Samsung Galaxy S23 series is just around the corner and while we wait, some interesting information about the standard Galaxy S23 has appeared online. A new report by a popular leakster suggests that the cheapest version of the vanilla model will be equipped with a slower storage technology than the rest of the members in the series. This suggests the brand is going to put a stronger focus on the higher storage models in the future.

The information comes through leakster Ice Universe, who is known for his accurate Samsung-related leaks. Ice says that the 128GB variant of the Galaxy S23 will be equipped with a slower UFS 3.1 technology. The rest of the models— 256GB and 512GB— will likely flaunt the latest UFS 4.0 storage. While there’s not much difference in the performance of both technologies, it shows Samsung is trying to create more differentiation between vanilla and higher-end models.

The 128GB Galaxy S23 will, however, come with the LPDDR5X RAM like other models in the series. The Cat says Samsung is not planning to manufacture 128 GB UFS 4.0 this year. It’s probably because the Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra will only be available with 256/512GB storage. Apparently, only Japanese manufacturer Kioxia produces 128 GB UFS 4.0 units, but they offer no notable performance improvements compared to Samsung’s UFS 3.1 modules.

The Galaxy S23 is expected to arrive with a 6.1-inch Infinity-O display offering FHD+ (2,340 x 1,080) resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, the handset could pack a 3,900mAh with 25W charging. There will likely be a 50MP primary camera, a 10MP telephoto lens, and a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle unit. The front could feature a 12MP selfie camera.
