The 5 most important new features of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series
The long-awaited Galaxy S23 series officially launched in the global market. The company (Samsung) has already started accepting pre-orders for it. Notably, the series will get a total of three devices as usual, which are Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra. All three of them compile plenty of new features, which further increases the value of this series. Today we will focus on the 5 most important new offerings of this series. So, let’s get started.
1. The new One UI 5.1
The Galaxy S23 series gave a platform to this newly-launched One UI 5.1 update, which is also the most admirable offering of this series. Informatively, the One UI 5.1 update has been launched with the Galaxy S23 series out of the box. It is based on Android 13, and as it made its official debut with the S23 series, this series is the first one to get it. Notably, the One UI 5.1 has a lot to serve. In-depth information can be found here.
2. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset
The most important and noticeable thing about the Galaxy S23 series is its processor. All three devices of this series feature an overclocked version of Qualcomm’s chipset, which is the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset”. The other thing is, this time, Samsung hadn’t produced any Exynos-based devices due to the issues it has shown previously, which means all the S23 models are running on this Galaxy dedicated SoC.
For information, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset has the Adreno 740 GPU and an improved CPU. It is an octa-core processor, which is said to have a better clock speed of 3.36GHz. The chipset has increased the Galaxy S23 series’ processing abilities by 30% as compared to its predecessor series Galaxy S22.
3. 200MP image sensor for the top-of-the-line Ultra model
Besides the processor, the other appreciable thing of this series is the 200MP image sensor of its Galaxy S23 Ultra device. This adaptive pixel sensor is capable of withstanding all lighting levels. The sensor uses a better pixel binning technology, which helps it to offer a total of three output options- 200MP, 50MP, and 12MP. Notably, it is the main rear camera sensor of the Ultra device, which can capture sharper and clearer images.
4. A better USF 4.0 memories
Apart from all of these, a device’s memory is also the most important component of it. Hence, the Galaxy S23 series will undoubtedly win in this league. Informatively, the recently-launched series contains the USF 4.0 memory type in it. The 4.0 memory is faster and more efficient compared to the previous 3.1 memory type. It is said to have a maximum data transfer speed of 23.2 GB/s.
Additionally, the USF 4.0 memory has read and write speeds of 4200MB/s and 2800MB/s, respectively. It has also got a 46% improvement in its sequential read speed (6MB/s). Notably, the Plus and Ultra model of the Galaxy S23 series uses USF 4.0 memory, but the Base Galaxy S23 device is stuck with USF 3.1 memory.
5. A more consistent design and stability
Now, the design and stability are quite different from the rest of the modifications because the others can be experienced by using them, but the design can be seen through the bare eye, and stability can be justified by time. Notably, for better stability, the company has protected the Galaxy S23 series with Corning’s new Gorilla Glass Victus 2, on the front and back, which provides greater protection.
Adobe Lightroom became the official native photo editing software for the Galaxy S23 Ultra
The company has tried something new with this Galaxy S23 device this time. In particular, the company has removed the perimeter housing, and now all the camera sensors of these phones have emerged directly into the body, which provides it with a better and different look. Other than this, Samsung has used recycled material in the S23 devices’ manufacturing, which makes the series even more valuable.

- Crafted in black, light blue, mint, peach, silver shadow, white, and yellow.
The executive stated that the light green and silver shades will be marketed as mint and silver shadow. However, these color variants are already found on the Galaxy Z Flip 5. It will be interesting to see whether Samsung will adopt a darker or lighter hue on the Flip 6.
The Crafted Black, Peach, and White choices are expected to be available in specific regions or in limited quantities. Notably, the lavender/purple color, which has been a staple on the Z Flips, is missing. Jumping on the Galaxy Z Fold 6, so the color options are still similar as previously reported. But here’s the catchable fact: Dark Blue will be marketed as Navy and Silver as Silver Shadow. A new light pink has also appeared, along with low-volume colors like black and white.
Apart from the color options, the reports also revealed that Samsung could continue to offer the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6 in two variants based on storage:
- 256 GB and 512 GB storage options.
Finally, the Galaxy C series is officially back in existence as Samsung, without any noise, announced the Galaxy C55 model.
Samsung debuted its Galaxy C55 device without even receiving any notification, although at the moment, the device is listed only on Samsung China’s official website. The Galaxy C series is not the latest one, since the giant used to launch smartphones under the C series but suddenly the series vanished away, and now it’s back in the market with the Galaxy C55, initially in China.
Apart from the announcement of the device, Samsung has not revealed any details regarding price or availability.
The Galaxy C55 has now officially debuted in China, which means that it will soon go on sale and also be available in other regions. The info stated that the Galaxy C55 will be available for purchase in China for:
- 8GB RAM + 256GB internal storage = 1,999 Yuan (nearly $275).

Samsung’s new Fan Edition, ‘Galaxy S24 FE’ Is driving in the developing phase and will soon take the floor.
Samsung Galaxy fans, especially those who prefer affordable models but have a high-end specialty, should get ready for the next iteration since the brand has already started working on the Galaxy S24 FE. On the other hand, the Giants are already close to debuting the next-generation foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July.
Although, at the moment, the exact details regarding this smartphone have not come into existence yet, a well-trusted source, GalaxyClub, a trusted source for Samsung leaks, unveiled that the Korean giant is cooking up a new smartphone codenamed R12.
We expect this codename is for the Galaxy S24 FE, since following the pattern of the previous FE model’s codename also appeared the same; for instance, S20 FE – R8, S21 FE – R9, S23 FE – R11, and now this S24 FE – R12.
The giant debuted the Galaxy S23 FE last year in October, so following that schedule, the Galaxy S24 FE could also arrive in October.
Apart from the codename, nothing more has been revealed regarding the phone, but it was previously reported that the Galaxy S24 FE could feature a bigger display as compared to its predecessor, which is expected to have a 6.7-inch panel. The giant could power the Galaxy S24 FE with the Exynos 2400 or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
