TL; DR
- A new leak has surfaced regarding the Galaxy S23.
- The leak seems to confirm that a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip could be used for the Galaxy S23 series.
- The leak also seems to confirm a lowered selfie camera for the Ultra.
Although we’re less than a week away from the launch date, the Galaxy S23 leaks continue to pour in. At this point, the leak seems to confirm a chip that could be used for the Ultra with a flagship and camera drop.
Reliable Laker Roland Quandt took to Twitter today to reveal two new images. These images seem to further support what we’ve heard about the Galaxy S23 lineup.
The first image Quandt revealed appears to be marketing material that claims Samsung is using a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. Specifically, it’s an image of a Qualcomm chip with the name “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy.”
This news comes a day after it was suggested that the chipset would make it to all models of the global lineup.
The second image Quandt shared is a detailed comparison that provides a side-by-side look at all three models. One interesting thing that can be gathered from the picture is that the base model seems to be hanging in there with the other two variants. Specifications like brightness, storage and refresh rate are the same across the board.
As shown here, the base model does not make any major compromises when compared to its siblings. The biggest differences are the size, the limited battery and the Ultra 200MP shooter.
Speaking of cameras, this leak also seems to support our expectations from the Ultra’s selfie camera. This year it seems to have been reduced from 40MP to 12MP.
With Samsung Unpacked scheduled for next Wednesday, we won’t have to rely on leaks to satisfy our hunger for details.
