Hardware and design
The Samsung Galaxy S23 sports a solid build quality with no flexing and is crafted primarily from high-quality metal and glass. The back panel boasts a simple and elegant design with a subtle matte finish that gives it a premium look from every angle.

Additionally, both the front and back are protected by a durable Gorilla Glass, further elevating its aesthetic appeal.
For ease of use, the power key is comfortably accessible, and the volume buttons are within easy reach. The device can also withstand harsh conditions with an IP68 dust and water resistance rating.
