Samsung has announced that its Galaxy MWC (Mobile World Congress) event will take place at 10 a.m. PT on February 27 as a virtual livestream on YouTube.

While there is no official word on what Samsung has in store to announce, the theme of the event appears to be connected mobile devices, which is evident from the laptop, smartwatch, foldables, tablets, and stylus featured on the invite.

Samsung’s MWC Galaxy event quickly follows its Galaxy Unpacked event which took place on February 9 and unveiled the Galaxy S22 series. The flagship series includes the Galaxy S22, the Galaxy S22+, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Galaxy S22 Ultra, in particular, has stood out due to it assuming the Samsung Galaxy Note’s legacy. The brand decided to retire the once-popular Galaxy Note line and bring its highlight feature, the built-in S-Pen, to the Galaxy S line for the first time with the Ultra.

By the time Samsung hosts its MWC event, the devices will be freshly on the market, having recently gone on sale in many global regions on February 25.

With a lot of businesses still affected by the pandemic, Samsung might not have that much to showcase at Mobile World Congress and might save bigger product reveals for future Galaxy Unpacked events. Last year, the brand previewed the features of its One UI Watch software, which was a partnership with Google, at MWC before officially unveiling the OS alongside the Galaxy Watch 4 at a Galaxy Unpacked event later in the year.

Many brands, including Samsung, did not attend MWC 2021 in person and hosted virtual press conferences to maintain the health and safety of their employees.

Does your Samsung Galaxy S22 have a bootlooping problem? You aren’t alone
Galaxy S22 Plus in green seen from the back.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is great, but many users have been plagued by bootloops for a year or more. If you're finding yourself among that number — don't worry, you aren't alone — Samsung does offer a potential fix. A quick search of the r/SamsungGalaxy subreddit shows multiple posts reporting bootloops from the One UI 6.1 beta update and more posts from a year or more ago. This is far from an uncommon issue.

The primary fix for this problem is to send your phone to Samsung for a replacement motherboard, although this comes at a cost since the S22 series is no longer under warranty. However, another Reddit user — u/HenryTan — shared an update that Samsung will cover the cost of repairs. It might be a matter of luck, but u/HenryTan suggests emailing the Samsung CEO for a faster response. They also admitted that being a Samsung Care member could have influenced the decision.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could miss out on a crucial tracking feature
Offline Find My Device setup in Android.

One of the lost object-tracking updates that appeared for Android phones this year was the ability to locate them even when they run out of juice. The convenience is shipped as part of Android’s Find My Device system. It, however, appears that Samsung’s next flagship will miss out on that convenience.

The folks over at Android Authority did some code sleuthing and spotted details of a disabled Bluetooth-finding protocol. Owing to the inactive status, the phone won't appear on the location-finding map once it runs out of battery juice. Before we proceed further, do keep in mind that these are pre-launch details about unreleased hardware, so the situation might change down the road.
