Samsung’s latest trio of flagship S23 series smartphones has been unveiled, marking the first major new handset release of the year and the emergence of another true competitor to the iPhone 14 and the Pixel 7. It isn’t a big overhaul from last year, but you’re getting a speedy new processor, better cameras and a refined design.

The line-up contains the standard Galaxy 23, a slightly larger S23+ and the powerful S23 Ultra, which has a built-in stylus, a 200-megapixel (MP) camera and the largest battery of the three. Pre-orders are open now, via the Samsung store and network providers and UK retailers including Sky Mobile, Currys, EE, and Amazon.

Samsung S23 series: what’s new?

The changes from the previous S22 generation are subtle across all three of the new smartphones – with the biggest design change being the removal of a camera bump on the rear of the devices. Screen sizes are the same as last year’s models (6.1-inch, 6.6-inch and 6.8-inch), and they all retain the 120Hz refresh rate. The Ultra has the most unique aesthetic of the bunch– with an S-pen slotting into the bottom of the frame so you can use it as a mini tablet – yes, much like the Galaxy Fold 4.

So, the major upgrades are mostly happening inside. The S23 Ultra has the biggest battery (5,000mAh capacity compared to the S23’s 3,900mAh) but that’s not too surprising as it needs extra juice to handle the large display and offer the enhanced performance and speed that’s expected of the most expensive flagship. The Ultra is the only model to get a 1TB option (only available via the Samsung website) and a 200MP camera, upgraded from the 108MP shooter of the S22 Ultra.

The S23 and S23+ updates are fairly minimal – each coming with a 50 MP camera sensor – but we always appreciate the inclusion of a better selfie camera and larger battery capacity, plus the inclusion of the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip means that the performance should remain speedy when you’re opening apps or gaming. The camera bump on the back of the devices has now been totally removed, with the three circular lenses now blending seamlessly into the rear casing. We’ll be putting all of these specs to the test in our full hands-on reviews coming later this month.
