The Galaxy Book 3 Ultra packs an unspecified 13th-gen Intel Core i7 or i9 CPU – Samsung did not provide precise information – a 16-inch 2880 x 1880 screen, and ...

A convertible model, the Galaxy Book3 Pro 360, flips over to become a tablet. The S23 and S23 Plus handsets are now 6.6-inch affairs distinguished by a 4,700mAh battery in the Plus and a mere 3,900 in the S23. The Galaxy Book range has been upgraded to 13th-gen Intel silicon, again with details to come. Samsung even claimed shots of the night sky will now better illustrate celestial bodies, making it possible to photograph a galaxy with a Galaxy phone. And not just any photos: the Korean colossus prefers it if those photos are beamed into the device from the Galaxy S23 Ultra, an updated smartphone that offers a 200-megapixel camera in its rear. Again, Samsung hasn't shared niceties like core counts, clock speeds, or what the "for Galaxy" moniker means.

Amon also talked about how the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is for Galaxy which leads me to believe there is some semi-customization in the S23 processor. The Galaxy S23 Ultra supports real-time ray tracing for enhanced gaming, and Samsung says its 5,000 mAh battery also lasts 20% longer. The Galaxy S23 devices boast Qualcomm's newest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 system-on-chip (SoC), and it is one of the biggest generational improvements I have ever seen in an SoC. Alongside 45% better power efficiency and 25% better Adreno GPU performance, it has 60% better performance per watt (PPW) and 90% better overall performance compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Although the raised aluminum back on the S22 and S22+ looks better in my opinion, changing the backs to match the S23 Ultra makes sense. While monikers like "Max," "Ultra" and "Pro" always help in differentiating the different levels of devices, when Samsung includes its "Ultra" in a device, it means it. However, not everyone can pull off a high-megapixel camera sensor like the Galaxy S23 Ultra's 200MP camera sensor with its pixel-binning technology and AI-powered ISP. This week Samsung announced its next-generation S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra flagship smartphones, alongside five new Ultrabook laptops in its Galaxy Book series.
