About Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G Premium Edition presents a striking slab of glass and metal that measures 78.1 by 163.4 by 8.9 millimetres and tips the scales at 233 grams. Its front is dominated by a 6.81‑inch AM‑OLED panel that delivers a crisp 1440 by 3088 pixel resolution, offering vivid colours and deep blacks typical of Samsung’s display technology. The device’s slim profile and relatively light weight make it comfortable to hold despite its large screen, while the premium‑edition badge hints at a refined finish and added exclusivity.

Under the hood, the phone runs Google Android 13 (Tiramisu) and is equipped with 12 gigabytes of RAM, paired with a generous 512 gigabytes of internal storage for apps, media and files. Connectivity is handled by a 5G modem that supports TD‑LTE carrier aggregation, ensuring fast network speeds where available, and the device accommodates a single SIM card. Powering the experience is a 5 000 milliampere‑hour battery that can be replenished via a 15‑watt wired charger, providing enough endurance for a full day of typical use.

This variant

This variant is labelled as the global edition, meaning it lacks the carrier‑ or market‑specific branding found in models such as the US‑only UW versions, the Japanese JP models, the Canadian CA model, or the China/HK/TW and Korean KR editions. Its spec sheet notes the Linux kernel version as 5.15.41, a detail not mentioned in the base model’s description, which only cited Android 13. While the base model and this version both ship with a single SIM slot, several other listed variants—like the SM‑S9180 and the SM‑S918B/DS 256 GB/1TB models—are explicitly dual‑SIM, setting this global model apart in that regard.
