Samsung S23 Introduction:
It's hard to find a smaller phone these days and, as expected from Apple, the new Galaxy S23 also comes in an XL size. A dying breed, to be sure - near extinction? Or perhaps they're just not in high demand, no matter what you may have read about them through the internet or heard on YouTube. Do not fret, however, Samsung has gotten pretty good about ensuring there are plenty for people to choose from so it would be surprising if we saw the 'vanilla' S series device evaporating soon.
This is not your vanilla phone by the way - term used in no sense 'boring' or 'entry-level. It doesn't carry a "+" or an "Ultra" moniker like other flagships, but it is every bit the proper flagship; well, almost everything - no pun intended if you don't need top-notch photography chops. Otherwise it comes with all the usual specs you might expect on any flagship device, so 'vanilla' is a complete misnomer - we just had to do that for clarity.
The S23 also happens to be the cheapest of the S23s, so in a strictly financial sense, it is the 'entry-level' in Samsung's top line. But that doesn't make it any worse than the S23+, for example, it just makes it a better deal and better value for money, that is, of course, if you don't mind the size. If, on the other hand, youΒ loveΒ the size, then this is one of only a few handsets that are available in a more compact form factor and are also packing a punch in terms of specs, so there's that.
The S23 is a machine that we were so intrigued by, in fact-even considering our qualms and set-up misgivings-we put it through the paces of our long-term review process. Like with all Lifeproof models, you use nothing but this phone for an extended period to see what is like living through day-in, day-out... Maybe that's away from spec sheets and lab tests. Navigate to the next few pages and find out what we discovered during our time with the S23.
Samsung S23 Design:
The first thing that hits you about the S23 is its size, in a world of ever more gigantic phones. Naturally, it is of understated proportions too - if you can say that about a car... folks will notice it and we had several "ohh its smaller than mine" comments from people seeing us in this little bug. Strangely enough, the vast majority of these people came away with an air of excitement about its scale.
Still, when it came to the phones in which they were investing less than 650 dollars there would be no size reduction. Its an odd dichotomy - people claim they want smaller phones but then, when it comes down to making the purchase, and laying-your-money-where-your-mouth-is time rolls up on you? Unless it ultimately just comes down to screen real estate.
It was, to great relief of many, perfectly sized up until the screen turned on S23. Eventually the "oh, it's smaller" remarks grew to be more pejorative. This is not everybody, of course - but it was most. Because it appears that, for most people then, the screen size is more important than overall phone size to keep on buying 'normal' handsets. That means your rollable display smartphones (whatever happened to them?) could really take off if they ever launched.
And, well from the back-side this is a 2023 Samsung no doubt. They've really made the individual camera circles/islands a cornerstone of their design this year and across all their phones from cheapest to most expensive, so it's probably safe to say we'll see more enhancement in the future. Which is great for brand recognition, but maybe not so much when it comes to model recognition.
Everyone will identify you own a Samsung, they just really flecking know which one. It's an intriguing strategy, but we wonder where it might be going - the designs are nice enough too buy hasn't one phone in this race stood out yet? It will also help, no doubt, that in a year or two time all this kind of look fatigue. But of course, we are not there yet; so lets hope for redesigns.
Samsung logo workedinto back very subtly on our white review unit, sometimes barely visible; sign of a company with confidence in the ability for most to identify it as Samsung without shouting about its brand name
I also love the way that back glass feels to touch and it never shows smudges, which is an extra plus. Per usual, this makes for a lot of sliding - to the benefit (or misfortune) of some physics (or chemistry? On the other, due to an equally plausible (because really we're not experts) reason related one there are a tradeoff- you can either show off no fingerprints or have more slip-resistant device.
With that said, it's ultimately saved by a glossy metal frame when it comes to total slipperiness. There are slight browns of fingerprint marks on that, and part is not as slick as the back which makes handling good actually. Which, of course, is assisted by the size of this phone. Far more comfortable to use with one hand over any mainstream size) of device, and it also means you can pull the notifications panel down without requiring dexterous finger yoga - if your hands are big enough.
Well, if you have big hands or normal sized ones this is a blessed design because nor everyone as tiny hands and thank goodness there is good amount of them but at least it comes from its bigger brother. All of which is expected, given its size and reality does live up to the expectation.
The S23 on the other hand (there, now that was intentional) will forever feel tiny if you were used to regular-sized phones of recent times and with smaller screen size comes a lower default text size than what you must be accustomed by this point. This size can be made bigger but that means fewer things fit on the screen and it ends up looking a bit weird, as is evidenced by all the screenshots you see through this review.
The size also makes is a little more difficult to type accurately as the letters are shorter and closer. It is not as bad as on the outer screen of a Samsung Fold, obviously but it's also harder than your typical mainline sized phone and we thought it was worth noting.
The front is almost edge-to-edge display, as you would expect from a flagship. The top and side bezels looks the same (they are probably not, only bottom one seems slightly thicker), but it's negligible enough that you would't get annoyed by them. So, essentially only if you look for it.
The design overall is one of "safe" to put it lightly regarding the S23. Well executed - it's not offensive enough that you would hate looking at a shiny metal frame but inoffensive is the best we could come up with to describe Anders' designs, pretty much solid through and through work wise, yet they don't wow anyone. It feels like a decision that Samsung made purposely, so we suspect the company has data to suggest this approach would give it better results than trying something truly different.
Weβre not necessarily implying that it is a bad factor; rather, it is a choice. There is a way to go for people who want phones that are more outlandish in nature these days: that is with a βgaming phone,β and some regular Samsung competitors in China do indeed have a wide range of choices. If youβre also curious, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra doesnβt come with a charger, which doesnβt bring it into line with anything. Samsungβs common Chinese competitors do supply a charger, with some of them β such as the Realme GT β providing a simple case with their products. Itβs not something everyone is going to end up using, but it seems to have a good feeling because thorough versions of the phone sold for so much money are affected.
Samsung S23Β Display:
This is the best display we have ever tested and, with a wide margin so to say Use Program." It's not close. This is, quite possibly, the first screen I've ever used that appears to almost be more readable when you throw sun directly at it - and if that doesn't sound extraordinary on paper just take our word for it in person. This will never be not perfectly legible at any ambient light level and for years that's exactly what we have wanted phones displays to do. Well, it's been achieved now.
On the other front, you can get fairly dark at minimum brightness slider level and if that's not enough for you, there is an extra dim feature with its own slider to go even darker. Despite our resounding chorus of Thanks for Trying, though (we really do appreciate that), the auto brightness algorithm employed on all Samsungs this year simply - and we mean straight up never merely goes all-the-way down.
It's forever near- but never quite there - when you step into a 100% pitch black place. Therefore, you have to manually set that slider all the way down every time as for some reason this Setting does not as the rest of those manual adjustments you make, is The ambient light level remembered? This is frustrating, and something we've observed on several Samsung phones running both One UI 5. Seeing this come from the S21 FE with One UI 4.0 based on Android x and not specifically a new little brother in line, we assume that has to be intentional from Samsung; however I can't answer as to why they think it's better for anyone involved other.
Another thing that I just can't fathom is: the 'steps' for the brightness slider, they are way too microscopic at bottom end of the scale meaning getting everything to line up perfect because you want it a tad brighter (or darker) than mr. default setting means your finger has to hit that arrow key by fractions upon fractions millimeters and doing so in a rush or in any swift moves whatsoever ---- not happening!
We found ourselves on more than one occasion over adjusting and then having to back track. This is the very essence of a minor nitpick, but holy hell should these first 25% (from left to right) not be this incremental in steps as far as I'm concerned.
Ignoring all of that, the out-of-the-box auto brightness algorithm was not a great one - likely because it wasn't terrible either and we're being spoiled by some stellar ones as of late. We performed quite a few manual adjustments in the first couple of weeks or so with the S23, but none to point where it was truly annoying. The only time the brightness slider is disturbed -- ever, since those first two weeks!
It is also of a high quality β itβs a screen made by Samsung, after all, for a flagship Samsung phone, so color tuning is just as excellent, if you choose βNaturalβ itβs almost spot-on sRGB, and if you go for βVividβ itβs almost spot-on P3 too, apart from whites which are just a tiny bit too blue by default but you can always move the Cool-Warm slider one notch towards βWarmβ for maximum accuracy.
Β Once again, we have to say that Samsung makes color settings as simple as possible β there are two and only one of those can be altered in any way β itβs like the company itself acknowledges that it is just a tad less accurate
Anyway, aside from the White balance slider, you also get a way to adjust reds, blues, and greens individually if you dive into Advanced settings, and that's it. No confusing names, no over the top settings, just what you need and no pointless stuff on top. This is how all color settings should be, hopefully Samsung's competitors are listening.
The S23's panel is capable of 120 Hz refresh rate, and as usual with Samsung devices there's a menu where you can pick between two settings - Adaptive and Standard. The former will get you all the way up to 120 Hz more of the time, and is what we picked.
Ah, yes, refresh rate: one of the few options that virtually every monitor has and can make an absolutely massive difference to how smooth your games look -which is why this setting really must be cranked up (but we'll break down everything you need to know about trying it out with ray tracing below). If you're not as particularly lucky as we are with battery life on the S23, and don't mind a slight loss in smoothness, then maybe attempt moving down to Standard.
The S23 is not the best deal in price; from what has been so far established, 120 Hz is basically only available at one level or another down to even the cheapest considerable sum. That makes having this high refresh with a new phone obviously excellent but again also more of an expectation by now rather than something extraordinary
Samsung S23 Camera:
On the S23's back you'll find identical rear camera hardware to its sibling, which isn't an encouraging sight - these were fine sensors for last year but Sammy is starting to feel left behind in the camera hardware world as competitors keep pushing new tech and Samsung itself cruises alongside high brand awareness. Of course, we're going to reserve judgement on the S23's cameras until samples tell us how they actually perform. With those recycled parts making up this new phone, can the software make it perform as well as they should nowadays? We sure hope so.
So here is a summary, beginning with the big 50 MP sensor which combines pixels down to 12MP shot size: After all, these should feel like 12.5 MP when shot at full resolution; the same situation went down ~4 years ago as well.
However, we suspect that the 23mm width comes into play there -- perhaps some cropping.
In either case, the daytime shots are fairly contrasty and exhibit nice dynamic range and good detail with a sharpness level that is high-ish without going overboard. The colors are similarly oversaturated, but that gives you 'the Samsung look,' which is what reportedly most users want. No one is going to suggest that this processing looks "natural", but then again - if 9 out of every 10 people go for punchier colours and more contrast & sharpness, does it really matter?
What's slightly strange, but in the specifics as expected, is that these look nearly identical to what we saw from the Galaxy S22. This means that the software wizardry in the end didn't really do any good - we basically got all the same images produced from an unaltered main camera sensor. The desire for more storage makes sense but how acceptable it is at the high end in today's day and age... that one is up to you.
That ultrawide is solid for an ultra-wide, providing sharp images with noise well handled, strong contrast and dynamic range. But it ' s quite clear that the size of its colors are also common in main shooting and zooming cameras, but this is not an acceptable flagship for a flagship.
There are available Day Light, Night mode and auto night action is triggered any time the phone believes dark enough around you that images will be restrained. When this happens, a moon icon will appear in the viewfinder and tapping it will toggle Auto Night Mode back off - although why you'd ever want to disable that is beyond me. Night Mode shots on Auto are actually some of the fastest - every shot takes no more than a second or two, and while not out-of-this-world impressive compared to having it disabled (well lit scenarios will always be better), there's definitely an improvement. Since it's the default - and how 90% of S23 owners will use their phone, since barely anyone bothers with getting into the settings inside Camera app to begin with, let alone start tinkering around something like this - we shot all images below on Auto Night Mode. In the Auto Night Mode, however, this trigger sometimes failed.
They take fabulous pictures of the main camera They have a lot of detail(which is even resolved at that res), contrast, pretty good DR and noise reduction as well. The colors are still quite punchy but less than daytime, which usually is a better thing because without the bright light it's more real life unlike. That said, these are images that will probably be easily popular with most people.
Comparatively speaking, this camera has the highest delta between Auto and Night (Comp) mode when you add manual control to that mix where you can gain the most notably in noise reduction. In the case of the zoom camera, we'd therefore suggest you use Night Mode (if it doesn't take too long) at all times.
Up front meanwhile is an upgraded selfie camera. At the end of it you land on 12 MP instead of the previous 10, a change that was well needed ages ago. Daytime is crushed with selfies. These are high in detail, have low noise (even at higher ISOs), subdued colours and good dynamic range, but more importantly the shot will always be well-exposed. Both are sharp, but not overly so.
As is the case with most Samsungs, you get two field-of-view options (full and cropped). Its the same quality, just cropping. Sure, as you can guess this does dive dramatically in quality as less and less light is shone upon the world at night; but on all accounts - even low-light performance despite flash capabilities - it's definitely one of the top cameras to point towards your own mug right now. This seems to be the lesson you can expect Samsung not refresh camera hardware often, but when it does that will really set a new standard.
We clicked the nighttime selfie samples using screen flash, and that said we will suggest you to use even just for all conditions but under direct very high intensity artificial lighting around your subject. Hopefully you will have your face in a good contrast if it is. You can see the quality of nighttime selfies is obviously worse than during daytime, but it's still well within what we consider acceptabe for social media or showing to your friends.
So all in all, it is a strange but good camera set up with the S23. It sounds weird but yes you heard that to be right since the rear snappers are from its predecessor, yet they still shoot excellent pictures and Night Mode machining is quicker all around species. The subject of that last example was conspicuously stationary, but we can report that the S23 has some mighty fast Night Mode-ing - great news for low light shooters.
That is to say, these rear cameras in the Mi 10 Ultra are all well above average performers but none of them top their respective categories - which seems a bit strange for an flagship device like this. Smells (not so artificially) like differentiation slated for the S23 Ultra to our noses, no? Well, as for the improvement of selfie camera, it does feel that in terms of shot quality.
Samsung S23Β Performance:
Samsung Finally Read The Damn Room in 2023 - the Exynos Gatling Gun had been pissing them off for years, and someone finally unleashed hate to allow all of mankind have a taste of that unchained Snapdragon love thanks to Samsung's new release-Moses strategy. But this is unlikely to be a win for the Exynos haters and it could well have been very short-lived anyway as rumor has we'll likely return to pre-2023 days later this year with the launch of the S24.
Therefore, if you happen to reside in a location that once saw the S series drop with an Exynos and don't fancy another one of those, then it's only very likely indeed you won't give much thought to the incoming S24 when it drops within a few weeks. Which is OK because, yes, the Snapdragon 8 Gen has been succeeded by the Snapdragon 8 Gen but we'll be repeating ourselves about what should essentially always say with A series Snapdragons.
Β
The old one is perfectly good for any and all day to day activities, save for, perhaps, the most premium games. Oh, and AI stuff using AI specific bits in your phone's chipset, but that's still more of a marketing gimmick than anything else. Of course, there's a chance that Samsung's huge AI push for the S24 family will be more than just marketing fluff, but is it really a very high chance? Time will tell.
Anyway, it goes without saying, but let's say it nevertheless - the S23 is a top performer. The SoC is good, and very efficient too (see the Battery life section after this one to get a better idea what we mean by that), and it is, of course, veryΒ fast.
The S23 is also the smoothest Samsung weβve ever reviewed long term, but unfortunately still behind just so slightly, and we know we say this every year, but every year Samsung gets close to the competition. Still not quite there, but every year it gets so much closer, itβs within a margin range now. We wonder if it ever will. So the Xiaomi 13 Pro is still our smoothness king of all the phones weβve reviewed long-term; the OnePlus 11 is second. The S23 is third, and the delta between it and the two is the smallest itβs ever been. If youβre coming to it from another Samsung or any other device that isnβt the Xiaomi 13 Pro or the OnePlus 11.
Some of these traces had shown up here and there over the past months that we've been using the S23 when it was on One UI 5.1 - especially if you are away from your phone for a prolonged period (say, after waking up) and notifications would flood in one go where slight microlag to open/clear them could be observed One UI 6 is a lot better as far as lag and stutters go, there are simply less of them compared to the older version to an extent such that for most people now this phone would not actually be feeling very stuttery and slow. A few still stick out on occasion, but this is only because we handle so many phones day-to-day and can bring some rough comparisons to others- anyone else won't even notice/bat an eyelid (not like us).

Samsung S23Β Battery:
I was prepared for a trial by battery life if nothing else, but it's actually been completely fine in the week we've spent with the S23,-quite surprising given wild energy consumption figures on paper. It's less than ideal for today -- this is a small cell, after all-- but then again the phone is diminutive to match. Put two very efficient speakers, you got me sold already. - Not unaware that maybe I was taking things a little too far here and chases clouds instead of cows last day with 7% left on the battery %D This phone was easily getting us through each day, though even after a full week we still weren't managing two whole days with it - apart from at the weekends when our use usually drops below what's detailed here.
As such, we think it offers power preservation that is good overall. All in all - not bad, considering this is from a modest 3,900 mAh cell. Also scoring full marks is the way One UI 6 shows screen on time numbers not just for that current day, but a few days back to - and frankly this should be how these stats are always presented; here's hoping Samsung hasn't done its competitors some favour by pulling their finger out. It's certainly fun to compare numbers for a few days with just a couple of taps, and we appreciate that.
As you can see in the screenshots, we were at least expecting a 6-hour mark of on-screen time for most of our days(with what displayed above) and it was also very much vivid that an 8 hour- bar could be achieved as well. That's level with what we've formerly seen from phones offering ~1,000 mAh more power inside the pack and there really isn't much else to say about how long this smartphone lasts.
Having said that, the slow-ish charge time relative to competing phones is something we can and will gripe about. That's worse than Sony or iPhone fast charging times, but still better than almost all of its Chinese competition -- the S23 is 76 minutes away from being fully recharged.
As a comparison, the OnePlus 11 charges from 0 to full in just, with you getting around of juice after charging for half an hour. A difference this colossal in such a critical element of the experience is entirely unacceptable, and yet Samsung gets away with it year after goddamn year.
Maybe that suggests Samsung has made the rest of the experience so compelling you actually don't notice it, or maybe most people just aren't fussed about charging speed? Good battery life means you won't need these midday top-ups if your day mirrors ours, and given how long they'd take out of the box that's a definite win - unlike an absent charger in this no-frills retail package.
Wireless charging is also supported here as well, but once again it's capped at 15W so even slower than other wired type. That's less of an problem as far as we're concerned, since in our book that would be the primary way to charge it - overnight on a stand beside your bed while you aren't driving. Some will use wireless charging pads on their desk at work, for example, and with the great battery life that should be ok too - but of course your mileage may vary depending how you feel about it.
Like always, our use case consists of having the phone off the charger for about 12-16 hours per day with predominantly Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, an hour or two of 5G data, location always on with 30 minutes or so of GPS navigation via Waze, Bluetooth always on with about two hours or so of listening to music or podcasts via TWS earbuds, and an hour or so of phone calls via TWS earbuds. The usual disclaimers apply β if you have a significantly more data-heavy use case, and particularly if the signal isnβt great, that will adversely affect the screen on times youβll achieve in comparison to ours.
Samsung S23 Software:
Towards the end of this review, we received an update for One UI 6 based on Android 14 which appeared to be done with testing and ready for prime time when it hits Galaxy S23 devices. Samsung is also having its usual field day when it comes to rolling out this large of an update so quickly across such a wide range of devices without any Android maker even coming within arm's reach. Yes Google sends out updates faster, but they only support a couple of device anyway. To be fair, even at a company the size of Samsung it's pretty impressive to see them rolling out 5.0 so quickly on such an extensive schedule as this isn't perfectly common yet.
Which takes us to the more broad types of update discussions. Finally, there are the S-series phones which Samsung has said will receive four major software updates - so expect something like Android 17 arriving for the Galaxy S23 in late 2026.
Samsung is at the top of most third-party Android device makers that typically use two major updates as well. Only Google with its seven-year promise for recent flagships tops Samsung right now, so it remains best in class outside the company itself.
And we are not only referring to the big ones. The engine that could: Samsung does what everyone is supposed to do - they send out monthly security updates every month. Many of its rivals are not. You even get the update of current month in that order 99% of time, like for example are you playing Ubisoft game on some other android device or using Samsung one where they can even give u November update up to December last version. Samsung sometimes puts out surprisingly swift updates for a major company, sure, but ultimately if you care about getting your software in a timely matter and want Android, get yourself either a Pixel or - depending on how certain things go over the next few months with Samsung's upcoming devices-go back to Samsung.
One UI 6 brings a new font (which is nice and we do prefer over the old default), but otherwise it's immediately clear that this is still One UI. A refreshingly less offensive visual overhaul is in tow, and while no one will ever mistake this for another Android skin (or iOS), there's a very slight new breeze being blown throughout. On the hardware side, design has increasingly been iterative by Samsung in recent history, and we assume on both fronts so as ensure that users can identify a Galaxy S or Note when it is seen out in public.
And it has in that regard, no doubt - but whenever a strategy like this is executed there will always be conversation about what comes at the expense of those goals. The answer is, in this case at least, 'freshness' of design.One UI 6 doesn't somehow look 'stale', but at the same time isn't exciting or modern enough to elicit gasps of wonder from anyone. This is clearly a well-considered move on Samsung's part, and we would expect the company has given it due thought.
This is easy to recognise, however its important not to gripe too hard as Apple manages the same exact thing year on year (only with iOS looking much like it did a good couple of years ago now save for some minor tweaks here and there...). That makes it pretty plain who Samsung is looking to with this design, and the upside for software here - assuming we deal on a version of One UI 5 today just as near as exists alongside something like Galaxy Z Fold3 or S21 Ultra (or an older Tab) then moving up from that handset/tab/2008 Core2Duo laptop isn't expected to feel.&
Samsung S23 Conclusion:
The Galaxy S23 is a fine phone - the best at being smaller and more manageable as part of an element going extinct in Samsung's lineup. It's also of course the most easily held and maneuvered member of the S23 family, due to its size. It's not tiny, just smaller and-for those of you with dainty hands-that might suffice.
On top of all that, the Galaxy S23 is one hell of a steal right now; prices have dwindled quite nicely since its release - as it tends to occur with Samsung's flagships. While that is not ideal for people who paid the full RRP to buy one, it now opens up a buying chance if you like. It's Good And Inexpensive.
so what's not to like?
As it turns out, not much. There is so much to like about the S23 This is the brightest phone, by far, we have ever tested -- now one need not squint or subtly change their seating for optimal viewing in direct sunlight. A few short years ago that would have been the stuff of fiction, and yet here we are - with plenty more to come.
The performance is stellar, too - it's as smooth a Samsung phone as we've seen and comes super close to the OnePlus 9T that ranks no.2 in our list of phones with the best fluidity ever tested for TR long-term review (and just slightly below Xiaomi 12 Pro at number one). Therefore, the S23 sits in third place so far -- which is not only something of a personal best for any Samsung device that's been reviewed placement-wise here; it actually isn't all that bad at all.
The battery life has actually been fairly impressive, both on par for or better than just about any other phone but especially considering how small the screen is and that this phones charge capacity of only 2800mAh so given todays mainstream flagships all 3200-40000mah. We never got around to having a problem making it through an entire day without the random top-ups here and there for our use case.
Even without meaningless animations and transitions switched off, the in-display fingerprint sensor is easily one of the fastest we have ever encountered - as well as being about as accurate with it too. The speaker is good at full volume and fairly clear (for a mobile). The vibration motor here is about as good as it gets nowadays.
One UI 6 was a significant and well-marked bump to perceived smoothness in operation, and it also modernized the looks of the skin (including its default font). It remains heavily One UI-scented in terms of aesthetics, but evolved slightly to be more current. Our unit received the update just over a week after Google started sending its updates to Android 14, which makes Samsung still one of Google's fastest meal ticket partners (this time for major revisions)., not only among flagships. Dozens of devices were updated by the South Korean company over a couple weeks period, and its simply like no other OEM when it comes to pushing updates out.
One of the upsides for Nokia's phones running Android are that they typically do get their monthly security fixes every month, and in the same month which is more than can be said about some alternatives.
In our few days with One UI 6, we didn't come across any bugs and that's a good testimonial to Samsung's software quality control lately.
Now after all this well-deserved praise you probably are suspicious if there is a catch - could it be true that something has 0 side effects? A few odds and ends, well... Rear cameras while top notch are essentially carried over from the S22 which is a bit of an odd cut corner in a mobile industry that inherently sees camera hardware progression annually otherwise. Night Mode captures have improved marginally in speed, but there are no enhancements to software processing a la the S22. The selfie camera, for what it's worth, is new and one of the best on smartphones today.
Competition beats on charging too, and chargers are optional. If you are not one of the top 1% biggest users, second issue is solved thanks to great battery life. That might not be an issue for you if you're replacing a One UI part already, but for others the first time they turn on their new S23 may lead to it seeming just a bit overwhelming - there are millions of settings and configurations available in this OS, including some unusual choices about how things should work.
But in reality, these are minor annoyances compared to what would actually make the show bad. But if you are fine with that screen size and can live with not having the best of rear cameras, then by all means get yourself an S23, especially at these prices.
