Samsung seems to have upped its preparations for the Galaxy S23 launch. The company is rapidly acquiring necessary regulatory approvals for the upcoming phones. Over the past few weeks, we have seen the devices pick up certifications from the FCC (the US), TENAA (China), BIS (India), and many other regulatory agencies. We can now add Thailand’s NBTC to the list. The vanilla Galaxy S23 recently popped up on the NBTC website bearing the previously seen model number SM-S911B/DS.
As usual, this certification doesn’t reveal any new information about the upcoming Samsung flagship. It confirms 5G cellular connectivity and dual-SIM support in the country. But more importantly, it’s another indication that the company has finalized everything for the Galaxy S23 series. The company could begin mass production of the devices anytime now. Perhaps if rumors are anything to go by, mass production may already be underway at one of its factories.
We may still have to wait about two months more for the official unveiling of the Galaxy S23 phones, though. Reports coming from Samsung’s homeland recently suggested that the company has locked an “early February” date for its next Galaxy Unpacked event where it will announce the new flagships. Unfortunately, we don’t yet have a precise date for the event. But considering the pace at which Samsung is proceeding, we wouldn’t be surprised if the devices arrive in January itself.
The Galaxy S23 series will bring plenty of upgrades
When the Galaxy S23 rumors first started coming in, there were hints that it will be Samsung’s smallest flagship upgrade in years. But those rumors were based on the fact that the company isn’t changing the design this year. The new ones will pretty much look the same as their respective predecessors. But on the inside, we will have plenty of upgrades. The biggest of them all will be the processors. Samsung is finally going global with Snapdragon chips inside its flagships. There will not be any Exynos-powered Galaxy S23 next year.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra will also have another huge upgrade, a 200MP primary rear camera. Additionally, Samsung is equipping the new phones with bigger batteries, improved displays, larger and faster under-display fingerprint scanners, and the latest RAM and storage standards. Long story short, you should not sleep on the upcoming devices even though they don’t get any design overhaul. We should soon get to learn more about the Galaxy S23 series as the company prepares for its launch.
