      ​​@@PalmDevsn flagships, there isn't any bloatware, only Samsung apps, which every device has it.

      Not to mention even then, you can just uninstall.
      Out of those in reality only few like Samsung TV,Samsung Members and Samsung Store (not galaxy store) are the only ones need to be Uninstalled.

    Upgraded to S23+ from iPhone SE 2020 3 months ago and this is the best phone I've ever used. The battery life is surreal, it last like 26-27 hours with fully charged. Also being able to customize everything on the homepage makes it feel much more personal. The only serious problem I noticed, when you shoot with 50MP mode it always shifts all colors in the frame to yellow tones. Also I dont know why Samsung just doesnt get rid of vivid mode for display and color correct all photos and every other thing in the UI.

      He means it's common for the face unlock to kick in without you realizing, so you'll keep pressing against the fingerprint sensor until you realize it's not scanning anything and you must swipe up to unlock.
      It would be way faster if it just skipped the lockscreen by touching the sensor area, if it's already recognized your face

      no....tech reviewers say it's not necessary.... better turn it off cus the processor would take it from there acting like the main ram rather than it's actual ram and it may cause lag.... i have experienced that on my s23u.... like why would it lag at 12gb ram right? .... then i listened to what they said and it's all good again....the ram plus is an android os thing not of one ui stock...

With the asus zenfone 10 i beleive its design is inferior and the spin on android is (mind my language) quite ugly, i dont see many advantages to the zenfone than the s23. About the xiaomi, i think its quite good it is a solid competitor to the s23 HOWEVER that said the design isnt great, thr privacy issues i talked about before and the inferior custom android rom.

      The zenfone has only 2 years OS updates and 4 years security. For me security is the important one, so only one year less.
      Performance is the same (same chip, even with the slight "Galaxy Edition" advantage),
      battery life is superior on the Zenfone (every other review hasn't been this positive about the battery life of the S23),
      Cameras is subjective (I know I like the photos from Asus more due to MKBHDs blind test last year),
      and personally the Zenfone looks a lot nicer and interesting.
      The ecosystem of Samsung is a big advantage for them, but that depends on if you want that or not.
      The xiaomi isn't even an option on my list since it's more likely to be sending your data to the Chinese government, meaning now both your government and china knows what you're up to ;)
      I'll probably be going with the Zenfone since it has slightly faster charging speed, now has wireless charging and looks cooler.

      @@l.3386 Flat panels make a difference because you don't have to worry about accidentally touching the screen, which is what can happen when your phone has a curved display.
      The other reason why flat displays make a difference is because they're usually easier to replace than curved displays...which means they're usually cheaper to repair too.
      And the other reason is phone cases/screen protectors. Curved displays can be a pain to find decent cases and screen protectors for because manufacturers have to put more effort in to accommodate the display's curvature into their screen protectors/cases and it can sometimes end up costing more to find a decent case/glass screen protector that will actually protect the display.
      Having a flat display saves you all of these little problems. I've even noticed that Samsung themselves has reduced the curvature of the display on the S23 Ultra compared to the S22 Ultra.
      Having a flat display just makes your life easier...but that's my opinion. Ultimately, it's up to you.👍

    The S23 is a niche product that sells poorly but has a loyal following. The iPhone Mini sold more than this and Apple dumped that as it was not worth making. From the latest sales stats, it is selling poorly, about as bad as the S23+ which is rumoured to maybe discontinued in the next 1-2 years. It is not necessarily because of how good it is, because it is solid, it is because the market has changed. Consumers that want the best will buy the Ultra (Pro on iPhones) and those that do not need the best will get something cheaper, as the S23 at £899 is way too much for what you get versus lower mid-range devices. Apple is seeing the same with their base iPhones.
    From my experience, it is the best compact phone out there, although that is feint praise as it has little competition. The Zenfone 10 arriving soon may usurp that though. With sales so poor, and Samsung reducing supply to save having warehouses full of unsold stock as they had with the S22 line, it does mean deals are not as healthy and I could only recommend this with a massive deal.
