Samsung Galaxy S23 Real-World Test (Day in the Life Review)

[@mqproductions]

The S23 gets more addictive every day. Love how I'm able to wrap my whole hand around it. It's very convenient to hold and plenty big enough to see.

[@FindMeInsanity]

Thinking of upgrading from S21 Fe. Does the size feel weird? how do videos feel like ? too small to the eyes or can everything be seen/read properly ?

[@GGHREKT004]

Tried playing games on my friend’s s23 and the fps is dropping like shit and the phone overheats whiting 15-20 mins . My friend has been using the device for a month and the performance has already started to slow down , it takes time to open heavy applications and opening multiple apps overheats the phone.

The compact yet powerful phones are always my favorites and it's great to see the Galaxy S23 bring the much-needed improvement in performance and battery life compared to the S22. I guess this is the new compact phone to beat. Great review, as always.

[@vastateofmind]

You still call this your "weird little format" -- I find your "day in the life" reviews the absolute MOST HELPFUL in determining whether I want to upgrade to an S23 or a Pixel & (or even 8) series, from my abysmal Pixel 6 Pro. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for continuing to do this kind of review and comparison between phones. I can't tell you how useful it is!!!

[@RaptorTwoFour]

I'm glad that you reviewed the regular S23! I too have noticed a significant difference in battery life between the S23 and S22, in a good way

[@bugraozkan8137]

Yea but 120Hz makes a lot of difference in terms of SOT. I use it at 60hz and mine (256Gb) is getting around 6-7 SOT. This phone needed 1hz refresh rate so badly.

Your battery life from day with camera usage was double of what I had on my S22 on power saving mode and loads of features off, I'd say that the battery alone is worth the upgrade!

[@muskaijaz9716]

Same my battery life on s22 is also bad it hardly lasts for 6 hours continuous use

[@LeReVaQ]

It's the cpu and optimised software that's contributed a lot. I'm so happy with mine

[@ndrs3139]

Didnt watch it all the way through, but want to say i love this style of showing places/foods, the real world with inbetween shots and explanations of the phone itself. It has a much better vibe than just talking about the phone for 15 mins. Great work!

[@sysodo927]

Wish it was a tad smaller still, but coming from the 14 pro and a pixel, I am in love with the s23 at the moment, plus it doesn't have exynos!!!

[@ariaseraj4005]

i had s22 and in the first couple of days, i noticed that thing would have gotten warm to touch frequently for no reason. i swapped it for s23 and the performance difference and battery was noticeably better, plus s23 doesn't get warm at all.

[@Gonewithjon]

Are these handheld shots or was a gamble used ?

[@iAfroTech]

Most people, living in Europe, will buy this S23 because too much frustration for many years with Exynos, plus overall this S23 is nice, small, great hardware and improved battery life 🔋

[@davidbrown6878]

I'm planning to buy the Samsung Galaxy S23 plus for the slightly larger battery.

[@xoxoKacey6]

I love my S23, just traded in my iPhone 12 Pro and I will never go back. I am so impressed with Samsung/Android… best part is all the customization and being able to silence certain notifications but keep others on and at which sound level I want! My husband has the Ultra which is beautiful too, but it is just too big for daily use.

[@Chockster612]

I still absolutely love your video format (Real-World Test) and your day in the life reviews. Thank you for your continued hard work on these. Side note, I also really enjoy you showing the wonderful neighborhoods and eateries of NYC while showcasing whatever you're reviewing. I have a friend who is spending a long weekend in NYC and I suggested your videos to him prior for places to see and eat! 🥂Cheers!

The battery in a day with heavy camera usage is almost like the regular battery I get from my FE without all that camera use lol, it's so good

[@menardquinto9516]

@@goshaminator For sure you'll get 6+ hours if you're gonna use the phone for less demanding tasks unlike mine. Camera is great! Up to par with the flagships. What I noticed tho is that the s23 has better lowlight selfie camera than my friends iPhone 14 (significantly better than the s22) especially if you use the flash. More detail is evident. With regards to video, Iphone is still better but not by much. 👌🏼

[@goshaminator]

@@menardquinto9516 yes agreed. I'm using galaxy note 10 lite and would like to upgrade now, was caught up between s23 or s23plus .. ultra seems too big and even the performance difference between the other 2 is not that huge.

[@Bernardoexe]

Amazing review!! You were the first person that I've seen to mention UFS 4.0 for >=256GB and I think it's a really important topic that more people should focus on during reviews. Besides from that, I was really impressed with the phone and your video and will order one in the next couple of days!

Hello from Italy !!! I follow you for a long time and many times before buying something technological , example smartphone or computer , I watch your videos . I like the way you "tell" your personal experience with the devices you try , besides I really like the fact that you take to discover new places . - That I nostalgically remember when I took intensive language courses in the summer .- Anyway back to us and the Samsung S23 "basic" , sincerely I find it a well-executed product , let's say Samsung is somewhat following Apple's strategy . Improving their models every year , limaning their flaws , problems to arrive at something "new" . But on this round I feel to promote more a pixel 7 , compared to the s23 which is still an excellent smartphone if it were not for a small detail . The price is quite high and honestly the upgrades it received do not justify the expense . S23 ultra on the other hand fits , especially for the same processor that the entire top range of this year is equipped with . But the ultra is another planet , designed more for creators & businessmen , than normal people . In my opinion Pixel 7 -7pro both in 2022 and this 2023 are the ones to be considered , shortly then pixel 7a should also arrive .... So again, my thought 2022/23 on the android range Pixel will stand out in purchase order for many users .

[@warnacokelat]

The colors of the photos taken by this camera is all sort of wrong. While I appreciate the night mode makes photos brighter, it was too bright, no way near the real life night situation that you see by your own eyes. Probably because I used a Pixel before this.
