New Information Arrived About The Design Of Galaxy S23 Ultra
Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone Galaxy S23 Ultra has recently been in the news. The design of the device is rumored to undergo a significant upgrade. Still, as of right now, it appears that the new handset will maintain a more traditional appearance.
The design of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, shared by OnLeaks in recent days, shows a very thin frame all around with a 3x telephoto lens and bump-free laser focus sensor.
But today, the Ice Universe leaker denied those renders by reporting that according to its sources, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra design would be similar to its predecessor, so with the thicker chin and protrusions for each of the five of the rear lenses.
The design would also be conservative and more like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra featured on the cover and below, as Samsung intends to cut expenses on manufacturing its next series of flagship smartphones.
Aside from the alleged design, we can focus on what the next top-of-the-range par excellence of Samsung’s house will have to offer from a hardware point of view. Certainties from this point of view are still few, but following the renewed agreements between Samsung and Qualcomm, it seems very likely that the range will be based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is first in line for the following year and is expected to come and prove to be an excellent gaming phone, as it is supposed to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
If the reports are to be believed, Samsung will power the forthcoming Galaxy S25 with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip in a few regions and the Exynos 2500 in others. While both chips will most likely be quite powerful, noticeably, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected to feature an extremely powerful GPU.
As per the report revealed by the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, it is speculated that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip has an exceptionally powerful GPU for improved and upgraded graphics performance. It is reported that the Qualcomm chip can run Genshin Impact at the native 1080p resolution.
At the moment, it appears that the game is running at 720p resolution by default, and even then, many phones struggle to maintain the 60fps frame rate with graphics quality set to the highest.
Qualcomm started actively building up the development of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and has decided to debut it on October 1, 2024. This forthcoming flagship chip is reported to be manufactured using TSMC’s 3nm process and feature Qualcomm’s custom CPU core named Oryon.
However, these CPU cores are already housed in the Snapdragon X Elite chipset built for ARM Windows laptops, which delivers impressive performance. Given this prospect, it is expected that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 can also offer impressive and efficient performance.
Apart from all that, the Xiaomi 14 will be the first phone to debut featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which could be introduced sometime in October 2024.
The Korean electronics firm ‘Samsung Electronics’ is now setting up to apply its latest 3-nm processing technology to the forthcoming Galaxy smartphones and smart wearable watches. It is expected that, initially, the brand will power the next Galaxy Watch 7 with this process.
The Korean giant will start operations of its second-generation 3-nm production line in its home country by the end of the year. If the reports are to be believed, the Galaxy Watch 7 could be the first product to be powered by the latest chip process technology, the Exynos W1000 application processor (AP) chip, taking on its competitors Apple and TSMC.
The Exynos W1000 is based on the 3-nm process node, the most advanced technology available in the chip industry yet, which is expected to upgrade computational performance and power efficiency by over 20%. Once Samsung debuts its forthcoming Galaxy Watch 7 powered by 3-nm AP, this will be the most powerful smartwatch to compete with the Apple Watch Series 9 powered by 5-nm AP.
Apple leads the wearable smartwatch industry with a 45% market share, as per the metrics of the third quarter of 2023, followed by Samsung with a 20% share. On the other hand, Samsung is planning to introduce its latest wearable device, the Galaxy Watch 7, and the very first Galaxy Ring at the Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris.
Next-generation foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, are also scheduled for the unpacked event in Paris. Jumping on the next year, the Galaxy S25 series is supposed to debut in early 2025 and is expected to use a powerful 3nm Exynos W1000 chip.
Samsung is cooking up a new market strategy as it sets up to hold an Unpacked event, a new product launch event to expand the smart wearable family, around July 10.
Samsung fans are already eagerly waiting for the July Unpack event, as Samsung is expected to introduce next-generation foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. Samsung Electronics says its Mobile Experience (MX) Division will hold an Unpacked event in Paris, France, around July 10.
The referees suggest that the key reason behind holding this event is just to maximize marketing effects ahead of the Paris Olympic Games, which are scheduled for July 26, 2024. The main focus of the giant appears to be unveiling the sixth-generation foldable phones, which are expected to bring more new generative AI features.
Apart from the next-generation foldable phones, the Korean brand is also looking forward to wearable devices at this Unpack event, as it is expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch 7 and the Galaxy Ring, which can be worn like a ring.
The forthcoming Galaxy Watch 7 will be powered by the new AP Exynos W1000, based on the second-generation 3-nm process. This is a state-of-the-art process developed by Samsung Electronics’ foundry division to catch up with TSMC. Reportedly, the chips based on the 3-nm process are 20% more power-efficient as compared to current 5-nm chips.
Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy Watch 7 will be the first to detect sleep apnea and is expected to introduce blood sugar monitoring using AI and various health data. It can be used for at least up to nine days after charging.
