With yesterday's Galaxy S23 announcement, Samsung showed yet another way it's copying Apple's iPhone — and we love it.
Samsung has courted a ton of flak in the past for copying Apple, but in 2023, that penchant for imitating its archrival just might prove to be helpful for smartphone shoppers. Soon after revealing the asking price of the Galaxy S23 trio, Samsung announced that its previous flagship is officially getting a price cut — rather than getting axed from retail shelves.
Related A surprisingly good value Almost every single time I am asked, “Which iPhone should I buy?,” I suggest splurging on a previous-gen iPhone instead of the pricier current-gen model. That’s because the differences aren’t huge in terms of hardware prowess. Plus, Apple keeps its phone running in tip-top shape with regular software updates for at least five to six years. Just over a week ago, Apple issued a software update for the decade-old iPhone 5S.
As for the phone itself, I had a love-hate relationship with it when I initially reviewed it. The compact build is a refreshingly joyous experience, especially in a sea of Android slabs. The build materials are premium, the software is loaded with a ton of intuitive features, and the cameras are reliable.
Plus, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip inside this phone is seriously fast. If you are interested in the Galaxy S22, rest assured that it will be able to handle anything you throw at it with ease, for the next few years. So, is the Galaxy S22 worth taking as a shooter for your next vacation? I’d say yes. In fact, it’s more versatile than the iPhone 14. The Samsung phone’s OLED screen is beautiful, and it offers the perk of a 120Hz refresh rate, which is again a convenience that you only get on iPhones worth a thousand dollars, or more. It’s the ecosystem benefits where Apple has a meaningful upper hand.
