Samsung Galaxy S23 — Disadvantages

Cons

Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.

Storage needs planning

There is no microSD slot. If you record lots of video or keep an offline media library, choose enough storage at purchase: you cannot add a card later, and cloud storage needs an internet connection.

No 3.5 mm headphone socket

Traditional 3.5 mm headphones need a compatible USB-C adapter. USB-C headphones or Bluetooth are the other options.

Wired charging tops out at 25 W

A more powerful adapter will not turn its 25 W charging into 45 W charging. That limit matters if you often rely on brief charging stops.
