Comparing Samsung's Galaxy S23 with the old S22, with a hands-on review of the camera tech, specs and other features. A full unboxing and review of the Samsung Galaxy S23 is incoming but here's a run-through of the changes and upgrades. Spoiler alert: beyond the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, it's mostly the same hardware as the S22!
The camera sensors haven't changed up around back, with the Samsung S23 once again offering 50MP, 12MP and 10MP shooters - the latter being ultra-wide and telephoto lenses. However, compared with last year's smartphones, Samsung reckons the Galaxy S23 can take better low light snaps. And the selfie cam has been upgraded to a 12MP sensor, with improved HDR abilities. Check back for the full review to see how much of an impact the image processing updates have made!
The Samsung Galaxy S23 is another compact handset with a 6.1-inch display, but it packs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for beefy performance. Here's hoping the battery life is better too, with a slight capacity boost and that energy efficient Qualcomm chipset.
What's your thoughts ahead of my full unboxing? Pre-orders open now, and the UK release date is Feb 17. That price is £849 for 128GB, and £899 for the 256GB model.
