Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event to take place on Feb. 9

If you were waiting for the official date of Samsung's next event, the company has confirmed it will take place on February 9. We can expect to see "the most noteworthy S series ever created," a nod to the Galaxy S22 Ultra getting more Galaxy Note features. The event will stream live on the Samsung Newsroom and Samsung's YouTube channel starting at 10 a.m. EST.

The event might focus on the new Samsung flagship phones. But there are rumours that we might see the Galaxy Tab S8 series at the event, too.

The regular Microsoft Xbox Series S might be hard to get your hands on, but this limited edition model might be harder to cop. For Chinese New Year, the company has a Year of the Tiger edition of the Xbox Series S. There will only be 15 units available. Those in China can only get one through special sweepstakes from WeChat and bilibili China. 

It doesn't look like there are any different hardware features from the regular model besides the striking design. Chinese cartoon artist Bu2ma created this design in a red skin with cool tiger motifs in black. There's also golden Chinese lettering that signifies the zodiac sign.

He targets Spotify because of its exclusive deal with podcaster Joe Rogan, who has helped fuel this anti-vaccine movement. "I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform," he continued. "They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young. Not both."
