This story is part of Samsung Event, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Samsung’s most popular products.

Samsung revealed the new Galaxy S23 line earlier this month at the company’s Feb. 1 Unpacked event in San Francisco, introducing the S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra. The new phones have a host of features and camera improvements, and on paper they seem poised to be among the top phones of the year. We’re in the process of reviewing the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus right now, but you can check out Lisa Eadicicco’s Galaxy S23 Ultra review to see how Samsung’s most expensive phone fares.

Samsung’s all-new Galaxy S23 flagship lineup is now available to preorder, with devices shipping on Feb. 17. You can save on the latest devices with several Galaxy S23 preorder deals already available at Samsung, Best Buy, all the major phone carriers and more.

Though the line is one of the first major tech launches of the year, the phone space is quite competitive. Apple and Google just refreshed their respective flagship lineups last fall, with Apple unveiling the Phone 14 and Google touting the Pixel 7. And new devices, including the OnePlus 11 5G, are right around the corner.

Samsung’s devices are often directly compared to Apple’s, so we’re going to take a look at how the base S23 and the base iPhone 14 stack up when it comes to specs.
