90% Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus review: The Galaxy you should buy
Source: Phone Arena
Despite my pessimistic expectations that the Galaxy S23 Plus was shaping up to be a minor improvement over the Galaxy S22 Plus, I can honestly admit that it's quite the improvement in many important, key areas. While there aren't exactly exciting revamps that "wow" at first glance, using the Galaxy S23 Plus reveals that Samsung has certainly perfected the formula behind the phone. When it comes to performance and battery life, two areas in which Samsung flagships (especially Exynos ones) have been lacking, the Galaxy S23 Plus goes back to the drawing board with the hopes of giving users a totally new Galaxy experience. That was especially true for me, as I was mostly accustomed to the Exynos versions of Samsung's flagships, and to say that I'm pleasantly surprised by Samsung's dedication to deeply ameliorate the Galaxy flagship lineup. The Galaxy S23 Plus surely has enough for it going on to be an excellent alternative to both the Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S23 Ultra, as well as a decent stepping stone for users that are willing to switch over from other manufacturers and ecosystems. Yes, even long-time users should consider switching to this one: the Galaxy S23 series is the perfect entry point into Android, and will remain so for many months to come. The Galaxy S23 Plus has a lot to offer, namely great performance and battery life, a bright and vivid display, as well as tons of features that build upon stock Android. In my opinion, this phone should be short-listed by anyone looking out for a new phone. It's hard to not get swayed by the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but this one is a traditional, sensible flagship smartphone that delivers on all fronts.

Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus Smartphones Review

Last but not least, the smartphone makers come with a great set of features and perks that will handle thoroughly the performance and gives beautiful camera results. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus are good choices that you should consider if you want to fully fledge flagship phones. If you are looking for a compact deal, we recommend you choose the Galaxy S23 in the first place. Though, you won’t find any major difference in the Plus variant except for the bigger battery life and tall aspect display. We will only recommend the Galaxy S23 Plus if you are willing to pay roughly $200 more for the bigger phone. Finally, you can look at alternative options like the ZTE Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro Plus, which comes with the same chipset for a lower price but have to give up the flagship camera setup. The final decision is in your hands, so choose according to your needs.

While Samsung's fresh 200MP HP2 camera sensor may be a Galaxy S23 Ultra exclusive here, all three phones at least get Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and some other minor tweaks.

Overall, this feels like a mild spec bump over the S22, new chip and massive camera improvement on the S23 Ultra aside. The hardware hasn’t changed all that much, and you even get mostly the same cameras as before on the S23 and S23+, just with some software enhancements. As with the iPhone 14, it feels like customers are getting shortchanged here, especially considering that the prices have gone up quite a bit over last year:

Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ First Impressions: More of the Same
Source: NDTV Gadgets
The Samsung Galaxy S23's battery capacity has grown from the previous 3,700mAh to 3,900mAh, but the charging speed is still limited to 25W for wired and 10W for wireless charging. The Samsung Galaxy S23+ also gets a bigger 4,700mAh battery (from the previous 4,500mAh) but it can now charge at 45W when plugged in. Wireless charging is still limited to 10W. Both smartphones are powered by One UI 5.1 which is based on Android 13. Just like last year, Samsung has reserved the best hardware for its ‘Ultra' model and because of that, there's little that has changed with the new Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S23+ models this year when it comes to features. Minor cosmetic changes aside, Samsung seems to be banking on the customised Qualcomm SoC to set its phones apart. Stay tuned for our detailed review to find out if these should be your next flagship.

Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra Hands-on: 200-megapixels in my pocket
Source: Mobile Syrup
In my testing, the S23 Ultra’s camera array is overall better than the S22’s, and I’m excited to put it through its paces once I get my hands on a review device. Alongside its shiny new 200-megapixel camera, I’ll test out its other three sensors, and put the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 through the wringer, alongside the 12GB of RAM and 5,000mAh battery. On the other hand, the S23 and S23+ are pretty much the same as last year’s devices, with upgraded camera software and a better selfie shooter. The S23 starts at $1,099.99 for the 128GB model and $1,179.99 for the 256GB variant. The 265GB S22+ is available for $1,399, and the 512GB variant comes to $1,559. Lastly, the Ultra comes in at $1,649.99 for the 256GB model, the 512GB variant costs costs $1,889.99, and the Samsung exclusive 1TB costs costs $2,209. While previous rumours said the phones would be more expensive, this luckily isn’t the case. In fact, the S22 Ultra’s 128GB model was priced at $1,649.99, the same as the S23 Ultra’s 256GB. Samsung cutting the 128GB storage variant from the Plus and Ultra options was definitely a solid choice on the tech giant’s part. The S23 series comes in ‘Lavender” ‘Green,’ ‘Cream’ and ‘Phantom Black’ and are now available for pre-order. Further, the Galaxy S23 and S23+ are also available in ‘Lime’ and ‘Graphite’ while the S23 Ultra is available in ‘Lime,’ ‘Graphite,’ ‘Red’ and ‘Sky Blue’ colourways exclusively on Samsung’s website.

First Impressions: Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus Review
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus might seem like the awkward middle child of the S23 range sat between the small-screen S23 and all-singing-and-dancing S23 Ultra, but if you’re more focused on entertainment than productivity and high-end photography, it looks to be a more tempting and, rather crucially, cheaper option than the top-end S23 Ultra. It’ll be interesting to put the phone, and its unique chipset and camera setup in particular, to the test when we get a sample back to the Trusted Reviews office.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, S23+, and S23 hands-on review
Source: GSM Arena
So let's try and summarize everything. Say you're the owner of a Galaxy S22 or Galaxy S22+, and you're looking at this pair and wondering if you should upgrade. The pre-booking campaign didn't offer enough in the way of discounts to really make a difference. The slight spec differences are also not enough to coax people into an upgrade. Well, perhaps disgruntled owners of the smaller Galaxy S22 might seek refuge in the Galaxy S23's potential battery improvement but that may be an edge case. The outlook isn't as grim for potential buyers of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Whether you own a Galaxy S22 Ultra or are in the market for the best possible smartphone, the S23 Ultra has something to entice you. We're banking on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 to bring a tangible difference to both performance and battery life. The new 200MP camera has the potential to be much better than the stalwart 108MP.

Samsung Galaxy S23/S23+ hands-on review: Small changes to a solid formula
Source: Laptop Mag
Much like the Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23+ are on an incremental update process. Of course, the design is a little fresher and more refined (RIP camera bump integrated into the edge), but on current first impressions, we’re in for something rather nice this year. With the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform, improved night photography and a bigger battery, the Samsung Galaxy S23 vs iPhone 14 battle looks set to be a tight fight. But we’ll leave a full opinion for our proper hands-on review of both these phones.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Series Hands-On: Familiar Phones, Custom Snapdragon Superpowers
Source: Hot Hardware
Overall, It’s clear that Samsung’s new S23 flagships are iterative. And while these handsets deliver solid specs and features, the design language here is very familiar. Still, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is a welcome update – especially for those who have endured Samsung’s Exynos chips – and the S23 Ultra’s 200MP main shooter is rather promising. Stay tuned, though – I’ll have more to share in my full review soon.

Hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy S23 series: Different enough?
Source: Android Authority
Yes, you’ve seen a lot of this Samsung Galaxy before and certainly shouldn’t rush up to upgrade if you already own a recent model. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Of course, we would have liked faster charging, a revolutionary camera setup, or a groundbreaking redesign, but incremental improvements are just part and parcel of the mature smartphone ecosystem. What Samsung has done here is take what can be changed without much difficulty and cost, and refined it that bit further. Furthermore, that consistency is allowing Samsung to support its products longer-term. The Galaxy S23 series still comes with an Android-leading update pledge of four-year OS and five-year security patches. Meanwhile, eschewing ultra-fast charging might seem less sexy, but it will help the batteries last many years. The company also offers decent trade-in value on older models should you want to upgrade early. With Galaxy S23 prices the same as last year in the US (due in no small part to the phone’s familiarity), the Galaxy S23 series continues to stand out as a solid long-term investment. Our hands-on time has confirmed that Samsung still knows how to build great phones, even if they’re not going to blow your mind anymore.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus hands-on review: Middle of the road
Source: Expert Reviews
Clearly, the S23 Plus is more of an iterative change than a complete reinvention. That’s not a hugely bad thing – after all, we liked last year’s S22 Plus – but it would have been nice for Samsung to introduce at least something special here, rather than simply play it safe and stick with its tried-and-tested “bigger screen, bigger battery” formula. After all, the S23 Plus isn’t exactly cheap. It starts at £1,049 for the 256GB model, which is £100 more expensive than last year’s phone. Want more storage? Expect to pay £1,149 for the privilege when it releases on 17 February.

Samsung Galaxy S23+ initial review: Subtle changes
Source: Pocket Lint
The Samsung Galaxy S23+ delivers a premium build quality like its predecessor, along with a bright and vibrant display, a host of features and an upgrade in hardware. It has all the makings of being a great device, just like its predecessor was. The only problem with the Galaxy S23+ is that it's not overly exciting. Yes the design has been streamlined, but it hasn't moved on all that much so you don't get quite the same feeling as the likes of the Galaxy S8+ did back in the day when it replaced the Galaxy S7 Edge. We suspect the Galaxy S23+ will be a brilliant performer, but we do get the feeling Samsung has played it a little safe this year with this range, a little like Apple did with the iPhone 14.

Hands on: Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus review – refined looks, powerful specs
Source: Techradar
I'm a bit torn over the loss of the Contour Cut camera on the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus. In Samsung's newest handset line – the S23 series – that raised bit of metal surrounding the camera array is gone. It's a cleaner look that I like, but I also worry that this 6.6-inch phone, and its smaller 6.1-inch sister (the Samsung Galaxy S23), have lost a signature look and a distinction from the rest of the smartphone pack.

Galaxy S23 Plus Preview: Samsung's hidden ace
Source: Phone Arena
So far, we expect the S23 Plus to be quite the major improvement over the Galaxy S22 Plus in some areas, and not so much in others. When it comes to performance and battery life, we are hopeful that Samsung could introduce major enhancements to the Galaxy S23 Plus and the Galaxy S23-series as a whole thanks to its almost certain decision to drop its own silicon in favor of Qualcomm's. These improvements, paired with the generally excellent value that a Samsung flagship phone brings to the table might just be enough to make the S23 Plus our go-to recommendation when it comes to an all-around good Android phone. But hey, let's not put the cart in front of the horse.
