Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Reigns Supreme Among Mobile Gaming Enthusiasts
The Galaxy S23 Ultra, which was unveiled by Samsung in the first half of the year, is actually the most popular smartphone for on-the-go gaming, as per recent USwitch research. Interestingly, despite having gaming features particularly tailored for mobile gamers, not a single gaming smartphone from brands like RedMagic or the ASUS ROG Phone 7 Ultimate surprisingly made it into the top 10 list. Given their widespread use, it is not surprising that Samsung smartphones make up the majority of the top 10 devices. Samsung’s flagship models occupy the highest ranks, with Apple’s most recent flagship iPhone 15 Pro Max taking 6th place.
Samsung’s flagships that made the top 10 list:
- The Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G secured rank 1 on the list.
- Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 are positioned at rank 3.
- Galaxy A23 5G at Number 5
- The Galaxy S23+ shared the number 6 spot with the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
- The Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy S20 FE 2022 occupied the eighth place on the list.
Why is the number of Galaxy devices on the list so high? Are Galaxy devices the best for gaming?
There are no gaming cell phones among the top 10 lists, which raises questions about the study’s true veracity. Especially the Galaxy devices that are mentioned in the list or the smartphones that were particularly designed for gaming purposes. Is the list even true? How do we accept that these devices can contribute greatly to gaming? With the help of a website called CompareDial, USwitch claims to have determined which smartphones are the most popular in the UK. From there, it analyzes each device’s specifications, assigns a score to each, and then averages the results to get the ranking.

Contrary to common belief, the smartphones displayed are not necessarily used for gaming, even if they may be the most purchased smartphones in the UK. In addition, this year’s Sensor Tower research emphasizes that the United States, Japan, China, South Korea, and Taiwan have the highest concentration of mobile gamers.
Samsung has kept the same battery capacity for the flagship devices while also sticking to the same fast charging speed. If we look at the Galaxy S Ultra devices from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the company has stuck with 45 W charging and the same 5000 mAh battery. According to the latest report, the Galaxy S25 Ultra may also use the same battery and specifications.
Previous, it was rumored that the Galaxy S24 Ultra could be equipped with stacked battery technology, which could lead to maximizing the component cost, but now, according to an X user named Sawyer Galox, it is reported that the Korean giant will skip this hardware change on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra to save on component cost.
Along with this, the tipster also expressed his disappointment with Samsung’s take on the unchained hardware. He adds that users who want to buy the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra should keep their expectations low with the battery performance, as Samsung will keep the specs the same with the 500mAh battery and the 45W.
However, the company will also introduce its latest device with new chipsets that may provide improved optimization, which may provide some long-lasting battery life, but it will not provide any improvement in charging.
Samsung is preparing to introduce its next-generation foldable device, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, given that the new smartphones in the Z lineup typically launch between July and August, some rumors suggest that the company might host the next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, 2024. Despite the date being more than three months away, numerous details have surfaced online.
According to recent reports, Samsung plans to implement its dual chipset strategy for the foldable, mirroring the Galaxy S series lineup, where some models of the Galaxy S base and Galaxy S+ devices feature Snapdragon, while in other markets, they feature Exynos.
The next foldable lineup rumoured to come with multiple chipsets; for example, the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s last Geekbench listing showed that it has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. However, this processor is already one year old, so there are fewer expectations that it could be available in the main models. However, if a rumor proves to be accurate, it could potentially be available for the FE variant of the devices.
For your information, the rumors have revealed that Samsung could introduce two new versions of the foldable devices with the brand names ‘FE’ and ‘Ultra‘, so to make the difference, it may introduce them in separate chipsets. If it provides the older chipset for the FE version, then it will be successful in cost-cutting and releasing the device at a low cost.
Following the successful launch of the Galaxy S24 flagship device, several rumors have started circulating on the internet. Now, according to the latest development, there is a new listing coming in the highlight, which means the phone is under development and will be available on the market soon.
Some reports suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE, currently under development under the code name R12, could make its market debut in late 2024. Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE will initially be available in limited markets before potentially launching globally in 2024.
The Internet has also surfaced some rumored specs of the S24 FE, revealing several details about the device, including a 6.1-inch AMOLED display, 128 GB and 256 GB of RAM, and 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It might have a 4500 mAh battery for power backup.
Samsung hasn’t officially revealed anything about the Galaxy S24 FE’s features or release date yet. However, a listing in a UK carrier database suggests this phone – known for offering flagship specs at a lower price – is coming soon.
