Upgrades to performance and battery life are minimal.
If you’ve seen Samsung’s phones in the recent past, you’ll recognize the Galaxy S23 series’ formula: one “small” 6.1-inch phone, a larger 6.6-inch model, and a range-topping 6.8-inch Ultra that steals the show. They all shoot better shots and move more quickly. However, this year’s competitive environment is significantly different. The S23 range faces competition from the Pixel family, which has finally delivered on some of Google’s loftier promises, as well as an extended Apple portfolio featuring two large-screen iPhone models. Compare the specifications in the table below, and look at our hands-on experiences with the S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra.
What’s Different
The 200-megapixel main camera on the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the main improvement, as you could have anticipated. It makes the 108MP sensor on the S22 Ultra appear underwhelming, as Samsung boasts excellent low-light photography and 8K video at 30 frames per second. The S23 and S23+ models additionally include an upgraded 12MP selfie camera (up from 10MP) with 60FPS HDR and can capture Expert RAW images with its primary cameras’ full 50MP resolution.
After that, incremental (if welcome) updates are the focus of the Galaxy S23 series. Each one of them makes use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU, which promises ray-traced graphics as well as significant improvements to AI performance and power usage. There is a minor increase in the size of batteries, and more recycled materials are used. Although the S23 Ultra still offers up to 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, memory and storage have essentially remained unaltered. If you need more than 8GB of RAM and a 1080p display, you’ll still want the most advanced device. Simply put, if you’re still satisfied with the S22’s capabilities, there’s no rush to upgrade.
