With the launch of the Galaxy S25 series only a few weeks away, considering the Galaxy S23, the nearly two-year-old smartphone doesn’t seem like a wise choice. However, given the fact that the Galaxy S23 is now available at Rs 37,999, which is less than 50 percent off its original launch price, it’s still a good deal, especially for those who value a good and compact Android flagship smartphone.
The base variant of the Galaxy S23 is now available on Flipkart for Rs 37,999. For anyone considering a no-compromise compact Android flagship, here’s why it’s a good choice.

Despite its compact size, featuring a 6.1-inch screen, the Galaxy S23 is as good as the Galaxy S24 or any other Android flagship smartphone priced around Rs 50,000. This includes its premium metal-glass-sandwich build, IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, triple camera setup with dedicated telephoto and ultra-wide angle lenses, and additionally it gets the full range of Galaxy AI experiences.
The Galaxy S23 has all the features of a flagship Android smartphone, including wireless charging, eSIM support and a 120Hz display with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The smartphone also has a clean design and there are many first-party and third-party accessories available for the device.
Powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with at least 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, it can handle heavy multitasking and gaming without any issues, considering you’re okay with the small screen. On top of that, it also offers a solid software experience, which currently runs on Android 14-based OneUI 6, and will soon be updated to Android 15-based OneUI 7, and will be eligible for two major OS upgrades.
The main weakness of the Galaxy S23 is its battery life. With a 3,900 mAh battery and support for 25W fast charging, the battery is average, but for normal use, the phone should last all day.
Overall, if you’re a fan of compact smartphones and looking for a solid smartphone that you can continue to use for the next two to three years, the Galaxy S23, especially at Rs 37,999, is a solid choice even in 2025.
