Samsung Galaxy S23 series is tipped to launch in February next year. While the South Korean conglomerate is yet to confirm the development of the new Galaxy S23 series smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S23 along with the Galaxy S23+ were reportedly spotted on the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website, appearing to hint at the upcoming launch of these smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S23 appeared with model number SM-S911B, while the Galaxy S23+ is seen with model number SM-S916B. As per the listing, both devices will support 25W fast charging, like their predecessors.

In the FCC listing, spotted by MySmartPrice, two Samsung smartphones, believed to be the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+, have been listed with model numbers SM-S911B and SM-S916B respectively. The alleged listings confirm 25W fast charging support on the handsets. As per the listing, the regular model will feature a battery with model number EB-BS912ABY, with a 3,785mAh capacity. If this turns out to be correct, this would be a small upgrade over the 3,700mAh battery of the Galaxy S22. The battery of Galaxy S23+ has model number EB-BS916ABY and is rated 4,565mAh. This could translate to a 4,700mAh battery on paper. The listing does not reveal any further details about the specifications of the handsets.
