The S23 Ultra, Samsung's new top-tier model with a 6.8-inch screen, is built using more durable materials like upgraded Corning Inc. glass and features a 200-megapixel wide-angle camera, up from 108 megapixels. The camera also gets better video stabilization, and the phone's design has new curves on the edges. Qualcomm Inc.'s latest Snapdragon Gen 2 processor powers the device, and Samsung promises better battery life with the help of dynamic display adjustments.
