Create and Construct

Premium looks and excellent performance go hand in hand on the Samsung Galaxy S23+ which uses strong aerospace aluminum and tough Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The 6.21 x 3.00 x 0.30 inches (157.8 x 76.2 x 7.6 mm) bodyweighing 6.91 oz (196g) helps with feeling comfortable when you hold it. Phantom Black, Cream, Green and Lavender are the colors available and the matte coating resists prints. A new customizable Side Key on the S23+ helps you access camera or Bixby apps fast for a better user experience.

• Aerospace-grade aluminum frame
• Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front and back
• IP68 water and dust resistance
• Side-mounted customizable Side Key
• USB-C port for charging and data
• No physical SIM card slot (eSIM only)

The phone cuts costs by dropping the unique periscope lens, depending on digital zoom instead. It can wirelessly charge at 15W and you can also charge other devices with its reverse wireless function. Being without a home button fits newer navigation on the screen and face recognition by the front camera.

Samsung Galaxy S23+ Display

Samsung Galaxy S23 plus 6.6” Dynamic AMOLED 2X display offers both amazing colors and HDR10+ encounter, with 2340 x 1080 pixel resolution and a high pixel density of 393 PPI. At a typical 1200 nits and up to 1750 nits, it’s extremely easy to see outside in sunlight. Connecting to Sci-Fi Tree gives you a smoother scrolling effect than budget devices that use a 60Hz display.

• 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X
• 2340 x 1080 (393 PPI)
• HDR10+ support
• 1200 nits (typical), 1750 nits (peak)
• 120Hz adaptive refresh rate

The display looks wonderful for media and games, but we wish it had an Always-On Display toggle everywhere. It is praised for its clear and bright pictures; however, its resolution falls a little behind the best models.

Software and Processor

With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy driving it, the S23+ features a 4nm 8-core CPU and Adreno 740 GPU for a big improvement in performance versus Snapdragon 888-equipped phones. Because of its 8GB RAM and either 256GB or 512GB storage, it functions really well for multitasking and gaming. To guarantee 4 years of updates, this upgrade of One UI 5.1 needs Android 13 (upgradable to Android 15). Things like advanced photo editor and Bixby routines help users finish their tasks more efficiently.

• Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy
• 8GB RAM
• Storage: 256GB , 512GB
• One UI 5.1 (Android 13)

Though the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 boosts efficiency, it is clear that some users face problems with Bluetooth, although they should be resolved by using software updates. Samsung DeX and artificial intelligence allow you to do more with your device.

Camera System

You have a main 50MP camera (f/1.8, 24mm) with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide (f/2.2, 120° FOV) and a 10MP telephoto (f/2.4, 70mm) with 3xOptical zoom on the rear of the S23+. The front 12MP camera (with an f/2.2 aperture) supports both autofocus and face recognition. You can grab sharp 30fps 8K video and clear 60fps 4K footage with HDR10+. You can use Night Mode, Expert RAW and Single Take on the device.

The New Fold phone’s cameras work well in every light, while the telephoto lens makes it more flexible for shooting faraway objects. According to reviewers, the ultra-wide lens is usable, even if it doesn’t quite match the main sensor in dim light.
