S23= Snapdragon S22U= Snapdragon Which would be a better buy once the S24 series releases. As both the phones prices will drop, so basically which phone would be a better buy in 2024 ?
The s23 plus is my go to recommendation of this year. The s22u has horrible battery in comparison. The only difference between the s23 plus and s23 ultra that matter (to 99% of people) are the boxier slightly larger design, 10x camera, and spen. If you can live without those 3 things then get the s23 plus. I am a very heavy user and I got the s22u because it promised great efficiency gains over the s21u (I wish that was actually true). I had to get a magsafe battery in order to get through my day. An s23+ would serve you much better then an s22u would.
Avoid S22 Ultra at all cost. The battery is a joke. The chip is super power hungry. You can disable everything and it will still drain your battery. Samsung fixed this issue in S23 Ultra. I bought both phones on launch day and recently just switched to iPhone 15.
