The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra debuted last week with new cameras and performance hardware. It appears all of that hardware, as well as solid optimization, has resulted in a flagship that delivers excellent battery life—significantly better than the S22 Ultra, and within touching distance of Apple's best.

A rumour from the South Korean tech forum Meeco says the Exynos 2400 has been approved for mass production, with samples ready to be delivered by June 2023. It will be Samsung's largest chip so far and is being closely monitored by TM Roh.

Samsung's latest Galaxy S23-series flagship Android smartphones have been released to pre-order in India via several channels, Amazon included. They start at ~US$970 on that site, rising to at least ~US$1,515 for the top-end Ultra option. Then again, for those who would be content with their 2022 counterparts, they are now available at discounts of up to 38% right now.

Details of the Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23+ camera hardware have now been revealed following the flagship series' debut last week. While the two phones fail to get new main cameras, two of their four snappers do get upgrades, with the most notable seemingly being the selfie camera.

Adobe and Samsung have collaborated to bring Adobe Lightroom to the Galaxy S23 series. Available across the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the collaboration integrations Adobe Lightroom within the Expert RAW app and even allows you to synchronise images to your desktop via cloud storage.

MagSafe may be a technology that Apple markets, but manufacturers can take advantage of it, even before Qi2 wireless charging replaces existing Qi charging. For example, Spigen has made a MagSafe-compatible case for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Samsung's latest premier smartphone.

Samsung has released its Galaxy S23 Ultra and there will be many wondering if the smartphone is worth its US$1,199 price tag, especially when the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max can be had for US$1,099. A popular tech tipster has offered up 10 differences between the two flagships that arguably leave the S23 Ultra looking like a better buy even at the higher price.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market, with Samsung and Qualcomm partnering to deliver a higher-clocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Early benchmarks suggest that the switch from Exynos to Snapdragon in Europe yields twice the GPU performance. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is also able to outperform other Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered handsets in the same benchmark.

Samsung has presented the Galaxy S23 Ultra, a replacement for the Galaxy S22 Ultra with a few upgrades over its predecessor. For one, Samsung no longer offers Exynos chipsets in any variants, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy shipping globally. The Galaxy S23 Ultra also has a new primary camera, which appears to be the ISOCELL HP2.

Samsung has refreshed its flagship smartphone series. From today, the company is accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus, which start at €949/US$799.99 and €1,119 in the Eurozone, respectively. Both models feature the same chipset and cameras, but the Galaxy S23 Plus should have the edge when it comes to battery life.

Qualcomm has made an appearance during Samsung's ongoing major Unpacked event to confirm that the new Galaxy S23 series will ship with an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. It has an increased top clock compared to the version of the same processor found in other new flagship Android smartphones, as well as a relatively "upgraded" version of the latest Adreno GPU.

More live images of the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra have been leaked, with a single day left before the official launch of the 2023 flagships. There are plenty of hands-on S23 Ultra shots in particular, with what appears to be a retail test model confirming the 200 MP main camera and 6.8-inch QHD display.

While the next Galaxy Unpacked event remains scheduled for the first day of February, AT&T has just managed to publish the product page for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 (likely the Plus variant) by accident. The listing revealed green, lavender, cream, and black finish options as well as various technical details, but it was removed in the meantime.

A popular leaker has highlighted seven contestable areas where the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 could be seen as a superior flagship phone to the Apple iPhone 14. While some of the chosen Galaxy S23 specs seem clearly better for the average smartphone user, die-hard iPhone fans will still be able to pick plenty of holes in the selection.

A new leak has shed light on all the features bought forth by One UI 5.1. It brings many quality-of-life upgrades to the Gallery, Camera, Bixby and improves connectivity across the Galaxy ecosystem. The software will debut alongside the Galaxy S23 series on February 1.

While the Galaxy S23 series is expected to debut with both LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, it appears the cheapest option in the lineup will be nerfed in the storage department, perhaps signifying Samsung's plans to focus on 256 GB and upwards storage in the future.

Indian prices for the Galaxy S23 series have been revealed by a new leak. The vanilla Galaxy S23 will start at ₹79,999 (US$981), the Galaxy S23+ at ₹89,999 (US$1,104) and the Galaxy S23 Ultra at ₹114,999 (US$1,410), making them a tad more expensive than last year's models.

The Galaxy Book3 Ultra is expected to showcase Samsung's latest AMOLED display technology, too.

Samsung has yet to formally unveil its first flagship smartphones of 2023 - nevertheless, Corning has just gone ahead and revealed that they will launch as the world's first devices with second-gen Gorilla Glass Victus. Ironically, more first-party cases for the same upcoming handsets have also just leaked out.

A new Samsung Galaxy S23 price leak may bring some relief to those concerned about what price increases may be coming their way – unless they are planning on buying one of the Galaxy S23 models in Turkey.

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.

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.

Samsung is set to reveal the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra next month.

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.

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.
