Which one should you go for: the iPhone 15 Pro or the Samsung Galaxy S23? We compare Apple's best compact phone against the similarly petite Galaxy S23 across categories such as performance, cameras and battery life...
Starting with the looks, both are 6.1-inch phones and both roughly have the same physical footprint.
Apple is said to make one change to the buttons, though. It is still using physical keys for power and volume , but the mute switch that has been on iPhones since the very beginning is now replaced with a new Action Button. This new button will be programmable so you can set it to launched whatever function you prefer, and of course, you can also set it to work as a mute key as before too. The Galaxy does not have such a button and we do wish it had, it's such a nice little convenience.
Both screens also have dynamic 120Hz refresh rate, so scrolling and swiping looks buttery smooth, but the iPhone is a bit more advanced as it can go all the way down to just 1Hz for static content, while the Galaxy S23 can only go as low as 48Hz, which is not as power efficient. Subtle difference again, but worth noting.
One of the most impressive new features on the iPhone 15 Pro is the Apple A17 Bionic chip, the world's first mobile chip built using TSMC's 3nm technology. And then you have the software where the iPhone and the Galaxy could not differ more. The iPhone is expected to launch with the latest iOS 17, while the Galaxy runs on Android 13 with Samsung's One UI 5.1.
You have a 48MP main camera on the iPhone and a 50MP main shooter on the Galaxy, then you have 12MP ultra-wide camera on both, and finally, you have a 3X zoom shooter again on both. Both phones can also use the ultra-wide camera to take macro shots. For video quality, the Galaxy has really stepped it up in one area: video stabilization, which is now so good on the Galaxy S23.
