Samsung announced the Galaxy S23 Ultra, S23+, and S23 today, ushering in a new age of Samsung Galaxy’s ultimate premium phone experience. The amazing camera on the Samsung Galaxy allows users to be more creative, such as shooting genuinely cinematic Nightography films with transformational AI. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for the Galaxy S23 series unlocks premium experiences such as pioneering artificial intelligence, future-ready mobile gaming features, and impressively sustained game play with the fastest mobile visuals.
“The value of impactful technology is measured, not just by what it enables for people today, but also how it contributes to a better future,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “The entire Galaxy S23 series is the new standard-bearer of trustworthy premium smartphone experiences. We’re on a mission to redefine peak performance by bringing together powerful, lasting innovations and sustainability.”
New Camera enhancements
The Galaxy S23 Ultra makes it easy for photographers of all skill levels to produce stunning footage. It has Samsung Galaxy’s most sophisticated camera technology, which is designed to display stunning detail in practically every lighting scenario. Improved Nightography features revolutionise how the Galaxy S series optimises images and movies in a variety of lighting settings. A new AI-powered image signal processing (ISP) technique that improves object features and colour tone corrects visual noise that typically spoils low-light photographs.
A 200MP Camera for Galaxy S23 Ultra
The new 200MP Adaptive Pixel sensor in the Galaxy S23 Ultra captures spectacular moments with remarkable precision. To handle many layers of high-resolution processing at the same time, it employs pixel binning. And, because selfie cameras are more crucial than ever in how we interact today, the Galaxy S23 series includes rapid focusing and our first Super HDR selfie camera, with a frame rate increase from 30fps to 60fps for considerably superior front-facing photographs and movies.
Camera Controls with more customisations
The Expert RAW software, which is only accessible for Samsung Galaxy, allows DSLR-style image shooting and editing in RAW and JPEG – no heavy camera equipment is necessary. Users may play with Multiple Exposure picture art or record a clear image of the Milky Way with Astrophoto settings, and now, after being downloaded on the Galaxy S23, Expert RAW capabilities can be accessible from Samsung’s native Camera app. Meanwhile, the enhanced zoom capabilities on the Galaxy Watch5 series’ Camera Controller software allow users to shoot a properly framed photo directly from their wrist.
Additional camera advancements include:
- Low-light or in situations that would normally create a blur, videos are stable with doubled optical image stabilizer (OIS) angles in all directions on Galaxy S23 Ultra.
- Recording videos feel more cinematic with enhanced 8K video at 30 frames per second with a wider angle.
- Advanced, object-based AI analyzes each detail in the frame, even down to minute facial features, such as hair and eyes, to carefully reflect a person’s dynamic characteristics.
- For an even more enhanced video experience, the new 360 Audio Recording feature on Galaxy Buds2 Pro creates multi-dimensional sound.

Performance with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
With the brand-new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the most powerful and efficient platform ever in a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and the fastest Snapdragon available today, Samsung and Qualcomm maximised the Samsung Galaxy experience.
A newly developed CPU microarchitecture improves the processing capability of the Galaxy S23 series by about 30% over the Galaxy S22 series. Capturing amazing images in low light necessitates billions of computations per second, thus Samsung Galaxy’s extremely efficient NPU architecture has been 49 percent improved to balance performance and power while leveraging an AI algorithm to assist users in taking spectacular photos and movies. The improved GPU, which is about 41 percent quicker than the Galaxy 22 series and supports real-time Ray Tracing, is one of the main upgrades to the Galaxy S23 series.
All of this power powers the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s big 6.8-inch edge display, which has a decreased curvature for a wider and flatter surface area for the greatest visual experience on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. The unique Enhanced comfort function on the Samsung Galaxy lets users to change colour tones and contrast levels, reducing eye strain from screen use at night. To fight brightness and glare in daytime, Vision Booster now adapts at three levels of illumination rather than two.
Designed with the Sustainability in mind
The Galaxy S23 series sets a new standard for premium technology that may improve people’s lives while also contributing to a healthier world. Samsung Galaxy has increased its usage of recycled materials from the Galaxy S22 series, from six internal components in the Galaxy S22 Ultra to 12 internal and exterior components in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The Galaxy S23 series also includes the most recyclable materials of any Galaxy smartphone, including pre-consumer recycled aluminium and glass, as well as post-consumer recycled plastics collected from discarded fishing nets, PET bottles, and water barrels.
The new S series is the first to incorporate Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which offers long-term durability and an average of 22 percent pre-consumer recycled material. Furthermore, each Galaxy S23 smartphone comes in a revised packing box comprised of 100 percent recycled paper.
With the Galaxy S23 series, Samsung Galaxy is doing more to reduce its environmental effect while maintaining quality and appearance. The Galaxy S23 series is UL ECOLOGO certified, which means it has been approved for low environmental effect.
The premium experience of the Galaxy S23 series may be maintained over time with four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates. Users may also take advantage of services like Samsung Care+, which provides help for accidental damages, repairs, and other issues.
Flexibility for Connected Lifestyles & Secured
The uncompromising innovation of the Samsung Galaxy Ultra lies at the heart of the premium experience offered by the Samsung Galaxy S series. However, the strength and creative potential of the Samsung Galaxy Ultra do not end at smartphones. Users may now enjoy the ultimate Samsung Galaxy ecosystem with the brand new, first-ever Galaxy Book3 Ultra and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.
Every Galaxy S series device has new features for connected experiences. Samsung Multi Control, which integrates mouse and keyboard capability between a Samsung Galaxy PC and tablet, is now available on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 for maximum device versatility. Furthermore, improved text usability makes it simple to copy and paste text, such as URLs, from one device to another in order to resume an activity on another device. Google Meet, along with Samsung Notes and the inbuilt S Pen on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, makes video chats even more collaborative. Instead of seeing a shared screen, members may concurrently co-edit a document from each of their Android devices using Google Meet live sharing.
Knox Vault, which was initially launched on the Galaxy S21 series, safeguards sensitive information on the Galaxy S23 series by separating it from the rest of the device, including the OS, for greater vulnerability protection.
