One UI 6.1 is now available for the Samsung Galaxy S23, adding in some of those fresh features slapped on the S24 series. Check out my S24, Plus & Ultra reviews for more on all that software shenanigans 😉
Just bought the regular s23 few days ago and I love it so far. Especially the size of it. I'm so tired of massive phones and TBF I wouldn't mind something even half an inch smaller. It's so comfortable to use
I also use it quite a lot including listening to podcasts and audiobooka for 7 hours a day. I've been up since 5am it's half 8 pm now and I have 41% battery left
@@RedKryptonitelEl_ there really is no need for a giant phone. This size is perfect to use on the go and at home you can just use a tablet if you need something larger. Had it for just over a week now and it's awesome
I'm loving my S23+, fits in the hand nicely, excellent battery life, camera is good enough if you don't need zoom, and gaming is sooooo goooooood. God I hated Exynos on my S21!
Exynos have ruined the galaxy phones for far too long. But tbh the previous snapdragon chips were made on samsung shitty node too. Moving to TSMCs superior node was a big improvement in performance and energy efficiency.
I'm currently using S20 Exynos and I feel you man. But I'm confused between S23 and S23+. Is 23+ too big in hands ? And is the battery good enough to last a day ?
Here in India galaxy S23+ is cost 94,999 INR and you pay this amount for a 1080p screen and just 393 ppi....yes you are right that's not 2010 anymore....
I have the S23 and love it. I just wish Samsung would include charger, case, headphones, etc. Just watched a video on the Redmagic 8 pro.....6.8 screen, 120hz, 12gb/256gb, 6000 mAh battery, gen2 processor, headphone Jack, case, and 45 watt charger included......$650!! Come on Samsung, gives us our money's worth!
@@arg7380 Awesome battery life, usually 40 to 50 percent at the end of the day, but I'm not a heavy user. The camera is great and I haven't noticed it allow down at all. I just wish it had S-pen support for drawing and notes.
I've just up(down?)graded from the S22 Ultra to the 256gb S23. My god this is the perfect phone. Battery life is excellent. Manageable size. No rubbish curved screen. Cameras are great. I've finally found the absolutely perfect phone. That Ultra is just so ridiculously huge. Never again.
I purchased the base s23 256gb also, and yes, the s23 is a perfect size for those of us who want a phone - not something that resembles a tablet lol. I would have maybe even shelled out the extra coin if they provided a smaller ultra model similar to apple's 14 pro at the 6.1 inch display size. That's one thing apple has going for them - the pro features on both the larger and smaller models.
Great review! Just bought S23 standard and waiting for it to get shipped. I always find it funny people mention how small 6.1" phone is but compared to my 5.8" S9 I think it'll be perfect.
I traded my z flip 4 for the s23 and it crushes it in every way, battery life is great 👍, have gotten over 7 hours of sot , very snappy, display is beautiful and cameras are much improved, got used to the size difference quicker than I anticipated, definitely recommend the S23 if you want something compact and powerful!
@@iLuseMy1v1s i like compact phone and s23 is just within my budget. But I was just worried about if the phone is too small to use for a long time.... Thanks for replying 😊
I had bought a S22+ just 3 months ago, but I wasn't too happy with the battery life. Due to the offer Samsung had for the new S23+ and using their return campaign, I basically bought the new S23+ and just had to pay 30€ more than what I had paid for the S22+. Battery life is great in the S23+. With my usage, the first full charge lastet almost 4 days. With the S22+, battery would go from 100% to 75%-80% just overnight. Really happy with the S23+ so far.
@@NicolasKeven I'm 99.9% sure he's financing to own the device. Samsung has a "Galaxy Forever plan" similar to Apple where if you're making payments on the phone you can upgrade to the latest device out for a charge of $25-30 USD.
@@NicolasKeven No, I'm not financing. I have an additional discount on Samsung's website (bcs I'm part of an association in the country I live in) and since they paid me 520€ for my S22+, overall, the upgrade just cost me about 30€. There was also an additional discount during the pre-sale, where they paid an extra 100€ if you'd use their return campaign.
My current phone is 6.4 inches and although I really want the S23 standard, after having a 6.4in screen for over 2 years I feel the standard would feel too small, so I've decided to opt out for + version, even though I'm a little worried it might feel too big! Overall everything I'm hearing about this series is amazing.
@@RA-yc9fb so I got myself the S23+ and honestly I love it. It doesn't feel too much larger than my 6.4! Sometimes when I'm one handing I can feel a little stretch in my fingers but it's not uncomfortable. I don't think I'll ever go larger than this, but it does great. It fits in my cup holder, pants pocket, and purse comfortably.
Can't believe that with all the improvements Samsung still can't take sharp action shots. For the price this shouldn't be an issue. Looking forward to the full reviews.
I've been an Android guy from day 1 but not specifically into Samsung. Now I am sold and I have bought the S23+ with 512GB. (promotion gave me double the storage for the same price). Loving it! Samsung made an iPhone with Android - if there is such a thing. RAM could have been a little bit more than 8GB in my opinion escpecially if you're planning on having the phone for 2-3-4 years.
Same thoughts. I also bought as well. The only mistake was buying s23. I thought I'll be more comfortable with s23 regular, but was wrong. S23 plus is the best for my hand feel. I'll just wait for the next phone and trade in for the plus model.
Did buy the Samsung Galaxy phones before, but miss the extras of the Samsung mid range features: 3.5mm audio jack, & FM radio, micro SD card. Then discovered the Infra Red controller offered by other brands, so Samsung no longer.
@@SuperKiko112 s10+ has 4100 mAh and s23+ has 4700 mAh capacity. so its only like a 600 mAh difference. obviously still have to charge it but i notice i last longer in gaming sessions compared to my old s10+
Considering an upgrade from my s21 It's 2 years old and performs just fine. But I will get a 350$ trade in towards the 23+ Just wanting a newer model Worth it?
Thank you for this. While the S23 Ultra is no doubt a fine device, most of us have neither the photography skills of Ansel Adams nor the bank account of Jeff Bezos to justify the cost. The S23 Plus definitely has my attention when it comes time to upgrade from my S20 FE. These old eyes need the larger screen, so the regular S23 is out of the running. BTW, just bought and started reading one of your books, Twin Towers Estate, The Riot Trilogy, Books 1-3. Really enjoying it! Would make a great TV series in the right hands.
I love my ultra but its not the most convenient device for my commute. I had to buy a new parka jacket just so It wouldn't have to go in my satchel & miss Imporant calls And the worst thing is when you drop it on your nose 😳
@@CDPA7 I have extremely small hands so anything more than 6.4 isn't for me My current phone is 6.5 and about 8.5 mm thick but it's still too much for me
Heard samsung wont have any + model. There will be S24 and S24U. So i assume they will make the S24 6.1 or 6.2. They are working to cram a 4800 mah battery in the S24.
This comment is on point. I'd Samsung A50s before the S23, it was 6.4, this is 6.1, if this would've been the same, so battery could've been even better.
i got the S23+ and i have to say its almost the perfect phone. The only thing missing is the SD card slot. Besides that i love the Flat Screen, Fast charging and the speakers
@@Jthall1990 True 25W on a 800$ phone in 2023 is a fking joke, these days even 200$ budget phones come with +30W charging speeds. What they honestly should've or should do is bring the 45W charger of the Plus and the Ultra to the base model and make a new +60W to the bigger flagships
@Nikko Arnado I couldn't have made a better decision it's just a little bigger but also just right for my small hands, which i was worried about, and now I'm use this screen size and don't think i can go back to a smaller screen.
As mich as I love Samsung dropping the quality of that beloved oled screen had me feeling a type of way. Its been over 6months since I switched from my s20 to the s22+, and the difference is still irreconcilable for me. I used to be in awe of the quality of the display everytime I used it. After over 10yrs, my next phone might not be Samsung.😔
Uncle Spurt, would you rather buy the regular s23 or the pixel 6 pro or pixel 7 pro? The 6 pro can do 85% of what the 7 pro can. I can buy a refurbished 6 pro for about $400 in America. Is the s23 worth it do you think?
I have used pixel 7 pro and currently using Samsung s23 hands down Samsung s23 is better , snapdragon 8 gen 2 is really good.The screen is fantastic,One UI is extremely customisable and has dex as well plus rn they are giving 256gb model for the price of 128gb along with some bank offers it's really good deal, pixel 7 pro doesn't hold a candle against this, it might be worth to you if you absolutely want stock Android and some AI features but IMO they are really not that important.
This guy is by far the best reviewer because he don't talk about a bunch of bullshit he gets straight to the point and that's what I like that's why this is my go-to reviewer
Refresh rate on S23 Plus is from 24hz to 120hz! Not 48hz! Enable Developer Option and you have the a toggle to show /hide refresh rate on screen! You will se there that the lowest refresh rate for S23 Plus is 24hz!
Man if they can get that S23 anywhere close in battery life to the iphone 13 (same size, smaller battery) that would be a real game changer. Hope the 8 gen2 delivers as promised and samsung doesnt mess up the software
I just got the s23 plus for $799 on amazon on sale last week. I also got $70 a month no interest financing. I got a poetic case. Im loving the phone its so fast and the camera is great.
The only difference between the two is storage option which is only 256gb only for s23 and up to 512gb for the s23 plus which is why they removed the micro sd card same goes for the ultra which can go to 1T. Its a shame since 256gb is already small in todays time specially apps getting bigger and bigger every update I remember COD Mobile is only 1gb in 2019 now its already 20gb.
@@7ish4m So ridiculous.. US should've gotten the 512 GB S23. If we do actually get it here in the US, I'll probably get it instead of the Ultra or the Plus.
I'm about to get the S23 tomorrow. My A71 is messed up after just over 2 years. It's stuck in Airplane mode and now after taking it into the Verizone store to swap sims, the sim no longer connects to the phone. So instead of getting it fixed and doing without a phone for however long, I'm just gonna get a new one. I'm choosing the S23 based purely on size. It's the smallest S model in several years. I'm totally over the large phone era, after having this A71 for 2 years to really test the waters. They just feel bad in my hands. I'm glad to see that the regular S23 is damn near the same size as the S7, my previous phone before the A71.
Went with the 23+. Very happy with it. Asked the Samsung rep at the store the difference between them all. He said if you want the size but don't care about the pen or just need the size. Go with the 23+.
Honestly the S23 seems like a bad deal when it costs more than Pixel 7 Pro, and that Samsung is trying to save even more on the base 128GB model with previous gen 3.1 storage... Imo this gen should have gotten a Telephoto camera upgrade and the 4.0 storage in ALL models. If that would be the case, I'd be interested in buying. They're clearly starting the Apple approach..
Hi Chris, finally the review I've been waiting for. Please help. I am at the end of my 6-years long journey with my beloved Oneplus 5 and urgently pick one of those: OnePlus11 or S23+ (regardless of their prices) Please advice. Thanks a million.
I was in a similar position as you last week. I was also a loyal oneplus customer looking to upgrade, and I picked the S23+. In terms of Hardware and price the Oneplus slightly edges out the Samsung phone (except for wireless charging), but the reason I chose Samsung is because oneplus has become really unreliable over the last few years for their software and support, and there's no way to know how it's going be going forward.
@@DarthSidious7 that’s totally been my thinking that I don’t know how reliable Oneplus is going to be in the future I’ve had the 1+6,9+7 pro but I ended up getting a Samsung S 23 because you know Samsung is going to have to do software updates and security patches in the coming years but one plus they’ve been all over the board even though they made a great phone with a 1+11. I wonder about future updates.
@@DarthSidious7 Thanks for your comment. How is full hd res on S23+'s big screen? I worry it wouldn't be crisp enough. Are you able to tell it is less crisp or is it not detectable at all?
i can get either the standard s23 or the s22 ultra for a comparable price. its my understanding the 22 ultra has a better screen and camera but the 23 has the processor. is this accurate? is the ultra still worth it if you dont care about the pen?
@MohamedAmiin25 if you use the pen..stuff happened thst effected my budget but I ended up getting the base 23 in May for the same price I was paying for s10 plus I could grandfather in all my perks (basically getting 20gb for the price of 3) cause my provider royally messed up when I was getting my 10. Been happy with it so far. Gf got the s24 plus a couple months ago and she loves it. So dumb out phones have the identical cameras though
thank you I'm not sure if I should do the s24+ I was just about to buy then I came up on your reviews I could save quite a bit now with new s23 that are still available
Thank you so so much for the video! Could you please let me know if the galaxy S23 has dual sim slot for sure in the UK? If it has a slot for two physical nano sims, can I use a nano sd card in the slot to expand the storage? Thanks so much in advance! 😊
Going to go from S22U down to S23. Can't wait for it to arrive. S22U is overall a great package, but for me it is very unwieldy and my battery is so bad :(
You left out one feature, dual recording is the director view. I have Note 20 that is much better than iphone 15 pro in comparison. I am thinking of getting an iphone 15. However, I compare camera spec and my note 20 5g is still better than iphone.
No bro there is no malware on android its just rumours by apple fanboys been on android for over5 to 6 years no malware no nothing and i download stuff from many third part stores,and do torrents
Old shoe laces, half empty Coca-Cola bottles and grungy used baby diapers. Samsung, saving the planet, one crappy baby diaper at a time. Cheaper? Do you have any idea how hard it is to find good used diapers?
I'm tempted to go from my S20+ to a S23. I'm just a bit worried that i won't like the big reduction of the size. Also, since the S23 has a lower battery capacity than the S20+ (3900 mAh vs 4500 mAh), will the S23 have an equal or higher battery life since it's using Snapdragon?
how do you like the size? thinking about the same ... plus is too big, regular too small and the FE ones haven't symmetrical bezels which looks ugly for me :D
All good options. ZenFone's camera is probably slightly weaker than those other two, but it also comes with a headphone jack which the other two don't. I'd pick whichever is best value for money which the amount of storage you need.
I'm coming from an s20fe. I'm wondering if I should get the S23 or the S23+. Ultra is too expensive and bigger than I'd like. I know the 23 is a tad smaller and the 23+ is a tad bigger than my current phone. Which one should I get?!
I am using amglass screen protectors on our two S23s and they work perfect! Very thin and installed perfectly with the applicator and pin like ups. On Amazon, 2 for $9!

Plus the faster changing speeds too. Why wouldn't Samsung give the smaller one the same changing speeds make no sense to me
@@Jthall1990 True 25W on a 800$ phone in 2023 is a fking joke, these days even 200$ budget phones come with +30W charging speeds.
What they honestly should've or should do is bring the 45W charger of the Plus and the Ultra to the base model and make a new +60W to the bigger flagships
no one gonna talk about the wacky ass doll or are we just gonna act like its a normal desk decoration to have?
Although the phone has lot of features, it uses pwm flicker display that can causes eye strain in many people.
Hey uncle Spurt, I'm torn between the regular S23 and the Zenfone 9. Is the battery life good enough from the S22 to compare it to the Zenfone 9?
Got the S23 myself, lovely green colour. Upgraded from S21 so was a decent upgrade for me. Love the size of the phone.
How about battery life?
@@jersondl4961 AMAZING
i felt the s23 was smaller than my s21 so i returned mine and decided to get the plus
@jaijay25 how do you feel about the size of the 23+ now that you've had it for a couple of months??
@Nikko Arnado I couldn't have made a better decision it's just a little bigger but also just right for my small hands, which i was worried about, and now I'm use this screen size and don't think i can go back to a smaller screen.
Personally I picked the regular 23 way more comfortable
As mich as I love Samsung dropping the quality of that beloved oled screen had me feeling a type of way. Its been over 6months since I switched from my s20 to the s22+, and the difference is still irreconcilable for me. I used to be in awe of the quality of the display everytime I used it. After over 10yrs, my next phone might not be Samsung.😔
Uncle Spurt, would you rather buy the regular s23 or the pixel 6 pro or pixel 7 pro? The 6 pro can do 85% of what the 7 pro can. I can buy a refurbished 6 pro for about $400 in America. Is the s23 worth it do you think?
I have used pixel 7 pro and currently using Samsung s23 hands down Samsung s23 is better , snapdragon 8 gen 2 is really good.The screen is fantastic,One UI is extremely customisable and has dex as well plus rn they are giving 256gb model for the price of 128gb along with some bank offers it's really good deal, pixel 7 pro doesn't hold a candle against this, it might be worth to you if you absolutely want stock Android and some AI features but IMO they are really not that important.
I have the Pixel 7 Pro. It's been ok. A little buggy at times. Screen even went black twice. Should I get the S23 or the plus?
@@vincentd8506 I would recommend wait for the S24.
pixel 6 and 7 pro are kinda underspecced in the performance department compared to s23.
if you want cameras then go pixel. but pixel soc is terrible
I only get the ultra for the status but i too miss smaller/slimmer devices.
Your hands will get tired from the ultra
This guy is by far the best reviewer because he don't talk about a bunch of bullshit he gets straight to the point and that's what I like that's why this is my go-to reviewer
So the s23 & s23+ exactly the same apart from the screen size and battery. I have got the 14 pro max so should I go for the 23 or 23+
Refresh rate on S23 Plus is from 24hz to 120hz! Not 48hz! Enable Developer Option and you have the a toggle to show /hide refresh rate on screen! You will se there that the lowest refresh rate for S23 Plus is 24hz!
Man if they can get that S23 anywhere close in battery life to the iphone 13 (same size, smaller battery) that would be a real game changer. Hope the 8 gen2 delivers as promised and samsung doesnt mess up the software
Some battery tests shown that the s23 is pretty much on par with the iphone 13 and 14 (iphone 14 might be better sometimes but thats by 10-20 minutes)
Nice review i was planning to buy those phone😊 and where do you get those cute anime wallpaper?
I thought you would show us battery usage in setting for both phone
S23 Plus treating me proper. I'm very pleased with this phone. The regular S23 looks like a banger too.
Battery life?
@@SuperKiko112 8 gen2 is very power efficient so dw the battery life is really good
Sir...
Which wallpaper is applied on G23...
Its looks good
My s23 plus should arrive any minute now and here I am watching all the unboxing and reviews about it...
Same!
So how is it so far?battery life?
@@SuperKiko112 based on my phone usage a full charge will last me about 1d 11hrs. 4hrs SOT (tiktok,reddit,ig) and full day listening on spotify.
I just got the s23 plus for $799 on amazon on sale last week. I also got $70 a month no interest financing. I got a poetic case. Im loving the phone its so fast and the camera is great.
Can you imagine if you got more education, better job and earn more money.. Just imagine..
@@andriandri732That's unbelievably rude thing to say. Have some decency.
The only difference between the two is storage option which is only 256gb only for s23 and up to 512gb for the s23 plus which is why they removed the micro sd card same goes for the ultra which can go to 1T. Its a shame since 256gb is already small in todays time specially apps getting bigger and bigger every update I remember COD Mobile is only 1gb in 2019 now its already 20gb.
Just FYI, the Base S23 is available in 512 GB in some regions (South Korea, China, Hong Kong etc)
@@7ish4m So ridiculous.. US should've gotten the 512 GB S23. If we do actually get it here in the US, I'll probably get it instead of the Ultra or the Plus.
Also s23 has sightly bigger bezels
Great review. Could I ask where you got your mobile display stand from? 👍🇦🇺
I'm about to get the S23 tomorrow. My A71 is messed up after just over 2 years. It's stuck in Airplane mode and now after taking it into the Verizone store to swap sims, the sim no longer connects to the phone. So instead of getting it fixed and doing without a phone for however long, I'm just gonna get a new one. I'm choosing the S23 based purely on size. It's the smallest S model in several years.
I'm totally over the large phone era, after having this A71 for 2 years to really test the waters. They just feel bad in my hands. I'm glad to see that the regular S23 is damn near the same size as the S7, my previous phone before the A71.
Friends, Plz share what is the best colour for S23?
Plz guide.. Thank you in advance!
I just ordered the plus, so excited. Thanks for this video!
I got the s23 plus very early because I preordered it and I love it so far, I got the green colour it's so clean and one UI is decent 👌
@sabrina jan yes 4k 60
Went with the 23+. Very happy with it. Asked the Samsung rep at the store the difference between them all. He said if you want the size but don't care about the pen or just need the size. Go with the 23+.
If he wasn't a clueless moron he would have mentioned that the 128GB S23 uses slow UFS memoru compared to the rest. You dodged a bullet.
Honestly the S23 seems like a bad deal when it costs more than Pixel 7 Pro, and that Samsung is trying to save even more on the base 128GB model with previous gen 3.1 storage... Imo this gen should have gotten a Telephoto camera upgrade and the 4.0 storage in ALL models. If that would be the case, I'd be interested in buying. They're clearly starting the Apple approach..
Hi Chris, finally the review I've been waiting for.
Please help. I am at the end of my 6-years long journey with my beloved Oneplus 5 and urgently pick one of those: OnePlus11 or S23+ (regardless of their prices)
Please advice. Thanks a million.
S23 + is way better than the OnePlus 11. U can watch some comparison videos here on UA-cam in order to understand the differences.
I was in a similar position as you last week. I was also a loyal oneplus customer looking to upgrade, and I picked the S23+.
In terms of Hardware and price the Oneplus slightly edges out the Samsung phone (except for wireless charging), but the reason I chose Samsung is because oneplus has become really unreliable over the last few years for their software and support, and there's no way to know how it's going be going forward.
Both perfectly good options and imo much of a muchness. Pick the one that's best value for money with the amount of storage you need.
@@DarthSidious7 that’s totally been my thinking that I don’t know how reliable Oneplus is going to be in the future I’ve had the 1+6,9+7 pro but I ended up getting a Samsung S 23 because you know Samsung is going to have to do software updates and security patches in the coming years but one plus they’ve been all over the board even though they made a great phone with a 1+11. I wonder about future updates.
@@DarthSidious7 Thanks for your comment. How is full hd res on S23+'s big screen? I worry it wouldn't be crisp enough. Are you able to tell it is less crisp or is it not detectable at all?
From where you get these wallpapers 🥺
How can i get this wallpaper
Nice review Mr. Ten Hag
Sir, may i ask where you get those anime wallpapers? Like a specific app providing them? I think it's really cool, cute and fancy looking 🐱
Is it worth buying the s23 or is it a good time to buy an s22?
S23 all the way
S22 has a kinda bad battery
S22 has a kinda bad battery
Is the s23 too small for those who have big hand?
Samsung are paying £290 for my P30 Pro so I've gone with the S23+. My Huawei is amazing so it'll be interesting to see how it compares.
I use a p30 Pro too, I love it. Just looking to upgrade now after ages. My screen is cracked but I'm reluctant to get a new phone
Did you ever end up getting the Samsung then? Any thoughts so far?
Great video. One question, is this s23 plus ideal for Uber eat delivery? I mean will this work really well on map, etc?
i can get either the standard s23 or the s22 ultra for a comparable price. its my understanding the 22 ultra has a better screen and camera but the 23 has the processor. is this accurate? is the ultra still worth it if you dont care about the pen?
Late reply but the ultra is way better
@MohamedAmiin25 if you use the pen..stuff happened thst effected my budget but I ended up getting the base 23 in May for the same price I was paying for s10 plus I could grandfather in all my perks (basically getting 20gb for the price of 3) cause my provider royally messed up when I was getting my 10. Been happy with it so far. Gf got the s24 plus a couple months ago and she loves it. So dumb out phones have the identical cameras though
The S23 is allmost a worthy small phone chanmpion... But i do hold the Zenfone 9 abit higher on the list.. It's been an insane daily driver :)
And it has headphone jack
@@boukimagash2083 yes, for those who likes that. :)
Where do you get your anime wallpapers?
Pinterest , maybe ....
thank you I'm not sure if I should do the s24+ I was just about to buy then I came up on your reviews I could save quite a bit now with new s23 that are still available
Great video! I just want the 100X zoom,is it worth get the ultra just for that?
max zoom here is 30x. i have the s22+ with same cameras and anything over 10x isnt really usable
@@secret1dentity thanks.
5:16 what movie is that?
Need advice. S23 or Vivo X80 Pro? Thanks ❤️
why did you say that the display is sharper in s23 regular although they has the same display
Because they both have the same resolution, despite S23 Plus screen being larger (6.1 vs 6.6 inch)
Thank you so so much for the video! Could you please let me know if the galaxy S23 has dual sim slot for sure in the UK? If it has a slot for two physical nano sims, can I use a nano sd card in the slot to expand the storage? Thanks so much in advance! 😊
storage is not expandable sadly!
How is faceunlock compared to iphone? remember s22 used to lag on facial recognition.
How about overheating? Have trouble with my Pixel 7 getting really hot and wondered if the Galaxy's handle heat better than Google does?
Oh, it is heating..... Especially while u r setting it up or copying data..
@@vladatuta1 Bummer man...
Where do you find you wallpapers, is it a App or some particular site?
5:56 name of this movie?
Phones can't stop being expensive it seems 🙃
Yeah well u don't have to buy their flagship, buy their midrange or budget option
Going to go from S22U down to S23. Can't wait for it to arrive. S22U is overall a great package, but for me it is very unwieldy and my battery is so bad :(
You left out one feature, dual recording is the director view. I have Note 20 that is much better than iphone 15 pro in comparison. I am thinking of getting an iphone 15. However, I compare camera spec and my note 20 5g is still better than iphone.
Great review uncle spurt! I'm thinking of upgrading my exynos S21 to this S23 but it's kinda pricey so I might hold on to it till it drops a little 😅
Next time I upgrade I may go for the Plus version instead of the Ultra one. I'll miss the curved screen but I find the Ultra models too heavy.
Curved screens are gay
I’m switching from iPhone XR to the 23+. Do I need Norton or a different kind of malware to keep my phone safe?
No bro there is no malware on android its just rumours by apple fanboys been on android for over5 to 6 years no malware no nothing and i download stuff from many third part stores,and do torrents
I fell in love with the Samsung S 23 + 💕💕💕
How about the display and eye protection?
Ah best girl at 1:06 from Demon King McDonald's anime.
I’m about to switch over to the s23+ from the iPhone 14 pro .. I’ve had apple products for a long time .. just ready for something new
Where did you get that cell phone stand from?
Excellent comparison video.
If they're using recyclable items shouldn't the phones be cheaper? 🤨
Old shoe laces, half empty Coca-Cola bottles and grungy used baby diapers. Samsung, saving the planet, one crappy baby diaper at a time.
Cheaper? Do you have any idea how hard it is to find good used diapers?
I'm tempted to go from my S20+ to a S23. I'm just a bit worried that i won't like the big reduction of the size.
Also, since the S23 has a lower battery capacity than the S20+ (3900 mAh vs 4500 mAh), will the S23 have an equal or higher battery life since it's using Snapdragon?
how do you like the size? thinking about the same ... plus is too big, regular too small and the FE ones haven't symmetrical bezels which looks ugly for me :D
I think the comparisons should be done after the phones have been loaded upto brim with apps or games so that they can compare the speed tests
Agreed.
I have the download, install, and download more disease. I need each app for something but later can't really remember why.
I opted for the S23 Plus this time around. I found that I rarely used my S-Pen for the S21 Ultra and I prefer flat screens.
Battery life?
@@SuperKiko112 Excellent!
Which one would you suggest, please?
S23 -- ZenFone 9 -- Xiaomi 13
S23 5 year sorfware. Zen only 2 years 🤦
Xiaomi reliability issues
All good options. ZenFone's camera is probably slightly weaker than those other two, but it also comes with a headphone jack which the other two don't. I'd pick whichever is best value for money which the amount of storage you need.
Imo stay with Samsung. More reliable and longer sorfware support.. 👍
I am mostly afraid of battery life of s23
I've had a few Samsung Galaxy phones in my day and if i were to pick one of the S23 models it'd be the S24 ➕️
I've been using the 13 pro max for a few years now, recently upgraded to the s23+. Is it worth it?
Yes s23 better then iphone
I'm coming from an s20fe. I'm wondering if I should get the S23 or the S23+. Ultra is too expensive and bigger than I'd like. I know the 23 is a tad smaller and the 23+ is a tad bigger than my current phone. Which one should I get?!
What did u decide?
@@shreyar927 I got a fake 23+ off eBay... So I switched to Verizon and got a brand new S24+
What about the ultra Sonic finger print scanner after installing tempered glass ??
I am using amglass screen protectors on our two S23s and they work perfect! Very thin and installed perfectly with the applicator and pin like ups. On Amazon, 2 for $9!
So it supports dual physical sims?
