Do all S23 smartphones suffer from the "banana" camera problem?
If so, it can't be considered the best phone.

All modern "best" smartphones have a nasty AMOLED screen with low-frequency PWM (or there low contrast is orders of magnitude worse than marketers say in the case of tricky "dc-dimming" schemes), the real resolution in color is sharply worse with the same declared as on IPS and much poorer color accuracy. Plus, 2 times the worst resource for burnout, but really not the best brightness on light topics. Plus, at the corners, the same Samsung tops have a greenish tint. What is not, for example, on the A series or on IPS.

Today there is no better smartphone, because. the best smartphone for the eyes is only a smartphone with IPS 1500:1+ and a set of key camera characteristics - 4k@60fps / f/1.7, with a bit rate of 100Mbps+.

Now find me at least one smartphone with IPS with 4k@60fps and such a bitrate in the mass segment - there are none. And AMOLED is bad for the eyes and has no advantage in daylight or office lighting.
