Best for gaming experience
Equipped with Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is a powerhouse for gaming, delivering fast and powerful performance for games. The CPU micro architecture also boosts the processing abilities of the Galaxy S23 series by about 30% compared to the Galaxy S22 series[1], making the smartphone a great option for games that require fast response rate. And for a further touch of digital realism, the Galaxy S23 Ultra supports real-time ray tracing for mobile games, where users can notice more lifelike renderings of scenes, thanks to technology that stimulates and tracks every ray of light.
For gamers who prefer a larger screen estate, the Galaxy Tab S8 offers 120Hz display, which runs great for sports games such as Tic Tac Bow, Virtual Regatta, Zwift – which are all official games for Olympic Esports Series Finals.
