      It is the sd 8 gen 2 why it doesn't get hot, not the cooler.
      Think about it, if it is producing heat how would it dissipate without heating the phone.
      An analogy would be ACs with big hot radiators outside

      And SD 8 gen 2 is the SoC. It's efficiency (performance/watt) is on par with apple A16 bionic, there's a great video by Geekerwan.
      I didn't know the exact name of the structures in an AC (air cooler) so I looked up.
      The part I was referring to is apparently called the condenser, which is just a winding hollow tube with hot fluid running within it. Winding course provides it with higher surface area, which helps dissipate heat more efficiently.
      It is my bad for confusing it with a radiator, one dissipates heat by radiation and convection, the condenser by radiation convection and evaporation.
      According to the laws of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, just converted from one form to another. A cooling system only “transfers” heat from one place to another. It doesn't magically vanish it.
      I still stand by my point because the s23 doesn't have fans in it like a gaming phone. So whatever heat it is producing has to come out from somewhere, which was the case for s22, but it doesn't. Meaning, the SoC has become a lot efficient.
      The cooling system you are mentioning is a minor factor in the thermal discharge by the phone.
      I hope I got my point out right this time.

      I always keep my battery between 80% and 30% and I am a power user but I would say you could get 6hrs of constant youtube, twitch, and various streaming with full charge and easily a full day if you are using regular apps and streaming just every now and then. I recommend spending a little bit of time in the battery settings menu, there is a light mode that extends battery life with a negligeable performance loss (unnoticeable in regular use and gets turned off in games automatically) and various modes and tweaks you can switch on and off + the usual list of apps you can prevent from consuming battery in the background

      @Tony I mainly upgraded because of the battery being pretty terrible after almost 3 years on my S20, and because i was running out of storage since Samsung only offered the 128GB version then. I'd say things are a bit faster, battery is a HUGE step up, and I like how I can finally use the ultra-wide camera on instagram, snapchat and Bereal.

    The S23 is £900 for the 256GB model in the UK! The same OPPO Find N2 Flip is £850 (also 256GB/8GB), so for me, in my region, if I want a smaller phone, then the OPPO is a solid alternative. Though it depends on when you buy the S23, as pre-order deals are now closed. Obviously, the US has very limited choice because of their anti-consumer smartphone market.

    It's worth mentioning when reviewers mention the 45w charging, in the case of Samsung its just marketing. It makes about 10 minutes difference on charge time because most of the time it's not charging at 45w. Get a OnePlus, Oppo for actual Super Fast Charging. Samsung's implementación is a bit bigger a con.

But you can do things like only keep music that is your absolute favorite or stuff that is hard to find, and for the rest just use UA-cam Music or whatever streaming service floats your boat.
