We’re past the mid-point of January 2023 and the launch of this year’s update to Samsung’s flagship smartphone range – the Samsung Galaxy S23 – is only days away.

Set to officially launch during Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event on February 1 (10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT, or 5am AEDT February 2nd in Australia), the latest trio of Galaxy releases has already been subject to some leaks which have given us an idea of what we can hope to expect.

And despite some impressive potential improvements, there remains very little from these rumors to convince me that Samsung’s latest will topple the Google Pixel 7 Pro as the best Android phone that money can buy.
