It’s always an epic moment when you get your hands on your new Samsung Galaxy phone and experience that feeling of unboxing your fresh device, trying out all its features, and navigating your new Galaxy. However, what’s not epic is worrying over losing memorable photos and videos, content and existing contacts from your old device.

But that anxious feeling of losing all your files when upgrading to the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Series now comes to an end, thanks to Samsung’s Smart Switch.

With the Smart Switch feature, you can easily and quickly transfer personal and work files, schedules, call logs, photos and more from most Android or iOS phones to your new Samsung Galaxy S23 Series phone.

Here are three easy steps for a smooth transition with the help of the Samsung Smart Switch.

The first step is to choose from three convenient transfer options. You can either transfer content directly between your Wi-Fi-connected phones via the Smart Switch Mobile app, tether your old and new devices via USB, or use Smart Switch’s computer software, available at www.samsung.com/au/apps/smart-switch.

After establishing a connection with any of the transfer options, the second step is where Smart Switch allows you to select items to save on your new Galaxy S23 Series phone. After selecting items, you can confirm the transfer.

On the third and final step, you are now free to use your favorite apps, browse your files, listen to music, and reconnect with contacts on your new Galaxy phone.

Keep your files secure, share files faster, and connect to other devices

The new Samsung Galaxy series ensures that your privacy is secure with the Samsung Knox feature. It is a hardware-based protection for passwords and biometric data secured digitally. Samsung Knox does real-time protection designed to detect and prevent any software system modification.

An extra level of security is also provided by the Knox Vault which protects critical information on the Galaxy phone by isolating it from the rest of the device, including the OS, for added protection against vulnerabilities and suspicious 3rd party apps.

Images, videos, and files can also be shared instantly with your friends with Samsung’s Quick Share feature. You can share files with up to 5 people simultaneously without having to pair devices and enjoy sending up to 1GB of material at one time and a maximum of 2GB per day.

You can also create a smart home and stay connected with external devices through SmartThings as your universal remote control. Use SmartThings as a powerful remote control for your home by maximizing cooking experience with healthy recipes, monitoring energy usage of appliances, keeping track of laundry, watching over your pets while you’re away, and checking air quality and appliance conditions. You can also control your headphones, study lamp, television, AI speakers, house lights, and motion sensors anywhere you go. What’s more, selected smart lights can also be connected with the SmartThings Music Sync so you can watch the color and brightness of the lights dance to your tunes.

After making the switch, enjoy the rest of the Galaxy S23 Series’ epic features!

Have an epic time with the Galaxy S23 Ultra

Now that you’ve transferred all your precious memories, it’s time to make new ones with the latest Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Capture high-definition photos with the phone’s new 200MP Adaptive Pixel sensor that captures moments with incredible precision. Don’t worry about blurry photos with its fast autofocus and Samsung’s first Super HDR selfie camera, jumping from 30fps to 60fps, for noticeably better front-facing images and videos.

Create memories in low light with the Galaxy Series’ latest Nightography feature for images and videos in a wide range of ambient conditions. Film during a concert, take a selfie, or grab a group shot of friends at dinner with sharper outputs. Visual noise that usually ruins low-light images is also corrected by a new AI-powered image signal processing (ISP) algorithm that enhances object details and color tone.

Have an epic experience with mobile games and the fastest Qualcomm graphics featuring the Samsung exclusive Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for the Galaxy series.

When your schedule gets hectic, the embedded S Pen found in a sweet spot in the Galaxy S23 Ultra is your friendly assistant in note-taking, keeping track of tasks, meetings, and appointments. It also allows you to multitask as dragging the S Pen maximizes various active apps and maximizes the active app on screen.

All these can be done without having to worry about charging your battery as the phone is equipped with a 5000mAh battery.

While smartphone photography has advanced significantly in the last decade due to innovations in camera hardware, computational imaging, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), taking photos in low light has always been difficult — that is, until Samsung officially launched its breakthrough Nightography feature for its Galaxy S Series.

Galaxy users can say goodbye to washed-out, blurry night images, as they now have the best way to take crisp photos and videos from dusk to dawn. Here are some examples of how the new Galaxy S23 Series uses its Nightography feature to capture epic moments this summer!

Removes noise with MFP Technology

It is difficult to capture fun and exciting moments that occur at night. The main challenge with night photography is having shots that are full of noise, making them appear grainy and unrefined.

Samsung experts developed technology for taking vivid photos in low-light situations. The S23 camera can now capture a series of images with different brightness levels. It then applies multi-frame processing (MFP) technology which analyzes the images, removes the frames with noise or blur. Afterwards, it merges the remaining frames into a single clear shot with HDR.

Improves color, tone and details through AI-powered ISP Algorithm

So, what’s the point of a crisp photo if it’s dull? You can always rely on editing apps and filters, but this still requires some effort and a keen eye for detail if you want to make your photos look as realistic as possible. But with the Galaxy S23 Series Nightography feature, you can put these worries to sleep.

The MFP also allows for the creation of a high-definition photo. The AI powered ISP algorithm in the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) enhances the photo’s color, tone and details, making it appear life-like by capturing full colors in low light.

Faster Processing by leveraging Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

Love taking photos next to aesthetic signage? The image quality of Nightography on the Galaxy S23 Series has greatly improved with increased brightness, while still controlling noise, clarity, and saturation around night lightings such as neon sign boards.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Series Nightography is a groundbreaking feature of the new smartphone series due to its powerful processor – the exclusive Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2. It is equipped with multi-frame pipeline optimizations and AI model acceleration for faster processing using less memory than the Galaxy S22.

Epic Nights Ahead

With the Galaxy’s most advanced camera features yet, Nightography with Samsung Galaxy S23 series even provides an epic night selfie experience, with its 12MP ultra wide camera which has AI-Object aware engine. With its Dual Pixel, AI stereo depth map, it also produces the best night portraits for us and our friends.

The Galaxy S23 Series also lets us see night photos clearly and with more rich details with its Ultra High Resolution, (50MP for S23 and S23+, 200MP for S23 Ultra), giving you a Super HDR display and details enhancer.

When it comes to night videos, these are also more crisp, and stable as the Galaxy S23 series uses Video Multi-frame processing based on its powerful processor while providing improved image stabilization with adaptive VDIS, Wide OIS for S23 and S23+, and even two times wider for S23 Ultra.

Epic Night photos and videos are not the only thing the Samsung Galaxy Series delivers – this is also Samsung’s most environmentally friendly phone to date, as it is made of recycled aluminum, glass, and PET, as well as repurposed ocean-bound plastic.

The Galaxy S23 series comes in four nature-inspired matte hues: Phantom Black, Cream, Green and Lavender2. The Galaxy S23 retails for PHP 53,990 for the 128GB variant, and PHP 57,990 for the 256GB variant. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S23+ starts at PHP 68,990 for the 256GB variant, and PHP 76,990 for the 512GB variant. Lastly, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is available at PHP 81,990 and PHP 89,990 for the 256GB and 512GB variants respectively. A samsung.com exclusive 1TB Galaxy S23 Ultra is also available at PHP 103,990.

In addition, customers can also opt to trade-in their old device to buy the Galaxy S23 Series. With this program, they can enjoy up to 40% off, including a discount of up to PHP 13,000 on top of their old device’s residual value. This promo is available until June 30, 2023.

Samsung recently launched its epic Galaxy S23 series and there’s no denying that it has created quite a buzz among Filipinos eager to trade up for a truly premium mobile phone experience. With orders streaming in, a local survey shared exactly what made them want to get their hands on a Samsung Galaxy S23, stat!

Nightography and a 200MP Camera sensor

With the Philippines being the selfie capital of the world, is anyone surprised that the epic camera was the top reason why Filipinos pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S23 Series?

Shooting in low light can be challenging for even the most advanced filmmakers, resulting in shaky, unusable footage with lots of noise. The Galaxy S23 Series’ Nightography feature enables you to shoot at any light through its multi-frame processing. This dedicated algorithm combines multiple images across frames to reduce noise, enabling anyone to take vivid and optimized videos, even in the dark. Additionally, an enhanced AI object-aware engine and stereo depth map allow the camera to capture clear portraits in detail, making night photos come to life.

Aside from the 200MP adaptive pixel sensor on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the Galaxy S23 Series comes equipped with a 10MP Telephoto Camera and the 12MP Ultra-Wide Camera – so every shot comes out picture-perfect. The S23 and S23+ are equipped with 50MP Wide Cameras, while the S23 Ultra offers a 200MP ultra-high resolution. The wide camera allows you to capture sharp lines and vivid colors, even when tightly zooming in. Not to be forgotten, the Galaxy S23 Series boasts upgrades for selfies, with an improved 12MP front camera for all three models.

Cinematic Videos

Being able to take cinematic quality videos was another factor that excited Filipinos about the Galaxy S23 series. Recording videos with pro-quality is made possible with the enhanced 8K video at 30 frames per second. Users can even combine this with the new 360 Audio Recording feature on Galaxy Buds2 Pro, creating multi-dimensional sound for an even more enhanced video experience.

The latest Snapdragon Processor

For creators and gamers alike, the desire to push limits and constantly reimagine what’s possible requires the latest technology. That’s why it’s no surprise that the Galaxy S23 series brand-new Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform – was a key feature that pushed many Filipinos to pre-order.

When a player is in the middle of the game, even a slight delay can cause critical issues. For instance, racing games require fast-loading screens, so any distraction can get even the most experienced players off track. However, a racing game on Galaxy S23 Ultra provides not only full immersion but also no disruptions. With a display that supports super smooth 120Hz refresh rate, coupled with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, gamers can expect smoother graphics, faster response speeds and a seamless gaming experience.

Powerful Batteries for Streaming and Gaming

There’s nothing worse than having to stop in the middle of a video or a game because one’s battery is running low. The more powerful battery life of the Galaxy S23 Series was definite plus for Filipinos as it makes gaming and movie marathons on one’s phones easier than ever. One can enjoy long-lasting battery life with a battery capacity of 3,900mAh and 4,700mAh on the Galaxy S23 and S23+ respectively, increased by 200mAh each from the previous generation while the Ultra clocks out at a whopping 5,000mAh.

Other features that make the Galaxy S23 the right choice for Filipinos? The Galaxy S23 Series was also designed with the planet in mind as it was made with more recycled materials than ever, furthering Samsung’s inspiring vision for sustainability. The latest Galaxy S23 Series is made from recycled aluminum, glass and PET, in addition to repurposed ocean-bound plastic. What’s more, with a 100% recycled paper package box and paper-based materials used for front and back protectors, the Galaxy S23 series is eco-conscious from the inside out. In total, the number of parts using recycled materials in the lineup increased to 12.

The Galaxy S23 Series comes in four nature-inspired matte hues: Phantom Black, Cream, Green and Lavender and are now available at Samsung Experience Stores, Authorized Samsung Stores, Lazada, Shopee, Abenson.com and MemoXpress Online. The Galaxy S23 retails for PHP 53,990 for the 128GB variant, and PHP 57,990 for the 256GB variant. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S23+ starts at PHP 68,990 for 256GB variant, and PHP 76,990 for the 512GB variant. Lastly, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is available at PHP 81,990 and PHP 89,990 for the 256GB and 512GB variants respectively. A samsung.com-exclusive 1TB Galaxy S23 Ultra is also available at PHP 103,990.

Launched at the Epic House party held at The Fifth Rockwell, the Galaxy S23 Series comes with some truly stunning innovations when it comes to photography and videography. Just ask renowned fashion and lifestyle photographer BJ Pascual, who took guests on a tour of the Epic Nightography room, which featured the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s incredible camera features such as the enhanced Nightography mode and the 200-megapixel camera.

As a long-time Samsung Galaxy user, BJ mentioned that he has always loved the phone and was curious how they will be able to top the last one. But upon trying the Galaxy S23 series, he was amazed by how Samsung was able to pack all the amazing features in such a slim package.

BJ was particularly impressed with the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s 200-megapixel camera. “As photographers, we love data, and that’s a lot of data, and it has more megapixels than my work camera. It’s so crazy! I’m actually excited to try it at an actual photoshoot,” he said.

The Galaxy S23 series also features an enhanced Nightography setting that allows you to take pictures in any lighting condition, be it at a neon-lit nightclub or at a camping trip under the stars.

“That’s another area the camera improves so much. The Super HDR of the Night Photography is insane, and I think, this is their best yet. It would be helpful especially for those people who like to go out at night and not a lot of places have good lighting, so the HDR really helps with tricky lighting situations, so everything looks great,” shared BJ.

With Super HDR, the smartphone is able to balance the brightness of a photo so it does not appear too dark or too light that its details get lost. With the enhanced Nightography feature in the Galaxy S23 Series, photos appear vivid and crisp, even at night.

The Galaxy S23 Series also allows you to be a true photo master. Combined with the enhanced Nightography feature, the smartphone also has an Expert RAW app that allows you to control the light and the shadows within the photo you took. “When you shoot raw photos, you kind of have a lot of control over the [pictures]. It’s kind of like a film. When you take photos with film, there’s room for you to brighten it or darken it, as long as it’s exposed. The Expert RAW app makes you the master of the HDR,” BJ explained.

From the 200-megapixels, to its Nightography and Expert RAW app features, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Series makes taking epic photos easier than ever, anytime, and anywhere.

BJ also shared some key tips to make your photos more epic than ever. If you’re doing an Outfit-of-the-Day photo look for you social media posts, BJ advises that “if you want to look taller, frame the photos with the face near the middle of the frame and the feet near the bottom of the frame, so you can get more space on top and then you crop it after. The distortion of the wide lens makes your legs look longer.”

If you’re taking a selfie, BJ recommends that “the best selfie is actually finding your light, so whether it be like natural or artificial light, just make sure the light is generally in front of you to diffuse everything so that less imperfections can be seen. If it’s outdoors better to take a picture under the shade or in front of a window, where the light is not directly hitting your face but the diffused light is just coming in.”

Aside from using the nightography features of the Galaxy S23 series, BJ also shared a tip on how to take a great selfie in the evening or when you’re in a club or event. “Take photos in front of an LCD or LED screen – it’s like an artificial window!”

The Galaxy S23 series is now available through Samsung Experience Stores, Authorized Samsung Stores, Lazada, Shopee, Abenson.com and MemoXpress Online. The Galaxy S23 series comes in four nature-inspired matte hues: Phantom Black, Cream, Green and Lavender32. The Galaxy S23 retails for PHP 53,990 for the 128GB variant, and PHP 57,990 for the 256GB variant. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S23+ starts at PHP 68,990 for 256GB variant, and PHP 76,990 for the 512GB variant.

A Samsung Galaxy Camera with More Megapixels and Extensive Creative Controls, From Day to Night

Galaxy S23 Ultra makes it easier for any level of photographer to capture phenomenal content. It offers Samsung Galaxy’s most advanced camera system, tailored for nearly any lighting conditions and engineered to render incredible detail. Improved Nightography capabilities transform how the Galaxy S series optimizes photos and videos in a wide range of ambient conditions. Filming a favorite song at a concert, snapping a selfie at the aquarium, or grabbing a group shot of friends at dinner — users can get sharper images and videos⁴. Visual noise that usually ruins low-light images is corrected by a new AI-powered image signal processing (ISP) algorithm that enhances object details and color tone.

In a Samsung Galaxy-first, Galaxy S23 Ultra boasts a new 200MP Adaptive Pixel sensor that captures epic moments with incredible precision. It uses pixel binning to support multiple levels of high-resolution processing at once.⁵ And because selfie cameras are more important than ever to how we communicate today, the Galaxy S23 series introduces fast autofocus and our first Super HDR selfie camera, jumping from 30fps to 60fps, for noticeably better front-facing images and videos.

For users who want the ultimate creative control and customization, the Galaxy S23 series offers a suite of tools that differentiate any photography experience. The Expert RAW app,⁶ available exclusively on Samsung Galaxy, enables DSLR-style image shooting and editing in RAW and JPEG — no bulky camera equipment is required. Users can experiment with Multiple exposures photo art or capture a clear view of the Milky Way with Astrophoto settings, and now, after being downloaded on Galaxy S23, Expert RAW features can be accessed within Samsung’s native Camera app⁷. Meanwhile, the new zoom capabilities on Galaxy Watch5 series’ Camera Controller app⁸ empower users to capture a perfectly framed shot right from their wrist.

Additional camera advancements include:

• Low-light or in situations that would normally create a blur, videos are stable with doubled optical image stabilizer (OIS) angles in all directions on Galaxy S23 Ultra.9
• Recording videos feel more cinematic with enhanced 8K video⁸ at 30 frames per second with a wider angle.
• Advanced, object-based AI analyzes each detail in the frame, even down to minute facial features such as hair and eyes, to carefully reflect a person’s dynamic characteristics.
• For an even more enhanced video experience, the new 360 Audio Recording feature⁹ on Galaxy Buds2 Pro creates multi-dimensional sound.

On Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23, the iconic Samsung Galaxy camera also gets an upgraded look. The contour housing has been removed, marking a new era of essential Galaxy design that makes the entire series stand out.

Premium Performance Makes Way for the Future of Mobile Gaming

For creators and gamers alike, the desire to push limits and constantly reimagine what’s possible requires technology that outpaces expectations. Together, Samsung and Qualcomm optimized the Samsung Galaxy experience with the brand new “Snapdragon^® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy”, the most powerful and efficient platform ever in a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and the fastest¹⁰ Snapdragon available today. Meanwhile, on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, a 5000mAh battery¹¹ powers a larger camera than Galaxy S22 Ultra without increasing the device’s size.

A newly designed CPU micro architecture boosts the processing abilities of the Galaxy S23 series by about 30 percent compared to the Galaxy S22 series.¹² Capturing stunning photos in low light requires trillions of calculations per second, so Samsung Galaxy’s highly efficient NPU architecture has been optimized by 49 percent to balance performance and power while using an AI algorithm to help users take epic photos and videos.¹² One of the most significant improvements to the Galaxy S23 series is the optimized GPU, which is approximately 41 percent faster compared to Galaxy 22 series and designed especially for power users.¹²

In anticipation of the future of ultimate digital realism, Galaxy S23 Ultra comes ready to support real-time ray tracing as it comes to the mobile gaming mainstream. Users will be able to see noticeably more lifelike renderings of scenes, thanks to technology that simulates and tracks every ray of light. Plus, Samsung Galaxy’s vapor chamber, now bigger¹³ and on every Galaxy S23 series model, keeps your gaming marathon going.

All this power underpins Galaxy S23 Ultra’s expansive 6.8-inch¹⁴ edge display with a reduced curvature to create a larger and flatter surface area¹⁵ for the best visual experience on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Samsung Galaxy’s unique Enhanced comfort feature allows users to adjust color tones and contrast levels, lessening eye strain from screen time at night. Vision booster now adjusts at three levels of lighting instead of two to combat brightness and glare in daylight.

Designed with the Planet in Mind

The Galaxy S23 series raises the bar for premium technology that can enrich people’s lives and help contribute to a healthier planet. Since the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung Galaxy increases its use of recycled materials from six internal components in Galaxy S22 Ultra to 12 internal and external components in Galaxy S23 Ultra. Galaxy S23 series also has a wider variety of recycled materials than any other Galaxy smartphone, including pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass and post-consumer recycled plastics sourced from discarded fishing nets, PET bottles and water barrels.

The new S series is the first to market Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, offering durability for long-term use and consisting of an average of 22 percent pre-consumer recycled content¹⁶. Plus, every Galaxy S23 smartphone comes in a redesigned packaging box which applied paper made with 100 percent recycled paper.

With the Galaxy S23 series, Samsung Galaxy is doing more to minimize its impact on the environment without compromising quality and aesthetic. The Galaxy S23 series is UL ECOLOGO® certified¹⁷, meaning that the product has been certified for reduced environmental impact.

For users who want to extend the life of their device, the Galaxy S23 series’ premium experience can be sustained through the years with four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates¹⁸. To enhance its longevity, users can also leverage programs such as Samsung Care+¹⁹, a support service for accidental damages, repairs and more.

User-Friendly Security and Privacy Enable a Transparent Experience without Compromise

Secure and private experiences are the foundation of the Galaxy S23 series. Every smartphone comes with Samsung’s end-to-end Samsung Knox protection, which has received more government and industry certifications than any other mobile device, platform, or solution on the market. The Security and Privacy Dashboard on Samsung Galaxy gives users full visibility over who has access to their data and how it’s being used. With just a glance, it’s easy to see if personal data is at risk and receive simple prompts to change settings for a more secure experience. Users can also decide exactly which applications and programs get access to their data and how it can be used.

For an added layer of security, Knox Vault, which was first introduced on the Galaxy S21 series, protects critical information on the Galaxy S23 series by isolating it from the rest of the device, including the OS, for added protection against vulnerabilities.

More Freedom and Flexibility for Connected Lifestyles

At the core of the Samsung Galaxy S series’ premium experience is the uncompromising innovation of Samsung Galaxy Ultra. But the power and creative capabilities of Samsung Galaxy Ultra don’t stop at smartphones. With the brand new, first-ever Galaxy Book3 Ultra, and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, users can now enjoy an ultimate Samsung Galaxy’s ecosystem.

Across every Galaxy S series model, connected experiences get added benefits. Samsung Multi Control²⁰, which connects mouse and keyboard functionality between a Samsung Galaxy PC and tablet, now extends to Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 for the ultimate flexibility between devices. Plus, enhanced text usability makes it easy to copy and paste text, like URLs, from one device to another to pick up an activity on another device. On Galaxy S23 Ultra, Google Meet paired with Samsung Notes and the embedded S Pen now make video calls even more collaborative. With Google Meet live sharing, participants can simultaneously co-edit²¹ a document from each of their Android devices, rather than viewing a shared screen.²²
