Is it worth upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S23?
There are no sweeping changes with the S23, and major improvements are few and far between. There’s a few tweaks that some may value, such as the selfie camera’s 12MP wider field of view or the flush back glass.
Most notable is the bigger battery and an upgraded chipset for better performance. However, for many, the differences would barely register.
The bottom line is the S23 is an enhanced version of the S22 phone, so if your Samsung Galaxy S22 is still going strong, the best option may be to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S24 series.
