The camera is the focus of the Ultra S23 model. With the company's most powerful phone processor yet, the camera can video at 8K resolution at 30 frames per second, whilst also taking in more light for brighter footage, and employing Super HDR technology. A suite of new camera options will allow for more choice in how you want your footage to look.

That's not all, the Ultra also includes a built-in pen to let you use it like a notebook straight out of the box.

The trio of models all feature improvements to the CPU and GPU to improve your phone's speed and performance, with Samsung toting that games especially will take advantage of the tech.

Samsung also stated that the improved battery will offset the performance increases and claimed that your phone will last longer before running out of juice compared to the previous models. All models also use more ocean-bound recycled plastics than before, too.
