The Samsung Galaxy S23 will sit at the bottom of the upcoming flagship smartphone lineup. It has been spotted on the FCC website. The listing reveals that the Galaxy S23 has the model number SM-S911B, whereas the S23 Plus has the model number SM-S916B. The listings confirm that both phones will offer 25W fast charging support.

The design renders and other details of both models have leaked in the past. According to the leaked renders, the phones will sport three circular camera cutout rings on the back, next to which is the LED flash module. The frame is mostly flat but the rear panel curves slightly into it, which could offer a better grip and an in-hand feel.
There is a hole-punch cutout at the top of the screen, which is flat and surrounded by thin bezels. The vanilla model will sport a 6.1-inch Full HD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate support, whereas the S23 Plus will sport a 6.6-inch screen. Samsung is likely to launch the phones with a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera and a 10MP telephoto camera. The telephoto camera is likely to support up to 3x optical zoom.
For selfies, there will be a 32MP front camera. The devices could feature 8GB/12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. They will boot Android 13-based One UI 5.0 out of the box.
Samsung is also said to introduce a satellite connectivity feature, which should help users reach out to emergency services when in a no-network area.
