More space! Samsung Galaxy S23 gets new version with twice as much storage in Brazil

Samsung has just announced a new version of the Galaxy S23 that is the solution to the problem of those who are always faced with “storage full” warnings on their cell phone. The new version has double the storage compared to the standard 256 GB, which means that users will now be able to have up to 512 GB of space to store whatever they want.
The new version of the Galaxy S23 is exclusive to Samsung’s official internet store, the Samsung Store. Daniel Couri, Senior Director of E-Commerce at Samsung Brazil, explains the motivation for launching this edition:
We want to offer people another possibility to choose what is most convenient for their respective routines. With images and videos of increasingly higher resolution and quality, it offers more space and flexibility, allowing you to store data and special moments without worry.
The only difference in this version is the additional storage, as the original Galaxy S23 was only sold in 128 GB and 256 GB versions, but does not have a microSD card slot, which leaves its users limited to the device’s native storage.
Check out all of its specifications below:
The new 512 GB Galaxy S23 will be available from today (9) at the official Samsung Brazil store on the internet for the suggested price of R$7,499 in Black, Green and Cream.
It is worth mentioning that the Galaxy S23 with 128 GB can now be purchased for R$3,599 as reported by the TudoCelular price monitor. Find out more here.

A huge magma river runs beneath Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula. In places the ground rises threateningly. The authorities are worried.
Reykjavik – Things are simmering near the Icelandic capital Reykjavik. For almost two weeks, underground activity in a volcanic area on the Reykjanes Peninsula has been causing earthquakes. As the Icelandic weather authority Vedurstofa announced on Monday (November 6th), it recorded a total of 1,300 earthquakes in the period of 24 hours alone. A volcanic eruption is becoming increasingly likely. Last year, thousands of earthquakes announced an outbreak on Iceland.

Three of the most recently measured earthquakes exceeded magnitude 3 – the strongest reached a magnitude of 3.6. According to the weather authority in Iceland, this occurred around three kilometers northeast of Mount Thorbjörn. The ground there has so far risen by seven centimeters, which indicates an impending eruption, the authority continued. There is a magma flow underground that is significantly larger than during previous volcanic activity.
Reykjanes Peninsula
The Reykjanes Peninsula is located in Iceland, southwest of the capital Reykjavik. In the past three years, earthquake swarms in this region have indicated volcanic eruptions three times: most recently, an eruption took place there in July 2023, which lasted several weeks but did not pose a major threat to inhabited areas.
The Icelandic public broadcaster RÚV is following the situation at Thorbjörn in one Livestream. According to the broadcaster, however, there is so far no evidence that the underground magma is getting closer to the earth’s surface and emerging from the ground.
Impending volcanic eruption in Iceland: Authorities are particularly concerned regarding a geothermal power plant
If the magma does make its way to the surface in the coming days, it would mean a volcanic eruption. Like the Vulkan news portal Vulkane.net explained, it is currently not possible to locate an exact location of the eruption. Nevertheless, an eruption on the peninsula near Iceland in the area between Thorsbjörn and Eldvörp is most likely due to the significant ground elevation.
Icelandic authorities are particularly concerned regarding a geothermal power plant in the region. Right next to the power plant is the so-called Blue Lagoon, a much-visited thermal bath. In the event that a volcanic eruption actually occurs on the peninsula near Iceland, there is already an evacuation plan for the town of Grindavík. However, an evacuation is only carried out if human life is threatened. Vídir Reynisson, the director of Icelandic Civil Defense, said this at a press conference on Monday (November 6).
Meanwhile, there is also a threat of a volcanic eruption in Italy: a supervolcano on the southern Italian coast is currently under close observation. There have already been several small earthquakes in the region. (dt/dpa)
