Samsung Galaxy S23 base storage will be 256 GB
Samsung is launching all Galaxy S23 smartphones with at least 256 GB storage, according to the latest rumor claims. According to Ahmed Qwaider on Twitter, the 128 GB option is gone, meaning there wonât be an 8 GB RAM version of the Galaxy S23 Ultra - only 12 GB.
The leakster posted only one storage option for the S23 and S23+ but three versions of the Ulta, raising a question of whether it is a full list of variants or only the top-tier phone is listed in full.
The Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ both started from 8/128 GB, but now the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 will have 8/256 GB as the base variant. The Galaxy S23 Ultra will have three choices - 12/256 GB, 12/512 GB, and 12 GB/1 TB.
The storage chips in the 2022 flagships were the UFS 3.1 solution, but we expect the Galaxy S23 series to switch to UFS 4.0 - it brings 2x faster read speed and 1.6x faster sequential write speed. Thereâs also a 46% improvement in power efficiency, which would increase the battery life of the bigger cells.
