Samsung Galaxy S23+, released in 2023, sits between the standard S23 and the S23 Ultra as Samsung's mid-size flagship, built for people who wanted a large screen and long battery life without the S Pen or the Ultra's camera stack. Known internally as SM-S916 in the US and SM-S916B internationally, it paired a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip with a 6.6-inch AMOLED display and a 4700mAh battery, and it still holds up well for everyday use, video, and gaming. Because Samsung used the same Snapdragon chipset worldwide that year, performance is consistent across regions, which keeps demand for this model steady on the used market.

If you're ready to move forward, you can go straight to the page to sell your smartphone.

Confirm you have the Galaxy S23+

The fastest way to confirm your exact device is on the phone itself. Go to Settings → About phone → Model number. This shows the full model string, which tells you both the region variant and whether the phone is carrier-locked. If the phone won't turn on, the model number is also printed in small text on the original box or on the SIM tray.

SM-S916 (US / North America)

  • Sold through AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and unlocked retail channels
  • Uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy
  • Carrier variants may show a locked status in Settings → About phone

SM-S916B (International)

  • Sold outside North America, typically dual-SIM or hybrid SIM/eSIM
  • Same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform as the US variant
  • Usually factory unlocked

Prefer a visual check? The S23+ has a flat metal frame with squared-off edges, three rear cameras arranged in individual circles with no raised camera bump plate, and a single centered punch-hole selfie camera. If your phone has a large camera island housing four lenses, you have an S23 Ultra, not an S23+.

Battery, build & more

Battery: 4700mAh, supports wired fast charging, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. No charger is included in the box, only a USB-C cable.

Market positioning: A large-screen flagship alternative to the Ultra, without the S Pen or telephoto reach. It remains a solid resale candidate given the shared chipset across regions and Samsung's update support.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Go to Settings → About phone → Model number. This shows whether you have SM-S916 (US) or SM-S916B (international), and whether the phone is carrier-locked. The same screen usually lists storage capacity under "Memory" or "Storage." If the phone won't power on, check the model number and IMEI printed on the original box or the SIM tray.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Galaxy S23 Ultra?
Check the rear camera layout. The S23+ has three individual camera rings with no raised bump plate, while the S23 Ultra has four cameras and includes an S Pen slot at the bottom edge. The Ultra is also noticeably larger and heavier. If you're unsure, Settings → About phone will confirm the exact model.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes, in most cases. A cracked screen, a battery that no longer holds a full charge, or a phone that won't power on can still be accepted, and the condition picker above adjusts the quote accordingly. Before shipping, you must remove your Google account and disable any screen lock so the device isn't tied to Factory Reset Protection. A phone still locked to an account cannot be processed for payment.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Storage tier and screen condition matter most. A 512GB unit in good physical condition, with the original box or charging cable, will generally quote higher than a 256GB unit with cosmetic wear. An unlocked phone also tends to be worth more than a carrier-locked one, since it can be resold to a wider range of buyers.
05 How do I erase it and get paid?
Back up anything you want to keep, then go to Settings → General management → Reset → Factory data reset. Before that, remove your Google account under Settings → Accounts, and disable any screen lock or Find My Mobile setting so the device isn't locked to you. Once the phone is erased and your account is off it, ship it in using the free, insured shipping label. Payment goes out after inspection and testing, by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full steps are on the data erasure protocols page.
