Samsung is expected to soon launch its next-generation of flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S23 series. This lineup is expected to break cover in January or February 2023 and will likely consist of the Galaxy S22, the S22+, and the S22 Ultra.
Out of the three, the vanilla Galaxy S23 is expected to be the compact offering in the lineup. This device has now appeared on Geekbench, revealing some of its specs as well as its CPU performance. So, let’s take a look at the listing.
According to the listing, the Samsung Galaxy S23 will have an SM-S911U model number. This model is likely the US variant of the device. The device has a motherboard codenamed Kalama, and an SoC which features a prime core clocked at 3.36GHz, four cores clocked at 2.80GHz, and three efficiency cores clocked at 2.02GHz. The chipset also has the Adreno 740 GPU onboard, making it pretty clear that this is the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip.
Paired with the SoC is 8GB of RAM and Android 13. We can expect the 8GB RAM model to come with 128GB storage, while a 12GB RAM model will likely feature 256GB storage. Moving on to the benchmark results, the Galaxy S23 scores 1524 points on the single-core test and 4597 points on the multi-core test of Geekbench 5. Going by these results, it appears that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip will not be offering any major improvements in CPU performance over the existing Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip.
Other specifications about the phone have also leaked. According to sources, the Galaxy S23 series would be available in Beige, Black, Green, and Light Pink colors. The S23 will have a 6.1-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. It will have three cameras, including a 50MP primary camera. A 12MP ultrawide camera and a 10MP telephoto camera will also be included. The phone will have a 12MP front camera for selfies. The device will mostly be the same as the existing Galaxy S22, but it could come with a bigger battery compared to the 3,700mAh battery on the S22.
