Who is this for? The Galaxy S23+ is a great fit for multitaskers, professionals, and on-the-go streamers who want a little more screen to work (or play) with. Its robust camera system is best for those capturing memories, not just snapping quick pics. If you want a larger display without the even bigger Ultra models, the S23+ offers the sweet spot. Compared to the standard S23, you get more screen space, but without the camera overkill of the “Ultra” series. However, it’s not for those who need a truly pocket-sized phone.
