The third name on our list, the Galaxy S23, is the most affordable model of its series. If you’re looking for a compact phone that doesn’t compromise on performance, cameras, and user experience, this one is for you.
For $799.99, the smartphone offers one of the smallest screens on an Android device. In his review, SlashGear’s Adam Doud says, “I have used phones of all shapes and sizes, and the 6.1-inch, 19.5:9 aspect ratio is about as perfect as it gets.” At just 168 grams, the phone is incredibly light, too.
The S23 features all the top-tier specifications you’d expect. For instance, it has a Dynamic AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1,750 nits peak brightness. Powering the performance beast is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
You might think the 3,900 mAh battery won’t last long, but the phone can easily last an entire day on a charge. Further, this is the only smartphone on this list with a telephoto camera that provides lossless zoom and is excellent for clicking portraits.
Moreover, the Galaxy S23 is among the best small Android phones on the market. The company also offers additional discounts to students, army officials, and first responders.
