Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Puts 200MP Camera And S Pen Into A Refined Flagship – SlashGear

Galaxy S23 Ultra buyers will get four generations of Android OS update, and five years of security updates. The smartphone will run One UI 5.1 out of the box with support for features like video lock screens, Bixby Text Call — which uses text-to-speech so you can answer calls by typing — and Smart Suggestions to recommend apps and settings based on your typical daily activities. Modes and Routines give Galaxy Phones a similar system to iOS’ Focus, making it easy to switch between different configurations for things like notification settings.

Running all that is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the flagship chipset announced at the end of 2022. There’ll be three configurations: a Galaxy S23 Ultra with 8 GB of memory and 256 GB of storage, or one with 12 GB of memory and either 512 GB or 1 TB of storage.

Regardless, you get 5G in both Sub-6 and mmWave flavors, Wi-Fi 6E, Ultra Wideband support, and both an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor and face recognition. On the green front, Samsung is removing all plastics from its packaging, though as in previous years, you’ll have to supply your own charger. For 2023, nobody gets left out when it comes to colors: the Galaxy S23 Ultra is available in the same Phantom Black, Cream, Green, and Lavender finishes as its S23 and S23+ siblings. Preorders kick off today, February 1, 2023, priced from $1,199.99. The model will begin shipping on February 17, 2023.
