Here, we focus on the flagship smartphones and we start with the base Samsung Galaxy S23.

Samsung Galaxy S23

Measuring 146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6 mm in dimension and weighing 168g, the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S23 comes with a Gorilla Glass Victus 2 display of 6.1 inches. With a dynamic AMOLED screen that supports 120Hz refresh rate and an always-on feature, the display offers a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels.

The rear camera can record 8K at 24/30fps while the best the selfie cam can do is 4K at 30/60fps, which are impressive specs.

Samsung ditched the bump that characterised the vanilla Galaxy S22 and feature upgrades in the chip, camera and battery department as it packs a 3,900 mAh battery into the Galaxy S23.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus

Stylised as Samsung Galaxy S23+, this 196g device also uses the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 display but measures up to 6.6 inches. It features similar screen specs as the base model above and runs on the same chip.

However, it does not have a model offering the lesser 128GB/8GB RAM storage specs as it starts from 256GB/8GB RAM and ends at 512GB/8GB RAM. The two devices have similar rear and front camera setup as well.

In fact, what really differentiates the Samsung Galaxy S23+ from the ordinary Samsung Galaxy S23 is the bigger screen it comes with and battery, which is a 4,700mAh bank of power.

Apart from using similar display materials, its screen is the biggest among the series, measuring 6.8 inches in height. Also, its resolution is higher offering 1440 x 3088 pixels. Alsom it is the only one that comes with the S Pen.

Also, it differs in its storage capacity with different models offering 256GB/8GB RAM, 256GB/12GB RAM, 512GB/12GB RAM, and 1TB/12GB RAM.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra uses a quad camera setup instead of the triple we saw in the previous two flagships. Its lead camera is a 200MP wide shooter and it is supported by a 10MP periscope telephoto lens, a 10MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultrawide sensor.

Although, its rear camera is still also only capable of shooting 8K at 24/30fps while the 12MP selfie cam can shoot 4K at 30/60fps, just like the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Samsung Galaxy S23+.
