Samsung Galaxy S23 is the upcoming flagship of the company that has been creating a huge hype these days. This smartphone is already covered halfway, as going to launch expectedly earlier next year. Certainly the first high-end device of the year 2023. Since we have received a lot of leaks and rumours about this device. Although, its direct competitor is the iPhone 14 which makes its presence in the market. Going through its review which is pretty much positive. Still, there’s much more room for improvisation. And hence it indicates that there’s also space for the Samsung Galaxy S23, which fills the gap of becoming the best phone out there.
Galaxy S23 3C listing
However, out of various rumours churning out all sorts of specifications around the Galaxy S22 successor. Now, a 3C listing of Galaxy S23 has been appearing which reveals its fast charging details. The 3C listing appeared on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo (via RealMiCentral). As per the listing, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will offer at least 25W fast charging support. Notably, the charger used by Samsung has model number EP-TA800.
Apart from all scattering rumours of Galaxy S23 so far, the majority of them focus on the top-end Galaxy S23 Ultra. But here in this article, we tend to put our focus on Galaxy S23 as its direct competitor of the iPhone 14, which is likely to be more susceptible.
Segments: The Galaxy S23 could beat the iPhone 14
Camera
Now, if talking about the camera then this is the department where Galaxy S23 already have built-in advantages over the iPhone 14, even if sticks to the camera setup similar to the Galaxy S22. Out of which, a dedicated telephoto lens would definitely give you a true optical zoom once again. The S22 features a 3x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom. Hence, it’s already way ahead as compared to the measly 5x digital zoom on the iPhone 14.
As per info revealed by GalaxyClub that the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus will use a 10MP telephoto camera similar to the S22 and S22 plus. whereas an upgrade could see in the front camera from 10MP to 12MP, which would match the iPhone 14 series.
Also as per the tipped by IceUniverse recently, the camera sensor size of Galaxy S23 is 1/1.3 inches along with 200 million pixels. While comparing it with the newly launched iPhone 14 Pro is consistent and the iPhone 14 Pro’s main camera is 48 million pixels. Whereas the size is 1/1.3 inch respectively.
While it’s worth noting that the S22 series is capable of capturing great low-light shots, credit goes to Samsung’s Nightography advancements. Whereas, in some places, it even looks better than iPhone 14 now. Thus S23 could build on this strength.
Display
This is the segment where if Samsung ships the same display on Galaxy S23 as fitted with Galaxy S22, then it will doubtless dominate the iPhone 14. Because Samsung offers a 120Hz refresh rate display, scale down to 48Hz. Although not versatile as iPhone 14 Pro (1-120Hz) range. But the regular variant of the iPhone 14 maxes out at 60Hz.
That means, surely you can enjoy smoother scrolling along with better video playback and gameplay on optimized titles. Additionally, the Galaxy S22 offers an always-on-display, and the same goes to expect to continue on the Galaxy S23. Whereas this is another feature found in the iPhone 14 pro variant.
Design
The iphone 14 sticks to a notch which debut further as a dynamic island notch in the Pro variant. In contrast, Galaxy S23 will probably feature a punch hole display similar to its predecessor. And that definitely gives a more immersive viewing experience.
With the addition of an under-display camera with the foldable flagship Galaxy Z Fold 4. But there’s a least possibility of having the same premium feature in the S23 Ultra even. The possible reason is the inferior image quality. Here Samsung could upgrade the contour cut design now as the same becomes a little old now.
Performance
This is one of the vital criteria for any smartphone, now presently this has been the rumour that the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip could transcend performance than iPhone 14 Pro A16 Bionic chip, especially in the graphics department.
Also, one of the leakers posted on the Chinese blog Weibo that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset could have an “ultra-high frequency” version capable of reaching speeds of 3.4 to 3.5GHz. Whereas the current Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 clocks in at the frequency of 3.2GHz.
Faster charging
Although, presently Galaxy S22 series maxes out 25W charging, and is still faster than the iPhone 14. As charging testing reveals that the S22 got 60% in 30 minutes versus 54% for the iPhone 14. On the other hand, we still crave the more extended charging limit in the base model of the Galaxy S23.
While recently it has been claimed by the Korean site ‘The Elec’ that Samsung Electronics expand its battery capacity new Galaxy S23. The objective is to increase the energy density by about 5% while keeping the size the same. While its Plus (+) variant is expected to be at 4700 mAh at 4500 milliampere-hour (mAh) based on the model.
Satellite connectivity
The Satellite connectivity feature is indeed in development, it’ll be grounded with the release of the Galaxy S23 series. As ensured the targeted availability in Samsung’s upcoming flagships. Notably, it is the third OEM that offers the Satellite help function.
Wider bezel
As per the details, Samsung next coming Galaxy S23 head bezels could be enlarged by 0.15mm, constructing them a bit thicker than its predecessor. Rather than the Galaxy S21, the Galaxy S22 arrive through narrow bezels, which are visible to be moving again through the next-gen flagships.

Windup statement
At least based on what we know so far, the iPhone 14 could very well maintain its lead in terms of overall image quality and overall performance. But Samsung could build upon the Galaxy S22’s strengths with the S23’s 120Hz display, sleeker notch-free design, more versatile zoom camera and more.
At last, we conclude the topic by mentioning that Samsung Galaxy S23 build upon its predecessor’s strength along with a 120Hz display, sleeker notch-free design, more versatile zoom camera and more. So we expect the best to come in Galaxy’s base model which makes it the most distinctive and eminent phone of its time.
