Score Breakdown
Editorial
Wider then S22+, S23+ brings minimal improvments as we're beginning to expect from Samsung. The chip is updated, there is just 200mAh added to the lithium battery, the screen is slightly brighter (still below 400ppi) and there is a new 12MP dual pixel PDAF selfie. It is no wonder the + tier of S series always sells the least, it is a good phone but just "good enough".
