Samsung officially released its flagship mobile phone Galaxy S23 series in the first half of 2023 earlier. Among them, the highest-end Galaxy S23 Ultra is equipped with a 200-megapixel camera and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 specially designed by Qualcomm for Samsung. for the Galaxy processor, making the outside world quite curious about its actual performance. And we also got the European version of the S23 Ultra test machine for the first time. Now let’s unpack the box and test the performance first, and then we will have more test articles about this phone.
Unboxing the Galaxy S23 Ultra
Recently, Samsung has paid great attention to the concept of environmental protection and sustainability in product design, and the S23 series has gone a step further by using more recycled glass, plastic and aluminum alloy materials in mobile phone parts. In addition, mobile phone packaging is now completely made of 100% recycled paper. There is no plastic material involved, and the packaging volume is minimized to reduce the carbon footprint caused by the shipping process. Therefore, the accessories attached to the S23 Ultra in the package are the same as the previous generation. There is no charger, only a transmission line and a card return pin; there is no pre-attached protective sticker on the screen, only a paper temporary protection membrane.
▲ The S23 series has a new packaging design. The front of the phone has an illustration of the same color as the phone body, and the words Galaxy S23 Ultra are underneath.
▲ The packaging is still very thin, which can reduce the carbon footprint generated during production and delivery.
▲ Open the package, the first thing you see is the phone body.
▲ There are card return pins, simple instructions and a USB-C transmission line in the accessory box.
We got the green version of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, and the editor just happened to have the Aurora Green version of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, so let’s compare. First of all, in terms of color, the green color of the S23 Ultra looks like a military green with a relatively low chroma to the naked eye, while the aurora green of the S22 Ultra tends to be blue-green, and the chroma is relatively high. The two phones can clearly distinguish the color different.
In addition, as mentioned earlier, the curved surface of the S23 Ultra screen is relatively gentle, and the left and right sides of the screen dive less, and are closer to a flat screen; in addition, the left and right metal frames of the S23 Ultra have also become relatively flat, close to a rectangular design, and The S22 Ultra is in capsule shape.
▲ The green of the S23 Ultra is close to military green or olive green, while the aurora green of the S22 Ultra is closer to blue-green.
▲ From the side view, it can be seen that the glass of the S22 Ultra (below) or the screen itself has a relatively large curvature, covering part of the side, while the glass and the screen of the S23 Ultra (top) are more curved Less, the back cover glass also has a similar situation.
▲ Looking at the two machines side by side, you can also find that the glass of the S22 Ultra on the right is more curved.
▲ The side frame part, the S23 Ultra (left) is more flat, while the S22 Ultra is almost round.
▲ The difference between the two can be seen more clearly from the top.
▲ The two phones even differ in the shape of the buttons at the end of the S Pen.
▲ The S23 Ultra has built-in dual SIM card slots, but it also does not support memory card expansion.
Effectiveness measurement
The S23 series joins Qualcomm’s tailor-made Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, what is its performance? We also used some performance testing software for testing, please refer to the diagram below for details.
▲ First use Device Info HW to check the system information. The processor part still recognizes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but its large-core clock can reach 3.36GHz, which is consistent with the previously released information, which means that its clock is higher than normal The S8 Gen 2 (3.2GHz) version is 5% higher.
▲ In addition, the RAM is detected to use LPDDR5 / 5X, and the built-in 256GB storage space uses the UFS specification. In addition, it supports 6GHz Wi-Fi 6E connection.
▲ In the camera specification section, it can be found that its standard lens uses ISOCELL HP2, a 200-megapixel photosensitive element, and is also equipped with an IMX564 photosensitive element ultra-wide-angle lens, and the two telephoto lenses use IMX754 photosensitive elements; as for the front-facing 12-megapixel camera The ISOCELL 3LU is used, and there is not much information about this photosensitive element on the Internet at present.
▲ First of all, in terms of Antutu, the S23 Ultra ran out of 1.23 million points; while Geekbench 5 ran out of single-core 1556 and multi-core 5046, which is basically the same as the S8 Gen 2.
▲ PCMark Work 3.0 ran out of 15894 points.
▲ The 3DMark Wild Life Extreme scene ran out of 3808 points.
▲ The GPU running score of Geekbench 5 is 10201 points.
▲ Finally, I used A1 SD Bench to test the read and write performance of the built-in storage space. The result is that the continuous reading is 1451 MB/s, and the continuous writing is 1191 MB/s. It is worthy of UFS 4.0, which is very fast.
Today’s introduction to the unboxing and performance measurement of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is here first, and we will have more articles on the actual measurement of this phone in the future. Friends who are interested in it, please continue to lock in our reports!
