It is anticipated that the next smartphone to join Samsung’s flagship series, which will be called the Galaxy S23, will be released toward the end of this year with a whole host of innovative new features.
These features will include a completely new design, upgraded processors, new camera systems, and probably some fresh new colour options.
You can also take a look at the information about the Galaxy S22 line’s features and specifications for use as a reference.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Price Predictions
If the problems with the supply chain continue into the mass production schedule of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, or if Samsung believes that the new quad-curve design and the 200MP camera sensor warrant a higher S23 price, then it is possible that the starting price of the Galaxy S23 Ultra will remain the same as it was for its predecessor at $1199.99.
| Model | Price |
|---|---|
| Galaxy S23 Ultra | $1199 (exp.) |
| Galaxy S22 Ultra | $1199 |
| Galaxy S20 Ultra | $1399 |
| Galaxy S23 | $799 (exp.) |
| Galaxy S22 | $799 |
For the S22 Ultra, it tucked the S Pen in and kept the battery size huge, but charged the same, so we keep our hopes high about a $799 starting price for the Galaxy S23, a $999 tag for the Galaxy S23+, and the sweet $1199 price spot for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The Galaxy S22 Ultra tucked the S Pen in and kept the battery size huge, but charged the same.
Galaxy S23 Series storage capacity
As a producer of its own internal flash storage chips and RAM memory, Samsung can afford to be stingy with the gigabytes allocated to each of its smartphones. With the Galaxy S23, Samsung might finally end the trend of beginning devices with 128GB of storage, at least for the Ultra model.
The S22 Ultra was rumoured to start at 256GB this time, but the rumour may be true for its successor since it will have a much improved camera sensor that can capture enormous single RAW photo files and breathtaking 8K video footage that will occupy a lot of space inside. This means that 128 gigs may not be enough this time.
| Model | Storage |
|---|---|
| Galaxy S23 Ultra | 256GB, 512GB, 1TB (exp.) |
| Galaxy S22 Ultra | 128GB/256GB/512GB/1TB |
| Galaxy S23 | 128GB/256GB (exp.) |
| Galaxy S22 | 128GB/256GB |
The third quarter of this year will see the mass production of Samsung’s Universal Flash Storage (UFS) solution’s latest iteration, version 4.0. For mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, UFS 4.0 will result in significant speed and efficiency improvements.
The UFS 4.0 storage solution might make its debut on Samsung’s 2022 flagship foldables, and it will undoubtedly be present on the 2023 Galaxy S23 flagship series.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Battery Life
The Galaxy S23 series’ battery life is anticipated to increase as a result of using the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which uses 3nm technology, as well as any potential new OLED panel generations.
The S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra batteries may need to be smaller and have a lesser capacity if Samsung opts for a new redesign and a waterfall display on the S23 series, which would offset the more cost-effective technology to achieve the battery life we tested on the S22 devices.
Galaxy S23 Series Expected release date
If Samsung’s previous launches serve as any indication, the Galaxy S23 smartphones will be made available for purchase on February 24, 2023.
Samsung moved up the release dates for the S21 and the S22 so that they will be available shortly before the Mobile World Congress, which begins on a Monday in late February.
| Model | Announcement date | Release date |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S23 series | February 8, 2023 (est.) | February 24, 2023 (est.) |
| Galaxy S22 series | February 9, 2022 | February 25, 2022 |
| Galaxy S21 series | January 14, 2021 | January 29, 2021 |
| Galaxy S20 series | February 11, 2020 | March 6, 2020 |
| Galaxy S10 series | February 20, 2019 | March 8, 2019 |
Since the MWC expo is scheduled to take place from Monday, February 27, 2023, through Thursday, March 2, 2023, the Galaxy S23 series ought to make its debut the Friday before the event, on February 24, 2023.
The Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra event, as well as the beginning of preorders, is projected to take place on February 8, 2024, provided that Samsung maintains the current schedule for the Galaxy S23 announcement.
Other Features And Specs
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor
- Qualcomm X70 5G modem
- 200MP Galaxy S23 ultra camera
- 108MP Galaxy S23/S23+ camera sensor
- Quad-curved “waterfall” display design
- 10Hz-120Hz LTPO displays on the Galaxy S23/S23+
- Android 13 with One UI 5 on top
The S23 series’ 5G capabilities were already revealed, even though Qualcomm is expected to reveal more information about its next-generation flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets later in the year. For the time being, all we know is that it has given the TSMC foundry the task of producing them on its 3nm process.
There were also suggestions that MediaTek’s top-tier chipsets, including the Dimensity 9000, may be used by Samsung in its flagship phone models, like the Galaxy S23, but those rumours were later shot down.
Because Samsung can’t achieve the power draw synergies between the Exynos 2300 chipset and its 5G modem as Qualcomm can for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and the X70 5G modem created on the 4nm process of TSMC, it has become clear that Samsung will only use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor to power the S23 series.
