The Galaxy S23 Ultra could get pronounced "bezels" around its cameras

Both the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Galaxy S23 are rumored to have the Galaxy S22 Ultra's design. But a subtle change could be made to the look of the Galaxy S23 Ultra's cameras.

A new tweet from long-time Samsung leaker IceUniverse says that the cameras on the back of the Galaxy S23 Ultra may look similar to the face of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, with a raised "bezel" in order to avoid scratches to the lenses.

Raised bezels will mean it's far less likely that the glass of the lens will come into contact with whatever surface you're placing the phone on, which would indeed limit the risk of scratches. However, it also sounds like a design that could gather a lot of dust and fluff from your pocket.

And you'll want to be taking lots of photos with the Galaxy S23 Ultra if the rumored 200MP camera upgrade turns out to be true. That plus a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Exynos chipset and an upgraded display seem to mark the S23 Ultra as a refinement of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, rather than a major rework of it.
