Samsung Galaxy S23 review: the Android phone for everyone

The Samsung Galaxy S23 may be the base model of the S23 lineup, but there's a lot to love here. We break everything down in our full review!

Sleek and compact design Comfortable for one-handed use Very fast performance Reliable cameras take great photos Long-lasting battery life Five years of guaranteed updates

Base storage is still 128GB Fast charging up to only 25W Limited zoom quality past 10x

“The S23 has a clean design, a compact size that makes it comfortable to hold, a gorgeous display, a snappy processor, and reliable cameras. There's a lot to like about this one.”

Samsung Galaxy S23 review

One of the best compact phones in the world just got better - the Samsung Galaxy S23 is faster, sturdier, better connected, and with more battery juice....

No-nonsense sturdy and grippy design, IP68.

128GB uses UFS 3.1 instead of UFS 4.0 memory chips.

The new Galaxy S23 made our verdict quite easy this time - it's an impressive smartphone with modern specs and capabilities. It's a compact and lightweight phone, still priced below or around €1,000, making it much more attractive than Apple's offers....

Samsung Galaxy S23 Review

Pocket-friendly size ; Strong performance ; Good battery life ; Respectable cameras ; Reasonable price

Slower charging than S23+ and S23 Ultra ; No ultra-wideband (UWB) support

Premium specs, good battery life, and an above-average camera make the Samsung Galaxy S23 one of the best compact Android phones you can buy.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Review: Affordable Never Felt So Compelling - SlashGear

The Samsung Galaxy S23 is, for the first time in a few years, up to the task of taking on its significantly more expensive "Ultra" compatriot.

Top-quality display ; Solid cameras ; Outstanding battery life ; Delightful integration with Windows ; Great screen size

OneUI needs a refresh ; Nighttime photography could be better

Samsung Galaxy S23 review: A giant among smaller phones

Read our Samsung Galaxy S23 review to discover why Samsung's smallest flagship won't live in anyone's shadow.

Improved battery life

It’s not a spoiler to tell you that Mini Me doesn’t spend all of his time in Dr. Evil’s shadow during the Austin Powers trilogy (well, it is, but the movies are 20 years old and I’m being vague here!). Likewise, the Samsung Galaxy S23 isn’t relegated...
