    Product Overview

    It’s got the looks, it’s got the speed – this phantom black Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphone is the full package. Whether you’re gaming, watching or scrolling, the 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED display gives you bright, vibrant view that’s bursting with detail. You might not be able to put it down – especially since 5G streams, downloads, and uploads faster than ever. Speaking of which, it’s amazing if you can’t wait to get the snaps you’ve taken with the 50MP rear camera on social media. Love your selfies? You’re covered there too thanks to the 12MP front-facing camera. And when you’re (finally) done for the day, fast charging means it’ll be ready to do it all over again in no time.

    Features we love

    A camera you can be proud of

    If you’re always the one taking pics at events or on nights out, you’ll love the Galaxy S23’s camera. It’s got loads of amazing features to take your photography skills to the next level, including a 50MP wide-angle lens, 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP front camera for top-notch selfies. Keep hold of those great memories in picture perfect clarity.

    Capture memories at their best

    As well as all the usual bells and whistles, the Galaxy S23 also has an extra trick up its sleeve to make your photos look even better – AI enhancement. This clever tech uses machine learning to bring out all the little details and adding more depth. That means every snap looks its absolute best – it’s like having a professional studio in your pocket!

    Enjoy stunning photos after dark

    All your pics on that amazing evening out will look better than ever with Nightography. The 50MP wide-angle camera has all sorts of clever tech to make sure your pics come out bright and clear, even when there isn’t much light around. Videos will be just as good too, so you’ll never have to pause them trying to figure out who’s who.

    A battery to see you through the day

    Leave the charger behind thanks to the Samsung Galaxy S23’s long battery life. It’ll last up to a whole day, so you won’t have to plug it in again until you’re back home. And when your phone does need some extra juice, fast charge is on hand to power it up again in no time.

    Always enjoy a clear view

    You’ll never have to squint to see what’s happening on-screen again with the Dynamic AMOLED display. It has a fantastic brightness level that makes sure you never miss a moment – perfect when you’re enjoying a boxset on a sunny day. Plus, with a sturdy Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 screen and an Armour Aluminium frame, you won’t panic if your phone slips out of your hand (it happens to all of us).

    Switching made simple

    Moving all your pictures and videos from your old phone to a new one can be a real pain. That’s why Samsung’s super-clever SmartSwitch feature takes the hassle out of the swap, giving all your files and data a new home in no time. That means no more tech headaches, and all those memories will be safe too.

    Samsung s23

    5/5
    Great product - easy to use features / very happy with this item
    Denise Earley

    Good phone but AO disappoints

    4/5
    Great phone overall, powerfull and battery life is very good. However you need to realise that it is slightly smaller then predecessors and screen quality is worse then S10 or s20 . Unfortunately I realised it only when I opened a box and removed all protective films. So AO would not fully refound it, but take off 10% or 20% of a phone value!!!! Probably my last purchase with AO.

    Unhappy

    Received product with label attached - European Model. This product was originally put on the market by Samsung in a European country which was not the UK. This product was brought into the UK by Brand Smart Ltd which has opened the packaging and made the following changes. Replaced the existing firmware on the product with an Enhlush firmware variant and Samsung has been notified of these changes. Very surprised to see such a label on a Samsung product purchased from AO. I am with O2 & after inserting my SIM the phone is not working correctly. I have contacted O2 & also tried to contact AO to discuss the problem. Very annoyed as I cannot use the phone as it is meant to be used. This issue needs to be rsolved. Not happy that the label was not pointed out at the time of order.
