Samsung Galaxy S23 vs. iPhone14: Which one is better?

With the development of the cell phone market, Samsung Galaxy S23 is officially exposed and equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor. The release time will probably be at the end of the year or the beginning of the year, many people are torn is continue to wait. In the following, we will use the Samsung Galaxy S23 compared to the iPhone14 to see which one is better.

 

1. The appearance of the face The Samsung Galaxy S23 and the iPhone 14 both have a high-definition design. According to the news, the Samsung Galaxy S23's design will not be much different from the previous generation, with the same single-hole straight screen on the front and the same camera module arrangement on the back as the previous generation. But this appearance is not backward to the present, and it will be available in a variety of colors such as black, beige, green, and pink. In addition, its details support IP68-level waterproofing, very worth looking forward to.

 

In contrast, the iPhone 14 also has a high-value appearance. It also continues the design of the previous generation, with a straight screen with bangs on the front and a diagonal arrangement of camera modules on the back. The color scheme is available in midnight, starlight, purple, blue, and red, with details that also support IP68-level waterproofing. And its screen is 6.1 inches, the size and weight will be similar.

 

 

2.The screen quality The Samsung Galaxy S23 and iPhone 14 both have a 6.1-inch OLED screen on the front, but there is a big difference in display quality. The Samsung Galaxy S23 will continue the configuration of the previous generation with 2340*1080 pixel resolution and support for 120Hz refresh rate, which allows for automatic refresh rate adjustment. Not only have a better experience when sliding the screen, but the adaptive refresh rate can save power consumption, which is not available on the iPhone 14.

 

With 2532*1170 pixels resolution, iPhone 14 has a better display than Samsung Galaxy S23. But it lacks the 120Hz refresh rate, which is not understandable. After all, nowadays, all thousand-dollar machines are equipped with 120Hz refresh rate, 144Hz refresh rate, etc. The sliding screen experience will be greatly reduced. Then again, the Samsung Galaxy S23 has a more advantageous screen brightness and screen-to-body ratio.

 

3. Core performance If there is no surprise, Samsung Galaxy S23 will be the first to be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor. This chip is not upgraded in the process, the same TSMC 4nm process, but the performance and image processing capabilities are much improved. Compared to Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 will probably improve by more than 10%, with LPDDR5 memory and UFS3.1 flash memory, smoothness is no problem.

 

Despite the strong performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen2, the iPhone 14 is equipped with a full-blooded version of the Apple A15 processor is not bad. The chip is based on a 5nm process and has a single-core score of 1719 and a multi-core score of 4552 in GeekBench 5, far exceeding the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1. The Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is likely to come close to its performance, but it won't surpass it. In addition, the iPhone 14 also has 6GB of memory, smooth with four or five years are no problem.

 

4. Imaging System In terms of an imaging system, both Samsung Galaxy S23 and iPhone14 are not much improved, just regular upgrades. The Samsung Galaxy S23 will probably also be a 50-megapixel wide-angle main camera + 12-megapixel super wide-angle + 10-megapixel telephoto with support for 3x optical zoom. The front 10-megapixel selfie supports an ultra-visual night shot system, I believe that we are still very comfortable with Samsung's photo. After all, parameters do not mean everything, the Samsung Galaxy S22 photo experience is very good.

 

iPhone 14 rear 12MP wide-angle main camera + 12MP ultra-wide angle, the main camera has f/1.5 aperture, the ultra-wide angle has f/2.4 aperture, and 120° viewing angle. Compared to the previous generation is just a conventional upgrade with the addition of autofocus and a larger aperture and lens. In the front 13-megapixel selfie, the photo effect is similar. But compared to the Samsung Galaxy S23's lack of a telephoto lens, it is clear that the Samsung Galaxy S23 has more obvious advantages.

 

 

5. Range The Samsung Galaxy S23 will have a built-in 3900mAh battery, 200mAh more than the Samsung Galaxy S22, which is still more authentic, but this will not be known until after the release. It is reported that Samsung Galaxy S23 will support 25W wired fast charging, no advantage over the domestic flagship's 100-watt fast charging, but to fight the iPhone 14's 20W + fast charging.

 

The iPhone 14 has a built-in 3279mAh battery, and with the optimization of iOS, the battery life is similar to the 4500mAh battery of Android machines. It can achieve 20 hours of video playback, and normal use can reach about 9 hours, with excellent battery life performance. However, it takes about 1 hour for 20W+ fast charging, which is a disadvantage in charging speed.

 

6. Summary At present, Samsung Galaxy S23 is in the exposure stage, the earliest until after the November release, but the general configuration has been determined. For example, 120Hz straight screen, Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor, 50-megapixel triple camera, 25W fast charging, and so on. The starting price is still predicted to be $4,999, and the overall performance will certainly be more advantageous than the iPhone 14. Users who like Android can wait for the release.
