This year, according to industry rumors, the focus will likely be on consolidating the segment folding with the appearance of flexible screens that roll up.

Below are the launches scheduled for 2023 in top of the line phonesbrand by brand.

SAMSUNG

The world’s top handset maker, Samsung, will be the first to launch a handset in 2023. While the South Korean tech giant hasn’t given any hints as to what it will introduce, it is expected to debut its new family of Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra devices.

With no official data so far, even if leaks are commonplace, the next Korean “tank” to compete directly with the iPhone 15 would be its Galaxy S23 Ultra version, which would have the new generation of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor fabricated in 4nm ea huge 200 megapixel camera sensor.

On the other hand, new foldable phones from the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip 5 line are expected, perhaps with the first foldable with a 108-megapixel camera, by mid-2023. The Galaxy A34 and A74 would also be part of it. the catalog to do battle in the midrange.

Motorola

For his part, Motorola plan for a 2023 likely focused on expanding the Edge family with the future edition Edge 40 Ultra and even throw two models with flexible screenone of them during the first half of the year.

The future model in its premium line – codenamed XT2301 – will come with a screen resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 144Hz, according to initial rumors. But the most surprising thing will be its top model (Ultra?) with 18GB of RAM, 512GB of internal memory and a camera module with a 200 megapixel main sensor.

Motorola, on the other hand, promises to be the protagonist among the main brands with the probable announcement of its new smartphone with a vertical roll-up screen, which bears the code name Happyand that it would arrive only at the end of 2023.

This particular development was showcased during Lenovo Tech World 22 by the 312 Labs group of Motorola engineers from around the world.

The company intends to take a step beyond the well-known flexible screen concept, as seen with generations of Razr phones, through flexible OLED, or pOLED, screens that can go from 6.5 inches to a retractable size depending on whether they’re being used for the video game game or keep it in your pocket.

As usual, news will also be expected from the G family, the brand’s best-seller and global promoter of mid-range telephony. The models will certainly continue the legacy left by many of the ones we saw in 2022: screens with refresh rates ranging from 90 to 120Hz, 5G connectivity and batteries for more than 24 hours of autonomy.

Manzana

As usual, Apple mobile phones are also the protagonists. It is expected that the iPhones 15 finally meet the demands of the European Union and put endpoint to the Lightning charging portthe same one it has installed in its devices since 2012. In this way, the next generation of iPhone‌ will be the first with a USB-C connector in the more than ten years of the family.

Apple introduced the new notification bar Dynamic Island for iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, the top of the range of the family; while the cheaper ‌iPhone 14‌ models repeated the notches (notch) usual for selfie camera. With the ‌iPhone 15‌, this functionality should also extend to budget models.

Where there would be no changes would be in the screen size, according to the first rumors. The ‌iPhone 15‌ and 15 Pro will keep the 6.1 inches of their predecessors, and the same will happen with the ‌iPhone 15‌ Plus and Pro Max versions which will have 6.7 inches.

Other indiscretions, such as that of the analyst Mark Gurman of Bloombergsaid Apple may replace the version ‘Pro Max’ of the ‌iPhone 15‌ with a new high-end ‘Ultra’ model. The name change for the top-of-the-range model resembles that of rival Samsung with the Galaxy S line.

On the other hand, the ‌iPhone 15‌ Pro models may be the first to feature the 3-nanometer A17 chip instead of the current A16 chip in the iPhone 14. The presence of this technology is expected to boost computing performance between 10 and 15 percent, while also reducing energy consumption by up to 30 percent.

As part of its logical evolution, the ‌iPhone 15‌ Pro models could gain processing speed from the current 6 to 8 GB of RAM.

Apple is also likely to improve the camera with a better sensor that redefines image quality. According to TrendForce, the iPhone 15 may have an additional eighth optical element (8P) for the main lens, which would help improve image detail.

Additionally, the iPhone 15 Pro Max may come with a 10x optical zoom (a huge leap over the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s 3x optical zoom). This 10x zoom would use a periscope lens design similar to many Android phones, including the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

For the second half of the year the Xiaomi 13T and the Xiaomi 13T Pro should appear, according to the first rumors and what can be seen at the World Cell Phone Congress (MWC 2023) which will begin at the end of February in Barcelona.

As for the features of these models, such as the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro, it is expected that they will have the famous built-in 200W fast charging to fully recharge the battery in minutes.

As for the processor, Xiaomi will follow the path of Samsung and Motorola by adopting the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which they recently announced in Hawaii. Maybe starting with 8GB of RAM, though maybe that number will eventually increase to 12GB.

On the other hand, the Chinese brand could bring any of the Redmi Note 12 5G, Redmi Note 12 Pro, Redmi Note 12 Pro+ and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ Explorer Edition to the country after its presentation in early 2023; even if many of these models will be marketed only in China.
