Description
Your Galaxy, your way
The Galaxy S23 Series boasts a fresh look, both outside and in. The new and improved One UI 5.1 lets you customise your whole experience. From lock screen and wallpaper designs, to how the clock and notification bar appear. You can even manage how notifications appear and assign full-screen GIFs to your favourite contacts, so they begin looping with incoming calls. All the core Samsung apps have had a facelift too, for a fresh look throughout. More personalisation options to suit every taste, now built in as standard.
Bring the night to life
Do you love capturing photos and video after dark? With Galaxy S23 Ultra, you’ll love it so much more. The quad-lens setup boasts a head-spinning 200MP Ultra High Resolution Rear Camera, for unprecedented detail in every picture. When it comes to shooting in low-light conditions, the latest version of Nightography boosts colours and sharpens details – and now it’s even built into the 12MP Dual Pixel Front-Facing Selfie Camera, too. Adaptive video digital image stabilisation and optical image stabilisation will keep annoying camera shake at bay. And to streamline your journey from picture to post, Samsung has worked with Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok, to integrate these sophisticated camera smarts directly into their apps.
Perfect precision with S Pen
Professional creators don’t retouch their photos and videos with their fingers, and nor should you. Leave the world of pinching and prodding behind, and go pro, with our latest S Pen. The fine nib lets you create complex selections in your photos and trim video frames with extreme accuracy. And when you need to get in the frame too, control the camera shutter and timer remotely, using S Pen’s button, connected to the handset via Bluetooth.
Uninterrupted gaming and streaming
Whether it’s work, play, or somewhere in between, your always-on world should run smoothly. Enter, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Processor. The latest iteration promises dynamic gaming, with an improved CPU, GPU and cooling system. So even the most demanding online multiplayer marathons will feel like a breeze. And with a huge 5,000mAh (typical) Battery with Super Fast Charging, it means you’ll never be caught short.
Designed to be epic
Galaxy S23 Ultra is the ultimate smartphone, with a 6.8-inch immersive display with standout brightness and adaptive Vision Booster technology that automatically adjusts to suit your environment. So whether you’re in the bright morning sun, a low-lit café, or travelling in and out of tunnels on the train, you’ll always have a quality, distraction-free viewing experience. The big picture experience is made even better with a refresh rate up to 120Hz, for silky smoothness when scrolling or playing your favourite games. And with QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen technology, losing yourself in eye-widening super sharp, colour-popping content has never been easier. Galaxy S23 Ultra is built to be tough, using the latest and toughest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 to protect the front and back and an Armour Aluminium frame.
