Surprise! Galaxy S11 will launch Feb. 11 at Samsung Unpacked event – CNET
This is the official Unpacked invitation.
Samsung
The Galaxy S11 is one step closer to reality. After a promotional video surfaced that accidentally revealed the date of the launch, Samsung has now made its Unpacked event official — the brand will reveal its first phones for 2020 on Feb. 11 in San Francisco at 11 a.m. PT. The event will take place at the Palace of Fine Arts (not a real palace). Samsung made its announcement on Saturday, days before the annual CES show in Las Vegas begins.
Industry watchers expect the company to unveil a trio of Galaxy S11 phones in three sizes, as well as a foldable rival to Motorola’s Razr, which Samsung teased in October.
The invitation mirrors the promotional video leak, in which the letters “Glxy” are interspersed with two images that resemble Samsung’s phone packaging. Looking for hints, it’s possible that the box on the left with the rounded corners represents the Galaxy S11 family — the Galaxy S design often has more rounded edges than the Galaxy Note series.
The box on the right, with the squarer corners and diamond-shaped orientation, could represent Samsung’s foldable phone, which is expected to have a square orientation when closed.
Is this the Galaxy S11?

Samsung’s Unpacked launch event will take place weeks before Mobile World Congress, the world’s largest mobile trade show, which runs Feb. 24 to 27 in Barcelona. Revealing its first major phones of 2020 ahead of the global gathering gives Samsung an advantage over its competition and a chance to lead the pack with new features that phones in 2020 are expected to share. By announcing first, Samsung can claim to innovate, while others follow.
5G support and foldable designs are this year’s most important phone trends, along with advancements in photography. Although the US government’s ban on Huawei has clipped the wings of Samsung’s biggest threat in 2019, the brand still feels pressure from Apple’s iPhone, Motorola’s foldable Razr and OnePlus‘ phones that offer high-end features for hundreds of dollars less than Samsung’s premium price tag.

That said, it’s a good time for the world’s largest phone brand. While Samsung’s overall revenue is down, smartphone profits are up on the strength of the Galaxy Note 10 and A-series sales. A strong Galaxy S11 showing could widen the gap in Samsung’s favor.
Galaxy S11’s rumored features include 5G, a 108-megapixel camera, a 5,000-mAh battery and a new design that borrows from the Galaxy Note 10. CNET will cover Samsung Unpacked live. Until then, read all the Galaxy S11 rumors and everything we know about Samsung’s follow-up to the Galaxy Fold.

The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.
For all information about the Bob-Birnie arena, visit the arena’s page on our website.
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
Apple CEO Tim Cook posted this GIF for the virtual event to X on Tuesday morning.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
