About this deal

The Galaxy S23 has an advantage over several other camera phones in its price range — it has a telephoto lens and devices like the iPhone 14 and Pixel 7 do not. That should mean sharper images, especially when you zoom for greater detail. The Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with Vision Booster on Galaxy S23 and S23+ received a certification from VDE Germany for 100 percent Mobile Colour Volume in the DCI-P3 colour range, which means your images aren’t washed out and you’ll get unbelievably vivid colours regardless of differing levels of brightness. The display can achieve peak brightness of up to 1750 nits, improving the contrast between dark and light aspects of digital content for a more brilliant picture quality, with a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio to make your mobile experience more immersive.

Software-wise, the Samsung Galaxy S23 comes with Android 13, accompanied by the latest version of Samsung’s One UI launcher (5.1). Generally speaking, there’s not much to complain about here, since Samsung takes more of a soft-touch approach than some other heavy-handed Android launchers we’ve looked at recently. Measured diagonally, the screen size is 16.31cm (6.4") in the full rectangle and 15.89cm (6.3") with accounting for the rounded corners. Change your airtime tariff after 30 days and then once every billing month during your minimum contract period, choosing from a selected family of tariffs. Some tariff extras are only available on the starting tariff, are not transferable, and may be lost if you change to an ineligible tariff. Devices are subject to availability. I took other selfie shots with the Galaxy S23's front camera that proved just as disappointing. It's easily the weakest part of the Galaxy S23 camera setup, but I don't think it should detract from the rear camera performance. On the whole, the Galaxy S23 produces some very good shots — especially with its zoom lens — even if the iPhone is still the better night camera.One thing I will mention is that Samsung is still insistent on filling its phones with its own-brand applications, as well as a bunch of other third party apps such as Netflix, Spotify and Facebook. These are annoying but can be uninstalled if you prefer. Samsung Galaxy S23 review: Cameras Our lab tests confirm that the Galaxy S23 display delivers a burst of color, with even the Natural mode capturing more of the sRGB and DCI-P3 color spectrums than rival phones. The Vivid mode boosts those percentages even higher, though at the expense of color accuracy — the Galaxy S23 has a Delta-E rating of 0.34 in Vivid and 0.24 in Natural. (The closer to zero, the more accurate the colors on screen.) That 0.24 rating tops both the iPhone 14 (0.25) and Pixel 7 (0.28).

These improvements also carry over to the gaming side of things. The S23’s on-chip Adreno 740 GPU was more adept in the GFXBench Manhattan 3 off-screen benchmark, pushing out 36% more frames than the previous Exynos 2200 and its Xclipse 920 GPU.

Terms & Conditions

As for the cameras, not much here has changed. The 50MP (f/1.8) main camera remains, alongside a 12MP (f/2.2) 120-degree ultrawide unit and a 10MP (f/2.4) 3x telephoto. However, the front-facing 12MP (f/2.2) selfie is now the same across all three models, up from the 10MP number in the previous version. The IP68 rating means your phone, in perfect conditions, can withstand water up to a depth of 1.5m for thirty minutes. However, we do not recommend using it while snorkelling or diving. Typical value tested under third-party laboratory condition. Typical value is the estimated average value considering the deviation in battery capacity among the battery samples tested under IEC 61960 standard. Rated capacity is 3785mAh for Galaxy S23, 4565mAh for Galaxy S23+ and 4855mAh for Galaxy S23 Ultra. Actual battery life may vary depending on network environment, usage patterns and other factors. Sad to say that the shooters on the rear have not been updated much: They remain as a combination of a 50MP main, 12MP ultra-wide and 10MP telephoto lens as last year. Thankfully, the computation stuff behind the scenes got a bit of a bump thanks to the chip, so the photos and videos come out much more balanced and naturalistic this time around. 8K video recording is still possible, the only difference is that it now supports 30 FPS rather than 24 of last year's model. 4K video goes up to 60 FPS. 1080p mode, impressively, can shoot 240 FPS. And lastly, the 720p slow-mo mode is at an astounding 960 FPS. Shots are HDR10+ supported with videos recording sound in stereo. The front camera, also, can record at 4K-60. It also received a bump and is now 12MP. Another fantastic smartphone built for great photos is the Google Pixel 7 Pro. Display: Samsung Flexes Again
