This story is part of Samsung Event, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Samsung’s most popular products.
Last week at its Samsung Unpacked event in San Francisco, Samsung officially took the wraps off its new Galaxy S23 line, introducing the S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra. The new phones, the latest in Samsung’s popular Galaxy S line, have a host of feature and camera improvements, and on paper they seem poised to be among the top phones of the year. The 2023 era of flagship phones has begun.
Though the line is one of the first major tech launches of the year, the phone space is competitive. Apple and Google just refreshed their respective flagship lineups last fall, with Apple unveiling the Phone 14 and Google touting the Pixel 7. And new devices, including the OnePlus 11 5G, are right around the corner.
Samsung’s devices are often directly compared to Apple’s, so we’re going to take a look at how the base S23 and the base iPhone 14 stack up when it comes to specs.
