Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy S23 8 GB / 128 GB / Latin America / SM-S911E technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy S23 suits buyers looking for a compact high-end phone with a light body and a strong display. It weighs 168 g, measures 7.6 mm thick, and resists dust and water with IP68. Its 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display reaches 1750 nits. The 425 ppi density and 86.8% usable surface are better than most phones of its time, while the 120 Hz refresh rate is typical.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 8 GB of RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage make a capable hardware package. Its AnTuTu score of 1,752,375 is among the highest of its time. Connectivity is also among the best, with 5G, Wi-Fi 7, eSIM, NFC, USB 3.2, and several SIM configurations. The camera setup is a strength: the 50MP main camera has optical image stabilization, while the telephoto camera provides 3x optical zoom, among the best of its time.
The main trade-off is the 3900 mAh battery, among the weakest of its time. Wireless charging at 15 W is among the best, however. This version has 8 GB / 128 GB, while the Galaxy S23 is also sold with 256 GB and 512 GB. With a NeoScore of 7.8, the Galaxy S23 is among the best phones of its time and is especially suited to buyers who prioritize a compact design, display, and cameras.
