Though the year is almost finished, there are already several phone-related rumors circulating. Although it's difficult to predict exactly what the smartphone market will look like in 2023, as firms like Apple, Google, and Samsung mostly follow the same launch schedule each year, informed estimates may be made.
For instance, the iPhone 15 series is scheduled to release in September and may have USB-C charging for the first time. One of the first new phones we'll see in 2023 will be the Galaxy S23 if Samsung sticks to its usual release schedule.
These launches would occur after the smartphone industry made small but significant advancements in 2022. For emergency situations and auto collision detection, the iPhone, for instance, now has satellite connectivity, while Google discovered new applications for its Tensor chip in the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. Samsung, on the other hand, updated the camera and gave its top Galaxy S range a new design.
Here are the new phones that, according to past launch cycles, speculations, and reports, we may expect to see in 2023.
Apple iPhone 15 lineup
What we anticipate: Apple always introduces its new iPhone line around September, and there is no reason to think 2023 would be any different. One of the greatest changes we anticipate seeing in Apple's next iPhones is the implementation of USB-C charging. By 2024, all new phones sold in the area must enable USB-C charging, according to a recent directive from the European Union. Apple stated that it would abide by these regulations, however it was unclear if this meant that USB-C would take precedence starting in 2023. Additionally, it is unclear whether a USB-C iPhone will be available worldwide or only in Europe.
Otherwise, standard adjustments like camera improvements and a new CPU are expected to be made. The well-known Apple product forecaster Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities claims that the company may take additional steps to differentiate the iPhone 15 Pro from the standard iPhone 15 in the future.
With the iPhone 14 generation, it already took a step in that approach by restricting the availability of features like Dynamic Island and the new A16 Bionic CPU to the Pro line. But what's more intriguing, in Kuo's opinion, is the notion that Apple would further distinguish the bigger iPhone 15 Pro Max from the more compact iPhone 15 Pro. The screen size is the primary distinction between the Pro and Pro Max. Giving the Pro Max some more benefits would persuade customers even more to go out on Apple's largest (and most costly) iPhone. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple may eventually rename the iPhone Pro Max to the iPhone Ultra in order to more closely resemble other items like the Apple Watch Ultra.
Why it makes me happy: The biggest reason to get excited about Apple's next smartphone is probably the long-awaited switch to USB-C for the iPhone. With the transition, iPhone customers will now be able to use the same charging cable to charge their iPhone, iPad, and Mac, which will reduce friction and make the iPhone even more practical. I'm also interested to see whether Apple makes any other distinctions between the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I've advocated that Apple should equip their giant iPhones with extra features that make use of their larger screens, much like the iPad.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Lineup
What we anticipate: According to reports, Samsung's Galaxy S23 might have significant improvements to the camera and design, two areas that have long been top priorities for the South Korean tech giant.
According to a renowned leaker who goes by the handle Ice Universe on Twitter, the speculated Galaxy S23 Ultra might include a 200-megapixel primary camera. On paper, that seems like a significant improvement over the 108-megapixel primary sensor of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. But it's crucial to keep in mind that aspects like sensor size and speed also have a significant impact on image quality. According to Ice Universe, the new 200-megapixel sensor is only said to be somewhat bigger than the one in the iPhone 14 Pro and a little bit smaller than other Android flagships.
Samsung could potentially alter the appearance of the standard Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus so that it more closely resembles the Ultra variant. Samsung may replace the camera bulge on the S23 and S23 Plus with the protruding lenses featured on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, according to images from reputable leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer. Together with Hemmerstoffer, the photographs were posted on the tech blogs Smartprix and Digit.
Samsung often uses Qualcomm's most recent mobile processor in the new version of its phones that are introduced in the United States and some other areas, albeit we are not exactly what to anticipate in terms of performance. Therefore, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will probably be included in Samsung's next Galaxy phone. Among other improvements, the new CPU delivers increased power efficiency, ray tracing for better visuals in mobile games, and updated AI that can better distinguish you from your Zoom backdrop. Analyst Kuo even thinks Samsung might stop using its own Exynos chips and switch the Galaxy S23 entirely to Qualcomm.
Why I'm Excited: Smartphone cameras have already advanced to the point where I'm interested to see if Samsung's 200-megapixel sensor truly makes a Notable Difference. In any case, it will be intriguing to watch how Samsung improves the photography experience in the S23 lineup considering the recent escalation of competition from Google's Pixel line. I also support the expected redesign of the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus to more closely match the Galaxy S23 Ultra. According to the renderings, it appears more streamlined and clean than the camera bulge on the Galaxy S22.
Google Pixel 7A
What we anticipate: If Google sticks to its pattern, the Pixel 7A, a less expensive variant of the Pixel 7, might be released in the spring or summer. There are currently few rumors about the Pixel 7A. However, developer Kuba Wojciechowski claims to have located information in the Android core that may be related to the Pixel 7A, indicating that some very big enhancements are in the works.
According to Wojciechowski's research, the Pixel 7A could offer wireless charging and a screen with a higher refresh rate of 90Hz, two features that are conspicuously lacking from the Pixel 6A. The Pixel 7A will likely have a very similar style to its predecessor, according to leaked renderings from Hemmerstoffer that were once again posted on Smartprix.
The same Tensor G2 CPU and camera system found in the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro may also be found in the Pixel 7A, along with wide- and ultrawide-angle sensor configurations. That is, of course, assuming that the Pixel 7A follows in the footsteps of the Pixel 6A.
Why it makes me happy: From a value perspective, Google's A-series Pixel phones are quite outstanding. Because of this, the Pixel 6A is our top Android phone under $500 and has won a CNET Editors' Choice award. Google will be an even more powerful competitor to Samsung in the low-cost phone market if it can fix the Pixel 6A's few minor flaws while keeping the same price of $449.
Google Pixel 8 Lineup
What to expect: Although Google's Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are just a few months old, speculations regarding the Pixel 8 family have already begun to circulate. According to the German tech site WinFuture, publicly accessible code contains mentions to two upcoming Pixel devices. These two devices are powered by a new CPU with the codename "Zuma," according to the research, and are known by the codenames "Shiba" and "Husky." According to WinFuture, the code also reveals that these smartphones will use Android 14 and have 12GB of RAM.
Why I'm interested in it: Since there haven't been many speculations regarding the anticipated Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, there isn't much to be excited about just now. But I'm most curious to see what new capabilities Google's next processor will give its phones. With the latest Tensor chips from Google, functions like Magic Eraser and Face Unblur for bettering photo quality and the capacity to add speaker labels to transcripts in the Recorder app appear to be helpful and practical in daily life. That gets me curious about Google's potential future directions.
Samsung Galaxy A54 5G
What to expect: Samsung may be best known for its Galaxy S gadgets, but if you're on a strict budget, you should pay attention to its line of Galaxy A phones. Following the release of the Galaxy A53 5G in the spring, the Galaxy A54 5G is anticipated to be the following phone in this series.
According to the scant number of leaks that have leaked so far, the Galaxy A54 5G will only be somewhat superior to the A53 5G. It is anticipated to sport a triple back camera and a 6.4-inch screen, which is somewhat smaller than the A53's 6.5-inch display. That's according to the leaker Hemmerstoffer, who provided images with the tech blog 91Mobiles that purported to depict the design of the Galaxy A54 5G. According to a rumor from the Dutch technology website Galaxy Club, the A54 5G could feature a somewhat bigger battery than its forerunner.
Why I'm Excited About It: The Galaxy A53 5G seemed much more costly than it actually was when I tried it shortly after its introduction. Although it isn't ideal, Samsung's Galaxy A53 5G offers a complete package for the money. I'm hopeful that the popularity of Google's Pixel A series will spur Samsung to improve its low-cost phone lineup even more.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
Although most people are still unfamiliar with foldable phones, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold will be on its fifth iteration in 2023. According to Korean news source The Elec, Samsung's next phone-tablet hybrid may include a space for storing the company's S Pen pen, a lighter build, and a less obvious crease. The story didn't specifically state that the Z Fold 5 will include these upgrades, but it did mention that Samsung has identified them as challenges that must be addressed to increase the popularity of folding phones.
Otherwise, we can definitely anticipate periodic updates to the Galaxy Z Fold 5's camera and chipset. This year, Samsung has improved the Z Fold 4's multitasking capabilities, such as the capability to utilize the bottom third of the screen as a little touchpad while the display is folded in half. So there's a potential that in the future, we'll also see more software improvements.
We're likely to see the next Z Fold around that time next year as Samsung regularly unveils its new folding smartphones in August.
Why I'm Excited: The Galaxy Z Fold 5 requires much more than just an integrated S Pen to make foldables popular. Making the S Pen a greater part of the experience, though, would help clarify the purpose and target audience for the Z Fold. Considering that Samsung is pitching the Z Fold 5 as a gadget focused on work, having an inbuilt S Pen seems like a logical choice. The S Pen is compatible with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Fold 3, however they must be purchased separately.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
What we anticipate: According to Ross Young, co-founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, Samsung's upcoming flip phone may have a bigger cover screen and a less obvious seam. According to a recent tweet from Ross, the Z Flip 5 will have a cover display that is around three inches wide and a new hinge style that could make the crease less obvious. That would be a significant improvement over the 1.9-inch cover screen on the existing Z Flip 4. There's a potential that, similar to the Z Fold 5, we'll see general upgrades to the camera and software in addition to a new CPU.
Why I'm Excited: By significantly enlarging the cover screen, the Z Flip would fix one of its main drawbacks. In his assessment of the Z Flip 4, my colleague Patrick Holland noted that the cover screen was the main area where Samsung might have improved. The Z Flip 5's battery life is another area where I'm expecting for enhancements, since Samsung's current flip phone could need some work.
OnePlus 11
What to expect: The OnePlus 11 5G will launch in the first half of 2019, with the company announcing that it would ship on February 7 along with the OnePlus Buds Pro 2. In addition to this occasion, there are various speculations that speculate on what the phone may have when it is finally shown. According to renderings by Hemmerstoffer posted on the blog GadgetGang, the OnePlus 11's revamped circular camera module may be one of the device's greatest updates. Similar to what the camera bar has done for the Pixel 6 and 7 series, it has a unique appearance that may help set the OnePlus 11's design apart from that of other Android devices.
The phone will reportedly include a 6.7-inch screen, Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU, up to 16GB of RAM, and a 5,000-mAh battery with 100-watt charging, according to Hemmerstoffer. 50, 48, and 32 megapixel sensors would be present in the camera. The boost in charging speed from OnePlus' already quick 80-watt charging, which is regrettably limited to just 65 watts in the US, makes it especially noteworthy.
Why I'm Excited About It: In recent years, OnePlus' costs have become closer to those of the competitors it intends to undercut, despite the company's reputation as the "flagship killer." Despite this, OnePlus is still known for offering inexpensive products with premium features like speedy charging. According to my colleague Andrew Lanxon, who evaluated the OnePlus 10 Pro, it was quite close to being a fantastic iPhone rival. However, limitations like the absence of 80-watt charging in the US and a somewhat underwhelming camera kept it from being as good as it may have been. OnePlus should make these improvements in its upcoming model.
The battery and charging experience, along with camera and design enhancements, appear to be some of the main advancements we anticipate seeing on all new smartphones in 2023. As new devices from Samsung, Apple, OnePlus, and Google are released throughout the year, we'll learn more.
