On the eve ofSamsung’s Unpacked 2023 event, multiple leaked images of the upcoming Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra smartphones have surfaced on the internet. We’re covering all of the Galaxy S23 news as it breaks on ourSamsung Galaxy S23 event live blog.
The photographs come fromTwitter user Dylan Xittonwho discovered the devices in a Chilean electronics store. It looks like certain retailers are showing off the phones a day ahead of the official reveal on February 1.

These images give us a sneak peek at some of the S23 Ultra’s hardware. The marketing table reveals the phone will come with a 6.8-inch qHD resolution (2560x1440 pixels) screen and at least four cameras. We can spy packaging for at least two of the rumored colors: Phantom Black and Botanic Green.
On the surface, the phone looks very similar to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, butaccording to Dylan Xitton, there is a slight difference. He claims the screen on the S23 Ultra isn’t as curved compared to the S22 Ultra with the new device having more pronounced edges. The user goes on to say writing notes feels more comfortable on the S23 Ultra
Adding veracity
We know so much about the Galaxy S23’s hardware but very little about the software
For the other two models, there is no new information to be had. Much of what Dylan Xitton showed in his pictures was nothing new as arecent leaked specs sheet of the Galaxy S23 linealready revealed the information it contained. If anything, the Twitter thread basically corroborates specs sheet.
What is a little disappointing is we didn’t get a peak at any of the new features Samsung is putting into the Galaxy S23 line. The company did recently tease improvednight photography on S23 Ultraand anew Pro modefor selfies. Nothing on any new gaming features or some special collaboration withGoogle.
