Ranked by what users actually praise
Battery life is the standout improvement over previous Galaxy models. Numerous users coming from the S21, S22, and even older models report the S23's battery is dramatically better, often lasting a full day or more with moderate use. Some cite specific figures like 1.5 to 2 days of battery backup, and features like 85% charge limiting and vapor chamber cooling are called out as smart longevity tools. This turnaround is repeatedly framed as fixing the S22's biggest flaw.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip is considered a major win for performance and longevity. Commenters, especially in Europe, praise getting Snapdragon over Exynos, contrasting it favorably against the S24's regional chip downgrade. Users report the chip still feels fast years later, with smooth performance under One UI updates and no aging issues. Many explicitly bought or kept the S23 specifically to avoid Exynos-equipped successors, viewing it as a smarter long-term purchase.
Its compact size makes it a rare and desirable option among modern flagships. Many users explicitly sought out a smaller phone and found the S23's 6.1-inch size to be the perfect fit, especially for one-handed use. Several compared it favorably to the Plus and Ultra models, noting the larger versions felt unnecessary or too big. This compact form factor combined with strong specs is repeatedly called a rare combination in current flagship phones.
