The year 2022 it was
The year 2022 was a terrific one for phones, but since the tech sector never sleeps, we’re now looking forward to the smartphones of 2023, several of which are already proving to be very intriguing. There is always something coming because of how quickly smartphones are evolving. As soon as the newest phone is spotted, anticipation is already building for the next big thing.
The most anticipated phones for 2023
The Samsung Galaxy S23 series and the iPhone 15 line are among the most anticipated smartphones of 2023, and we’ve already heard a lot about them thanks to leaks and rumors. But there are other incoming phones from less well-known but no less intriguing brands, such as Xiaomi, Sony, and others, that are less noticeable.
We’ve already heard quite a bit about important smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S23 series and the iPhone 15 line thanks to leaks and rumors, and they undoubtedly rank among the most anticipated phones of 2023. However, there are also less obvious but no less intriguing future phones from companies like Xiaomi, Sony, and others.
Anticipation for iPhone 15
Apple typically introduces its new iPhone line around September, and there is no reason to think 2023 will be any different. One of the greatest changes we anticipate seeing in Apple’s upcoming iPhones is the implementation of USB-C charging.
By 2024, all new phones sold in the region 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.
The biggest reason to get excited about Apple’s upcoming 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.
Anticipation for the Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup
According to the reports, Samsung’s Galaxy S23 may have some significant improvements to the camera and design, two features that have long been top priorities for the South Korean tech giant.
A 200-megapixel main camera might be included in the anticipated Galaxy S23 Ultra. Samsung’s announcement of a new 200-megapixel camera sensor in mid-January increased rumors that it will be included in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. On paper, that seems like a significant improvement over the 108-megapixel primary sensor of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
I’m interested to see whether a 200-megapixel sensor actually makes a noticeable difference because smartphone cameras have already advanced to such an extent. In any case, it will be intriguing to watch how Samsung improves the camera experience in the S23 lineup considering the recent escalation of competition from Google’s Pixel line.
Anticipation for Google Pixel 7A
If Google sticks to precedent, the Pixel 7A, a less expensive variant of the Pixel 7, may debut 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.
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.
Anticipation for OnePlus 11 5G
Another phone that has already been announced is the OnePlus 11, which was presented on January 4 in China and is one of the very first devices of 2023. However, it won’t go live until February 7 in all countries.
With a QHD+ 120Hz display, a fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 engine, and a revolutionary camera system that includes a 50MP primary sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 32MP portrait sensor. Additionally, there is a large 5,000mAh battery with quick 100W charging as well as up to 16GB of RAM. Additionally, the OnePlus 11 features a brand-new look, including a circular camera block that was ostensibly inspired by black holes.
Conclusion
It appears that battery and charging enhancements, along with the camera and design updates, will be some of the main changes we can anticipate seeing on all new smartphones in 2023. Of course, as new reports and rumors circulate and as Samsung, OnePlus, Apple, and Google actually release their products, we’ll learn more throughout the year.
