The The Galaxy S23 series is the first in years not to launch with an Exynos variant, as all three models of the phones are sold in all regions with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, albeit a special variant.
the Galaxy S22 Ultra for the rear cameras of the Galaxy S23, allowing for design parity across the series, even if in a more boring avatar.
The Galaxy S23 Has A Brighter Screen
The Galaxy S23 has a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity-O display with an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. While these are the same specs as the display of the Galaxy S22, the Galaxy S23 display is brighter. The display has a peak brightness of 1750 nits, a major improvement over the Galaxy S22's 1300 nits. The Galaxy S23 also features a more powerful processor with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 of the Galaxy S22.
The Galaxy S23, like the Galaxy S22, has an Armor Aluminum frame, but the new flagship swaps Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus+ for the new Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The new glass has improved drop resistance, so the Galaxy S23 should have better durability than its predecessor. Like the Galaxy S22, the Galaxy S23 is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance. The Galaxy S23 is also slightly taller and slimmer than the S22, but a touch heavier.
There is still just 8GB of RAM, while storage options are limited to 128GB and 256GB without for storage expansion. The Galaxy S23 keeps the 50MP (main) + 10MP (telephoto) + 12MP (ultrawide) camera configuration of the Galaxy S22, but there are upgrades to its photo and video recording capabilities, like the ability to record in 8K at 30fps. There is still no headphone jack, but there are stereo speakers. On the bright side, Samsung has bumped the battery capacity from 3,700mAh on the Galaxy S22 to 3,900mAh Galaxy S23, but its fast wired charging speed remains limited to 25W.
The brighter display, more powerful chipset, improved cameras, stronger build, and larger battery capacity are significant improvements compared to the Galaxy S22. And Samsung has managed to keep the starting price, of $799, the same as well. The new features may not be enough to justify an upgrade if you bought the Galaxy S22 last year, but the Galaxy S23 definitely brings plenty to the table.
