Samsung S23 Will Miss Out on 2023's Biggest Phone Trend (CNET)

There's no satellite connectivity for the most advanced Android phones.

Qualcomm plans to expand Snapdragon Satellite beyond emergency messaging to open it up for more social texting and data use, though it may be through a more premium subscription service. Since Qualcomm's feature requires phones to be designed with Snapdragon Satellite in mind, it seems like Samsung passed on building the feature into its S23 phones from the ground up. It's also possible that Samsung's top-tier phones will lag behind Apple and even other Android flagships in emergency connectivity -- at least until the second half of the year, when Samsung's second wave of mobile devices, the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip, are expected to launch and could include satellite connectivity. So the Samsung S23 phones arriving without any satellite functionality also means they won't get to harness satellites for nonemergency communications later on. At CES 2023, chipmaker Qualcomm introduced [Snapdragon Satellite](https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/iphone-satellite-texting-like-capability-is-coming-to-android-in-2023/) chips for Android phones, and said it plans to activate service in the second half of this year. But as cutting edge as Samsung's new premium phones are, they won't have satellite texting, which is quickly turning into one of [2023's biggest phone trends](https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/iphone-14s-emergency-sos-launched-the-year-of-satellite-texting/).

For this generation the Galaxy S23 and S23+ have adopted the styling of the Ultra by removing the Contour Cut camera housing and leaving just the three camera lenses. Samsung is already accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy S22 and S23+, sales will start in a couple of weeks. The batteries on the S23 and S23+ are 200mAh larger than their predecessors, bringing the totals to 3,900mAh and 4,700mAh, respectively. The both of them have centered punch holes for the selfie camera and have a fingerprint reader tucked underneath. That camera still has a 50MP sensor, which (thanks to the new chipset) can record 8K video at 30fps (up from 24fps last year). The phones come with several storage configurations, but RAM is fixed at 8GB (as it was last year and the year before that).
