Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus 8 GB / 512 GB / Global / SM-S916B technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus suits anyone seeking a balanced premium phone with a very bright display, high-end hardware, and a flexible camera setup. Its main trade-off is the 4,700 mAh battery, which has less capacity than most phones of its time.
The 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display reaches 1,750 nits, putting its peak brightness among the best of its time. Its 89% screen-to-body ratio is better than most, while 120 Hz, HDR10+, and Always-On Display add useful features. The 7.6 mm body has IP68 protection. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 place the hardware among the best of its time. This configuration combines 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage; the phone is also sold as 8 GB / 512 GB.
The rear camera pairs a 50 MP sensor with optical image stabilization and a 3x telephoto zoom that is among the best of its time. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, 5G, eSIM, UWB, and USB 3.2. Its 15 W wireless charging is also among the best, although the battery capacity is worse than most.
The overall NeoScore is 8.1. This is a particularly strong choice for display brightness, performance, connectivity, and optical zoom, provided a less generous battery capacity is acceptable.
