By February 2023, Samsung hopes to have distributed One UI 5 to at least 49 smartphones and tablets across its product range. Based on Android 13, One UI 5 will reach the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra this month before heading to other current and previous flagships next month, including the Galaxy Tab S8 series.

Samsung's official US webstore is holding a multi-day event during which a consumer can buy a new Galaxy S22-series device with 256GB of internal storage for the price of a 128GB base model. There are also deals on the new top-end Galaxy Z Fold4, as well as potentially improved trade-in offers.

Samsung Italy has confirmed that Galaxy S22, Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4 will get the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update on October 24. It is 2.8 GB in size and includes the October 2022 Android security patch.

It seems the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will offer better moon shots than ever according to some new details that have been shared about the expected camera equipment. It is believed the Galaxy S23 Ultra will sport an ISOCELL HP2 sensor that has been specially optimized to produce stellar night photography that could eclipse the S22 Ultra’s nightography capability.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has finally made its Geekbench debut. Its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC scores 1,521 and 4,696 in the benchmark. The smartphone is running Android 13 and features 8 GB of system memory.

Samsung is said to have started developing a competitor to the Oura Ring series. Dubbed the Galaxy Ring, the device has already reached the USPTO, which reveals a few details about its application.

According to a renowned leaker, Samsung has settled on a revised design for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, its next premier smartphone. Instead of Samsung moving towards symmetrical display bezels for its Ultra smartphone, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will look like the spitting image of the current Galaxy S22 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will supposedly make potential purchases of the Galaxy S22 Ultra “worthless” according to a noted leaker for one particular reason. Along with that statement, the same source has apparently confirmed the charging support and weight of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which could be released in February 2023.

The Galaxy S23 series appears to have made its first trip over to Geekbench, revealing early performance numbers and details of what could be Qualcomm's next-gen flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

A new supposed Samsung Galaxy S23 protective case leak has left fans with divided opinions, especially over the corner design of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. There are cases for each model in the series, including one incorrectly labelled “Galaxy S23 Pro”, which is for the Galaxy S23+. The series should be released in early 2023.

Samsung appears to be days away from releasing the first One UI 5 public builds, with the company confirming their arrival for later this month. In the meantime, the company has highlighted many of the major changes that it has integrated within its latest OS update, equivalents of which can already be experienced in rival experiences like iOS 16.

Apple and Samsung will soon push out OTA updates to enable 5G reception for respective devices in India. Indian telcos Airtel and Jio have started 5G trials in select telecom circles in the country with wider coverage expected in the coming months. Samsung is expected to rollout 5G compatibility updates in mid-November while Apple users will have to wait till December 2022.

Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy S22 Ultra owners should soon expect to receive One UI 5.0. While Samsung has already confirmed some of the features in its upcoming OS update, the company has now revealed that public builds will be available later this month.

It seems that Samsung has finalised the battery capacity of next year's Galaxy S23 Ultra. According to a new leak, Samsung has already certified the device's 5,000 mAh battery in India, one of many markets in which the Galaxy S23 Ultra is expected to be available from early next year.

As we move closer to the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23, the hardware profile of the device is becoming ever clearer. Famed Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station has now revealed on Weibo that the Galaxy S23 battery would be bigger than the Galaxy S22 while remaining largely the same size.

According to new reports, Samsung is not making as many subtle changes to the Galaxy S23 Ultra as previous leaks suggested would be the case. Instead, a renowned leaker believes that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will look practically identical.

Samsung has released One UI 5 Beta 4 to the Galaxy S22 series. Available as a 1.5 GB download in the US, the latest One UI 5 beta build focuses on bug fixes while removing the multi-user feature that earlier One UI 5 Betas contained.

According to a renowned smartphone analyst, Samsung has decided to offer next year's Galaxy S23 series in four colours, mirroring this year's Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra. Naming all four colours, it seems that Samsung has made some adjustments to the colours in which it currently sells its flagship smartphones.

A report from The Elec states that Samsung has no plans to launch the Galaxy Tab S9 series anytime soon. Development of the high-end Android tablets has been delayed due to "global economic uncertainty".

A new camera test published earlier today doesn't test the actual photographic chops of the most high-profile flagship phones on the market. Instead, it focuses on shutter lag—an important camera quality, especially for those who photograph dynamic subjects like pets.

Some new information about the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23's cameras has emerged online. They will feature the same 12 MP ultra-wide-angle and 10 MP telephoto lens from the previous generation but upgrade the selfie camera module to a 12 MP sensor.

Initial camera details for the Galaxy A54 have leaked, signalling a change from its predecessors. While Samsung has persisted with the same 64 MP sensor for three generations, the Galaxy A54 is rumoured to be moving onto pastures new, among other changes.

Samsung is said to have upgraded its entire S series of Android smartphones (rather than just its Ultra variant as usual) in terms of looks for its upcoming 2023 generation. Now, a famous leaker claims to have dug up images of "protective cases" made to fit one of these devices. Its rear camera cut-outs suggest that the vanilla flagship has indeed made a departure from its S22 forebear.

Previously available for Samsung's more recent flagships like the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and the Galaxy Z Fold 4, the Expert RAW photography app is now gaining full support for more devices. The trio that joins the list consists of Galaxy S20 Ultra, Note 20 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Fold 2.

The Galaxy A14 4G might be one of the cheapest Android smartphones Samsung launches in 2023; however, new renders give it a rear camera hump not hugely unlike that linked to its putative flagship S23 counterparts. The putative budget model is also now thought to debut with a display bigger than that of its A13 predecessor, flattened edges and a 3.5mm jack.

According to a renowned leaker, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will have a thinner chin than its predecessor. While not quite even bezels, the changes have led @UniverseIce to declare that the Galaxy S23 Ultra could be Samsung's sharpest smartphone design to date.

New renders of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra have emerged online. Some of its design changes include two recessed camera modules, thinner bezels and non-curved chassis.

New information about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 FE has emerged via a Geekbench listing. It will run a MediaTek Kompanio 900T chipset, 4 GB of RAM and Android 13 out of the box.

It seems that Samsung is shaking up the design of its flagship smartphone series. According to the renowned OnLeaks, the Galaxy S23 Plus has taken a leaf out of the Galaxy S22 Ultra's book. Not only has the leaker shared high-resolution renders, but he has also shared a 360-degree video of next year's flagship smartphone.

New renders of the Samsung Galaxy S23 have emerged online. The phone takes a page out of the Galaxy S22 Ultra's playbook and houses each camera sensor individually. Everything else about its design is largely identical to that of its predecessor.

YouTuber Arun Maini aka MrWhoseTheBoss discovered that several of his Samsung phones had their batteries bloated. Other creators such as MKBHD and JerryRigEverything also reported similar problems with their old Samsung devices.

Smartphone OEMs might be pivoting towards under-display camera (UDC) tech to free their future devices from punch-holes, notches or sensor bars of all kinds. Now, Samsung has taken this potential trend particularly far by patenting a screen with dual UDCs. The South Korean giant apparently intends them for use in improved user authentication.

An appearance by a likely Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra test unit on the 3C certification website has revealed a charging capability that has been met with a mixed response from fans. It seems Samsung wants to continue playing it safe with the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra, by not following lightning-fast-charging trends in the Android smartphone space.

New Samsung Galaxy S23 series rumors have suggested that the battery capacities for the upcoming three premium smartphones may not be what fans had hoped for. Apparently, the figure has been confirmed for the Galaxy S23+ model, while the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Ultra battery capacities will only be slightly larger than their S22 counterparts.

An informal poll has revealed that potentially thousands of Samsung fans are considering a switch to Apple. Some of the main reasons for switching include the overall positive impression of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the novelty of the Dynamic Island notch, and concerns that the Galaxy S23 Ultra and S23 series in general will not be much of an upgrade.

Samsung has released Android 12L to the Galaxy Z Fold2. Rolling out as One UI 4.1.1, the update arrives as F916BXXU2HVHA. Not only does One UI 4.1.1 contain a taskbar, but it also features a revised notification shade and a two-column layout in apps that are Android 12L-optimised.

According to new reports, the Galaxy S23 could be somewhat of a disappointment for fans of ever-shrinking bezels. While many Android OEMs continue their gradual moves towards releasing a smartphone with no display bezels whatsoever, a reliable leaker claims the opposite will be true with the Galaxy S23, which may look a bit chunkier than the current Galaxy S22.

According to a new leak, mid-range smartphones next year will make the switch from FHD+ to 1.5K displays, with a resultant display pixel density in the 450 ppi range. Samsung, on the other hand, looks geared to equip the Galaxy S23 and S23+ with FHD+ screens once more, with the S22+ currently offering a miserly 393 ppi.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series will be very much like the Galaxy S22 series in terms of dimensions and display specifications according to a well-known leaker. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s alleged measurements have already been shared, and it appears the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ will also be similarly uninspiring in this area, at least.

Samsung has started rolling out One UI Watch 4.5 to the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic, its flagship smartwatches, until the Galaxy Watch5 series arrived last month. Not only has Samsung upgraded the Galaxy Watch4 series to One UI Watch 4.5, it has also brought the pair onto the August 2022 set of security patches.

According to word on the grapevine, Vivo will bring a new foldable phone to the market shortly. This device, the Vivo X Fold S or Vivo X Fold Plus, will compete directly with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 in the Chinese market and new leaks have now revealed most details of the premium foldable ahead of its launch.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has starred in a new unofficial fan-made concept video and in some concept renderings dressed in a Galaxy Z Fold4 beige. The S23 Ultra in this clip has been created with the latest leaks and rumors in mind, which means it has a flatter display than the S22 Ultra with a more angular – and attractive – look to it.

YouTuber Zack Nelson has put the Galaxy Z Fold4 through an even tougher set of tests than most other smartphones on his JerryRigEverything channel. Not only does the smartphone have to deal with his usual attempts to bend and burn the device, but it also gets subjected to having dirt mashed against its surfaces and hinges. Surprisingly, the Galaxy Z Fold4 withstands all attempts to damage it.

The expected Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra’s design has been compared with that of the S22 Ultra, with a leaker utilizing power banks to give a visual representation of how the S23 Ultra will look. Ironically, this rather small design difference has been pointed out just as Samsung has been busy mocking Apple’s slow innovation process in a new Galaxy S22 Ultra and Z Flip4 promo video.

Samsung has confirmed today that a bunch of new camera upgrades are arriving on the Galaxy S22 devices with a new software update. The update brings with it enhanced QR code scanning as well as image quality improvements, including better night mode photos.

The Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra’s expected designs have been on a leaker’s mind recently, with Ice universe wanting to remind his thousands of followers what Samsung is planning. While the Galaxy S23 and S23+ are more of the same with an upgraded SoC, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is due to lose some curve.

Samsung partnered with AMD to revolutionize mobile graphics with the launch of the Exynos 2200 and its Xclipse 920 GPU based on AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture. However, things didn’t go as planned with the Xclipse 920 failing to compete favorably with Qualcomm and Apple’s solutions. But, even with this setback, Samsung is not done with RDNA-based GPUs as the company is continuing its collaboration with AMD.

According to new reports, Samsung has settled on the camera design for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, next year's replacement for the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Reputedly due in January 2023, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is also expected to launch with a tweaked chassis that has less pronounced curves than its predecessor.

Ready to download via the Google Play Store and Samsung Galaxy Store, Samsung Internet 19.0 Beta uses AI to detect and stop trackers, as well as to take care of phishing attempts.
