Yet there are a few months left for the introduction and market arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, the pinnacle of the Korean technology offering, which year after year comes with a good game of improvements and novelties compared to the previous version. And while we still have to wait (I’ll tell you a bit about that later in this article), as is often the case in this sector, some very interesting information is leaking out about what we can expect.

We got the first big surprise in this regard only a few days ago when we found out This generation will be “powered” exclusively by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, leaving the integrated Exynos, the brand itself, out of it. A few weeks ago we already saw some performance tests of the Samsung Galaxy S23 based on the Qualcomm platform, but given the precedents of the previous series, we thought that it would be a version for certain markets, while others would opt for their own integrated ones.

And today, thanks to a tweet from popular (and generally accurate) leaker Ice universe, with the Samsung Galaxy S23, a new Light mode will debut, which will reduce consumption and improve autonomy. As we can read in his report, this new regime «it can slightly reduce performance and significantly reduce power consumption without affecting the refresh rate.«, this means that this reduction in electricity consumption will allow the screen refresh rate to continue to be used, the expected 120 hertz throughout.

There aren’t many clues, if any, to tell us how this mode will work, whether it will target resource consumption by apps and background processes, or whether it will also affect the software we’re using at the time, or yes, directly, it will constantly reduce the operating frequency of the SoC. But in any case, and given that the features of today’s high-end devices far exceed the needs of many of the uses we typically put devices to, it seems feasible to achieve a reduction in consumption in this way that does not affect usage What do we do with the phone?

On the other hand, it is still too early to confirm, but the growing rumor confirms that the company is preparing Samsung Galaxy Unpacked in San Francisco, which would take place during the first week of Februaryan event that will be dedicated with complete security to the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S23, which, like in previous years, will hit the market a few weeks later, before the end of the same month.
