In addition to the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra was also launched this morning with better specifications and a design that looks more premium. If the S23 and S23+ receive a new Floating Camera design, the S23 Ultra receives a more boxy body on the side.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is still equipped with a 6.8″ Dynamic AMOLED 120HZ FHD+ screen that supports an HDR10+ display of the LTPO type that can lower the refresh rate up to 1Hz. There is also a Vision Booster system that ensures the image remains clear in any level of screen brightness. The S Pen stylus can be used on the screen by placing it in a built-in storage space under the device.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 For Galaxy chip is used paired with 12GB LPDDR5X memory, up to 1TB UFS 4.0 storage and a 5000 mAh battery that supports a 45W fast charger. Wireless charging can be done with 15W power and vice versa with 4.5W power. No increase in battery capacity or charging has been done this year.
The body still has IP68 waterproof and dustproof capabilities. In terms of shock resistance, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is used on the front and back of the device. According to Corning, this glass can withstand shock if dropped from a height of up to 2 meters.
The main camera consists of a 200MP ISOCELL HP2 wide-angle lens, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle, a 10MP telephoto up to 3X optical and a 10MP telephoto up to 10x optical and 100 digital. On the front, a 12MP camera is used for selfies instead of 40MP like on the S22 Ultra.
According to Samsung, the giant 200MP sensor is capable of producing sharper, clearer, less noise and better color images. It replaces the 108MP sensor used last year. In the past Nightography became a backup but this year Astrophotography became an attraction.
With just a tripod, all S23 Ultra users can take beautiful and clear sky photos. The Expert RAW application has also been improved with the ability to take photos at a larger 50MP resolution.
The One UI 5.1 operating system based on Android 13 is used this time with it adding more diverse lock screen customization features, combinable widgets and enhanced security. The color options are Phanton Black, Green, Cream and Lavender. The selling price of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in Malaysia is
