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

@extra4542 Жыл бұрын

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

@BlunderDownUnder Жыл бұрын

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.

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+.

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

128gb ufs 4.0 has a very similar performance to 3.1 so Samsung themselves don't manufacture them. It makes sense to use 3.1 instead because that's what oneplus xioami iqoo and other brands also do

So how much screen on time with the new SD 8 gen 2 and the battery upgrade? 30% is like from 3.5 hr to ? ? ? 4hrs?

It is a minor upgrade from the SD8+G1, which was, in fact, the previous Qualcomm chip, not the SD8G1. They should compare to that, but maybe the NDA from Samsung tells them to not compare.

compared to s22 with exynos it's about 20-30% more durable.

@@clumsysilence my note 8 still works perfectly, other than the battery life, which makes it hard to justify getting a new phone. But who knows how long until other components start failing?
