Samsung Galaxy S23 1 Year Later! In this video, I share with you my in-depth review of the Galaxy S23 after 1 Year and now that the price is discounted, let's discuss if you should go with this or S24! Share your thoughts, questions, and comments below!
@nickackermanchannel Can you do nothing phone 2 in 2024 for a next video?
I gonna buy s23, s24 with exynos may be a step back.
How is the battery life after a year?
Fantastico s23 ❤
No banana bluer issues on s23 ?
Watching on my S23, it feels like it didn’t even age. ❤
For real like did it come out yesterday? Lol
Sir, does this phone drop its quality while uploading story or pic/profile pic on social media like Facebook or Instagram?! Please reply sir.. I am waiting for your reply😊😊
Same here i just love my s23 ❤
Same for me!
So simple yet beautiful ...
I'm glad you're posting this vid while everyone is posting about S24!
fkin n👨🏿💀. im 'mixed' btw
Having picked up my S23 almost a week ago, I thought I did a mistake not waiting for the S24 unveiling event.
But since this year what Samsung did is a "copy/paste" job, I can say I was right.
I saved a lot of money too.
Thank you for the effort, Nick.❤️
don't worry bro you'll get the ai features later on
Big mistake. S24 has 0.1 inch bigger screen. You're missing out on 0.1 inches of screen while having same size phone!
I like the S24's slightly boxier design a little more than the S23's...But I don't think that's worth 200 more lol. Even tho, I could get the 256GB version of the S24 with some personal discounts from Samsung for only 100 euros more. Then the S24 becomes more interesting.
@@emmanuelezeagwula7436they will come on the 23 series as well so....
What you should have done , is to pick up that phone after the release of the new model, that way you could have gotten the phone with a reduced price....
So you have made a mistake in that regard
Bought it in April,2023. Brilliant, brilliant phone. Glad to have bought the last Samsung compact flagship on Snapdragon😅. Dodged a bullet there. Phone is smooth as ever. Trying the Niagara launcher for the past month, still runs smooth.
which one is better, Snapdragon on S23 or Exynos on S24?
@@muhammadrazikani7951 I am going for the s24 I finally decide about 2 days, there are more videos rn about the s24 battery life drain, so I think I'm going for the s24 exynos, also because that one gives 7 years of software and s23 rn 3 years, and I want to do longer dan 4 years with t he phone
@@muhammadrazikani7951 Qualcomm Snapdragon all the way. Samsung has yet to redeem themselves with an Exynos chip that provides equal or better (but that's pretty much unachievable for them) performance to the current generation's flagship from Qualcomm.
@@eclipseAstra1015 tsmc vs samsung foundry is the answer.+ the superior Qualcomm modem
@nachiketdaithankar4405 hI, HOW is the battery life now?
I purchased a new s23 a month ago based on this review (and a couple others) and I do not regret it. Thanks for the trustworthy content. 👍
Do u recommend it today for buying
Hey what about battery
@@rajukn9546
I think it's got a great battery life. Last longer than my s21 FE did. It lasts All day with normal use. I spend a lot of time checking Facebook, watch a couple UA-cam videos, pay my bills, etc... Unless you're heavy gaming I don't think it's going to be a problem at all.
The S23U is the first phone I've ever preordered + got on day one and it's honestly been the best phone I've used. It's so incredibly consistent and the battery is still insane. I might keep it for the full 4 years because I don't wanna risk a newer phone being worse lol
You are the reason I bought my S23 and it is the best phone I have used. So thank you for the recommendations, your reviews are really helpfull. For almost a year of usage it only got better and I expect it to improve even further. Just keep making those videos because they are an instant click and like for me.
Still the same opinion?
@@suhritareddy Yeah nothing changed for me. Still a great device with excellent battery and performance. Hope oneui 6.1 makes it even better.
@@MikeyPops does the phone having heating issue for medium usage (watching UA-cam/TikTok) or gaming for 20+ minutes? a lot of reddit topics on the s23 series were on that problem, I'm contemplating on buying the s23+ 🙇🏻♀️
@@googleprovider7957i have the plus, my phone never gets hot even when i game.
How about the heating?
I bought the Galaxy S23+ on march 2023 because the Ultra is too big for me and the S23 is too small.
It doesn't even feel like almost a year has passed, it's still buttery smooth running on Android 14 OneUI 6.0.
I wanted to Upgrade to the S24+, but Samsung has put Exynos chip instead of the Snapdragon 8gen3 on the S24 and the S24+ models outside of USA and Canada.
I couldn't be more happier as I no longer want to upgrade anymore, instead, I wanna keep using my S23+ for another 3~4 Years (as long as Samsung supports it)
Highly disappointed by Samsung's cheap Exynos move this year and I believe this will keep many consumers from getting the S24 and the S24+ this year.
Excellent Video Nick. 💓
Yeah, they really downgraded the processor and seemed to just add the ai stuff. I don't see myself using all those features, and samsung has always been hit or miss with me.
@@jbuddyman you can buy the ultra if you want snapdragon, or if you live in US or Canada, you can go for any of them
Still buttery smooth with the 6.1 update?
@@frostyjeff even more butter after the 6.1 update. Holy moly, Only the iphones were this smooth few years ago.
I have just ordered the s23 because of the chip the s24 comes with a exynos chip and all s23 comes with the snapdragon so I have gone with something that has been tried and tested
What conclusion u reached would u recommend s23 for buy
Watching on my tab s8+, I got the s23 as well after using the a52 since it's release date, I got my tablet mainly for school and for watching movies and videos at home but it's what got me into the flagship hype and I will never switch back to midrange devices if I'm honest
Still don't regret pre-ordering this phone a year ago and getting the galaxy buds 2 pro as a preorder bonus
The EU version of S24 with its Exynos chip is probably not going to be much better than the Snapdragon 8 gen 2, and the S23 is still a great option.
I bought this week S23 because of the Exynos in S24. Basically the same phone for less money 👍🏻
How is battery performance??
Using it since march (same as yours, green 8/256), best smartphone I've ever had and I think it's going to stay with me for a long time.
I have bought the same variant with same color just yesterday. Coming from the dreadful a53, it feels amazing to use such a beast of a phone.
How's the battery 🔋 ?
@@deepakpanchaal I've been using it since April, the battery is still perfect. I just came back from a 24h shift with 20% left, not using any Wi-Fi, only 4/5G, listened to a lot of music on breaks and scrolled on social media a lot. (I left home with 90% battery).
Absolute gorgeous piece of tech. Unfortunately, i can only afford the a34
I was waiting for the s24, but in EU it doesnt come with snapdragon, so i just bought the s23/256gb for 580€. Such an amazing machine !
I’m planning to upgrade my current phone iPhone 8 plus but im not sure if I should get S23 or iPhone 13 pro can you help me ?
thx i just bought it right now i had so many doubts. your work is awesome
Same, i just bought it today .. cant wait to use it
same as me bro
i decide not to buy S23Fe or S24 for only 1 Reason is "Exynos" cuz i got bad experience from my old Galaxy A51
i know Exynos is now have improved but i prefer Snapdragon than Exynos
Been using S23 from March 2023 and it still fleels like as new as it was on the first day. Snappy, appropriate size dan weight. Will be riding this phone untill new more advanced tech comes out
Still waiting s23's price drops a bit more. So i will buy one before summer
What's the price
Great video Nick 👍🏻
Bought 2 weeks ago! Upgrade from s21+ it's smaller but man the grip is so nice! ❤
how is the battery life?
@@mahtwog4964 5-6 hours of screen on time. Average battery life not that great like Asus zenfone 10 for example
i have s 23 and it's awesome... You never think that screen isn't enough, battery doesn't last long, or camera isn't flagship. the phone's a beast. Samsung has rolled AI in this model in India too. so there's literally no difference b/w this and s24 now...
Still using my S21 5G with the 888 still fast and superb. Although android 15 might be it's last update.
Same here, will go with 25 series next year
What is the font you are using in this S23?
What are your thoughts about the ram plus are you using it?
just got an S23 this week to replace my - drum roll - S8+. previous phone much bigger so I was a little disappointed at first, but I am liking the S23 more and more, especially after watching this video. thanks for the great review.
Right on! You're doing something great for the environment and I hope that your new phone lasts you just as long!
What's about the battery and heating control??? please tell
Great video, What font are you using on this device?
Default font from Samsung
i'm about to pick up this phone next week. Thanks for your video!
Did you bought device?
Did you buy it?
@@thepriestofvaranasi yes i bough it
@@aayushx1610 how was the battery life? Screen on time?
Nick here with the best content 💪🏻
Try parasyke tv. It will blow your mind.
Great video. Funny, I've waiting several monthsher to get the s24 but doing a strong comparison for the last couple days I really think I prefer the s23 especially since I don't really care about the AI features. I think the s23 is nicer overall. Better look and design. The black color is nicer on the s23 than the black color on the s24. Also I like the round corners and the round edges on the frame better. I know the width is the same but for some reason this phone just seems thinner which I prefer. I know these vessels are a little larger but I don't think it's a bad thing because I can't reach the edge of the screen anyways especially once you have a case on.
I got the S23 around september and no regrets. The phone is awesome and supersmooth and customizablity with theme park is amazing. The phone is almost perfect for my needs.
Dp you recommend it buying Today
Dp you recommend it buying Today
@@suhritareddy if you get eyxnos locally, yes
@@suhritareddy I do, since one ui 6.1 you've gotten almost all AI features from the S24s and the lock screen widgets. So is basically a cheaper S24 with no lack of quality
@@ykjali thanks for the update! I got one today.
Awesome content watching with my 23 plus bro
There is any heat issue on s23+ & it's battery life Bro?
Just got the S23, really enjoying it so far 😊
I waited for the s24 come out but I think I'm going to get the s23 as well. Lol.
been wanting this phone for a while... concerned with the size ...i went looking for s23 plus was'nt available in 1st hand especially in India ... what's ur thoughts on the sise?
Is there any difference between S23 online exclusive and regular s23 (except the colour), because I am using online exclusive and I feel so
Upgraded to s24+ from s22 regular but returned it and gona go with s23.
Dont want to go through exynos horror again where i cant use my phone outside in sumer.
Snapdragon everyday.
Although i admit the s24+ was beautiful and felt perfect in my hand.
Can you share the link of the tempered glass used?
Great vid Nick. I have a 15 pro max and an S23+ and I love the s23+ but imo it’s been a little bit laggy at times. Not really that bad but it isn’t the smoothest. I’m excited that the s24+ has 12GB and hopefully should help with the smoothness
I noticed this too. However I decided to go back to button navigation after many years of swipe gestures, and the UI feels s,other with button navigation. It's not a ram issue, it's optimization.
Did you try by disabling RAM Plus? That feature causes stutters in the UI and apps sometimes
Sometime i experience when im typing the space button did not work?someone experience like that?
@@GElectr0n I turned it down to 4GB, and it's smoother now but yeah I guess try turning it all the way off
I've just ordered this one after my Fold 3's flex cable started to act up and showed me why Folds only make sense if you are planning to trade it in when the new one comes out. Hoping to have this phone for many, many years without issues. The CPU seems to be solid in terms of both power & heat management, OS updates are good, Samsung offers solid cameras and features.
This is by far one of the best phones that i've had. In hand feel, the screen to body ratio, everything. If not for the guaranteed 50% discount promotion when you trade in an s23 to an S24 series, I wouldve stayed. But getting the s24u on the 12/512 variant with a massive massive discount is such a no brainer for me. I only paid about 18% of the original price of the s24u 12/512 with a free watch that I'll sell to close out the 18% payment of the total.
how much screen on time are you getting? i hope atleast 6h
How about the "banana gate" effect? Is it still a problem for some devices?
Watching from a s23 now on day 1 for me. Just WOW. what a device
How's it worth buying
Still worth buying now?
I got my S23 8/256gb in November 2023 rite when One UI 6.0 came out and I love it and I heard Samsung is going to release One UI 6.1 with most if not all the AI features for the S23 series and tab S9 series so I'm happy.
Bueno, la verdad no entendí nada ya que nose inglés pero al ver los comentarios en inglés y traducir a español la experiencia del Samsung s23 después de un año sigue funcionando muy bien gracias por el video nuevo suscriptor.
😅
Glad I bought s23 2days back I was really happy for Selection of this beast❤
Would u recommend buyung
@@suhritareddy yes i also bought it 2 days back
What about the banana blur issue? And about wireless charge?
I currently have the s23 ultra, hands down best phone I've ever owned!!
Could you do a comparison between this s23 vs s22 ultra. they are the same price on Amazon on my country
Needed a second line for when I travel and didn't want to pay for another iphone pro so I got this new for $325. I honestly like it a lot and there's so much I can do with it that I'm thinking of keeping it for a while.
Nice video bro ❤
There's ppl talking on Reddit that the quality of pics on the s23 has been degraded by software by Samsung bc the s24 was coming out. There are people showing pics before and after the latest oneUI update recently. Have you noticed any changes in camera quality when you first got the phone and now?
my phone s23, my brother bought S24, i will test what you said
@@fatihkoklu How did it go?
yes, i felt the downgrade on the camera@@slickrick2420
Yes pictures have got better
People complain about not having more than 256gb storage, but I can't imagine needing more than that. It's probably more than enough for the vast majority of people.
I just ordered the S24, after spending 5 years or so with the S9+. I was ready for the upgrade and the AI features are extremely dope! No regrets on my order.
Ai is coming to the 23 soon the only flagship can handle it
Was in a BB other day and compared s23 to S24 and 24 plus. Immediately noticed that s24 display was washed out on both. Even the wallpaper seemed to highlight that. Spoke to the in-house Sammy rep and he said that was true. Although he later walked it back. So basically walked out liking the S23 as its display was much more vibrant. Isn’t that display a main reason to buy a Galaxy. Just wondering your thoughts about the display vibrancy as compared between the s23 and s24.
Exactly, bro I also compared hand to hand S23 and S24 the display on S23 was looking way sharp and better and that's really TRUE,
If someone can helping me... When I charge my s23 until 85% I look the battery drain fall until 80 very fast after I think the phone start to do better managment..
The battery has issue?spent 1%every 4 5 minute
I'm gonna wait for a very sweet deal and buy the cream color one! How much does the OS take in terms of system storage?
Same i loved the cream one will get anytime soon
Does this phone have the random screen freeze that the s21 has?
Guys I need help. Should I go for Galaxy S24 or wait for Xiaomi 14 Global? I hate that Samsung used same cameras for S24 as S23...
All galaxy are awesome even s10e which I had when launched but broke the camera lense and asurion didn't cover camera lense so I traded it in for s21 ultra another beautiful beast but when s23 ultra launched traded s21 ultra for 23 ultra .such a beast no problems ever and stays cooler when gaming❤❤❤❤❤
Just picked up a new sealed box S23 to replace my older S21 at half of the original retail price when launched. Pretty happy with it. I normally purchase a new phone a year after so that I can get better price with a stable and optimized software. I'll probably look for S25 or S26 for the next upgrade.
How's 23 would u recommend
@@suhritareddy worth every penny. Absolutely recommended if one doesn't wanna spend more on the newer S24.
I bought the S23 a year ago because of snapdragon chip here in europe. We usually get Exynos :(
For Europeans S23 is a golden gem just because it got Snapdragon. S24 is back to Exynos. Imagine that S23 runs about 15% longer than S24 while costing less, so previous gen phone is significantly better than current gen... this is ridiculous! Samsung really loves f*ing us here in EU 🥲
Not only EU bud, the snapdragon versión is only avaliable in china and usa.
Also in india bruh
Hi Nick, I have a stupid question. Would a regular stylus (with a rounded squishy end, they sell everywhere) work on the S24 and S24+?? I have severe arthritis so I NEED to use one for texting, making selections, 😮and general typing. I can't find anything online, and I do not want that tiny s-pen... HELP this old lady, PLEASE & THANK YOU! 😊
It should! Those work with any touch screens because they mimic your finger :)
Currently on S23 since August.. considered going to S24+ just for the Qhd bigger screen.. but here in India it runs on Exynos.. so finally decided to let the S24 series pass. The S23 runs like a breeze with 1.5 days battery backup with my usage. Personally I feel the S24 series is a namesake upgrade..even the s24 ultra is a minor upgrade compared to the 23ultra...
please dont fall for the ads and publicity from Samsung. Save your money for the S25!🤔
Hows the real battery backup i.e. normal usage in home and in office, like normal calls, whatsapp, youtube and some other stuff. Not heavy usage.
Theres is rumor all s25 variant will be using exynos 😂
1.5 days is too much
@@nitish.7042 with that kind of usage.. which is my actual usage pattern, I easily get more than a day... I charge at 6am everyday.. left with 30-40% at 6am next day..
S23 from yesterday. Such a powerfull device. Android iPhone. No bad word at all. Lots of configuration, lots of functions (i used iphone for 2 years and my latest android was 9). Huge progress in Android.
which betar s24 exynos or s23?
Hey I am facing 2 issues though after the one UI 6.0 update. Battery drain and 50mp camera oversaturate pictures. Any solution or recommendations for this
I'm not sure but I have the s10e and I noticed my camera has been fuzzy the last year.
Gotta say I agree with all the points mentioned, just a decent solid phone and battery life especially if upgrading from the S21 like I had, the battery life is much better.
Watching on my year old s23.the best phone ever made.
How does it compare to the Google Pixel 8?
Watching on s24... How you get the extra brightness toggle!?? I can't find it in mines
Go to settings and then display. The option that says adaptive brightness tap it and you will see the extra brightness option appear.
Will it get the AI features like s24?
Just ordered a s23 from amazon renewed for 479, in supposed excellent condition
Currently watching this vid on S23 ❤️❤️❤️
Can i use this phone for 5 years without laggy? Can u answer this? I dont play games on phone btw
My sister wants to give me her s23 + its almost a year old but will it be better than the s24?
You have the most iPhone icon layout on Android: just icons from top. I never have camera app as I just double-press a side button. Previously on Motorola I used a gesture for it, never an icon.
i bought it just two days ago .. phone gets hot on intensive tasks like gaming, 25w charging , video recording at 8K getting uncomfortable to hold on the top part of the phone . no noticeable heating on light usage.
anybody facing this any tips to overcome
👍 Agreed, I got the s23 128GB 2 weeks back for 510$ here in India with credit card discount and my vivo iqoo 7 trade in option 😁
How's battery backup?
@@serialchillaxer 7 hrs SOT on an average on medium usage

I just got one of these so far I'm loving!
Which colour is the best?. I'm thinking of black or cream maybe..
I'm about to get one this week upgrade from s10e phone lol.

Glad it helped!

Watching this videos in my galaxy s23❤
Copped mine about 2 weeks ago in that awesome deep green colour, all I can say is that this phone is a gem. Upgraded from my A51
Wow i really love this video.
Love my S23 1 year on also. Perfect spec and size, cant fault it. Use as personal and work phone and left work issue phone in box.
Bro what about battery?
@saeedmohamed5893 great battery life, no problems. On all the time and almost get 2 full days.
I have had my S23+ for a year, I am very happy with it so far. My only complaint would be the zoom quality seems really bad. Maybe it's me. Am I missing something?
I think they slowed down the phone with the February update. Apps don't open as smoothly as in this video.
I have an s10+ should i get the s23?
And o Just startint to save to buy mine, I really like the green one
not a samsung fan but I may consider switching to it in the near future. Both apple and Samsung are amazing, just I grew up with being used to using an iPhone, lol
Nick, are you going to make a s23 Ultra vs S24 Ultra speed test ?
I plan on it before I send it out for trade in
@@nickackermanchanneldo please
as a person who currently using s23 for 6 months its a great phone. dont buy s24 buy s23 plus better batery and big screen . need a small phone buy s24 or s23 (have money then go for s24 snapdragon dont buy xynos s24)
I bought the s23 a week ago and so far everything is great except the battery idk it last less than 5-6 hours it says it's supposed to last around 10 so Idk if its just my phone. Any tips on how to get a better battery without lowering the refresh rate?
Just got my s23, my first flagship phone. I used it for just a while and i felt that it was a bit warm going to 41°C and the battery was draining a bit fast. Does it need time to optimize the battery?
Yes for sure, it needs to adapt to your style and that takes like 2 weeks i believe.
it always gets warm (especially when using mobile data at high internet trafficking times or when the room temp is high)
Go to device care- performance profile then switch to light. It fixed the battery drain without sacrificing performance one bit for me.
@667nikhil Dark mode will always help a little bit too. Using mobile data always makes the phone get hotter compared to wi-fi. I've been having the same problem on my S10e. I don't have Wi-Fi anymore so I've been using mobile and it's always hot. Have to get Wi-Fi asap.
Trying to upgrade this week. I think I prefer the s23 over the s24.
I'm considering getting a S23+ this spring, i think is still a good purchase
as a S23 user wanna talk about battery little. Got 7-7.5 hours screen time with 40 hours wait time, ı charge one time in one day and ust phone like 3-4 hours in a day. it will drain %4-5 battery in night time and this was only %2-3 in android 13 dont know why but android 14 drain more battery when screen off time.
