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.

While Samsung has recently tried to keep a lid on information flow before release, most details of the Galaxy S23 series have somehow still managed to leak over the past week. The latest, however, reveals more than ever before—showcasing the Galaxy S23 Ultra in the flesh for the first time.

The source, seemingly, a retail store in Nicaragua, has shared live images of the Galaxy S23 Ultra ahead of its February 1 debut at Unpacked. There's not much new on show, however, but the massive leak confirms the four color options of the upcoming flagship: Phantom Black, Green, Cream, and Lavender. The phones are on display at the retail store, and look to be up for sale already as well. Also verified via the camera app are 8K@30FPS video recording and, of course, a 200 MP photo mode.

In addition, the same store has also shared images of the Galaxy S23+'s boxes. Seeing as they shared hands-on videos of the S23 Ultra, it's likely the S23+ gets a similar treatment soon. Relevant images and videos can be found below, and we'll be sure to keep you updated.
