Samsung is all set to introduce the Galaxy S23 series, one of the most-awaited smartphones of the year, at the company’s Galaxy Unpacked event in February. The devices will kick off the flagship segment every year, and fortunately, we know enough about the devices thanks to multiple leaks.

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. The Galaxy S23 Ultra will be the premium offering of the series, featuring the best hardware.

Samsung Galaxy S23 series launch date

Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S23 series will be launched at the Galaxy Unpacked event on February 1. The event will begin at 11:30 PM.

Samsung Galaxy S23 series pre-booking

Samsung has started accepting pre-bookings for the upcoming Galaxy S23 series. Interested users can pre-book the device by paying INR 2,000.

Users who pre-book the device will be among the first users to get the smartphones. Additionally, they will get benefits worth up to INR 5,000 and get access to exclusive color variants of the devices.

Samsung Galaxy S23 series expected price

A tipster has revealed the Samsung Galaxy S23 series pricing in South Korea. The leaked prices suggest that the Galaxy S23 series will be priced higher than the Galaxy S22 series.

• S23 – 1,199,000 won (approx. ₹79,300)
• S23+ – 1,397,000 won (approx. ₹92,300)
• S23 Ultra – 1,599,400 won (approx. ₹1,05,700)

For comparison, the Galaxy S22 was launched at the following prices in South Korea –

• S22 – 999,000 won (approx. ₹66,100)
• S22+ – 1,199,000 won (approx. ₹79,300)
• S22 Ultra – 1,452,000 won (approx. ₹96,000)

This will further push the Indian pricing, which was already higher than the South Korean pricing. If the leaked prices are true, we can expect an increase of 10 to 20%.

Samsung Galaxy S23 series design

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is expected to look identical to the Galaxy S22 series, with the vanilla Galaxy S23 featuring a revamped camera module, giving it separate holes for the three cameras at the back, just like the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra will reportedly feature a quad-curved display, an upgrade over the dual-curved display used in the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

The devices are expected to be launched in three color options – black, beige, green, and light pink. The beige option will reportedly replace the white option seen in earlier iterations.

Samsung Galaxy S23 series display

The Galaxy S23 series is expected to feature the same displays as its predecessor.

The Galaxy S23 will feature a 6.1-inch Full HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The Galaxy S23+ is expected to feature a larger 6.6-inch Full HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the top-end Galaxy S23 Ultra is expected to sport a slightly larger 6.8-inch Quad HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

The devices are expected to feature better display protection as they are expected to be protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 launched in December 2022.

Samsung Galaxy S23 series performance

The Galaxy S23 series is expected to be equipped exclusively with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, moving away from the Snapdragon-Exynos launch based on regions.

The Galaxy S23 series is expected to offer 256GB storage as a standard, a welcome step considering the increasing storage needs of users.

The Galaxy S23 series will reportedly offer a 36% boost in processor speed, a 48% improvement in graphics performance, and a 60% improvement in neural processing compared to its predecessor.

Samsung Galaxy S23 series camera

Cameras are one of the highlights of the Galaxy S23 series, especially the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is expected to receive the biggest boost in camera, with leakers comparing the night photography of the device to “night vision.”

The Galaxy S23 and S23+ are expected to feature the same camera setup – a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 10MP telephoto sensor.

The S23 Ultra is expected to be equipped with a quad camera setup – a 200MP primary camera with the ISOCELL HP2 sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 10MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, and a 10MP periscope camera with 10x optical zoom. The device will reportedly allow users to capture 8K 30FPS videos.
