Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

There's a lot to love about the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus: its flat screen is more practical to use than the curved one of the S23 Ultra; the battery life is really impressive for this generation; and there's all the brightness, power and software ease-of-use you could wish for.

Lovely flat-screen design and distinct camera arrangement, Smooth software performance, Solid battery life

It's really expensive, especially considering Pixel 7 Pro, No longer the camera champ, look at Xiaomi 13 Pro, The S23 Ultra is the all-in option

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus ticks a lot of boxes. It has a good, big screen; versatile camera and long battery life. This might not be the most exciting phone of 2023, but it’s a reliable device to have by your side.

Perfect size, Long battery life, Years of software updates, You want a complete, no-nonsense Android phone: The S23 Plus might not excel in one clear area, but it’s very well-designed and performs excellently.

Takes an age to charge, Camera is good, but struggles to standout at this price, A sharper resolution would have been nice, You’ve got a little extra to spend: With the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra offering a much better experience overall, if you can pay the extra then we’d advise you do.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus bundles its smaller sibling’s impressive design, performance and camera credentials into a larger but more expensive package. As such, it may prove an attractive proposition for Galaxy newcomers in the market for a big-screen all-rounder, but anyone with the means to make...

A handsome new look, Bespoke Snapdragon chipset, More base storage than predecessor

Not distinct enough, Deserved a 108MP sensor

A modest upgrade for the middle child Galaxy phone

Flagship-grade performance, with battery life to match, Very capable cameras in all conditions, Feels every bit like a premium phone

Poor value for money, No major improvement to cameras, Design feels very familiar

The Galaxy S23 Plus is a bigger phone, with a smaller price tag.

The best display on a smartphone, Up to 45W charging, wired, Impressive performance thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, Great battery life, Simple camera design, Stunning design overall

The edges are quite sharp, Standby battery life is not good, Optical Zoom is limited to 3x, Not competitively priced

“The Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus isn't the S23 model everyone should buy. But for the right person, it's pretty tough to beat.”

Comfortable, practical design, Beautiful AMOLED display, Outstanding performance, Storage starts at 256GB, Two-day battery life, 45W wired charging

Bland camera design, Only 3x optical zoom, Awkward price
