Samsung announced on Monday evening that it will host a livestreamed Galaxy Unpacked event on September 4, strategically positioning itself just five days ahead of Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 17 event on September 9.

The virtual event, scheduled for 5:30 a.m. ET (2:30 a.m. PT), will stream live on Samsung.com and the company’s YouTube channel, according to an official Samsung announcement. The timing appears deliberate, as Samsung seeks to capture attention before Apple’s traditional fall product launch window

Jokes on them, there won’t be anyone around to watch it. Everyone on the planet took off work to play Silksong

Seems like Google with the Pixel event and now Samsung aim for Apple crowd in the US. Apple has been really lagging behind leaving an opportunity to convince people on switching.

  I’d consider switching to a Samsung phone if it didn’t contain a bunch of bloat. Don’t have ads in the operating system, don’t block side loading, don’t be loaded with telemetry. Don’t have software features in the phone that you need to subscribe for, don’t have in app purchases for the default apps that come with the phone.
  
  If they get to this point, then they are on par with iPhone. Google seems to be closer, but they are behind in performance.
  
  I’m happy to get a $700ish iPhone that I will use for 4-5 years.
  
  If a phone has preinstalled apps that can be removed, I’m pretty much not even remotely interested.

    This is such a perplexing take. All of your worries apply to Apple even more so and yet you have no problem with that?

    I have a Samsung S23 and literally none of the issues you describe. I swapped the launcher out but other than that it’s stock. I don’t use any of the Samsung services so yes, there is some bloat there, but it takes up minimal storage so it’s not a big deal.
    
    I have sideloading, don’t have any subscriptions, have amazing Work/Private sandboxing, and I have DeX which is so damn good. I came from Pixels and I honestly thing a lot of the tweaks Samsung makes to Android are real fixes to things Google ignores. It’s not perfect, of course, but I’m not seeing much better from Apple or Google right now.

  The only thing the pixel event is convincing anyone is that Kimmel is the superior Jimmy.

    The event was awful but my point still stands - google and samsung smell blood and believe they can convert apple users to android users. They are kinda right objectively speaking Apple was never as stagnant as it is today.

People still use Android? Surprising.

  Wtf are you talking about, apple is nowhere close to 100% market share no matter how much they wish they were, and FOSS alternatives are sufficiently difficult to install that the vast majory of consumers haven’t bothered.

  Not really. Most people don’t care about privacy, or their personal data being sold to the highest bidder. People still use Facebook, too.

    Yeah, the Facebook thing is shocking to me.
