    Yesterday, it was reported that Samsung might launch the Galaxy S23 series at higher prices than the Galaxy S22 series in some markets. However, a newly-leaked document from a network carrier in the US has revealed that Samsung will stick to the $800 starting price with the Galaxy S23 series.

    A Galaxy S23 series promotional leaflet from Verizon was posted on Reddit (spotted by 9To5Google) a few hours ago. It reveals all the information about the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra, including their features, pricing, announcement date, pre-order date, and launch date. The Galaxy S23 series will be announced on February 1, 2023, and will go on pre-order the same day. The smartphones will be launched on 17 February 2023.

    Galaxy S23's price starts at $799.99 in the US

    The Galaxy S23 starts at $799.99, while the Galaxy S23+ will have a starting full retail price of $999.99. The Galaxy S23 Ultra will be sold with a price tag of $1,199.99. Plus, Samsung could offer free storage upgrades for all pre-orders. So, if you pay for the 128GB version of the phone, you will get the 256GB variant at no extra cost.

    Of course, there will be carrier contract options, too, starting at $22.22/month for the base Galaxy S23 and going as high as $33.33/month for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. All four phones will be available in four colors: Cream, Green, Lavender, and Phantom Black.

    The leaked leaflet talks about the Galaxy S23 series' “unrivaled cameras” as one of its main selling points. It offers ‘Nightography' for photos and videos and “8K super-steady videos.” The document also talks about improved night selfies and videos, powerful 100x Space Zoom for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, and 30x Space Zoom for the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+. It also mentions the 4nm Snapdragon processor, 5G connectivity (C-band, mmWave, and Nationwide), Armor Aluminum frame, and next-generation Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

The Galaxy S23 comes in 128GB and 256GB versions, while the Galaxy S23+ comes in 256GB and 512GB versions.
