Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra could be a massive hit of 2023
Android world will be getting new flagship smartphones this year. Xiaomi released its new phones, while, OnePlus scheduled an event on January 4th. Samsung, on the other hand, is preparing to lift the veil of the Galaxy S23 series (standard, Plus & Ultra) in early February 2023.
Rivals aside, Samsung fans and consumers who have skipped the iPhone 14 due to lack of innovation are waiting to see the Galaxy S23 lineup. In 2023, the Galaxy S23 phones, mostly the S23 Ultra, could become a big hit for Samsung worldwide.

Monster camera!
Since megapixel counts never matter when it comes to Samsung, the Galaxy S23 Ultra eventually be equipped with a 200MP sensor. Instead of using the existing ones, the company has developed a custom ISOCELL HP2 image sensor for the Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone.

For photography, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will surely have some exciting new features such as better portraits, night shots, and video stabilization. A high-resolution camera ensures details and colors of the subject are shot better with crispier details, without compromising with quality.
On the other hand, the software part will play a key role in upgrading the abilities of already used sensor in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. As reported, the 108MP camera will turn to 200MP while the other three sensors will remain the same; 12MP, 10MP and 10MP.
For selfies, there will be no 40MP front camera in the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which Samsung is replacing with a 12MP one. We don’t know any specific reason behind this change, but it looks like the company is reducing difference among all three models of the lineup.
Snapdragon everywhere!
Exynos chipsets badly disappointed consumers even with Samsung smartphones. The company’s own chipset brand didn’t become a tough competitor to Qualcomm and MediaTek due to which, the Galaxy S23 series will be shipped with only Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets.
Europe is one of the biggest markets for Galaxy devices and Samsung will surely be getting a great boost in sales, thanks to the decision of abandoning Exynos. Since the company delayed the launch of S22 FE and canceled the A74, there will be higher response for the Standard variant.
S Pen
S Pen is one of the biggest selling points of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which will also be applied to the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Last year, the company combined Note and S to create a hybrid smartphone with a great camera and Note design. This year, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will feature a further improved design and have usability increment.
Samsung has greatly reduced the latency of the S Pen on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which we assume to go down. It delivers experiences of original pen-paper writing on the Galaxy smartphone with the S Pen. Air Actions should also have new upgrades with the One UI 5.1.
Battery, charging
The Galaxy S23 Ultra could come with a 5000mAh battery with up to 45W fast charging support. On the other side, Chinese competitors are offering up to 150W fast charging support with their flagship smartphones. Samsung believes 45W is enough and reliable charging speed for this time, but, it must match rivals.
Faster battery charging might affect battery life, but, it doesn’t mean Samsung to stop innovation in that field. Since the 45W charging is expanding to S23 Plus, I guess future Galaxy devices might match competitors or have a charging speed boost at least.
What do you think about the Galaxy S23 Ultra? Could it be a massive hit in 2023? Let us know via social media!
Nowadays, smartphones are being heavily used for gaming and photography. Accordingly, phone makers are focussing more and more on upgrading the imaging capabilities and performance of chipsets. So why not, Samsung should now bring battery upgrade to Galaxy flagships.
Battery upgrade should be the next aim
The recently launched Galaxy S23 Ultra brings a high-profile 200-megapixel camera, allowing users to capture lossless shots, even when cropped. With great collaboration between hardware and software, the new Samsung flagships offer peace of mind to consumers, when it comes to battery life.
In addition to camera lovers, people prefer buying a smartphone, which offers great battery life without compromising features and power specifications. In the same way, Samsung is reportedly working, and there’s still room for improvements in flagships battery life.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra could come with a new battery technology inspired by electronic vehicles. The company is considering stacked battery technology for smartphones, which will reduce the size keeping the same mAh and enhanced lifespan.
Since the stacked battery tech could leave more gap inside the phone, Samsung might not think about increasing mAh on flagship phones. Instead, the company may use an additional vacant area for upgrading other hardware elements and better placement.
The S23 Ultra even defeated the years-old leader iPhone in terms of battery performance, thanks to the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy” processor. Exynos 2400 is reportedly coming to the S24 series in certain markets, which re-creates concern about the phone’s battery life and performance.
That said, Samsung should focus on increasing premium Galaxy phones’ battery life so users can use them longer with a single charge. 45W fast charging is doing quite well, just improvements to battery life would prove as cherry on the cake.

Tech industry is currently facing a global downturn, forcing companies to shut down businesses in hopeless markets. Promotion no longer remains the only way to sell more smartphones as consumers start comparing products on different aspects; reliability, security and software support.
Samsung, unquestionably meets the demands of consumers, thanks to its 4+5 strategy, ensuring longer Android OS and security updates support. The company is the biggest Android seller in the world, and of course leads the market too, beating rivals like Apple.
Since the Samsung 4+5 strategy still lags behind Apple, when it comes to software support, it is record-breaking in the Android segment. As vendors stop including pre-built charging adapters to reduce e-waste, the EU also mandated longer software support so consumers can keep using a phone longer.
“At Samsung, you get not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 times Android OS updates. And 5 years is a long time, so your palm-sized pal will be in good hands with new regular security patches.”
Software updates play a key role in continuing great smartphone experiences, as well as the releases come with new features and optimization. Android is open source and gets packed with numerous flaws, Google patches them through security releases every month.
Accordingly, Samsung rolls out monthly patches to a large number of Galaxy devices, which ensures the most reliable system and user data protection. Android OS usually gets a new version in the second half of every year, bringing new useful features and life-saving tools to consumers.
Samsung, with its amazing One UI, dominated the Android market. The custom skin is neat, clean, and intuitive, ensuring smoother and more stunning experiences on Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Google introduces 1 each year, but Samsung utilizes it thrice (x.0/x.1/x.1.1), cool enough?
Until the second half of 2020, Samsung supplied two OS updates to all Galaxy devices. Later, the company raised the bar of software and reached up to 3, matching the Android maker. With the S22 launch, the Korean tech giant promised to bring up to 4 OS and 5 years of patches to select Galaxy models.
Samsung One UI 6.0 will be the next big update for Galaxy smartphones and it will apparently bring a lot of new and unique features. Samsung enhances the Color Palette function with every major update, hopefully with One UI 6.0 the company will add something new to it.
Based on Android’s Material You theming, Samsung Color Palette offers various themes that sync with your current lock screen or home screen wallpaper. When you choose a color from the palette, your phone’s overall theme will be applied to menus, buttons, backgrounds, and apps.
When we change the wallpaper, the smartphone itself adapts to provide us with some palette and some basic color options related to the wallpaper.
But sometimes it happens that the color options that are given do not match our liking or we do not like to see them on our mobile. Well, Samsung also provides an option to disable the color palette feature, but if we want to apply a color palette of our choice!
At the moment it is not possible but can happen with the next major One UI update. Samsung should bring a Color Picker tool with One UI 6.0 for the Color Palette feature so that Galaxy users can choose a light, dark, or medium shade of their choice at their convenience.
Color Picker! This option allows you to pick desired color and shade from an image or a Color library. If the company brings the Color Picker tool with One UI 6.0 for Material You theming, then obviously it will be helpful for Galaxy users.

With the second Android 14 Developer Preview, Google brought the Material You contrast slider option, which lets users adjust the hue level of the theme color. It offers three options to choose from – Standard (the default appearance), High (significantly more contrast), and a Middle option that splits the difference.
