This is my S23 Plus Review 3 months later. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus is a great upgrade over the S22 Plus in many ways that are both impressive and surprising, especially in the battery, performance, and power department. The S23 Plus fixed most of hte issues I had with the S22+, minus if costing $999. I think that the S23 Plus is a better priced at $799-850, but for $999, it can be worthwhile if you're interested in the phone or get a good deal.

I have a ENCASED and a very good screen protector on my S22+ and very soon will have a S23+ for my girlfriend's new upgrade and the same kind of case and screen protector will also be used for my environment ENCASED or Otterbox Defender cases work best for my needs!
I Just got my S23 plus yesterday. I came from the iPhone and I think this screen is way better. The phone in general feels way more sturdy. The adaptive touch with the Vibrating makes for a great tactile button feel.
The amount of customization that this phone allois apple is absolutely amazing. The sidebar feature which quite honestly is one of my favorite features of the phone, It's ingenious and intuitive to use. I feel like the screen is large but not excessive. For somebody who has hands that are generally considered to be on the larger, this phone feels really good in my hands and is nice to hold my fingers Don't cramp up holding this phone like they did with the iphone. I enjoy the fact this phone has a nice weight to it.
Its a great phone and i love my s23 plus. But i think apple buildquality is probably a touch better. I have both brands. Dont have a 15 pro yet tho
I originally got the S23 Ultra but i got so tired of the square corners and curved screen. I sold it and got the S23+ last week. No regrets!! The size is perfect and the battery is amazing. I get about 7-8 hours of screen time a day on it.. half of that is watching youtube and the battery isnt even lower than 20-30% at the end of my day.
How do find it? Coz I sold my ultra too now I’m thinking wheather I should get the s23 or the s23 plus? Is there any majored difference in terms if the night shot on s23 ultra and s23 plus? Beside the telephoto lens that allows u to zoom better is there any other major difference in terms of the picture quality ? And which one do u think looks better ?
Did the same, the plus is the better phone in my opinion. Ultra has great features like 100x zoom and the s pen. But other than that the plus is alot more comfy to use.
@@dennis-br6vr lol I did the same too, theres just so much about the ultra that's unnecessary. Like I never touched the s-pen and the 100x zoom... I call stalker zoom, because there's no real world purpose for it except maybe zooming in to see what your neighbor is doing lol. The plus is such a great option this year and aside from not having an s-pen, it feels a lot like how the note had the note and the note ultra models.
@@hobbitpsi but the camera on the plus n s22 plus is the same ?
I absolutely love mine, but after hearing everyone's experience I'm a little upset about my battery performance. I get 6 hours at most
Just upgraded from A52 to S23+. I got the best ever deal at T Mobile. Free phone, just paid for the tax, $99.00. I have the 55+ plan (I'm 77! Can't believe it!). So.....I added a line for $20.00 to make my bill $88.00. I'm giving my A52 to my niece. Yaay!
The phone you are holding in your hands has everything that the iPhone 14 PRO MAX has to offer or better except (video recording and it isn't bad on s23+, resolution but s23+ screen is sharp enough so the average person wouldn't be able to notice the difference, slightly better speakers ). On the other hand s23+ has better battery, better screen overall(better screen to body ratio), better photos for me, better design for me, much more features ,a fingerprint reader, cheaper price, more compact and feels good in the hands and most importantly better gaming performance for a long period. I know iPhone 14 pro max has better Cinabench score but at that level and being that close does it even matter. I'm just sick of seeing people go for Apple just because they are the most popular. if you just look at the two phones subjectively no one would pick the dynamic island trash. It takes too much of the screen. They have been taking advantage of people because they know no matter what trash they throw at them they will buy it as it is called iPhone. BTW iPhone 10,11,12,13,14 all have almost the same design. Where is the creativity of the so called the best phone manufacturer?
I've been waiting for Samsung to come out with a model that would make me want to upgrade & they've done it with the s23+. The current trade in offer and double the memory at no extra cost was too good to pass up. At just under $200 I've got a phone that I'm super excited about. Hopefully I'll still feel the same after using it for awhile, but right now, I am really happy with my purchase.
i love my s23 plus!
great chip, super camera, nice display...
overall everything is very good on this phone..
Glad to hear you're enjoying it!
I have the s23 plus as well. It's my favorite Samsung phone I've ever had. It's the perfect size, amazing battery life and the cameras are absolutely amazing.
I'm coming from a flip 4, which I loved, but I'm happy to be back with the s series.
Do u think it looks better than the ultra ?
@@brucelin5842 I like the way the ultra looks better.
@@TechOdyssey but don’t u think it’s too boxy ?and also it’s the same boring design since note 10 that’s almost 4 years ago…actually since note 8 they look all the same with boxy corners …and curve screens is really annoying…..
Best "all rounder" for Android in a long time. You're absolutely right the chip made all the difference. The only thing i can say is not great is the fingerprint sensor. It's slow. The last android that i owned that was great bang for buck was my S20fe.
I have agree with the fingerprint sensor it's faster on my S22 than my S23+ and the speakers seem lower on my S23+
I traded a Pixel 6 in for mine and expected the fingerprint scanner to be far faster on the S23. Surprisingly enough (especially after all fuss about the slow scanner on the Pixel) the scanner is actually slower on my new phone
I had the s23 ultra and sold it and now I have the s23+. This phone is great! There was so much with the s23 ultra, while it was amazing, I just didn't need a lot of it. The s23+ is the perfect size and feel. Love how it's a rounded boxy design and the flat screen reminds me a whole lot of how and iphone's screen is and I love the iphone's screen. Now I've only had the phone for 2 days and it's still doing the learning usage patterns, but damn the battery life is great. Took it off the charger this morning and at this time which is 2am my battery is at 69%. The camera's aren't the 200mp but come on, there's no need for those MP unless you're planning on blowing up a picture into a poster. It doesn't have the 100x stalker mode zoom, but again, that's not needed and the 30x zoom is pretty good. I'm usually not satisfied with my phone because on day 1 I always find something that bugs the hell out of me, but this phone is actually doing real well for me.
how is it so far?
@@gashi6134 It's great. finally found a screen protector that works with the fingerprint scanner (Mowei) and got a pitaka case. Camera is great, battery life is amazing, and size is just right, not too small but not ridiculously big like the ultra. If only they made an ultra in this phone's size and kept the flat screen, it'd be perfect.
is cell signal good ?
@@malgspremium That depends on your service provider. I get great signal with ATT, but got bad signal with T-mobile.
@@hobbitpsiholy shit where i live i get 5 bars 5 g everywhere with tmobile
I got a great trade in deals for my Pixel 6, and couldn't be happier with it. When you compare the massive difference in trade in deals with the OnePlus the difference isn't that big at all, plus it's the first Galaxy 'S' that's had a Snapdragon chip in the UK so that sealed it for me😊😊
Very cool. Glad you got a good deal.
@@TechnologyMan9575 yeah, I've not had a Samsung since the S8+, mainly because of them feeding us a second rate chip at top prices
Got mine on a promotion with my carrier. Best android phone I’ve had so far and battery life is miles ahead of my s20fe
Nice. Glda to hear it's been working out well for you and you're happy with the phone.
Really thanks was going to get this year's pixel but my phone is braking and need a new one now, so do appreciate your positive opinion 👍
I got the Ultra because of all the hype. New 200 megapixel sensor etc.
But its just so big my hands get tired of holding it. Its wide and boxy. I purchased an S23+ today 🥹 i am still keeping the ultra.
Is the ultra worth it?
@@Lets_go_to_Italy yes
The battery life is the best out of the 3 it gives me an hour more than my ultra and the ultra gives me 30 minutes more than the base s23 having all 3 devices I'd say the plus is the best
How do you afford all 3 devices 😂
@Xander it's not funny and I'm a psychologist so that's how
@@avnertouitou3778 I agree.
The S23+ has th3 better battery life of the 3.
Just got this phone on Amazon for $799 black friday deal. Too good to pass up. I'll use this phone for 4+ years.
Samsung's pricing has been bonkers for a while. I remember buying the S7 Edge off contract from Verizon because I was grandfathered in and couldn't take advantage of contract subsidies. $829 for 128/4GB 😂.
Correct, you can thank Apple for making the $1000 price tag commonplace.
Regarding the banana blur on the S23 & S23+ & some of the S23 Ultras.
I have the S23+ & have to send it in for a fix. It's a hardware issue, lens issue & software updates will not fix this.
Just curious if you have heard anything about a camera module fix?
TY! 🙂
at least the S23 plus had a chance with the Fan Edition out of the picture, once the S23 FE comes out say goodbye to the A54 and the S23, many people couldn't buy the latter because of the ridiculous pricing
I'm curious to see if we get the FE back. They've historically been good phones.
@@TechOdyssey according to sammobile, it will be available in the fourth quarter of this year (launching date like the S20 FE that was a success) equipped with a Exynos 2200 and presumably a Snapdragon Gen 8+ 1 (different of the S22 series: SD Gen 8 1) in different markets. The best, a 50 mp camera, a very nice upgrade coming from a S21 FE. I'm very curious of the design and colours!
I'm a new android user , Im using a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE as a testing device to see how I adjust to android.
I'm interested in the S23 FE
@@Compulsive-Elk7103 coming from a S20 FE that should be a very interesting upgrade, good luck and hoping to see the new device in upcoming months, fingers crossed about the processor
So enjoy your reviews. Ive just gotten an S23 ultra....but trouble trying to get a suitable screen protector. Greetings from Northern Ireland, UK XX but with trade in on an old phone and a private sale of main phone....ill pay £599 for it
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy my videos. I have a link in the description for a great screen protector option!
Your only option would be getting the hydrogel screen protector i guess.
My girlfriend and i are watching this on my S22+ and we are getting ready to trade in her S20 fan edition for the S23+ so the good news she will be getting a very good device !
Hey man great video i currently have a s9 and note 9 and i just love the display on the phone i been eligible for a upgrade and was thinking bout getting s23 plus for free and is the display better than than what i have kind of on the fence about what you think
Yeah Samsung really got me this year with the S23+ in the summer. Loved that phone so much ended up getting a Tab S9+ on Black Friday with a bunch of goodies to make it a laptop. Very satisfied overall with Samsung products this year. I felt they made strides to make the plus platform feel a little more light ultra like
I like my S23 Plus, don't get me wrong. But the phone screen is prone to micro scratches from nowhere. You will need a screen protector as soon as you can. Otherwise, you will see a lot of scratches out of nowhere
yeah im pissed about the 23 "Note", I wanted the 1hz screen and better cameras but its so dam big! the s23+ is the perfect size I don't want even 0.1" more...
Tho I like the design! Picked it up today, got the purple one, but waiting for my screen protector and case before I start using my new precious
@TechOdyssey for the same money (brand new) would you buy oneplus 11 16/256gb or s23+ 8/256gb? And why? Thank you
OnePlus 11. Curved edge display, I like the cameras better, faster charging, comes with charger, like the design better, QHD+, Macro Mode, I like the design better and easier to use one handed.
@@TechOdysseybro you feel the cameras on oneplus 11 are better than the s23+? I am so confused most of the reviewers say s23 & the plus shine better than one plus 11 in terms of camera? Please help
2 questions... 1. Does the phone come with a thin screen protector pre-installed from the factory? 2. Can I change the refresh rate to a locked 60hz in settings (to save battery life)? Thank you.
No it doesn't. Yes you can.
@@TechOdyssey thanks for the reply 👍
The pre order got me free Samsung care+ ,free memory upgrade, and $250 online cash to spend on Samsung products so they gave a good deal on the pre order registration
Ordered this last week on a good deal with Google FI for $549, no trade in. Coming from a Pixel 6 Pro. Keeping the Pixel as a backup phone because the trade-in value is not worth it to me. I almost went with the Ultra but the trade-offs you discussed are not as important to me. The last Samsung device I owned was the Note 2 waaay back in the day! lol! I'm looking forward to it!
Wow... welcome back to Sammy. A LOT has changed! I hope you enjoy the phone.
@@TechOdyssey I think it will be a great experience. I jumped on nexus and pixel bandwagons because of software support, if you remember them Samsung sucked at updates, now they are out doing Google! I was also really into rooting and romming but with how good phones are now I don't need to do any of that anymore. I will miss certain things for sure such as the call screening but we will see!
@@coolpoete what is call screening ? What u think of Google pixel ?
God ... living in Belgium, i can only marvel at the deals people can often get in the us. Crap is so expensive here
Here in belgium, the s23 plus 128 gb will be about 1100 usd.
Hello , i am from india. We have a biggest sale around the corner . In this sale s23 plus is going to be in 60000 rupees further discounted by bank creditcard of 4000 and get an exchange value of 15000 (iphone XR)which intotal cost me roughly around 41000 which is equivalent to 512 US $ . Is it worth buying at this point ? Please suggest
My regular S23 (256 GB) is amazing, lasts 2-3 days without charging. Thankful for the sexy updates too
I love my s23 plus perfect phone. Great battery life and camera is awesome
i wanna buy s23+ it's fast?
Yes it is @@roberto79676
how the screen ppi ?Is it noticeable in use?
It's solid.. Even as a QHD+ snob I pretty much never notice.
It isn't
Trust me when I tell you, TPU screen protectors blow glass screen protectors away. They dont crack and they offer just as much protection and i work in a rock quarry.
Hello! Is it possible you elaborate yourself a little bit more? I'm curious about what you said 🙂
@@CarlosHerasme glass screen protectors crack all the time. TPU does not. They offer the same protection as glass but they dont crack. Plus finger print scanners work better with TPU.
Can I use my original samsung 25 watt charger also ?
Just got plus for a upgrade for misses.. I've used the plus lime forever since s8plus...went ultra21 I'm fold 4 now
I still prefer the S, S+ and Note branding that Samsung used to have. The "Ultra" branding is just a stupid name. They should copy Apple and have the $800 S have the lower rez screen and less features. And have 2 flagships with the S+ and Note. I would LOVE to see 1440p back in the S+!
How much is s23 plus now
Ithink i would love this phone but i have my s20 fe and still getting 6 hours of screen on time. im waiting for a s23 fe (if it comes out)to see if the s23 or s23+ price drops😂
The rumors on the S23 so far point to an Exynos chip which is a bad idea. Have to wait and see.
Any heating with the ultra or the plus ?
Not that I've noticed
When gaming, it could range from 36-42c max depending on what you are playing.
Anyone who owns s23 or s23 plus noticing blur in the main camera ??? Is the issue real !!
More and more users are bringing up a blur issue
@TechOdyssey do you have any input on this?
I traded an old S3 for the S23+.
That's fantastic!
Omg im doing the same thing!!! High five🎉
@@jeanievong7287 I'm glad it was still in the junk drawer.
Great video as usual 😊
Thanks a lot. Glad you enjoyed it.
Do you think that the batteries are better on Samsung phones are better than google phones?
it took you 7 min to get to what's most important features geezuz as for the 24 series they are saying (7) years guaranteed update upgrades which is damn amazing
You wasted 10 seconds of my life with this comment.
Do you think i should get the s23+ or the s23fe? I'm have a s9+ btw. The 23+ would cost me 750 and the s23fe would cost 550 (both in the 256GB options).
If only you had been shopping for phones a week ago when the FE was $399... can you wait until they go on sale again? I imagine that as we get closer to christmas that there will be a sale again.
I can wait. But do you think there will be a bigger price drop after the 17th, because the 17th is when their winter sale ends, and I don't want to have to pay $690 for the 256GB version.
I used s23 for one month amazing performance and decent battery(ıf u are not a heavy user).after I watched this video i bought s23+ and I m very happy so far.ıf u dont mind s23 is small go for it ır buy this❤
what about the resolution?
I have an S21 Ultra with 550ppi and the S23+ only has 393ppi. Can you notice a difference? How would you rate the display?
Doesn't the resolution bother you?
I dont mind the lower resolution. I dont see it. I also come from S21 Ultra. I didnt mind 1080p on that s21u phone either. I switched all the time just to test. Lower resolution feels good. I dont see it but know its good for battery
The screen of the S23+ is shorter so u won't notice it
No service provider actually gives you the phone for free. They make up most or all the phone price in their “unlimited” plan costs. It is a ruse that most people fall for. Just do the math.
Worked out well for me buying my s9+ unlocked early 2019. Still kicking but I'm doing my homework to see if I will want the 23+ or newer
Honestly different phone, but the 23u is a huge upgrade over the 22u. So many creators are saying its not worth the upgrade. I disagree with whoever says it. Yes the phone looks the same. But most put cases on them. The inside is what matters to me ci don't care If it looks like a waffle. Performance is key and 23u has it all imo.
What Samsung should do is have a nice camera border (Not sure what's it called) for those 3 lenses like the Sony xperia 1 V. I think the Sony has the best camera aesthetic setup. All 3 lenses looks like a single unit. Same with the Pixel phones.
Great video. One question, is this s23 plus ideal for Uber eat delivery? I mean will this work really well on map, etc?
I had gotten the s23 Ultra from Google for $80 bucks cash after mu trade in. This s23 plus, someone traded me this device and $200 for a new 14 plus. So it was pretty good. I use the s23 plus for making invoices and watching my streaming shows. I'm currently using my SE 22, ZFOLD4, pixel 7, and my s23 plus. The s23 plus feels good on the hand. It has a better grip than the s23 Ultra, for me.
So do u think I should get the s23 instead on the ultra ? Or even the pixel ?
How the hell do you use so many phones at once? lol.
I would go with one plus 11 instead
Great phone
I bought an s23 plus last month was working perfectly until it jus went black no matter what I try its not coming on
Sad that on a $1000 phone that has a 1080 screen instead of 1440. As the previous Splus phones phones with 1440.
This is the best phone on 23s series
Idk if the s22+ necessarily have a bad battery life when my s22 last from 7 in the morning to 5 on the evening so idk what people are doing that it drains the phone so much
My S22 would last from 9am to 2pm.
Yep picked mine up from at@t coming from s21 the 23+ better phone bigger screen and trade in was 1000
Nice 3 months review
Thank you.
Hey Adam S23 for $720 or s21 ultra for $415 which would be the better buy?
Id base it on the size ur most comfortable with both are amazing phones that has years left of support keeping them top of their game.also on Amazon I seen the S21U for 398.00 in mint condition
I wish they had a pro version of the s23. I just got an s23 but my previous phone was a note 9. A dinosaur I know. But it WAS QUAD H. I love the smaller form factor of the s23 but I want QHD not just 1080p...yeah they need to make a pro version of the s23 or a ultra but in a smaller size. I never really used the pen anyway.
Which one would you chose: Samsung S22 ultra or Samsung S23 plus? In my country there are almost at the same price. I know that the 8gen2 is much better than the 8gen1. But I usually don't play games.
And on S22 ultra the screen and the cameras seem to be better . Battery is maybe better on 23 plus.
Tough decision...
Nice phone. Would have been even better with a curved screen.
Cue in the S23 FE 😅
If it comes with an exynos chip, no. Not at all.
I want to use this phone for long term like more than 5 years.
Can I go for this phone?
Yes
I'm still using an S8 as my primary phone, had it 5 years.

Starting in two days!
Biggest problem with the S23 plus is the fact that the Oneplus 11 exists at $699
Yup. Very much so.
If you've got a phone to trade in you get a much better price from Samsung which brings them a lot closer together in price
@@parshakamarsh well you could just sell your old phone anyway so how does that matter? Also samsung is notorious for giving low trade in value, most likely better off selling it yourself
S23 or S23+?
That's a quesiton for you, not me. They're identical except size, mostly. Do you want a 6.6" screen or a 6.1" screen?
@@TechOdyssey In that case it has to be S23 👍
@@GermanWhip-3900Except size AND battery life and hot management.
Best phone ever
Ok blinky ...I'm out after less than 2 minutes
Flat display is better
SORRY, I HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR
I hate the flat back and flatter frame. I think it's the wrong direction for their design language.
It's nearly the exact same design for years...
@@TechOdyssey Since the S21s, sure, but those phones had curved edges on the back glass and rounded frame rails. The S22s had flat backs and barely any curvature to the frame. I prefer the more curved and rounded phones.
🤣
Wait until the Moto Edge 2023 arrives in 2 weeks. Itll put the S23 Plus to shame. Guranteed. Samsung is so overrated esp the S23 Ultra. The display is mediocre. Agree with a few other comments, its washed out and the colors are muted. Plus has a horrible blue hue when tilting the phone. Edge Plus 2023 with a 165 hz refresh rate, no bezels from a endless edge quad curved screen. Motorola makes the best phones in my opinion minus the cameras which are the worst. Will you be doing a review on the Motorola Thinkphone and the Moto Edge Plus 2023?
Lol. The Moto will not put it to shame. Have you actually used an S23 phone? The screen is definitely not washed out. As far as reviewing them, likely not. I've reached out to them multiple times requesting both and they don't even return my emails.
@@TechOdyssey yea I had the S23Ultra but I had to return it because of the PWM. But I do think Motorola displays are punchier then Samsungs even though their made by Samsung. But after using a 144hz refresh rate, cant ever go back to a 60 or 120. I can tell the difference in scrolling. If I was Motorola Id send you both of them to review them. Dont make sense why they wouldnt.
@@butlerfan8012 the PWM is definitely better on Moto. Thats for sure. The 144hz is also nice but I didn't notice really going back to 120hz. Maybe versus 90hz. The Edge phones are good but start out priced way too high. Thankfully they dropped the price this year. $999 last year hurt them. It was $499 by the end of the year and an amazing deal. With Motorola, who knows. When dealing with PR people, 80% of the time you don't get a response when you reach out. And usually the answer is "sorry. No review units". Extremely rare to get anyone to send me anything, sadly.
@@TechOdyssey Yea agree Motorola way overprices their phones when they first come out. Then drop em like 50% few months later. It begs question whats logic they are so high in first place. The 2022 Edge Plus at $999 was insane. $499 is a good price for it. It feels like sorta their shifting emphasis away from budget phones, putting dimensity SOCs and downgrades in them now, and for the first time being more aggressive putting great specs in a flagship.
This guy is so negative and complains too much.
What are you even talking about? I spent over half the video saying it's a fantastic phone.
@@TechOdyssey now you're complaining over my comment.

Good on you for being fair and not kissing these manufacturers ass to get more sample units
