Samsung Galaxy S23 series: specifications
Not only are the chipsets used by Samsung’s hardware leaked, but their other specifications may also have been revealed soon.
Firstly, in terms of digital storage space, we will probably see every Samsung Galaxy S23 model will give up their smallest 128GB variant; that means you can only buy a model with 256GB minimum. If these new smallest models apply the same price as the respective 128GB Galaxy S22 we wouldn’t complain, but if the change means Samsung’s base models are more expensive than before, we’d be disappointed. hope.
That said, those pursuing a budget option may be out of luck; another rumor has suggested frequently Galaxy S23 will keep the 128GB versionso we’ll have to see which leak is right.
Another storage note is that some versions of the phone may be exclusive to the Samsung store. This includes several colors but also the rumored 1TB storage / 12GB RAM model of the Samsung Galaxy S23.
Talking about RAM; The Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus are expected to have only 8GB, while the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is rumored to offer only 8GB RAM in the 256GB memory model, but the 512GB and 1TB memory model will offer 12GB RAM.

If the leaks are accurate, then Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series could be the company’s best performing smartphone.
A big part of that will go to Snapdragon 8 2nd Generation”a chipset that Samsung has not yet admitted to using but leaks and comments from Qualcomm itself suggests that this is really what the S23 mobile phone will be based on.
Leakage Galaxy S23 . benchmark suggests that the Galaxy S23 (and its Plus and Ultra models) will be the fastest Android phone on the market, with scores bringing the device close to the Apple A16 chip used in iPhone 14 Pro.
These statements are supported by another source says that all three S23 models will have a 36% increase in processing speed, a 48% increase in graphics performance and a 60% increase in neural processing compared to Samsung’s S22 phone.

Given the number of leaks we’ve been digesting over the past few weeks, we’re pretty confident about what we expect to be announced at this year’s Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event – but the company’s new Galaxy S23 phone How much it will cost is still a matter of debate.
Based on recent rumors, we assume the price of the Galaxy S23 will be unchanged from their S22 counterparts in the US (i.e. $799.99, $999.99 and $1,199.99), but less promising news for European customerswho could face price increases of up to €300 (this would mark the biggest generational increase in Galaxy history!).
One leaker even suggested that the Galaxy S23 price in Turkey would be the equivalent of around $2,660 / £2,145 / AU$3,740 – possibly enough to buy you two new phones from the company in the US and UK. . Here’s hoping Samsung doesn’t change prices too drastically globally…

For one, we don’t know for sure how much it will cost yet.

However, earlier this week we heard Galaxy S23 price rumors may increase in some countries – and significantly so. That is not the case.

There have been a lot of rumors going around, but what exactly are we expecting from Unpacked? The main news will be the S23 series, but here’s an overview of everything that is likely to happen on the road.
SamsungGalaxy S23: The S23 looks like a relatively minor upgrade on the SamsungGalaxy S22, with the same 6.1-inch FHD+ display, the same 120Hz refresh rate, and the same rear camera setup.

Elsewhere, a 6.8-inch QHD+ display, up to 12GB of RAM, up to 1TB of storage, and a 5,000mAh battery should give it specs to compete with. best phone.
