What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

4.5/5Mar 15, 2024

A compact flagship with little compromise: strong performance, a capable camera trio and all-day battery life, though it is close to the S22 and pricier than rivals.

  • Pocketable, minimalist design at 168g
  • All-day battery life for the first time in the series
  • Flagship-level Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 performance
  • Bright, vivid 6.1-inch AMOLED with 120Hz
  • Versatile triple camera with 3x telephoto
  • Looks nearly identical to the Galaxy S22
  • Slow charging at 25W
  • Display only drops to 48Hz, no LTPO
  • Full HD+ resolution, not WQHD+
  • Colours can look unnaturally vivid in photos
