Next, the device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, notably, all over the world. This Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset is different from what other Android phone uses as it is exclusively made for Samsung. Moreover, the processor is paired with 8/12 GB of RAM and 256/512/1,024 GB of internal storage.
Furthermore, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone will drive the Android 13-based One UI 5.1 software out of the box. The new One UI 5.1 software will install additional features and customization capabilities to the device.
For photography, the company has installed a 200MP ISOCELL HP2 (f/1.7, OIS) primary camera to the S23 Ultra. While the camera is assisted by a 12 MP (f/ 1.4, 120-degree FOV) ultra-wide angle lens, a 10 MP telephoto lens (f/ 2.4, 3x optical zoom, OIS), and another 10 MP periscope telephoto lens (f/ 4.9, 10x optical zoom, OIS).
Video recording maxes out at 8K 30 FPS. Interestingly, the sensor caps out 4K recording at 60 fps even though it is capable of recording at 120 fps. Meanwhile, the front side has a 12MP selfie shooter capable of HDR10+.
Aside from these, the device will feature the same battery capacity as its predecessor which is 5000mAh. This long-lasting battery supports 45W wired fast charging and 10W wireless fast charging.
The rest of the features of this phone include Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6E, UWB, NFC, an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, S-Pen, IP68 water & dust resistance ratings, 2 Dolby Atmos compatible speakers, and much more.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra launch offers:
In addition to this specs sheet, tipster @_snoopytech_ has disclosed the launch offers of the Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra smartphones for Europe. According to the information, consumers will be able to buy Galaxy S23 devices with a higher storage option but at the price of its lower storage option.
For instance, if you place a binding pre-order for a Galaxy S23 with 128GB, Galaxy S23+ with 256GB, or Galaxy S23 Ultra with 256 GB, you will be given a chance to choose the next larger storage variant without additional charges.
Meanwhile, if the customer has already opted for the highest storage variant of 256GB (Galaxy S23) or 512GB (Galaxy S23+ or S23 Ultra), he/she will receive the campaign device with the next smaller memory variant chosen by him/her at the cost of the campaign device.
Do note that this offer is a part of the Galaxy S23 series’ promotional period and you will be able to take advantage of it from February 1 to February 16, 2023.

Disclaimer: These Samsung Galaxy S25 specifications are gathered from leaks, rumors, and previous flagships. However, none of these cannot be confirmed as 100% accurate.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Price
Samsung Galaxy S25 5G should start at $800 in the United States. The price leaks and rumors aren’t out yet. However, the industry speculates a slight increase due to Qualcomm’s pricey 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Release Date
The Galaxy S25 series could be announced early next year. The company officially confirmed at its earnings call that the new Galaxy S will be released in the second half. You can expect the new flagships to be available by February 2025.
Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy leak reveals the nearly final design of Samsung’s next big flagship. After CAD renders, we now have a closer look at the refined new design of the Ultra flagship, which will give sleepless nights to Apple.
Onleaks posted a set of Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy models. The flagship can be seen with its refined design, which makes the corner slightly rounded. The Z Fold6-inspired camera rings also elevate the rear panel’s appearance, making it appealing.
There are three major changes in the body design of Samsung’s next Ultra flagship. The first is the frame, which is getting flatter like the iPhone. Second is rounded corners, that are not that rounded like S24/S25, and third is textured camera rings.
Notably, the dummy units don’t show a close look at the bezels. However, this aspect is expected to be improved over the previous generations. Minimal symmetrical bezels will present an appealing look on the phone’s front side.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is slimmer than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The S Pen compartment resists on the frame’s bottom, accompanied by the primary microphone, USB C-Type port, speaker grille, and SIM card tray.
The right side of the frame features volume adjustment buttons and a side key. The power button can be configured to trigger a digital assistant. The fingerprint scanner will be featured as an in-screen solution with faster and more reliable recognition.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S25 series in late January next year.
A new patent suggests Samsung working on next-gen camera tech that could save battery and crush lens process noise. The company has recently unveiled the All Lenses on Prism telephoto solution for thinner and sleeker zoom cameras.
Since smartphone camera modules get more advanced, a lot of processing power is required to finish the tasks. That said, Samsung is crafting even more advanced camera modules that save battery and reduce noise.
Enter Samsung’s new patent, which introduces a power-saving sub-processor. This clever little chip would handle all the extra camera tasks—like reducing noise from the OIS lens movements and managing the EIS algorithms.
It will reduce the burden of the main processor so it can focus on the actual photo-taking. At the time your device is in a sleep or power-saving state, the sub-processor keeps running quietly in the background, consuming minimal power.
If the technology is used, you will have less noise in camera operations, smoother performance, and better battery life. At the same time, you won’t lose your favorite camera features, but your smartphone will last longer between charges.
A look ahead
The development shows Samsung’s innovative approach. Other than upgrading camera sensors, the company is also working on improvements to the technology that works behind the scenes and makes a great impact on performance and efficiency.
Samsung often registers new patent applications to secure designs and innovations. However, it’s uncertain that a patented technology would surely be commercialized. Tech firms have thousands of approved patents that never get produced.
