Compact powerhouse with a good camera

  • Compact and comfortable to hold
  • Battery lasts a day
  • Sharp photos, even in low light
  • Full charging takes over an hour

The Samsung Galaxy S23 is a compact and fast smartphone. The battery lasts a day with my use, but the charging speed is disappointing.

Compact device
Unlike many other top-class smartphones, the Samsung S23 is compact. This makes it easy to operate the device with one hand. Plus, it fits easily in my pocket. The screen of the S23 is completely flat, just like the edges of the device. The Samsung S23 therefore fits comfortably in the hand.

One day battery life
I am very pleased with the battery life of the S23. With my use, the device easily lasts a day. During such a day I use whatsapp a lot and regularly check my social media. I also listen to a lot of music and podcasts and occasionally watch a movie. The predecessors of the S23 regularly did not make it to the end of the day. Samsung has really taken a step forward in terms of battery life with the S23.

Charging speed is disappointing
Fully charging the Samsung S23 takes over an hour. That's twice as long as many other top-end smartphones I've tested. I miss the fast charging speed, especially when I want to quickly charge the S23 before I leave the house. If I charge my smartphone in the evening, the charging time does not bother me.

Beautiful photos, even in low light
In terms of cameras, the S23 delivers the quality I've come to expect from Samsung. I take razor-sharp and clear photos both during the day and at night. There is a night mode on all lenses. So it doesn't matter whether I take photos and videos at night with the standard, wide-angle or telephoto lens. The camera app itself recognizes situations with low light and then automatically switches to night mode. As a result, I don't have to look for the night mode first and I quickly shoot the picture I want.

Lightning-fast smartphone
The Samsung S23 is lightning fast. I also use the most demanding apps and 3D games without any problems. Apps start quickly and I quickly switch between different screens. So I have nothing to complain about the speed of this device.

I jumped from the S9 to the S23. Big step with a huge difference!
