The Galaxy S23 is smaller than the S23+ (6.2 by 3.0 by 0.3 inches, 6.9 ounces) and the Pixel 7 (6.1 by 2.9 by 0.3 inches, 6.9 ounces), but it’s about the same size as the base iPhone 14. (5.8 by 2.8 by 0.3 inches, 6.07 ounces). It is bigger and heavier than the OnePlus 11 5G. (6.4 by 2.9 by 0.3 inches, 7.2 ounces).
Even though the S23 is smaller than its siblings, it has the same high-end design and build quality as them. It has Gorilla Glass Victus 2 panels on the front and back, and the space in between is protected by Samsung’s Armor Aluminum chassis. It has an IP68 rating, which means it can be submerged for up to 30 minutes in water up to five feet deep.

Where to get SAMSUNG Galaxy S23 smartphone?
The S23 is a smaller version of the S23+ in terms of design. In fact, the only difference between the phones’ looks is their size. The S23 Ultra, on the other hand, is a whole different animal. It has a more angular design and a place for a S Pen. You can choose from Phantom Black, Cream, Graphite, Green, Lavender, or Lime. The Graphite and Lime options are only available on Samsung.com, but you should be able to find the others at most stores.
We really like how the back has a matte finish that doesn’t show fingerprints or feel slippery. The camera module looks good, too. Each camera has its own lens, whereas on older models, the whole stack stuck out. In comparison, the camera bar on the Pixel 7 looks like it is trying too hard.
On the right side of the phone, there is a volume rocker and an on/off button. The top and left sides of the phone are empty. On the bottom of the phone is a SIM card slot, a USB-C port, and one of the two speakers. The other speaker is at the very top, where the glass and metal frame meet.
