The differences between these two phones are simultaneously very muted
and yet cavernously loud. In a few specific specs the iPhone 15 edges
out its competitor, yet the Samsung Galaxy S23 remains a better device
when you evaluate the whole picture. Its superior display and more
versatile camera set-up give it the upper hand in two of the most
important areas, while specs are a close match just about everywhere
else. While the devices are certainly different in the delivery of
their user experiences, the Samsung Galaxy S23 will be a more powerful
choice for most users.
It's worth considering the Apple iPhone 15 though, even if you're an
Android devotee. The phone stands ready to challenge the Samsung
flagship in many respects, including processing power. The familiarity
of the Apple system is a strong pull toward the iPhone for those who
are used to it, and it’s likely harder for a Samsung loyalist to switch
over to the Apple OS than vice versa. Moreover, with a lengthy update
support window, you may be looking at a longer timeline between the
necessity of another new phone purchase if you opt for the iPhone 15,
providing what may work out to be more bang for your buck in the long
run.

Best for Android users
$700
The Samsung Galaxy S23 puts itself forward as a massive competitor. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor powers a highly efficient and hugely
powerful smartphone finished off with highly polished aesthetics and a
50MP camera. The battery life beats out the average across all
competitive smartphones, and its DeX features make it a valuable
productivity asset, too. The Galaxy S23 comes out as the front runner
in this head-to-head, but not without a
strong challenge.
Close runner-up
An elite iPhone upgrade
$799
The iPhone 15 is no slouch. With great color choices and a revamping of
the aesthetics, while retaining the classic iPhone design language, the
new iPhone is a juggernaut and only narrowly beaten out by the S23.
Every feature, from the battery life to the camera, is comparable to
the Samsung, and software support remains a highlight that outperforms Samsung's offerings. The phone is an excellent choice for existing
Apple enthusiasts and those considering a switch.
