Samsung Galaxy S23 range could be here sooner than we thought

One very accurate leaker has suggested the exact date when the flagship Android phone could launch

The Samsung Galaxy S23 range is one of the most anticipated Android phones of 2023. Samsung's flagship range looks set to feature the same three models we saw this year, with a vanilla model, a larger but otherwise similar Plus variant, and the top-of-the-line Ultra model.

Earlier this week, we reported on the Samsung Galaxy S23 release date being delayed. That report suggested that internal disputes over the pricing of the handsets was set to hold up their release for another week or two beyond the mid-February date that had been rumoured.

That's the name given to the event where Samsung unveils its new handsets, and seems to fall slightly earlier than previous generations – the Samsung Galaxy S22, Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra were all unveiled towards the end of February, for example. 

There may well have been some truth in that, but the small upgrades made a massive difference, and allowed for a host of software upgrades which massively improved the device overall. Hopefully, the new Galaxy range will follow suit. We've already seen images taken by the monstrous 200MP camera on the S23 Ultra, and that plus the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip should allow for a really capable handset.
