Galaxy S23 (Ultra) leak suggests that Samsung has stopped innovating

If there were an award for a brand with the worst handling of confidential materials, Samsung is definitely vying for the top spot. The purported Galaxy S23 dummies were shared by Slashleaks that appear as the closest depiction to real-life models we could have. Although we can't vouch for their authenticity, the designs corroborate well previously reported renders.

Bland Galaxy S23 design

Notably, the outside changes include the revamped back for the Galaxy S23 (Plus) which gets rid of the contoured camera island in favor of a symmetrical, flatter, and minimalist layout. It also shows a slight change for the Galaxy S23 Ultra except it now boasts rounder sides with the same elliptical flat top and bottom.

In addition, all three accommodate a SIM card tray on the left side while the array of physical buttons are placed on the right. Surprisingly, the dummy units suggest a fingerprint scanner placed on the power button. But this could be a major error given the current Galaxy S22 has an in-display sensor. Lastly, the USB port is located below, alongside the single speaker and an S Pen slot for the Ultra.

Galaxy S23's bigger batteries and better cameras

Samsung is expected to equip the Galaxy S23 lineup with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, bigger batteries, and improved cameras. Particularly, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is tipped to get a new 200 MP sensor and 8K video at 30 fps. There is also no word yet on their prices, though Samsung is planning to hold an event in early February next year.
