It starts at $1,200.

Itll be interesting to see what Samsung has done on the software side to help extend that battery.
The company boasts the new model will last 20% longer than last years Ultra.
The Galaxy S23 Ultras primary camera is a beefy 200-MP with an 85-degree field-of-view (FOV).

Samsung promises that all those megapixels will help you capture truly cinematic Nightography videos.
Thats something well test for ourselves.

The phone can also record enhanced 8K video at 30 frames-per-second (fps) at a wide angle.
Again, we plan to put all these claims through their paces during our full review.
Its a premium touch.

Heres to hoping that the Galaxy S23s camera system is more impressive than last years Galaxy S22/22+.
The front-facing camera is a wide-angle 12-MP sensor.
The battery sizes in the Galaxy S22/S22+ are so much smaller than the Pixel 7s offerings.
