At its Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung announced its flagship Galaxy S23 and S23+. These have the same flat displays as the previous models, but both have a brightness of up to 1750 nits.
The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 powers both Galaxy smartphones. It has a clock speed of 3.36GHz. It is much faster than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 clock speed of 3.2GHz utilised in other smartphones. There are no Exynos versions available, and the vapour chamber cooling is now available on both versions.
The phones have an Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner on the display and run Android 13 with OneUI 5.1. The phone has triple rear cameras, but no cut-outs this time. These smartphones have an Armor Aluminum frame and are the first to have the new Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and rear.
Coming to the camera specs, the S23 and S23+ are equipped with a 50-megapixel Dual Pixel primary sensor with OIS, a 12-megapixel Ultra Wide Lens with a field of view of 120 degrees, and a 10-megapixel Telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. These devices also have a new 12-megapixel Dual Pixel front-facing camera with an AI object-aware engine. These cameras can also shoot 8K video. Both devices are driven by innovative VDIS technology. It reduces vibrations and ensures smooth, crisp footage even when moving.
