[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] AuburnPhoenix:
What GPU will the Exynos 1380 have?
[Samsung Galaxy A54 5G] AuburnPhoenix:
We already have plenty of leaks regarding the CPU (4×A78, 4×A55). However there is next to no rumours regarding the GPU.

I believe Samsung has a few options- Mali G68 (same as Exynos 1280), Mali G610. Mali G615 and possibly RDNA 2.

1) I think we can rule out the Mali G615. It is ARM'S latest architecture so I doubt Samsung would use it, especially for a midrange chip since ARM charges high licensing fees for their latest designs. Of course it would be awesome if it did, but very unlikely.

2) I would be very much displeased if the E1380 uses the Mali G68 (some leakers have said so but i doubt the credibility). It is the same GPU architecture as tbe Exynos 1280.

3) An RDNA2 based Xclipse GPU would be awesome, but this depends on the core count. The Exynos 2200 has a 6CU RDNA2 gpu. 4CUs would be the ideal number for the Exynos 1380. 2 CUs (this is what J fear Samsung would go for if they decided to use RDNA2) wouldn't be great and too weak in performance, basically a sidegrade from the Exynos 1280's Mali GPU.

No TWRP and no custom ROMS, so not enough traffic towards a forum.

Don't get me wrong, I want one, I want to get rid off OneUI and Samsung's fierce grip... But we can't right now, wish I had studied programming right now.

too bad, it's a slick phone, quicker than the s10+ it repalced!!

so it's not geekable enough for it's own forum???

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra review: Refined to near perfection

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is a more refined Galaxy S22 Ultra, and while it might have features you don't need, it's one of the best.

www.xda-developers.com
[Touch HD General] mbworldz:
Got this phone approx 3 days, sometimes I feel it has some latency when switching the applications. Like last night, when I click on the browser icon, browser won't come up at all, I end up need to reset the device. Is there something wrong with my phone?

And while I checking the contact info, when I close the application, hit the "x" on the upper right, it will restart the touchFLO on main screen.

All these happen makes me worry about this phone is defective ?

And recently my phone will receive a message "New conneciton setup database found, do you want to install it ?" I have no idea what it comes from.

It may cost you data connection fee to download???????

Please help.

Danny.
[Touch HD General] kbcoma:
The phone does show some latency - but I can't explain with any authority what causes it - or if its really an issue, or something that just needs to be worked out.

As for your second question, I don't remember where I saw it here in the forums, but someone wrote that the update is the database for the connection wizard. They said it should not affect your phone at all unless your specific carrier has made some changes included in that download.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
I predict another dud flagship. Too thick, too heavy with a so-so display/bezel ratio. With poor SOT for the huge mAh battery.

No expandable storage; the high capacity internal memory variants will be in short supply and thus very expensive, predictably. And of course a huge price tag until Samsung realizes it's not selling well, again. This will make it 4 years running that Samsung has failed to deliver an exceptional, well balanced flagship.

That's what I think...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
Battery should be much better since the 8 Gen 2 is a TSMC chip.

There's very little that can be done about battery when 5G is enabled but even with it, the X70 is said to be up to 40% more efficient than the X65 was.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Time will tell. I doubt it will improve the SOT much. There's also the burden of the variable refresh rate display. Not sure how much more scoped storage impacts battery life but it requires more cpu cycles.

Starting with the N20U the batteries have gotten bigger, as has the thickness and weight of all the Samsung flagships. At the same time even with the larger capacity batteries the SOT decreased.

Poor form factor and performance balance have now become Samsung's flagship hallmark.

Their last great flagship remains the N10+. No 5G or variable refresh rate display but more functional with a display color/gamma accuracy/calibration that likely exceeds all those that followed. If Samsung adopted a fixed 90hz display refresh rate much better color/gamma accuracy could be achieved. They won't do this because Samsung is now marketing hype rather than performance driven. Case in point how many megapixels will the new cam sensor have?

For that tiny sized sensor 20mp is pushing it. Little doubt the mp count will continue to climb at the cost of pixel light gathering ability and sampling accuracy. The newer generations of Samsung cams seem to be very power hungry as well.

What a sick joke.

The laser AF is a great benefit. That should have been implemented 5 or more years ago. Sony was using this technology back in 2004 on its cams. Not to worry if you don't have it as a 3mw 535nm laser pointer can be used for spot on AF lock ups on older phones🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] borijess:
Battery like on my SD Ultra S22 is why I am upgrading. It was terrible from the start nothing has really changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
If you want good SOT go with a N10+*, they get 12+ hours SOT with a new battery. Browsing with Brave I was using 6%@hr when this battery was newer. A better balanced and more usable device... even today**.

The S23U is already shaping up to be more of the same Samsung bs... 3+ years of fail and ball drops.

*stock Snaps that are optimized. All Samsung's should be optimized for best performance and SOT.

** I'm running Pie and Q so no CPU cycle sucking scoped storage. You'll be stuck with Android 12, 13 or 14 on the S23U. 13 is a mess. Google is more Apple now (as is Samsung) than it is Android... more dropped balls rolling around inside the machine.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
I actually disagree with this. 13 has been great. I didn't like 8/Oreo because of how many apps they broke and 10 was slower than 11. 12 had some regressions and random quirks but 13 has been great. I don't actually have any specific OS-related complaints, just phone complaints about the Pixel 7 Pro, but if I'm being honest, I'm really just being petty, because the 7 Pro is great device that would serve most people well.

The reason I'm looking at the S23 series is specifically because of band support. I have Boost Infinite which uses AT&T towers so I want access to the 3.45GHz DoD spectrum and the Pixel 7 Pro's modem doesn't support it. Additionally Boost Infinite will be switching to using Dish Network's 5G network as it's primary and the Pixel doesn't support n70 and multiple other bands Dish is using.

Also, I just haven't had Samsung since the Note 5 and my partner has a Samsung A51 and I have played with it and actually kind of like it, so it just feels like it is time.

The Note 10+ is missing way too much for me to consider it. I'm not giving up 5G. The modem in that device has extremely limited and largely incomplete 5G support.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Agreed, I wouldn't get the 5G N10+ variant. With an unlimited grandfathered 4G data plan it's a no brainer. Since 5G started rolling out 4G has even better bandwidth. Because many websites limit data speeds even the 4G download speed isn't fully utilized most times. The power drain of 5G remains an issue on the newer models as does the SOC, display and camera. They reached the thermal limits of the available surface area. The N10+ can operate at a 99F ambient temperature doing internet browsing with no cooling for an extended time because it's using less power and producing less waste heat.

Storage is inadequate and expensive on all models after the N20U.

30 gms heavier, worse display/ratio and a much worse SOT than the N10+. Not a well balanced flagship at all. S23U is more of the same... bs.

The claims that Android 11, 12 or 13 are more efficient than 9 I have severe doubts about. Even if Google implements a more efficient file system the overhead of scoped storage* remains. I like to see a side by side comparison on a N10+ running on 9 vs 10, 11 and 12. No one does that.

*In Android 10 scoped storage isn't fully active. It doesn't seem faster than Pie and SOT may be slightly worse. Still playing with my other N10+ that was factory loaded with Q. I prefer Pie as it's more functional and easier to troubleshoot.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] borijess:
That's not what I am looking for. I want the latest and greatest to have good battery life. Not great but just good. I had the note 20 ultra and that thing had better battery than the s22 ultra. I am just hoping Samsung has figured it out with the s23.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Expect another hand warmer...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] borijess:
I hope not.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Don't be the first to buy it. Samsung's recent track record speaks for itself. Besides they'll be more desperate after 6 months to sell the excess units. Predictably there will be a shortage of 1 and .5tb variants though.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dazed1:
You doubt but i don't since i now use gen 2 and before i used 2 gen 1 phones, the difference in battery is huge, incomparable

Its not about the megapixels but what tech is in it, and what it can do, this sensor is almost on imx 989 level
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
The new Samsung phones are battery hogs.

Not my second language...

Micro lenses that small have less light gathering ability and waste real estate. The borders of those lens are wasted space, lots of wasted space on a sensor that has very little to spare. The quality of the micro lens are also suspect.

Pixel micro lense quality and individual pixel sampling capabilities are more important than pixel count. 12mp is a reasonable number and 20+mp is pure hype for a sensor this size.

A Canon pro shooter with a full frame sensor is only about 22-26mp. They will chew up any smartphone. Full frame digital movie cams boast a huge pixel count in the 20-40mp range.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dazed1:
The link is in English, it address all of your concerns and ideas, this sensor FWC is 10k, it is monster in low light

In what segment of photography will canon chew up smartphones? Certainly in won't in single frame and low light with normal exposure times on both
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Single frame and especially low light. The large metal frame provides superior heat sinking and the sensor is also thermally isolated from the processors for a lower noise floor in low light.

A heavier frame with good hand holds means it's much easier to shoot with. Much faster bootups and almost no shutter lag.

On top of that huge lens are available. Some with 200mm front optics for optimum light gathering.

Smartphones do very well with what they got. I view the cam as a convenience not a dedicated shooting platform. Anymore it's all I shoot with. They have limitations and are harder to shoot with than dedicated systems. With no expandable storage they lack onboard backup, a huge disadvantage. Canon has had dual card/write capabilities for around 20 years on their pro models.

The shooter's skill is more important than the camera, one reason they're killing the camera market. On that same line of thinking the improvements on the newest smartphone cams won't make you a great shooter if you aren't.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dazed1:
Most tests i saw by now DSLR vs phone (custom software on the phone - GCAM) results in either close battle, or win for the smartphone on lowish, and especially in low light.

There are numerous versus, if you are interested i can find samples. Single frame dslr cannot compete with 1'' sensor with 30 frames stacked and super advanced denoise algorithims/ISP, it will either burn the highlights, or be just dark.

Where dslr wins, is action shots, long range zooms, astro, portrait and video, not for static shooting.

Here is an example what a phone does in quite dark conditions, with advanced setup,
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Lol, what phone has a 1 inch sensor?

Full frame sensors are 24×36mm ie 1.339 sq inches.

Believe what you want to... at least it will save you $10+G.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dazed1:
Its not real 1'' but its very big, its bigger then Sony RX100 for example, its 132mm2, and sensor size doesnt matter as much when you got 30 frames stacked, that remove like 80% of the noise, and bring much more "light" into the sensor. No need to believe, ive seen the results,
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
And low light action shots? Books and parked cars don't move... people do.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
The DSLR is capable of "stacked" shots. The varied exposures are then combined in post processing. My old pro cam could bracket shoot up to 7 images with full user control over exposure setting/range, iso, shutter speed and/or aperture. I took numerous low light shots over 12-17 years ago. Many were people.

This is a more recent Canon release. It's a beast.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dazed1:
Im aware, we where talking about single frame, and merging frames on dslrs is not a 1 click solution
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Bracketed; 3-7 shots with one push of the shutter release.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dazed1:
Only on higer end newer models
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Had it in 2008...

The EOS models had it for years before that.

If you can spend thousands of dollars on a pro cam and L lens, nothing will touch it. Mirroring dual flashcards has been an option for around 2 decades. A pro system is an absolute joy to shoot with... smartphones are not.

For a smartphone cam the S23U is maybe as good as it gets. No expandable storage though is a huge liability. The high internal memory models will be expensive and will be in short supply as is normal. Even 1tb of internal memory isn't as functional as a 1tb V30 or 60 SD card. First time you lose access to internal memory will graphically illustrate this. Kiss all your unbacked up data goodbye. Thank Samsung for that... I did.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dazed1:
Oh didn't know that nice, still the original point was single frame vs smartphone with stacks, i have no doubt that if an DSLR stacks frames it will win the smartphone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Electronic Punk:
Am I being special, or does the S23 Ultra not come with Samsung Email?

Edit: Nevermind, got it from the Google Play store
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] oVeRdOsE.:
you missed a very important point : subjectivity .

Yes in a objective way, DSLR are way better, but who is watching pictures?

99% of people who don't know **** about photography, and simply enjoy the pictures driven by their emotions. And most of the time , through their smartphone, which is not a professional screen.

In that way, smartphone win the battle .

Professional photographer still have their place, don't get me wrong ; mainly for business, color accuracy, commercials, scene accuracy, high definition picture with accurate color and contrast, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
"There's a sucker born every minute", maybe PT Barnum said this first, but he did say this first: "Nobody ever lost a dollar by underestimating the taste of the American public." Sammy should have took quote that to heart. Removing expandable storage from their flagships; that one chintzy move cost Samsung a lot more than they saved.

Binning a 12-25 mp sensor vs a 108-200 mp sensor likey would have yielded better images.

Maybe Samsung sensor micro-lens are crap to begin with so they tried to shirt that deficiency by increasing the number. More pixels yield a poorer quality sample per pixel as it actually decreases available light sensor surface area. If they were using one photon avalanche diodes it be a much different story...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] awes0me1:
How wrong you where....lol
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Not so fast. Time will tell but there's not much new innovation in this new flagship. Changed the shell just enough so the S22U cases won't fit🤭

SOT still sucks for a 5000 mAh battery or are getting 13+ hrs SOT?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xPandamon:
Why so passive aggressive? Nobody expected much innovation, besides some smaller gripes it's already the best of the best. They didn't change the shell, the cameras simply need more space, and the battery life is trading blows with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Thicker than the iPhone but WAY more ergonomic to hold and use and it weights less than it, also your so-so display/ bezel ratio makes no sense, it was already really good on the S22 Ultra. I guess some people just want to complain.

Oh yeah, my gripes: You don't get a 10-bit screen, not a dealbreaker but kinda sad, only 8 GB of RAM for the base model and still not aptX HD and alike. Besides that, there's nothing to really complain about. Don't want a thick and heavy phone? Neither a 14 Pro Max nor a S23 Ultra are for you
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Simple, zero incentive (no expandable storage) to upgrade from the N10+.

That holds even more true if you own the N20U.

SOT is suffering on the N20U though as is form factor.

After those 2 generations Samsung went into a flat spin.

Most of this space and the insane 30gm of weight is battery. This ancient N10+ gets better SOT even with a smaller degraded battery. Jamming a bigger battery in and getting worse SOT is not innovation or even breaking even.

The N10+ has the best bezel/display ratio, is 1mm thinner, 30gms lighter with better SOT.

Min memory is 256/12gb with up to 1tb of V30 supported expandable storage. Meh... and better color calibration, less side view color shifting.

As for bit depth, the variable refresh rate displays are next to impossible to color calibrate now. Not sure how much difference it would make and could most users even see it? Most have relatively poor color perception compared to those in the top 5%.

An upgrade means an upgrade... like supported 2tb expandable storage and better display color accuracy/calibration. A larger battery is a liability particularly if it gets less SOT per mAh! The higher efficiency ram and SOC aren't worth much in normal day to day usage without it. It's a question of balance, form factor and functionality. Samsung has degraded in all of those respects for 4 generations of flagships now, unfortunately.

Samsung now excels in making excuses. Try walking the walk instead talking hype... Sammy.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xPandamon:
I'm sure if you limit yourself to 60 Hertz and Light Performance Mode you can easily surpass the Note 10+ in battery life. 120 Hertz draws a lot more power, but it's VERY noticeable. Is it as good as the Note 10+ in that regard? Maybe not, but the feel of both phones is quite different. Also the chips used are not even close to comparable anymore, the performance difference is quite a lot and for that, the sligh hit in efficiency is expected. This is arguably the currently best Android phone, no clue why you say "Try walking the walk instead talking hype", they did deliver a lot, with no big downside. It just sounds like you're trying to convince yourself you're still good with your Note 10+ (which you are), but you talk down this phone despite it being really damn good and easily the best Samsung phone in quite some time.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
For one Samsung should use a fixed 90 or 120hz display. At least it could be accurately color calibrated throughout its much of its brightness range. So far the variable refresh rate displays haven't produce the cake you can eat and still have it. Hype? Seems so.

If I'm doing low demand tasks like surfing with Brave I expect to see 6%@hr SOT at 30-40% brightness with 4100 mAh actual battery capacity. I see similar yields when watching stored movies as well. 1tb of expandable storage can hold a lot of data that's always available.

Higher refresh rates aren't of use for these activities.

The thermal capacity (square inches of heat sink) of the N23U or any of the others hasn't increased much. However the thermal load has increased significantly as witnessed by the higher mAh consumption of these devices. A cooler running phone is better especially when the ambient air temperature is 95F or higher.

A bigger battery only increases that thermal loading. The higher running temperatures puts added stress on all the electronics. Flash memory retainment is adversely effected as well by higher temperatures. Another reason a dual drive makes sense for critical data preservation as SD cards are more isolated from the SOC heat. 2 drives are always better than 1 if used correctly.

The improvement trade offs simple aren't worth the penalties which is why I will continue to use the N10+'s. More importantly the simple fact they fulfill their mission and are still fun to use.

The only repair has been a battery. This load will be 3yo in June, still fast and stable. Less down time means more fun time. Running on Pie and Q means no scoped storage overhead or headaches.

Both phones have long been paid for and my unlimited 4G data plan is grandfathered. 5G would break that plan if used... and I download/use a lot of data. Most downloads are site limited rather than limited by my 4G bandwidth. Gmail is the only cloud app I use.

Don't play any games that even begin to use the full potential of this phone. I have a good level of balance/functionality as is and in the best form factor Samsung ever released. It's still snappy fast even by today's standards and will easily out run any new midrange Samsung. These are some of the reasons people continue to use and buy this phone.
