Samsung launched Galaxy S23 Bow Wow edition in South Korea
Samsung always launches limited-edition devices for its premium models in collaboration with various famous brands. At present, the Galaxy S23 series is in talks as it is the latest smartphone flagship by Samsung. Recently, Samsung launched a Bow-Wow edition of the Galaxy S23 device in South Korea, which specifically is a puppy-centric smartphone. So, let’s take a look at this limited-edition device.
Let us tell you this Bow-Wow edition Galaxy S23 device is limited to the South Korean region only. The major specification of this limited-edition device is the same as the standard Galaxy S23 device in terms of Camera, Display, and Processor, but it sure got some changes in its UI and other specifications. Let’s know in detail about this limited-edition Bow-Wow-inspired Galaxy S23 device.
Camera and Selfie
This new limited-edition device is capable of diagnosing diseases such as arthritis, dislocation, and glaucoma and analyzing the body composition just with a single image. As selfies have also evolved now, your Gallery will be filled with memories.
High-five soles for your own diet
As it is a puppy-centric smartphone, it will provide your puppy’s body nutrition diagnosis when you put his sole jelly on the screen. You can check and personalize the diet of each dog based on the AI’s analysis and suggestions. You can also shop for all the necessary groceries right away at the e-food hall.
Unlock with Nose Pattern
This device can be unlocked with the puppy’s nose pattern; all they have to do is to touch the tip of the nose to the inscription scanner.
AI Play Mode
As the device is capable of reading your mind, you can enjoy the play as much as you want with the help of the AI Play mode. The other advantage is if you connect your phone to a drone, you can repeat the “fetch” game endlessly without needing a butler.
8K Recording
This limited-edition device is capable of recording even while you are asleep, as it has an ultra-high-definition 8K dream recorder.
Sustainable starlight charging for a starry night
The device has a better-quality battery, so you don’t need to worry while long walks and long trips. When Sun goes down, you can recharge them only with the starlight.
Bow-Wow UI
As this device is a Bow-Wow-edition device, its UI is also inspired by Bow-Wow. With this UI’s help, you can customize your device’s various details, such as lock screen, theme, widgets, notifications, and more, as it has a custom Bow-Wow interface.
Finally, Samsung started distributing the waiting One UI 6.1 update to more Galaxy flagship devices that debuted in 2021 and 2022. Now a total of 19 Galaxy devices have gotten their Android 14-based One UI 6.1 update.
Samsung has added new devices to the list of One UI 6.1, which are as follows:
- Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Flip 3.
The Galaxy S22 series, including the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra, is on the list of devices getting One UI 6.1, but it appears that Samsung may have delayed the rollout due to errors a few users have faced after updating their smartphones.
It is reported that the rollout was paused because some Galaxy S22 units may fail to boot or unlock after the update has been installed. However, users on the Samsung Community forums in Korea, the only market where One UI 6.1 has been released for now, don’t appear to have run into issues themselves.
However, Samsung has yet to officially confirm that it has paused the rollout and even acknowledged any issues, so at the moment, it’s not exactly confirmed that the update has been taken off the air. The Galaxy S22 series owners who didn’t get the One UI 6.1 update yet might want to wait for more details to come out before proceeding with the installation.
If the users are afraid of the issue and want to avoid the risk, they might consider waiting until the Korean giant fixes these problems before installing the update.
Samsung has kept the same battery capacity for the flagship devices while also sticking to the same fast charging speed. If we look at the Galaxy S Ultra devices from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the company has stuck with 45 W charging and the same 5000 mAh battery. According to the latest report, the Galaxy S25 Ultra may also use the same battery and specifications.
Previous, it was rumored that the Galaxy S24 Ultra could be equipped with stacked battery technology, which could lead to maximizing the component cost, but now, according to an X user named Sawyer Galox, it is reported that the Korean giant will skip this hardware change on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra to save on component cost.
Along with this, the tipster also expressed his disappointment with Samsung’s take on the unchained hardware. He adds that users who want to buy the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra should keep their expectations low with the battery performance, as Samsung will keep the specs the same with the 500mAh battery and the 45W.
However, the company will also introduce its latest device with new chipsets that may provide improved optimization, which may provide some long-lasting battery life, but it will not provide any improvement in charging.
Samsung is preparing to introduce its next-generation foldable device, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, given that the new smartphones in the Z lineup typically launch between July and August, some rumors suggest that the company might host the next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, 2024. Despite the date being more than three months away, numerous details have surfaced online.
According to recent reports, Samsung plans to implement its dual chipset strategy for the foldable, mirroring the Galaxy S series lineup, where some models of the Galaxy S base and Galaxy S+ devices feature Snapdragon, while in other markets, they feature Exynos.
The next foldable lineup rumoured to come with multiple chipsets; for example, the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s last Geekbench listing showed that it has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. However, this processor is already one year old, so there are fewer expectations that it could be available in the main models. However, if a rumor proves to be accurate, it could potentially be available for the FE variant of the devices.
For your information, the rumors have revealed that Samsung could introduce two new versions of the foldable devices with the brand names ‘FE’ and ‘Ultra‘, so to make the difference, it may introduce them in separate chipsets. If it provides the older chipset for the FE version, then it will be successful in cost-cutting and releasing the device at a low cost.
