Samsung Galaxy S23 series: First impressions

02/03/23 • 31 min

Samsung Galaxy S23 series — comprising the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ and the Galaxy S23 Ultra — were launched by the South Korean conglomerate on Wednesday. These smartphones are the successors to the company's Galaxy S22 lineup.

Gadgets 360 senior reviewer Sheldon Pinto and reviews editor Roydon Cerejo join Orbital host Pranav Hegde to discuss Pinto's first impressions of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series after he tried out the handsets earlier this week.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra brings some notable upgrades over its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. But should you consider upgrading to the new vanilla Galaxy S23 or Galaxy S23 Plus from an older S22 phone?

Should you wait for other smartphones with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset to debut, or should you pick a phone with the custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC that launched on the Galaxy S23 series? We discuss this and more on this week's episode of Orbital.
