**Samsung Galaxy S23 Series: A Powerful and Feature-Rich Handset**

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is set to hit the market, offering a powerful and feature-rich handset that's sure to impress. With its improved battery capacity, faster charging speeds, and upgraded display materials, this new series promises to be an upgrade over its predecessors.

**Battery Life and Charging Speeds**

One of the standout features of the S23 series is its battery life. The standard model boasts a higher battery capacity by 200 milliamp hours each, resulting in 3900, 4700, and 5000 milliamp hours respectively. Even if the S23 Ultra's battery remains the same at 5000mAh, Samsung claims it will last even longer thanks to more efficient organic materials used on its display as well as power efficiencies on the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip.

In terms of charging speeds, the S23 Plus and Ultra models have faster 45-watt charging, while the standard model has 25-watt charging. However, this is similar to last year's offerings, where the S23 had 40% battery life in 20 minutes, and the S23+ had 50%. For those interested in learning more about the charging speeds, a charge test video can be checked out.

**Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy**

The S23 series will be powered by a faster custom version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. While phones running the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 get up to 3.19 gigahertz of power, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy gets an additional acceleration of up to 3.36 gigahertz. This is not a different chip, but rather a custom version designed specifically for Samsung's handsets.

**Regional Availability and Storage Options**

Countries that used to get Exynos-powered S Series smartphones will now have phones powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon. Additionally, in the US, the base model S23 will come with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, while the S23 Plus and Ultra models start at 256GB.

The S23 Plus will also have a 512GB model, as well as two other variants with 12GB of RAM and either 512GB or 1TB of storage. The base model pricing is $799.99 for the S23, $999.99 for the S23+, and $1,199.99 for the S23 Ultra.

**Pre-Order Deals**

For those who pre-order an S23, S23 Plus, or S23 Ultra from Samsung's website, they'll receive a free upgrade to a higher storage model. For instance, if you pre-order the 256GB model, you'll automatically receive a 512GB model instead. Additionally, Samsung is offering a $100 credit on their website.

However, that's not all - using one of our links will give an extra $50 on top of the $100 credit, making it a grand total of $150 that can be used towards a future purchase or pre-ordering a Galaxy Book 3 Series. If you use those links to pre-order a new Galaxy Book model announced today, Samsung will also give you 10% off your order.

**Comparison and Recommendations**

In general, the S23 and S23 Plus are very similar phones - both are top-of-the-line, have excellent cameras, and the main difference is screen size. The S23 fits perfectly in my pocket and palm, while the S23 Plus has a bigger display and frame, as well as a larger battery and more storage options.

If you plan on taking a lot of notes or want to use the S Pen or additional 10x camera and space Zoom features, the S23 Ultra is the better choice. However, regardless of which model you choose, Samsung's Galaxy smartphone offers many unique benefits in the Android space, including four years of promised OS upgrades and five years of security updates.

**Final Thoughts**

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series promises to be an upgrade over its predecessors with improved battery life, faster charging speeds, and upgraded display materials. With its competitive pricing and various deals available, this new series is sure to be a hit among Android fans. Stay tuned for our upcoming 24-hour video and review video, where we'll dive deeper into the features and performance of the S23 series.

kind of user are you and which Samsung Galaxy s23 is right for you hi I'm Michael Josh your Gadget Matchmaker and over the last decade I've made it my job to show people around the world that Tech can be easy fun and exciting on this channel I give you special access to the products I review the events I attend and all the exciting people I get to meet along the way and most importantly I help you

of the three is right for you then keep these price tags in mind 799.99 9.99.99 and 1199.99 we'll revisit this later foreign with the Samsung Universe then these devices will look very similar to last year and even the year before that they have the same shape and size the biggest difference on the s23 and s23 plus versus last year's model is that the camera modules are not encased in what Samsung called Contour housing instead the camera is just protrude from the back of the phone just like on the ultra last year I kind of like the old one better I feel like this is lacking in design even if Samsung calls it a floating camera design the s23 ultra looks just like the s22 ultra unless you look closely while the s23 and s23 plus have flat displays the display on the s23 ultra has a curved or Edge screen but the angles don't slope as much allowing for more screen real estate for jotting down notes previously because of how the edges on the s22 Ultra curved so much it was hard to write when you got to the edges so this design tweak is very much welcome the other minor exterior change is a larger camera bump if you thought the s22 Ultras was large then you've got to see this one of course that's because the s23 series has all new camera sensors more on that later one last note on appearance this is the first year that the color options are consistent across the board so whether you're

how good of a driver you are driving especially at night comes with many threats which is why 70mi developed their own algorithms that automatically detect when danger is about to strike for example if Omni detects that someone gets suspiciously too close to the car while it's parked it can immediately start recording the same goes for vehicle collision so you don't have to worry about a hit and run if Omni detects an impact it will immediately start recording and thanks to that 360 degree protection it will automatically Point its cameras in the direction of the impact in New York streets are pretty congested so if your car gets too close to a car or a pedestrian in front or suddenly changes lanes while driving the Adas of omni will instantly send you an alert for safer driving of course none of these algorithms matter if camera quality isn't good it's actually impressive how much detail Omni can capture it's got a 140 degree field of view HDR a large F 1.5 aperture and it can record up to 60 frames per second both daytime and low light shots have good contrast and detail so if you ever need to use your driving footage as evidence omni's got you covered the 70 my dash cam Omni is available for pre-order at 70mi.store it comes in 32 64 and 128 gigabyte configurations I'll put all the links in the description box below like most high-end phones of late the camera bumps on the Galaxy s23 series are bigger than ever and that's because they are new and improved so let's talk about cameras first I know on paper it doesn't seem like anything new but learn this lesson spec sheets don't always tell you the complete story image sensors are new across the board so it's not just an improved ISP and and AI algorithms that are making your photos look great it's also some of the hardware that crucial part that collects light and converts it to images Samsung is promising four times more Dynamic Color range Optics or glass are the same a 50 megapixel F 1.8 wide lens a 12 megapixel F 2.2 Ultra wide and a 10 megapixel F 2.4 telephoto with three times optical zoom from expert raw mode which is a separate download users now have the ability to shoot in either 12 megapixels or use the full 50 megapixels of the sensor plus access to two new shooting modes Astro photo uses AI to fill in Stars vis-a-vis your position so that you can take great nighttime photos of the Sky With the Stars Above in full display and multi-exposures which lets you combine multiple shots for photos like this on the other hand the s23 ultra features a 200 megapixel main camera up from 108 megapixels last year all these additional pixels affords the phone its ability to combine not just nine but 16 pixels into one in a process called Tetra binning resulting photos supposedly have more detail than ever thanks to this new sensor Samsung is also able to double the correction angle on the ultra to 3 degrees for better video stabilization I can't wait to show you video samples and we'll get them to you as soon as we get our review device now another thing that I can't wait to test out is Samsung is saying it has better integration with social media apps meaning if for say

camera a lot the selfie cam also gets an upgrade from 10 to 12 megapixels a across the board the s23 is also the first phone in the world to use qualcomm's semantic segmentation I tweeted about this when I was in Maui last December this technology can detect different elements inside a photo so it could use AI to improve or correct said photo it can tell what's a building and what sky in the background what's hair Face Body skin it can even differentiate glasses from a face so it can for example remove glare from glasses or add bokeh blur to that weird part behind your subject's glasses all this is coming to the s23 series selfie camera also since last year Samsung has made it a point to use ocean-bound plastic as a material for some of the parts that it uses on its smartphones for example on last year's s22 Ultra the volume and power Keys S Pen inner cover and speaker module were all made from recycled Plastics particularly discarded fishnets on the s23 series the front and back glass also now use recycled glass from Corning and recycled plastic for the back glass film speaking of that front and back glass use the new and improved Gorilla Glass victus 2. it's got the
