Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra Prices Leaked
At the Galaxy Unpacked Event 2023, on February 1st, the South Korean firm Samsung will unveil this year’s first biggest smartphone series Galaxy S23. All three devices of this series- Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra, no longer need an introduction because nearly every detail of them has been rumored or leaked so far, excluding their prices. Recently the prices have also been leaked, so let’s look at them.
Recently, the well-known tipster SnoopyTech shared a screenshot of Galaxy S23’s price configuration, which seems to belong to the American telecommunication conglomerate Verizon. In this screenshot, the price and major specs of DM1, DM2, and DM3 devices, which resemble Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra devices, are included. Her ‘DM’ basically refers to the Galaxy S23’s development projects’ names.
As per this screenshot, the DM1 device, which is Galaxy S23 (base model) will cost a total of 799.99$, the DM2 device (Galaxy S23+) will 999.99$, and the DM3, the top-of-the-line Galaxy S23 Ultra device will cost 1,199.99$. Informatively, these prices are the full retail price of these devices, and because the screenshot belongs to Verizon, there are high chances of them being correct but maybe for the US market only.
For those who are unaware, this series will offer you four color choices- Phantom Black, Cream, Green, and Lavender. All three of them have two RAM and Storage variants as well, 8GB+128GB/256GB for the Galaxy S23 (base model), 8GB+256GB/512GB for S23+, and 8GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB for the S23 Ultra device. Additionally, all of them have an over 6 inches HD+ display, QHD+ for the Ultra, and FHD+ for the remaining two.

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.
