Samsung Galaxy S23 images and details leak online thanks to AT&T
This morning, an AT&T store in the US made a mistake that allowed the entire world to see the unreleased Samsung Galaxy S23 handset. The store unleashed a product promo page online, that also revealed most of the technical specs and features of the handset that remains scheduled for launch in two days. Obviously, today's unwanted event doesn't change the date of the next Galaxy Unpacked event, which will take place on February 1 as previously announced.
According to CNET, the page posted by the Brookhaven store in Atlanta was taken down around 11:20 AM ET. Unsurprisingly, it was online long enough for a lot of people to take screenshots and/or copy the text. The list of essential details includes a 50 MP camera with advanced night photography features (named "Nightography" by Samsung), a 6.6-inch display with adaptive refresh, wireless fast charging, noise cancelation, and a battery capacity generous enough to for a full day of regular use. The mention of the 6.6-inch display indicates this was probably the S23+ model being described, as the regular S23 is expected to be 6.1-inches.
In addition to the above, the leak confirmed that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 is water-resistant (no details about its IPX rating, unfortunately) and will be available in no less than four colors, namely green, cream, lavender, and black. The dimensions shown are 5.76 X 2.79 X 0.30 inches alongside a weight of 0.37 pounds. Some of the details, including the S23 prices and purchase dates, can be seen in the screenshots below.
During the aforementioned launch event, Samsung is expected to announce a total of three Galaxy S23 devices, namely the regular model, the Plus variant, and the premium Ultra phone.
