The tech giant Samsung has numerous new products planned for 2023 – rumor has it that a special smartphone could be among them. Overview.
2023 will Samsung launch more than just the Galaxy S23. Experts expect several new models, some of them speak of a technical “revolution”. Not all of them have been officially confirmed by Samsung. What do you know and what are the rumors about? Here is an overview of the models with which the manufacturer made South Korea the Apple products 2023 want to compete.
Samsung products 2023 with Galaxy Z Flip 5
Samsung has been successful in the past with its smartphones with a foldable display. So it’s no wonder that the group is pursuing the technology further and wants to present the successor to the Z Flip 4 in 2023. With the Z Flip 5, Samsung could correct some of the weaknesses of the previous “foldables”.
One criticism of the Flip 4 was its small external display. As Ross Young, expert for the display industry and head of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), recently revealed on Twitter, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 will have a significantly larger external display. While the current Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 1.9-inch display on the outside, the 2023 model is said to have a size of three inches. It is currently not known how Samsung arranges the cameras installed on the outside around the larger display.
According to Young, Samsung also wants to redesign the hinges of the foldable smartphone. When the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is unfolded, this leads to a more seamless transition between the halves of the display. However, he does not reveal where he got this information from. Here, too, those of the manufacturer are still missing. According to the current status, Samsung fans can expect the Galaxy Z Flip 5 in autumn 2023 – even if this release has not been officially confirmed either.
Galaxy Z Fold 5 as another Samsung smartphone in 2023
The foldable smartphone from the Samsung Fold series looks like its big brother next to the flip smartphones. This is also a foldable, but the folding axis is vertical here, so that users can open the cell phone and use it like a small tablet. The Z Fold 4 presented in August 2022 was particularly convincing due to the quality of the foldable display: the fold of the large display is hardly noticeable.
The successor, logically named Z Fold 5, could adopt the design and dimensions of the current model. But even here there are only rumors so far. The technology magazine Tech Advisor reports, for example, that the new model uses a 6.2-inch front display with AMOLED. Unfolded, users can expect a 7.6-inch display with a refresh rate of 120 Hertz and also with AMOLED technology. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 also has stereo speakers. However, the new model could be thinner and lighter, according to various experts.
According to a report by the Asian platform Gizmochina the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor is to be installed. The camera will therefore not have a 200MP sensor, instead the 50MP GN3 sensor should be used, which enables 8K videos. The information comes from the summer and is also not confirmed.
As with the predecessors of the Z-Fold series, the Fold 5 will be traded as a high-end smartphone. The price will be correspondingly juicy. The predecessor Fold 4 was traded for 1800 to 2150 euros at the time of the launch – depending on the storage space. The foldable was therefore more expensive at the start of sales than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which cost around 2100 euros with 1 terabyte.
No launch date for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is known yet. So far, however, the Galaxy Z Fold models have been put on sale in August. It is therefore realistic that the new folding cell phone will also celebrate its premiere in August 2023.
What is known about the Samsung smartphone Galaxy S23?
By the end of January, there was little information about the new Galaxy S23, not even the name was confirmed. But now it is clear that a new flagship of the Galaxy series is coming: On February 1, 2023, Samsung presented three new models, named after the year – this time 2023. The expectations of experts should (unsurprisingly) come true: In addition to one In addition to the standard version, the Samsung Galaxy S23, there is also a larger Plus version and – as with the previous series – a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The S22 disappointed its users with poor battery life. Experts like Jörn Schmidt from Schmidtis Blog expect an improvement with the new smartphone and even speak of a ten percent higher energy density. With a capacity of 5000 mAh, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will have the largest battery in the new Samsung smartphones. In the sister models Galaxy S23 and S23 +, the energy storage has space for 3900 and 4700 mAh hours respectively.
There was wild speculation as to whether the S23 is equipped with an in-house Exynos chipset or the much more powerful Snapdragon chipset will be used in the new cell phone. Now it is clear: The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor has arrived. The heart has eight cores and offers a maximum clock of 3.36 gigahertz – a decent increase in performance.
Incidentally, each Galaxy S23 device is available in two memory sizes: the Galaxy S23 with 128 and 256 gigabytes, the S23 + and the S23 Ultra with 256 and 512 gigabytes. And the rumors that in the Samsung Galaxy S23 the 200 megapixel camera already suspected for the S22 takes outstanding pictures? Become true. On the back you can alternatively take pictures with an ultra-wide-angle camera with 12 megapixels, as well as with two telephoto cameras (each 10 MP).
The price of the device was easier to predict: Since the energy and raw material costs have risen, the same has happened with the acquisition costs. In the basic version with 128 GB storage capacity, the price is 949 euros. The last two predecessors were offered for 849 euros in the standard version.
With the S23+, the difference is even greater due to the elimination of the 128 GB version of the S22+ – the 256 GB version is available for 1199 euros, 1049.00 euros was still charged for the Plus device Galaxy S22. Even more bizarre: The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra costs around 1400 euros (!) in the smallest memory version, instead of 1249 euros as with its predecessor. However, it is worth being patient: Experience has shown that the prices of Samsung innovations will fall quite quickly. So if you don’t necessarily need the new Galaxy S23 right away, you can wait a while – or consider whether buying a cheaper predecessor model would suffice. The Samsung Galaxy S23 will be available from February 17, 2023.
A54 5G as a cheaper Samsung phone
Samsung’s mid-range offering – the A series – has held its own in the market for a number of years. A new model, the A54 5G, is to appear in 2023 and at the same time correct criticism of the previous model, the A53. Although it was praised for its long battery life and the OLED display, it received negative points for a rather mediocre processor and the missing jack plug.
There are already initial indications of the battery: it should be larger than that of the previous model. According to rumors of the Dutch Galaxy Clubs the battery should have a capacity of 4,905 mAh. In comparison, the previous model only has 4860 mAh. Both smartphones have a battery life of around 13 to 14 hours.
Another feature of the A54 5G is said to be the quick charge function. Because even in the previous model, the tech giant paid attention to a short loading time. So it’s unlikely they left that out on the new smartphone.
The smartphone’s camera, on the other hand, should perform worse: the main camera should only have 50 megapixels instead of the previous 64 megapixels. Samsung has also probably reduced the quad camera to a triple camera. This does not mean that the camera takes worse pictures, because it is still unclear how the lens and the corresponding sensor were chosen.
No launch date for the Samsung A54 5G has been published yet. However, since the past models have appeared every year, customers can probably expect the smartphone at the end of the first or beginning of the second quarter.
Samsung Smartwatch 2023: Galaxy Watch 6 with a new display?
Even before the Galaxy Watch 5 was launched, the rumor mill was already buzzing. According to the platform, Samsung is said to have knocked on the door of another display manufacturer GIGA. The rumors persist that the new smartwatch will be equipped with a BOE display. The Chinese producer was previously known for its cooperation with Huawei. Now he is to produce OLED displays for the Galaxy Watch 6.
So far, however, nothing more is known about the Galaxy Watch 6. In August, however, customers can count on the new smartwatch model, because the current predecessor came onto the market on August 10, 2022.
Samsung tablet Galaxy Tab S9 is delayed
Anyone who was expecting the new Galaxy Tab S9 will be disappointed: Samsung has postponed the development of the tablet for some time. Actually, the new Samsung tablet should have been on the market at the beginning of 2023. With the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, Tab S9 Plus and Tab S9 Ultra, the tech giant wanted to present its new high-end tablets. Loud The Elect however, that shouldn’t happen.
The reason for this is said to be the falling interest in such hardware and the current economic situation. It should be similar for other tablet manufacturers. The development of the Galaxy Tab S9 should now only be continued in the current year. Thus, the Tab S8, Tab S8 Plus and Tab S8 Ultra will remain on the market longer than originally intended.
