Launched back in February 2020, Galaxy S20 Ultra is a great flagship smartphone from Samsung. For daily usage, the S20 Ultra still feels rock solid, but the software part is about to end with One UI 5.1. Well, it’s the right time to buy Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, especially for the S20 Ultra users.
Samsung is going to launch the Galaxy S23 series next month, with the S23 Ultra will have a pretty big camera upgrade. The device will also have striking software upgrade support including 4 Android + security patches until February 2027.

Here are the top five reasons to upgrade your Galaxy S20 Ultra to S23 Ultra:
Software support
Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 series with Android 10-based One UI 2.1 out of the box. The Galaxy S20 device received three major OS upgrades, while the company is still committed to bringing two years of more security patches. The S23 Ultra runs Android 13 out of the box and will have satisfying support!
S Pen
Galaxy S20 Ultra is a powerful smartphone, but, it lacks S Pen support, which is an iconic feature. Samsung brought it to the Galaxy S21 Ultra as an external accessory, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra has a dedicated silo. If you consider buying the S23 Ultra, the S Pen feature will come along.
Camera
Let’s have a quick look at the camera hardware changes:
S20 Ultra Vs S23 Ultra
- Primary Camera: 108MP → 200MP
- Wideangle Camera: 12MP → 12MP
- Telephoto (1) Camera: 48MP → 10MP (10x optical zoom)
- Depth/Telephoto (2) Camera: 0.3MP → 10MP (3x optical zoom)
- Selfie Camera: 40MP → 12MP (Dual Pixel)
Some sensors of the Galaxy S23 Ultra seem downgraded in megapixels, but practically, there are notable improvements in the camera capability. The 200MP primary and 12MP front camera sensors are newcomers here, which reportedly perform pleasingly.

- Protection:

Here are the “Reserve” benefits
Samsung started the reservation of the Galaxy S23 series ahead of launch. If you reserve for S23, you will be getting a $50 Samsung Credit along with enhanced trade-in values, 0% APR Financing Pay in 4σ, free and easy returns, in-store pickup, Samsung Care+ and the opportunity to grab exclusive colors.
The US variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. There were reports that Samsung may expand the Exynos chipset to its foldable lineup, which doesn’t seem to be happening, at least in the United States.
Recently, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US variant was spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon chip. It isn’t surprising as the company is following its conventional chipset strategy. We expect that it will be the same chipset used in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.
The Flip 6 smartphone scored 15084 points on Geekbench’s GPU test. Due to its foldable form factor, the device may miss a Galaxy S24-like larger cooling technology. Still, its impressive 15000+ points in the GPU test indicates that Samsung has greatly optimized the software.
The company still has three months remaining in the launch event. More performance improvements will likely be achieved before the Unpacked. The South Korean tech giant will likely unveil the next-gen foldable phones in mid-July.
This year, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra would join the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. In addition, an affordable variant of Fan Edition branding is also in development. However, the cheaper foldable would miss some pro-grade specs to maintain the price.

Google‘s Pixel 9 series is ready to introduce a significant upgrade with emergency satellite connectivity and new Samsung modem. This series aims to solve the persistent connectivity problems seen in previous Pixel models.
According to the information via AndroidAuthority, Samsung Modem 5400 will be integrated with Tensor G4 chips for the Pixel 9 series to bring significant improvements in terms of speed, power efficiency, and stability
The Pixel 9’s modem will support 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN), which means it will enable satellite-based communication. This is particularly important for emergencies where standard network coverage is unavailable.
Moreover, this innovative feature is not exclusive to the Pixel 9. The next-generation Pixel Fold and a 5G tablet, currently under development, will also be equipped with the same modem.
One of the most notable features of this upgrade is the ability to connect with emergency services via satellite, which is crucial for users in areas without cellular coverage. To facilitate this, Google has implemented a system that guides users through a set of questions, allowing for quick communication with emergency responders. For example,
- What happened?
- [Are you/Are they/Is everyone] breathing?
- In total, how many people are [missing/trapped]?
- What best describes your situation?
- What is on fire?
- Are there weapons involved?
Although the release details for the 5G tablet are still unclear, the Pixel 9 series is expected to lead the way in mobile communication technology, ensuring users can remain connected in any location.
