Samsung revealed its 2023 flagship series in February, with the launch of the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra. But if you want the best colours - or the most exclusive colours - for this new phone, then you'll have to look further afield.
All models come in four standard colours - that's Phantom Black, Green, Lavender and Cream. Regardless of the model you buy, you'll be able to get those colours. And let's face it, the Green is the most appealing, because you don't want to be getting another boring black phone. Those are also the colours you'll get when you go to order your phone from your favourite network, carrier or online retailer, but before you do, it's worth looking slightly closer to home. Closer to Samsung's home, that is.
That's because there's a range of exclusive colour options that Samsung is only offering through its own website (click here for Samsung US and here for Samsung UK) and for the Galaxy S23 Ultra those colours include Red, Lime, Sky Blue and Graphite. That Graphite is grey rather than black, because remember, there's already a Phantom Black in the normal options.
If you're looking for the Galaxy S23 or the S23+, your options are slightly more limited, with Lime and Graphite being the only options for those particular models. If you want to check out those models, go here for Samsung US or over here for Samsung UK.
