Here’s how much they cost in the UK:

In the pre-sale offer, Samsung gives a free upgrade to the higher memory tier, and customers can also opt for trade-ins. Pre-sale offer is valid until February 16.

This year, Samsung flagships use only Qualcomm processors, in addition – modified especially for this series. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy has an increased clock speed of the main, efficient core – from the standard 3.2 to 3.36 GHz. The processors work with LPDDR5x and UFS 4.0 memories (except for the Galaxy S23 128 GB, where it is 3.1), and also support the eSIM standard. We will also find double speakers with Dolby Atmos, under-screen fingerprint readers, and the Android 13 operating system with One UI 5.1 interface. Samsung flagship housings boast metal frames, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 panels and IP68 water and dust resistance. All models are equipped with 10-watt inductive charging, but traditionally there were no chargers in the sets. All three smartphones will be available in four colors: black, cream, green and lavender.
