The Samsung Galaxy S24, Samsung Galaxy S24+ and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra are as good as confirmed already. And we've seen so many rumours on each in recent times that there's not a whole lot Samsung could announce that's surprising.

Samsung is also tipped to unveil its Galaxy Buds 3 and a couple of fitness tracking devices – including its first smart ring – so they will be worth looking out for too.
