The excitement surrounding Samsung Electronics’ upcoming 2023 launch of its first premium smartphones is building daily. The first significant smartphone event of the new year will be the launch of the Galaxy S23 series and the much-awaited Fold 5 by the largest mobile phone maker in the world next month.
There have been numerous leaks and rumors about what to anticipate. In any case, we expect Samsung to create a significant impression and launch yet another eventful year for the most well-known product in the sector of consumer electronics.
Samsung Galaxy S23 and Fold 5 expected specs and details
Samsung is expected to offer 256GB of base storage, double the available space for entry-level users, which is a huge anticipation for the Galaxy S23. The S23 and S23+ will probably only be available in one configuration from Samsung: 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There were 128GB or 256GB storage options for the Galaxy S22 & S22+, but it’s unclear if Samsung will also provide a 512GB variant for these devices. According to sources, the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s primary camera will have a 200MP resolution, nearly twice as many megapixels as the 108MP featured in the Ultra editions of the S20, S21, and S22. Additionally, Samsung intends to equip the Galaxy S23 series with a “cooling system.” The systems employed on the S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra will be 1.6 times, 2.8 times, and 2.3 times superior to those used on its predecessors.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, or perhaps the Snapdragon 8 plus Gen 2 if Qualcomm decides to release an improved model in the middle of the year once more. Of course, since it’s a multi-tasking device, Samsung will give it as much RAM as possible; we anticipate at least 12 GB.
Is the Galaxy S23 going to have a folding variant too?
We might have bad news if you are hyped about the folding variant of the upcoming Galaxy S23. It’s doubtful that Samsung will launch the S23 in a folding variant too. The main reason for this is that Samsung’s Fold series, a dedicated segment of foldable phones, is already doing well in the market, and introducing other premium devices, such as the upcoming Galaxy S23 with folding capability, will hurt the business of both phones.
