Samsung has unveiled its latest flagship smartphone models with the launch of the Galaxy S23 series.
As before, the series is composed of three models: the range-topping Galaxy S23 Ultra, the Galaxy S23+, and the Galaxy S23. All devices are equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and feature Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
They are also designed with the planet in mind, with more components made using recycled materials—such as pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass and post-consumer recycled plastics—than any other Samsung Galaxy smartphone. All phones in the series also come in a redesigned packaging box made with 100% recycled paper.
The S23 series phones are available in four colors: Phantom Black, Cream, Green, and Lavender.
