I agree, after coming from several note /ultra phones, the s23 is a breath of fresh air. loving how comfortable it fits in the hands and I don't really notice the extra screen space because of how good the screens are nowadays

it has a serious issue with camera blur so it's not the best

[@Tian113]

Ehhhh I probably would still go for the plus version if I had the money for it just because of the battery.

@@Tian113 "if I had the money for it" is the reason why they have the different versions. some don't need the extra battery and would prefer to spend a little less so it all boils down to preference I guess.

Thank goodness someone actually made a video about the regular S23!

Two things I HATE about current Samsung phones. 1. No traditional headphone jack. Meaning you cant charge and listen to your phone privately at the same time. This sucks at airports. 2. No tray for extra micro SD card. You are forced to now pay for extra cloud based storage. Purely a money grab. That's what made the Samsung awesome in the past. You could have like 1Tb of space at your fingertips without uploading and downloading to a google drive all the time.

Basically everything that makes a phone a good phone the S23 has!

[@droetkaar]

@@shivnshots Yeah of course! I was quite happy with the 21fe overall but I didn't like the battery (I got about 5+ hours of Sot with it) and how there always were some stutters, especially while using the camera etc. The s23 is way faster, takes better quality photos (especially the zoom and the selfie camera) better speakers, better fingerprint, got better battery life (I get about 7-9 hours Sot at home with wifi and about 6-7 hours with LTE and moderate use, it also got less standby drain and that is without using the new light mode!). On top of that it feels way nicer and I actually prefer the smaller size after I got used to it, I don't need huge screens as I got a tablet and a laptop for watching movies etc). So in conclusion it just feels like it's a better phone in every way. The 21fe is no bad phone but it definitely does not feel like a flagship compared to the s23! Hope this helps and greetings from Germany :)

[@shivnshots]

@-DiSTriCT- omg hallo wie gehts, ich komme aus Indien und spreche deutsch ein bisschen. Anyway You wrote exactly what my point of view is with s21 Fe in detail. It's not a bad phone, but it's not that good, especially when it comes to battery and stand-by time. I'll really look into any exchange offers with it . Plus soon I'll come to Germany so I want to know how the service of samsung is there. Should I buy the phone there or here? What if I exchange the same model I have in germany ? Please find out and let me know .. If possible I can able to meet you there if you can.

That's normal for smaller phones because their features aren't as flashy (e.g. smaller battery because of size), but for everyday use most people prefer it over a big one.

I just got my S23 refurbished from Amazon to replace my S21 that was overheating, the scree was cracked and the battery life was depleted. I really like it after 3 days.

[@flamingsunshine]

Thank you for the very detailed review, really enjoyed it, really considering getting it😊

[@DionMedia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shibistany]

I read from different sources and youtubers that the 128gb version occupies a huge space for the operating system, and its not a good idea to buy one with 128 gb storage. It differs from country to country. Can anyone from UK help me to to decide if its ok to go for the 128 version? Please

[@DionMedia]

In reality the storage is always less than advertised (operating system etc). 128 GB is decent, but if you store a lot of photos you might consider th 256GB version. It also depends on what you are used to. It is as far as storage is concerned easier to go up then to go down

[@eduardatiemi4866]

Which one to choose iPhone 11 or s23? I’m asking because in my country the prices are the same

[@Pedro145a]

S23

[@blkbnz]

s23 for sure

[@flashhydra7097]

S23 definitely because the iPhone 11 is the competitor to the s20.

@@kolocp i have yet to do a comparison between S10e and S23, but initially i like the S23 more

Hello Dion! I'm planning to get new Samsung s 23 or s23 plus I couldn't make up my mind so are those two are the same ? I heard that s23 plus better than s23 because plus has bigger battery and last longer so should I choose s23 Plus? That will be next Wednesday . Please let know asap Thanks

[@DionMedia]

HI, good question. It depends on what you look most for in a phone, both are great, the plus a bit bigger and a bit more expensive, but overall more value for your money.

[@JesManVP]

The s23 plus comes with more storage to you won't be disappointed

[@perosagathungu8000]

Well when it comes to Samsung and apple there are many features that differ both software and hardware, apple is more of a business phone with a powerful security because it uses 3d face I'd whereas Samsung is more of an exploring phone as it is feature packed ,easily customisable, and many more at times its realy hard to choose the permanent device to use but I can sure say apple is a good bargain because its resale value is quite higher than that of Samsung plus I love the boxy edges of the iPhone lineup because it provides more protection compared to the galaxy s 23 ultra which has a curved screen ,so if I was asked to pic either the galaxy s 23 or the iPhone 14 I'd choose the iPhone for the edges ,security, camera,software ,hardware and magsafe

[@mehshutup3041]

14's camera is far worse than S23, that also hold true with Hardware. You can add magsafe to any phone by buying a magnet case for 20$

I bought an s23 and i can find the finger print sensor visible under light when the screen in locked, is this common in every s23

This is as compact as s23 can gets, i do miss the old samsung mini series and it seems apple is killing its mini line too

[@G_RAThbun]

I live on a fixed income very low and I might add. So a new phone to me is a very big deal I have a Samsung S10 now I'm guessing that moving up to this Samsung s23 would be a very big change?

I have no experience with the S10 so can not say anything useful. Sorry!

[@RoyBenson-is7mu]

Never mind the 48W fast charging which weakens the battery life after 1.5-2 years later!😮. Boring shape:NO. Always have case on it.I'm only interested in what the phone can do!!!Period😊.

[@devenderyadav1878]

Yes, it is functioning smoothly.

[@vigneshs4595]

should I buy s23 or iPhone 14? No preference to iOS or Android, as both are almost same today. Both are available at approx. same price now after 9 months in 2023. iPhone's have more resale value whereas Samsung has more features. pl. advise.

[@pijesz]

If it cost the same then I would go for the iPhone. But I actually bought the S23 because I managed to get it at half the price of the iPhone.

[@VaBatman]

I haven't personally compared, but a lot of people say that 45w will only charge 5 mins faster than 25w. I have a 25w s23 and my wife 45w on the 23+, so i need to compare

[@milenazzz7623]

It's true. About 3-5 min faster, not a big deal.

[@JesManVP]

False it charges way faster its just the battery's in the s23 plus are bigger than the s23

[@sam_lxxxiv]

Stop milking these devices for content mate, this video is almost identical to the previous two S23 videos you made, you're just parroting the device's specs and even using the exact same phrases you used in the previous 2 videos.

Other than the cameras, OP 11 is only IP64 and doesn't have wireless charging, but I agree that it is a better value for the price

[@koustabborah4959]

Bad software, green line issues, not ip68 rating, bad cameras. OnePlus is a highly inconsistent brand.

[@AlexandreG]

not comparable devices. Like comparing the Xiaomi 13 Pro to it

[@jatingidwani9799]

@@koustabborah4959 green line issue has been in many brands including Samsung and not just one plus and it came up in mainly 2019-2020 produced phones. Bad software? I have been using one plus 11 since it's launch and there has been no issues, and I also have s22 which is also clean. Camera as I said is always a place where OnePlus doesn't do good. And the reason I say OnePlus is better is because of its speed. It is faster in usage and it's way faster in charging. So leaving camera OP11 gives a better value for money product.

[@omersagduyu1266]

I wish the newest model (S23) was in the S22 camera design..😮

[@joshjhoward]

@joshjeebles If I needed to get a new phone right now it would be the s23. The customization is amazing and their phones are built well. I'm just not a fan of their processing with photos, they're way too saturated and low light shutter lag isn't great.

[@deoarza]

Your recommendation? limit battery charging to 85% or 100%?

[@DionMedia]

In general 85% is a bit better

[@bedweljp]

Does it support always on display?

In the settings, the Galaxy S23 holds an always-on display menu. That menu houses tons of options for changing what the AOD actually looks like. Here's how to get there: On the Galaxy S23, head to the settings.

Hi Barbell, the question of course is upgrading to what other phone? I have some reviews on the S23, a phone I really like, but I have no experience with the S21.

[@1dash133]

@barbellbryce I input a Samsung S21 5G (128GB) model and it was worth $727 for trade-in value at the ongoing sale. Including the cost of 2 months of Spectrum mobile service (required before you can apply for unlocking the phone), your net cost after trade-in should be something like $150 ... depending on what your state charges for sales tax. If you're interested, google "spectrum mobile galaxy s23 sale". To the KZbin channel host, my apologies if my actions appear to be a shill. Just trying to help a fellow KZbinr out. 🙊

Hey @Dion Schuddeboom, how come your S23 doesn't have the banana blur on pictures taken with 1X main sensor?

[@DionMedia]

I do not know, I did not experience it.

[@adriennet.1577]

Does anyone any issues with the camera when specifically using Instagram? The zoom turns blurry / brightens and softens the image you're zooming in.

[@michi6486]

I just ordered the S 23 and frankly the Camera and Loading speed don´t really interest me since everywhere you go nowadays is a loading port and I don´t really make a lot of pictures to begin with and design is the least important since I´ll be using a case to begin with so I probably won´t see the back of my phone for years to come. Perfomance seems to be on par with even the ultra or at least not noticably worse. The one thing that worries me is the size. I am currently using the s20fe with 6.5 inch display and i hope that the smaller display won´t feel too cramped and that the size difference of just 0,4 inch is basically unnoticable since i do a lot of gaming on my device.
