Agree with most points except for not having 120 hz. That's one of the best and most satisfying new tech and experience on the newer phones

thank you for giving this much in-depth attention to the base S23. I'm not interested in the Plus or Ultra, but it kinda feels like that's all that ever gets reviewed, whether because it's the top-of-the-top or because that's all Samsung will send out to reviewers.

[@JSyntax]

yes agreed!

[@MAPOtheKid]

Plus is pretty much exactly the same as the regular S23, just with a bigger screen, larger battery and faster charging.

[@lauramuller6804]

Plus also has UWB like the Ultra

[@CPhillips5481]

I went from a S9+ 2018 to a S23 Ultra. Drastic upgrade. Probably won't upgrade for at least another 4 yrs. And anytime a reviewer compares a Android to iPhone they lose my attention immediately. If I wanted a iPhone, I'd invest in one. Love my S23 Ultra though........

[@Cybertruck-tv6hr]

You missed out on the s20

[@Ray-uc8ij]

They took away people's choice when they removed the SD card slot and that was only to charge more for bigger rom space on the phone. Yes the SD card is slower then system rom, but they should have left that choice to the consumer.

[@kleiner3838]

right ? i dont need superfast memory if its only pictures and videos

[@tamwilfred]

It was a lousy excuse to give to people. The problem was consumers didn't voice their concerns. Remember when they removed the SD card slot in the Note 5. The following year they put back the SD card slot. It's sad how people just accepted the changes Samsung made from what I can recall from the top of my head. Their midrange and budget phones still have SD card slots.

[@corey7219]

Having a s20 fe, with the sd865 processor, on it's original firmware, is such a blessing for me. It still runs as fast as the day I bought it, after a screen and battery replacement. I can confidently say, I don't see any phones that will tempt me to upgrade for at least another 2 years

​​@@raynantemagsino9530 He mentioned "screen replacement" so he probably has none since its replaced

[@Autonimaatio]

Honestly your bit about being thankful for not having a SD card slot was not a smart segment. SD cards that are fast enough for recording 4K footage are not expensive or hard to come by. It is simply a downgrade not to have a SD card slot. Paying 40 euros for 256 gigs on 4K capable SD card vs paying hundreds of euros more for the same extra capacity of internal space is not something to be thankful for.

[@TruthAdv]

Still got the S20 FE and honestly it's great. I was looking to get a backup phone for traveling and that was the only reason I was thinking about upgrading.

I had the S10 for 3 years and a half. I absolutely loved it. It has soooo many features and it felt to new and slim.

[@prestonfernandes2071]

I have to disagree with the Micro SD card take. As someone that uses Galaxy A52s and only has USB 2.0 support. It seriously sucks to have transfer anything pics/vids to a computer cause it can take several hours that even that the micro SD card itself is way faster. Also biggest reason is storage. 256 is good but it means I need to transfer all stuff to a computer every 6 months or so cause that's how fast my storage gets used up. I also prefer to keep my pics/vids on device cause I usually edit them or need to send it to people so have direct access to it is needed. So the Micro SD card is mainly used as secondary storage while the internal is primary. Also cloud services like Google Photos have limits. Back when google photos was unlimited I was a genuinely good solution and lower quality wasn't a big deal but now says it's quite hard to survive off 15gb of storage while also hoping you fill it up cause then your Gmail account just gets locked cause it can't receive messages because the storage is full for some reason. So the excuse of "Have another directory being annoying" is quite pathetic as thst's literally a feature of the phone. If you don't want your pictures going there just don't use it or don't add a microSD. Leave it empty. Cause already internal storage options are expensive enough to get a higher tier while Micro SD were the perfect cheap alternative

I agree with most of points except 120hz refresh rate and micro SD card support. 120hz display is super smooth. You can definitely feel the difference when you go back to 60hz. 120hz makes the phones feel more responsive and scrolling experience is fluid. Since it's adaptive. It only uses 120hz when you interact with it. Rest of the time when there is no interaction it switches back to 60hz. Micro SD support is a good thing to have. You mentioned that recording to SD card and exporting is slow. You can change camera settings to use internal storage. You can use SD card for other files where read and write speed isn't a priority. Its always better to have expandable storage.

you actually convinced me not to buy a new phone. i am planning to upgrade from S20+ to S23 but I think i will pass now. lol. Thank you for this video!

[@lukeluke295]

Good!

[@reiomi]

I love my s20 5g. I originally switched to it from my s8 in 2020, and though my S8 was a decent phone, i loved the look of the s20 and was drawn to the rainbows on the back lol. I dont regret switching to it but recently my s20 5g charge port has been loose which is the only thing that is getting me to even consider getting a new phone. But if I had the choice with at&t to get another s20 I would 100% do so. If you have a nice working s20 i would say keep it and wait to the next generation. Its a good phone!

What do you use to clean your camera ?

[@JSyntax]

Nothing special just my clean shirt

[@cobaltss50]

I am actually watching this on my s20 right now and waiting for my s23 in the mail, the s20 has been a great phone for all these years, it is definitely time for and upgrade.

[@JSyntax]

Lucky

[@speedracer175]

Good decision. S20 won be getting the Android 14 or one iu 6.

[@OceanManu]

@cobaltss50 which are your thoughts 3 months later? I have just bought a S23 from a S20 exynos. How about the battery?

[@p.rbones9266]

I got the s10e and it's been amazing every since

[@phillipberkowitz7542]

I was considering upgrading from my s20 plus to the Pixel 7pro but I'm going to wait for the s24 series to come out and upgrade to the s23 plus.

[@ruga129]

I think you should upgrade to s22 ultra when 24 series release

[@phillipberkowitz7542]

S22 ultra has the garbage exynos chip where the s23 series has the snapdragon. The snapdragon is better optimized and has better battery life

[@jeremyencarnacion8249]

​@@phillipberkowitz7542The snapdragon also comes, which has been the snapdragon gen 1 for the s22 ultra bro in Europe, no, but for use, yes.

[@crisojohnson]

how do you get the app icons to be on top of each other?

[@joshua_luther]

I'm currently comparing the S23 and S23 plus. The only reason I like the plus is the screen size but I don't think it's worth a few hundred dollars more for just that. For the first time I'm considering a smaller phone as I have a Tab S8 for longer viewing sessions. So I don't need a huge screen on a phone. Im just not sure I want to deal with the hassle of trying to sell my Pixel 7 Pro and buying a used S23. So I will probably opt for going through Verizon to trade in my pixel as Samsung no longer is accepting the Pixel 7 phones as trade ins on the S23 and plus.

[@cyberlexl3136]

Hi, the S23 plus also has a better batterie and lasts longer on. And it manages better the heat than the S23 for gamers. Those are the only differences.

[@cyberlexl3136]

Also if u buy the S23 base model, u should get the 256Go coz its performances are better than the 128 one; not just in size of memory but also performances 😊

[@liftusup9208]

I am still at s10+. Just got my screen replaced because newer ones are 5x expensive (thanks to inflation) and they dont add much value for all that money.

[@netteloveszebras]

Im coming from an s21 and waiting for the s24. I actually had gotten the iphone 13 mini but after 2 years and no sign of another mini coming from apple, i missed android too much. Loving this comparison of 3 years of differences. I also disable a lot of animations because they make me nauseated 😂

[@JSyntax]

Helll ya, welcome back to the dark side

[@see_1Jay]

S24 and plus are exynos. Unless S24U

[@samodigboh]

What was the shade for mkbhd for in then beginning of the video

[@raccoongameryoshi]

Hi i have a question. Im planning on buying the s23 and i see that the camera quality is really good. But if you record something on the regular camera app and post in on like tiktok, instagram, whatsapp does the quality then drop alot? I heard a lot of people say that the quality drops. So maybe i need to buy the iphone 14..

[@JSyntax]

no, the quality will be good

[@Firelord_Ozen]

Watching on my base S20. I ain't upgrading till like a S25 or if my phone breaks.

[@CaramelColored]

I envy those who are upgrading from like an S6 Edge to the S24 Ultra... the amount tech has changed since then would be staggering, especially if they didnt follow tech at all.

[@ilearn1298]

I am getting s20 in oct 2023 for 350$. Should I consider?

[@marvin7533]

Well, my S20+ recently got the green going down the middle of the screen. I upgraded to the S23+ a couple of days ago. It just wasn't worth spending $350 repairing, and the possibility of the green line coming back.

[@vladmihai306]

i have an s20 snapdragon imported from china, for the chipset. it's a great phone. it's only cons are battery life, which is so-so, let's say acceptable for a medium user and that it overheats quite quickly in the sun with data + gps on. this means that when you travel, it's almost unusable and it's gets depleted very quickly. otherwise, it's great. great screen, great haptics, great weight, i love it. will see how s24 is, maybe i'll upgrade.

[@wekaweka402]

My only complaint for s20 fe snapdragon is only the camera video against newerr phone like iphone 14 and s23...

[@cheapesttactics9881]

i went from the s7 to the flip and its fun

[@becksm-w6627]

I currently have an s20fe and have been really happy with it up to now, but the battery just isn't holding and I'm having to re start the phone every now and then just so the camera app works. I've also found that it's constantly over heating. I've been debating the new 23 plus, this video has been super helpful but I'm still questioning keeping my phone and just putting a new battery in (I know its a 50/50 that it will resolve the issues I'm having). If anyone is in a similar situation I'm all ears. I have also loved having the SD card slot because I take lots of pictures for work and it doesn't use up the memory on my phone

[@fahd3228]

I own S20FE. Great phone serviced me well, but man, the battery started losing its charge quickly, and like others said, the screen looks dim in sunlight. Just placed an order for renewed S23+ with 512gb. I got a good deal on Amazon.

[@becksm-w6627]

@fahd3228 I'm putting a new battery in my s20fe and sending back the s23 plus.

[@nsr180]

Like a plank I moved over from s20 to iPhone 10 it’s refurbished(I’m still learning it.) My memory is bad at times due to my epilepsy &more. The dude has a good video I bought the s20 on a deal (I think about a year ago) I shouldn’t have gotten the iPhone but I’m seeing some differences and pros coz I’ve linked it to 2other apple products. The cost of living is very bad here at this time. I’m finding some problems with the apple 10

[@vineeygamer]

Never trust a reviewer who says 120Hz is a marketing gimmick. You say you are a developer, such comments doesn't suit you bro. It is your personal preference to use 60Hz but higher fps is always wayyyyyy better.

[@chak_dz6961]

this man right here droped the marketing mike anout refresh rate 😮😂
