Samsung Galaxy S23’s price in Kenya is KSh 96,000. The Galaxy S23 features a 6.1-inch AMOLED display, which is brighter than ever before. The Galaxy S22’s similarly-sized panel was already pretty bright, with a maximum brightness of 1,300 nits.

The Galaxy S23’s display features an adaptive display rate that moves from 48Hz up to 120Hz, depending on your on-screen activity.

Design
Samsung is known for its premium design, and the Galaxy S23 is no exception. The phone is sleek and polished, with a minimalist aesthetic that is easy on the eyes. One significant change in the design of the S23 is the rear camera layout. Unlike previous models, the S23’s cameras are stacked vertically, creating a more streamlined appearance. The rear cameras no longer have a separate array, which enhances the device’s appearance.
The Galaxy S23 is built with high-end materials, and the phone’s body features Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2. This should make the phone more durable and less prone to scratches, scuffs, and cracks. The phone is available in several colors: Cream, Green, and Black. The Cream version is particularly eye-catching, with a subdued appearance that complements the phone’s overall design.
Performance
The Galaxy S23 runs on Android 13, the latest version of Google’s operating system. Samsung has made several tweaks to the software, including an improved notification system and a new privacy dashboard. One of the most significant changes is the introduction of One UI 4.0, Samsung’s custom user interface. One UI 4.0 is designed to be more user-friendly and intuitive, with simplified menus and enhanced customization options.

Battery Life
The Galaxy S23 is equipped with a 4,500mAh battery, which is slightly smaller than the battery in the Galaxy S22. However, Samsung has optimized the device’s power usage, and the S23 should last all day on a single charge.
The phone also features 25W fast charging, allowing you to charge the battery when running low quickly. The S23 also supports reverse wireless charging, which lets you charge other devices using your phone’s battery.
