Our take on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Unlocked Android Smartphone
The Galaxy S23 is Samsung's 2023 compact flagship: a 6.1-inch AMOLED phone with a 120Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip, 50MP main camera and a 3,900mAh battery. It stands out for its small size and light weight while keeping flagship speed, a bright display and solid low-light photos. It suits people who want a pocketable Android phone with long software support rather than a big-screen device. Against the Galaxy S24 it gives up some AI features and a slightly larger battery, but it remains fast and is a strong step up from the S22 on battery life and thermals.

What reviewers say

Questions and answers
- Is the Galaxy S23 still worth buying?
- Yes, if you want a compact flagship. It is fast, has a good screen and cameras, and Samsung supports it with updates for years. Newer models add AI features and slightly better battery, but the S23 remains capable.
- How does it compare with the Galaxy S22?
- The S23 has a newer, more efficient chip, better battery life and improved low-light photos. It runs cooler under load. The design and screen size are close.
- How long does the battery last?
- Most owners get through a full day of moderate use. Heavy gaming or camera use drains the 3,900mAh battery faster, so a top-up during the day may be needed.
- Does it come with a charger?
- No. The box contains the phone and a USB-C cable. You need a separate USB-C PD charger, and 25W is the fastest wired speed it supports.
- Is it unlocked and does it work with any carrier?
- The unlocked model works with major US carriers and supports 5G. Check that your carrier's bands are supported before buying.
- Does it have a microSD slot or headphone jack?
- No. Storage is fixed and there is no microSD expansion or 3.5mm headphone jack, so choose your storage capacity with that in mind.
