Samsung’s S series is their ultimate flagship series of smartphones. The new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is one of the latest hits from Samsung. The smartphone, which comes with all the extreme specifications, is ideal for any kind of person. In this article, we shall discuss the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and its awesome specifications.

Performance:

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra runs on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. This octa-core CPU is based on 4 nm lithography which ensures that the CPU consumes very less power and produces less heat during extensive tasks.

The Adreno 740 GPU is embedded in this chipset. The GPU is designed to produce a smooth gaming experience. Even heavy games like Call of Duty, and PUBG can run smoothly on this GPU – even in high resolution.

Memory:

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with various options for internal storage and RAM. For RAM the available options are either 8 GB or 12 GB. And, for internal storage, multiple options are available – 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB. However, the available combination of RAM and internal storage are as follows –

8 GB RAM + 256 GB internal storage

12 GB RAM + 256 GB internal storage

12 GB RAM + 512 GB internal storage

12 GB RAM + 1 TB internal storage

Note that this smartphone doesn’t come with any memory card slot – which means that you can’t extend the memory of the device further with any external storage. So, if you love to make videos or simply need storage for various reasons, we would recommend you go with variants with more internal storage.

Cameras:

The cameras are one of the most prominent features of this smartphone.

The primary camera of this smartphone is a 200 MB camera with f/1.7 sartre. The size of the lens used in the camera is 24mm. This camera comes with multiple cool features like Optical Image Stabilization, Laser Auto Focus, etc.

Another important camera of this phone is a 10 MP periscope telephoto camera which gives an option for 10x optical zoom.

The next camera is a 12 MP ultrawide camera having an aperture of f/2.2. Though the camera has no OIS support, it has EIS support. The dynamic range of the camera is impressive.

The last camera of this smartphone is the 10 MP camera with a telephoto lens. The telephoto lens allows 3x optical zoom and offers support for ‘Dual Pixel PDAF’.

Talking about the low-light performance of the camera, the camera produces excellent pictures in even low-light. The details of the photos taken in low light are quite impressive even when the night mode of the camera is turned off.

If you turn on the night mode of the camera, you can get better photos – the photos taken with night mode turned on have more details.

But, sometimes the photos taken on the device with night enabled looks a bit over-processed. But, if you compare the quality of the photos taken using the night mode with the photos of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, you can see a clear improvement in the quality of the photos.

There is a 12 MP front camera embedded on the front side of the device. You can record Full HD videos with the front camera at 30 FPS. It is even capable of recording 4K videos at 30 frames per second, and even at 60 frames per second.

The resolution of the display is 1400×3088 pixels and it is protected with the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2’s protection which ensures that the display of this mobile phone will be more durable and more resistant to scratches.
