The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is the ultimate gaming mobile phone. It boasts the most powerful and efficient chip on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy. A newly designed CPU micro-architecture boosts the processing abilities of the Galaxy S23 series by about 30 per cent compared to the Galaxy S22 series which means everything from gaming to streaming is optimized and seamless. The intelligent and powerful 5000mAh battery helps conserve power without affecting performance.

 

The S23 Ultra's Dynamic AMOLED 2X display delivers clear, colorful details onscreen, whether in low-light or bright conditions. The display's 120Hz technology intelligently optimizes the refresh rate to smooth out the action and save on battery life.
