If Samsung Galaxy S23 prices do increase, then you should save every penny you can on the new phones. This is especially true if you have your eye on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, as this phone is unlikely to come cheap wherever you are.
The good news is that if you act fast, you can save money on the devices. The Galaxy S23 pre-order is still active, and the official Samsung website has a unique pre-registration promotion running that can save you $50 on one of the phones.
Just keep going Visit this page and fill out the Register Your Interest form (opens in new tab) to reserve a device. Not only will this secure you a spot in the queue, but you’ll also receive a $50 credit if you commit to pre-order once they go live later today.
But act fast: Pre-orders close an hour before the event starts, giving you around 8 hours to register at the time of writing.
Regardless of how many leaks there have been around the Galaxy S23 – and seriously, this thing leaked like a sieve – we don’t know everything about it yet.
For one, we don’t know how much it will cost. Smart Money (pun intended) says that in the US at least, all three models will retain the prices of the S22. If true, that would mean prices for the base variants are $799.99, $999.99, and $1,199.99, respectively.
Earlier this week, however, we heard rumors that the Galaxy S23 prices could increase in some countries – and significantly. Fingers crossed that’s not the case.
Good morning from the UK, picking up this live blog from my colleague Philip Berne whilst he gets some much needed sleep ahead of Unpacked later today.
Let’s start the day with the latest in a seemingly never-ending series of leaks surrounding the Galaxy S23 series. In this case, multiple images of the devices have surfaced after a Twitter user appeared to spot the phones on display in Chile.
The source, Dylan Xiton (opens in new tab), initially posted a video of the phones but that has now been removed. However, photos of the handsets are said to be visible below.
Of course I have an extra bunch of photos here, the Chilean mobile operator (Wom) said the phone would be released in Chile for 1 month, I was surprised to see on the shelf lmao pic.twitter.com/07ga0Ob9OPJanuary 31, 2023
The S23 Ultra in particular looks set to get more than just a higher-resolution camera than its predecessor, with an additional trio of key upgrades over the S22 Ultra anticipated in a feature by author James Rogerson.
For one thing, how about a powerful new chipset?
As Samsung fans found out at SamMobile earlier this month, the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus will come with new primary cameras with the same 50-megapixel resolution as last year’s model. The Galaxy S23 Ultra will ditch its predecessor’s 108MP sensor in favor of a new primary camera that rocks an impressive-sounding 200MP.
Not only that, the new devices capture photos in RAW format at up to 50MP instead of the previous 12MP limit. We’re also hearing about a feature that will help the camera capture hyperlapse video of the sky.
Camera editor Tim Coleman seems to think we should look past that 200-megapixel number for the S23 Ultra’s camera, saying in his deep dive into the sensor the phone is likely to use, “it’s more than just one gimmick”.
If one thing has become abundantly clear in the last few weeks of leaks, it’s that the S23-gen cameras aren’t messing around. This official video, posted less than ten days ago by Samsung, highlights the new phones’ low-light shooting abilities.
“Epic Nights Are Coming” might seem a bit ambiguous as a tagline, but we already have an idea as to why <ähem> could be the focus of the Galaxy S23’s camera experience.
An interesting tidbit that has emerged from the rumors is that every Galaxy S23 buyer will have the same color options no matter which Galaxy S model you choose. Whether you choose the entry-level device or spring for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, you can show off Samsung’s unique colors.
We’re expecting some interesting hues accompanied by Samsung’s interesting color branding. A misty lilac or a botanic green could be your go-to hue this season, whether you choose the enigmatic mid-range Galaxy S23 Plus or one of the other new phones.
We’re also expecting accessories to match the new colors, although we’ve yet to hear about new devices like earbuds in this year’s hues.
James Rogerson has even offered an in-depth summary of all the expected Galaxy S23 colors, which includes speculative renderings of how each color might look on different models.
Which is your favourite? Personally, I have a love-hate relationship with the Cotton Flower color.
As Samsung fans will already be aware, we are expecting three members of the Galaxy S23 lineup on February 1st: the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The leaked image of dummy units you see above (source: Sonny Dickson) echoes other leaks and rumors about the design direction Samsung is taking with this generation. Each device looks strikingly similar to the Galaxy S22 Ultra in shape.
This year’s S23 Standard and Plus models appear to ditch the Contour Cut camera module of the previous two generations of the Galaxy S phone in favor of something slimmer and sharper.
TechRadar Editor-in-Chief Marc McLaren did an in-depth look at the difference between the three expected models in our Samsung Galaxy S23 vs S23 Plus vs S23 Ultra comparison feature.
