A leak has revealed the complete specs of the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+. Both phones will feature identical camera setups (50 MP + 10 MP + 12 MP), a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, and an FHD+ 120 Hz AMOLED display. Samsung will unveil both phones and the Galaxy S23 Ultra at Galaxy Unpacked on February 1.

While Samsung, for the most part, has done a stellar job of keeping Galaxy S23 leaks in check, there is plenty of information online about the upcoming flagships. And as is tradition, the intensity of leaks only gets higher as Galaxy Unpacked approaches (February 1). Renowned leaker Roland Quandt has further ruined Samsung's surprise by revealing the entire Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ spec sheet. Another leaker by the name of Bilibilikun has supplemented Quandt's leak with what looks like information sourced directly from Samsung France's website.

Starting with the vanilla Galaxy S23, one gets a 6.1-inch FHD+ (2,340 x 1,080) AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate. It has a pixel density of 425 PPI, supports HDR10+ and is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The display's refresh rate can dynamically adjust itself between 48 Hz and 120 Hz. It will draw power from a 3,900 mAh battery and support 25 W wired charging and 10 W wireless. While the actual battery capacity is only marginally larger than its predecessor (3,700 mAh), one should easily get more battery life due to the power-efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC that powers the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The Galaxy S23+ has the same display specs as the Galaxy S23 but with a larger 6.6-inch screen. It also comes with a remarkably better 4,700 mAh battery that supports 45 W wired charging. Other common specs across both devices include Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, Wireless Powershare, IP68 water resistance, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and dual Dolby Atmos speakers. All three devices will run One UI 5.1 out of the box and likely demo some exclusive features which should eventually make their way to older devices.

Like many Galaxy S phones that came before them, the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ will reuse their predecessor's cameras. A 50 MP lens (f/ 1.8, 23 mm focal length, 85-degree FOV, dual-pixel PDAF, OIS) will spearhead the setup. A 12 MP ultra-wide angle lens (f/ 2.2, 120-degree FOV, 13 mm focal length) will assist it, along with a 10 MP telephoto lens (f/ 3.4, 36-degree FOV, 69 mm focal length, 3x optical zoom). Its 12 MP selfie camera can capture photos in HDR10+ and videos at up to 4K 60 FPS. The primary camera ups that to 8K 30 FPS.

UWB (ultra-wideband) functionality, however, is exclusive to the Galaxy S23+ (and the Galaxy S23 Ultra), disproving an earlier leak that said the feature would be available on all three variants. Quandt's leak also clears the confusion around the storage options for the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+. Both smartphones will pack 8 GB of system memory, but the Galaxy S23 will pair it with either 128 GB or 256 GB of storage, while the Galaxy S23+ ups it to 256 GB or 512 GB. One can pick between four colourways for both: Black, Cotton, Green and Purple.
