I think the reg s23 .... The 23 plus is way too much money for what it offers. It's just a trap on trying to get you to upgrade to the ultra... Ultra cameras the battery is less. The screen is rest but the price is over. A thousand should not be bought
One thing I'd like to see a reviewer do: A reviewer putting the different phones in and out of their pockets using different pants lol. Feels like a huge thing that nobody is doing.
Right? Why do companies put all that awsome features only for gigant smartphones. I can't understand apart from profesional use why would You beneffit with that size... If You want a Big screen just Buy a tablet, My gosh hahaha I wish that we can see in the near feature a phone with this exact size and with full camera capavilities as the bigger versions
S23 for me, I like the smaller form factor and I'm overall happy that they finally decided to go with Snapdragon across the board and with no Exynos variant.
Just bought my S23 as my daily driver. It's a small but mighty phone 😊 My main phone is also a Galaxy phone ie. S22 Ultra. I love the Samsung ecosystem 😊 from tablets to wearable. Hopefully soon a Galaxy Laptop 🙏
I love the size of the s23 , I think it would be very comfortable to hold . Also love how you are one of the few creators who actually care about unboxing the smaller variant !
Masterphone i get 7hrs SOT even a little more with draining from 85% (Battery charging protection on) to 15% that's crazy for such a small phone so in the end, it's a small handy pocket friendly beast! 👊👊
I wanted to pick the S23 Plus in Green because it was the sweet spot for me, but they were out of stock, so I ended up getting the regular S23 (256GB) in Green and it still gives all of the premium feel quality and flagship features, but only the difference is the display being smaller, less resolution because of the 1080p panel but is still a gorgeous display, battery is definitely noticeable from the S23 Ultra, but the S23 still gives me 6 or more hours of Screen time when doing moderate use with light gaming sessions at high graphics. The camera is still grear despite not having the 200mp camera. It still gives nice-looking photos in daylight with great focus and color. Ram and storage are adequate for this small device. Overall, even if you are picking the most basic S23 from the lineup, you are still getting a great device that comes with everything that you need for a flaghship device but in a smaller and confortable size. You don't lose a lot with the S23 except for the bigger battery, bigger display, faster charging, and faster storage combined with higher ROM for the base model.
I did like the design of my s22,but now I've got the s23 I really do love it 😍. Very sleek minimal design and definitely notice the battery improvement 😁
@@DionMedia thank you for some focus on the s23. Most UA-camrs ONLY focus on the ultras and don't realise there is a massive following for the more compact phone. And speaking of the ultra,the last great ultra was the s21 ultra as the other two are "notes". Keep up the great work ☺️
@@lenacheney I've noticed a massive improvement for my use. 8hrs 20mins screen on time 20hrs 15mins screen off time This was with 20% battery left. Honestly the only thing I'm not doing is gaming,but everything else I use as intended 🙂
looking to buy an s23 in a couple months as soon as the price drops. Thinking about the colors between green or black. White doesnt stand out bcz of the slight yellow making it feel older.
Give us a direct comparative test of the batteries S21 vs S22 vs S23 so that we can see how much better the S23 is and whether it is better at all, because in my opinion it is not better than the S21 and S22 in terms of the front part because it has thicker edges around the screen.... finally give that comparative battery test on these 3 models, let's see if it's better or if you're all just spinning empty stories, no one should take it upon themselves to do a real battery test.
I just traded my iPhone XS for the S23 after 4 yrs. It’s in transit now and I’m excited. I had the s8+ before the iPhone and I missed using android Samsung but my family are iphone users.😊
The only downside is the fingerprint scanner. It sucks. I have gotten used to entering my 6 digit password that I can do in like 1 second. But I would rather have a working fingerprint scanner. It might be the screen protector
@nimsrules Already have the S22 but I'm definitely gonna get my hands on the S23. The smaller form factor than the plus and ultra is unbeatable. Not to mention, the S22 does have some serious battery & heating issues which in turn affect the performance in long time
Got my S23 today and I'm in love. The battery performance has increased drastically, the heating issue is mitigated to a considerable extent, the camera quality has improved too. THE best compact phone of 2023, without any contention
@darrenccw Great video! I loved how you explained the topic in a clear and concise way. Your content is always so engaging and informative. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into creating your videos. I would love to see a comparison with the iPhone 14!
For me ? It's my nightmare's phone!! Since I left my S10+ I can not stop complaining. This new phone has a lot of negative points, for example in hardware: the gorilla glass victus 2 is weaker and likely to get scraches if you dont use a glass protection (on s10+ this wasn't necesary); another point is the Ip68 protection, since I ve got this new phone I got dust inside my camera glass!! I couldnt belive it when I discovered it!; another point, you lose head phone input and memory slot to improve capacity; the phone caseing looks less attractive than all glass caseing S10+. Talking about software, yes, its a little more efficient and the batery last longer. The camera.. its good, one of the only best point of the phone. Anyway, I think that there is a low cost qality phone but more expensive than ever, even though compairing to the other generations of Galaxy S that are cheaper and built with more quality materials
@shamirqushairi I'm hearing rumours that this will be the final year we're getting a '+' variant for the S series. I don't know how to feel about this.
@jejunamja Hey, thanks for doing the unboxing. Definitely want to know about the battery and what the external speakers. Have they gotten any better? I know that's not a big deal for a lot of people what I listen to podcasts in the morning as I'm getting ready so,..
It is because there's no manufacturer that produces 128gb ufs 4.0 chip. In fact, there's one, but their memories are very slow, so it is not real ufs 4.0. The production yield of 128gb ufs 4.0 chip is very low. Every manufacturer will be reluctant to make it. So, the solution is to delete the 128gb option. :(
@_anupams Love the form factor of S23 more than the S23+ or S23 Ultra. Compact & powerful. Hope the thermals are not too bad on this because of the size though.
@Scientist_pg Finally! Been waiting for someone to review the s23. I only s23 ultra being reviewed everywhere! Would be interesting to see how the battery life improved after the snapdragon 8 gen 2 chipset
@kjsabar Awesome review! 😍 Was torn if I should get an the Iphone 14 pro or S23 but due to this video, leaning more to get S23. Hope to get a comparison review between the two. 😍
@tamasphan Thanks for the nice video! Improved battery seems like a must with the current competitions in the market. Very curious how the new samsung lineup holds against the others.
Why not? Every month I make 8-10 videos and so far most of my giveaways have been an Iphone 14. Perhaps in the future there will be a Samsung, also in the case of exclusive Apple material. Best, Dion
@jmrvb this s23 form factor reminds me alot of the zenfone, the compact one everytime i held an iphone mini, i really enjoy its size, i havent see a s23 personally but it looks compact aswell
even with a good chip on samsung phone they should put bigger batteries in the s23 and s23+ cuz in android phone alot is going on even if it's optimize they should still put 4000 maH still and 5500 or 6000 mah in the s23 ultra
S23 or S23+? 🤔
S23+ is better I think 👀😂
23+ in my opinion
Thats a hard one. I want both lol
I think the reg s23 .... The 23 plus is way too much money for what it offers. It's just a trap on trying to get you to upgrade to the ultra... Ultra cameras the battery is less. The screen is rest but the price is over. A thousand should not be bought
@@jejunamja the ultra is significantly heavier for me.
Finally someone who reviews the base model... The other two are too big.

@Bzake a too small phone is the Iphone 4 size. With a 6.1 inch screen You get more than enough space for daylie use, gaming and video watching.
S23 for me, I like the smaller form factor and I'm overall happy that they finally decided to go with Snapdragon across the board and with no Exynos variant.
Thank you .
Finally I find someone who reviews S 23
Everyone is talking about ultra and plus 😐😄
My pleasure, but...I will do these as well

My main phone is also a Galaxy phone ie. S22 Ultra. I love the Samsung ecosystem 😊 from tablets to wearable.
Hopefully soon a Galaxy Laptop 🙏
Sounds good!
I love the size of the s23 , I think it would be very comfortable to hold .
Also love how you are one of the few creators who actually care about unboxing the smaller variant !
Hi Aryan, my pleasure
@@DionMedia anytime ❤️
I’ve moved back to iPhone but at times I miss my Galaxy Note. The S23 is a beautiful phone and you get much more storage at a better price point.
Just love the s23 ultra as it's a big upgrade due to SD 8 gen 2 and I also prefer the less pronounced curves on the edges of the screen.
Black is DOPE
Finally smaller smart phones that might fit your pockets :D
Great video about the base model looking forward in a more detailed review in the future 😁
Thanks Adrian, it will come!

@enzocadc
In my opinion the S23 lineup is a great improvement over the last gen, it’s so well rounded and polished. Nice video man!

Can we get a goddamn battery test for crying out loud I've been looking for a week!

coming up!
The battery should last an hour and a half more than s22 I think cause of the 200 mah increase.

Going from 128gb to 256gb means you go from usf 3.1 to usf 4.0 sp faster performance
Its in practice really fasster 256 gb or not too much different?
@@ersanosman4001 you can tell it's a bit snappier but it makes it more power efficient as well
@@jacobtorres9494 its snappier in open apps games?
@talossantom
S22 camera bump gave the phone more distinctive look, but I guest 23 may look better with a case on.
true. unclothed, s22 looks classy to me.
But putting the clothes on, s23 would look better imo.
The only downside is the fingerprint scanner. It sucks. I have gotten used to entering my 6 digit password that I can do in like 1 second. But I would rather have a working fingerprint scanner. It might be the screen protector
Why do some boxes have the peel tabs on the back when most others have the normal tamper stickers?
No idea Timothy
Wow great..... best handy and powerful
s23 or z flip 4?
Good question, but I do not have experience with the Flip 4
I'll prefer using the base model to the ultra....
Great video though 👍😁

Please advise me, what's the best choice the iphone 13 pro, 14 pro or S23 ?
Hi, although not exactly the answer you are looking for, have a look at my latest video, comparing the 14 with the s23
What’s up with the peel tab seals on the back of the box like Apple does? When I first saw it somewhere else I thought it was a fake 😂
Why do some have the tamper stickers and others have the peel tabs?
Do you recommend this over pixel 7 ?

hi. I will choose between iphone 13 and s23. Which one do you think I should choose? and why

Avoid the S23 128GB version it is the only option of the s23 family with slower Memory(slower performance).
