Samsung Galaxy S23: All the Rumors We Know So Far

We've recently heard a lot about the new Galaxy S23 Ultra & how it may appear quite similar to the current S22 Ultra variant. The smartphone giant Samsung is developing a new S-series gadget. The new device will be a flagship model called the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The Galaxy S23 will have to fill some large shoes when it arrives, but we're optimistic that Samsung can do it with its following flagship phones.

The Galaxy S23 rumour mill is only getting started, but we decided to highlight what's out there and what we'd want to see.

So, what can we anticipate from the Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup? Keep reading to get early insights!

Let's Get Straight to The Point

• What exactly is it? The next flagship phone
• When will it be available? It will be available from the starting months of 2023
• How much would it cost? Probably about $799 / £769 / AU$1,249

What Specifications and Features Will the Samsung Galaxy S23 Range Have?

With the Samsung Galaxy S23 range's launch expected later in 2023, we haven't received any assurances from Samsung on what the architecture will look like. Of course, this hasn't prevented the gossip mill from spreading information about leaks and what we could witness.

These rumours and leaks are from several authoritative sources that have a good previous track record of anticipating features of Samsung products prior to their launch. But no wonder Samsung might shock its users with something unpredictable. With that said, let's delve into the predicted specs and features of the Samsung Galaxy 23.

Samsung Galaxy S23: Design Changes

In 2022, the Galaxy S range had one of its most significant changes. The Galaxy S22 Ultra was redesigned to look and perform more like a Galaxy Note phone. It had a boxy shape and an S Pen slot.

The Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus stayed substantially unchanged compared to prior versions. This strategy is quite likely to be repeated by Samsung in 2023. If that happens, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will resemble the Galaxy S22 Ultra, while the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus will not differ significantly.

The display on the S23 Ultra will remain the same size and quality as before - 6.8in and 3088*1440 - thus, introducing the 3D Sonic Max sensor might be the phone's only enhancement here.

Specifications and Features

Samsung also seldom downgrades specifications over time. When contrasted to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, we predict the Galaxy S23 Ultra to offer equal or superior specifications.

This would imply at least 8GB RAM, 128GB internal storage, a 1440p display with a faster refresh rate, at least 5,000mAh battery capacity, and 45W wired charging speed, if not more.

With the memory, an SD card slot may be introduced, with a capacity of 2TB at max.

It would also imply a quad-sensor back camera with twin telephoto lenses and a primary sensor capable of meeting or exceeding 108MP resolution.

There are early speculations of a possible 200MP camera on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but we can not believe these statements until more sources confirm this rumour.

Nevertheless, the Galaxy S23 & Galaxy S23 Plus likely inherit much of the Galaxy S22 series' specifications.

The back camera system would most likely remain the same, with a macro, ultrawide, and telephoto lens.

According to one report, the telephoto lens will not be updated until 2023. Thus the phones may have the same arrangement as the Galaxy S22 series in that aspect.

Battery

While no one knows for sure, the battery life of the next Samsung Galaxy S23 is anticipated to be better than that of the similar Samsung Galaxy S22 series. Why? According to The Elec, Samsung is testing a unique process that stacks battery components in layers rather than wrapping them.

Electric car batteries use this technique. If Samsung can adapt this technique to the Samsung Galaxy S23 line, Elec claims that the battery life might be increased by 10%.

If this is the case, the base variant of the Samsung Galaxy S23 may have about 17 hours of LTE time, 19 hours of Wi-Fi Web browsing, and 21 hours of video playing time.

Of course, we'll have to wait till Samsung announces the phone to find out exactly what it is the Samsung Galaxy S23 battery pack will deliver.

According to rumours, the S23 Ultra will have a battery pack of 5500mah or even more, while the S23+ will have a 5000mAh capacity, and the normal S23 will have a 4500mAh cell.

Cameras

Cameras are another essential selling feature for Galaxy phones. We hear rumours that one of the S23 versions, most probably the Galaxy S23 Ultra, will use Samsung's new 200Mp ISOCELL HP1 lens in its primary camera.

How Soon Will the Samsung Galaxy S23 Become Available?

Samsung's Galaxy S phones have a very consistent release cycle. Each year, they are generally announced and released in January or February. The last several generations were revealed in these years:

• Samsung Galaxy S22 -- Feb 2022
• Samsung Galaxy S21 -- Jan 2021
• Samsung Galaxy S20 -- Feb 2020

These releases often contain the base Samsung S series and Ultra variations.

Based on the speculations we've heard so far and the pattern set by Samsung, we predict the Galaxy S23 variants to be released in February 2023.

How Much Would the Samsung Galaxy S23 Cost?

In terms of pricing, the Samsung S23 price might be comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S22, which begins at $799 / £769 / AU$1,249. It's the same launching price as the Galaxy S21.

Thus, Samsung may choose this three times a row, albeit the price may climb somewhat. Of course, that only applies to the ordinary model:

• The Samsung Galaxy S22 begins at AU$1,249
• The Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus begins at AU$1,549
• The Galaxy S22 Ultra begins at AU$1,849

Thus the successors of those phones might be priced similarly. Samsung will carry out this approach in 2023. If this happens, the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra will cost $1,249 AUD, $1,549 AUD and $1,849 AUD respectively.
