Update
The S23 Ultra in particular looks set to get more than just a higher-resolution camera than its predecessor, with an added trio of major upgrades over the S22 Ultra expected in a feature by author James Rogerson.
For one thing, how about a powerful new chipset?
That’s where the Samsung fans come in SamMobile Unearthed earlier this month, the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus will come with new primary cameras with the same 50-megapixel resolution as last year’s model. The Galaxy S23 Ultra will ditch its predecessor’s 108MP sensor in favor of a new primary camera that rocks an impressive-sounding 200MP.
Not only that, the new devices capture photos in RAW format at up to 50MP instead of the previous 12MP limit. We’re also hearing about a feature that will help the camera capture hyperlapse video of the sky.
Camera Editor Tim Coleman seems to think we should look beyond that 200MP number for the S23 Ultra’s camera, saying: “it’s more than just a gimmick‘ in his deep dive of the sensor the phone is likely to use.
If one thing has become abundantly clear in the last few weeks of leaks, it’s that the S23-gen cameras aren’t messing around. This official video, posted less than ten days ago by Samsung, highlights the new phones’ low-light shooting abilities.
“Epic Nights Are Coming” might seem a bit ambiguous as a slogan, but we already have an idea as to why <ähem> could be the focus of the Galaxy S23’s camera experience.
An interesting tidbit that has emerged from the rumors is that every Galaxy S23 buyer will have the same color options no matter which Galaxy S model you choose. Whether you choose the entry-level device or spring for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, you can show off Samsung’s unique colors.
We’re expecting some interesting hues accompanied by Samsung’s interesting color branding. A misty lilac or a botanic green could be your go-to hue this season, whether you choose the enigmatic mid-range Galaxy S23 Plus or one of the other new phones.
We’re also expecting accessories to match the new colors, although we’ve yet to hear about new devices like earbuds in this year’s hues.
James Rogerson even offered a detailed summary of all expectations Galaxy S23 colorswhich contains speculative renderings of how each color might look on different models.
Which is your favourite? Personally, I have a love-hate relationship with the Cotton Flower color.
As Samsung fans will already be aware, we are expecting three members of the Galaxy S23 lineup on February 1st: the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The leaked image of dummy units you see above (source: Sonny Dickson) echoes other leaks and rumors about the design direction Samsung is taking with this generation. Each device looks strikingly similar to the Galaxy S22 Ultra in shape.
This year’s S23 Standard and Plus models appear to ditch the Contour Cut camera module of the previous two generations of the Galaxy S phone in favor of something slimmer and sharper.
