According to leaked renders, the phone will feature a flat-screen and flatter sides.

This departure from Samsung's signature design has generated significant buzz among consumers and tech enthusiasts.

Famed leaker Ahmed Qwaider has hinted that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will have bold, flat sides,

while popular leaker Ice Universe has yet to confirm these expectations.

[{"selector":"#anim-c521e2e2-39f4-4b46-9d47-f32fa845da2e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-72b3ec50-90b7-4aca-a9a1-1649fd1015c8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 198.61114%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Despite the lack of confirmation, leaked images suggest that the phone will not be drastically different from its predecessor.

[{"selector":"#anim-6bcdd3a9-1336-407e-b152-03147b5393b1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53ffc32e-c86f-48e7-a885-36a1981c5250","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

In addition to its new design, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is rumored to have an impressive camera setup.

The phone is said to be equipped with a 200MP rear primary camera, using an improved version of Samsung's ISOCELL HP1 technology.

While some users may have found curved displays uncomfortable in the past,
