A new leak has now revealed most relevant hardware details of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Screenshots from the Device Info HW app on a rogue unit of the S23 Ultra confirm the presence of the 200 MP ISOCELL HP2, new ultra-wide-angle and selfie camera sensors, and most importantly, a special variant of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

A comparison has been made between the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Google Pixel 7 Pro in regard to the capabilities of their selfie cameras. The Pixel 7 Pro’s front-facing camera has been widely praised for capturing natural-looking images, but the example produced by the Galaxy S23 Ultra in this instance looks to be next level in terms of quality.

A Samsung Galaxy A24 specs leak has supposedly revealed the key components for the upcoming affordable smartphone. Unsurprisingly, the Galaxy A24 will not sport the same cutting-edge components as its premium relatives, but there is some Galaxy S23 design influence to be found on the rear.

Following the hands-on leaks of the Galaxy S23 Ultra yesterday, camera samples from the February 1-bound flagship have now also leaked, showcasing the phone's apparently improved low-light and zoom camera performance.

The iGPU for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the TSMC-manufactured Qualcomm Adreno 740, has once again been showing its teeth on Geekbench. The S23 Ultra’s graphics processing unit was tested on Vulkan and produced another promising result that puts it over +56% ahead of the average provided by the Samsung-fabricated Adreno 730 that Global S22 Ultra phones relied upon.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra has now made its first live appearance ahead of its February 1 launch. The flagship phone was outed by a retail store, allegedly in Nicaragua, with the store showcasing the phone's design in a hands-on video as well as sharing an early zoom camera test.

Another Samsung Galaxy S23 price leak has emerged out of South Korea, and it may be a sign of good news for potential buyers. It appears price hikes for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra may have been revised down to encourage sales. If true, this could tie in neatly with a recent US price leak that showed a starting amount of US$799 for the Galaxy S23.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will come equipped with a new 200 MP camera. This sensor, the ISOCELL HP2, has a physical size of 1/1.3", falling short of a type 1-inch sensor like the IMX989 on phones like the Vivo X90 Pro and Xiaomi 13 Pro. Apparently, Samsung has a reason for that decision.

A supposed Samsung Galaxy S23 spec sheet from Verizon has been shared on social media, with details such as prices, pre-order date, launch date, and “key selling points” revealed. If genuine, the Galaxy S23 will have a starting price of US$799.99, while the prices for the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra also match those of the Galaxy S22 series.

Pre-order info, pricing, and even the spec sheet of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series leaked yesterday. It appears one detail in the leaked spec sheet may have been inaccurate, though, with word on the grapevine indicating the reality of the matter to be a significant positive.

ESR's latest offerings with its MagSafe-ready charging technology includes a new version of the kind of wireless charger reduced to a disk that can snap onto the back of an iPhone for continual use while charging. This HaloLock Mini "faster charging" accessory is rated to charge has a thicker "reinforced" braided cable rated to bear more weight, and has landed alongside new AirPod 2 Pro cases and something to make any iPhone or newer Samsung Galaxy S-series case MagSafe.

A supposed Samsung Galaxy S23 series price leak for France has come hot on the heels of a similar rumor posted in regard to the potential Australian prices for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Both sets of figures indicate considerable price hikes over the Galaxy S22 series for those markets, despite the current economic climate.

Samsung has released new updates for the Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro. Not yet available to the Galaxy Watch4 or Galaxy Watch4 Classic, the updates bring previously promised features, plus a new device diagnostics tool for the Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Galaxy Watch5 series.

Samsung is set to reveal the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra next month. The biggest and the most expensive of these, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, will allegedly rock the 200 MP ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor. Following countless rumors, the company has officially announced the sensor and, at least on paper, the HP2 looks quite capable.

The entire Galaxy S23 Ultra spec sheet has been highlighted by a new leak. Key features include a 6.8-inch QHD+ 120 Hz AMOLED panel, a 200 MP ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor, a 5,000 mAh battery with 45 W fast charging and up to 1 TB of storage.

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.

Official-looking promotional material for the Samsung Galaxy S23 series in Europe has now leaked online. The leak reveals what appears to be an interesting pre-order offer for the Galaxy S23 lineup in Germany, while essentially confirming storage options for the premium phones.

The Galaxy A53 5G can now be purchased for US$299, down from its US$449.99 retail price. The Galaxy A53 5G combines a 120 Hz AMOLED display, an Exynos 1280 chipset and a 5,000 mAh battery, among other features.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s 200 MP camera will apparently be capable of producing images that will not fill up the device’s storage within a few hundred shots. Considering the least-expensive Galaxy S23 Ultra will obviously have the smallest amount of storage, this will be good news for those who want to take advantage of the premium camera equipment at the lowest cost.

Samsung has outlined new features headed to the Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4, plus the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch5 series. The new features should start arriving early next week, with others due in February.

A new leak sheds light on the Galaxy S23 series' prices, which are now rumoured to start at US$799 for the entry-level device and US$1,499 for the tricked-out Galaxy S23 Ultra. The Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra will support Wi-Fi 7, while the base Galaxy S23 will be restricted to Wi-Fi 6.

Rumors on Samsung's plans for the Galaxy S22 FE have ranged from conflicting to blatantly incorrect in the past. A recent rumor claimed the S21 FE's successor was geared to debut soon but that may have been off the mark, with a new leak now touting a likely Q2 release.

Samsung has started selling the Galaxy A14 5G, starting in the US. While the company showcased the handset in multiple colours, it has decided to bring it to market in the plainest option of the four shown. There is only one memory configuration on offer too.

The Galaxy S23 Plus can now be viewed from practically all sides, courtesy of a new leak. The Galaxy S23 Plus will debut at the start of next month alongside the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Ultra and at least the Galaxy Book3.

Official images of the Galaxy S23 Ultra have surfaced online, just over two weeks before Samsung presents the Galaxy S23 series. Not only does the leak showcase what the Galaxy S23 Ultra looks like, but it also offers insights into its launch colours and how it differs from the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Apparently, Samsung is preparing to dispense with in-house Exynos chipset on its mid-range smartphones, not just the upcoming Galaxy S23 series. Based on several Geekbench listings, the forthcoming Galaxy A34 5G will arrive later this year with the MediaTek Dimensity 1080, plus at least 6 GB of RAM.

It may have taken a while, but official images of the Galaxy S23 have leaked online. Sourced by a reliable leaker, the images show not only the upcoming smartphone's design, but also its four launch colours. The leaker also outlines a couple of Galaxy S23 specifications.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has received at least four notable improvements over its predecessor according to the well-known leaker Ice universe. The source has discussed four important aspects of the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra that may not have been as frequently reported about as much as the expected 200 MP main camera and slightly flatter display.

It has been reported that Samsung will likely cut the Plus-sized model from the Galaxy S24 series. The smartphone range would feature just two devices: The Samsung Galaxy S24 and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Part of the reason for the purported reduction is the disappointing estimated shipment figure for the Apple iPhone 14 Plus.
Update: A noted leaker has contested the report's accuracy.

Samsung is poised to release another Galaxy A series smartphone. Seemingly a different version of the Galaxy A14, the handset will feature a 120 Hz display and up to 2 days of battery life. The next Galaxy A series smartphone will arrive on January 18.

Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, Galaxy S23 Ultra, and Galaxy Book3 reservations have officially opened. Samsung US is offering different amounts of credit for those who make a pre-order for an “upcoming Galaxy phone and/or Galaxy Book” as a reservation gift. Invitations for the Galaxy Unpacked event on February 1 have also been issued.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has been widely reported to feature a display with specs identical to the Galaxy S22 Ultra's. This likely guarantees that the S23 Ultra will not offer the best smartphone display on the market, with the company reportedly prioritizing AP and camera hardware in the face of budget constraints.

Although there are no numbers mentioned, one Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra teaser that surfaced in China reveals that the next-gen device will come with "megapixels that'll make you say wooow" and highlighted the fact that a "wow resolution is coming." Another warm-up video revealed that "Stunning night photos are coming" as well.

Official Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra leather cases have appeared in eBay classified ads. The cases are shown off in three different colors, with the seller revealing the front and rear of the Galaxy S23 case packaging. The cases clearly show the frame shape and camera arrangement of the flagship smartphones.

New information about what to expect from this year's Galaxy Z Fold has emerged online, likely seven months before Samsung reveals the device. If true, it would mean that Samsung has opted to make the Galaxy Z Fold5 being thicker and heavier than the current Galaxy Z Fold4, among other changes.

A new Samsung Galaxy S23 leak has claimed that the regular model of the series will actually sport as little as 128 GB of storage space. This would put the entry-level Galaxy S23 on the same footing as the entry-level Galaxy S22, although the Galaxy S23 Ultra would start with a higher amount. However, three known leakers have offered differing opinions on this subject.
Update: One leaker has slightly redacted a previous claim, thus offering a clearer picture.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will apparently be treated to four new colorways on top of the colors that have previously been leaked for the upcoming premium flagship smartphone. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is already expected to arrive in black, cream, green, and lavender. In addition, an Estonian retailer has revealed a decent registration gift for future Galaxy S23 device buyers.

A poster from what is likely Samsung Colombia's official website confirms Galaxy Unpacked will happen on February 1. The event is expected to take place in San Francisco and will primarily be centred around the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra.

A rumored Samsung Galaxy S23 series price leak has appeared, with the tipster involved claiming it comes from SKTelecom. If the prices listed for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra are genuine, then it would indicate an expected price hike is incoming for the 2023 flagship smartphones.

A 12 GB variant of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has been spotted on Geekbench where it produced mixed results. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered 12 GB Galaxy S23 Ultra managed a decent-enough single-core score but the multi-core result was somewhat insipid in comparison to other similarly specced smartphones, including the 8 GB S23 Ultra.

Conflicting Samsung Galaxy S23 display specifications have been offered up by two well-known tech tipsters. While the differences between the alleged specs are small, they could be crucial in regard to the battery life performance of the S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra. It appears the confusion about a flat-screened Galaxy S23 Ultra may have been resolved.

All three of the phones in the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will come with a minimum of 256 GB storage, according to a new leak. The lineup, which features the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra, is expected to be launched in February. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will apparently feature a 1 TB variant.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has appeared in some new and well-crafted fan-made concept renders in each of its currently four rumored colors. In a surprising turn of events, the leaker who shared the new renders has made a claim about the Galaxy S23 Ultra design that has caused another popular leaker to offer a controversial correction.

Recent reports claim Samsung may be gearing up to launch the Galaxy S22 FE after all. Those same sources, however, seem to indicate that the S22 FE will be the last Fan Edition phone, with the South Korean company reportedly having no plans to launch a Galaxy S23 FE in the future.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series has not even been released yet and one well-known leaker has already predicted hard times ahead for both the S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra. With the Vivo X90 Pro+ seemingly being a major threat to the success of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the same tipster has offered up early expectations for the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 FE may be on the way after all. Following reports of a cancellation earlier in the year, word on the grapevine now seems to indicate that the Galaxy S21 FE's successor is on the way, along with the bean-style Galaxy Buds2 Live.

While phones like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Xiaomi 12S Ultra, and iPhone 14 Pro Max are critically regarded as being the best camera smartphones on the market, thanks to their class-leading hardware and advanced computational photography, it appears public opinion without brand bias leans towards an entirely different smartphone: the Google Pixel 6A.

A new leak says the Galaxy S23 Ultra's display's peak brightness maxes out at 1,750 nits. This is remarkably lower than the 2,300 nits figure stated earlier and the same as the Galaxy S22 Ultra. However, it will supposedly perform better under direct sunlight.

For the first time yet, an official-looking promotional teaser for the Galaxy S23 series has surfaced in the wild. The leaked image showcases the phones' designs, likely color options, and potential pre-order gifts.

A new Geekbench run for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has shown how well the device can perform with help from its overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The Galaxy S23 Ultra variant in this latest benchmark features 8 GB of RAM, with a 12 GB model also expected to be part of the lineup.
