Selling a $800 60hz phone in late 2023 is a crime against humanity

Phone with no cover is like sex with no protection, Feels good but you gonna regret it.

I've had my base s23 since February, I can't believe how well this phone has performed. No way i can give up multitasking, telephoto lens and 120hz going with the iPhone 15. S23 has much faster usb storage especially on the 256gb version. Paid 749 and it's been worth every penny.

The people that don't mind 60hz are ones who have never used a 120hz screen. I would never, ever would be able to go back to a 60hz screen at this point.

Even my grandpa's $200 phone has 120hz 😂😂

Front = S23 for me (punch hole vs island) Back = S23 for me (prefer the 3 array vertical camera setup) Overall = S23 still. One of the best compact flagship phones

The S23 is such a great phone. I completely agree with you about the 8Gen2, I had the S22 and everything improved a lot, battery, performance, brightness. It truly feels like an upgrade. The iPhone 15 looks great and if you have an iPhone 12 or older it's a great improvement. Great video man!

Damn I really wanted to switch to iPhones this time but S23 is just clearly better😢

It' so sad that apple is still offering 60hz at 800 dollars and there are people still defending it. You can obviously feel the 60 vs 120hz while scrolling on instagram or anything else. It's very prominent and not only a "game" thing.

Both are good solid phones with their own goods and bads, i would lean slightly more towards the s23 personally but i dont really take too much of an advantage of the best both phones provide so i can basically use either without much issues

Hi Mark, rumour has it that the iPhone 16 won’t even have a phone in the Box, 100% kinder to the environment. 😂

Initially I thought no phone can beat iPhone but now I am using Samsung Galaxy S23 it far superior than iPhone, now I am a Samsung Fan boiee....

Yeah, I gotta agree with you. The S 23 is the better phone unless you’re in the apple ecosystem and you have an iPad and an Apple Watch and that sort of deal and then the iPhone report better but that he has 23 is definitely nicer phone

Great work Mark. Down to the point and without any bias. Just simple facts and underlying how much of this is subjective nowadays. Keep up the awesome work.

Like how you review phones, fair and detailed. Good sound & video quality on your videos.🤘🏽

The higher refresh rate definitely helped a lot from a user whom have used both android and ios. I just had to switch back to android. The lag sometimes in ios is unbearable at least for me.

for me, it's s23, better camera setup. I shoot RAW most of the time, and Iphone 15 doesnt have any raw features. On top of that s23 has the better video, no joke the 8k 30 fps in pro mode is superior to whatever iphone 15 offers. I don't mind the file size of that 8k(500-600mb/min)

The battery life on the S23 is phenomenal. After hearing the complaints on the S22 about 2 to 3 hours SOT, I decided to wait for the S23 and boy was I blown away. I get on average 6 hours+ on my phone and that includes some light gaming, lots of snapping pictures, online meetings/video calls and continuous web browsing. Doesn’t matter what I do, the phone doesn’t seem to get hot but occasionally warm if it’s prolonged use. Then there’s the display which is phenomenal. I can finally understand what people mean by the word ‘immersive’ when I’m watching movies because it feels like I’m watching everything play out in front of me thanks to the ultra clear display and viewing angles. There is not a single thing ANY iPhone up to date does better than the S23 and if you don’t believe me, put them up head to head and see for yourself

Dude you're on point with these comparisons. iPhone 15 lasted a day I couldn't get used to the 60hz and the animations felt slow. Great phone and camera but couldn't get used to the display which is a big thing to me. Thanks for taking the time out to explain the differences. Back to the safety of Android lol

I’ve watch a lot of comparisons that don’t mention the weight of the devices, but you do, you won my like click

Both great phones but I vote for the S23. The S23 offers way more for the money. Compared more with the Iphone 15 Pro. Hole punch way better than dynamic island. S23 has 3 cameras. The S23 feels much lighter and a bit smaller in the hand.

Thanks man. Great video... again! You're the best! I have the S23 Ultra. And i love it. But i do also like the iPhone 15. My bro bought one and i could check how awesome this iPhone is... titanium is 👌. Great photos and great video stabilisation. But i also think that the S23 Ultra is a beast. So... it's a personal taste and decision.

S23 is legit so underrated, it is amazing and the iPhone 15 is just a spec in its shadow

I have both of them S23 ultra and iphone 15 plus.I use them the whole day especially for shooting videos and photos ,not for gaming.Iphone 15 is by far the best one while it supports cinematic mode 4k 30fps,super stabilized action mode and the perfect photo using the back cameras!From the other hand,s23 has the best front camera for taking photos and its faster in editing videos than the iphone.According to the battery,iphone plus is the easy winner(not the others iphone15series)So in my opinion after using both of them as my daily drivers,Iphone 15 the plus model,is the greatest phone i ever had in my life and s23 ultra follows.

Mark, thank you for this comparisson, it's very useful for me before buying one of these items. btw, what skin case are you using(white back case)? could you please provide the link for the Samsung one

You should indicate which picture is from what phone while doing camera comparison.

Great video! I agree that the s23 just offers so much more and I would avoid the iphone just because who wants to have the same phone as everybody and their mother?

I don't know which one is better all i know I've been Galaxy fan since day one. And I've always been happy with it. I trade in my phone for updated one only because the current one is broken internally( it old) i do the trading every 5-6 years, i guess that is the life guarentee of the phone lol. I'm excite to get my S23 FE this week! Out the S8 Plus. For me if it works I'm good i don't need any special features or any if that " the super cool ph" lol. I'm cheap when comes to phones i wait until the price goes very low than i trade my current phone. I refused to pay $800 phones. $200-300 works for me just fine. That'll last me for the 5-6 years 😊. Your video is very informative thank you!

Does the iPhone 15 have the DI and that new side button?

Hello Mark👋. Sorry if this seems like a question so random and personal for you to share (you don't have to share), but I was just wondering what phone you use as your day-to-day driver.

Great comparison. Recommendation: place the phone name over the image or video when comparing

Samsung Dex alone as a feature makes an S23 better than any I - phone.

Love to see it! Apple fan boy, as you call yourself, trying to make peace between Samsung and Apple fan boys. 🤝

Ive switched from an iPhone SE to Samsung S22+ and im more than happy lol

I prefer shadows in mobile phone photography. My pixel overdoes HDR and the photos look pasty and terrible because of this . I guess it all down to personal preference. On my mirror less camera i expose so the shadows are deeper and more contrasty . Out of these 2 devices i prefer the iPhone 15 although the S23 has great zoom. Both seem great devices 👍

Proud S23 owner since 3 months now. Before had the S8, S4, S3, and some A models inbetween or as second phone. I don`t see myself switching to apple. especially now when samsung is also killing it on the camera and software speed.

i was an iphone fan for a long time, first android after many years was a pixel phone, and today i am using an S23, i am not looking anymore on iphone products :D

Spent 550euros on the s23 and got the Samsung galaxy buds 2 pro with it. 256gb. I'm very happy with it.

WATCHING IT ON S23 120HZ DISPLAY REVERSE WIRELES CHARGING 25 WATT FAST CHARGING 2 PHYSICAL SIM CALL RECORDING 📞 30x zoom EASY AND BUDGET FRIENDLY REPAIRS Punch hole design much better than big dynamic island 🏝 Here in India s23 is available in 55k inr. But iPhone 15 is 80k inr.

I’m also team caseless. I draw the line at naked screens though. Have to have a screen protector because the screen is what you look at so any scratches will catch your eye.

I have both. Iphone is very easy. After opening the phone, I dont have to touch any setting and just use. Its perfect for elderly who doesnt know how to operate the phone. On contrast, Samsung phone constantly bothers you with different useless notifications which drives you nuts if your not a Android guys. I have to constantly mess with the setting and and turn off all the notifications manually. it usually takes around a month for the setting to finish. But once all the setting is the, definitely one UI is more better software and easy to use. But lots off people dont know how to manipulate the setting thats why for some people, IOS better.

Just got rid of the screen protector for my S23 Plus, and I am so happy about that! The screen is very durable and the display and vibration feedback have been amazing without the protector!

Thats the clear like night and day , that S23 is by far better phone, and even cheaper, in my country S23 is 150$ cheaper.. also samsung always have gifts action, my friend by S23 and samsung give him GWatch 5 for free..

I had to have a case with my SS21 because it was honestly too damn slippery naked 😂 I do love this phone but looking too possibly upgrade soon. Love the design of the iphone 15 but not sure yet.

hi, i own a samsung note20 and looking at another spare(ip15 considered). Any issues with cybersecurity on your s23 vs iOS? seems like Android is a magnet for such issues and if your iP15 gets spam messages, potential break ins? been told only Android has this issue. thanks and great write up.

Yesterday I bought the Samsung S23 brand new from my phone operator for €475 ($520) on the black weekend sale. Really good price!

Why did you say more warmer? Is that correct?

Your iPhone colour meets your EYE COLOUR 😮😮❤❤

Just got a galaxy s23 for $397 in open box condition- literally looks brand new and is unlocked for any carrier. Was looking at the pixel 8, but even on sale it would be $100 more. Gonna sell my iPhone 15 plus, as I don’t like how big the phone is and I wanna go back to the android os.

Want camera comparison between these two. Kindly make a video on it

could you attach the video where you talk about 60 hz vs 120hz screen? 😁

I like small phones. I have s22 and the size is perfect. Im still using s10e for my 2nd phone.

13 pro max second hand or 15 new?

Did I miss which photo belongs to which camera in comparison?? It's not labelled.

Great review

This helped thanks

Please tell me which camera are you using for this video recording?

writing the device under the photos would be helpful

Please make a long term review on 23Ultra 🙏🙏🙏

I like the openness of Android. F-Droid and ReVanced has me onboard. I feel that iphone overprocesses the photos too much.

I got a s23 (used) almost new for 450€ this price with this specs and good hold on hand its a good deal i made

You can easly correct over exposures issues by tapping on the subject before taking shots.

Watching on my Galaxy S23 cream color.

I’m an iPhone guy. But the aesthetics of the S23 are much more stylish. The iPhones look cheap and brick-ish. The S23 is classier looking and doesn’t have the dynamic island, which is just a blob on the screen. Why do I stay with iPhones - the syncing between devices works really well, and Airdrop is exceptionally helpful for my needs.

Hi, can you try social media versus Samsung s23 vs iphone 15

Imma be honest. My father got me a Honor 8a cuz I didn't have a fun for about to years and he didn't want to spend much. But I got used to Samsung's one UI and when I saw the Honor UI,my god,the differences were unbelievable. I can't tell you how bad now I think of vanilla Android is (or any stock Android UI) in terms of just flipping around the phone,I had never felt so weird of a phone despite the fact I used to main Huawie for about 4 years and I can't just digest that type of UI anymore.

Bought 15 Pro a few days ago till S24 Ultra is there, I'm not impressed by anything of the phone, be it any, not even the Camera, my 6 times cheaper Realme 9 Pro+ still takes better looking and almost all the time better quality photos, iPhone's photos are always low on colors, saturation and dark. Even in low-light video, for example, I was recording from a flight window and there was nothing visible in iPhone, I had to use my Realme to record it. I'm so unimpressed that I actually asked my collegaues using iPhones that is this how the picture quality is or am I missing some settings in it, for now, I'm still considering iPhone 15 Pro as my secondary phone and I've no use of it, I don't even take it out of my pocket because there's nothing I need it for. My so-so cheap Realme 9 Pro+ is still an overall better phone. I'm not impressed by the battery life or the super slow charging speed either. Also, that scratch thing, even I noticed a similar more-than-a scratch on my iPhone the very 2nd day and I know how delicately I was keeping it, seems like it's a name-sake ceramic. I'm keeping it till the day S24 Ultra is out and till then, iPhone is an investment as I'd sell it for at least 20% more than what I've purchased it for from another country.

Yeah, you broke it down same that i have lately, there's literally no excuse to have a shit phone these days even on a budget. With just some patience, the options for refurbished/used phones online for around 100-150$ is outstanding i'm talking the s20 or s20+, s20 ultra for around 200 bucks you just can't beat that. Even that phone can take those amazing zoomed up moon pictures, 5g and 120hz... literally, its barely lacking much from the s23 ultra and the s20/s20+ isnt lacking much from the s23/s23+ and that's just fact. Me, got a galaxy a54 5g new from Metro earlier this year... under 100 bucks new customers, even CHEAPER for existing customers. And just me but the a54 is literally flawless every experience all in all aside one, high end gaming. But even that it handles great but after about 30min phone is just nearly on fire lol. But aside that and the screen bezzles I'd think it's an s23 easy. But now the s23 FE just came out and metro is throwing it out for the same 100$ deal😪 funny thing is, don't even need it where i don't game all THAT much mobile and so aside that, this a54 is already more than everything i want & need in a phone, every way, every time flawlessly.👌 The only upside to 2023 lol

I have this very s23 and it wins big when it comes to the new year model of its series [from my previous samsung smartphones].🤩

is it possible to do split display and multitasking on iPhone???

After a literal decade of Samsung (the OG S3 user here), I’m done with them. The S22 is the final straw for me. The performance is disgusting, terrible camera, atrocious battery, and lack of polish.

I'm trying to upgrade from a one plus 9 5g, and I'm so used to charging from basically dead to full in like 30 min that having to wait double that scares me, small gripe tho i guess, should be a solid upgrade lol

Galaxy s23 is the best phone. IV had many phones and being very picky and fussy I couldn't get happy with anything but S23, it's a great phone

I just exchange my old 12 mini with s23 I got it for 27k including bank offers and I'm really happy with it.🎉

Its 45 Watts on the S23 with a fast charger.

It probably depends on previous and other devices that u use or used witch one u re gonna buy. I would go for s23 cus i am a samsung fan.

I've got a 3 months used S23 256gb with papers and everything at 400 euros and i coundn't be happier, a beast of a phone and the size is just perfect for everything including watching videos or movies

The number thing ive found to be the best feeling on the S23 is the auto rotation. Its SPOT ON. I turn my phone a little and BOOM its rotated, its amazing. On my pixel 8, i rotate the phone, twist it, turn it, do it all over and THEN it decides to flip horizontally. Ive never found a phone like the pixel 8 that simply cant tell when its verticle compared to horizontal, one of tbe dumbest thjngs ever for such a smart, ai driven phone.

If you have ipad and macbook, choose iphone 15 If not, clear win for s23

Using my s23 and it is so much smoother than iPhone currently. 5-13-24 I use both. And lately the s23 has been killing it.

I have the 21 plus and every since I was 17, I've had Samsung no problems. I've been wanting to switch to iPhone since the 13 just don't know if I should go for the 15 or just upgrade my Samsung

There's no phone on earth worth these prices. You pay for the name.

Really enjoy your reviews of all phones. Currently I have a iPhone 14 Plus, thinking about going with android ! Maybe pixel 7, 7pro or galaxy 23 plus . Any thoughts about my choices? Regards, John

All phones get hot ? Nope ,still using the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and it has never gone hot

S23 ❤, thanks for the video.

If you compare any Samsung phone with even the iPhone 5s, the winner will be the iPhone.

Its down to what ever os you prefer

And that's comparing one year old gen galaxy with the latest gen iPhone. Imagine comparing s24 with iPhone 15. Phew, phew, phew.😂

The iPhone 15 has the ability to send emergency messages via satellite when there’s no cellular connection. This is a great feature for people who go hiking or travel back roads.

Just bought iPhone 15 ......December 2023 , but completly agree with you

I love the s23 so much. The 15 is fire also

the position you left on Twitter depends on the app implementation not on the amount of ram

ye samsung has 120hz display but limited by the software to reduce battery usage. in the other hand iphone has stable 60hz with good battery life so it feels smoother everytime I used iphone.

The S23 matches or beats the iPhone 15 in almost every category except for one: video. Nothing tops iPhones in video right now

I can't get over how many reviewers treat this comparison as thought it's an entirely free choice. It rarely is. For almost everyone there's sunk cost involved, both in terms of experience (hours and hours spent on an OS) and money (apps purchased, services you need to find a replacement for, etc). Most people won't even consider a switch of OS because despite manufacturer's best attempts, it's still a hassle.

Thank you 😊

Of course we want a camera comparison. Lol

i am using samsung since 2012, so samsung is my favourite always. also using ipad.

Bought a s23 plus,i traded in my s21 ultra+542£ and got it.i received my s23 plus and i received a gift samsung galaxy watch 5 worth 300£.Now who tell me to choose iphone instead samsung?
