The design of the device of the Samsung Galaxy S23+
The device of the Galaxy S23+ is in terms of design, the whole body is the same design as the previous flagship Galaxy S22 Ultra without the camera module convex from the device like the previous model. Only the lens is convex. The camera will be placed in a straight line down. The matte back surface gives it a sleek look. with barely visible fingerprints (Fingerprints, if not tilted to reflect light, will not be visible.) For that color, the Galaxy S23+ will be available in 6 colors: Phantom Black, Cream, Green, Lavender, Graphite, Lime, which are Graphite and Lime colors. Special must be purchased through the website. samsung.com only
As for the display, the device comes with the same screen specification as its predecessor, Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 6.6 inches in size, Full-HD + resolution, with a refresh rate of 48Hz – 120Hz, but the difference is in this Galaxy S23+. There are new power management chip performance improvements. The screen consumes less power while maintaining the same quality. There’s also a new upgrade from Gorilla Glass Victus to the stronger Gorilla Glass Victus 2. making it more difficult to scratch as well For the front camera on the screen, it will be a punch-hole camera (Punch-hole). Next up, there will be a device speaker that, in addition to being a speaker for conversation, also acts as a pair of speakers.
At the edge of the machine is shiny aluminum, making dark fingerprints clearly visible. But what has changed from the previous model is the slightly curved edge of the device. Helps to hold the hand more comfortably than the previous model. (Previous model, when holding, will feel a little pain in the hand. because the edges are fairly sharp) which surrounds the device at the top, there is a microphone hole for noise cancellation All buttons are combined on the right side, both volume and power buttons. At the bottom there is a dual-slot SIM slot, a microphone hole for receiving audio, a USB Type-C port and a speaker.
The operating system of the Samsung Galaxy S23+
The Galaxy S23+’s operating system will be One UI 5.1, which is Android 13. Of course, the look hasn’t changed anything from the original One UI, but there will be additional features. And can be more customizable compared to the previous One UI, whether it’s a lock screen, notifications, system customization, and more, all of which can be customized through supported Good lock apps. In One UI 5.0, it greatly enhances the uniqueness of each Galaxy mobile phone.
General use and charging
for various applications The feeling of holding is better than the previous model in terms of the edge being less sharp. But there was still a slight pain. It’s still very tight when held (this can be solved by putting on a case), but with a size that fits in your hand and light weight, it makes it easier to hold with one hand compared to the Ultra model and with a large display screen. than the initial version, it allows you to see the screen more vividly I will say that it is a device that is known as the most suitable size that has it all. This makes social play time very streamlined. Can hold and play comfortably Plus, with a screen with a high refresh rate, it also helps the picture to flow smoothly. In terms of entertainment, it’s not bad. Because the device has a Widevine L1 level, allowing you to watch movies in full resolution (up to Full-HD), along with a pair of speakers that have been tuned by AKG, making the sound more enjoyable. (And the sound is also very loud)
As for the battery, the device comes with a 4,700 mAh battery, from which you can try to use it all day and say that it’s more than enough to use all day without charging. This also comes from the processor chip and screen that consume less power as well. Without heavy gaming or playing continuously for a long time There is no need to charge during the day at all. Or if the battery can be managed well, it may not need to be charged during the day at all. As for the charging speed, we start charging when the battery is completely exhausted (0%), in the first 10 minutes we get the battery up to 17% and up to 50% in 35 minutes. The total charging time from 0% – 100 % It takes a total of 90 minutes or 1 hour 30 minutes, which is considered quite long for a flagship-level device with a battery less than 5,000 mAh. which the system will reduce the power to preserve the battery for a long time
playing games
In terms of playing games, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 For Galaxy processor chip that has been enhanced from the normal model, increasing the processing efficiency. Helps to play heavy games Can be smoother than before, along with the Game Booster that Samsung puts in, helps to play games smoother and more consistently than previous models. In which we have tried whether it’s RoV, Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile and Need For Speed No Limit and say that no matter what game it is, it’s smooth. even if adjusted to the maximum But for the Genshin Impact game, even opening everything will not cause the game to stumble. But the problem of heating up very quickly is still the same. Which when playing to a certain point, the heat is so high that it can’t catch the device at all, but the advantage of the Galaxy S23 Series and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip is the cooling ability that can be said to be much faster than other models. Rest the machine for a while and then can pick it up and continue playing.
photography
In terms of cameras, the device has a triple camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera and a 10MP telephoto camera, while the front camera is 12MP. which is a Dual Pixel model with a Snapdragon Cognitive ISP image processing chip, making the image more beautiful than the previous model Whether it’s regarding light, color, back melting, shooting in low light. Including image processing when zooming at a distance as well Another thing that makes the camera of the Galaxy S23 Series superior to other flagships. So it’s also possible to record video at 8K 30fps (other models can only do 8K 24fps maximum) to say that this Galaxy S23+ in terms of outstanding cameras, both still images and video. But what was found when trying to use it is that when the camera is turned on continuously for a while without a break or the screen is turned off, the device will accumulate heat. even though it can cool down quickly But it’s not recommended to use it anyway. to preserve the machine for a long time

Samsung Galaxy S23+ review summary
Summarizing the review from having been used for a while, I must say that the Samsung Galaxy S23+ is a mid-sized flagship. That is extremely easy to carry, even if there is still a problem with heat that occurs as quickly as before but it cools much faster than the original model as well In addition, with a new specially upgraded processor chip, it also helps the device to be strong but saves a lot of battery. Makes it possible to use all day comfortably In addition, the camera that is available also takes beautiful pictures in all lighting conditions. Say that it is a device that is complete for every use. and is a device that is suitable for those who want a flagship-level mobile phone But I don’t want to carry a heavy device around.
