These renders and claims come from @OnLeaks, who has a wonderful monitor document, so there is a good probability they’re correct.

Picture 1 of two

As for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely, a supply has steered this might need a display that curves in any respect 4 sides, somewhat than simply two sides, however they don’t sound in any respect certain of this.

In reality, not a lot is perhaps altering on the Galaxy S23 Extremely in any respect, with this supply extra not too long ago saying that it’ll have dimensions of 163.Four x 78.1 x 8.9mm, that are virtually equivalent to these of the S22 Extremely. In addition they say that similar to its predecessor it can have a 6.8-inch 1440 x 3088 display.

This declare of little altering is wanting seemingly, as unofficial renders – one in all which you’ll be able to see beneath – present a close to equivalent design to the Galaxy S22 Extremely; with all the above strengthened by supposed leaked third-party circumstances for everything of the S23 vary, sourced by well-liked leaker, IceUniverse (opens in new tab).

The primary modifications are the size, which in keeping with this supply are ever so barely completely different at 163.Four x 78.1 x 8.8mm, together with a much less curvy design. The 2 smallest rear digicam sensors can also sit flush with the again of the cellphone this time, and the steel lens surrounds is perhaps barely bigger.

The supply additionally claims that the display will see some enhancements, equivalent to higher HDR, the next peak brightness and improved colour accuracy, however that it’ll as soon as once more be 6.Eight inches.

We have additionally heard a prediction that the Galaxy S23 is simply going to be out there in beige, black, inexperienced and light-weight pink – that is one thing of a shift from the Galaxy S22, which was out there in additional hues.

The Galaxy S23 may additionally keep on with a 6.1-inch 1080p display, similar to its predecessor, in keeping with one supply – with a second supply now backing that up.

Samsung Galaxy S23 digicam and battery

We’re already listening to loads concerning the cameras, together with that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely might need a 200MP digicam. There’s a good probability that is true, because the declare comes from a leaker with a superb monitor document, and Samsung has already unveiled a 200MP digicam. We have additionally extra not too long ago heard a second time {that a} 200MP sensor is deliberate and now a 3rd time, so this appears very seemingly.

One other digicam leak means that the selfie snapper would possibly hit a 12MP decision, up from 10MP within the S22, which might be a average however appreciated improve. Nonetheless, one other leak means that we can’t get an under-display digicam on the Galaxy S23.

Additionally on the digicam entrance we have heard that the Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus might need the identical 10MP telephoto digicam as their S22 predecessors. Equally, the Galaxy S23 Extremely may additionally have the identical periscope digicam because the S22 Extremely.

The ultra-wide cameras on all three fashions is perhaps the identical 12MP one we have seen for years now as nicely.

A full specs leak for the usual S23 additionally factors to all of the digicam being the identical as on the S22.

Away from the digicam, a supply has steered that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely might need a 5,000mAh battery. That is one thing we have heard twice now, with the second supply including that the Galaxy S23 Plus will get a 4,700mAh battery – up from 4,500mAh on the S22 Plus.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 may equally get a 200mAh battery increase, taking it to three,900mAh. The supply of this declare additionally says it can cost slowly, and whereas they do not get particular, we have elsewhere heard that it’d keep on with 25W charging, like its predecessor. Since then one other supply has additionally pointed to a 3,900mAh battery and 25W charging, so this appears seemingly.

Samsung Galaxy S23 specs and options

A report has made the odd declare that Samsung would possibly use a MediaTek chipset within the Samsung Galaxy S23 vary, not less than in some elements of the world. This could be a giant change, as in earlier fashions the corporate had at all times used Snapdragon or Exynos chips – often utilizing each, with completely different areas getting completely different makes.

Nonetheless, two different sources have since steered {that a} transfer to MediaTek in all probability is not on the playing cards, so for now we might say it appears unlikely.

Since then, one other leak has steered that Samsung will use Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets all over the place, somewhat than some areas utilizing Exynos. That is apparently so the corporate can focus its chipset making sources on growing a brand new customized chipset to be used in a future Galaxy S mannequin.

That prediction has been backed up by among the best analysts within the cellphone enterprise, and since then Qualcomm itself has steered that the S23 line will use its chipsets globally (although with wording that leaves some wiggle room), so it is wanting fairly seemingly that the Galaxy S23 goes to go all in with the Snapdragon Eight Gen 2 processor.

Certainly, a supply has now particularly pointed to the Snapdragon Eight Gen 2 getting used.

Definitely, that is a chipset we might count on for use in not less than some areas, and a Geekbench benchmark for a US mannequin of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely lists it – together with simply 8GB of RAM.

Yogesh Brar – a leaker with an affordable monitor document – has additionally pointed to the Snapdragon Eight Gen 2 being utilized in the usual Galaxy S23, alongside once more with 8GB of RAM, and a selection of both 128GB or 256GB of storage.

What we need to see

Whereas we look ahead to extra Samsung Galaxy S23 information and rumors, listed here are some issues that we actually need to see from it.

1. Larger batteries

The Samsung Galaxy S22 is lumbered with only a 3,700mAh battery, which even given its comparatively compact 6.1-inch display isn’t notably massive. The Galaxy S22 Plus and S22 Extremely fare higher at 4,500mAh and 5,000mAh respectively, however even these sizes are unremarkable.

So, for the Samsung Galaxy S23 vary we need to see each mannequin have an even bigger battery, however particularly the usual handset. Battery life is one factor that isn’t actually bettering as telephones get higher, however we’d actually prefer it to.

2. Snapdragon for all

Samsung gives completely different chipsets in its Galaxy S flagships for various elements of the world and that’s not splendid, because the chipsets are by no means equal and that may have impacts not simply on pure energy but in addition on battery life and digicam capabilities. The upshot being that the identical cellphone may be fairly completely different relying on what nation you purchase it in.

Except for that being complicated – and that means that critiques could not replicate the system you’ll be getting – it’s additionally the case that inevitably one chipset is worse, and it’s often Samsung’s Exynos ones that carry out extra poorly.

So for the Samsung Galaxy S23 vary we wish Samsung to desert Exynos and simply stick the subsequent Snapdragon in all of them. This virtually definitely received’t occur, however it could make for a globally constant expertise on its telephones.

3. Extra modifications to the usual and Plus fashions

The Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus are in most methods very related telephones to their predecessors. They’ve new chipsets and a few digicam modifications, however the design and a number of the different specs are related.

So for the Samsung Galaxy S23 vary we wish extra radical modifications – extra like what we noticed the Samsung Galaxy S22 Extremely undergo. That would imply a brand new design or new options, however briefly, we wish them to really feel new.

4. Slicker software program

We famous in our Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus evaluate that the cellphone’s software program doesn’t really feel fairly as quick as some rival interfaces equivalent to these from OnePlus or Xiaomi, and positively not as quick as inventory Android.

Whereas Samsung’s One UI is hardly sluggish, it could possibly really feel ever so barely sluggish at occasions, which is the very last thing you need with a premium cellphone. So we’d like the corporate to work on bettering this for the model of its software program that the Galaxy S23 vary runs.

5. New cameras for the Extremely

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Extremely undeniably has nice cameras, however they’re additionally virtually equivalent to the cameras on the Samsung Galaxy S21 Extremely, so we actually need to see some vital modifications for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely.

Early S22 Extremely rumors talked about steady optical zoom – permitting the cellphone to optically zoom at any stage between 1x and 10x. We didn’t get that ultimately, with the cellphone sticking with 3x and 10x choices, however that might definitely assist combine issues up, as may the rumored 200MP sensor. So that is one want that we’d nicely get.
