The Samsung Galaxy S23, released in early 2023, is a compact flagship known for its powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, great performance, compact size, durable build (Gorilla Glass Victus 2, IP68), and solid camera system (50MP main, 3x telephoto) with improved battery life over its predecessor, making it a well-regarded, capable, and still-relevant choice, especially as a refurbished model, despite being succeeded by the S24 series and featuring recycled hardware from the S22.
