Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra : Everything Leaked So Far!

Ahead of the official launch of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, key details and specifications of Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone have leaked!

Boosted Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will use a specially-boosted variant of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile SoC, which features a quad-cluster architecture:

• 1 x Arm Cortex-X3 core (3.36 GHz, instead of 3.2 GHz)
• 2 x Arm Cortex-A715 cores (2.8 GHz)
• 2 x Arm Cortex-A710 cores (2.8 GHz)
• 3 x Arm Cortex-A510 cores (2.0 GHz)

Here is a quick comparison between the boosted Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile SoC used in the Galaxy S22 Ultra:

Specifications	Galaxy S23 Ultra	Galaxy S22 Ultra
Mobile SoC	Snapdragon 8 Gen 2	Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
CPU Clusters	4	3
CPU Cores	1 x Cortex-X3 (3.36 GHz) 2 x Cortex-A715 (2.8 GHz) 2 x Cortex-A710 (2.8 GHz) 3 x Cortex-A510 (2.0 GHz)	1 x Cortex-X2 (3.0 GHz) 3 x Cortex-A710 (2.5 GHz) 4 x Cortex-A510 (1.8 GHz)
GPU	Qualcomm Adreno 740	Qualcomm Adreno 730

200 MP Main Camera

Arguably the biggest upgrade in the Galaxy S23 Ultra is its new main camera, which is built around the 200 MP Samsung ISOCELL HP2 (S5KHP2) sensor, and features a slightly wider f/1.7 aperture.

This is a large 1/1.3-inch sensor with 200 million pixels, each of which is 0.6 μm in size. The Galaxy S23 Ultra camera will be able to combine up to 16 pixels to form a single large pixel – a pixel binning technique called Tetra2pixel.

The number of pixels binned will vary according to the photography conditions. In low-light conditions, up to 16 pixels can be combined to create a large 2.4 μm pixel, for a 12.5 MP photo.

On top of that, the new Samsung ISOCELL HP2 sensor also offers better auto-focus performance in low-light conditions through Super QPD autofocus. By using all 200 million pixels, which are physically grouped as four pixels under a single microns, the sensor can detect patterns in both vertical and horizontal directions for faster low-light focusing.

Similar Telephoto + Wide-Angle Cameras

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will reuse the same 3X and 10X zoom cameras from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, right down to their Sony IMX754 sensors.

The ultra-wide angle camera gets a newer sensor – the Sony IMX564, which appears to be an incremental upgrade of the S22 Ultra’s IMX563.

Colour Options

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphones will come in four colour options:

• Botanic Green
• Cotton Flower
• Misty Lilac
• Phantom Black

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra : Prices + Offers Leaked So Far!

Sadly, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will be significantly more expensive than last year’s Galaxy S22 Ultra!. Here are the leaked prices for Europe:

Models	Variant	Launch Prices	Premium Over S22 Models
Galaxy S23 Ultra	8 GB + 256 GB 12 GB + 512 GB	€1399/1409 €1589	NA + €139

While the increased price may be disappointing, Samsung will potentially boost pre-order sales by offering a free upgrade to the next storage variant.

For example, if you pre-order the Galaxy S23 Ultra with 256 GB storage, you will get the 512 GB variant instead. This is based on a leak on the Samsung UK Business portal that states:

This free upgrade will only be offered for the pre-order period, and is essentially a 10% discount on the price of the higher-capacity model.
