We have compared the three models face to face: the Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra, with the aim of trying to determine which of the three is the most sensible purchase. This year certain distances are shortened in the standard models compared to the Ultra, although the latter’s 200-megapixel camera is its great asset. What will be the winning model?

This generation we find ourselves before the same formula: the Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23+ are the same phone in a different format, and the S23 Ultra has little to do with them. The Samsung Galaxy S23+ and S23 have the same design, the same camera, and their main difference is size (given by the screen) and battery capacity. For the rest, it is the same phone, designed so that we can choose between one and the other due to the size.
