EDITORIAL: Vivo focuses on a âbattery-screen-camerasâ for itâs success, (Oppo) Realme is going for the âprocessor-battery-screenâ approach. I expected the top performance here but didnât see how amazing phoneâs battery could be. Not only does it last longer than competition, GT 7 Pro also charges 50% in just 12 minutes! Itâs 120W charging is also smarter this year with various options for preserving battery health. And the charger comes in the box to shows us whatâs possible on the battery front. The triple lens main camera produces good photos.

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".
PROs
flagship build, fast SD 8 Gen 2 with UFS 4.0 performance, >30hr endurance from a 4700mAh lithium battery with >60min 25W (15W wireless) charging, IP68 protection, reliable 50MP 24mm main + 10MP 70mm tele + 12MP 13mm ultrawide setup, excellent 12MP 26mm dual pixel PDAF selfie, very good video recording, up to 4 OS updates, desktop replacement functionality (DeX) and a great fast USB-C 3.2 port with video out and OTG
CONs
sub-flagship >1100 nits sub-400ppi Dynamic AMOLED screen with HDR10+, no more SD memory option, Samsung seems to be building a higher wall around it's ecosystem encouraging users to buy other Samsung products
