Samsung's updated lineup is led by the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which has a slightly changed design, a 200-megapixel primary camera sensor, and more storage for the same price as last year. It costs $1,199.99, the same as last year, but it comes with 256MB more storage.

In years, Samsung is making the most significant change to the camera on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The new top-of-the-line phone has a camera with 200 megapixels, which is about twice as many pixels as the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Samsung's latest attempt to get people to upgrade is the Galaxy S23 line, which includes the $1,000 Galaxy S23 Plus and the $800 Galaxy S23. The Galaxy S23 line also includes the $1,000 Galaxy S23 Plus.

Samsung just announced a new image sensor with the exact resolution as the 200-megapixel camera on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, so it's not a big surprise that the Galaxy S23 Ultra also has a 200-megapixel camera.

But the number of megapixels doesn't tell you everything. Image quality is also affected by the camera's sensor size, speed, and the algorithms used to process images, so we'll have to test the phone to see if this is a huge step forward.
