When Samsung first released the S22 Ultra in March 2022, it sold for between $900 and $1,500, depending on the variants you choose. The 128GB version is the least expensive, while its 2TB option is the priciest. We don’t expect a price drop in the upcoming S23 Ultra, and based on precedence, each option might add between $100 and $150 increments.<\/p>\n
On the contrary, the current S22 Ultra is witnessing a significant price cut, thanks to Black Friday deals and the fact that many carriers want to quickly sell it off for the new S23 Ultra. Therefore, if you are price-conscious and would want to save some bucks while getting one of the best smartphones around, the S22 Ultra is OK. But if your budget can accommodate whatever price increment comes with the new S23 Ultra, you can move to the next point below.<\/p>\n
How Intensive Is Your Smartphone Usage?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\nIt doesn’t make much economic sense to spend so much on a device you wouldn’t use up to 50% of its features. If you only use your phone for calls, web surfing, social media chatting, photography, and entertainment, the S22 Ultra is already a great device for this. You don’t need to wait for the S23 Ultra.<\/p>\n
However, let’s say you do a bit of designing with your phone or you regularly play graphics-intensive games, an upgrade might be in order. A new phone release always comes with better software and hardware improvements. And as for the forthcoming S23 Ultra, we are already in the know of some of the features it packs. I will briefly touch on a few of them.<\/p>\n
<\/b>1. Design<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\nIf what we are hearing about the S23 design is anything to go by, there won’t be any difference in design from its S22 predecessor. Samsung is likely to retain the 6.8 inches size and the rectangular look, with most of the changes occurring at the software level. Therefore, design alone does not suffice as a reason to wait for the new flagship.<\/p>\n
<\/b>2. Improved Camera<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\nMany leaks reveal that Samsung will probably abandon its 40MP front camera sensor for a less-megapixel alternative. The S23 Ultra will most likely come with a 12MP front camera sensor, but with a higher quality than the former. As such, even though S23 Ultra will not have as many pixels as its predecessor, you will be able to take a clearer and better selfie with it.<\/p>\n
Besides, the main or rear camera is to witness a significant upgrade from its current 108MP to 200MP. This improvement portends a significant boost to the new flagship’s ability to take breathtaking images. Therefore, if photography is one thing you use your phone for, it’s worth waiting for the new Galaxy S22 Ultra.<\/p>\n

Samsung will most likely want to match the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s A15 Bionic chipset by introducing an upgrade to its current processor. The reports available from multiple leaks suggests an upgrade that could see the Android phone giant ramp up its chipset to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in its new release. Of course, the new chipset will outperform the current one in almost every department, making it a significant reason to wait for it if you are an intensive user.<\/p>\n
