And while the same is absolutely true about the past few iPhone generations, today I want to share with you the things that I would love to see in the upcoming Galaxy S23 series. These aren’t far-fetched sci-fi fantasies, but rather small details that would take the Galaxy experience to a whole new level. Here we go.
Stop with the curved screens already!
An extreme case of a curved-beyond-usable screen
I hate to give Apple as a good example, but the Cupertino guys moved away from curved screens a long time ago. Nonetheless, Samsung retains the dreadful curve for its most expensive model, the Galaxy S Ultra. Please, Samsung, use a flat screen on the Galaxy S23 Ultra!
Snapdragon for everyone!
No more hardware segregation!
Yep, it was that bad at the time—Exynos chips were inferior to their Snapdragon counterparts, both in performance and efficiency. Samsung fans outside the US had to pay the same money for Exynos-equipped Galaxy models, while the experience just wasn’t the same.
Things are far better now, and with the AMD partnership, Exynos could find its place somewhere on the broad spectrum of Galaxy models. Just don’t make that hardware segregation when it comes to flagship models. It makes people angry!
When I tested the iPhone 12 mini a couple of years ago, I was blown away by how loud and clear the sound was. Even the tiny ZenFone 9 boasts better stereo sound than most of the Galaxy S series models. Make the speakers of the Galaxy S23 series front-firing and, please, Samsung, louder!
Bring back the microSD card slot!
This belongs in a museum
Meanwhile, the Galaxy S22 Ultra doesn’t have the slot, despite its $1000+ price tag. It doesn’t make any sense. Well, of course it does, from a commercial standpoint. If you want 1TB of storage on your Galaxy Ultra, you have to pay $400 extra.
I think it would be a great advantage to have a feature that your main competitor (Apple) doesn’t have instead of taking it away to fit in. The chances of seeing a microSD card slot on a Galaxy flagship are slim, though.
Bring on some real camera magic!
It could be?
Better colors/finishes
Remember the LG G4 with its leather back? Unique!
I know that modern phones are meant to be used with a case, (which is a whole other huge issue to be discussed) but come on. If you want your phone to be “Ultra” add something unique. It doesn’t have to be leather; it can be a unique texture, material, pattern, or anything else.
And while we’re on the subject, a better color variety won’t hurt the Galaxy S23. Looking at the official colors of the previous generation, they were pretty boring, especially at launch. I want to see something brighter, let’s say orange or yellow, on the vanilla model. Keep the burgundy and black options for the Ultra if you’re worried about it, Samsung.
Don’t go bonkers with the pricing!
It’s gonna be tight after the holiday season…
Samsung usually offers great trade-in options as well, and I would love to see those when the new Galaxy S23 series comes out. It’s one of the strongest tools in Samsung’s business arsenal, and it’s a good one.
