    Holy, this is such an amazing review, I'm definitely gonna take notes for my own channel. I like how you just approach the phone from a really real standpoint, not everyone is a tech UA-camr that gets the new phone every year, this covers those of us with less money to spend that also want a great phone! Let's get you monetized bro!

    Had the s23 for over a year if anyone is concerned i have experienced zero slow down, just as good as i bought it, the stats show the snap dragon gen 3 isnt really that much of a jump in performance/efficiency from gen 2 unlike the jump from gen 1 the improvments are mostly just the AI features built in to the chip.

      Yeah exactly. The S23 and S24 are very similar devices for sure. If you're looking to save money you may as well get an S23 since there's not much different, especially if you're getting a global variant (exynos on the S24, SD on S23). Thanks for your comment 😀

    Hey Oliver
    I'm confuse between s23 and iphone 13 and pixel 7 pro ?
    What would you suggest.....
    How's the camera on s23....

    • @fnkcgxgkgcfu
      @fnkcgxgkgcfu Місяць тому

      iphone 13’s cpu is too old compared to to the s23’s so its battery will last less but im not sure if apple’s optimizations help it last longer but its not worth it as the s23 has a 120hz display but the base iphone 13 keeps a slow 60hz display, pixel 7 idk ive never had one. I would choose the s23 for its value i would wait for the s25 to release so you can buy an s23 for cheaper, if you live in the us or canada and like rooting choose the pixel 7

      I'd suggest it if you're a fan of the OneUI 6 UI, I haven't really used Xiaomi first-hand but if you prefer how that feels go for it. S24 SD is very similar so you may as well get the S23 if you're looking to save money, but if the CPU/battery advantages benefits you go for that :)

      Performance on this phone is great same with cameras but just note for heavy SoT S-series phones might not be what you're looking for, unless you're happy with the Ultra? As per my testing I can get 4-6 hours combined use screen-on time but ofc it varies. Lucky for me I barely use any storage lol, so I'm quite comfortable with 128gb. Unfortunately new phones don't have an SD slot anymore, my a52s did which was always nice as a backup but yeah seems you just have to get a new phone if you need more space.

Me and my dad bought a54 black for my cousin and mother for way less with more ram and storage. I fell very riped off from buying my phone I payed way to much for my a53 which at that point is 1 year old. Currently I have two an oppo a9 2020 my old phone which had a shattered glass and a broken frame and a53 5g. I repaired my oppo as wanted my photos but unsuccessful. My oppo has 8gb ram while my a53 has 6gb . The difference is a lot I mean a lot. In my a53 I can maybe have 2 or 3 if I am lucky. In my oppo I have my entire thing. I checked my ram utilisation yea it way more than a53 . Plus it opens day to day apps faster. Plus I can have 2 to 3 days of battery life on my oppo as it is a secondary phone one downside is charging it is slow 2 or 21/2 hours to charge full. I am currently using my oppo to type this out as my Samsung is currently charging.
