@@antoniox2241 s23 is good but with regards to design, nothing comes to the s10 series. It really had a look that made it distinct from the other phones. All other phones starting from s20 looked similar and almost indistinguishable with other android phones especially those vivo and oppo lookalikes. Those minimalist and boring designs made it easy for other brands to copy and unless someone's a true fan of Samsung, you can barely tell any difference.

Came from S10 regular to S22 ultra. Only because of screen burn in to the sides. Screen burn in came also in my old S7. The devices are good performing even after 3 years. The problem is the screen.

[@lockandloadlikehell]

I have an s10+ and loved it, mostly Longest lasting phone I've ever had 4.5 years(?) I enjoyed and appreciated your excellent review It's finally time to replace it as the screen is cracked again (after replacement 7 months ago) and it throws the error moisture code warning if plugged into my car charger and basically wont charge on AC at home, unless using wireless charging. It's actually losing charge when plugged into a wired AC charger now. It's time for a replacement and looking at the s20p/21/s22/s23 lines. Especially like the idea of 45W fast charging capability, stronger, more shatter-resistant screen and better water resistance, more storage/memory, more RAM, along with an SD card capability (I know the s20/21/22/23 dont have that capacity; but, still a wish), and, ESPECIALLY, significant longer battery life. A minor want is an improved camera. I'll check out your other reviews; hopefully you've reviewed some of the other, newer Samsung models I've mentioned; i assume you have, just haven't checked yet. Anyway, thanks for the excellent review.

I have an S10+ bought in 2019, and i was thinking to switch to the S23+. Today i've played with an S23+ and, beside the high refresh rate and the cameras, i haven't seen any major difference. One thing that i didn't liked at all is the design, i really hate the design of the S23 series, compared to the design of the S10 series. Well, i guess i'll keep my S10+ for another year (i've replaced the battery a few months ago).

Most of the times I recommend buying older flagships like these, rather than getting anything from the "A" series. S and Note series have the premium feeling, top of the line hardware, build quality, and even tho most of them are more than 2-3 years old their designs still look fresh. (And literally "A" series are built to last less than 2 years, their displays are overpriced and not worth repairing, unless they store precious photos)
