Samsung’s tiny, high-end flagship smartphone is called the Samsung Galaxy S23. The phone is constructed of metal and glass and has a design that is strikingly similar to that of its predecessor. Although the design hasn’t altered much, its small form factor allows for simple one-handed use.
The phone features a flat screen, 6.1-inch Super AMOLED display. A customized Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU, which provides more than enough power for daily work and even gaming, powers the smartphone.
One would anticipate excellent camera performance from a high-end flagship. Regarding the phone’s video recording quality, the same can be said. Moreover, the phone can record 8K video at 30 frames per second.
