There's enough to gain that would justify making the jump, but the Galaxy S20 also still has plenty to offer.īy upgrading, you'll get a faster chip, an improved camera with significantly better low-light performance and a fresh design. Whether you should upgrade from the Galaxy S20 isn't as straightforward of an answer. There's nothing about the Galaxy S23's camera that feels hugely different from the previous generation, although I did notice that low-light portraits looked better.
The selfie camera also has a slightly higher resolution (12 megapixels versus 10), although I didn't notice much of a difference. The Galaxy S23's cameras are largely the same as the Galaxy S22's, except the algorithms have been updated to improve processing in low light conditions.
Also keep in mind that Qualcomm just announced the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile processor, which will likely power the Galaxy S24. But you probably won't notice much of a jump in everyday use, since most modern processors are well-equipped to handle gaming, multitasking and other run-of-the-mill tasks. Performance is faster, especially when exporting video. Otherwise, compared to the Galaxy S22, you're getting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor that's been optimized for the new Galaxy lineup specifically, while the Galaxy S22 runs on the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip.
