Samsung Galaxy S23 display
The Galaxy S23 boasts a Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity-O FHD+ display on its 6.1-inch screen. Its adaptive refresh rate means the screen reacts to what you’re doing - scrolling is now much smoother when you’re gaming or watching YouTube videos. You can turn the adaptive refresh rate off if you’d prefer, but you may notice the change when you’re scrolling and browsing.
Advanced Vision Booster is a nifty new feature that adjusts your screen to create better colour representation in different lighting conditions.
Samsung Galaxy S23 camera
The Samsung Galaxy S23’s rear camera set-up is comprised of:
- 50MP main lens
- 12MP ultrawide lens
- 10MP 3x telephoto lens
This impressive selection delivers sharp, detailed images packed full of colour. Despite the main lens clocking in at 50MP, it defaults to 12MP images. You can, of course, switch it back to 50MP for even more detail, but bear in mind it's a bit slower on this setting.
For all the lowlight photo enthusiasts out there, Samsung has improved Nightography, so those after-dark images are clearer than ever.
Selfies are covered by a 12MP front camera but it’s being referred to as a Super HDR selfie camera. So it’s time to start posing for even better portraits.
