Of course, we'll have full reviews for all the new Samsung S23 phones as soon as we get them in for testing, but in the meantime, here's what you need to know ...

With new Samsung phones announced each year, it’s hard to make a case to keep upgrading. 12-megapixel wide camera And, of course, there was the usual array of fun Samsung filters which can help personalize your pics. While the Galaxy S23 Ultra will get a significant camera bump up to a 200-megapixel sensor from the S22 Ultra’s 108 megapixels, the S23 and S23+ will offer more incremental changes. For instance, the selfie camera on the S23 and S23+ now have a resolution of 12 megapixels, up from 10 megapixels. And though we didn’t have enough time to put it to a longer test, it did show off impressive graphics and effects in gaming, and should manage to squeeze out some more battery life to boot (Samsung claims a 20% battery boost but we’ll be the judge of that). Like last year’s S22 and S22+, you’ll still get the same Dynamic AMOLED 2X display that graces the pricier S23 Ultra, but all the phones also come with a 120Hz refresh rate, which looked best when we were playing games or watching fast-moving video. In terms of design, they have the same solid, rectangular bodies in the same size screens: 6.1 inches on the S23 and 6.6 inches for the S23+. In addition, switchers can also nab a $200 Verizon eCard and will be automatically upgraded to the next storage tier for free. It will be available in stores on Feb 17. You can choose from storage options of 128GB and 256GB with 8GB of RAM. This not only includes a smoother, flush back for the S23 and S23+ that gets rid of that beefy camera bump, but also better camera optics and an upgraded Qualcomm processor, which the company claims is the fastest Snapdragon ever.

Should you get the Ultra and enjoy the new 200-megapixel camera or stick with a smaller handset? We have recommendations.

It has a 5,000-mAh battery, and Samsung says it will last 20 percent longer than last year's S22 Ultra despite having the same capacity. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is the crème de la crème of Samsung's lineup. (Remember, there's no more charging adapter in the box, so you'll have to supply one yourself.)

However, global smartphone shipments showed the largest-ever decline in a single quarter in the October-December period, when they were down 18.3% on a year earlier at 300.3 million units, according to data issued by research firm IDC last month. Samsung kept the prices at the same level as for last year's model despite rises in component costs. "We intend to focus on the premium segment in developed markets as well as some of the countries where we are seeing solid growth," he said.

Samsung held its first in-person event in San Francisco where the company unveiled three Galaxy S23 phones and three Galaxy Book laptops.

There's the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra, Galaxy Book 3 Pro in 14 and 16-inch sizes, and the Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360. The Book 3 Ultra is the flagship laptop and is equipped with a 16-inch AMOLED display with a 3K resolution of 2880x1800 and a 120Hz refresh rate. The Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 also comes with a 16-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung didn't provide any specifics about the Book 3 and Book 360, but presumably, they'll be lower-tier versions of the Pro models. As for the internal specs of the Book 3 Ultra, Samsung is using Intel's 13th Gen Intel Core i7 or Core i9 processors as options, along with either a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 or 4070 Laptop GPU, 16GB or 32GB of memory, and 512GB or 1TB of storage.

Instead, Samsung used the attention to shine a spotlight on its [Galaxy Book 3 Windows laptop lineup](https://www.zdnet.com/article/samsungs-galaxy-book-3-series-includes-a-new-flagship-ultra-laptop/). The main wide camera is a [200-megapixel sensor](https://www.zdnet.com/article/samsung-just-showed-off-this-200-megapixel-smartphone-image-sensor/). Rounding out the camera setup is a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle and two 10-megapixel telephoto cameras.

The S23 has a 6.1-inch AMOLED FHD+ display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate.

We got our hands on Samsung's Galaxy Book 3 Pro, Pro 360 and Ultra, which promise lots of speed and versatility within thin and light designs.

The Book 3 Pro 360 is shaping up to be a worthy follow up to one of our favorite notebooks from last year, and could be the way to go for folks who want a powerful laptop that can also double as a tablet for drawing and taking notes. [got to see in action on other notebooks](https://www.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/electronics/why-you-should-buy-gaming-laptop-in-2023) earlier this year, could make the Book 3 Ultra the perfect unassuming [gaming laptop](https://www.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/reviews/best-gaming-laptop) — one that you can sneak into the office or coffee shop without raising an eyebrow. 256GB / 512GB / 1TB Samsung’s highest-end laptop comes loaded with up to a 13th Gen Intel Core i9 processor as well as Nvidia’s new RTX 40-series graphics, which should make it a beast for tearing through everyday workloads as well as intensive photo and video edits. 8GB / 16GB / 32GB Packing a vivid 2880 x 1800 display, the Book 3 Pro 360’s panel is both sharper and taller than the previous generation, adopting a 16:10 screen ratio that This feature is available on the entire previous and current generation of Galaxy Books, and seems like a nice perk for folks who primarily use Samsung devices. The Galaxy Book 3 Pro starts at $1,450, and will be available in Graphite and Beige in both 14-inch and 16-inch variations. Also, while I love that this laptop includes a stylus — something rare for a 2-in-1 — I’m disappointed that there’s nowhere to neatly store it within the notebook itself (the S Pen can attach magnetically to the laptop, but that’s less ideal than having a secure place to slot it). Its slim frame looked very slick in beige (which appeared more like gold in person), and felt impressively lightweight for a 16-inch laptop — something that especially stood out when I picked it up and folded it into a tablet. Wondering if they’re worth the preorder? Samsung might be best known for its Galaxy phones, but the company’s laptops are no slouches either.

We tried Samsung's new Galaxy Book3 Ultra, and it's a nice-looking, nice-feeling workstation with an excellent screen — but whether it can beat Apple's ...

The M2 generation of MacBooks is very strong on that front — and given that the Galaxy Book3 Ultra is running a high-resolution screen, a power-hungry H-series processor, and a very power-hungry RTX GPU, I’m a little bit nervous about that. Elsewhere, using the device felt pretty similar to using any number of other Samsung Galaxy Books, with a satisfyingly clicky keyboard, a smooth finish, a high-quality build, and a compact chassis. Potentially, I can see this slotting in as a slightly cheaper alternative option for professionals with graphics-heavy workloads who are looking for something a bit more portable than a MacBook. The units in Samsung’s demo area were preproduction devices, so I hope this is a kink Samsung can iron out before the final release. It’ll start at $2,399.99 ($100 cheaper than the base MacBook Pro 16), with a release date still to be announced. [in the Galaxy Book3 line](https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/1/23578596/samsung-galaxy-book-3-pro-360-ultra-14-16-inch-price), a big draw of this workstation will be its screen.

The MacBook Pros are a lot of things, but cheap isn't one. Performance comes at a price. It's certainly a philosophy Samsung subscribes to.

Samsung could not have designed the Galaxy Book3 Ultra at a better time. Samsung has also minimized the camera bump on the back of the Galaxy S23 and S23+, making it more in line with the camera bump on the back of the S23 Ultra. Considering I was able to get a hand-on experience with the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra, I’ll say that Samsung really knows how to make a premium device. I appreciate Samsung's reduction in curvature for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Amon also talked about how the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is for Galaxy which leads me to believe there is some semi-customization in the S23 processor. The Galaxy S23 Ultra supports real-time ray tracing for enhanced gaming, and Samsung says its 5,000 mAh battery also lasts 20% longer. The Galaxy S23 devices boast Qualcomm's newest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 system-on-chip (SoC), and it is one of the biggest generational improvements I have ever seen in an SoC. Alongside 45% better power efficiency and 25% better Adreno GPU performance, it has 60% better performance per watt (PPW) and 90% better overall performance compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Although the raised aluminum back on the S22 and S22+ looks better in my opinion, changing the backs to match the S23 Ultra makes sense. While monikers like "Max," "Ultra" and "Pro" always help in differentiating the different levels of devices, when Samsung includes its "Ultra" in a device, it means it. However, not everyone can pull off a high-megapixel camera sensor like the Galaxy S23 Ultra's 200MP camera sensor with its pixel-binning technology and AI-powered ISP. This week Samsung announced its next-generation S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra flagship smartphones, alongside five new Ultrabook laptops in its Galaxy Book series.

Samsung unveiled its newest Galaxy S23 smartphones, which will be available Feb. 17 and can be pre-ordered now.

"It is certainly a challenging economic environment to sell premium devices, but the new Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra are all priced the same as last year, despite inflation," Greengart said. ](https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnists/2023/02/01/samsung-s-23-ultra-camera-vs-apple-iphone/11157581002/?asdfas)The S23 and S23+ models each have improved 12MP front selfie cameras and the top-of-the-line S23 Ultra has a massive 200-megapixel sensor, for higher-res shots and improved low-light images. "With its extensive zoom options, Samsung’s camera system on the Galaxy S23 Ultra is extremely versatile." And the new phone will also incorporate And the improved processing capabilities will help Samsung phones stand out, said David McQueen, research director at ABI Research. And the top-of-the-line 6.8-inch S23 Ultra starts at $1,199.99 (256GB; you can get up to 1 terabyte). Consumers may be able to get deals. The 6.6-inch Galaxy S23+ starts at $999.99 with 256GB (there's a 512GB option). 17 through various retailers and carriers, is priced the same as the current Galaxy S22 line. [Can the S23 Ultra deliver the 'best pictures and video in the world'?](https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnists/2023/02/01/samsung-s-23-ultra-camera-vs-apple-iphone/11157581002/) That's nearly double the capacity on the S22 Ultra's 108MP sensor. [Samsung](https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnists/2023/02/01/samsung-s-23-ultra-camera-vs-apple-iphone/11157581002/) officially unveiled its latest line of Galaxy smartphones Wednesday and the tech giant hit the mark on all of the expected numbers and specifications.

El lanzamiento se produce cuando Samsung y otras compañías tecnológicas enfrentan una incertidumbre económica más amplia que podría empujar a los consumidores a reconsiderar sus gastos. Las cámaras del Galaxy S23+ y el Galaxy S23 incluso tienen un aspecto nuevo y sutil: se eliminó el contorno de la carcasa, lo que, según Samsung, marca una nueva era de diseño.

The stage is set for Samsung Unpacked 2023, where the company will unveil its latest Galaxy S23 smartphones, Galaxy Books, and possibly something more.

In addition to the smartphone announcement, we can expect Samsung to announce its updated Galaxy Book laptop. Following Samsung's previous announcement patterns, we can expect the phones to be called the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. If you want to take advantage of that offer, you may want to act fast, as the last day to sign up is Feb. At Samsung Unpacked, we can expect Samsung to unveil its newest smartphone lineup, the Galaxy S23 phones. The event will be live-streamed in its entirety. If you want to get a first look at the devices and see the reveal live, here's how.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra builds on one of the best smartphones out there with faster speeds and a camera that's almost twice as sharp.

Those will likely continue to be the best Android phones for the majority of people, but for power users willing to splurge on a big, pen-friendly display and truly loaded cameras, the S23 Ultra is looking like yet another Folks coming from a Galaxy S20 Ultra or older should enjoy an especially big jump, as you’ll be getting a significantly streamlined design, a built-in S Pen, 5G support and a camera that packs nearly twice the resolution for extra-sharp shots. The Galaxy S23 Ultra looks like more of the same, and depending on where you are in your upgrade cycle, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Zooming in and out felt instantaneous, as did playing around with the usual smattering of camera settings and filters that come standard on a Samsung phone. There’s also a new Bixby Text Call feature that lets you quickly respond to incoming calls with an automatically-generated text. The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s quad-camera array is led by a whopping 200-megapixel wide camera — certainly the highest pixel count of any phone camera we’ve tested, and one that nearly doubles the main 108-megapixel lens featured on the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Scrolling through web pages on the phone’s 6.8-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display felt wonderfully fluid, and I was able to speed my way through Asphalt 9 Legends without a hitch thanks to the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor packed inside. We wouldn’t blame you for mistaking the Galaxy S23 Ultra for last year’s model at a quick glance. [Verizon](https://www.verizon.com/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s23-plus/), you can get up to $800 off the S23 Ultra with an eligible trade-in on a 5G Unlimited plan — on top of a free Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Tab S7 FE. 16, buying through Samsung will get you a bump to the next storage tier (so 256GB to 512GB, or 512GB to 1TB) for free as well as $100 in Samsung credit — or up to $150 if you But with a truly ridiculous camera setup (at least on paper) and some intriguing software tricks, the Galaxy S23 Ultra could end up being the new high-end phone to beat for serious photographers and multitaskers. Samsung's latest plus-sized phone is available in Phantom Black, Cream, Green or Lavender, with storage options that include 256GB, 512GB and 1TB.

The higher-end S23 Ultra features a new 200 MP adaptive pixel sensor for the first time that supports multiple levels of high-resolution processing at once, enabling what the company called “unprecedented resolution photo quality never before seen on a smartphone camera.”

Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled its latest iPhone-rivaling Android smartphones on Wednesday, improving the cameras, battery life and design with its new ...

There are three new phones—the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra—as well as five new laptops.

The S23 line does have more recycled components than last year, however; the company says it has doubled the number of recycled parts on the S23 Ultra to 12, from the speaker module to the volume keys. The S23+ sits in the middle with a 6.6-inch screen. It pops out of the bottom edge of the handset. Samsung's Galaxy S23 smartphones follow closely in the footsteps of the S22 series. [Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+](https://shop-links.co/ci2LoboGZLI), and [Galaxy S23 Ultra](https://shop-links.co/ci2LrBc2UgM). At its big media event today in San Francisco—the first in-person Galaxy Unpacked since the pandemic—Samsung also unveiled a whopping five new laptops, all of which are badged with the new Galaxy Book3 name.

Samsung's first Galaxy Unpacked event of the year revealed a number of new devices, including a new lineup of Galaxy S23 phones and Galaxy Book3 laptops.

While the Book3 Pro comes in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes, the Book3 Pro 360 comes in just a 16-inch variation. The Book3 Pro starts at $1,449.99, while the Book3 Pro starts at $1,899.99. In addition to the Galaxy Book3 Ultra, Samsung also revealed the Book3 Pro and Book3 Pro 360. Luckily, Anker just released a new set of budget-friendly chargers that support Samsung’s Super Fast Charging 2.0 feature. Samsung’s Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus devices actually resemble the S23 Ultra this time around. They both ditch the camera bump for a floating camera design and even come in the same colors as the Ultra. Both devices are available to preorder today and start shipping on February 17th. The device, which is geared toward creatives and other business professionals, features an Intel Core i7 or i9 processor, Nvidia RTX 4050 or 4070 graphics chip, and a 16-inch 2880 x 1800 120Hz OLED display. You can preorder the device today, and it ships on February 17th. The base Ultra model now also comes with 256GB of storage, which is a nice addition. Despite these weighty specs, the device is just 3.9 pounds and a little over half an inch thick. [The Galaxy Book3 Pro and 3 Pro 360 get better displays](https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/1/23578596/samsung-galaxy-book-3-pro-360-ultra-14-16-inch-price)

Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm are joining hands to make a mixed-reality platform, the company said at the Galaxy Unpacked event.

A phone as large as the Ultra offers little margin for a case before "big but manageable" turns into "tacky, torrid tank," but walking around without a Galaxy ...

Another benefit of all this extra attention is that case makers are more willing to experiment when new ideas on the Ultra, such as Spigen and UAG's first magnetic ring cases and a reinvented lineup for the i-Blason Cosmo Series. Cases are also starting to get a little weird again between the Samsung Clear Gadget Case and the Gear4 London. Casetify's got hundreds of styles available for the Galaxy S23 Ultra right now, but the real fun with Casetify is going to start in a few weeks as it starts getting added to new Co-Labs — and hopefully added to some existing collections. Among this year's many, many cases, a few standouts rise to the top, including a surprisingly strong entry for the UAG Metropolis LT Pro. You'll definitely pay a bit of a brand tax buying a Samsung case, but it's a case that will be laser fitted to your phone and could be even more interesting once the swappable wallet or gimble "gadgets" arrive later this year. As the name implies, this is another dual-layer case with a flexible inner sleeve and a hard outer shell for stability and support. Inside this genuine leather case, you'll find three card slots along with a cash flap, and the magnetic clasps on the sides of the case are placed well to avoid any possible overlap with that lowered power button. While it inevitably bulks up the S23 Ultra a bit, that wider bottom makes it easier to grip when taking photos and keeps those floating cameras far, far away from anything that might scratch them. You can go traditional with the Clear Fusion and just keep a shirt hem handy to wipe things down, opt for the Matte version with its frosted backplate, or even go to the dark side with the Smoke Black and its more translucent grey hue. From the simplest of clear cases to the cutting edge, we're rounding up the best Galaxy S23 Ultra cases to ensure your Ultra is well-dressed and just the right amount of clingy. Its multi-layer design and ArticFlow technology help pull heat away from the phone and dissipate it so that you can game hard and longer before that clocked-up Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy gets throttled. Though the curve of the phone has been markedly improved, it's still a slab of glass and Armor Aluminum, and neither of those materials is textured for proper grip.

The Galaxy Book 3 Pro is 4mm thinner and about 8 ounces lighter than the Ultra. It's a bit on the heftier side for its family at 16.5 mm thick and 4 pounds (1.8kg).

The first benchmarks are out, and Samsung's device appears to outpace Apple's latest iPhone in graphical benchmarks. ...

Although the iPhone with its A16 Bionic hits 74fps in the main test and 20fps in the extreme version, the S23 Ultra manages 79.3 and 20.9fps, respectively. The first benchmark numbers for the S23 Ultra are circulating, and Samsung has surpassed Apple in one important area: graphics. The Gen 2 in Samsung’s S23 family has an overclocked prime CPU core, going from 3.2GHz to 3.36GHz. Last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 drew closer to Apple, and the Gen 2 is even faster. Ever since Apple switched to its custom A-series ARM chips, it has left Qualcomm and other mobile chipmakers in the dust. Samsung and Qualcomm cooperated to include a more powerful version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 than you’ll find in other phones.

Devices running on One UI 5.0, like the Galaxy S23 and latest Z series, can now leverage Samsung's Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for surround-sound video recording.

The 360 audio recording function leverages the microphones from both the phone and earbuds for a more immersive and dynamic audio experience. Then, listen to the video to see if the audio path is discernible. Swipe down and select "Advanced video options" in the menu. Now it's time to enable 360 audio recording in your camera settings. Just make sure that the earbuds are charged and placed in the charging case when doing so.

No matter which color you choose, you are getting one of the most capable and powerful phones to date. The cream color allows your eyes to naturally go to the color of the case and not to the color of the phone. The green is striking to my eyes, but you may hate it or have trouble matching its unique color with other devices. It's a striking color that finds a nice balance and is arguably one of the best colors for the lineup this year. Samsung may have overshot the lavender color a bit and created more of a shade of pink with some purple in it. Regardless of what the actual color is, I love that it isn’t over the top or in your face. The lack of color on your phone enables you to demonstrate your own unique style by getting out of the way and letting your case choice shine. Samsung likes to tweak its color options a bit to varying degrees, and its green colorway is likely to be a bit polarizing. Those who aren't looking to make a statement with a pop of color can turn to the phantom black option for the Galaxy S23+. Samsung gives you eight color options this year, so you are sure to find a color that you love. The Galaxy S23+ is for those who want a larger screen and improved battery life over the standard model. If you have set your sights on the Galaxy S23+ for its larger screen and increased battery life, then all there is left to do is explore the colorways and pick the one that is going to reflect your own personal style.

If you aren't committed to Android or iOS, the Galaxy S23 and iPhone 14 lines each offer distinct advantages. See which one is right for you.

Finally, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 2,796-by-1,290-pixel screen (460ppi) and the S23 Ultra comes with a 3,088-by-1,440-pixel display. You also get 12MP ultra-wide and 3x telephoto cameras, which pales in comparison with the Galaxy S23 Ultra's 10x telephoto lens. The Apple iPhone 14 family relies on the Qualcomm For example, the 14 Pro Max has a 4,323mAh cell, which is quite a bit smaller than the battery in Samsung's equivalent Galaxy S23 Ultra. If simply owning the biggest screen possible is important to you, the S23 Ultra is the winner. Both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro have 6.1-inch displays, whereas the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max have 6.7-inch screens. The Galaxy S23 starts at $799.99, the S23+ retails for $999.99, and the S23 Ultra comes in at $1,199.99. All versions of the iPhone 14 have 6GB of RAM. Similarly, Apple's top-of-the-line iPhone 14 Pro Max is available for $100 less than the base Galaxy S23 Ultra. We'd have to perform lots of drop tests and go with the law of averages to see which is superior. As with the S23 family, you can spend more on additional storage if you feel you need it. These base prices increase as you add more storage (and in the case of the S23 Ultra, more RAM).

Despite plunging demand for smartphones last year, Samsung has introduced its new Galaxy S23 phones and the third generation of its Galaxy PCs.

The new Samsung Galaxy Book3 series consists of the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra, Book3 Pro 360 and the Book3 Pro. Samsung’s new models include the base Galaxy S23, the Galaxy S23+ and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Samsung hopes that the enhanced cameras, AI and storage in its latest Galaxy phones will stimulate customer upgrades. “The road to recovery for the smartphone market is clouded with uncertainties,” Chiew noted. The new products will start shipping Feb. The company also introduced the third generation of its Galaxy Book laptops on Wednesday at its semiannual Samsung Unpacked event.
