Samsung Galaxy S23 Review

Even with the release of the newer Samsung Galaxy S24, there's still a lot to love about 2023's Samsung Galaxy S23.

Pocketable, minimalistic design ; All-day battery life ; True flagship performance

Near-identical to Galaxy S22 ; Slow charge speeds ; Display only drops to 48Hz

It might not be all that different from the Galaxy S22, but the Samsung Galaxy S23 remains an excellent compact choice without much compromise, boasting top-end performance, versatile camera chops and, for the first time, true all-day battery life –...

Samsung Galaxy S23 review: if small is your cool

Samsung's smallest flagship, the Galaxy S23, brings a tweaked design and more battery, making for a great small-scale Android phone

Great small-scale Android option ; Battery capacity increase ; Updated design language

Battery life less than Plus & Ultra models ; No true camera upgrades like in the Ultra ; Not hugely different to Galaxy S22

The Samsung Galaxy S23 didn't really need to change a bunch of stuff compared to its predecessor to remain a stellar little phone. Little being the operative word: this is a small flagship with big successes, including a better battery than the...

Samsung Galaxy S23 review – A palm-friendly winner

A good upgrade that could've been great

A better, cleaner style ; Custom Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 ; Better selfie camera ; May be the perfect size

Not different enough ; Should have a 108MP sensor

Samsung has done enough to update the looks and components to produce a palm-friendly Android winner but the standard S23 isn't a must-have upgrade device.

Samsung Galaxy S23 review: a familiar formula, improved

The most mainstream Galaxy stays small while stepping up performance. Is the Galaxy S23 still a top Android pick?

Premium styling with beautiful build quality ; Epic performance and great battery life ; Some of the best mainstream smartphone cameras

Price bump from last year despite few major changes ; No big leap in camera capability ; Design has barely changed

Samsung plays it safe, but the S23 is still a brilliantly well-rounded phone. It’s the compact Android flagship to beat, if you don’t mind paying a premium.

Samsung Galaxy S23 review: the Android phone for everyone

The Samsung Galaxy S23 may be the base model of the S23 lineup, but there's a lot to love here. We break everything down in our full review!

Sleek and compact design Comfortable for one-handed use Very fast performance Reliable cameras take great photos Long-lasting battery life Five years of guaranteed updates

Base storage is still 128GB Fast charging up to only 25W Limited zoom quality past 10x

“The S23 has a clean design, a compact size that makes it comfortable to hold, a gorgeous display, a snappy processor, and reliable cameras. There's a lot to like about this one.”

Samsung Galaxy S23 review

One of the best compact phones in the world just got better - the Samsung Galaxy S23 is faster, sturdier, better connected, and with more battery juice....

No-nonsense sturdy and grippy design, IP68.

128GB uses UFS 3.1 instead of UFS 4.0 memory chips.

The new Galaxy S23 made our verdict quite easy this time - it's an impressive smartphone with modern specs and capabilities. It's a compact and lightweight phone, still priced below or around €1,000, making it much more attractive than Apple's offers....

Samsung Galaxy S23 Review

Pocket-friendly size ; Strong performance ; Good battery life ; Respectable cameras ; Reasonable price

Slower charging than S23+ and S23 Ultra ; No ultra-wideband (UWB) support

Premium specs, good battery life, and an above-average camera make the Samsung Galaxy S23 one of the best compact Android phones you can buy.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Review: Affordable Never Felt So Compelling - SlashGear

The Samsung Galaxy S23 is, for the first time in a few years, up to the task of taking on its significantly more expensive "Ultra" compatriot.

Top-quality display ; Solid cameras ; Outstanding battery life ; Delightful integration with Windows ; Great screen size

OneUI needs a refresh ; Nighttime photography could be better

Samsung Galaxy S23 review: A simply brilliant smartphone that packs a big punch

The Samsung Galaxy S23 is the best compact smartphone that money can buy right now. However, in spite of being better in some ways than its elder siblings, it risks getting overshadowed by the Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Galaxy S23 Plus.
