The Samsung Galaxy S23 series – including the vanilla Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra – was unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event. The latest flagship smartphones are powered by a customized Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and feature dynamic AMOLED 2X displays. The Galaxy S23 family is the first series of smartphones with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ have identical triple rear camera setups, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the most expensive model in the range, has a superior one 200 megapixel quad rear camera system.
Samsung has now confirmed this in a blog post (above 9to5Google) that the Galaxy S23 uses a new breed of AMOLED display to save battery life. The Galaxy S23 models have a lot in common with their predecessors, including display sizes. However, each phone’s panel has been modified, with Samsung Display introducing a new “low-power OLED technology” that saves power and increases brightness. This boosts the brightness of the base Galaxy S23 from around 1,300 nits on the base to 1,750 nits Galaxy S22.
According to Samsung, the new display panel will be used in the display Samsung Galaxy S23, Samsung Galaxy S23+and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra minimizes power consumption by 13-16 percent. This will undoubtedly have an impact, as the display is one of the most power-hungry components of smartphone devices.
“The display of the Galaxy S23 series has been equipped with energy-saving OLED technology, which has increased the light output through the use of new organic materials. Samsung’s new technology uses organic materials to reduce power consumption and increase brightness. The new organic material is improved in such a way that electrons can move faster and more easily in the organic layer, and by increasing the luminous efficiency, the power consumption is reduced by more than 13 to 16 percent compared to the predecessor from Samsung’s description of the new display.
Display reviewer Dylan Raga (@dylan_raga) explained further on Twitter that the new display emits more green light while adjusting the wavelength of the red emitters. These factors combine to provide significantly better efficiency on the display panel, with results comparable to those iPhone 14 pro max while using significantly less power compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max at 1,150 nits.
