Samsung’s February Unpacked Event has just concluded, and as we expected, it was filled with exciting flagship product announcements, from a powerful new Galaxy S22 Ultra to a revamped tablet experience featuring three new Galaxy Tab S8 devices.
Today’s event was the first of two mobile product events that Samsung usually holds each year, but it’s this one where it shows off its most popular new flagship devices and that sets the tone for the remainder of the year.
How to watch Samsung’s Galaxy February Unpacked event if you missed it
Samsung broadcast the event live on its YouTube channel on Wednesday, February 9, but the good news is that if you couldn’t watch it live, the whole thing is still available for viewing on-demand.
If you prefer not to sit through the entire event, we expect Samsung will also publish a few shorter videos soon to recap its individual announcements, so be sure to keep an eye on the Samsung YouTube channel for those.

Of course, while the S22 family headlined the event, it wasn’t just about smartphones. Samsung used the last part of Unpacked to show off a whole new Galaxy Tab S8 lineup with a third player: The new Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.
This year, it’s apparent that Samsung has rebranded “Ultra” to be synonymous with “Note,” and it made it clear that this is where it’s largest new tablet fits into the mix. With a 14.6-inch screen, Samsung has managed to make the Tab S8 Ultra its thinnest tablet ever, while still packing in a Super AMOLED 120 Hz panel with a WQXGA+ resolution.
