Samsung Galaxy S23 is a decent upgrade in the US: Ookla 5G Speed Test
Recently, Ookla published its analysis on how the newly launched Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra performed over 5G against the S22 series in the US and other key markets. Speedtest Intelligence data revealed that the Galaxy S23 and S23 Ultra outperformed their predecessors in 5G download speed tests.

In the first month after launch, the vanilla and most premium Samsung Galaxy S23 variants swiftly defeated the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Ultra in the 5G download speed test in the US, reports Ookla. However, the S23+ and S22+ were statistically too close to call.
The vanilla Galaxy S23 smartphone raced ahead of the Galaxy S22 at 177.15 Mbps to 145.91 Mbps, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra was faster than the Galaxy S22 Ultra at 187.83 Mbps to 161.87 Mbps. All of the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S23 models outperformed the median 5G download speed in the US during the last quarter of 2022.
The S23 Ultra was the only S23 series model to statistically outperform its counterpart for median 5G upload speeds, with an upload speed of 17.56 Mbps to 14.60 Mbps. Looking at median multi-server latency over 5G, the S23 Ultra edged ahead of its S22 Ultra counterpart 50.44 ms to 51.52.
Ookla Recommendation:
U.S. Samsung Galaxy S22 users shouldn’t hesitate to upgrade to the S23 models, especially for the new features and hardware — particularly if you want the S23 Ultra’s 200 MP camera. With 5G networks increasingly getting faster, we suspect the S23 models have yet to see their full potential in the U.S., too.
“If you have 5G and a Samsung Galaxy S22 in the United States, don’t hesitate to upgrade to an S23 model,” said Ookla.
S23 Series Vs S22 Series: Key Upgrades
Samsung Galaxy S23 series is equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor, while the Galaxy S22 series uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the US. The latest flagships use a Snapdragon X70 modem, while the last year’s lineup has a Snapdragon X65 modem.

Circle to Search will be getting a significant functional boost later this year. At I/O 2024, Google confirmed to upgrade Android’s Circle to Search with the ability to help you get your homework done. The service will add support for Math and Physics topics to help users.
Google teased at I/O 2024 that Circle to Search will add new features, helping students better understand potentially difficult class topics. Looking at what Google teased, the feature could show them step-by-step instructions for a “range of physics and math word problems.”
Thanks to the LearnLM AI models, Circle to Search will be capable of understanding and demonstrating symbolic formulas, diagrams, graphs, and more. When available, it will be accessible as an experimental feature which could be activated through Google Account under the Labs section.
Circle to Search now makes for a great study buddy 📝 You can circle complex physics problems on your phone or tablet to get step-by-step instructions to learn how to solve. #GoogleIO pic.twitter.com/nFFW36BwWo

To recall, Circle to Search was first released with Samsung’s S24 series earlier this year. Later on, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro received it through an OTA upgrade. It’s one of the star new features of Android, and although iOS users can’t yet circle their math homework for help, anything is possible.
