I've been searching for a lighter and smaller phone without compromising too much processing power. This review really helped me to decide. I'm upgrading from Samsung S21 Ultra. I love my current phone but the heaviness is wearing my right hand at some point. Thank you for the detailed review for this unit.

[@DominickRuocco]

The S23 series definitely made some nice improvements from the S22. I still don't think it's worth the upgrade for S22 users. I'll probably upgrade when the S24 drops. Thanks again Ella!

Probably not, but from the S21(Which i have) or back further?? Yes, it's is a big upgrade. 🙂

I got the s23 phone few days ago. It seems to me the best in all respects. I don't play any games. I got 6 hours of screen ontime by running video calls and KZbin, Facebooking and other apps. Also there was a standby of about 19 hours. Which really surprised me.

[@ExySmexy]

Hands down the best review of the s23 and I've been watching every single review since it came out. You go through everything thats important, especially the battery when others just gloss over it.

Upgrading from the Z Flip 3 to the Ultra is extremely refreshing. Better Battery, Camera, overall performance. So glad I made the choice.

Great review. I'll be upgrading from an S8 (yes, you read that right), so anything would be a huge upgrade. Considering the plus and ultra models are just too big, and too feature rich for what I use my phone for, the base model seems like the best fit for me. Thanks!

Great video as always! Sidenote: you mentioned the 50mp Fotos being bad in low light conditions as if we would have expected better quality. But that's pretty normal and the case on ever single phone, also 14 pro and s23 ultra. 50mp mode is waaaay more pixel therefore the Pixels are smaller and need more light. On any single phone on this planet right now the normal 12 mp picture will always look better than the 50mp/200mp/48mp picture when taken in low light :) 8:20

[@infiltrateddestroy9814]

watching this video from an s10e, i still believe i dont really need the upgrade to the s23, especially since i do not take much photos. The s10e is still snappy after 4 years, good battery life, and a tough build (went through some abuse but still no scratch on the screen) fits in my hand perfectly and comfortable as hell. this year too i'll wait to see if the next S series will blow my mind toward an upgrade.

[@thatdumbguy2800]

I upgraded from s10e as well, battery life literally doubled, photos are much better too, detailed. Definitely worth an upgrade since I got a nice trade in discount as well in the Samsung website.

[@Shockload]

Good battery life after 4years on the S10e ? Not too sure about that since it already had an average battery life at launch

[@PJ-gm1hb]

11 hour sot on my s23 ultra. Considering there are a ton of customizable functions and features. It's insane.

[@ljacobs357]

Great job. Personally, I find iOS convoluted compared to the flexibility of OneUI. Of course the iPhone is better integrated and seamless, but that is about it in my opinion. Use One Hand operation + to customize the phone even further. And Dex takes flagship Samsung phones to another level. Just get an external monitor and the phone serves as a mini computer, or connect wirelessly to a TV for a full desktop experience matching the resolution of the screen. Can’t see myself going back to Apple soon.

Despite rarely upgrading phones, I did upgrade from my S22 to the S23 and I LOVE it. My favorite hidden feature? There is a Light performance profile that didn't exist on the S22. When enabled, my Geekbench score went down only 3% yet now my phone NEVER gets hot, even in games. As for battery life, it is mildly better than the S22. I expected a bigger jump but I'd say it lasts about 10% longer.

@Bzake They actually got two different lead designers from auto industry: one is from BMW (Chris Bangle) another from Mercedes (Hubert Lee). The current design has been "finalised" in some ways, save for some features that would've future-proofed the phones. But whatever designs they come up with S24 (I am not saying they would rest on their laurels, unlike a certain company that overcharges for the same phone, year after year), it would be a separate line to S22-S23 style.

[@maxborn7400]

@@MayankGupta-th3wt Idk, didn't sit well with me. Made it look weird, how much attention it draws to the camera setup. That "monolith" look for S23 series looks nicer overall. Last year, there were fan designs showing a fully-embedded camera setup, but that didn't happen. I think this looks nice for a signature look, now if only the colours offered had a vibrancy to it 😄 Still choosing matte black, the other colours look too dull for a flagship phone.
