Description:
A case leak suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra could have much bigger lenses than the S22 Ultra.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

For months now weve been hearing that the main and perhaps only camera upgrade on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra would be a new 200MP primary sensor, but a leak now suggests that we might see improvements to two of the other rear lenses, as well.

Seemingly official leather cases for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra are being sold on the German eBay site as spotted by leaker SnoopyTech and at first glance they look like they could fit a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra .

But @UniverseIce another leaker has posted an image of one of these side by side with the equivalent case for the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and there are some clear differences. S22 Ultra vs S23 Ultra pic.twitter.com/HuLmBAhNr7 January 9, 2023 See more

As well as the power and volume buttons being slightly lower on the new
cases, the three largest camera lens cut-outs are bigger than on the case for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Assuming the cameras are arranged in the same way on the S23 Ultra, that
means the main lens, the ultra-wide and the periscope lens could all be
bigger this year.

In the case of the main camera, thats no surprise, since reports suggest its moving from a 108MP sensor to a new 200MP one, but for the additional
sensors, wed once again see a 12MP ultra-wide camera and a 10MP periscope, with 10x optical zoom.

Of course, we still might see those things. These case images might be inaccurate, and even if theyre right, theres a high chance Samsung has just upped the size of the other lenses to make them more uniform, without
actually improving the cameras behind. But it gives us hope that there might be some unknown upgrades. Analysis: with or without additional upgrades, the S23 Ultra will be the camera phone to beat in 2023

While wed love to see Samsung make meaningful improvements to the ultra-wide and telephoto cameras on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, even without those things, this is likely to be the best camera phone on the planet when it launches.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra currently tops our list of the best camera
phones , so unless Samsung really drops the ball with this rumored 200MP sensor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is likely to take its place at the top of the list.

Samsungs zoom photography is already way ahead of the competition too, so the company probably doesnt have much incentive to improve the telephoto cameras right now, and with four lenses to play with, the S22 Ultra is already a more versatile camera phone than most flagships.

So while these case images give us some hope that well see additional
upgrades to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultras cameras, theres a high chance we wont, and that wont stop this being the ultimate camera phone.

Still, if there are minimal upgrades then that gives the likes of the iPhone 15 and other anticipated phones the chance to catch up.
