Samsung launched the new Galaxy S23 series with an Epic House Party that showcased its commitment of bringing innovation and sustainability.
Consisting of S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra – the Galaxy S23 series introduces latest innovations that deliver ultimate premium phone experiences, including the cinematic Nightography videos with transformative AI, the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, and an embedded S Pen that offers more possibilities for productivity, all housed within a design that advances the company’s sustainability commitment.
At the launch, guests were able to witness the latest innovations at the Epic Rooms, where experiential installations brought to life what makes the Galaxy S23 series so exciting. The most advanced camera system in the Galaxy was seen through the Epic Nightography room which features different stations where guests can take pictures, with neon décor to accentuate the retro, nightlife aesthetic.
The Nightography room showcased the Galaxy S23’s enhanced Nightography feature which includes a new AI-powered image signal processing (ISP) algorithm that enhances object details and color tone under low-light conditions, making images at night crisper and more detailed compared to older Night Mode features in the Samsung line.
The Nightography room has three stations: Night Selfie, Night Video, and Night Portrait. The Night Selfie station allows guests to take a selfie in the dark, surrounded by neon lights, as Nightography is also available in selfie mode. Night Video, however, allows guests to record themselves in the dark surrounded by reflective panels to boost the Galaxy S23’s ability to capture motion while light conditions are low. Finally, the Night Portrait room allows guests to take a portrait of themselves surrounded by colored lights to show the Galaxy S23’s enhanced Nightography feature in portrait mode.
The video quality of the series has also improved, with enhanced 8K video at 30fps with a wider angle for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The Epic Passions room, on the other hand, features larger-than-life installation and three stations: Productivity, Gaming and Self Expression Zones.
The new Galaxy S23 series allows one to connect with other devices in the Samsung line creating an ecosystem, where you can multitask with different passions at the same time.
The Samsung Multi Control feature connects the Samsung S23 to the Samsung PC and tablet with mouse and keyboard functionality. The embedded S-Pen on the Samsung S23 Ultra allows users to collaborate with other people in making projects through the co-editing feature in Google Meets live sharing, made possible by the collaboration of Samsung Notes and Google Meet. This makes the S23 series the most functionally flexible series yet.
Powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile processor for Galaxy and an improved battery life, the Galaxy S23 series can be used for mobile gaming, with a fun installation of favorite video game characters. The Galaxy S23 Ultra, which is energized by a 5000mAh battery, powers a larger camera than Galaxy S22 Ultra without increasing the device’s size.
For those who love to customize their phones, the Self Expression Zones is perfect for them. From phone cases to home screen, one can add favorite apps, widgets and folders to make one’s Galaxy S23 truly one’s own.
Finally, guests were able to be introduced to the importance of sustainability and how the Galaxy S23 series was designed with the planet in mind. This was done in the Epic Sustainability room where a Flotilla installation made with recyclable materials and other sustainable products by renowned sustainable artist, Leeroy New, was the room’s showpiece.
As Samsung’s most sustainable line of mobile devices, the Galaxy S23 series is made from pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass and post-consumer recycled plastics sourced from discarded fishing nets, PET bottles, and water barrels. It is also the first S series to market their screens made of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, the most durable glass yet made with 22% pre-consumed recycled material.
The Galaxy series comes in cream, green, lavender, and phantom black colors. Prices start at PhP53,990 for S23, PhP68,990 for S23+, and PhP81,990 for S23 Ultra.
