Although the Galaxy S23 series is anticipated to launch in early February 2023, several of its specifications have already been revealed. It is widely believed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU will be standard across the board for Samsung Galaxy S23 series devices. Now, a report says what type of performance enhancement we may anticipate from Samsung’s forthcoming smartphones for the first time.
According to tipster Ahmed Qwaider, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-equipped Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra will feature a sizeable jump in performance compared to their predecessors. The upcoming phones would reportedly feature 36% better CPU performance, 48% faster GPU, and 60% faster NPU (Neural Processing Unit used for AI and ML acceleration). The devices are also expected to feature a better chipset cooling solution for better performance under sustained loads.
Previous reports indicate that Samsung might have stuck a deal with Qualcomm for an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Going by benchmark figures, this particular version of the processor has a 170MHz faster CPU clock speed (for its Prime CPU core). Its GPU could be clocked at 719MHz. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 also features faster RAM (LPDDR5X) and storage (UFS 4.0), which should result in a considerable performance jump.
Apart from raw performance improvement, the Galaxy S23 series is expected to bring brighter screens (all variants at 1,750 nits), improved colors in outdoor conditions, a better selfie camera (12MP Dual-Pixel AF), 8K 30fps video recording, and satellite connectivity. The Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S23+ are getting slightly bigger batteries, at 3,900mAh and 4,700mAh, respectively.
