Samsung Galaxy S23 specs: Full lineup comparison
While the S23 and S23 Plus offer similar-sounding hardware to their predecessors – especially in the camera department – theSamsung Galaxy S23 Ultrais the first of the company’s phones to feature a new 200MP main camera that delivers even greater low light performance across stills, portrait shots, and videos, compared to the 108MP sensor found on 2022’sGalaxy S22 Ultra.
This latest generation is also among the first in the world to sport faster and more power-efficient LPRRD5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage (with the exception of the base 128GB Galaxy S23, which uses the same UFS 3.1-type storage as theGalaxy S22series).
The S23 series also manages to nab an exclusive tuned version of Qualcomm’s latest 8 Gen 2 chipset, dubbed the ‘Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy’ which boasts a higher clock speed (3.36GHz versus 3.2GHz) on the prime Cortex X3 core, compared to the standard 8 Gen 2. Paired with the faster memory and storage, as well as vapor chamber cooling that’s on average 2.7x bigger across the range, these things are made to be pushed and should age extremely well as a result.
All three models are available in the same four main colors too, with two additional Samsung.com exclusive finishes for the S23 and S23 Plus, while the S23 Ultra can be had in four additional exclusive hues.
