One of the main differences between mobile phones today, compared to those of ten years ago, is the number of things we can do with them. Right now, with any smartphone we can do practically everything, such as working from anywhere or managing any type of application. However, what makes the difference between one phone and another is the ease and comfort with which all this is done.
The new Samsung Galaxy S23 Series devices stand out for many aspects, but one of the most important is, without a doubt, their performance. Starting with the base model, Samsung Galaxy S23 but especially the incredible Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
To test its power, we will see how the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra behaves when it is really required, for example playing the most famous video games of the moment, like PUBG or Call of Duty Mobile. Overheating, interruptions, cuts or reduced battery life are some of the usual consequences when we push our phone to the limit. Let’s see how the best phone of 2023 fares.
The most powerful Snapdragon processor in the world
For all those who like technology and are followers of Samsung launches, you will know that one of the novelties of the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Series family is that it is the first to incorporate a Qualcomm processor in Europe. Specifically, Samsung has relied on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 for its three terminals, designed specifically for its Galaxy terminals.
It is the most advanced and fastest processor that Qualcomm has manufactured to date, and it has only one goal: that the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Series can perform smoothly at all times, in an optimized way and without interruptions.
Introduced in November of last year, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 processor is, according to the company, 4.35 times more powerful than the previous generation. As for RAM, it is compatible with LPDDR5X RAM, a more advanced technology than the LPDDR5 RAM present in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
The differences between the processor developed exclusively for the Samsung Galaxy range with the base model is that it increases the speed to 3.36 GHz instead of 3.2 GHz instead of the normal version. Also, some processor improvements overclocked, will be noticeable in the overall performance of the deviceswith greater graphic fluidity in the execution of video games and greater ease in the execution of highly demanding tasks.
From what we have been able to see in these weeks using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone, it offers very fast processing capacity and more efficient management, which is noticeable in battery consumption, extending its autonomy. In our case, after a long day of using the terminal, we came home with a little less than half the charge.
The screen with the best image quality
Another aspect that is often measured is the quality of the screen. If we are going to spend many hours on the phone while we play, we need a high-quality screen, but one that, like the rest of the phone, works efficiently and does not run out in a few hours.
In the case of the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, we have a Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with the new Vision Booster technology, capable of analyzing the environment to automatically adjust the brightness of the screen and even reach 1,750 nits. Or what is the same, you can enjoy the best image quality even on the street and on very sunny days.
As for the refresh rate, Samsung has again incorporated an adaptive up to 120Hz, with which the phone itself intelligently decides what refresh rate it needs to use depending on the game. is not the same a shooter than a platform game. That way, when the phone doesn’t need the highest refresh rate, it can save battery life.
Finally, like previous models, it also includes Eye Comfort that reduces blue light and improves contrast, for example in texts, to make reading easier, especially if we have long texts or many hours of work ahead of us.
Battery: same capacity but much more autonomy
We leave for last the fundamental aspect that makes a mobile phone perfect for enjoying our favorite video games: the battery. The new Samsung Galaxy S23, Samsung Galaxy S23+ and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra they have a battery of 3,900mAh, 4,700 mAh and an incredible 5,000 mAh respectively. According to data from Samsung itself, and that we are verifying in the analysis of the phone, despite having the same capacity as last year’s model, autonomy has increased by 20%.
With the efficient use of all the components of the phone, the battery lasts a day of exhaustive use, even if we spend several hours gaming. In case you need to charge the battery, for example while we shower, thanks to the 45W fast charging system we can charge more than half of the battery in just over half an hour. It also supports 15W wireless charging and reverse charging, to charge our watch or headphones, and even another smartphone.
However, although the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Series stand out in the gaming field for their great performance, they also They are very balanced terminals in all aspects. For example, his camera is undoubtedly one of the best we’ve seen in recent years.
In short, Samsung has just presented its serious candidate for best phone of the year.
