This year, we’re hoping the regular and Plus models won’t be yet another iterative improvement.
The Pro model was an actual upgrade, though, with a new camera cutout and more advanced cameras.

The upcoming Galaxy S23 series is expected to maintain that.

So, how much has changed with the regular S phone over the years?
The next year’sGalaxy S21had nearly the same exact specifications, except the resolution shrunk to 1080p.
You can reserve the Galaxy S23 series at no cost right now and get up to $100 in store credit. There’s no penalty if you don’t end up buying the phones.
For theGalaxy S22, Samsung decided to shrink the phone and upgrade the main camera to 50 MP.
However, the battery also became smaller, and the telephoto was downgraded to a 10 MP lens.
That was almost identical to the smaller S20, but with a larger screen and battery.
Samsung
The Galaxy S21 Plus dropped the resolution to 1080p, just like with the base S21.
The regular S and Plus phones have started at 128 GB of storage for three years.
The base 8 GB RAM has remained the same for two years.
None of them have headphone jacks or SD card slots.
Well, there wasn’t an Ultra at all before the S20 series.
It also added ultra-wideband (UWB) support for locatingSmartTags.
The camera array remained mostly the same, but with a few additional software tweaks.
The Ultra is still the only model with two telephoto lenses.
However, other missing features are just cost-cutting measures, or attempts to upsell some people to the Ultra.
