Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., has announced the global availability of its Galaxy S23
smartphones following impressive preorder results.
Preorders for the previous year’s Galaxy S22 series were a great success, with numbers more
than double that of the Galaxy S21 series within the first week. This year, preorder results for
Galaxy S23 were even higher than those of the Galaxy S22 series, with 60 per cent of consumers
opting for the most premium Galaxy S23 Ultra.
“The great momentum we’re witnessing speaks to customers’ excitement about products that
push the envelope and give them the freedom to express themselves creatively,” said President
and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, TM Roh. “This year’s preorder
numbers echo our customers’ strong trust in our brand and demonstrate how our commitment
to ground-breaking innovation and sustainability continues to resonate with consumers.”
Led by the Galaxy S23 Ultra with its new 200MP Adaptive Pixel sensor and iconic embedded S
Pen, the Galaxy S23 series – alongside the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 – represents a new era
of Samsung’s ultimate premium phone experience. The Galaxy S23 series features epic cameras
that give users more freedom to explore their creativity, the world’s fastest mobile graphics[1]
thanks to the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, and a striking design that
advances the company’s sustainability commitments with more components made using
recycled materials than in any other Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy S23 series also unlocks the next level of mobile security with Samsung Message
Guard. This powerful sandboxing tool preemptively protects against zero-click exploit attacks.
“Zero-click” exploits are the latest kind of cyberattack, and they can happen any time an image
is received on a phone. A single image could contain malicious code. Samsung Message Guard
acts as a virtual quarantine, trapping harmful images and helping to prevent opening unsafe
message.
Availability
Starting on February 17, 2023, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 will be available
on Samsung.com and through carriers and retailers in four nature-inspired matte hues:
Phantom Black, Cream, Green, and Lavender.
