Samsung generally announces a number of different models which all sit within its 'S' line. Right now, alongside the flagship Samsung S23 Ultra, we have the S23 and the S23+. These are mid-range devices that offer some excellent photographic specifications but at a cheaper price. That said, with prices starting from £849, they still sit above Samsung's wide range of budget and cheap devices.
In terms of the camera, the S23 Ultra differs in a number of ways from the S23 and the S23+, which both share the same photographic set-up, but have different screen sizes.
Features
For the camera, we have a triple-lens set-up, including standard (wide), ultra-wide and telephoto cameras. The 50MP main camera offers a 24mm equivalent angle of view and has an f/1.8 aperture. It is joined by a 12MP 13mm equivalent ultrawide, and a 10MP 3x telephoto lens (70mm equivalent).
As is increasingly common, even in mid-range phones, 8K video is available in 30fps, with 4K up to 60fps and Full HD up to 60fps also available, and likely to be used more commonly.
Other useful features of note include the 3900mAh battery, storage capacity of up to 512GB and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. A charger is not included in the box - just a cable.
Design and handling
Utilising a 6.1in screen, the S23 is a much better bet for those who would prefer a smaller-sized smartphone, especially when compared to the S23 Ultra at 6.8in. If you do prefer a larger device, then the S23+ comes in at 6.6in, perhaps making it a good compromise.
Whether you have smaller hands or just prefer how much easier a smaller device slips into your pocket, having the choice between the two different sizes is welcome - it's just a shame you don't get the same choice when it comes to Samsung's flagship.
