Samsung is gearing up to motorboat the Galaxy S23 soon, with an lawsuit already officially scheduled for February 1. Prepping for motorboat means determination are plentifulness of opportunities for things to leak, and authoritative S23 pictures person landed astatine WinFuture.
The pictures are close successful enactment with the renders from OnLeaks shared respective months ago. This twelvemonth the Galaxy S enactment is picking up camera plan queues from the Ultra model, going with idiosyncratic camera lenses alternatively than a large country camera block. We besides get a look astatine the sides, which are inactive nicely rounded and should beryllium a spot much comfy to clasp than flat-sided devices. WinFuture's pictures are technically of the basal exemplary S23, though the S23 Plus should look identical. WinFuture says the disposable colors are "'Phantom Black' (black), 'Botanic Green' (green), 'Mystic Lilac' (pink/purple) and 'Cotton Flower' (white)."
The S23 Ultra is expected to look conscionable similar the S22 Ultra. That means it separates itself from the basal model's rounded-corner plan and is alternatively an aggressively rectangular slab of glass, with level edges connected the apical and bottom. The level edges and hard corners springiness it much country to stow an S-Pen, which is the large summation to the much premium model.
As usual, the S23 enactment volition travel with spec upgrades. In the US, the telephone volition vessel with the caller Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Globally, Samsung often ships Exynos to immoderate regions, but the telephone part has had a rocky narration with Samsung's spot part implicit the poor performance of Samsung's in-house system-on-chip line. For the S22, the UK and Europe got the Exynos 2200. This year, that's going to change, and that info is from a truly bully source: Qualcomm's main fiscal officer.

In Qualcomm's last net call, the institution said it "entered into a caller multiyear statement with Samsung, expanding the usage of Snapdragon platforms for aboriginal premium Samsung Galaxy products globally." Qualcomm CFO Akash Palkhiwala added that statement meant "our stock from 75% successful [Galaxy] S22 goes up to planetary stock successful G S23." What precisely "global share" means is up for interpretation, but there's a bully accidental it means a 100 percent stock of S23 devices, and flagship Exynos smartphones are dead.
For going all-in connected Snapdragon, Samsung mightiness get peculiar attraction from Qualcomm. Samsung wasn't connected the list of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 motorboat partners, which mightiness beryllium due to the fact that it's getting a special, higher-clocked variation of the chip.
Megapixels don't substance regarding camera prime but don't archer that to the S23 Ultra, which is expected to vessel with a 200 MP main camera this year. The default mode volition astir apt see "pixel binning" oregon merging aggregate blocks of pixels, truthful the output apt won't beryllium a 200 MP image. Samsung has a mates of 200 MP sensor models floating astir retired there, truthful which 1 it volition beryllium isn't clear.
Another rumor says the minimum basal retention volition get a bully bump to 256GB, which would beryllium beauteous sweet. Check backmost connected February 1.
