Galaxy S23 Ultra’s most advanced camera, next-level gaming performance, and more eco-conscious design come together in Samsung’s most innovative Galaxy S series yet.
Samsung has launched the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23, marking a new era of premium phone experience for Samsung Galaxy users. The phones boast an epic camera that provides more freedom for creativity, including capturing Nightography videos with AI. The Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform enables premium experiences, including AI, mobile gaming, and fast graphics. The Galaxy S23 Ultra also features an S Pen for added productivity and notetaking. The Galaxy S23 series has a striking design with a commitment to sustainability, using more recycled materials than any other Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
According to TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, the value of technology is not just in its current capabilities, but also in its contribution to a better future. The Galaxy S series is a standard-bearer of trustworthy premium smartphone experiences, combining powerful and lasting innovations with sustainability.
A Samsung Galaxy Camera with More Megapixels and Extensive Creative Controls, From Day to Night
The Galaxy S23 Ultra makes it easier for photographers of all levels to capture exceptional content. It boasts Samsung Galaxy’s most advanced camera system, designed for any lighting conditions and capable of delivering incredible detail. Improved Nightography capabilities revolutionize how the Galaxy S series optimizes photos and videos in various ambient conditions. Users can now capture sharper images and videos in low-light scenarios, with a new AI-powered image signal processing algorithm correcting visual noise and enhancing object details and color tone.
For the first time in a Samsung Galaxy device, the Galaxy S23 Ultra features a 200MP Adaptive Pixel sensor, capturing epic moments with precision. The selfie camera has also been improved, with fast autofocus and a Super HDR camera that supports 60fps for better front-facing images and videos.
The Galaxy S23 series offers a suite of tools for creative control and customization, including the Expert RAW app, available exclusively on Samsung Galaxy. The app enables DSLR-style image shooting and editing in RAW and JPEG without the need for bulky camera equipment. The app allows users to experiment with Multiple exposures or capture clear views of the Milky Way, and now it can be accessed within Samsung’s native Camera app. Additionally, the new zoom capabilities on the Galaxy Watch5 series’ Camera Controller app allow users to frame shots perfectly 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.9
- Recording videos feel more cinematic with enhanced 8K video10 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 feature11 on Galaxy Buds2 Pro creates multi-dimensional sound.
The iconic Samsung Galaxy camera gets an updated look on the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23. The removal of the contour housing marks a new era of essential Galaxy design, making the entire series stand out.
Premium Performance Makes Way for the Future of Mobile Gaming
The desire for creators and gamers to constantly push limits and exceed expectations requires technology that exceeds expectations. Samsung and Qualcomm have optimized the Samsung Galaxy experience with the 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. On the Galaxy S23 Ultra, a 5000mAh battery powers a larger camera than the Galaxy S22 Ultra, while keeping the device size the same.
The CPU micro architecture of the Galaxy S23 series has been improved by 30% compared to the Galaxy S22 series. The highly efficient NPU architecture has been optimized by 49% to balance performance and power while taking epic photos and videos. The GPU of the Galaxy S23 series has been improved by 41% and is designed for power users.
In preparation for the future of ultimate digital realism, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is ready to support real-time ray tracing for mobile gaming. The vapor chamber, now bigger and available on every Galaxy S23 series model, keeps gaming marathons going. All this power supports the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s expansive 6.8-inch edge display with a reduced curvature for the best visual experience. Samsung Galaxy’s Enhanced Comfort feature allows users to adjust color tones and contrast levels to reduce eye strain from screen time at night, and the Vision Booster now adjusts at three levels of lighting to combat brightness and glare in daylight.
Designed with the Planet in Mind
The Galaxy S23 series sets a new standard for high-end technology that enriches people’s lives and benefits the environment. Compared to the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung has increased its use of recycled materials, with 12 internal and external components in the Galaxy S23 Ultra made from pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass and post-consumer recycled plastics from sources like discarded fishing nets, PET bottles, and water barrels.
The S series also introduces Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, a durable material that consists of an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled content. The packaging of every Galaxy S23 smartphone is made with 100% recycled paper, further reducing its environmental impact.
Samsung has taken steps to minimize its impact on the environment while maintaining quality and style, as the Galaxy S23 series is certified by UL ECOLOGO, signifying its reduced environmental impact. To ensure the longevity of the device, the Galaxy S23 series offers four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates, and users can utilize services like Samsung Care for accidental damage, repairs, and more.
User-Friendly Security and Privacy Enable a Transparent Experience without Compromise
The Galaxy S23 series prioritizes security and privacy for its users. With end-to-end protection from Samsung Knox, this smartphone series has received more certifications from government and industry than any other mobile device. The Security and Privacy Dashboard provides users with full control over their data, making it easy to see who has access and how it’s being used. Users can customize their security settings and decide which apps have access to their data.
For added protection, the Knox Vault isolates critical information from the rest of the device and OS, making it less susceptible to vulnerabilities. This feature was first introduced in the Galaxy S21 series and is now available in the Galaxy S23 series.
More Freedom and Flexibility for Connected Lifestyles
The Samsung Galaxy S series provides a premium experience fueled by the cutting-edge innovation of Samsung Galaxy Ultra. With the introduction of the Galaxy Book3 Ultra and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, users can now enjoy a seamless Samsung Galaxy ecosystem.
The S series offers connected experiences with added benefits. Samsung Multi Control, which links mouse and keyboard functionality between Samsung Galaxy PC and tablet, now extends to the Galaxy S23 Ultra, S23+, and S23 for ultimate device flexibility. Improved text usability makes it easy to copy and paste text, such as URLs, from one device to another, allowing for seamless switching between devices. On the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Google Meet, combined with Samsung Notes and the built-in S Pen, enhances video call collaboration. With Google Meet’s live sharing, participants can edit a document together in real-time from their Android devices, rather than just viewing a shared screen.
