For months now we’ve been listening to that the primary – and maybe solely – digicam improve on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely can be a brand new 200MP major sensor, however a leak now means that we’d see enhancements to 2 of the opposite rear lenses, as effectively.

Seemingly official leather-based circumstances for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely are being offered on the German eBay web site (opens in new tab) – as noticed by leaker SnoopyTech (opens in new tab) – and at first look they seem like they might match a Samsung Galaxy S22 Extremely.

However @UniverseIce (opens in new tab) – one other leaker – has posted a picture of one in all these aspect by aspect with the equal case for the Galaxy S22 Extremely, and there are some clear variations.

In addition to the facility and quantity buttons being barely decrease on the brand new circumstances, the three largest digicam lens cut-outs are larger than on the case for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Extremely.

Assuming the cameras are organized in the identical manner on the S23 Extremely, which means the primary lens, the ultra-wide and the periscope lens may all be larger this yr.

Within the case of the primary digicam, that’s no shock, since experiences recommend it’s transferring from a 108MP sensor to a brand new 200MP one, however for the extra sensors, we’d as soon as once more see a 12MP ultra-wide digicam and a 10MP periscope, with 10x optical zoom.

After all, we nonetheless would possibly see these issues. These case photos is perhaps inaccurate, and even when they’re proper, there’s a excessive likelihood Samsung has simply upped the dimensions of the opposite lenses to make them extra uniform, with out really enhancing the cameras behind. Nevertheless it provides us hope that there is perhaps some unknown upgrades.

Evaluation: with or with out extra upgrades, the S23 Extremely would be the digicam telephone to beat in 2023

Whereas we’d like to see Samsung make significant enhancements to the ultra-wide and telephoto cameras on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely, even with out these issues, that is more likely to be the perfect digicam telephone on the planet when it launches.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Extremely at the moment tops our record of the perfect digicam telephones, so except Samsung actually drops the ball with this rumored 200MP sensor, the Galaxy S23 Extremely is more likely to take its place on the high of the record.

Samsung’s zoom images is already manner forward of the competitors too, so the corporate most likely doesn’t have a lot incentive to enhance the telephoto cameras proper now, and with 4 lenses to play with, the S22 Extremely is already a extra versatile digicam telephone than most flagships.

So whereas these case photos give us some hope that we’ll see extra upgrades to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely’s cameras, there’s a excessive likelihood we gained’t, and that gained’t cease this being the final word digicam telephone.

Nonetheless, if there are minimal upgrades then that offers the likes of the iPhone 15 and different anticipated telephones the possibility to catch up.
