The company will announce a number of OnePlus products at the event, but the highlight will be the official unveiling of the brand's two latest flagship offerings, said the company.

While the Galaxy Flip phones cheer and flip in the stands, a few smartphones that resemble iPhones remain in the audience, standing still with sad emojis displayed on their displays as they look around at the sea of Galaxy Flip phones.

According to data.ai report, mobile will take over the share of advertising wallet as more time than ever before is spent in apps, with total hours on the track to surpass four trillion on Android phones alone in 2022. In 2022, the global mobile ad spend was $336 billion.

The new smartphones -- Galaxy A04 and A04e - will have the RAM Plus feature, supporting up to 8GB RAM, industry sources told IANS. RAM Plus allows users to add virtual RAM storage to their phone as per their usage to ensure apps run well and multitasking is smooth.

Previously, it was rumoured that the Galaxy S23 series is likely to feature Chip-maker Qualcomm's third-generation ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. It is still unclear whether it will feature the same 3D Sonic Max sensor Qualcomm debuted earlier this year or a completely different fingerprint scanner.

According to SamMobile, the update comes with a new firmware version and the November 2022 security patch, which is available over the air -- users can download the update by tapping the download and install option after navigating to the Software update menu in the phone's Settings.
