This is a similar situation to what Apple is finding this year with the iPhone 14 Plus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s actually a great size in my opinion, and could be the phone you should get next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-11.35.34-am-copy-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus\" class=\"wp-image-78849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-11.35.34-am-copy-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-11.35.34-am-copy-500x312.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-11.35.34-am-copy-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-11.35.34-am-copy-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-11.35.34-am-copy-2048x1280.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you are someone that won&#8217;t use the S-Pen to its potential then the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus is a great alternative as it&#8217;s about 95% of what the Ultra will be, and going by the Samsung S22 prices, should be around \u00a3200 cheaper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this means that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus is a compelling choice when it comes to getting the latest Samsung phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan on getting the S23 Plus, make sure you check out these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/galaxy-s23-plus\/cases\">Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus cases<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/galaxy-s23-plus\/screen-protectors\">Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus screen protectors<\/a>, to protect your device from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch our first look and impressions of the S23 lineup on our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/mobilefun\">YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='730' height='441' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aZRS8BQc7cY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.27.4 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad1\" id=\"quads-ad1\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px 0 0px 0;text-align:center;\">\n<div id=\"bari-widget\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year Samsung updates its S lineup of phones, and this year we are expecting the S23 phones to land very soon.
