- Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus as well as the regular 6.1-inch smartphone, with a side-by-side vs of the camera tech, gaming performance test, battery size and other specs. I'll be reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S23 next but here's a closer look at that and the Plus, to see which phone is best for you!

The big difference between these two OneUI 5.1 mobiles is the battery (besides the obvious size shenanigans). I'm hoping for improved life on the Samsung S23 compared with the S22, but stay tuned for my final verdict to be sure.
Both Galaxy S23 smartphones are powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, but the Samsung S23 Plus seems to churn out better benchmark scores. There's only a small margin however and the regular blower can cope with gaming on Genshin Impact on higher graphics settings.
The camera hardware is also the same on the Galaxy S23 Plus and regular Samsung flagship. And while these aren't as good in low light vs the Ultra, they're still decent for everyday photography. Again, check back for the full Samsung Galaxy S23 review for more on that!

One UI 6.1 is now available for the Samsung Galaxy S23, adding in some of those fresh features slapped on the S24 series. Check out my S24, Plus & Ultra reviews for more on all that software shenanigans 😉
Just bought the regular s23 few days ago and I love it so far. Especially the size of it. I'm so tired of massive phones and TBF I wouldn't mind something even half an inch smaller. It's so comfortable to use
I also use it quite a lot including listening to podcasts and audiobooka for 7 hours a day. I've been up since 5am it's half 8 pm now and I have 41% battery left
Got regular S23 upgraded from S20 I'm a happy camper
Awesome! I ordered this as well coming from s22 ultra. Was so sick of giant phones and wearing out my pants pocket haha.
@@RedKryptonitelEl_ there really is no need for a giant phone. This size is perfect to use on the go and at home you can just use a tablet if you need something larger.
Had it for just over a week now and it's awesome
@Kris Fire don't say there's "no need" to each their own
I'm loving my S23+, fits in the hand nicely, excellent battery life, camera is good enough if you don't need zoom, and gaming is sooooo goooooood. God I hated Exynos on my S21!
Exynos have ruined the galaxy phones for far too long. But tbh the previous snapdragon chips were made on samsung shitty node too. Moving to TSMCs superior node was a big improvement in performance and energy efficiency.
What is your screen on time?
I'm currently using S20 Exynos and I feel you man. But I'm confused between S23 and S23+. Is 23+ too big in hands ? And is the battery good enough to last a day ?
@@nephilimssj It lasts whole day on 5G 🙂, with 5hrs SOT. Over Wi-Fi, SOT extends up to 8 hrs. 😄
@@enesturhan3435 so far I got 8 hours and 40 minutes with 12% left
Watching this on my new S23 which I got today...feels good man
Hey how is the battery holding up
@@joshdunham7167 Someone with a s23 said it last like 6 hours for normal use.
Thanks for this video! I agree so many 23 ultra videos out there, been looking for a video on the 23 & 23+. Thanks again from Kentucky 🇺🇸
Everything is perfect for Samsung this time except the prices....
Prices are perfect wym?
Ok boomer, this isn't 2010 anymore.
@Jisoooya THANK YOU
In a sense I agree but again it’s what it is
Here in India galaxy S23+ is cost 94,999 INR and you pay this amount for a 1080p screen and just 393 ppi....yes you are right that's not 2010 anymore....
Great review! Just bought S23 standard and waiting for it to get shipped. I always find it funny people mention how small 6.1" phone is but compared to my 5.8" S9 I think it'll be perfect.
Does it feel too small?
@@onkitkumardutta3719
Its too comfortable
Where do you get your mobile wallpapers from? They're always lovely
I've so glad your new phone and secure to samsung galaxy s23 series your devices right now!!
Great review. Could I ask where you got your mobile display stand from? 👍🇦🇺
I just ordered the plus, so excited. Thanks for this video!
This was a great video! Also, where do you get these wallpapers from?
Alphacoders
@@akashsaikia6438 Thank you!
Didn't know I needed this comparison. Apart from the S-Pen, I really don't see any other reason to get the Ultra.
I have the S23 and love it. I just wish Samsung would include charger, case, headphones, etc. Just watched a video on the Redmagic 8 pro.....6.8 screen, 120hz, 12gb/256gb, 6000 mAh battery, gen2 processor, headphone Jack, case, and 45 watt charger included......$650!! Come on Samsung, gives us our money's worth!
The redmagic 8 pro looks great, especially for gaming, but, i don't trust anything that comes from china.
Sir...
Which wallpaper is applied on G23...
Its looks good
Great review uncle spurt! I'm thinking of upgrading my exynos S21 to this S23 but it's kinda pricey so I might hold on to it till it drops a little 😅
Excellent comparison video.
Nice review i was planning to buy those phone😊 and where do you get those cute anime wallpaper?
Where do you find you wallpapers, is it a App or some particular site?
Hey uncle Spurt, I'm torn between the regular S23 and the Zenfone 9. Is the battery life good enough from the S22 to compare it to the Zenfone 9?
Can't believe that with all the improvements Samsung still can't take sharp action shots. For the price this shouldn't be an issue. Looking forward to the full reviews.

Did buy the Samsung Galaxy phones before, but miss the extras of the Samsung mid range features: 3.5mm audio jack, & FM radio, micro SD card. Then discovered the Infra Red controller offered by other brands, so Samsung no longer.
Nice review Mr. Ten Hag
Sir, may i ask where you get those anime wallpapers? Like a specific app providing them? I think it's really cool, cute and fancy looking 🐱
My current phone is 6.4 inches and although I really want the S23 standard, after having a 6.4in screen for over 2 years I feel the standard would feel too small, so I've decided to opt out for + version, even though I'm a little worried it might feel too big! Overall everything I'm hearing about this series is amazing.
I've got a 6.4 also. What's the plus version feel like? Much of a jump in size or she'll be right?
@@RA-yc9fb so I got myself the S23+ and honestly I love it. It doesn't feel too much larger than my 6.4! Sometimes when I'm one handing I can feel a little stretch in my fingers but it's not uncomfortable. I don't think I'll ever go larger than this, but it does great. It fits in my cup holder, pants pocket, and purse comfortably.
I traded my z flip 4 for the s23 and it crushes it in every way, battery life is great 👍, have gotten over 7 hours of sot , very snappy, display is beautiful and cameras are much improved, got used to the size difference quicker than I anticipated, definitely recommend the S23 if you want something compact and powerful!
Dumb move
@@icomefromoogaboogaland dumb comment, thanks 👍
Good choice
What was wrong with the z flip?
I did the same. Agree.
I fell in love with the Samsung S 23 + 💕💕💕
Great video. One question, is this s23 plus ideal for Uber eat delivery? I mean will this work really well on map, etc?
I think the camera housing makes it look more like a mid-ranger than a flagship.
The S23 with 128GB has slower storage.
Considering an upgrade from my s21
It's 2 years old and performs just fine. But I will get a 350$ trade in towards the 23+
Just wanting a newer model
Worth it?
I thought you would show us battery usage in setting for both phone
I've just up(down?)graded from the S22 Ultra to the 256gb S23. My god this is the perfect phone. Battery life is excellent. Manageable size. No rubbish curved screen. Cameras are great. I've finally found the absolutely perfect phone. That Ultra is just so ridiculously huge. Never again.
I purchased the base s23 256gb also, and yes, the s23 is a perfect size for those of us who want a phone - not something that resembles a tablet lol. I would have maybe even shelled out the extra coin if they provided a smaller ultra model similar to apple's 14 pro at the 6.1 inch display size. That's one thing apple has going for them - the pro features on both the larger and smaller models.
I moved from S21 U to Base s23 256 too, Finally a small-ish phone with no compromise
@@MegaDringus what is your screen on time?
@@enesturhan3435 I got a little over 6 hours, but it could push further depending on what apps you’re using, brightness, refresh rate etc.
how much storage on your 22U?
Where did you get that cell phone stand from?
thank you I'm not sure if I should do the s24+ I was just about to buy then I came up on your reviews I could save quite a bit now with new s23 that are still available
Base s23 here. Samsung absolutely nailed it this year. Just got 9 hours sot using 120hz n light mode. Zero complaints...
@@KoalaBeer. Reddit, Snapchat, twitter and TH-cam.
does it feel too small?
@@onkitkumardutta3719 not at all. 6.1 is perfect but the plus option is available if you want a bigger option.
@@ChadH2023 i like compact phone and s23 is just within my budget. But I was just worried about if the phone is too small to use for a long time.... Thanks for replying 😊
Im listening and I dont believe it.. My s23 makes barely 4h SOT.... Really dont understand whats happening.
Thank you so so much for the video! Could you please let me know if the galaxy S23 has dual sim slot for sure in the UK? If it has a slot for two physical nano sims, can I use a nano sd card in the slot to expand the storage? Thanks so much in advance! 😊
storage is not expandable sadly!
So the s23 & s23+ exactly the same apart from the screen size and battery. I have got the 14 pro max so should I go for the 23 or 23+
Ohh damn that suzuno wallpaper😍😍😍😍
I'm about to get the S23 tomorrow. My A71 is messed up after just over 2 years. It's stuck in Airplane mode and now after taking it into the Verizone store to swap sims, the sim no longer connects to the phone. So instead of getting it fixed and doing without a phone for however long, I'm just gonna get a new one. I'm choosing the S23 based purely on size. It's the smallest S model in several years.
I'm totally over the large phone era, after having this A71 for 2 years to really test the waters. They just feel bad in my hands. I'm glad to see that the regular S23 is damn near the same size as the S7, my previous phone before the A71.
Real good video i love the design of these 2 ✌️ 🤟 🙂 👍.
As mich as I love Samsung dropping the quality of that beloved oled screen had me feeling a type of way. Its been over 6months since I switched from my s20 to the s22+, and the difference is still irreconcilable for me. I used to be in awe of the quality of the display everytime I used it. After over 10yrs, my next phone might not be Samsung.😔
Where do you get those wallpapers in your videos
Standard S23 for me, with 256gb and black / green.
can you make a site with all of your wallpapers that are on your videos?
Nice!. I now wonder whether S23 vs Zenfone 9 is a fair comparison or not.
How can i get this wallpaper
From where you get these wallpapers 🥺
Although the phone has lot of features, it uses pwm flicker display that can causes eye strain in many people.
Love the vids
Need advice. S23 or Vivo X80 Pro? Thanks ❤️
This guy is by far the best reviewer because he don't talk about a bunch of bullshit he gets straight to the point and that's what I like that's why this is my go-to reviewer
Amazing unboxing and video comprising as always bro
How do you get those wallpaper?
Where do you find the wallpaper
Is your s23 128gb, is the difference in performance the faster storage?
Yup, the 256gb on the s23 would benchmark the same as the plus
I had bought a S22+ just 3 months ago, but I wasn't too happy with the battery life. Due to the offer Samsung had for the new S23+ and using their return campaign, I basically bought the new S23+ and just had to pay 30€ more than what I had paid for the S22+. Battery life is great in the S23+. With my usage, the first full charge lastet almost 4 days. With the S22+, battery would go from 100% to 75%-80% just overnight. Really happy with the S23+ so far.
30£ for upgrade? and at no further cost?
@@NicolasKeven I'm 99.9% sure he's financing to own the device. Samsung has a "Galaxy Forever plan" similar to Apple where if you're making payments on the phone you can upgrade to the latest device out for a charge of $25-30 USD.
@@Young_Dab hm, considering 1 year of use, 30€ is not something that should weigh a lot
@@NicolasKeven No, I'm not financing. I have an additional discount on Samsung's website (bcs I'm part of an association in the country I live in) and since they paid me 520€ for my S22+, overall, the upgrade just cost me about 30€. There was also an additional discount during the pre-sale, where they paid an extra 100€ if you'd use their return campaign.
U had to disable all bloatware via usb debugging on pc ,i did same on s21 plus and my battery drainage per night only -2%
How about the display and eye protection?
Personally I picked the regular 23 way more comfortable
Always premium videos 👍
I only get the ultra for the status but i too miss smaller/slimmer devices.
Your hands will get tired from the ultra
I've been an Android guy from day 1 but not specifically into Samsung. Now I am sold and I have bought the S23+ with 512GB. (promotion gave me double the storage for the same price). Loving it! Samsung made an iPhone with Android - if there is such a thing. RAM could have been a little bit more than 8GB in my opinion escpecially if you're planning on having the phone for 2-3-4 years.
Same thoughts. I also bought as well. The only mistake was buying s23. I thought I'll be more comfortable with s23 regular, but was wrong. S23 plus is the best for my hand feel. I'll just wait for the next phone and trade in for the plus model.
How is the battery life?
@@SuperKiko112 About 6-7 hours screentime. A day use. I use normal performance profile but the phone still runs damn fast.
Hey i got an s23 plus used for like 4 days and its like 100 dollors less than newer one should i cop it?
My s23 plus should arrive any minute now and here I am watching all the unboxing and reviews about it...
Same!
So how is it so far?battery life?
@@SuperKiko112 based on my phone usage a full charge will last me about 1d 11hrs. 4hrs SOT (tiktok,reddit,ig) and full day listening on spotify.
I've already made my choice - green S23😀 After more than 2 weeks I must say that it's a great phone!
does it feel too small?
Thank you for this. While the S23 Ultra is no doubt a fine device, most of us have neither the photography skills of Ansel Adams nor the bank account of Jeff Bezos to justify the cost. The S23 Plus definitely has my attention when it comes time to upgrade from my S20 FE. These old eyes need the larger screen, so the regular S23 is out of the running.
BTW, just bought and started reading one of your books, Twin Towers Estate, The Riot Trilogy, Books 1-3. Really enjoying it! Would make a great TV series in the right hands.
Wait a minute tech spurt has written books?
I agree. I'm going for the S23 because I am tired of big phones.
I love my ultra but its not the most convenient device for my commute. I had to buy a new parka jacket just so It wouldn't have to go in my satchel & miss Imporant calls
And the worst thing is when you drop it on your nose 😳
@@koreyb I also agree.... I'd go for the s23 if i had money😂
@@CDPA7 Yes, that's the biggest problem I have with the Ultra. It is just too big, especially when the weather warms up and I want to be able to just fit it into my pocket, when I'm not wearing a jacket.
Where can i find your wallpapers
So it supports dual physical sims?
where can I get this awesome wallpaper?
Man if they can get that S23 anywhere close in battery life to the iphone 13 (same size, smaller battery) that would be a real game changer. Hope the 8 gen2 delivers as promised and samsung doesnt mess up the software
Some battery tests shown that the s23 is pretty much on par with the iphone 13 and 14 (iphone 14 might be better sometimes but thats by 10-20 minutes)
I absolutely love my S23+ it looks so good, nice and sleek.
Is the front camera good on the Samsung s23 plus?
whether to switch from s8+ to s23 the screen difference will be noticeably smaller? is it better on s23+???
I prefer the compact size of S23, but the battery life of S23+ is its real plus.
Plus the faster changing speeds too. Why wouldn't Samsung give the smaller one the same changing speeds make no sense to me
@@Jthall1990 True 25W on a 800$ phone in 2023 is a fking joke, these days even 200$ budget phones come with +30W charging speeds.
What they honestly should've or should do is bring the 45W charger of the Plus and the Ultra to the base model and make a new +60W to the bigger flagships
Waiting for your s23+ review and i've already bought it 😶
How is faceunlock compared to iphone? remember s22 used to lag on facial recognition.
What about the ultra Sonic finger print scanner after installing tempered glass ??
I am using amglass screen protectors on our two S23s and they work perfect! Very thin and installed perfectly with the applicator and pin like ups. On Amazon, 2 for $9!
Where do you get your anime wallpapers?
Pinterest , maybe ....
Where can I get the wallpapers
Next time I upgrade I may go for the Plus version instead of the Ultra one. I'll miss the curved screen but I find the Ultra models too heavy.
Curved screens are gay
The S23 is allmost a worthy small phone chanmpion... But i do hold the Zenfone 9 abit higher on the list.. It's been an insane daily driver :)
And it has headphone jack
@@boukimagash2083 yes, for those who likes that. :)
Great video! I just want the 100X zoom,is it worth get the ultra just for that?
max zoom here is 30x. i have the s22+ with same cameras and anything over 10x isnt really usable
@@secret1dentity thanks.
Hi Chris, finally the review I've been waiting for.
Please help. I am at the end of my 6-years long journey with my beloved Oneplus 5 and urgently pick one of those: OnePlus11 or S23+ (regardless of their prices)
Please advice. Thanks a million.
S23 + is way better than the OnePlus 11. U can watch some comparison videos here on TH-cam in order to understand the differences.
I was in a similar position as you last week. I was also a loyal oneplus customer looking to upgrade, and I picked the S23+.
In terms of Hardware and price the Oneplus slightly edges out the Samsung phone (except for wireless charging), but the reason I chose Samsung is because oneplus has become really unreliable over the last few years for their software and support, and there's no way to know how it's going be going forward.
Both perfectly good options and imo much of a muchness. Pick the one that's best value for money with the amount of storage you need.
@@DarthSidious7 that’s totally been my thinking that I don’t know how reliable Oneplus is going to be in the future I’ve had the 1+6,9+7 pro but I ended up getting a Samsung S 23 because you know Samsung is going to have to do software updates and security patches in the coming years but one plus they’ve been all over the board even though they made a great phone with a 1+11. I wonder about future updates.
@@DarthSidious7 Thanks for your comment. How is full hd res on S23+'s big screen? I worry it wouldn't be crisp enough. Are you able to tell it is less crisp or is it not detectable at all?
I got the s23 plus very early because I preordered it and I love it so far, I got the green colour it's so clean and one UI is decent 👌
Is the front camera good on the s23 plus?
@@Houdiniremakes yes 4k 60
Anyone know where this guy gets his wallpaper?
Is the s23 too small for those who have big hand?
just upgraded from the S10+ to the S23+! what a difference, love everything about it!
I'm currently using a S10.... Which I've been very pleased with, but I don't know what to upgrade to 🤔
@@rustandoil if you have the funds go big or go home in my opinion.
Battery life?
@@SuperKiko112 s10+ has 4100 mAh and s23+ has 4700 mAh capacity. so its only like a 600 mAh difference. obviously still have to charge it but i notice i last longer in gaming sessions compared to my old s10+
@@sprinklybagel7721 Thanks for the reply
@Tech Spurt, regarding the bench marks, was the standard S23 the 128GB? If so it's using the slower UFS 3.1, UFS 4 isn't available on the standard till the 256GB storage option.
I had expected the camera performance to be much better than that, what happened!😳 Nice review by the way, thanx 👍!
Phones can't stop being expensive it seems 🙃
Yeah well u don't have to buy their flagship, buy their midrange or budget option
The problem is choosing the model. S23 seems to small and the s23+ to big. Would love to see an 6.3 inches
💯 Exactly
Heard samsung wont have any + model. There will be S24 and S24U. So i assume they will make the S24 6.1 or 6.2. They are working to cram a 4800 mah battery in the S24.
You just point at the best part .yes wish it would be around 6.3 or 6.4
This comment is on point.
I'd Samsung A50s before the S23, it was 6.4, this is 6.1, if this would've been the same, so battery could've been even better.
Need the wallpaper!
Got the S23 myself, lovely green colour. Upgraded from S21 so was a decent upgrade for me. Love the size of the phone.
How about battery life?
@@jersondl4961 AMAZING
i felt the s23 was smaller than my s21 so i returned mine and decided to get the plus
@jaijay25 how do you feel about the size of the 23+ now that you've had it for a couple of months??
@Nikko Arnado I couldn't have made a better decision it's just a little bigger but also just right for my small hands, which i was worried about, and now I'm use this screen size and don't think i can go back to a smaller screen.
Wallpaper app?
Refresh rate on S23 Plus is from 24hz to 120hz! Not 48hz! Enable Developer Option and you have the a toggle to show /hide refresh rate on screen! You will se there that the lowest refresh rate for S23 Plus is 24hz!
How is the boulies chair?
I think the comparisons should be done after the phones have been loaded upto brim with apps or games so that they can compare the speed tests
Agreed.
I have the download, install, and download more disease. I need each app for something but later can't really remember why.
You guys think I should get the OnePlus 11 or the Samsung 23 plus
What's this wallpaper called
Hey thanks for looking at these two regular phones and not the mini tablet that’s called the ultra which tape if you want to gigantic phone with all the bills and features that’s the phone for you but some of us don’t wanna carry that in our pockets, so hey thanks for looking at these
I just got the s23 plus for $799 on amazon on sale last week. I also got $70 a month no interest financing. I got a poetic case. Im loving the phone its so fast and the camera is great.
Can you imagine if you got more education, better job and earn more money.. Just imagine..
@@andriandri732That's unbelievably rude thing to say. Have some decency.
How to get tha wallpaper?
Uncle Spurt, would you rather buy the regular s23 or the pixel 6 pro or pixel 7 pro? The 6 pro can do 85% of what the 7 pro can. I can buy a refurbished 6 pro for about $400 in America. Is the s23 worth it do you think?
I have used pixel 7 pro and currently using Samsung s23 hands down Samsung s23 is better , snapdragon 8 gen 2 is really good.The screen is fantastic,One UI is extremely customisable and has dex as well plus rn they are giving 256gb model for the price of 128gb along with some bank offers it's really good deal, pixel 7 pro doesn't hold a candle against this, it might be worth to you if you absolutely want stock Android and some AI features but IMO they are really not that important.
I have the Pixel 7 Pro. It's been ok. A little buggy at times. Screen even went black twice. Should I get the S23 or the plus?
@@vincentd8506 I would recommend wait for the S24.
pixel 6 and 7 pro are kinda underspecced in the performance department compared to s23.
if you want cameras then go pixel. but pixel soc is terrible
would u pick S23 or Asus 8?
