Finally a base s23 review. I'm only seeing Samsung s23 ultra reviews on KZbin. Thanks GSMarena

[@extra4542]

The flat screen and shape of the s23 is so much nicer than the ultra

[@BlunderDownUnder]

Incorrect - S22 Ultra is effectively the Galxay Note 22, which is objectivity the best phone model (Note user since the Note 1). Also, science tells use that Note users are also more attractive with 'ultra' large Penises.

[@siddhantpoojary3491]

No

[@BozQ]

I very much prefer flat screen too. The base S23 is my preferred option.

[@wolf-vf3le]

What about the battery?? I have s22

[@swagger6166]

s23 and 23 plus looks very much like a midrange samsung phone whereas ultra looks very premium

[@MrSolvalou]

I already have the S23, super happy with it, TSMC fabbed SD 8 Gen 2 makes all the difference

[@wolf-vf3le]

The battery? Big deference from s22?

[@NiltonMeira]

I have a Snapdragon S22 and the battery doesn't last the day. Need to charge about 6 pm. I'm not a power user, use it to watch videos, listen to music via Bluetooth, browse the web and messaging apps. Occasionally take some photos.

[@atiqqasim1584]

Me too. Switched from s22+ to galaxy s23 since i didnt like the size. Battery life feels even better than the s22+ giving me good screen on time of atleast 5 hours. But the main difference and improvement is in the standby battery drain which has reduced greatly compared to my s22+.

It does not fast charge like the oppo for instance but it does not matter as You can do the whole Day with the battery. Overall it is very fast en even I am not a huge Samsung fan due to the S21 had very poor battery life they did a very good job with this one. Love the Phone.

[@PMitchell106]

2:38 UFS4.0 is likely the most consequential upgrade this year, I'm surprised it's just mentioned as if it's an afterthought. Faster storage will make a bigger difference in the real world for a normal user than anything related to the refresh rate, processor, or chipset that all of the reviews obsess about.

[@random_person618]

Whenever I want to know if a phone is good, I almost always look for the UFS version if there is even UFS in that phone, the processor, amount of storage and the skin that runs on top of Android. Sadly getting the UFS version is harder than expected. Luckily GSMArena lists it gracefully under the "Memory" section.

[@hidden-leaf]

i have been wanting to see the read write speeds of s23 :v

[@cw1161]

Random read and write barely faster than ufs 3.1,4.1 will be the true upgrade.

[@joeykeilholz925]

And you need the 256 GB model for it

[@hardikjaindpsn-std1268]

also the fact that 4.0 is more efficient..means a better battery life on the 256gigs than 128 gigs

I currently own an iPhone 13 Pro, S22 Ultra, and S20. The S20 is my most used phone due to it's compact size and ease of one-handed use (avid reader). While I love the "latest and greatest" features of the other two phones, I use them sparingly and I'm always excited to pick up the S20. I currently have the S23 preordered and if its as good as I'm hoping it to be in terms of battery life and efficiency, I fear I may never use my S22 Ultra again.

GSM Arena's suggestion for compact smartphones at the end of this review for Asus ZenFone 9 is great. But unfortunately, I have to import it and it will cost more. There is the Sony Xperia ranged too. But again, more expensive than the S23. So my choices for compact Android smartphone is pretty much from Samsung only. And their phones depreciate in value so rapidly. So I'll just wait for their inevitable Z Fold 5 later this year, and the S23 will be significantly cheaper in price. And I'll still get great tech support from Samsung.

Always look forward to your reviews! 😎👍

[@andika28100]

I am confused which one better to buy this time. Samsung S23 ora Asus Zenfone 9 I am a little bit worry about the battery on S23. I heard Zenfone 9's battery is amazing, but they only give 2 years update. Need some advice please

[@SarcasticAusse]

S23 eye's closed

[@allnews3816]

Dear Team .. Please review soon on S22 plus and S 23 Ultra

[@BMW-sd6nn]

Jumping from the s10 to this is just an insane upgrade.

[@LR-sd3wl]

I jumped from the S10 Plus to the S23 Ultra and i can feel the upgrade. I do miss the Headphone jack and MST but i love my Ultra regardless

[@andrewhernandez4327]

I loved my s10 when I got it. Was amazed what you could do with it at the time. I just got the s23 last week. I wanted the ultra but was gonna be too expensive. I like it. The only thing I notice is it's warms up pretty quick. A little more than I would like

[@sammyt3514]

Thanks for the thorough yet succinct review. More importantly, how is your thumb doing?

[@negig2161]

Does the Galaxy S23 doesn't have an OIS system for even the main camera!!???

How to fix the bad signal network on samsung s23?

[@shaneryan231]

Where did you get the bookshelf in the back of your video?? I can’t wait to get my S23+ in a week!!!!

[@jordancooper0944]

It would be a shame to see the plus model discontinued. They need to bump up the spec for the price jump besides better battery and screen otherwise they need to keep the line up. Only problem is that pixel 7 pro is cheaper and better

[@galerikaban5280]

true this..m really don't get the market for plus..but the small s23 and ultra make sense

[@andyH_England]

The S23 pre-orders are similar to the S23+, so if they cancel the S23+, then the S23 may also be in trouble.

Why are these reviewers ignoring the vibration test? This is a huge factor for me. Will I feel it in my pocket when someone calls? Is it loud while lying in desk? How is the haptics while typing?

[@gusto00sedem]

It's bad. I miss 90% of notifications. I didn't know, this can even be an issue in a phone. 1k phone and useless vibration mode. I'm very disapointed at Samsung.

[@LooneyTo0n]

I wish reviewers were a bit more precise with their expressions, because I noticed something quite annoying watching this, as I recently watched the Nothing Phone 1 review, again by GSMArena. This is what I’m talking about - same guy reviewing both phones: S23 review: The S23 was able to earn an endurance rating of 101 hours, an excellent showing! NP1 review: The Nothing Phone was able to score a good endurance rating of 108 hours. Anyone who’s watching those videos and does not have a lot of context, will leave the S23 video with the feeling that it has great battery life, and the NP1 video thinking that it’s just OK. While in reality, the NP1 scored 7 hours more in the same standardised test. Of course, real world conditions vary and here is when all hell breaks loose, but when it comes to reviewing phones and commenting battery life based on a standardised test, the reviewer should be paying more attention to the way he delivers the information.

[@kbtriplesix]

You do realise that the Nothing Phone uses a weaker mid-range processor while the S23 uses the newest flagship one which still consumes more battery. Also, the Nothing Phone 1 has 4500 mah while the S23 only has 3900, this makes the endurance rating of the S23 better than the Nothing Phone, given the circumstances.

[@LooneyTo0n]

@@kbtriplesix Yes, I do realise this, but it won't be obvious to the people I'm talking about. Besides that, GSMArena's battery endurance test is meant to show what battery life you can expect from your device, in different tasks. And if somebody leaves with the understanding that he'd get wose battery life on the NP1 than on the S23 (for example, although those phones are in a different price category), this means that the reviews mislead him a lot.

[@kbtriplesix]

@@LooneyTo0n to which people? the one watching the reviews? they name the processor, how efficient and they also name the battery capacity i dont get your point

[@forest_hobo]

Been thinking to upgrade from S9+ to a new phone but cannot decide between S20FE and S23?

[@ShineAmulet84]

s23

[@OnlyCitrus]

I am no the fence now. I want to downscale from my Fold 3 to the S23 but I think I might wait for the S24 as it is not that far away and my Fold haven't become a prominent issue yet.

[@Aeganable]

Confused between Samsung A23 5G and Moto G62 5G..Main use for ott streaming and some online usage.

[@roypranjal]

Moto

[@pathanp74]

One suggestion. Try to add some emotion(intonation) to your voice. It will drastically improve the connection. I have been observing you for so long. Reply me to know more.

[@TechMine27]

Seems like the bezels are a lot thicker than the s22. or are my eyes misleading?? anyone??

[@artofverity8791]

Is s23 screen totally flat?

[@Read_Heat_]

Did you do the test with the 128 go version ? would UFS 3.1 have an impact on battery life?

[@DarkFlame8777]

The ssd is 2x slower on 128GB definitely buy 256GB! Don’t go cheap

[@Ayotundejerry]

How am I able to watch you guys videos on minimized mode on KZbin but not others?

[@raza5124]

What I don't understand is the Samsung s21 had a battery life of 4000 mAh then for some reason it went down to 3700 mAh for the Samsung s22. Now they making out the battery is better on the Samsung s23 even though the Samsung s21 was better. Why did the battery go down in last year's model then? Clever marketing and selling tactic from Samsung

[@Filipomnomnom]

Honestly, nothing is exciting anymore. These phones are GREAT and that's it. I feel like the only time we will get something exciting is if a phone is foldable but do we really care about it?

[@filbao8113]

It atleast stands out

[@altheajunalma6174]

Today I just laid my hands on this device!!

[@LR-sd3wl]

You like it so far?

[@dlervan8876]

such an amazing phone hope I can afford it one day

[@SFMAnimator66]

is it Water-proof or water resistent?

[@ozzzy3z946]

Of course

[@waltonrodneyjr5258]

Feeling pretty torn between the S23+ and the Pixel 7 Pro. Mostly because of the display differences; 1080p vs 1440p. I just see the S23+ as an all around better phone. Faster charging, better built-in features, will have better trade-in value down the line, better design both aesthetically and how they feel…so. I understand the Pixel 7 Pro significantly cheaper as well

[@jejunamja]

I can only say I had the galaxy S 22+ and I returned it because of the screen as I had a S 20+ and you could see the difference in the resolution I know some people can’t but I could so it made a difference to me, so if you can see the difference if you’re one of those people like me where that will bug you then maybe don’t get the S 23+

[@ArnavRoy]

S23 plus is overpriced. At that point just get the ultra

[@sportsxcentric6719]

Pixel 7 pro is facing build quality issues, might wanna check out some reddit threads

[@paololololol]

Pixel 7 Pro seems to have the better trade in deals right now and is on sale too

[@vladmihai306]

pixel 7 pro is powered by tensor g2 which is more or less an exynos chip. if you want all the cons of the exynos chips, then go for it
