Samsung may reflect on the previous year with a certain amount of satisfaction. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is among the top smartphones released in the last year, and it has helped Samsung maintain its dominant position in the worldwide smartphone market. The manufacturer completely controls the finest foldable phone industry, and its intermediate A Series devices continue to garner praise as affordable alternatives.

But there's a feeling that Samsung shouldn't be complacent. According to market research company IDC, Samsung will have a smaller market share in the US than Apple by the third quarter of 2022. Although we give Samsung's phones excellent marks for the crucial chore of shooting images, Apple and Google's phones compete for the title of best camera phone overall.

Samsung still has work to do if it wants to maintain its tight hold on the smartphone market, at the very least. To beat off the competition and remind us why the finest Samsung phones should be the first you turn to when looking for a new handset, the business is developing new models across all of its major mobile segments for 2023.

Launch of Samsung's Galaxy S23 in 2023
We are most familiar with Samsung's ambitions for its Galaxy S lineup because the introduction of new models is just around the corner. According to reports, the Samsung Galaxy S23 will launch in early February, potentially following the Galaxy Unpacked event on February 1. If accurate, the Galaxy S23 would succeed the OnePlus 11's February 7 debut as the first significant phone release of 2023.

The Galaxy S23 launched first, but can it live up to the hype? According to reports about the Galaxy 23 Ultra, the solution is probably yes. This expensive model is allegedly receiving the most attention from Samsung, who equipped it with a 200MP sensor for its main camera. Depending on their preferences for brightness, colour, and detail, users could select between 200MP, 50MP, and 12.5MP resolutions for their photos. Another S23 Ultra rumour claims that 8K video at 30 frames per second may also be possible.

With regard to its premium model's camera, Samsung is continuing to make advancements. According to one report, Samsung intends to provide the most brilliant phone display, with a maximum brightness of 2,100 nits.

All three of the anticipated Galaxy S23 versions are expected to undergo at least one update, with the regular, Plus, and Ultra models most likely receiving a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset as its primary engine. Our benchmarks for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 indicate that devices powered by this chip should be able to compete with the A15 Bionic-powered iPhone 14, even if Apple's Pro models continue to be out of reach. Even better, it's possible that the S23 series may employ an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which would turn the new device into an Android powerhouse.

According to rumours, the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus will use the Galaxy S22 Ultra's design, which features separate lenses rather than a camera housing that blends into the side of the device.

One Galaxy S phone is one you shouldn't anticipate seeing in 2023. The Galaxy S22 FE hasn't been announced yet, despite Samsung releasing a FE version of the Galaxy S model from the prior year for the past two years in a row.

The Samsung Galaxy A phones of 2023
Samsung likely believes it can discontinue the Galaxy S22 FE since its midrange Galaxy A phones have become powerful enough to compete with it for the attention of consumers unwilling to shell out for a flagship model. For instance, the Samsung Galaxy A53 was among the best inexpensive smartphones to be released this year and competed favourably with the Pixel 6a. (Or relative lack of money, depending on the situation.)

An upgrade to the Galaxy A53 and Galaxy A33 is anticipated. (The latter item was distributed exclusively to Europe.) According to reports, Samsung is discontinuing its A7x models and has no plans to release the Galaxy A73, another phone that was never sold in the United States. The new Galaxy A models would be released sometime in the spring if Samsung follows the same release schedule as last year.

With 91Mobiles uploading supposed renders(opens in new tab) of the next phone, some Galaxy A54 rumours have begun to surface. They display a phone that resembles the Galaxy S22 Ultra and has individual camera lenses on the rear. Samsung appears to be aiming for a more uniform appearance for both its flagship and

Additional Galaxy A54 rumors(opens in new tab) claim that this year's model will have a larger battery and a 50MP main camera, down from the A53's 64MP sensor in terms of megapixels. Watchers of Samsung anticipate that the new model will be powered by an Exynos chipset.
