Reviews

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.

8.1/10 10 Oct 2023

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE offers impressive specifications such as an AMOLED 120Hz display, a triple-camera setup, and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. The primary 50MP sensor on the device captures excellent images. Also, the Exynos 2200 equipped with the device offers good performance. However, the phone has a slow charging speed and it doesn't come with a charger. Overall, the S23 FE is a good option if you are looking for a clean software experience, good cameras, and great performance.

8.5/10 09 Apr 2026

The iPhone 17 delivers a near-perfect everyday flagship experience with a great display, strong battery life, and balanced cameras. But iOS 26 issues like heating, battery drain, and call instability hold it back. It’s easy to recommend for hardware, but the software needs fixing to truly justify its price.
