As we all know, the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ are given a new, even stripped down design that represents an evolution based on the previous model rather than a reinvention. Samsung mostly “eliminates” the camera hump and refines some details on the case so that the optics protrude slightly from the back.

Design with minimalism in mind
Otherwise, it will depend on the attractive looks that will be executed in a similar fashion in all of Samsung’s new smartphone series this year, so it should be used on the cheaper Galaxy A, E, F, and M models as well. I have. Only the Galaxy S23 Ultra stands out for its “note” look and possibly the upcoming foldable smartphones in the Galaxy Z series.
Samsung is holding back when it comes to color this year
The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ have 6.11-inch and 6.6-inch Infinity-O displays, respectively, with a small round hole for the front camera. It only reaches HD+ levels, but the pixel densities are of course slightly different due to the different screen sizes of 425 and 393 pixels per inch.
Beautiful corners and thin edges: the display of the Galaxy S23+
Both panels operate between 48 and 120 Hz. The refresh rate is dynamically adjusted to ensure a smooth display at all times. Each display has a cover made from Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, making it significantly more resistant to scratches and bumps. Of course, it also offers always-on mode and HDR10+ support.
Up to 40% more performance with Snapdragon CPUs – also in Europe
Under the hood is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, with the production of a new cluster structure, higher clock rates and a structure width of 4 nanometers, in addition to corresponding statements from Qualcomm and Samsung this should be confirmed and bring a significant leap forward. am. performance.
Samsung basically installs 8 gigabytes of LPDDR5-based RAM in the Galaxy S23 and S23+ and pairs this with 128 or 256 gigabytes (S23) or 256 or 512 gigabytes (S23+). There is no MicroSD card slot for memory expansion this year either. All European models support 2 physical NanoSIM cards and 1 eSIM card.
Few camera changes
There is also new hardware for the camera, which comes with some detailed changes. His two new “standard models” of the S23 series feature a 50-megapixel resolution, f/1.8 aperture, 23 mm equivalent focal length main camera, 85-degree wide-angle field of view, and dual-pixel autofocus. increase. .
The S23(+) main camera should look more (brighter).
In addition, there is an ultra-wide-angle camera with 12 megapixel resolution, f/2.2 aperture, 13mm equivalent focal length and a wide 120 degree field of view. Last but not least, each device also features a 10-megapixel camera with zoom optics, which has an f/2.4 aperture, 69mm equivalent focal length, and 36-degree It has a wide field of view. The combination of the three cameras finally gives us an optical triple zoom.
Front camera remains the same
On the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus, the front camera has also been improved once again.As usual, it runs at 12 megapixels and always uses autofocus. No. The selfie camera also offers HDR10+, has an f/2.2 aperture, a 25mm equivalent focal length, and a wide 80-degree field of view.
With the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus, Samsung will enable 8K video recording at up to 30 frames per second on the main camera unit. However in 4K mode you can only achieve 60 frames per second using either the main or front camera which is amazing in that the Snapdragon SoC actually allows up to 120 hertz for his 4K operation That’s it.
Better photos and videos in low light and at night
Among other things, the manufacturer touts improvements in the Galaxy S23 and S23+’s ability to take photos and videos at night and in poor lighting conditions. Apparently, this is mostly done using software. This is because only the main camera has optical image stabilization. Nevertheless, we want to provide clear, stable and colorful results for photos, videos, selfies and more, even in little light. At least that’s the promise.
Slightly larger battery, same charging speed, 10 watt wireless charging
The battery is minimally modified in the two cheaper versions of the Galaxy S23 series, albeit slightly larger. The S23 has a battery capacity of 3900mAh and the S23+ has a capacity of 4700mAh. The basic model charges up to 25 watts using a USB Type-C cable, while the plus version charges up to 45 watts. Samsung only talks about 10 watts max for wireless charging.Reverse wireless charging for accessories like wireless headphones is also supported again.

Transmission is via WiFi 6E, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3 and at least the larger of two cheap Samsung flagships via UltraWideband (UWB). The fingerprint reader is once again under the display surface, but unfortunately it remains to be seen if there have been improvements in terms of size or accuracy. Other features include two stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support . His 3.5 mm jack for headphones is still missing. The main difference between the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus is the size of the battery and display, so apart from the devices being the same in every detail. The thickness is exactly the same at 7.6mm. The operating system is of course Android 13 associated with Samsung One UI 5.x.
Free trade allows customers to choose between black, green, lavender and ‘cotton white’ colors across the S23 series. It is not yet known if other color variants will be sold on his website and which color variants will be sold. Not yet.
According to information previously released by German retailer Euronics, pre-orderers in the country have at least the option to buy one of the new Samsung smartphones from several providers with double the memory variants. So if you buy a model with 128 GB of flash memory, for the same price he gets a model with 256 GB. When a customer purchases each top model, they only have to pay the price of the next smaller version.
