Galaxy S23 and Galaxy Book 3: What news does Samsung bring in its main presentation of the year? – Russian newspaper

Date: March 29, 2024 Time: 12:29:48

If we ignore all sorts of “leaks” and look at Galaxy Unpacked 2023 with a fresh look, then everything that was devoted to smartphones can be divided into 2 parts. What surprised and what was expected.

It is expected that there will be no changes in the composition of the line: three family models: junior, medium and senior. And the eldest, as always, stays out of the way. Evolutionary changes are also expected compared to the Galaxy S22. There are no radical changes. There are also traditionally no memory cards. Samsung Galaxy S23 and Samsung Galaxy S23+ main camera specs are comparable to Galaxy S22/S22+

But it is unusual that for the flagship line, not branded Samsung Exynos processors were chosen, but slightly overclocked Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

All the main and most “unusual” “chips” went to the previous model Galaxy S23 Ultra, which is essentially the heir to the Note line. However, the S Pen built into its body remains the same.

The highlight of the S23 Ultra is the new 6.8-inch QHD+ Edge Dynamic AMOLED display and 200 MP camera. Now, during shooting, up to sixteen pixels are combined to get the final image. Updated optical stabilization mode, the possibility of night and night shooting and camera software. Judging by the Hollywood “heavy artillery” involved in the presentation, in the person of the famous director Ridley Scott and the South Korean movie star Hong-jin Na, special attention was paid in the S23 Ultra to the video capabilities of the cameraman.

The base Samsung Galaxy S23 is equipped with a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels and support for 120 Hz (48 to 120 Hz range). The hardware platform of the smartphone is Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, on board 8 GB of RAM and from 128 to 512 GB of permanent memory. The device is equipped with a 3900 mAh battery with 25 watt charging. The set of cameras is close to the standard: the main one with a resolution of 50 megapixels, an ultra-wide angle with a resolution of 12 megapixels, a 10-megapixel camera with a resolution of 3x optical zoom and a 12-megapixel front camera. .

The Galaxy S23+ smartphone received an enlarged display with a diagonal of 6.6 inches with a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels and support for 120 Hz (range from 48 to 120 Hz). The platform is the same: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform for Galaxy and a bunch of 8 GB of RAM and 128 to 512 GB of permanent memory. The battery has a little more capacity – 4700 mAh with 45 watt charging. But the set of cameras is exactly the same: the main one with a resolution of 50 megapixels, an ultra-wide angle with a resolution of 12 megapixels, a television camera with a resolution of 10 megapixels with triple optical zoom and a 12-camera. megapixel front.

And finally the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The premium version received a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a resolution of 3088 x 1440 pixels and support for 120 Hz (range from 1 to 120 Hz). The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy is complemented by generously expanded memory: 8 or 12 GB of RAM and from 256 GB to 1 TB of permanent memory. The battery is even more powerful – 5000 mAh with 45 watt charging. And the top camera, which was talked about a month before the announcement, the main one with a resolution of 200 MP, an ultra-wide angle with a resolution of 12 MP, a 10 MP camera with a resolution of 3x optical zoom, a periscope camera with a resolution of 10 MP with 10x optical zoom and a 12-megapixel front camera.

All smartphones run Android 13 OS with One UI 5.1 proprietary interface / All new items support Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 and run Android 13 with One UI 5.1 shell. The smartphones are available in four colors: Phantom Black, Cream, Green, and Lavender.

Ferra.ru editor-in-chief Evgeny Kharitonov believes that 200-megapixel cameras, although they will heat up the fashion for a large number of smartphone features, are not an innovation.

“Apart from the number of megapixels, the camera characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra are as close as possible to those of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max: both the aperture and the size of the sensor are approximately the same. But Samsung retains a slight advantage due to the improved ISOCELL pixel arrangement compared to BSI CMOS in Apple’s camera, Kharitonov says. – Cameras of comparable quality are available in the Xiaomi 12S Ultra released in summer 2022 or the Sony Xperia Pro-I, which debuted in December 2021. But Xiaomi’s flagship is aimed exclusively at the Chinese market, and the Sony’s record-breaking smartphone was originally exotic and is now rarely found on sale. Thus, the main camera of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra continues to be the best in terms of performance today.”

Eldar Murtazin, a lead analyst at Mobile Research Group, told Rossiyskaya Gazeta that there would be no official deliveries of the Galaxy S23 series in Russia. The devices will be imported via parallel imports and will appear in Russia in early March.

“So far, the price is not clear, but most likely it will vary from 75 to 150 thousand rubles, depending on the model and the amount of memory,” says the Mobile Research Group analyst.

“From the flagship smartphones Xiaomi and Realme Samsung Galaxy S23 and Samsung Galaxy S23+, which are sold in official Russian retail at a cost of 60,000 rubles, they are distinguished by a small margin of processor power and the presence of protection against water – a weight, but far from a decisive argument for buyers”, says Ferra Editor-in-Chief .ru

However, in his opinion, it is precisely because of the “free” prices in parallel imports that the low-end S23+ configurations will attract buyers of Chinese smartphones sold at high prices in official stores.

The second part of Galaxy Unpacked was dedicated to the line of laptops – Galaxy Book3

The Book 3 Pro (14-inch and 16-inch), the Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 convertible and the high-end Book3 Ultra (16-inch) laptop were introduced.

The new Galaxy Book 3 is partly positioned as a competitor to the MacBook. Also, the Galaxy Book 3 Pro as a competitor to the 13” and 14” MacBook Pro, and the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra as a competitor to the MacBook Pro 16.

Kharitonov believes that among Windows laptops, the novelties look very attractive: “The 13th generation Intel Core processors were introduced on January 3, and Samsung became a pioneer among those who used them in flagship laptops with screens. OLED”.

In his opinion, the most competitive model (in its category) of the presented novelties is the Galaxy Book 3 Ultra. as comparable-equipment laptops, like the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo OLED, cost the same or slightly more.

“But the younger models seem a little less competitive. The Galaxy Book 3 Pro of both versions is disappointing with storage capacities of 256 and 512 GB and 8 GB of RAM for younger versions that do not correspond to the status of the flagship, for example, Lenovo Yoga 7 with an OLED screen and the same processor performance. , 8 GB of RAM, but with 512 GB of memory it costs $1,077 versus $1,399 for a similar transformer from Samsung”, says the expert.
