CargoJoe, 10 Feb 2023I don't think half the comment section knows what they... moreTotally agree. Other competitors have phones with relatively same specs with lower price tags. Though Samsung's flagships may have better screen and camera but still this does not justify the high price.

It is time for samsung to give the + version a QHD+ display and a 4k one for the ultra after all the buyer is paying 1000 and 1300 dollar respectively.

I wish they would actually copy iPhone with it's Pro and Pro Max models. S23+ should be scrapped and S23 be a 6.2" screen size that has all the bells and whistles of the Ultra ( minus the stylus), just at a smaller size.

after I read the most discussed comments are about battery, screen and camera that people need more.. not microSD, 3.5mm and the size of a phone that always appears everywhere.

Hmm, 10 Feb 2023Trying to understand the battery test. The s23+ did better ... moreExactly right, and the S23+ landed the same endurance score as the S20 FE 5G (both excellent), however the 23 has better endurance in each category.

DFranch, 10 Feb 2023What I don't get, the battery scores are higher than t... moreGSMArena's battery endurance ratings are always extremely confusing.
For example, the Exynos S21 Ultra has an endurance rating of 114 hours & the Poco F1 has an endurance rating of 94 hours. I've owned both phones and always got an SOT of about 4-5 hours with the S21 Ultra and 6-8 hours with the Poco F1.
GSMArena should scrap this confusing endurance rating system and just talk about the average SOT figures of each phone like they do in their long term reviews.

Trying to understand the battery test. The s23+ did better on all three tests, by a lot but the S21+ got a better time.. surely it can't be that skewed by standing by time?

What I don't get, the battery scores are higher than the S21+ in each category:
S21+:
3G talk Time: 31:01h
Web Browsing: 13:55h
Video: 18:55h
S23+:
3G talk Time: 34:53h
Web Browsing: 17:47h
Video: 19:44h
Yet, the the Endurance rating for the S21+ is 114h and the S23+ is 111h.

I don't think half the comment section knows what they're talking about.
Still for $1000 this isn't a good buy. It's like buying an iPhone 14 Plus. Not the best value device. Maybe if it's $700 or $750 it'll be worth the buy. The good thing about this device are that it has a true triple camera, a decent battery and it's better ergonomically for a 6.6 inch device. Since many of it's competitors are better valued with compromised specs it's seems like this device is the better option for a standard smartphone with flagship specs. But it's not worth the one grand.
