The Galaxy S23 series is built to take your passions further, whether that is shooting cinematic content or gaming on the go. The Ultra's headline act is Samsung's first 200MP Adaptive Pixel sensor, which uses pixel binning to capture epic detail, while transformative Nightography, powered by a new AI image signal processing algorithm, cleans up noise and sharpens object detail so concert clips, aquarium selfies, and dimly lit dinner group shots all come out sharper. The Ultra also doubles its optical image stabilizer angles for steadier low light video, shoots enhanced 8K video at 30fps with a wider angle, and adds fast autofocus and Samsung's first Super HDR selfie camera at 60fps across the whole series. Creatives get DSLR style control through the Expert RAW app, now accessible right in the native Camera app, with Multiple exposures and Astrophoto modes for artistic and night sky shots. And the beloved embedded S Pen on the Ultra opens up more possibilities for notetaking, productivity, and hobbies.

Performance is equally uncompromising: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy was the fastest Snapdragon available at launch, with CPU performance up about 30 percent and GPU roughly 41 percent faster than the previous generation, real time ray tracing ready for ultra realistic mobile gaming, and a bigger vapor chamber on every model to keep marathon sessions cool. The Ultra's expansive 6.8 inch edge display is flatter and larger than before, with Vision Booster adjusting at three lighting levels and an Enhanced comfort mode that reduces eye strain at night, all powered by a 5,000mAh battery. It is also Samsung's most eco conscious Galaxy S yet, using more components with recycled materials than any prior model, including glass with an average of 22 percent pre consumer recycled content and 100 percent recycled paper packaging, plus UL ECOLOGO certification. You get four generations of OS upgrades, five years of security updates, end to end Knox protection, and a Security and Privacy Dashboard for full visibility over your data, in nature inspired matte hues including Phantom Black, Cream, Green, and Lavender.
