You didn’t have to wait long for Samsung’s latest phones to receive steep discounts. Amazon is running a sale on the Galaxy S23 series that brings the flagship devices to record-low prices. Most notably, the Galaxy S23 Ultra with 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM is down to $1,200 (normally $1,380). You can roll the savings into wireless earbuds, a case and other accessories.
You’re still poised to save money if the Ultra is more than you need. The Galaxy S23+ 512GB is on sale for $1,000 (normally $1,200), while the standard S23 with 256GB is available for $800 (usually $860). You don’t have to skimp on capacity just to get one of the more affordable models.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra is our favorite Android phone, and for good reason. While it’s an iterative upgrade to last year’s model, it delivers improvements where they matter most: better cameras, longer battery life and faster performance. So long as you’re okay with a large screen, this is a versatile device that can handle just about any situation.
Not that the other models are slouches. We liked the Galaxy S23+ for its exceptionally long battery life, vivid display and speedy chip, and the base model won’t be far behind. While the low-light photography isn’t quite as strong as with other high-end phones, this is a straightforward pick if you’re either upgrading from an earlier Samsung phone or want more power than the Pixel 7 line can deliver.
