Samsung Galaxy S23 Specification
The galaxy s23 is the most compact model
of the new series and also packs nearly
the same features as the previous model
Is anyone looking for the fancy new
features would have to Shell out a lot
of extra cash for the ultra but still
there are a handful of notable upgrades
here compared to last year the battery
is larger the screen brighter and you
also, get a much more powerful power
efficient chipset
the design has changed too you get the
same compact form factor but both the
back and the front are now made from
more durable Gorilla Glass vectors too
and you also no longer get the camera
bump that wraps into the aluminum frame
now each camera sticks out individually
from the back
of course, you get the ip68 rated water
and dust resistance like last year and
the generations before it
but this year's phones are made from
even more recycled material in an effort
to reduce waste the display of the
Galaxy s23 is again a 6.1-inch Dynamic
AMOLED with a 1080p resolution and a 120
hertz refresh rate
As I mentioned earlier the major
the difference in the new model is the max
brightness we measured up to 790 nits
with the manual slider and this can
boost to an impressive 1200 nits in auto
the mode that's compared to the already
impressive 980 nits Max on the s22
this panel is also quite sharp over
420 PPI and the color accuracy is
consistently great support for HDR
10 plus too but no 10-bit color may be
next year the refresh rate is handled in
a similar fashion to the s22 while using
the interface you get the smooth 120
hertz and when the screen is idling it
can go down as low as 10 Hertz we only
saw a dial down to 24 though you get a
pair of stereo speakers on the Galaxy
s23 with Dolby Atmos support the
loudness is good here and the sound
quality is better than the s22s with
Rich vocals nice highs and noticeable
Bass
wide awake but you're a nightmare
there's an ultrasonic under display
fingerprint reader which is quite fast
and reliable
and you can get the s23 with 128 256 or
512 gigs of storage on board but the 128
gig model uses the older 3.1
now let's talk about the interface of
the s23 it's Samsung's new UI 5.1
based on Android 13. amongst many other
changes compared to earlier versions one
ui5 brings enhanced optimization and
feels much faster and more fluid we have
a dedicated video about one ui5 if you'd
like to learn more about its specific
features
but we will mention here that the 0.1
update for the s23 series adds a few
things here and there like a new battery
the widget you also get wallpaper options
and modes for further customization
and within the menu of the connected device
there's now the option to continue
browsing on PC if you're using the
Samsung web browser
probably the most significant upgrade
you'll find on the s23 the new
chipset the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is
qualcomm's new chipset that's starting
to appear in flagships but the new
Samsung goes a step further they have a
custom version with a higher CPU and GPU
clock speeds called the Snapdragon hn2
for Galaxy
the improvements in both CPU and
graphics performance over the previous
generation is huge and on top of that
there's now support for advanced memory
Technologies like us 4.0 and lpddr5x
RAM when it comes to benchmarks the s23
sits at the top of the charts right now
only bested by the red Magic 8 Pro a
dedicated gaming phone and that's
because of The Thermals which are just
average here
still the overall performance on the s23
is quite impressive even by Flagship
standards
another change from last year is that
the battery capacity is 200 milliamp
hours larger at 3 900 milliamp hours and
together with a more power efficient
the chipset that makes for a better battery
life the s23 was able to earn an
endurance rating of 101 hours in our
proprietary tests an excellent showing
the runtime of the all-important web
browsing test has improved by 30
compared to the s22 the s23 supports 25
watt charging though of course you don't
get an adapter in the box with the
proper one from Samsung we were able to
charge the s23 from 0 to 57 in half an
the hour which is in the same ballpark as
the s22 but slightly slower probably
because the battery is larger now and
again there's support for wireless
charging and reverse wireless charging
the s23 gets the same three cameras on
the back as last year's model a 50
megapixel main cam a 10-megapixel 3
times telephoto and a 12-megapixel Ultra
wide cam
the main camera saves 12 megapixels
photos by default and the performance are
solid and consistent it's basically
identical to what we saw from the s22
last year
you get good resolved detail likable
sharpness high contrast and Lively
saturated colors the dynamic range is
good but not over the top
portraits taken with the main cam are
excellent with great separation and
exposure to detailed and colorful subjects
and convincing blurred backgrounds
it can also take zoomed portraits using
the telephoto cam they're just as great
as the regular ones and maybe the
separation is even better around tricky
areas like hair
three times Zoom photos from the
telephoto cam is excellent even though
they're upscaled from 10 megapixels to
12. they are incredibly detailed with
accurate and Lively colors satisfying
contrast and great dynamic range
the ultrawide cam also does an
impressive job the photos we took are
detailed with proficiently cleaned noise
and straightened out corners the
contrast and dynamic range are quite
good too
we were hoping that the ultrawide cam
would get autofocus this year for macro
shooting and it was even listed in the
s23s specs from some sources but no the
focus is fixed just like on the s22
in low-light conditions the Galaxy s23
will automatically switch to night
mode these photos shot with the main
The camera is excellent with plenty of
detail nice exposure realistic color
rendition of high contrast and likable
dynamic range the noise has been cleaned
very well to it's also worth noting
that these sorts of shots seem to
process faster here than they did on the
s22 thanks to the more powerful Hardware
you can also toggle on the night mode
manually which might be necessary for
cases where the auto night mode didn't
kick in the quality between the auto and
manual night modes are identical but the
capture speed is a tad slower here
the photos we took without night mode at
all are more realistic as far as colors
and exposure is concerned they have
less blown highlights there are more
visible noise but the quality is still
very good here
the telephoto camo also applied the auto
night mode processing night mode shots
have a satisfying level of detail low
noise and Lively colors the exposure
contrast and dynamic range are good too
shooting with a telephoto without a night
mode is possible but there's less detail
and more noise at least the colors and
dynamic range is still solid and the
the phone won't crop from the main cam like
it often used to do with the s22
the ultrawide does a great job in low
light with the auto night mode kicking
in there's enough detail low noise and
The lively color rendition of the exposure and
dynamic range is very good
without night mode the ultra-wide photos
are usable with good color saturation
and enough dynamic range but they're
noisy and rather dark
on the front of the Galaxy s23, you'll
find this year's new camera a 12
megapixel selfie cam which likes the
the previous one has autofocus
the Selfies are outstanding with
excellent detail balance sharpening low
noise and great-looking colors you get
wide dynamic range and the subject is
always well exposed
now on to video recording and let's
start with 8K from the main camera
now you can record it at 30 FPS up from
24 on the s22 these clips have true to
life colors and excellent dynamic range
but the detail level is just average
4K video from the main camera is
outstanding in quality with plenty of
detail and sharpness true to life colors
low noise and wide dynamic range
4K videos from the telephoto camera are
top-notch too with good detail levels
low noise excellent colors and again
wide dynamic range
the ultrawide cam 4K video quality is
impressive the field of view is quite
wide there's plenty of detail and the
colors remain consistently Lively the
contrast and dynamic range are good too
there's electronic stabilization
available on all of the cameras and it
works great
now let's have a look at some low light
footage the quality from the main cam is
decent with enough detail and realistic
colors and tolerable noise levels the
exposure and dynamic range are all right
the telephoto cam is uninspiring at
the night though these 4K Clips are noisy
and blurry and the dynamic range is
rather low
nighttime videos from the ultra-wide cam
are good with a decent exposure enough
detail and realistic-looking colors
so that's the Samsung galaxy s23
compared to last year was not a huge
update but there are still some
meaningful upgrades mainly the battery
life has improved which was the sore
point of the s22 and there's also a
brighter screen a new selfie Cam and of
course a more powerful chipset some
people might be disappointed that here
you don't get some of the fancy new techs
that is debuting on the s23 Ultra in
In comparison, the vanilla s23 is a bit more
boring and would hardly attract 22
owners looking to upgrade but
nonetheless, the s23 is a well-rounded
and feature-packed compact Flagship that
is worth recommending
