Specs Rating Review | Available – 2023, February 17 |
Introduction : The Galaxy S23 is the base model of Samsung’s flagship ‘S’ series smartphone with top specs and features in the current market. Samsung offers it’s best in this lineup for us.
Build & Design : Weight – 168Gram | Dimension – 5.76×2.79×0.30 inch | Network – 5G | Front – Glass (Gorilla Victus2) | Back – Glass (Gorilla Victus2) | Frame – Aluminum |
S23 has a solid build quality where Samsung uses the latest glass protection on both the front and back with an armor aluminum frame which is premium as well. The design is a very subjective thing, but in my opinion, it’s very minimal and beautiful. The matte finishing back glass is the most gorgeous part of this Galaxy design. But this flagship has a very similar camera housing to Samsung’s mid-range lineup, which is the only drawback of this design. S23 is a super attractive handy device because of light weight, small size, and cuteness!
- Display : Size – 6.1” AMOLED | Screen to body – 86.8% | Refresh rate – 120Hz | Resolution – 1080×2340 Pixel & 19.5:9 Ratio & 425 PPI & 1750Nits (Peak) |
Samsung uses a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display here, which is almost perfect. This is an almost bezel-less flat display with a very small punch hole cutout for the selfie camera. Here, I should say nothing if you just see the specs of this display. Just fantastic! But they could use a QHD display like the Ultra model. Otherwise, I have no complaints about this display at all.
- Performance : Software – Android 13 & One UI | Chipset – Snapdragon 8Gen 2 (4nm) | Scores – Antutu (V9) 1231075 & Geekbench (V5) 4950 & Speaker -27.0 LUFS |
This mini flagship has the mighty Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen 2, which is the most powerful processor across the Android market. The phone will get a little warm when you use it for heavy tasks and the cooling is average. But it’s considerable for the size. The Galaxy S23 is going to receive four years of Android upgrades and five years of security updates. Currently, One UI is one of the popular user interfaces because of it’s necessary features and responsiveness. The loudspeaker testing score of this smartphone is also decent enough.
- Camera : Wide – 50MP & Ultrawide – 12MP & Telephoto – 10MP | Selfie – 12MP |
The triple camera setup has all the necessary sensors. The color tone of the Samsung camera is very eye-catching for general people. You can have social media ready photos and videos from this S23. This phone can take outstanding portrait photos. The telephoto camera has 3x optical zoom and up to 30x, which isn’t high-end but good enough. Now, the video quality has improved a lot, where it can be comparable with a latest iPhone 14 easily. You can shoot up to 8k 30 fps video from the primary camera and 4k 60 fps from the selfie camera. This camera output doesn’t have any identical difference from it’s Ultra variant, which is great. Overall, it’s a solid performer camera setup for 2023.
- Battery : Capacity – 3900mah | Charge – Wired 25w & Wireless 15w & Reverse 4.5w | Backup – 11.27h & SOT 6.00h | Speed – 30m 57% & 1.16h 100% | Charger No |
The only sector where Samsung has not offered industry-leading specs is it’s small battery capacity. It is acceptable because of the size. But here you can see a tiny capacity increase from S22 but a massive backup improvement for the new power-efficient processor. S23 offers the perfect combination of three types of charging but in low wattage compared to others. However, you can see the charging speed data, which is average.
- Features & All : Security – Fingerprint (under display) | USB – Type C 3.2 | 3.5mm No | Resistant IP68 | AOD Yes | Stereo Yes | Samsung Dex |
S23 has almost all of the necessary features for a smartphone in 2023. The fingerprint sensor is super accurate and fast as well. Samsung Dex is an exclusive feature only for it’s flagship lineup, where you can switch your smartphone to a desktop by wired or wirelessly. This phone has IP68 water or dust resistance, where you have no more fear from water. The stereo sound system is also decent here.
- Variants : Sim – 1nano & 1esim or 2nano & 1esim | Memory – 8/128 or 8/256 or 8/512 & Not Expendable | Colors – Phantom Black or Cream or Green or Lavender or Graphite or Lime |
Suggestion : If you want to buy a small-sized flagship smartphone with no compromise, then the Samsung Galaxy S23 is the ultimate choice. It’s almost a perfect flagship smartphone in 2023. This S23 provides the “shut up and take my money” deals for compact phone lovers.
