The Samsung Galaxy S23 is one of the most popular phones around in 2023, and it’s not hard to see why; despite its pocketable nature and its 6.1-inch display, it’s every bit a powerful flagship.
That’s partly thanks to the inclusion of the exclusive Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, boasting additional performance gains compared to the regular 8 Gen 2 found in most of the flagship competition. Combined with a compact FHD+ AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, it can handle just about anything you can throw at it with a buttery-smooth flourish.
That also extends to the camera setup, with a triple camera setup on the rear delivering a fairly versatile shooting experience. Its zoom capabilities aren’t quite up to the levels of the top-end S23 Ultra, but for most people, it’ll do the job. Images are crisp and vibrant with plenty of detail in well-lit conditions, with decent low-light performance to boot.
Throw in a multi-year OS upgrade promise from Samsung, all-day battery life and a premium design, and you’ve got a capable compact smartphone that’ll serve you for years to come.
