The Galaxy S23 Ultra boasts a new 200MP Adaptive Pixel sensor that uses pixel binning to support multiple levels of high-resolution processing at once like 200MP, 50MP, and 12MP output options. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset that is customised for the device to offer better GPU and NPU performance.

After months of rumours and hype, Samsung's top-tier flagship phone for 2023, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, has now been unveiled. The Galaxy S23 Ultra, which was unveiled with the more popular Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus, focuses heavily on night photography, gaming, and sustainability. India is also introducing the phone at the same time, however we have not yet received confirmation on the exact price.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is mostly a familiar gadget, but there are three significant upgrades that could help it to surpass the previous S22 Ultra in terms of productivity.
