Samsung Galaxy S23 specs speak of incremental upgrades over the S22. Suppose you’ve been keeping up with the leaks. In that case, you’ll know that the Samsung Galaxy S23 is essentially a direct successor to the S22, sharing almost identical specifications with minor tweaks. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s performance was originally teased by a good Geekbench score yesterday.
However, it also revealed that the 2023 model, like 2022, 2021, and 2020 phones, would include 8GB of RAM. Is it past time for a boost to 12GB? Samsung disagrees (the S20 had a 12GB option, Samsung knows how well it sold). Yogesh Brar, the leaker, has provided a summary of the Galaxy S23’s specifications, and they all point to the same number: 8GB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage.
A 3,900mAh battery powers the latest model, making it more powerful than the S22 but not the S21 or S20 (both at 4,000mAh). The standard 25W wired and 15W wireless charging will be supported. In particular, with their more compact versions, both Samsung and Apple have been quite careful with the charging rates of their smartphones.

Next, the new phone will include a 50-megapixel primary camera (with optical image stabilization), a 12-megapixel ultra-wide and 10-megapixel telephoto shooter, and a 10-megapixel front-facing camera. That sounds identical to the S22 cameras. However, it may use different sensors and lenses. The upgraded chipset guarantees that fresh computation will be required.
Ultimately, the screen size of the phone will increase to 6.1 inches, but it will still be a non-LTPO 1,080 x 2,340 pixel Dynamic AMOLED 2X display. In any case, it seems to be the consensus among the rumors. Even if Ice Universe insists that the bezels will be thicker by just a few hundredths of a millimeter, that’s not the full picture.
Renders have shown that the design will be modified to resemble the S22 Ultra more closely (the S23 Ultra will look the same). We’ve also seen this trend in case design, where the camera “island” has been replaced with the lenses themselves protruding from the rear. The Galaxy S21 used the cameras from the S20 and installed them in a newly designed body.
The S22 has the same form factor and adds better cameras. We’re getting a fresh look with the same cameras, however. At least for the base and versions, this seems to be Samsung’s regular schedule for updating the Galaxy S series (the Ultras see bigger changes yearly). The only outstanding issue is whether the Exynos team has persuaded their colleagues to give them another go with the S23 series or if they will stick entirely with Snapdragon chipsets.
