Get to see Samsung’s next flagship phones in just a couple of months. Samsung unveils Galaxy S23 machine in the US in the first week of February 2023, according to the information platform Korea JoongAng Daily, which cites an anonymous company executive. As The Verge notes, it reflects a previous report by Chosun, stating that the company will reveal the lineup by February next year. The executive reportedly told JoongAng Daily that the flagship phone launched at an Unpacked event in the US, which expect to take place in San Francisco.
While Samsung has yet formally announced an Unpacked event for the Galaxy S23, the timeline written by the publications is consistent with the previous flagship launch dates. Samsung announced its Galaxy S22 phones on February 9th earlier this year and introduced a new addition to the lineup, Galaxy S22 Ultra, which combines the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Note bars and arrives with a built-in S Pen slot.
According to previous reports, the next series flagship might ditch the Exynos SoCs that the company typically uses for its European and Asian variants. Rather Samsung might go all in on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chunks. Some unofficial renders that flowed online also indicate that Samsung is acquiring rid of the camera bump on the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus, simply three camera lenses protruding from their bodies.
Diehard Android fans may know that the recent Samsung Galaxy S22 sequence is now past the halfway point of its reign as the company flagship. The headline measure from the mighty South Korean portable manufacturer is almost certain to be the Galaxy S23. As was the case this year, expect it to come in (at least) three models: the S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra. Everything we know far, including all the latest Galaxy S23 specs, release date, and price rumors.
Despite still standing before doors for the Galaxy S23 – to cut to the chase, throw until February 2023 – there is plenty of excitement surrounding the upcoming handset. Some info looks pretty legit, and other stories seem more tenuous, interest in Samsung’s next bonus offering improved just with a flurry of gossip covering its use of a Snapdragon chipset.
Barring an aberration in 2021 when the world stood at peak Covid, Samsung has consistently released its new Galaxy S series in February each year. If we examine further back, there are a couple of March appearances as well, but no radical divergence from the pattern.
When it comes to the Galaxy S23 price, there are a lot of variables – namely, after the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, or Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Based on the S22 series, looking at at least £769 for the base model and £1,149 or more if you want the super-sized, super-ritzy Ultra version. This is only strictly relevant to this year’s phones, similarly, costs are expected for the next outing, barring any major change in Samsung strategy – or further fluctuations to the global cost of living.
The most recent S23 series news comes via the FCC, the body communication rates all of America’s telephone hardware before release. Model numbers SM-S911B and SM-S916B (likely the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+) died through a diploma in late November. While much of the info redacts, it does suggest Qualcomm will be the firm supplying the CPUs. We can also anticipate a 3900mAh battery for the S23, and a 4700mAh cell for the S23+. Both phones have wireless charging, with reverse might share.
Interestingly Samsung filed a patent for Samsung Superfast Portable Power around the same time, suggesting it has something in the pipeline a little faster than the Galaxy S22 25W maximum charge rate. Rivals like Oppo, Xiaomi, and Motorola are leaving the firm for dust with how quickly their phones will top up, so an increase would certainly be welcome for the S23 series – although rumors have thrown cold water on that idea. Expect the Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra to max out at 45W, just like this year’s standards.
While seeing any truly convincing mock-ups of the Galaxy S23 line-up, the people making them may not work too hard Twitter tipster Ice Universe suggests the biggest difference between the S23 Ultra and S22 Ultra replaces the radian of the curved sides. The thickness will reportedly be the same, and other design elements stray too far. That would band up with the remainder of the phone world apple mixed things up massively for the iPhone 14, and the Pixel 7 is a slight change of a design Google raised the year before.
