What CompareTab says about Samsung Galaxy S23 vs POCO F9 Ultra

It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (200 MP versus 50 MP), a higher-resolution front camera (32 MP versus 12 MP), and 100W charging. Samsung Galaxy S23, however, is lighter at 168 g versus 235 g and thinner at 7.6 mm versus 8.74 mm.
