While in most S23 Ultra, you will find the HD+, FHD+, and WQHD+ resolution, in a selected few, you might come across HD+, FHD+, and QHD+ resolution, in other words, QHD+ instead of WQHD+. But truth be told, it shouldn’t be a great deal of inconvenience as both have the same screen resolution, which is 3088 x 1440 pixels.

So while the naming convention is slightly different [Quad High Definition+ vs Wide Quad High Definition+], you are still getting the same pixel resolution. Hence it shouldn’t make much of a difference, or rather any difference for that matter as you are still greeted with the same 2K screen. So this would have given you clarity regarding the missing WQHD+ resolution on Galaxy S23 Ultra.
