![It's The Inside That Counts](https://cdn.magzter.com/1337167587/1677764863/articles/IjKaVWY8M1678351239400/Samsung-Galaxy-S23.jpg)
If you're touching both, the angular sides are telltale signs when it's next to the Galaxy S22 Ultra with round rungs. Without these, the Galaxy S23 Ultra would be indistinguishable from the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Almost none of its changes are apparent at first glance. However, dig deeper, and you will see that the phone is advanced. The Galaxy S23 Ultra uses LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, which are both faster versions of memory than its predecessor. It also uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
Dig even deeper, and you’ll see that the upgraded 200MP primary camera comes with 16-in-1 pixel binning, using its high megapixel count for more practical shooting situations. Samsung also doubled Galaxy S23 Ultra’s OIS angles, widened its 8K30FPS recording angles by another 23°, added adaptive video digital image stabilisation, enhanced its noise reduction technology, and improved 300x Hyperlapse shooting mode.
Its 6.8-inch panel is technically identical to the previous version (3,088 x 1,440 pixels resolution Dynamic AMOLED 2X with 1-120Hz refresh rate and the same 1,750-nits peak brightness). Still, the reduced curvature and three-level Vision Booster on S23 Ultra offer a starkly improved viewing experience. It’s noticeably less distracting in more varied lighting conditions, and also less likely to catch stray reflections than its predecessor.
