Take Your Passions Further with the New Galaxy S23 Series:Designed for a Premium Experience Today and Beyond

Galaxy S23 Ultra’s most advanced camera, next-level gaming performance, and more eco-conscious design come together in Samsung’s most innovative Galaxy S series yet.Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled
the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23, marking a new era of Galaxy’s ultimate premium
phone experience.

Samsung Galaxy’s most epic camera gives users more freedom to explore their
creativity, like capturing truly cinematic Nightography videos with transformative artificial intelligence (AI). The Snapdragon ® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy unleashes a future-ready mobile gaming
experience and powerfully sustained game play, supported by exclusive chipset enhancements made
possible by Samsung’s close collaboration with Qualcomm. Galaxy S23 series’ new standard-setting
innovations are housed within a striking design that advances Samsung’s sustainability commitment with
the more recycled materials of any Galaxy smartphone.“The most impactful technology is measured, not just by what it enables for people today, but also how it contributes to a better future,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Galaxy S23 Ultra and the entire Galaxy S series line-up are the new standard-bearers of a trustworthy premium smartphone experience that merges industry-leading innovation and
future-forward sustainability.”

A Camera with the Most Megapixels and Extensive Creative Controls, From Day to Night
Galaxy S23 Ultra makes it easier for any level of photographer to capture phenomenal content. It offers
Galaxy’s most advanced camera system, tailored for nearly any lighting conditions and engineered to
render incredible detail. New Nightography capabilities transform how the Galaxy S series optimises
photos and videos in a wide range of ambient conditions. Filming a favourite song at a concert, snapping
a selfie at the aquarium, or grabbing a group shot of friends at dinner — whatever the scene, images and
videos are sharp. Visual noise that usually ruins low-light images is corrected by a new AI-powered
image signal processing (ISP) algorithm that enhances object details and colour tone.
In a Samsung Galaxy-first, Galaxy S23 Ultra boasts a massively upgraded Adaptive Pixel 200MP sensor
that captures epic moments with incredible precision. It uses pixel binning to support multiple levels of
high-resolution processing at once. And because selfie cameras are more important than ever to how we
communicate today, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 introduce fast autofocus and the
first Galaxy Super HDR selfie camera, jumping from 30 frames per second (fps) to 60fps, for noticeably
sharper front-facing images and videos.

For users who want the ultimate creative control and versatility, the Galaxy S series offers a suite of tools
that differentiate any photography experience. The Expert RAW app 1 , available exclusively on Galaxy,
enables DSLR-style image shooting and editing in RAW and JPEG — no bulky camera equipment is
required. Within the app, experiment with Multi-Exposure photo art or capture a clear view of the Milky
Way with Astrophoto settings. Meanwhile, the new zoom capabilities on Galaxy Watch5 series’ Camera
Controller app empower users to capture a perfectly framed shot right from their wrist.
Additional camera advancements include:
 Low-light, close-up, or in situations that would normally create a blur, images are sharp with
doubled optical image stabiliser (OIS) angles in all directions, from 1.5 to 3 degrees.
 Photo and video reflect a stunning level of detail with Galaxy’s second-generation Adaptive
Pixel 2 sensor and Samsung’s updated pixel binning technology for Galaxy S23 Ultra — now with
200MP, 50MP, and 12MP output options.
 Videos feel more cinematic with enhanced 8K video at 30fps with a wider angle.
 Advanced, object-based AI analyses each detail in the frame, even down to minute facial
features such as hair and eyes, to carefully reflect a person’s dynamic characteristics.
 For an even more enhanced video experience, the new 360 Audio Recording feature 3 on Galaxy
Buds2 Pro creates multi-dimensional sound.
On Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23, the iconic Galaxy camera also gets an upgraded look. The contour
housing has been removed, marking a new era of essential Galaxy design that makes the entire series
stand out.

Premium Performance Makes Way for the Future of Mobile Gaming
For creators and gamers alike, the desire to push limits and constantly reimagine what’s possible
requires technology that outpaces expectations. Qualcomm Snapdragon ® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for
Galaxy, enables unprecedented performance while Galaxy’s most efficient 5,000mAh battery to date,
lasts more than 20 percent longer than its predecessor 4 . Mobile gaming, especially, gets a big boost with
enhanced mobile graphics and sustained gaming graphics. Galaxy S23 Ultra’s graphics processing unit
(GPU) is faster by more than 40 percent than the S22 and its neutral processing unit (NPU) is also
optimised by more than 40 percent to balance performance and power for photography, videography,
low-latency gaming and more. In anticipation of the future of ultimate digital realism, Galaxy S23 Ultra
comes ready to support real-time ray tracing as it comes to the mobile gaming mainstream. Users will be
able to see noticeably more lifelike renderings of scenes, thanks to technology that simulates and tracks
every ray of light. Plus, Galaxy’s Vapour Cooling Chamber, now bigger and on every Galaxy S23 series
model, ensures immersing in a gaming marathon won’t slow down your experience.
All this power underpins Ultra’s expansive 6.8-inch 5 edge display with a reduced curvature to create a
larger and flatter surface area for the best and brightest visual experience on a Samsung Galaxy
smartphone. Samsung Galaxy’s unique Enhanced comfort feature allows users to adjust colour tones
and contrast levels, lessening eye strain from screen time at night. Vision Booster now adjusts at four
levels of lighting 6 instead of two to combat brightness and glare in daylight.
Sustainability Advances the Essence of Samsung Galaxy
The Galaxy S23 series raises the bar for premium technology designed with the planet in mind. It is made
using even more recycled materials than the Galaxy S22 series, including pre-consumer recycled aluminium
and recycled glass, and post-consumer recycled plastics sourced from discarded fishing nets 7 ,
water barrels and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.

The new S series is the first to market Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, adding heightened durability
for long-term use and designed with an average of 22 percent pre-consumer recycled content. Plus,
every Galaxy S23 smartphone comes in redesigned packaging made with 100% recycled paper.
With the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy is doing more to minimise its impact on the environment without
compromising quality and aesthetic. Galaxy S23 series is UL ECOLOGO® certified 8 , meaning that the
product has been certified for reduced environmental impact.
For users who want to extend the life of their device, Galaxy S23 series’ premium experience can be
sustained through the years with four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates 9 . To
ensure the longevity, users can also leverage a variety of programs such as Samsung Care+, a support
service for accidental damages, repairs and more x .
User-Friendly Security and Privacy Enable an Open, Personalised Experience
Secure and private experiences are the foundation of the Galaxy S23 series. Every smartphone comes
with Samsung’s end-to-end Samsung Knox protection. The Security and Privacy Dashboard on Galaxy
gives users full visibility over who has access to their data and how it’s being used. With just a glance, it’s
easy to see if personal data is at risk and receive simple prompts to change settings for a more secure
experience. Users can also decide exactly which applications and programs get access to their data and
how it can be used.
For an added layer of security, Knox Vault, which was first introduced on the Galaxy S22 series, protects
critical information on the S series by isolating it from the rest of the device, including the OS, for added
protection against vulnerabilities.
More Freedom and Flexibility for Connected Lifestyles
At the core of Galaxy S series’ premium experience is the uncompromising innovation of Ultra. But the
power and creative capabilities of Samsung Galaxy Ultra don’t stop at smartphones. With the brand new,
first-ever Galaxy Book3 Ultra xi , and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, users can now have a connected, cutting-
edge Ultra ecosystem.
Across every Galaxy S series model, though, connected experiences get added benefits. Multi control 10 ii ,
which connects mouse and keyboard functionality between a Galaxy PC and Tablet, now extends to
Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 for the ultimate flexibility between devices. Plus,
enhanced text usability makes it easy to copy and paste text, like URLs, from one device to another to
pick up an activity on a new device. On Galaxy S23 Ultra, Google Meet paired with Samsung Notes and
the embedded S Pen 11 ii now make video calls even more collaborative. With Live Share, all participants
can now simultaneously co-edit a document from each of their devices, rather than viewing a shared
screen.
