What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is one of the few powerful compact Android phones, with a brighter, slightly larger screen, strong performance and a sturdy build, but only an incremental update on the S23. The common complaints are the unchanged cameras and slow charging; Trusted Reviews and T3 found battery life no better than adequate, while GSMArena rated it great.
