The base model Galaxy S23 with 128GB of storage is back down to a record low of $700 at Amazon and Best Buy. It’s dropped a while back to this price, which is a full $100 off the list price after the 13 percent discount. The deal also applies to all four colours, so you can choose between Cream, Green, Lavender or Phantom Black. The larger 512GB size is also $100 off, making that configuration $760 after the 12 percent discount. If you play a lot of games or take a lot of pictures, you might want to go that route. The sale also applies to the larger Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra, which are discounted by $150 and $225, respectively.
The Galaxy S23 sports a 6.1-inch screen with an extra-bright, full-HD display and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The three cameras at the back include a 50MP wide-angle, a 10MP telephoto, and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. The front-facing selfie camera captures 12MP. It uses the latest generation octa-core Snapdragon 8 processor and has a battery that can handle up to 22 hours of video playback.
You get a bigger 6.6-inch screen with a bigger battery in the S23+, which Samsung says can last up to 27 hours. We clocked 25 hours in our detailed tests but that’s still an impressive life for a smartphone – and even beats out the S23 Ultra. Our deputy editor Cherlyn Low also called out the vibrant display and speedy performance from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip in her review, ultimately saying that it “ranks as one of the best Android phones out there.” The S23+ is currently down to $850 for the 256GB size and $970 in the 512GB capacity.
As for the S23 Ultra, we named it one of the best Android smartphones in our guide and one of the best smartphones overall. Usually $1,200, the 256GB model is currently $975 after 19 percent off on Amazon or Best Buy. The model with the 512GB storage capacity is $1,155, or $225 down from the list price. The Ultra received a review score of 89 from our senior review writer Sam Rutherford. They touted great performance, long battery life, and overall fast performance. But what really stood out was the S23 Ultra’s photographic capabilities. Sam has no doubt that a 200MP camera can potentially “film Hollywood-grade movies,” but to get the most out of impressive cameras and software, you really need to know what you’re getting. are doing.
