Samsung finally launches three new flagships for this year with the new Galaxy S23 series. The new Galaxy S23 series includes three new devices with Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ & Galaxy S23 Ultra. This year all three devices look identical to each other with hardly any changes.
Samsung Galaxy S23 & Galaxy S23+:
Design:
The Galaxy S23 Ultra has a boxier, Galaxy Note-like design, while both models have a more rounded design. S23 and S23+ will share several specs but will differ primarily in terms of screen size, storage capacity, battery capacity, and charging speed.
This time both the new Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S23+ will look identical to each other. With the same old center punch-hole display on the front of both devices. Sadly next year too will not have an under-display camera feature. The difference we found is that Galaxy S23 has got slightly thicker bezels when compared with Galaxy S23+.
On the back, we have got the Galaxy S22 Ultra-styled triple rear camera aligned vertically without any module. The three sensors protrude out of the body and the LED flash is placed on the top-right of the first sensor.
The power button with volume rockers is on the right. On the bottom, we got the speaker mesh and a USB Type-C port. The Galaxy S23 & Galaxy S23+ measure 7.6mm thick & weighs 167g & 195g respectively. Both of them arrive in four colors Black, Cotton, Green, and Violet colors.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra:
Design:
Just looking at these renders, it’s almost impossible to tell that this isn’t the S22 Ultra. Yet, it isn’t. Three of the camera circle ‘islands’ on the S23 Ultra appear to protrude more than the other two. In addition, the front looks flatter, so the radius of the curves has been further tightened; the Ultra was already boxy, but now it’s even more so.
This time Samsung has also added the S-Pen slot on the bottom of the device similar to the Note series. The new Galaxy S22 Ultra features a curved bezel-less center punch-hole display on the front. There are slightly thick bezels protecting the display on the top as well as the bottom.
The power button along with the volume rockers is placed on the right. The Galaxy S22 Ultra might come with a metal & glass design giving it a premium touch. It weighs over 233g & measures 8.9mm thick. It comes in four colors Black, Violet, Green, or Cream colors.
Specs:
The device sports 6.8 inches QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X LTPO 2.0 curved display with the same 1750nits of brightness. The device also comes with the latest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on top. The new Galaxy S23 Ultra will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC coupled with lower 8GB/12GB RAM and 256GB/512GB storage.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with a 200MP HP2 main sensor coupled with OIS and SuperClear Lens tech. Using the new lens should reduce glare and reflections, while also improving the resolution of the sensor. There is a 12MP f/2.2 aperture ultra-wide sensor with Dual Pixel AF along with a dual 10MP telephoto lens with f/2.4 & f/4.9 aperture, OIS, 3x & 10x optical zoom.
