Samsung has reportedly decided to lower the specifications of the standard version of the Galaxy S23 in order to increase the gap between the Galaxy S23 standard version and the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra models. The standard version of the Galaxy S23 is expected to have fewer features, including a different type of flash memory, thicker borders, and different charging speeds.
UFS 3.1 Flash Memory
One of the biggest changes in the standard version of the Galaxy S23 will be the type of flash memory used. According to IT House, the standard version of the Galaxy S23 will use UFS 3.1 flash memory instead of UFS 4.0. The UFS 4.0 memory chip provides a sequential data read speed of up to 4200MB/s and a sequential write speed of up to 2800MB/s. On the other hand, UFS 3.1 provides a sequential read speed of up to 2100MB/s and a sequential write speed of up to 1200MB/s.
Samsung is doing these cut to keep the same price, but due to the current weak economy around the globe, they have to increase the price outside the States.

Thicker Borders
Another noticeable change in the standard version of the Galaxy S23 will be the thickness of the borders on the front of the device. The report suggests that the borders on the standard version will be thicker than those on the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra models.
Charging Speeds
Fast charging is an important factor for many consumers. The Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra support 45W wired fast charging, while the standard version of the Galaxy S23 may only support 25W wired charging. This means that the charging speed for the standard version of the Galaxy S23 will be slower than the charging speed for the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Wi-Fi
The Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra are also expected to have better Wi-Fi capabilities than the standard version of the Galaxy S23. According to the report, the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra will support Wi-Fi 7, while the standard version of the Galaxy S23 will only support Wi-Fi 6E. While this may not have much of an impact on consumers at present, it may have an impact in the future as more devices become compatible with Wi-Fi 7.
