Our verdict

The Samsung Galaxy S23+ earns 86/100 because its strongest qualities are genuinely useful rather than cosmetic. Few features stand out against newer phones, charging is slow by current standards, and long-term support is shorter than the S24 generation.

Buying advice

Buy the Samsung Galaxy S23+ if you are among users who want a large Samsung flagship experience without Ultra size or price. Compare current local pricing carefully, because older flagships and newer mid-rangers can overlap heavily in 2026.
