Here's why I'm so excited for the Samsung Galaxy S23, way more so than what we saw from Apple and Google this year...
Whether you're a tech enthusiast or just a casual consumer, it's hard to deny that those phones, and all folding or dual-screen phones, are pretty exciting.
In Apple's own little realm, the iPhone 14 upgrades were actually significant – always-on display and no more notch, it's a Dynamic Island nowIn the wonderful world of smartphone enthusiasts Apple is paradoxically known for being a huge innovator, and for being the least innovative major brand. And just when things started stagnating, lo and behold – the new iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max finally dropped the notch in favor of Apple's new marketing genius of a feature – the Dynamic Island. It's basically a horizontal cutout, holding the selfie camera and the Face ID array just like the notch did, except now it's animated!
Unlike how most Android manufacturers approach always-on display, Apple's iPhone actually keeps its entire display on, not just a few pixels – showing time, notifications, widgets, and a wallpaper, even. The phone is clever enough to shut off its screen only when it's sure that you're not looking at it – when inside a pocket, or upside-down flat on a table.
In any case, let's move onto the Google Pixel 7 series, particularly the Pixel 7 Pro, and see if the search engine giant managed to surprise and excite us better, with its annual flagship upgrade… Google also introduced a big, new software feature, that I feel didn't get appreciated as much as it deserves. More accurately, it's a gift, and one that I'm very happy about – a free VPN by Google One, for all! Well, it's not available yet, but soon, says Google.
And for Google, of all companies, to give us a free VPN with our new Pixel 7 phones – well, that's almost as epic as it is ironic. What's next, Facebook releasing an ad blocker?Note that this is a fan-made, unofficial Galaxy S23 Ultra trailer Design-wise, the S23 series might be staying the same, though, as reputable leaker Ice Universe recently gave us a pretty concrete idea of what to expect –In fact, he's saying that Samsung has widened the S23 series' screen bezels and made the phones bulkier over the S22 series, so it sounds like a"one step forward, two steps back" kind of thing, seemingly.
