The latest flagship handsets are powered by a customised version of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and sport Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays. The Galaxy S23 family is the first smartphone series to feature Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. However, we used the Galaxy S23 Ultra (12GB RAM/256 GB internal storage) for around a week and here is what we think about the latest premium smartphone from Samsung.
Samsung Glaxy S23 Ultra Camera:
The Galaxy S23 Ultra features a 200MP main camera with OIS, 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, 10MP periscope telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom and a 12MP ultra-wide camera with 120-degree FOV. The rear cameras can record in 8K at up to 30FPS and 4K UHD at up to 60FPS in HDR10+. 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. The sensors on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra are excellent. The smartphone does a great job of taking excellent daylight shots using the most basic settings and also best possible footage with the 3X and 10X zoom cameras. In addition, the portrait mode is pretty good on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The Galaxy S23 Ultra takes great photos at night that you would love to share them on Instagram. The Expert RAW app, available on Samsung Galaxy, enables DSLR-style image shooting and editing in RAW and JPEG — no bulky camera equipment is required. Meanwhile, recording videos feel more cinematic with enhanced 8K video 8 at 30 frames per second with a wider angle and during the day, we easily managed to get steady videos with beautiful lively colors. On the front, the S23 Ultra includes a 50MP selfie camera that sits inside the hole punch display. The selfies we clicked during our review comes with excellent detail in all lighting conditions.

A newly designed CPU micro architecture boosts the processing abilities of the Galaxy S23 Ultra by about 30 percent compared to the Galaxy S22 series. One of the most significant improvements to the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the optimized GPU, which is approximately 41 percent faster compared to Galaxy 22 series and designed especially for power users. The smartphone lets you do performance-oriented task with an ease. During our usage, we did not feel any lag while using the device for everyday tasks such as using it for emails, calls, surfing, browsing, watching videos, etc.
For hardcore gamers, 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, Galaxy S23 Ultra's vapor chamber now bigger.

During our review, the Galaxy S22 Ultra delivers battery life and charging far better than its Android competitors. If your usage is anything like mine, using social media, watching a bit of videos or cliccking photos you are easily up with a full day of usage. With a 45W charger which is a perfect fit for the Ultra, it will take 45 mins to charge 88 percent and around 1 hour for 100 percent charge.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Design and Display:
In terms of design, the Galaxy S23 Ultra 23 looks identical to the Galaxy S22 Ultra that was launched last year. The smartphone comes with curved edges and matte-finished rear panel that are protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The device comes with the same floating camera layout, but with chrome rings around each of the lenses. The power button is located just above center on the right edge.

The OnePlus 11 is all the rage right now. It is the latest flagship phone from the company that is known to offer some of the best features and specifications in an aggressively-priced phone, taking on the likes of Samsung Galaxy S23, Google Pixel 7, and Xiaomi 13, among others. But there seems to be some confusion around the waterproofing abilities of the OnePlus 11, especially in India. While the US media reported the OnePlus 11 has an IP64 rating, the Indian media did not have any clue about the version that will be sold in India. GSMArena has now reported that OnePlus has given a confirmation about the IP rating of the OnePlus 11. The OnePlus 11 is indeed IP64 rated for dust and splash resistance. The 6 in IP64 means the OnePlus 11 is "dust tight", which means it is completely protected against dust particle ingress, whereas the number 4 means the phone is protected against splashing water. This means that the OnePlus 11 is not entirely waterproof and cannot be dunked into the water -- unlike some other high-end phones. So, to answer the question in the headline, the OnePlus 11 is not waterproof. But it can endure water splashes. The lack of an IP68 or IP69 rating on the OnePlus 11 could be a deal-breaker considering some less expensive phones offer better water resistance. And if you are planning to buy the OnePlus 11, make sure you do not use it anywhere near a swimming pool or an area where there are chances the phone would get immersed in water. Using the phone in rain or light showers, however, may not be a problem.
OnePlus 11 price in India
The OnePlus 11 comes in two variants. The one with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage costs Rs 56,999, while the higher variant with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage will be available at Rs 61,999. The OnePlus 11 is available in Eternal Green and Titan Black colourways. The pre-orders are now live and will run till February 13. The smartphone will be available for purchase starting February 14, at 12 pm across OnePlus.in, OnePlus Store App, OnePlus Experience Stores across India, and Amazon.in.
