Samsung Galaxy S23 vs. S22: Spec-by-Spec Comparison of the Flagship Phones

The Samsung Galaxy S23 has lots of new features, but the Galaxy S22 is still no slouch.

This story is part of Samsung Event, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Samsung’s most popular products.

The $800 ( 849, AU$1,349) Samsung Galaxy S23 made its debut Wednesday as part of the company’s Unpacked event, but Samsung is also keeping last year’s Galaxy S22 around with a $100 price drop. That 2022 phone now costs $700, and it still has excellent specs like a 50-megapixel main camera. It’s been updated to Android 13 and last year’s speedy Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Moreover, the Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S22 have nearly identical designs, including a 6.1-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

However, there are a number of improvements with the Galaxy S23 that are definitely worth considering when weighing if you should spend an extra $100 for the newer phone. While we haven’t yet had the chance to review the Galaxy S23, the phone is shipping with a slightly bigger battery than the Galaxy S22. This could be quite meaningful, as CNET’s Lisa Eadicicco found battery life to be a weak point in her Galaxy S22 review. The phone also includes a «Galaxy-optimized» version of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. Though we don’t know how big of a difference that optimization will make, it seems to be at least faster than last year’s chip.

If you want a quick look at the differences between the Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S22, we put the specs for each into the below chart. Other notable differences include the front-facing camera — 12-megapixel on the S23 vs. 10-megapixel on the S22 — and video capture settings.
