What is RAM?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is different to the permanent storage provided by hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD) or memory cards in your equipment. RAM is used by your device to temporarily store data to carry out everyday operations. The more RAM your machine has, the faster you can expect it to open and run programs.

This device has 12GB RAM.

Updated user interface
The improved One UI 5.1 lets you customise your experience. From lock screen and wallpaper designs, to how the clock and notification bar appear. You can even manage how notifications appear and assign full-screen GIFs to your favourite contacts, plus even more personalisation options.

Google duo
Across the S23 range, you can collaborate, create, and chat together, even when you're apart, with Google Duo Live, share reactions to the latest Youtube videos, or share your screen to brainstorm ideas.

Please note: not all apps are free / apps might be removed from the Play store.

Please be aware: Samsung do not provide a wall (plug) charger with this device.


What is SIM free?
You'll receive an unlocked mobile, so there's no requirement to commit to any network, leaving you free to decide which SIM card / network to use in the device. This gives you the opportunity to find the most suitable plan, whether that's contract or pay-as-you-go, throughout the lifetime of the phone.

Additional information: manufacturers often update their Operating System (OS) software over the course of a device's lifespan – this means that your product might ship with a more advanced OS than specified.
