We’re pretty sure we’ll see an S23 model, a step-up S23 Plus with a larger screen, and a top-of-the-line S23 Ultra. It’s the Ultra that packs in.

Galaxy S23 price

Assuming Samsung launches multiple models, the S23 series will have three main prices. We don’t expect Samsung to deviate much from last year’s prices.

Cameras are likely to be one of the key focal points of the new series. on January 17th blog postsaid TM Roh, Head of Mobile Experience Business at Samsung. hinted at camera improvements what we can expect.

But his recent Qualcomm Financial results announcement suggested that Samsung will indeed use Qualcomm silicon for all phones in the range.

As for other specs, a minimum of 8 GB of RAM is expected for the base model, with 12 GB available on the S23 Ultra. Storage will likely continue to start at 128 GB, with larger options available at higher prices. No, we don’t expect the microSD card slot to return and expand storage. Sad face.
