The South Korean company has recently launched its latest flagship smartphone to the market, the Samsung Galaxy S23. This smartphone series is composed of three smartphones just like before and they’re focusing on these features for this series — a better night camera and also a sustainable design. Features that won’t really make a big change on the outside but they will definitely affect the performance and your camera experience on the smartphone.
A similar design
Design-wise the Samsung Galaxy S23 series comes with a similar look to the previous generation with the Samsung Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S23+ featuring an almost similar design with a different camera module. It now features protruding camera circles at the back which made it look thinner as well while the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra features almost the same design.
The biggest difference between the previous generation is that it now comes with a flatter side which makes it more ergonomic than before and the grip is a lot better on the whole Galaxy S23 series smartphones. For the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, it might have a similar look but the display has fewer curves which makes the display ideal to write on of course, there’s the S-Pen as well on the Ultra and it now comes with text recognition from photos so you can copy objects and texts to another app.
For the display of the smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series comes in 6.1″, 6.6″ and 6.8″ for the Galaxy S23, S23+ and Ultra variants respectively. While the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ are the only ones to pack a Full HD resolution while the Ultra variant comes with a QHD+ resolution. All of them packs a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz refresh rate.
Better battery
For the battery, the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ got an upgrade with 200mAh battery on both smartphones. The smartphones are getting 3900mAh battery and also a 4700mAh battery inside respectively while the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is getting a 5000mAh battery which is similar to the previous generation
Powered by Snapdragon
Inside these devices is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and boy, there are a lot of upgrades for the CPU, GPU, and NPU. As for the RAM the smartphones come with 8GB of RAM and up to 12GB of RAM depending on the device.
For the software, the smartphone comes with OneUI 5.1 and they added more features including more flexible widgets and now, you can crop and copy objects or people just like on the iPhone without needing any other application.
Big camera upgrade
For the camera features of the smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ come with a 50MP main camera while the Galaxy S23 Ultra features a better 200MP main camera and just like before, the Ultra version comes with a better camera and better zooming capabilities.
Compared to the previous generation, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Series smartphone is a lot better especially in terms of nightography as the smartphone now comes with night selfie, night portrait, and better night videos. So whether you want to use it for photos or video, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series smartphone is a big upgrade.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Series is just an incremental upgrade from the previous generation but if you want a smartphone that comes with one of the best cameras, a better grip, and ergonomics then you might want to take a look at these smartphones.
