How the Galaxy S23 Ultra will be different from its predecessor S22 Ultra
The biggest competitor of any soon-to-be-launched device is its own predecessor, and the same goes for the flagships as well. Hence, as the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s (top model of the Galaxy S23 series) launch is drawing near, every tech admirer desires to know what Samsung has done with it to make it different and more reliable than its foregoer Galaxy S22 Ultra, which can attract users towards it. Let’s find out the answer to it.
Odds of Galaxy S23 and S22 Ultra
First of all, let us inform you that both of these devices (the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy S23 Ultra) are the top-of-the-line models of their respective series, Galaxy S22, and S23. These are the top smartphone models of Samsung and are widely popular in the tech world. The S22 member joined the market last year (2022), and the S23 member will make its debut on 1st Feb at Galaxy Unpacked Event 2023. Now let’s move on to the main part, the odds of Galaxy S23 Ultra are listed below.
The camera of the Galaxy S23 Ultra
The Galaxy S23 Ultra has brought major upgrades in terms of camera. In particular, the S23 Ultra device does have the same quad camera setup on the back, but it has got some differences in the sensors and zooming abilities, which are mentioned below-
- The S23 Ultra has a 200MP ISOCELL HP2 image sensor, while the S22 Ultra features 108MP ISOCELL HM3.
- The soon-to-be-launched device could get 30x zooming ability which is only 20x for the S22 member.
- Now this one is quite frightening, but a 12MP selfie camera is smaller than S22’s 40MP shooter.
Display modifications of the Galaxy S23 Ultra
Just like the Camera, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has brought enormous modifications to its Display too. However, the Galaxy S23 Ultra device features the same 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display as the Galaxy S22 Ultra, with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support, but it has got upgrades in some terms. All Display modifications the S23 series member will show can be found below-
- It may be 2000 nits peak display brightness, which is only 1750 nits for the Galaxy S22 Ultra device.
- Support of Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2, one generation up from S22 Ultra’s Gorilla Glass Victus+.
A better hardware composition
The whole Galaxy S23 series features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, so the Ultra model does, too, while the S22 Ultra has the Gen 1 SoC of the same. However, the series features an overclocked version of the same processor, which is said to have a better clock speed than its base version. Another difference is that this time there will be no Exynos-based variant for this series, and all Galaxy S23 devices will have the Snapdragon processor only.
On the other hand, the S23 Ultra model will also feature updated RAM technology. On one side, the Galaxy S22 Ultra features LPDDR5 RAM (UFS 3.1), while on the other side, the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra features LPDDR5X RAM (UFS 4.0). Besides, there will be no 128GB internal storage variant for the S23 member as the Galaxy S22 Ultra does.
Differences in terms of OS and UI
The upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra will be booted with Android 13 and One UI 5.1 on top of it. However, the Galaxy S22 Ultra (introduced with Android 12) has also got the Android 13 update but with the One UI 5.0 version. As the S23 Ultra device is coming with a generation-up OS version, it will end up with an additional update (as compared to S22 Ultra) too. In particular, the Galaxy S22 Ultra will stretch up to Android version 16, but the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the first Samsung device to reach up to Android 17.
Samsung is this close to debuting the next-generation flip phone, the Galaxy Z Flip 6, at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2024. The early benchmark now reveals the device’s key specs.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 is the hot topic for now, and the leaks and rumors are going to increase the enthusiasm among Galaxy Foldable fans. Now the new benchmark listing is teasing them as it confirms a few largely predictable key specifications.
Although the Geekbench database doesn’t mention the device name dedicatedly, since last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 model number SM-F731U and the present spotted model number SM-F741U are quite similar in existence, it is pretty obvious it stands for Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Noticeably, just because this particular pre-release Z Flip 6 prototype features 8GB of RAM, that doesn’t mean the Korean giant is not setting up a higher 12GB configuration as well. The leaked benchmark confirms the expectation that the forthcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6 could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
The smartphone achieves impressive graphics performance in a benchmark test, exceeding the Z Flip 5 and even strongly competing with the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Given this prospect, it is expected that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could offer a promising performance.
Although there are yet no exact or official reports in existence regarding a Galaxy S-style processor separation for particular regions, The Exynos 2400 SoC, mind you, is not slow enough as compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 beast, so there’s a high chance that you would not be able to catch the difference between the two possible Galaxy Z Fold 6 models in terms of real-time performance.
Somehow, it appears that it will be hard to convince people to buy the Galaxy Z Flip 6 since it has a familiar design rendered a couple of months ago and also unchanged charging speeds. It is expected that Samsung could offer a 3,700 to around 4,000 mAh battery and two 12MP rear-facing cameras.
Samsung Galaxy S25 is next in line to join the premium ‘S’ series of the Korean giant and is expected to use Gemini Nano Version 2.
Currently, Galaxy smartphones use Google’s Gemini Nano AI for on-device tasks, but now reports are unveiling that the forthcoming Galaxy S25 series will use the newer version of Gemini Nano 2. Some of the cloud-based features utilize the more powerful Gemini Pro; this suggests a key focus on user security and offline functionality.
Transparently, the Galaxy S24 has broken the record of its predecessor series, and the Galaxy AI was a major reason behind this. Galaxy AI includes many generative AI tools that involve on-device AI, and most of them include text generation and language translation.
Nguyen Phi Hung’s post on X speculates about this, despite the brand’s lack of official announcement on the matter. However, if the reports are accurate, Google and Samsung are preparing to collaborate once more to introduce the next generation of Galaxy S phones.
Samsung is gearing up to bring major improvements to Galaxy AI to the Galaxy S25 smartphones. At the moment, the brand has not revealed anything officially yet, but we can expect that it will offer a slew of performance and camera improvements with a similar form factor to what we have gotten over the past couple of years.
For now, a thing that was quite unexpected is a new version of Gemini Nano, since it launched only a couple of months ago. Given this prospect, it is hard to expect Google’s release plan. It will be interesting to see what new features and novelties the forthcoming Galaxy S25 could release.
Samsung has already debuted the latest mid-range Galaxy A35 5G smartphone in several regions and has now made it available in the U.S. It features an immersive display, a high-end camera, and enhanced security.

The battery package includes 5,000 mAh with the support of Super Fast Charging. The brand has equipped it with IP67 water and dust protection.
The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G is the first device to bring innovative security features from flagship Galaxy devices to Galaxy A series devices.

The Galaxy A35 5G adds an extra layer of security as it offers a Security and Privacy Dashboard to enhance users’ control over their data. This will also permit them to see what data is being accessed, cancel permissions for applications, and utilize private sharing. Private sharing allows for secure
Private sharing permits secure sharing of susceptible files with several controls, for instance, access permissions, expiration dates, and restrictions on screenshots or downloads. Samsung has designed the Galaxy A35 5G model to be a durable and secure business phone, as it has Knox Vault, a strong body and scratch-resistance display, high-quality photos in both bright and low-light scenarios, and many more.
The Galaxy A35 5G smartphone is available in two color variants, Navy and Awesome Lilac, on Samsung.com for $399.99.
