Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

At a time when many domestic mobile phones are competing for the high end of the market, many friends may forget that there is an ultra-high-end mobile phone series that has been in the Chinese market for 14 years. That is the Xinxiantian series of mobile phones jointly launched by Samsung and China Telecom. Just in October, Samsung launched the 15th generation of the series, the Samsung W23 and W23 Flip, both with folding screens, one for horizontal folding and the other for vertical folding. This is also the first time that Samsung Xinxian series has launched a double flagship folding screen.

Each generation is concerned about the World W series, which is the business flagship of luxury and noble temperament, as is the Samsung W23 series this year. Now that CTOnews.com has got the horizontally folded Samsung W23 phone, let's take a look today to see if Samsung W23 is your ideal top business flagship.

First, as an ultra-high-end mobile phone for the elite, Samsung's heart-to-world W series has always been very elegant in product design and workmanship. This year's Samsung W23 is no exception. This is a folding screen phone with inside and outside folding screen, the fuselage uses a shiny and lightweight ceramic back plate, polished by multiple modern processes, and the whole looks as smooth and smooth as jade.

At the same time, the overall line design of Samsung W23 fuselage is relatively smooth and stiff, with clear outline and tension, the outer frame is made of armored aluminum, and the surface of the frame is polished with flat radians, which adds a bit of hard temperament.

In terms of color, the back of Samsung W23 is black, which looks mysterious and steady, with a golden frame, and the collocation of these two colors can also be called a typical "luxury" combination.

On the back of the closed fuselage, there are three camera modules arranged vertically, and in the middle below is a seal-style Logo that "cares about the world". The temperament of the traditional national style arises spontaneously, after all, it is a product made for Chinese consumers.

At the same time, it is worth paying attention to the hinge of Samsung W23, the hinge cover adopts the precision cutting technology of modern high-end watch PCD, and the metal pattern carved with gem-shaped checkered pattern reflects the brilliance of Samsung logo, creating a unique introverted and elegant charm in the flow of light and shadow.

The front of the phone is a 6.2-inch outer screen, the screen frame is very narrow, and the top is a camera punched in the center. At the same time, the inner two corners of the screen glass are close to right angles, while the outer two sides are more curved, showing more design sense in detail. Make the overall vision more comfortable.

Expand the folding screen of the phone, you can see the 7.6-inch inner screen, dynamic wallpaper from dark to bright, from aggregation to wings, ceramic wings show a changing and elegant beauty step by step.

The inner screen is centered at the top of the right screen with an off-screen camera, and there are edges protruding from the surface on all sides of the screen to protect the screen.

In addition, the phone has a volume button and fingerprint and power button on the right side, a SIM card slot on the left, an infrared transmitter and speaker opening at the top, and a microphone, speaker and USB Type-C connector at the bottom.

In terms of weight, the Samsung W23 has a net weight of 280g, a thickness of 6.3mm after deployment, and a maximum thickness of 15.8mm when folded. No matter it is unfolded or folded in daily use, it will not bring uncomfortable feel.

Second, performance and photo experience Samsung W23 is equipped with the first generation Snapdragon 8 + processor in performance. The first generation Snapdragon 8 + uses TSMC 4nm process, and its core architecture remains unchanged compared with the first generation Snapdragon 8. It is a three-cluster architecture of super-core Cortex-X2 + large-core A710 + small-core A510, but the highest main frequency of its CPU core has been raised to 3.2GHz, so the performance of CPU has been improved by 10%, and the frequency of GPU has also increased by 10%. At the same time, the overall SoC power consumption of Snapdragon 8 + has been reduced by 15% compared with Snapdragon 8. On the machine side, in addition to CPU and GPU, Qualcomm has also made adjustments on other modules to make the overall SoC more energy efficient.

In addition, Samsung W23 also has 16GB LPDDR5 memory and 512GB storage, the overall performance specifications are among the top ranks.

In order to further understand the performance level of Samsung W23, CTOnews.com first did a running score test for it. The first is an Rabbit running score. Samsung W23 can run 1024646 points, of which CPU is 237248 and GPU is 440233. Then GeekBench 5.4.4, Samsung W23 single-core 1331, multi-core 4012. Finally, AndroBench, Samsung W23 has 1776.48 MB/s for sequential reads, 1850.25 MB/s for sequential writes, 339.03 MB/s for random reads, and 401.8MB/s for random writes.

‎ from the running score, Samsung W23 performance is in the mainstream level of Snapdragon 8 + flagship phone, but it can be seen that the phone's performance output strategy is conservative.

Next is the game test, CTOnews.com first uses "Game for Peace" to test, when the game is going on, the editor chooses HDR high-definition picture quality, the other image quality options are set to the highest, and the test time is 30 minutes.

After the game test, it is measured that the average frame rate of Samsung W23 running "Game for Peace" is 59.9fps, which can be said to be running at full frame, and there is no feeling of frame drop in the game experience, smooth and smooth.

If you look at the temperature of the fuselage, the highest temperature is 35.2 ℃ near the camera on the back, and you can only feel slightly warm in the cold winter.

Then CTOnews.com uses "original God" to test the Samsung W23, and during the test, all the image quality of the game is set to "high", as follows:

Then play the game for about 20 minutes, starting from Liyue Port during the test, playing strange while browsing the map.

After the test, you can see that the average frame rate of the game is 42.5fps. During the game, you can really feel the frame drop in some scenes with complex pictures, but you can still play it as a whole.

From the CPU core scheduling situation, it is not difficult to find that there are mainly four A510 energy efficiency cores in the process of the game, the Cortex-X2 super-core only intermittently spikes the frequency, and then falls back quickly, and the big core A710 does not try its best to release its performance.

Of course, one advantage of this performance release strategy is that it can control the temperature of the whole machine. After the game is over, the highest temperature of the fuselage is only about 39.0 ℃, and you don't feel hot during the game.

It can be seen that the overall performance adjustment strategy of Samsung W23 is to give priority to ensuring power consumption and controlling the temperature of the fuselage, which is also consistent with its business positioning. Of course, since the overall performance foundation of the first generation Snapdragon 8 + is still very high, the performance of the Samsung W23 is still more than sufficient for daily use.

After talking about the performance, let's take a look at the image performance of Samsung W23. The phone comes with a rear three-camera module, including a 5000-megapixel wide-angle camera (f / 1.8aperture), a 1200-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens (f / 2.2aperture) and a 1000-megapixel 3x telephoto lens (f / 2.4aperture).

In terms of specific photo performance, we first look at the time when there is plenty of light during the day, such as the following one, the straight sample belongs to the style of gorgeous picture and saturated color. Samsung's photos have always been quite bright and pleasing to the eye in terms of image color, and the first feeling is very good-looking. The Samsung W23 is no exception.

After enlarging the photo, the red brick texture on the building wall is still there, but the small print affixed to the car has been blurred. The resolution of the overall details is within the rules.

Of course, if you need resolution, you can also choose to shoot in 50 million high-pixel mode. The following group is the comparison between the standard mode and the high-pixel mode, you can see that in the high-pixel mode, the overall color of the photo is obviously not as gorgeous as the standard mode, and the image style is closer to the reality.

After enlarging the photo, the small print on the signboard of the 50 million high-pixel mode is significantly clearer than the standard mode, making it almost easy to identify.

The next scene is the highlight ratio. The Samsung W23 has excellent environmental control over the outdoor highlights of the basement without local overexposure, while the walls in the basement are brighter than the reality. However, compared with other mobile phone computing photography, the dark side is still weaker, and the overall dynamic range of the picture is not satisfactory.

In terms of ultra-wide angle, we take the following scene as an example, the top picture is the wide-angle main photo, and the lower picture is the ultra-wide-angle photo, which is only regarded as the image style. there is no obvious difference between the two. The angle of view brought by the ultra-wide angle can indeed take more scenes, and look at the window lines of another building on the edge of the picture. There is no obvious distortion, the overall look and feel of the picture is still very powerful.

Switch to the telephoto lens and take another shot, the open balcony on the office building can be clearly captured, the red brick details on the wall are also very rich, and the overall imaging style is consistent with that of the main photographer. It can be seen that Samsung W23's three cameras cooperate with each other to form an excellent integrity, at least in the use of the experience, the effect will not be separated.

Next is the night imaging effect, using the main photo of Samsung W23 to take a picture in front of the mall, the straight photo can still bring a very comfortable look and feel in terms of screen brightness and color restoration.

In terms of picture purity, some noise can be seen in the dark areas of the upper left and upper right corner of the picture, but it is not obvious.

In terms of dynamic range, Samsung W23 performance can also be satisfactory, but in the local highlight suppression is not as exaggerated as some domestic phones, the overall look and feel will be more natural.

Finally, let's take a look at the selfie, mainly the selfie effect of the camera under the inner screen. Here need to insert a word, Samsung W23 folding screen phone equipped with the under-screen camera, in daily use, if you look at the screen a little carefully, you can see that there is a camera area. And the display effect is indeed a little more blurred than the normal screen around it. Of course, it's all based on looking carefully at the screen, and if you don't pay special attention to the camera area under the screen, it looks like a complete full screen.

CTOnews.com also compares the effects of using the outer screen selfie with the inner screen selfie. As shown in the following group of photos, when taking a selfie with a hole in the outer screen, the definition of the camera selfie is higher than that of the camera under the screen, and the details are richer. However, the selfie of the camera under the screen seems to have made a special optimization in the facial beauty algorithm, which eliminates the impact of the camera on the image quality to a certain extent.

More sample photos of Samsung W23 phones:

Third, daily use experience as a high-end folding screen mobile phone for business elites, in fact, the hand experience and ritual feeling must be very important, which is also the soul of Samsung W23.

For example, when you unfold this folding screen phone, the dynamic wallpaper of the ceramic wing pattern will unfold slowly from dark to bright, smart and elegant, and the golden and light blue wings show a very advanced texture. This sense of elegance can only be experienced when you get started.

After opening it, you can see that although there are creases in Samsung W23 folding screen phones, they are not obvious, and their daily use will not be affected visually.

And every time you close the folding screen, the outer screen of the phone will first play an exclusive animation of "mind the world", and then go out, a sense of ritual that other phones can't give.

Of course, if you want to close the screen, you can continue to use the application on the outer screen, or you can set it in the settings, so that after closing the inner screen, the outer screen will not play the animation of "mind the World", but will jump directly to the App you are using.

Thanks to the folding nature of the folding screen, the Samsung W23 can also bring convenience to business people in office scenes, such as online meetings, because the Samsung W23 supports semi-folded vertical interaction mode, you can put the phone flat. In this way, the conference software can be adaptively divided into two parts, the upper part of the screen can be divided into upper and lower parts, the upper part can be videoconferenced, and the lower part can be manipulated quickly.

Take the domestic "Tencent Conference" software as an example, you can adjust the brightness of the screen below, call out the touchpad, quick screenshots, and so on, while operating without affecting the PPT of the meeting, which is very convenient.

And when taking pictures, you can also use the semi-folding hover state of the Samsung W23, when the upper half of the phone displays the viewfinder interface, while the lower half inherits the shutter, photo mode, frame ratio and other functions control buttons, each time a photo is taken, it can also be instantly previewed in the lower half of the screen.

This function is very suitable for taking photos in professional mode, because in professional mode, you often need to extend the shutter time, and in semi-folding hover, you only need to place the phone in the right shooting point, not even a tripod. And it is very convenient to adjust various parameters.

Business people often have the demand to look at stock futures and other K-chart. In the past, on the 18:9 screen, it looked very laborious, the word was small, and the K-chart display was incomplete. Using the inner screen of Samsung W23, you can view the K chart of all kinds of securities and stocks more completely and comfortably, which greatly improves the efficiency of obtaining information.

Another useful feature for business elites is Samsung Dex. With this feature, you can turn on the "desktop mode" of your mobile phone system on your PC, and then use PC's keyboard-mouse interaction to operate your phone, which can greatly improve the efficiency of editing documents and other tasks on your phone.

Moreover, after Samsung W23 connects to PC through Samsung Dex, it can also directly receive notifications received by mobile phones on the PC side, browse the web with a browser, and even open applications on mobile phones, which is a function that can greatly improve productivity for business people.

In short, as a high-end folding screen phone for business elites, Samsung W23 has also made corresponding in-depth optimization in terms of specific user experience and improving the work and life efficiency of business people. in particular, some unique interactive features are designed for the folding screen, which makes people see that this is not just a foldable phone.

Conclusion: as a product that can stand in China's ultra-high-end mobile phone market for 14 years, Samsung's W series naturally has its irreplaceable product characteristics and charm, and the latest Samsung W23 folding screen phone, it is another display of this characteristic and charm-it can attract the long-term favor of high-end business people, it relies on the noble and profound temperament revealed from the product design. And exquisite and exquisite craft quality.

In addition, the Heart of the World W series for the needs of business office people also have enough understanding, according to their habits and needs in the product function experience to do special optimization and adaptation, so as to bring comfortable and efficient use experience. On the premise of these characteristics, as always, high-end configuration and performance specifications seem to be the least important.

Generally speaking, at the moment, if you want to buy an ultra-high-end, noble business flagship, then the three-star W23 series will have to be considered.
