The Samsung Galaxy S23 is a series of high-end Android-based smartphones designed, developed, manufactured, and marketed by Samsung Electronics as part of its flagship Galaxy S series. The phones were announced on 1 February 2023 at Galaxy Unpacked and was released on 17 February 2023.[6][7][8][9][10] They collectively serve as the successor to the Samsung Galaxy S22 series.

History[edit]

Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra were announced on 1 February 2023 at Galaxy Unpacked.

Lineup[edit]

The Galaxy S23 series includes three devices, which share the same lineup and screen sizes with the previous Galaxy S22 series. The entry-level Galaxy S23 features a flat 6.1-inch (155 mm) display with a variable refresh rate from 48 Hz to 120 Hz, 8 GB of RAM, and storage options from 128 GB to 512 GB. The Galaxy S23+ features similar hardware in a larger 6.6-inch (168 mm) form factor, storage options starting at 256 GB, faster charging rate and larger battery capacity. At the top of the lineup, the Galaxy S23 Ultra features a curved 6.8-inch (173 mm) display with a variable refresh rate starting at 1 Hz, 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM, storage options from 256 GB to 1 TB, and the largest battery capacity in the lineup. Additionally, it features a more advanced camera setup, a higher-resolution display, and like the previous Galaxy S22 Ultra, an integrated S Pen for increased functionality and productivity.

Specifications[edit]

Hardware[edit]

Chipset[edit]

Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy includes an Octa-Core CPU and an Adreno 740 GPU with a Qualcomm X70 modem for connectivity. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy is a special version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 developed specifically for Samsung.[13][14] The difference between the regular version of the Snapdragon compared to the Samsung version is that the Samsung version features an overclocked Cortex-X3 core at 3.36 GHz instead of 3.20 GHz, and the Adreno 740 GPU has been overclocked to 719 MHz instead of 680 MHz.[15]

Display[edit]

The Galaxy S23 series features a "Dynamic AMOLED 2X" display with HDR10+ support, 1750 nits of peak brightness, and "dynamic tone mapping" technology. All models use an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.[16]

galaxy S22 and S22+ offer 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB and 256 GB options

The S22 and S22+ offer 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB and 256 GB options for internal storage. The S22 Ultra has 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB as well as a 12 GB option with 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB options for internal storage. Unlike the S21 Ultra, the S22 Ultra doesn't feature a model with a 16 GB RAM variant. All three models lack a microSD card slot.

Batteries[edit]

The S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra contain non-removable 3,700 mAh, 4,500 mAh, and 5000 mAh Li-Po batteries respectively. The S22 supports wired charging over USB-C at up to 25W (using USB Power Delivery) while the S22+ and S22 Ultra have faster 45W charging. Tests found there's no significant difference between the 45W and 25W charging speeds.[7] All three have Qi inductive charging up to 15W. The phones also have the ability to charge other Qi-compatible devices from the S22's own battery power, which is branded as "Wireless PowerShare," at up to 4.5W.

Connectivity[edit]

All three phones support 5G SA/NSA networks. The Galaxy S22 supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, while the Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra support Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. The S22+ and S22 Ultra models also support Ultra Wideband (UWB) for short-range communications similar to Bluetooth[8] (not to be confused with 5G mmWave, which is marketed as Ultra Wideband by Verizon). Samsung uses this technology for their new "SmartThings Find" feature and the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag+.

The S22 and S22+ have a 50 MP wide sensor, a 10 MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor. The S22 Ultra retains its predecessor's 108 MP sensor with 12-bit HDR. It also has two 10 MP telephoto sensors with 3x and 10x optical zoom as well as a 12 MP ultrawide sensor. The front-facing camera uses a 10 MP sensor on the S22 and S22+, and a 40 MP sensor on the S22 Ultra.

The Galaxy S22 series can record HDR10+ video and support HEIF.[6]

Supported video modes[edit]

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series supports the following video modes:[6]

Still frames extracted from high resolution footage can act as standalone photographs.

S Pen[edit]

The S22 Ultra is the first S series phone to include a built-in S Pen, a hallmark feature of the Galaxy Note series. The S Pen has latency at 2.8ms, reduced from 26ms on Note 20 and 9ms on the Note 20 Ultra and S21 Ultra (note that the S21 Ultra had S Pen functionality, but it was not included with the phone), and marked the introduction of an 'AI-based co-ordination prediction system'. The S Pen also supports Air gestures and the Air Action system.

Software[edit]

The S22 phones were released with Android 12 (One UI 4.1) with Samsung's One UI software. Samsung Knox is included for enhanced device security, and a separate version exists for enterprise use. One UI 5.0 was released on 17 October 2022.

Reception[edit]

Performance throttling controversy[edit]

Testing performed by benchmarking utility Geekbench and media outlet Android Police reported that Samsung's Game Optimizing Service (GOS) would throttle the performance of the device significantly in a number of popular apps while excluding benchmarking utilities; one specific test, using a copy of Geekbench 5 that was modified to look like Genshin Impact to the GOS, recorded a loss of 45% in single-core performance and 28% in multi-core performance versus an undisguised copy of the utility on the S22+.[10] In response, Geekbench has permanently delisted the entire S22, S21 and S10 lineup from its service.[11] Samsung has since released an update allowing S22 users to disable GOS on their devices.[12]
