Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23, marking a new era of Samsung Galaxy’s ultimate premium phone experience. In the latest devices, the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer improves the cameras, battery life and design to attract tech-savvy customers. From February 17, all three phones will be available at telecoms companies and retailers, and on the company’s website. Customers can place pre-orders from Wednesday.
Announced alongside a range of new Galaxy Book 3 Windows laptops on Wednesday, the Galaxy S23 Ultra superphone leads the line equipped with new camera technology and a stylus. It is joined by the smaller S23 and S23+, all of which use the top Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip from Qualcomm in metal and glass designs with fast and bright screens. The phones run Android 13 with five years of support and are made of more of recycled materials than before, including 22% recycled glass in the new Gorilla Glass Victus 2 screens and backs that promise greater durability against drops.
Galaxy S23 Ultra
The S23 Ultra has a 6.8in screen with curved sides and is the most expensive non-folding Samsung phone of the year. It has a large battery and built-in S Pen stylus for advanced productivity features. The quad-camera system on the back includes two zoom lenses and one of the first of a new generation of huge 200MP main cameras, offering significantly better low-light performance, faster focusing and other tricks, which is expected to prove popular.
Galaxy S23 and S23+
The S23 and S23+ have smaller 6.1in and 6.6in displays respectively. They have a simplified design with an upgraded triple camera system on the rear, featuring a 50MP main camera with astrophotography mode. Larger batteries hope to keep up better. The contour housing has been removed, marking a new era of essential Galaxy design that makes the entire series stand out.
A newly designed CPU micro architecture boosts the processing abilities of the Galaxy S23 series by about 30 percent compared to the Galaxy S22 series. Capturing stunning photos in low light requires trillions of calculations per second, so Samsung Galaxy’s highly efficient NPU architecture has been optimized by 49 percent to balance performance and power while using an AI algorithm to help users take epic photos and videos. One of the most significant improvements to the Galaxy S23 series is the optimized GPU, which is approximately 41 percent faster compared to Galaxy 22 series and designed especially for power users(12).
Buyers can purchase the base model of S23 as low as Dh3,199 while S23+ and S23 Ultra prices will start from Dh3,899 and Dh6,449, respectively, according to the pre-order prices on the official website
