The time has come: the Samsung Galaxy S23 is official. During Galaxy Unpacked, the three new flagships were revealed and Apple also knows what kind of competition it can expect for the iPhone this year. But do you know?
During a presentation, companies usually throw around a big load of specifications and terms. It’s not surprising that you can’t see the wood for the trees. Fortunately, your friends at WANT have listed the most important information for you.
