Got a base S23 as my first flagship phone after always using budget stuff from like Xiaomi: love everything about it with the sole exception of the camera quality. As far as I understand, for it to perform actually good you *have* to use pro mode and edit the photos later? I'm still not sure how to do that, and without extra tweaks low-light photos and videos are underwhelming. Not gonna lie, getting a smartphone 8 times more expensive than my last one, I expected it to have a better camera (sometimes, I can't even really say that the picture quality is better than what I got on my budget Xiaomi before).

Sorry, I might have missed the point here but, why is it a problem that the fingerprint sensor animation disappears after authenticating with your face? Do you have two methods of unlock required to get into your phone or something? Or do you mean it isn’t an option when the screen locks again?

[@Zhus118]

Yeah I don't get the complaint here either.

[@TwskiTV]

He means it's common for the face unlock to kick in without you realizing, so you'll keep pressing against the fingerprint sensor until you realize it's not scanning anything and you must swipe up to unlock. It would be way faster if it just skipped the lockscreen by touching the sensor area, if it's already recognized your face

Hi, I currently have an S7 which is really tired ^^ I was wondering, why flat panels make a difference? I've never had a curved screen, and I'm hesitating between an Oppo Find X3 Pro/X5, a P30 Pro or an S23 for the next one

[@neverendinchaos4800]

@@l.3386 Flat panels make a difference because you don't have to worry about accidentally touching the screen, which is what can happen when your phone has a curved display. The other reason why flat displays make a difference is because they're usually easier to replace than curved displays...which means they're usually cheaper to repair too. And the other reason is phone cases/screen protectors. Curved displays can be a pain to find decent cases and screen protectors for because manufacturers have to put more effort in to accommodate the display's curvature into their screen protectors/cases and it can sometimes end up costing more to find a decent case/glass screen protector that will actually protect the display. Having a flat display saves you all of these little problems. I've even noticed that Samsung themselves has reduced the curvature of the display on the S23 Ultra compared to the S22 Ultra. Having a flat display just makes your life easier...but that's my opinion. Ultimately, it's up to you.👍

@@NzScruff oh, thats ok. I think the design of the s23 is way more pleasing, for gaming the s23 kills with the qualcomn 8 gen 2 i can tell you if you are a gamer like me the s23 will not dissapoint. I would not reccomend a Mi phone as there have been multiple reports snd studies of the privacy of the phone being very insecure, also i do not like xiaomis skin on android, this is coming from a 3 year xiaomi user. With samsung you will get a phone that covers all the bases, looks nice, kills at gaming and snaps wonderfull pictures not to mention samsungs wonderful spin on android. With the asus zenfone 10 i beleive its design is inferior and the spin on android is (mind my language) quite ugly, i dont see many advantages to the zenfone than the s23. About the xiaomi, i think its quite good it is a solid competitor to the s23 HOWEVER that said the design isnt great, thr privacy issues i talked about before and the inferior custom android rom. I hope what i said helps you coming from a big android community. Whatever phone you pick they are all solid phones and i hope you have a good experience with the one you pick. (I cant beleive i just wrote 300 words in a youtube comment💀)

[@silverwolfgecko7064]

The zenfone has only 2 years OS updates and 4 years security. For me security is the important one, so only one year less. Performance is the same (same chip, even with the slight "Galaxy Edition" advantage), battery life is superior on the Zenfone (every other review hasn't been this positive about the battery life of the S23), Cameras is subjective (I know I like the photos from Asus more due to MKBHDs blind test last year), and personally the Zenfone looks a lot nicer and interesting. The ecosystem of Samsung is a big advantage for them, but that depends on if you want that or not. The xiaomi isn't even an option on my list since it's more likely to be sending your data to the Chinese government, meaning now both your government and china knows what you're up to ;) I'll probably be going with the Zenfone since it has slightly faster charging speed, now has wireless charging and looks cooler.

Iphone 15 or s23 ? Which one is better for a normal user ?

[@LautaroLosio]

Thanks for this. I was just thinking about changing my S21FE for this. The battery was my biggest concern since it's the main problem I have with my current phone. I don't get why but no one talked about this phone, it is clearly the superior one just because of the size! I couldn't know for sure if the supposed great battery reviews I saw on forums were true. I have found that your claims and preferences align pretty well with mine so I can now purchase this phone in peace.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Yeah Fools Edition sucks

[@AlMuneer786WSA]

I am using the phone and like it too, just wish the speakers were better. My S9 has a better sound volume in comparison

[@revhappy4lyfe]

I upgraded from asus rog 2 to Samsung s23+ Decent upgrade. The only reason of my upgrade was the lines on the display of my rog2. Miss the air triggers though but the massive upgrade in the display makes up for it 😁

[@praxk]

Which icon pack has been used in the initial setups in the phone?

[@rishi11496]

Question: What's wrong with removing fingerprint icon when the device got unlocked using Face Unlock? The device is Unlocked, why would you want to unlock an unlocked device using the Fingerprint?

[@aleatoryr0y]

Agreed. I had the same question in my mind. @sambeckman could you clarify that?

[@mehshutup3041]

I think i know the problem, for us unlocking by touching the sensor is like muscle memory. When we check notification and the phone is unlocked, now you have to swipe up the screen instead of pressing the fingerprint which makes operating it slower. It's for that reason that i decided to turn off face unlock

[@aleatoryr0y]

@@mehshutup3041 Okay, that does make sense. But in that case one should turn off face unlock when they have a muscle memory of unlocking by fingerprint.

[@pudinichigo91]

@@mehshutup3041 then you can just turn off the face unlock if you only need fingerprint scanner only, or you also can set directly go to home screen after unlock the phone without need to swipe

Should I upgrade from my current S20FE to this? Is it worth it? I'm in EU so this is the only Snapdragon by Samsung atm.

That's what i have done but I'm keeping the s20fe as a backup. Its certainly an upgrade to the S23

Appreciate the efforts into his videos!

Hey Sam, loved the video. I have recently purchased this phone but I've been struggling with its battery life. i have to charge it twice to continue using it. Would love to hear from you what settings can be useful to fix this.

2:44 but what do you need the fingerprint icon for if you’ve successfully unlocked with your face? 🤔

[@priyabratasaha3895]

You're a great reviewer. And the most important thing I like about you is that you take your time before reviewing a new phone. Great content ❤️

[@BroEdwardC]

Your video is even better than Samsung or Apple ads honestly. Which camera are you using?

[@andyH_England]

The S23 is a niche product that sells poorly but has a loyal following. The iPhone Mini sold more than this and Apple dumped that as it was not worth making. From the latest sales stats, it is selling poorly, about as bad as the S23+ which is rumoured to maybe discontinued in the next 1-2 years. It is not necessarily because of how good it is, because it is solid, it is because the market has changed. Consumers that want the best will buy the Ultra (Pro on iPhones) and those that do not need the best will get something cheaper, as the S23 at £899 is way too much for what you get versus lower mid-range devices. Apple is seeing the same with their base iPhones. From my experience, it is the best compact phone out there, although that is feint praise as it has little competition. The Zenfone 10 arriving soon may usurp that though. With sales so poor, and Samsung reducing supply to save having warehouses full of unsold stock as they had with the S22 line, it does mean deals are not as healthy and I could only recommend this with a massive deal.

[@randomname_tqrk]

I just got this phone and absolutely love it. As someone with small hands, the smaller size is a huge plus, and without sacrificing real-use battery life.

Why can't samsung make two Ultra's? S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, S23 Ultra+ Why can't there be a small phone which is equally Ultra power as the main ultra. Also, flat fckin screen please!

[@brucewayne8519]

Its called the ultra for a reason lil bro.

[@waeon]

I don't get the face unlock - fingerprint sensor issue you mentioned, if your phone scans your face, why does it matter if the fingerprint icon dissapears? It's already unlocked...just swipe to get in

[@Jack908r]

Fingerprint sensor. One of those things that can annoy the heck out of you because you use it so much. I have the Pixel 7 and its fingerprint sensor, while improved, is still problematic. It is one of the most annoying things on the Pixel 7, so I keep looking at jumping to the s23. Also its better looking than the Pixel 7 in my opinion. Thanks. Good review.

[@_Tryllionaire_]

Fron iphone 12 to 22ultra, to 14 pro and finally s23, this one with the 8gen2 for me is simply the best and i love it ❤

[@alb.4089]

I have the S23 but never used an iphone. I've been thinking about getting the 15 pro even though I have no issues with the S23. Just curious what the iphone hype is all about, do you recommend it?

[@_Tryllionaire_]

@alb.4089 it doesn't matter, the only way to find that out is trying it.😅

[@alb.4089]

@@_Tryllionaire_ True but you switched to Android so I guess you're more happy with Android? 😂

[@_Tryllionaire_]

@alb.4089 me personally yeah. The reason is, I need power in it, no stupid updates deleting all my notes etc... that is the main reason when I updated ios, found out all my note and other documents were deleted or changed. It wasn't a hack, was a bad update. Another reason being, the first month on iphone, the battery seems to never end... after 1 month, battery is sh.t. On the other hand, like I said, s22 ultra was pretty lagging, because of exynos. S23 is the best I had till now.

[@alb.4089]

@@_Tryllionaire_ Thanks I appreciate it. I've heard similar experiences before. I think I'll stick with my S23 and with Android.

[@shadowsteak]

This is a really good device especially for a person like me, who is in the market for a small form factor phone. But but asus Zenfone 10 is also launching & for me headphone jack is a big deal with its 6 axis gimbal stabilization. Would really love it, if u could also review that device too..!❤❤

[@desmotssurlesmauxdmslm2117]

For 799$ or less the S23 is the best compact of this year periode... Even with a smaller battery, the S23 can last you a day. Other than that, the S23 has Dex mode, better cameras, a better operating system, 4 years of Android updates, 5 years of security updates... I think the headphone jack IS not so important compare to all that the S23 offers but the decision is your.

2:44 | I don't really see what's wrong with this? Isn't that the whole point? Your phone is now unlocked? At the same time, I would imagine that you would rather want to use the fingerprint instead of face ID, which in that case I would say, just disable your face ID altogether and use either or

[@ikuturso7570]

As no one has a small phone on offer anymore (13 mini is 2 years old) this is likely my upgrade next year. Finally a Snapdragon in EU and they tend to be nicely priced when next years model comes out.

[@hgrabarnik]

you know s23 is just about 1 mm bigger than iphone 13/14/15, but 15mm bigger than iphone 13 mini? I mean, it's not a "small" phone, it's just as standard as and any 6.1 inch screen phones like base iphones.
