Samsung Galaxy S23 series: All you need to know
All three share almost the same design language. They feature vertically aligned camera sensors with LED flash and there is no camera module bump that we saw in the earlier S21 series. As for the screen, they feature a vibrant AMOLED display. The S23 Plus and S23 versions have flat display panels and the S23 Ultra features a curved display panel, which kind of cascades towards the mid-frame, but the working display stays flat and helps avoid accidental triggering of apps on the side.
They also boast the Adaptive Vision Booster feature that ensures the display is well-lit and the objects on the screen come off as vibrant and rich in all lighting conditions.

One of the most notable aspects of the new Galaxy S23 series is that Samsung, for the first time ever, has closely worked with Qualcomm to develop the custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 that is exclusive to its premium phones. It promises to deliver faster and enhanced CPU performance by up to 34 per cent over its predecessor. Also, it offers a 22 per cent improvement in terms of battery life.
Additionally, the new Galaxy S23 series comes with a bigger Vapor cooling chamber for better heat dissipation during heavy-duty tasks such as recording 8K videos or playing graphics-intensive games.
The biggest upgrade we see in the Galaxy S23 series is the camera, particularly in the S23 Ultra. The latter comes with a 200MP wide camera. And, it promises to deliver an excellent night mode and low-light photography experience.
Further, for the first time, Samsung is introducing Astrophoto mode that can offer exceptionally good photos of the night sky.
