The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra release date has not yet been confirmed by the Korean tech giant, however, they tend to release their phones on a fairly predictable pattern in the first few months of the year, so we’ve got a good idea of the time window which is likely, early in 2024.
When will the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra be released?
Most tech publications are assuming either a late January or February 2023 release date for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, which tends to come out at the same time as the regular Samsung Galaxy S model.
That being said, we don’t have any confirmed sources for where these predictions are coming from, so it could be purely a guess based on the previous Samsung Galaxy Ultra release date history (see below).
Samsung Galaxy S Ultra release date history
The previous Samsung Galaxy S Ultra release dates are listed below (the same as the release dates for the standard model). From the below, we can safely assume that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will be released sometime between mid-January and mid-March, not exactly the smallest window of time, but we’re a way off yet. As we get closer to the time of the release we’ll get a better idea from Samsung as to when to expect the device:
- Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra release date – TBC 2023
- Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra release date – February 25th, 2022
- Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra release date – January 14th, 2021
- Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra release date – March 6th, 2020
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Price predictions
Again, we don’t have any official info about the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra price as of yet, but the previous years can give us a rough idea:
- Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra price – $1,199 / £1,149
- Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra price – $1,299 / £1,149
- Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra price – $1,399 / £1,199
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra specs
There is little confirmed information regarding the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but there have been various leaks and rumors as to its various features which give us an idea of some of them.
What processor will the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra come with?
Samsung has an unusual policy when it comes to the chips that they equip their Galaxy-class phones with. Typically, phones destined for the European and Indian markets come equipped with Samsung’s own Exynos chips that they develop themselves, whereas those going to the US and other territories usually come with the latest Qualcomm processors (such as the Snapdragon 8 series).
For the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra however, it looks like Samsung may just be going with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, as, if the below tweet by respected leaker Ming-Chi Kuo is to be believed, the latest Exynos 2300 isn’t quite up to scratch.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra camera spec rumors
Galaxy S23 Ultra telephoto cameras
Looking at the main telephoto camera first, there are unconfirmed reports from Galaxy Club that the phone will have similar specs to the previous two Galaxy S Ultra entries (that is a periscope with 10x magnification and 10MP resolution Sony IMX754 sensor), though we can expect improvements to image processing, and perhaps to the pixel size of the sensor, as has been done previously.
The second telephoto sensor seems likely to also be fairly similar to its 10MP 3x predecessor, though we’ll have to wait for more information on this.
Galaxy S23 Ultra main camera
The expected camera upgrade will likely focus on the main camera of the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. According to Galaxy Club, there’s a chance that Samsung may upgrade the existing 108MP HM3 sensor to a 200MP one.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra battery
The general consensus among tech commenters at the moment is that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra battery capacity is expected to be 5500mah or more, as you can see in the below tweet along with info on the other Galaxy S23 model batteries.
