"Samsung's S23s" is like saying "Apple's 14s". Apple's phone series is called iPhone, Samsung's phone series is called Galaxy.

You mean saying samsung 23 is like saying apple 14. It’s good enough to say S23 in a tech context

Just because the Galaxy models have a letter, doesn't mean it's good enough. Some iPhone models have letters too. No one says "Apple 14 Pro" so you shouldn't say "Samsung S23 Ultra"

I’ve referred to my phone as a “13 pro max” plenty of times.

“What kind of phone do you have?” “A 13 pro max.” “Oh cool I have an S22.”

Yeah, that's fair. Serves me right for trying to come up with a new headline.

The recognition of the galaxy name is not as big as apples iPhone though, and if it just said the 23s I’d have to take a few seconds to make sure I have the right phone and company in mind. For the general verge reader the title makes perfect sense.
