8.4/10 by Shubham Raheja | 14 Feb 2023

The Galaxy S23 is a high-spirited phone, with powerful innards, no heating issues (so far) and decent cameras. Just picking it up can sometimes cheer you. We are just hoping the battery life improves with the Adaptive battery tech running in the background and that in the next iteration, the entire Galaxy S line-up gets new lenses or anti-glare coating.

8.4/10 by Robin John | 16 Sep 2024

The Pixel 9 is a solid upgrade but feels pricey at Rs 79,999. If you're choosing between this and the Samsung Galaxy S24, go with the S24 for better performance, a telephoto camera, and more storage. However, the Pixel 9 stands out with innovative AI features like Magic Lists and Reimagine. If those AI tools appeal to you, it's a great pick. For budget-conscious users focused on gaming and fast charging, consider alternatives like the OnePlus 12, Xiaomi 14, or iQOO 12.
