Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
A sharp large display
The 6.7-inch QHD+ screen with adaptive refresh up to 120 Hz suits documents and photographs. We value high sharpness without moving to the larger Ultra.
Memory for several tasks
12 GB RAM provides more app headroom than the S23+. That helps when alternating between the camera, browser and work apps. RAM capacity alone does not determine every operation’s speed.
Long support
Seven OS generations and seven years of security updates were announced from the 2024 launch. That matters for used purchases too. The clock does not restart when you buy it.
