Samsung Galaxy S23 5G (128GB, Black) AU - Pristine review
The Samsung Galaxy S23 didn't really need to change a bunch of stuff compared to its predecessor to remain a stellar little phone. Little being the operative word: this is a small flagship with big successes, including a better battery than the last-generation model, and a neat design that's...- Great small-scale Android option, Battery capacity increase, Updated design language
- Battery life less than Plus & Ultra models, No true camera upgrades like in the Ultra, Not hugely different to Galaxy S22

Samsung generally announces a number of different models which all sit within its “S” line. The Samsung Galaxy S24 is its latest flagship device that will surely make its way to the top of the list among the best smartphones for photographers , just like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra did.

The most mainstream Galaxy stays small while stepping up performance- Premium styling with beautiful build quality, Epic performance and great battery life, Some of the best mainstream smartphone cameras

Samsung Galaxy S23 5G (128GB, Black) AU - Pristine review
Despite these issues, there are reasons to like the S23. I’ll be honest and say I didn’t expect I’d like the S23 all that much going in. On paper, it looked like Samsung had applied the most modest of updates, with the bulk of it being the chip, and really not much else.- Great size, Solid design, Excellent performance, Surprisingly decent battery life, One of the last small phones (maybe), Water resistance
- Last year's camera (and not the amazing 200 megapixel of the Ultra, either, or even the 108 megapixel of the older Ultra), Minimal reason to upgrade
Samsung Galaxy S23 review: Small and mighty
The Samsung Galaxy S23 isn’t earth-shatteringly innovative, but it’s still one of the best Android phones on the market right now. It’s stylish, snappy, and perfectly pint-sized, with a spectacular camera and performance to match.- Compact size and clean design, Beautiful display, Speedy performance, Excellent cameras
- $100 more expensive than its predecessor, Only an iterative update on the S22, Only 25W wired charging
Samsung Galaxy S23 review: Small wonder
The biggest highlight of the Galaxy S23 is its size and the power it packs within it. The Galaxy S23 is undoubtedly the most powerful Android phone in its size. If you are looking for a powerful phone that has an impressive display, solid performance, a versatile camera setup along with a capable...- Impressive display, Compact and lightweight, Powerful performance
- 25W fast charging

- Slower charging than S23+ and S23 Ultra, No ultra-wideband (UWB) support
Samsung Galaxy S23 5G (128GB, Black) AU - Pristine review
Not a lot has changed from the S22 to the S23, but with the most recent model, Samsung has - yet again - delivered what is the best all-round compact flagship phone.- Slim and portable design, Bright and vivid display, Super skinny, uniform bezels, Decent battery performance for its size
- One UI software is full of bloat, Camera results are a bit hyperreal, Not much change from S22
