Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus comes with similar features as in its smaller variant but in a more expensive package. It has the same look and build with an Armor Aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and back. It also carries an IP68 rating, which means it can survive in water up to 5ft deep for up to 30 minutes.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus features an impressive 50MP camera along with a 10MP telephoto with 3x Optical Zoom and a 12MP Ultrawide lens with a 120˚ Field of View. The overall photography is truly exceptional, but a little lesser than its higher variant, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It offers strong performance and is an excellent device for gaming lovers.
In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus is an excellent smartphone in top-tier competition. However, it’s not distinct enough and compromises on super-premium features to keep costs reasonable. This approach may leave it a little behind market leaders like the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
