Germany's WinFuture has published the specs for two of the models that are part of the upcoming Galaxy S23 series that will be unveiled on February 1st. The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ will get rid of the camera island reducing sharply the protrusion of the rear camera lenses. That might be the most striking design change for the two models.

The Galaxy S23 will sport a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED display while the Galaxy S23+ will feature a 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen. The screens on both phones will carry an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340, support for a 120Hz refresh rate, and have Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.

The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ will come with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and in some markets, the Galaxy S23 will be available with 128GB of storage. In other places, like the U.S., one tipster says that there will be one option only: 256GB for the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+. Neither model will come with a microSD slot and the European models will include support for two NanoSIM cards and one eSIM. The latter, known as embedded SIM, is a chip that is soldered on the phone's motherboard.

No camera island is expected for the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+

Both models will feature a 50MP primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera delivering 3x optical zoom. The 12MP front-facing selfie camera will include auto-focus and carry an f/2.2 aperture. 8K video is shot at 30 frames per second (fps) while 4K video is shot at 60fps. We should see improvements in the shooting and recording of photos and videos shot under low-light conditions.

Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S23+

The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ will be powered by a 3900mAh and 4700mAh battery respectively. The Galaxy S23 supports 25W fast charging while the Galaxy S23+ will allow you to replenish the battery at 45W. Wireless charging features a 10W rate and reverse wireless charging is once again available to those who don't mind sharing their battery to help friends, family, and even strangers get some power before their devices die.
