Of course, we won't know until February 1st, but thanks to the leaked table of specifications of the upcoming new products, we can already get a clear picture of where Samsung will improve the new models. So here you can see the comparison Galaxy S23 vs. Galaxy S22 and how they will differ (or, conversely, resemble) each other.
Display
In this case, not much really happens. Samsung's established sizes work, as does the quality. The question is the maximum brightness, which we cannot read from the tables. However, the glass should be Gorilla Glass Victus 2 technology, last year it was Gorilla Glass Victus+.
- 6,1" Dynamic AMOLED 2X with 2340 x 1080 pixels (425 ppi), adaptive refresh rate 48 to 120 Hz, HDR10+
Chip and memory
Galaxy The S22 was equipped with a 4nm Exynos 2200 chip in our market (that is, the European one). This year it will change and we will get a 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but we expect it to be slightly improved at Samsung's request. Both RAM and storage capacities will remain the same.
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2
- 8 GB RAM
- 128/256GB storage
Cameras
The specifications of the main trio of cameras are completely identical. But we don't yet know the sizes of the individual sensors, so even if the resolution and brightness are the same, increasing the pixels can also improve the resulting photo. In addition, we expect considerable software wizardry from Samsung. However, the front selfie camera will improve, jumping from 10 to 12 MPx.
- Wide angle: 50 MPx, angle of view 85 degrees, 23 mm, f/1.8, OIS, dual pixel
- Ultra wide angle: 12 MPx, angle of view 120 degrees, 13 mm, f/2.2
- Telephoto lens: 10 MPx, angle of view 36 degrees, 69 mm, f/2.4, 3x optical zoom
- Selfie camera: 12 MPx, angle of view 80 degrees, 25 mm, f/2.2, HDR10+
Dimensions
Of course, the overall dimensions are determined by the size of the display. Even if it is the same, we will see a certain enlargement of the chassis, when the device will grow by 0,3 mm in height and by the same 0,3 mm in width. But we don't know why it will be like that. The thickness remains the same, the weight will be one gram less.
- Galaxy S23: 146,3 x 70,9 x 7,6 mm, weight 167 g
- Galaxy S22: 146 x 70,6 x 7,6 mm, weight 168 g
Batteries and charging
For the battery, there is a clear improvement when its capacity in the case Galaxy The S23 jumps by 200 mAh. However, it will not affect the charging speed, when the cable will still be 25W, while the higher model Galaxy The S23+, like last year's (and the Ultra models), will have 45W charging.
- Galaxy S23: 3900 mAh, 25W cable charging
- Galaxy S22: 3700 mAh, 25W cable charging
Connectivity and others
Galaxy The S23 will get improvements in terms of wireless technology, so it will have WiFi 6E versus Wi-Fi 6 a Bluetooth 5.3 compared to Bluetooth 5.2. Of course, water resistance according to IP68, support for 5G networks and presence Androidu 13 with One UI 5.1 superstructure.
As we can see from the entire list, there are changes, but not too many. Many voices now complain that the changes are really not enough. However, it is important to realize that what we already know may not be everything. The second thing is the current approach of companies. Even like that Apple in the case of the iPhone 14, it only came with so many improvements that can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Samsung inspires the world and shapes the future with its revolutionary ideas and technologies. He can't be expected to give us too many reasons to step out of line Galaxy S22. But times change and most users don't replace their phones year after year, so even a relatively small upgrade like this can make long-term sense in a company's strategy.
So the changes are completely pointless and nothing will improve. Certainly not photos that are tragic
You still don't read the articles carefully. This is also the case with the software, and if the sensor gets bigger, the quality will improve. That's always the case with you.
Jirko, you are a true moralist. Samsung missed a lot of things with the S22 (exynos, smaller battery, worse display compared to plus and ultra). This year it looks like a great smaller flagship android a phone with good sw support and hopefully good battery life. If you don't like so many things about Samsung, try the competition... There's enough of it these days 😉
I'm going for the Samsung S23 Ultra this year.
Although the Samsung Note 9 still works, you can already feel the slowdown. I wanted to go for the 22 Ultra, but the processor put me off, so this year I'm going for the Ultra 512GB (it's just a pity that there are no more SD cards and I will also miss the jack.
I've been using the Samsung S22 for over half a year and the battery is perfectly fine. In the evening it has 40 to 60%. Twice during that time, I knew I would be waiting for long hours at the doctor's office, so I took a power bank.
Nice phone in your pocket.
