There's also 8K video recording at 30fps if that's your thing.
All of this means that the Galaxy S23 Ultra is our pick for the best Samsung phone overall, at least for now. Who knows how game-changing the company's foldable lineup will be this year, and what other models are out there?

ThisDouble Z 3The phone has been improved with support for the S Pen and IPX8 water resistance, two features requested by Fold users. With the Z Fold 4, Samsung has once again responded to user requests by improving the phone's rear camera and form factor.

While the Z Fold 4 is still Samsung's best foldable, the Z Flip 4 is likely to sell the most and appeal to the masses. Not only is the flip phone cheaper than the Z Fold, but it's also more compact, more portable and has a friendlier learning curve.

Samsung launched the Galaxy XCover 6 Pro last September, and it's still the South Korean giant's best rugged option. In fact, it's one of the only rugged smartphones to support 5G connectivity, making the XCover 6 Pro a top choice for industrial and corporate users working in hazardous environments.
By the numbers, the XCover 6 Pro is MIL-STD-810H compliant, meaning it's been put through a battery of military tests for durability and protection. The device is also IP68 rated and can be fully submerged under one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
RETURN:Samsung's Galaxy XCover 6 Pro and Tab Active 4 Pro are built to last
The dual cameras on the back -- 50MP wide and 8MP ultrawide -- are passable, but you're mostly paying for the phone's durability, and that's about it. Fortunately, Samsung has accompanied it with a Snapdragon 778G processor and a compact 6.6-inch display covered with scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass Victus Plus.

While the top-of-the-line Galaxy S and Z foldables offer exciting options, they're the top-of-the-line phones at $900 and up. To give consumers another choice, Samsung created the Galaxy A series led by the A54 5G.
There are really three reasons why you should buy the Galaxy A54 5G over any other phone under $500: For $449, you get a stunning 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a stunning 120Hz refresh rate and a triple camera setup that includes a primary 50 MP sensor and a powerful 5,000 mAh battery. Clearly, Samsung knows what features users value most, and if you have preferences beyond this list, there are plenty of other options up and down the line.
review:Samsung Galaxy A54 5G
The A-series smartphones are also owned by Samsungfive-year commitmentSoftware and security updates, which are rare for a device in this price range. So if you buy an A54 5G today, you can expect the phone to receive the latest features and updates until 2028 -- and possibly beyond.

And don't let the lower cost fool you; the Galaxy A14 5G has all the specs you'd want in a mobile companion, from a relatively large 6.6-inch 90Hz display (a rarity in this price range) to expandable storage ( up to 1 TB), on Samsung's four-year security patch commitment. Oh, and for the selfie lover in your life, the front camera resolution is higher than ever.

Which Samsung phone is right for you?
It was much easier to pick up a Samsung phone back when only the S and Note series and a few low-end entry-level phones were available. Samsung has significantly expanded its offerings with the A-series, Fold and Flip options. So the first thing to think about now is the form factor you want.
First, decide if you want a standard "glass rectangle" smartphone or a foldable device. For maximum screen real estate, get the Z Fold 4. Or, for minimal pocket space and extra style, get the Z Flip 4 or Galaxy S23.
With Samsung's current lineup, phones range in price from under $200 to over $1,200. Your budget will quickly help you decide which price is right for you. From there, start comparing individual features like stylus support or which device has the best camera array.
Choose this Samsung phone... | if you want... |
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra | A flagship of Samsung with all the features in a traditional form factor. It's more expensive than most, but if you want a no-frills phone that can do just about anything, it's well worth the money. |
