Lineup
Dimensions
The Galaxy S23 series includes three devices, which share the same lineup and screen sizes with the previous Galaxy S22 series. The entry-level Galaxy S23 features a flat 6.1-inch (155 mm) display. The Galaxy S23+ features similar hardware in a larger 6.6-inch (168 mm) form factor, faster charging rate and larger battery capacity. At the top of the lineup, the Galaxy S23 Ultra features a curved 6.8-inch (173 mm) display with the largest battery capacity in the lineup.
Performance
Unlike the Samsung Galaxy S22 and previous generations, which in some African and all European and Latin American countries utilized Samsung's own Exynos chip, the Galaxy S23 series uses the Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip in all countries, a first for the series.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, which is a special version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 developed specifically for Samsung, includes an Octa-Core CPU and an Adreno 740 GPU with a Qualcomm X70 modem for connectivity.

“Samsung Galaxy S23” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Samsung, Galaxy and line provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q115127699. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023 and 2024.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account.
