There is very little mystery surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at this point. We already have pretty much the entire spec sheet, including details on the new 200MP main camera sensor plus alleged US pricing. Samsung even opened up early bookings for the still unannounced S23 family for the most impatient. It appears that at this point we are pretty much running out the clock on the February 1st announcement.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra retail box
Or at least most of us are. If you happen to live in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, there might just be a way to get a Galaxy S23 Ultra early. A local store called KM CELL STORE shared a post on its Facebook page claiming to have and display at least four S23 Ultra units. As described in the description – 12 GB RAM and 512 GB storage models, ready for immediate delivery.
Store’s post
No price is shared with the post, but there are a few images showing the boxes as well as an unpackaged unit in pink.
As a quick refresher, we expect the S23 Ultra to be quite similar to its predecessor (the S22 Ultra), even borrowing its ultra-wide, 3x and 10x telephoto camera units with a new 200MP main camera. The screen will be a 6.8” 2X Dynamic AMOLED with 1440p resolution, 500 ppi and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on top. We also expect the same 5,000 mAh battery with 45W charging. Also – Android 13 and One UI 5.1 on top, while connectivity features should include Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC and UWB.
