Samsung continues to be the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer. A huge reason for its astonishing success is the popularity of its Galaxy S line. Over the years, the Galaxy S line has become synonymous with Android, being some of the most well-known and most revered devices in the market. In 2023, we expect that to continue with the Samsung Galaxy S23 series.

What could Samsung have in store for the Galaxy S23 line? There are a lot of unknown details as of right now, but we can make plenty of assumptions based on what Samsung has done in the past. Meanwhile, we also can make a wish list of features we hope Samsung brings around for the Galaxy S23 phones. Continue on for what we know and what we hope to see!

When will the Samsung Galaxy S23 release date be?




Galaxy S10 series — February 20, 2019
Galaxy S20 series — February 11, 2020
Galaxy S21 series — January 14, 2021
Galaxy S22 series — February 9, 2022
Historically, Samsung has launched Galaxy S phones within the first three months of the year. In recent years, Samsung has launched them in February, with only the Galaxy S21 series as an exception. This was likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It stands to reason that Samsung would launch the Galaxy S23 series in February 2023. However, don’t rule out a January or even March launch. Samsung has launched the phones in those months in the past. There’s also no telling how the ongoing global chip shortage could change the company’s plans.

Korean outlet ETNews also asserted on September 28 that Samsung is considering an earlier release than the Galaxy S22 series. So a January launch could be on the cards.

What features and specs will the Samsung Galaxy S23 series have?





Design

One of the biggest-ever shifts for the Galaxy S line happened in 2022. That’s when Samsung remodeled the Galaxy S22 Ultra to make it look and function more like a Galaxy Note phone. This included it being a boxy design with an S Pen slot.

However, the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus remained largely the same when compared to the previous models. This year, it looks like Samsung could do the opposite by changing the looks of the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus while leaving the Galaxy S23 Ultra mostly the same.

We got our first apparent look at the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus on September 27 when Steve ‘Onleaks’ Hemmerstoffer posted renders. Check out the base S23 renders below.

Specs and features

Samsung Galaxy S phones are almost always the first globally available devices with the latest flagship silicon from Qualcomm. We don’t expect 2023 to be any different in this regard. As such, you can expect all three Samsung Galaxy S23 phones to have the as-yet-unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 inside. That would certainly be for devices in North America, Korea, and India, while other countries might get the unannounced Exynos 2300.

However, Samsung and Qualcomm announced a deal that will see Galaxy S23 phones powered by Snapdragon chips “globally.” The announcement didn’t outright say that all S23 phones would be powered by Snapdragon hardware. So it stands to reason that we could still see an Exynos variant launching in some capacity. We’ll just have to wait and see.
