If the end of 2022 will give pride of place to the new Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro, expected in early December, the start of the 2023 vintage will quickly be punctuated by the next Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra. The flagships of Samsung indeed have a habit of pointing the tip of their noses at this precise period.
