Samsung has just announced that its next Unpacked event is taking place this Thursday, March 17, 2022. And judging by the invite, this is going to be all about Samsung’s Galaxy A line of smartphones.
This wouldn’t be the first time that Samsung has had an Unpacked event for its Galaxy A smartphones. It first did it last year, around this same time.
As has been the case with the previous few Samsung events, this is going to be a streamed event, taking place on March 17, starting at 10AM ET.
Not as many leaks and rumors surrounding upcoming Galaxy A smartphones
It’s pretty clear that the Galaxy A isn’t as hyped or important to a lot of people as the Galaxy S series is. We’ve seen very little in terms or rumors and leaks for these upcoming phones. But we will likely see a handful announced later this week. Including a new Galaxy A70 series – likely a Galaxy A73. Among some others.
The Galaxy A is still important for Samsung. As these phones are cheaper than the Galaxy S lineup, but still offer some of the same features, and some decent specs. For instance, the Galaxy A72 that was announced last year at this event features a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, the Snapdragon 720G, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. That is powered by a 5000mAh capacity battery and that’s available for right around $500, depending on where you look. That’s a pretty solid phone for around $500.
Either way, we’re likely to get the Galaxy A73 among a few others at Unpacked later this week. And it comes at a perfect time, as the next day, the new iPhone SE (2022) becomes available officially, after pre-orders opened on Friday. Which is a $429 smartphone with a 2014 design. And is going to compete quite nicely with a Galaxy A73.
