Samsung is getting ready for the Galaxy Unpacked launch event which is scheduled to take place on February 1. The star of the show will definitely be the Galaxy S23 Ultra, however, the vanilla Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S23 Plus will also be debuting with impressive specs and features. So, let’s take a closer look at these two non-Ultra models to see what Samsung has in store for us.

Design & Display

Design-wise, there won’t be much of a difference between the two devices, however, the Plus model will obviously be a bit bigger. Both devices will feature a flat back design paired with a triple camera setup, with the lenses directly protruding from the frame. This is the same design language featured in previous Ultra variants of the flagship Samsung smartphones, and now its finally making its way to the vanilla and Plus models.

The right side houses the volume rocker and power buttons, and there is no sign of a Bixby button on both of these devices. Both the Galaxy S22 & the S22 Plus come with a 6.1 & 6.6-inch Infinity-O display with a small centered cutout for the front camera. Both of these panels offer FHD+ (2,340 x 1,080) resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. The pixel density is 425 PPI and a Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protects the display. The display’s refresh rate can fluctuate dynamically between 48 Hz and 120 Hz. There are evenly slim bezels going around the devices that make them quite pleasant to look at.

Samsung

Both the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset powering them. What’s surprising and a cause for celebration is that all regions will be getting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-equipped models this time around. These phones will have different-sized batteries, with the smaller model featuring a 3,900 mAh unit, while the Plus model will be equipped with a 4,700 mAh battery. The smaller model has support for 25 W wired and 10 W wireless charging, while the Plus model is said to feature 45W fast charging support.

The cameras in the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ will be inherited from their predecessors. A 50 MP primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture, a 23 mm focal length, an 85° field of view, and dual-pixel PDAF and OIS will be aided by a 10 MP telephoto lens with a 36-degree field of view, a 69 mm focal length, and a 3x optical zoom, as well as a 12 MP ultra-wide angle lens with a 120-degree field of view and a 13 mm focal length. The 12 MP front-facing camera can take photos and videos in HDR10+ and at high-definition 4K 60 frames per second. On the other hand, the main camera is capable of taking videos in up to 8K 30 FPS.

The Galaxy S23 will feature 128 GB or 256 GB of storage, whereas the Galaxy S23+ will have 256 GB or 512 GB. Both smartphones will have 8 GB of RAM. Black, cotton, green, purple, and are the four color options for both.

Expected pricing

According to leaks, the Galaxy S23 will cost €959 for the 8GB + 128GB config and €1019 for the 8GB + 256GB version in France. In a similar vein, the Galaxy S23 Plus 8GB + 256GB configuration will set you back €1219, while the 512GB storage model will set you back €1339.
