Samsung made a lot of noise by releasing the S22 Ultra this year. Well, that phone did deserve all the attention it got. Samsung did a lot of things right with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. But can you expect the same with the upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra?
The thing is, Samsung is pretty much set to unveil the Galaxy S23 series in the upcoming year. But thanks to rumors and leaks, we have come to know a lot about the device months before it officially unveils. First came the render leak. Then, we had the hardware specs leak, which is basically the one many were perplexed about.
Well, if you are one of them, get ready to get the biggest dose of early confirmation for this year. TENAA certification paperwork for the Galaxy S23 Ultra has just been published! And it confirmed most of the things we heard about the upcoming flagship.
Samsung S23 Ultra TENAA Listing
So, TENNA listing is basically a certification of the Chinese regulatory body. It is mandatory for brands to get this certification if they want to sell their devices in the country. And the good news is that TENNA listings are publicly visible! That means you can see all the things that the brands list in the certification. So, what does the TENAA listing of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra disclose?
Camera
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is now almost certain to come with a 200 MP primary camera. It is also set to come with three other rear sensors, including one 10 MP telephoto, a 12 MP ultrawide, and another 10 MP telephoto.
Why would the S23 Ultra require two of the same telephoto cameras? Well, they are not the same. One of them is capable of 3X optical zoom, while the other is capable of 10X optical zoom.
But the thing is, the TENAA listing notes that the telephoto shooters are actually 12 MP units. And according to SamMobile, this might be due to Samsung upscaling 10 MP to 12 MP.
