With its new cutting-edge design, the Galaxy S23 series demonstrates that innovation brings both high performance and durability for the ultimate premium experience.

The Galaxy S23 series raises the bar for quality and aesthetics with less environmental impact than previous generations. To achieve this, we’ve incorporated recycled materials into more device components than any previous Galaxy smartphone and designed the packaging box using 100% recycled paper. The presence of recycled materials in the Galaxy S23 series has also been increased, from six internal components made from eco-friendly materials in the Galaxy S22 Ultra to 12 internal and external components incorporating recycled materials in the Galaxy S23 Ultra .

We’ve also used a wider variety of recycled materials, including pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass, for Galaxy devices. Continuing to increase recycled materials in Galaxy devices helps us reduce our impact on the environment. Specifically, the use of recycled ocean-bound plastics in the Galaxy S23 series could prevent more than 15 tons of discarded fishing nets from entering the world’s oceans by the end of 2023, helping to reduce the ocean pollution.

The Galaxy S23 series is built to last with durability and repairability, making it reliable for years to come. It is the first device to feature Corning^® Gorilla^® Victory in glass^® 2, which provides durability for long-term use and contains an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled content. The Galaxy S23 series also provides four generations of operating system upgrades and five years of security updates, so users are protected longer.
