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.

According to new reports, Samsung has settled on a date for its next Galaxy Unpacked event, where it is expected to reveal the Galaxy S23 series. Purportedly, the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra will all arrive as February rolls around, leaving just six weeks until the arrival of Samsung's next-generation flagships.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra colors may have been confirmed in a new accessories leak. The leak details the colors and types of numerous Galaxy S23 accessories, including leather cases, smart view wallet cases, and the S Pen input device. The entries for the S Pen also reveal their colors, which should match those of the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

It has been alleged that the Samsung Galaxy S23 series release date could be delayed because of a pricing puzzle. Samsung has to find a middle ground between pleasing its investors and its customers, by pricing the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra at competitive levels without destroying its profit margins.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra specifications have seemingly been posted online by the Chinese TENAA authority. In addition, well over a dozen images have been shared that purport to show dummy units of the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. The designs appear to be as expected, with the S23 Ultra bearing a premium aesthetic.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is expected to come with a state-of-the-art cooling system; however, it is rumored that the same special treatment will not be applied to the Galaxy S23 or Galaxy S23+ smartphones. With news that the S23 series will utilize a tweaked chipset, it will be vital that the cooling systems don’t suffer too much from Samsung’s cost-cutting measures.

The Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro may well be the most high-profile smartphones to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 so far. However, TENAA has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra will all feature the SM8550-AC, an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 offered in other flagship smartphones.

The OPPO Find N2 series is scheduled to debut on December 15. OPPO will debut the Find N2 and Find N2 Flip as direct rivals to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 respectively, and sample shots from the Find N2 Flip appear to indicate camera superiority over its Korean counterpart.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 series has been heavily criticized by a well-known leaker over numerous perceived shortcomings. Included on a list of eight points are comments about the expected RAM amounts, charging speeds, and overall design of the Galaxy S23 phones. The same source claims that there will be a boost in the S23’s video-recording department.

One of the key specifications of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ phones has apparently been confirmed, and it might be seen as something of a baffling choice for some fans. While the Galaxy S23 series will supposedly be treated to upgrades like a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and up to a 200 MP camera sensor, the RAM amount will remain unchanged.

Qualcomm has announced that the Snapdragon Pro Series, a leading e-sports competition for multiple mobile games, will be played exclusively on Samsung Galaxy-series devices in most of its regions worldwide. The new partnership will start with the upcoming Mobile Challenge Finals, a DreamHack Valencia event set about to take place in December 2022.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 are the mainstream options in the foldable market. OPPO challenged Samsung will the Find N last year, though, and is now set to do so again with the OPPO Find N2 and Find N2 Flip, with both foldables tipped to launch shortly.

The FCC has now published documentation for all Samsung Galaxy S23 series models, with the Galaxy S23 Ultra the final piece of the puzzle. With a strange downgrade from the Galaxy S22 Ultra that will affect recharging times, leaker Roland Quandt may have stumbled upon the release date for Samsung's next flagships too.

The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus are expected to mirror the design of their predecessors, albeit with a few Galaxy S22 Ultra-inspired differences. Most improvements for Samsung’s next-generation flagships will be internal though, such as the global adoption of Snapdragon chipsets. Recent FCC certifications have highlighted that larger batteries should be headed to the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus, too.

According to reports from South Korean media, Samsung has settled on a date for the release of the Galaxy S23 series. To be unveiled at another Galaxy Unpacked event, the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra are tipped to make their entrance in San Francisco before embarking on a global release.

The Galaxy Watch5 and Galaxy Watch5 Pro may only be a few months old, but Samsung and Amazon have sought to include all Galaxy Watch5 series models in their Black Friday promotions. Now starting at US$229 for the cheapest Galaxy Watch5 during Black Friday, the Galaxy Watch5 series tops out at US$429.99 for the LTE version of the Galaxy Watch5 Pro.

A new leak sheds some light on the Galaxy S23 Ultra's display specs. It will supposedly have a peak brightness of 2,200 nits, a touch sampling rate of 960 Hz and could be 45% more power efficient than the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Amazon has slashed the price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. The device, which carries an MSRP of US$999 for the 128 GB version and US$1,059 for the 256 GB SKU, can now be had for as low as US$759. The phone was released in August 2022 with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, 8 GB of LPDDR5 memory, and a 3700 mAh battery.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series will get an improved Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC with its Cortex-X3 core clocked at 3.36 GHz and its Adreno 740 GPU at 719 MHz. It could be codenamed SM8550-AC instead of SM8550-AB.

An image of the protective glass for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra flagship smartphone has purportedly been leaked, and it reveals a potential disappointment for fans. There were some expectations that the Galaxy S23 Ultra would sport Qualcomm’s large 3D Sonic Max in-display fingerprint sensor – but cost-cutting measures may have put paid to that.

For the first time in years, it seems European and Global owners of Samsung's next-gen flagship will get the same hardware as markets like North America, with a Samsung Galaxy S23 model now appearing on Geekbench bearing a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and a model number that denotes it as a European model.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone has turned up in a leaked CAD render, seemingly confirming the shape it’s going to take.
