Verdict

I can safely say that the Samsung Galaxy S23 is the best small Android phone in the market right now. Its compact form factor and easy one-handed useability is its biggest selling point. Although the design may not be significantly different from its predecessor, the premium build quality, powerful performance thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and excellent camera capabilities make it a worthwhile investment for those seeking top-notch hardware on an Android device without breaking the bank.

    Pros

  • Clean and compact design
  • Stellar performance
  • Excellent cameras
  • Improved battery life

    Cons

  • Persistent shutter lag
  • Slow 25W charging speed
Design and display +

A side-by-side comparison of the Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S22 reveals only one major change: the rear camera housing on the newer model has disappeared. Instead, you get three standalone camera rings on the rear panel of the Galaxy S23, which gives it a minimalistic look. The Galaxy S23 looks cleaner and more refined for sure, but one might argue that the metal camera bump on the Galaxy S22 added some character to its design.

Cameras +

The cameras on the Galaxy S23 are largely unchanged from those of its predecessor. It features a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide and a 10MP telephoto lens on the back, while the front has a 12MP lens. In good lighting, the Galaxy S23 delivers visually striking photos with saturated colours and a wide dynamic range through the primary sensor. The pictures tend to have a warm hue, which makes outdoor and indoor shots taken in sunlight appear eye-catching. However, the camera has a noticeable shutter lag that can compromise quick snapshots or result in blurred images of moving subjects, which is a drawback.

Read More
Performance and software +

With the Galaxy S23, you get top-of-the-line hardware thanks to the blazing-fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 8GB of RAM. This combination is enough to effortlessly run through most of the apps available on the Play Store. Internal storage is capped at 256GB on the vanilla S23, while you can get up to 512GB on the S23 Plus and 1TB on the S23 Ultra (review). Throughout my use of the device, I didn't encounter any stuttering or lag. The Galaxy S23 delivers an incredibly smooth experience, with fast app loading times and seamless multitasking. Even during intensive usage, such as playing graphically demanding games, the device maintained optimal performance and never overheated.

Read More
Battery life +

The Galaxy S23 gets a 3,900mAh battery, a 200mAh increase from its predecessor. While this may sound like a minor upgrade, it has improved the S23's battery life substantially. Despite this improvement, the Galaxy S23 still has a one-day battery life (which can fluctuate if you're on an active 5G network throughout the day) and can't last two days straight. However, it can endure extended periods of heavy usage compared to the S22 and still maintain its battery life. I managed to get over 5 hours of active usage before having to reach for the charger.
