Should Galaxy S22 Ultra users buy Galaxy S23 Ultra?
The launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone is just a couple of weeks away from now. The company has already started pre-reserving the device so you can get your new phone before anyone else. The S23 Ultra is worth upgrading as it has lots of advancements, but should Galaxy S22 Ultra users also buy this phone?
Of course, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is coming with upgrades over the current Galaxy S22 Ultra but just a few. Samsung is bringing the same design for the new models, there are only slight changes in the camera ring on the rear side.

The biggest change that the new phone is getting is the 200MP primary camera. The Galaxy S22 Ultra comes with a 108MP camera that delivers great picture quality. Other than this, the front-facing camera is also changed, the new 12MP selfie camera replaces the current 40MP shooter.

And, if we talk about new camera features, the S23 Ultra is likely to bring Nightography mode in Video and selfie camera as well as a new AstroHyperlapse feature. However, these could also reach the S22 Ultra through the One UI 5.1 upgrade.
Moving ahead, another change is obviously the processor. The Galaxy S22 Ultra has Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 chipsets whereas, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will come with a Galaxy-exclusive Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset all over the world.
The reset other compartments like display, battery, charging, storage variants, S-Pen, and more are almost the same as the S22 Ultra. You can read a related Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy S23 Ultra comparison story for detailed information, linked here.
Should Galaxy S22 Ultra users buy Galaxy S23 Ultra?
I have mentioned the similarities and differences between both these Ultra models and I think by now you must have understood whether you should buy Galaxy S23 Ultra or not if you are already owning Galaxy S22 Ultra.
I don’t think there are so many changes in the upcoming phone compared to the S22 Ultra that you should buy it. If you get a good value for it in trade-in then you can consider buying it, even then I would say it will be a waste of money just to get a 200MP camera over the already excellent 108MP camera.
Samsung has reportedly postponed the Galaxy F55 5G’s launch in India. New information suggests that the company will now reveal its new Galaxy smartphone on May 27. Meanwhile, all key specs have been revealed, with pricing remaining the mystery now.
Previously, Samsung confirmed the Galaxy F55 5G India launch for May 17 (today). While the official debut has now been delayed by 10 days, the company has listed the device with all the key specifications and features, while keeping the price unannounced.
Samsung’s F55 5G matches the specifications of the M55 5G and the design of the C55 5G. It sports a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s equipped with Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
There’s a triple rear camera arrangement on the back, consisting of a 50MP main, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro sensor. For selfies and video calling, the Galaxy F55 5G packs a 50MP snapper, which is surprisingly a big deal in the segment.
Powered by a 5,000mAh battery, it supports fast charging up to 45W. It’s slated to get four years of Android + One UI upgrades and five years of security patches. Featuring a Vegan Leather design on the back, it will be available in two different shades: Raisin Black and Apricot Crush.

Vivo X100 Ultra is officially launched to challenge Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with a 200MP Periscope camera. Specs-wise, this smartphone outpaces Samsung’s latest Galaxy S24 Ultra in terms of imaging capabilities, thanks to the custom Periscope sensor.
The new Vivo X100 Ultra comes with a 1-inch Sony LYT-900 main camera, and a 200MP periscope camera leveraging the 1/1.4″ ISOCELL HP9 sensor co-developed with Samsung. It’s notably the largest telephoto sensor fitted on a phone to date.
The Periscope introduces f/2.67 aperture and an 85mm equivalent focal length. Following its collaboration, Vivo brought Zeiss T* coating and Zeiss APO certification to the X100 Ultra, as part of delivering improved clarity and less fringing at contrast edges.
This monstrous zoom camera brings up to 3.7x optical zoom and 20% improved light sensitivity. Its telephoto macro (a.k.a. telemacro) mode offers 20x magnification. The company also introduced its BlueImage algorithm which was in development for eight years.
X100 Ultra’s 50MP main camera uses a 1/0.98” LYT-900 sensor with f/1.75 aperture and 23mm focal length. It also supports up to 4K 120fps video recording and Dolby Vision support. Besides, the 3rd lens is a 14mm equivalent ultrawide with a 1/2″ 50MP LYT-600 sensor.
Galaxy S24 Ultra…
The Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with a quad rear camera setup. The module consists of an advanced 200MP primary sensor – ISOCELL HP2, an ultrawide camera, a 10MP Telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP Periscope with 5x optical zoom.
As the periscope camera is co-developed by Samsung, quality shouldn’t be questioned. This year’s Samsung flagship is equipped with a new 50MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom. However, the 200MP periscope sounds pretty capable and powerful over S24 Ultra’s.
