Every year Samsung updates its S lineup of phones, and this year we are expecting the S23 phones to land very soon. But for me, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus always seems to get forgotten.
I believe that there are considerably fewer sales for the Plus variant of Samsung S Plus phones, I always see the standard one or the Ultra around but never the Plus model.
Now this could be for a few reasons, the standard S23 size is pretty big anyway as it’s around the size of an iPhone 14 / 14 Pro, then the S23 Plus and S23 Ultra are fairly close in size with the Ultra coming out on top and with more features like the S-Pen.
So if you want the ultimate big Samsung phone you will naturally go for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. This is a similar situation to what Apple is finding this year with the iPhone 14 Plus.
All this means that the S23 Plus is largely forgotten about when reviews and articles are written, however, after holding our Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus dummy, it’s actually a great size in my opinion, and could be the phone you should get next.
The phone is just that little bit smaller than the iPhone 14 Pro Max which makes it a little bit easier to hold and yet the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus is a good amount bigger than the standard Samsung Galaxy S23 so is still better for watching content and other big-screen phone stuff.
So if you are someone that won’t use the S-Pen to its potential then the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus is a great alternative as it’s about 95% of what the Ultra will be, and going by the Samsung S22 prices, should be around £200 cheaper!
All this means that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus is a compelling choice when it comes to getting the latest Samsung phone.
