@Tomy Boy I have all 3 the ultra is just big and expensive the base s23 will have at least 30 minutes less battery but will save a lot of money the plus is the best not big wide and will give an extra hour over the ultra so I'll go for the plus
Here I am, after saving for s23 ultra, got my mind changed at the store because of how compact and comfortable the s23 is compare to the ultra. It was like "do i really need a phone (s23 ultra) this big?" then proceeds buying the s23 instead. no regret and I was able to save money too.

Got the s23 this week and have the s21 to compare side to side. Booth screens are vibrant and very similar, but the s23 really does look crisp AF. The smaller size makes a difference. My bf always goes for the biggest phone he can get, and even he was telling me how crisp the s23 look.
I was able to find samsung s21 for 120$ and I wA over the moon because my Pixel 8 was just not doing it for me. Then the day after I was able to find a Samsung S23 for only 200$! Had a cracked Ultrawide lense but everything works and I can hands down say, this is the best phone I've used in a while. I've fully been on the s23 for about 1 week now and it's just incredible in every way. Battery, screen, speakers, DEX, ETC. I love being able to use DEX to drag files from my PC to my phone over the air! I definitely think the camera can be hit n miss, but with the right lighting it's always going to be a hit! My parents have iphone 15's and I had a pixel 8 and this S23 definitely crushes those phones IMO
Your absolutely right about this phone for everyday use. I did order the ultra first of all but found it far too big to use daily...so l got the 23 instead...love it! Good vid by the way!
I love my S23. It's small and compact and it's the perfect size for my needs. It's snappy and fast too, which is fantastic. I can't wait to use the camera more.🐬🐬
Back 2021 couple months after S21 launch, I choose the vanilla s21 for it's price. I was mainly for it's huge 12MP camera with a sensor size that was huge for a 12 MP. Now still using the phone I'm glad to have 64MP crop zoom camera which double as a true 64MP high res camera when needed.
Hey, Hekuran! Hahaha, thanks for staying 😆 I am really happy to hear that you enjoyed the video! I'll do my best to keep bringing helpful content for you guys!
just bought s23. Best device. Compact, powerful, good looking, way better handling the iphone 14. Every is so amazing with this device. Also it's cheaper than iphone in spain
Other half has an S10e as he likes a small phone. I think this is similar in size and will possibly replace his phone. We use cameras a lot for work so good camers, ease of use, fast phones are a must.
I didn't initially intend to get a galaxy but you're right about the feel. I was surprised by how good the video you took is! I think it'll take a while for people to realize that the larger phones are just too unweildy for long term use and what they really want is probably a smaller daily phone and a larger tablet or monitor for video...
Such a great video dude! I'm usually a fan of the Pro Max models from Apple, but wow, the way that phone looks in your hand looks incredible! Also, the B-roll is beautiful 😍
I did not think I would like this phone, little smaller, thinner, light. Yeah, I learned it is excellent. Great battery, great color, fast and just feels like it fits. You nailed it, and I will get much more features from this phone. Thanks for the honest review.
How much do you use the camera and how much of a downgrade you feel the S23 is in this regard? I'm on the fence between getting a S23 brand new 512GB or an used S22 Ultra 256GB. The main reason I upgrade phones generally is the camera (hobbyist photographer), but the non-Ultra S line cameras are stagnant for a few generations now. The Ultra is too big for me also, but I guess I could live with it (perfect size for me would be the Plus, not the base)
I've been using my S23 since June (3 months now) and I love how compact it is, it's very convenient and overall so good that it kind of revived my phone addiction after I had been using my old Sony Xperia XA2 for over 5 years before the S23, so that's a weird disadvantage here, but I try to contain myself, lol. One thing that I would've preferred to be better is the camera, especially in low light (read "as good or better than the competition, i.e. the Pixel, iPhone, etc.). Not that it's bad, the camera is good, it's just that photography is a hobby of mine so I'm a bit of a perfectionist in that regard.
@anuragghosh2582 It's really good, much better than I expected. I usually don't overuse it throughout the day, but in any case, it lasts the day most days. Overall, I'm satisfied with the device, how compact and powerful it is, and its battery life.
@@anuragghosh2582 They're not something groundbreaking, but I'd say they're pretty good for a phone. The top one is the same as the one for calls, I think, and there's the one on the bottom, so this setup creates a decent stereo sound.
I switched from an S21 to an iPhone 13 mini, but after 2 years I’m tired of iOS and I miss customization of Android. I’m deciding between the Zenfone 10 and the S23… having a hard time coming to terms with having to go back to a 6.1” screen from my little 5.4” mini, but I think getting back to Android may be worth it. The itty bitty form factor is extremely appealing tho. I won’t be getting rid of my mini… maybe I’ll switch back and forth between an android device and Apple device 😂
I loved iphone13mini though... reliable and solid, but colours of photos were not natural, I've tried everything but still didn't quite come out right. Audio was quiet, too. And ios wasn't easy to use like Android.
Using the phone for about 3 months now,no comment about its overall performance,it is optimised excellently unlike the previous S series.liked your thoughts about the device(since I am a user).all the best.
Hey, Raffy! 100% agree! Part of me thought to include about performance specifically, but I didn't feel there was much to say. I figured showing the smoothness and quality of heavy gaming, and the OS smoothness I'm BRoll shots would speak for itself. Congrats on having the S23! Awesome phone!
for most people a phone is just used to call text and use social media so they won't use it to max at all I love my s23 its not small to me its just the right size to fit in my pocket
Planning to switch from iPhone 11 to S23... My major concern is, the way iPhone has so smooth UI experience + no jitter/lags.. Will I be able to use this S23 for next 3 years with running so smoothly like today? I need a compact light and easy handling phone
just get the 256gb version that has faster storage, i don't think the hardware will let you down. About the UI its pure smooth but not perfect even as a new phone that said it will be blazing fast for at least 4 ears.
I have a Samsung Note 10 and it's as fast as it was day 1 with zero jitters/lags (even my ancient S8 is fine still); the S23, with its far more powerful specs, would be even better. Laggy Samsung flagships are a thing of the distant past.
I've been using the S series for 5 years now and yeah, they don't let you down on the performance and the smooth UI. This also comes with a whopping 120 Hz display. Don't worry about the jitters and lags, the performance is definitely what you paid for. Don't listen to the other guy, this phone has an amazing battery (last year's model had shit battery) and compared to the iphone 14, this battery lasts like 10x longer

Hey, Mia! Good to see you again! Your profile picture always makes me laugh 😂😂😂😂 And I have, actually! Another viewer mentioned a Day In The Life video, so I think that may be a good fit for the upcoming Pixel Fold and Fold 5! I appreciate your kind words and positivity as always 😁 🤗 Love from the US! 🇺🇸 I hope you have a great day today!
🐢 🐬 ... I have the S23U and absolutely love it ... But I wish Samsung had 2 choices when it came to the Ultra line like Apple does for their Pro line. Are the speakers on the phone loud and clear for music and video content? Thanks for another great video
🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬 5 Dolphins absolutely! Been using my S23 for 3 months already. This would be the best smartphone that I ever used in my life. Ultra speed, no lags, AWESOME CAMERA and modt of all the BATTERY LIFE!
Aside from my subjective preference for OxygenOS of old (and hence current Asus ZenUI on the Zenfone), vs Samsung's OneUI, the better battery life is too a reason I went for the Zenfone 10 over the S23. That and I can get 16GB RAM and 512GB storage which, in the S23 range you'd need to go for a bigger device for. I know it's lacking in some areas (camera setup, though I prefer the end results at a glance in terms of pleasant viewing vs. actual quality and detail, 0.2" of screen, and ironically is a slightly thicker and taller phone - though slimmer in width and one handed mode is excellent), but otherwise I'm just glad to go to a smaller flagship device with good battery and solid performance. I think with both the existence of the S23 and the Zenfone 10 there's scope for "compact" mobile phones to exist in future.
Note also huge screen brightness difference and software updates that asus will provide only for 2 versions of android. In plus for zenfone is mini jack of course.
I just got my Samsung S23+ 2 months ago and it's simply brilliant. From the design, the feel, display, battery life - I am blown away! Having switching over from another Samsung A52S, my experience with Samsung is really good. Take care everyone. Greetings from Singapore. 🥂
ive had my s23 around about 6 months now it is hands down the best phone ive ever used, its fast, small, light convientent to carry, its got an amazing camera and a really good battery life (i just dropped my phone in water, and after 5 minutes the charge port dried up and its working normally ths is an amazing phone.
This thing is a furnace - it heats up way too easily, even with normal use. I had to switch the performance profile from standard to light to limit the heat buildup at least a bit. Really disappointed with the phone's cooling system. The battery is not great, either. I don't consider it to be worthy of all the hype it generates.
I recently removed the cover and started using my phone (OnePlus 8T since 2020), and oh my. This phone has not only NEVER given me any trouble, but it feels the best in hand. Slim, curved edges, and light as a feather. I'm so used to the power and now the feel of this phone that I'm brushing aside any thoughts of buying a new one.
your voice declare that you are the real man, btw as s23 user genshin impact is good for first 10 minute,, but you can get framedrop after that, around 50 fps even 40 fpsif instal game plug in and also alternate gaming performance you good to go
That's defintely understandable, it is quite a big boi haha. The S23 is a really nice form factor in the hand and packs all of the power (minus the spen)
How do you get 7-7,5 hours screen in time? Mine will last half of the time and i'm no gamer, screen is on 60 hz, brightness of the screen very low, amost all notifications of and no apps running on the background. I don't know what to do😢
The only downsides imo are the absence of fast charging (I use a fast-charging phone right now and don't really want to downgrade), the small display (I like multitasking), and Samsung's never-ending problem with the fingerprint scanner under the screen protectors. However, I appreciate long-term software support (I usually use phones for 3-4 years), OneUI, design, cameras, and the chipset of course. This phone (256 GB version) is on sale for 730$ right now where I live, so is it worth buying? I wish I could find something that fits my needs perfectly, but I'm understanding that this is impossible without spending a fortune.
I agree with the fast charging aspect, But Small Display and Fingerprint scanner?? Nahh, I bought the phone just for the smaller display because it is a one handed phone and it is beautiful and so good to use, even the fingerprint sensor which is an ultrasonic one and is damn underrated, Mine works just fine with the screen protectors too, U should look into a lot of reviews too the post lately on how good it is. In India, it is costing lesser after all the offers and discounts and for that price, I say its worth it, esp. with the latest hardware, great performance good battery optimizations along with it, best glass panels for protection, latest transfer speed ports, fastest storage and ram, screen and good set of cameras n many more, for this price u cant find any phone which ticks all the boxes. N I m saying for an android phone at this price range.
I had issues with the fingerprint scanner on my first screen protector, almost returned the phone. Then I got a slightly lighter protector and it works fine. Not really a fan of one UI but it IS very customizable so it works
I was really disappointed when my S22 failed. It was in warranty but Samsung said it couldn’t be repaired. They’re giving me an S23. Looks like I’ve had a bit of good fortune. S22 owners don’t expect longevity.
I'm looking for something in the size of zenfone 9 (I have the S20) Don't know what to buy for the first time in a long time. The playing field seems to have been leveled the last three years
I own the ultra. Like it dont love it. Mainly the size. It really is huge. 650 for the 256gb on prime day. There is no way way i was going to pass this up. Im looking forward to getting it tomorrow
I love my s23. I came from a s22 Ultra. I just never cared for it, never used the stylus and hated the size. I have large hands and the s23 feels much better, I was able to do a straight up trade. No regrets. I wish they would keep the screen size at 6inches, I really think it's perfect. Unfortunately, it looks like the s24 base model is 6.2 inches.
How much do you use the camera and how much of a downgrade you feel the S23 is in this regard? I'm on the fence between getting a S23 brand new 512GB or a S22 Ultra 256GB second hand. The main reason I upgrade phones generally is the camera (hobbyist photographer), but the non-Ultra S line cameras are stagnant for a few generations now. The Ultra is too big for me also, but I guess I could live with it (perfect size for me would be the Plus, not the base) btw, S24 is 6.2" but it's the exactly same external size as the S23.
I’ve been thinking about buying one to replace my 13 pro max. Just kind of tired of Apple and its horrible keyboard and autocorrect. I had a s8+ for 3 years no issues, loved that phone. The Samsung experience to me is the best android experience - and yes I owned a pixel and it was terrible.
i couldn't find a dolphin so here is a happy ghost👻i get e s23 tomorrow and i ordered it because my other phone died and i didn't know jack doody and your video really help so now i am as happy as these ghosts! 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻
Hey, Zenn! Hahahahahah, you are the first person to ever comment a ghost on one of my videos 🤣 I dig it! Congratulations on the 23 tomorrow, and I am super happy to hear that this video could help! ENJOY! Let me know what You think!
🐬 The main reason I want this phone is because it's almost the most advanced phone ever and checks most of features that I want. 1) Compact size without compromising on the battery. 2) Flawless performance and fully borderless snappy screen. 3) All cameras are very good, even the telephoto is great for 10x zoom AND the is NO crappy macro lens. 4) The Samsung android skin (UI) is the best looking IMO and gives the most OS updates (untill today's Pixel 8) 5) All the reviews that I encountered are very positive and it's very reassuring. The cons : The price is very high in Europe (about 1000 euros and that's about 1100 dollars for the 128gb variant :/ (Not sure but does the system still use half the internal storage for no reason ??)
Absolutely amazing and also am a samsung user only samsung user but there only problem I'm having with galaxy product is only the blury aspect when I upload on my whatsapp status
That's because WhatsApp doesn't allow you to directly upload picture in HD mode in status. You can fix this by first sending the picture in HD mode to yourself or someone in WhatsApp, and then share that file to status. That way the quality would be way better
The video you took with the phone is amazing and also overall your editing of your videos is too good, specially from 6.43 to 6.45, superb, that was some hollywood level.
Couldn't agree more with the size.. I have been using big phone since the Huawei Mate 20Pro, the Samsung S20 Ultra, Google Pixel 6 Pro, and suddenly switching to this mini 6.1inch, is just nice, pocketable, ultralight, and screen's a lot easier to reach.. Guess part of it because im not really into watching videos on-the-go anymore, more like general usage, and social media here and there.. Great phone, and great price with the trade-in
🐢 also keep in mind ufs 4.0 is for the 256gb. The 128 uses 3.1 ive been deep diving this phone and i really want it, but i wanna wait for a decent sale. Also the zenfone 10 is on my radar as a pretty decent competitor especially because a charger is incl in the box
S23 uses kind of low speed UFS 4.0 memory anyway (compared to other flagships), not much of a difference between the 256 and the 128, other than sequential write speeds (check Notebookcheck review/test).
Eyyy! A Destiny 2 enjoyer! You earned a sub just for that. ;) Also, great review! I just had to order the phone after watching this video. I know you will probably not see this comment since the video is 5 months old, but if you do. Keep up the grind and game on! :D
Eric on the Turtle AND Peach Squad 👀 This is an enigma 👀 I am also looking forward to the Fold 5! And the Pixel Fold in a few weeks from now. What phone are you on now?
I'd been holding out for the flip 5 but after this review I'm leaning towards s23. A compact phone with a decent camera... I think this is the one, cheers David 😊
I started a trade in for my s23 for the flip 5, but when i got the flip 5 i did not like thr form factor, feel and overall experiance of it over the flip 5! I am currently in the process of returning my flip 5 and getting a refund for it!
@@T3CHGY007 I'm keen to see if the future models of z flip become even more compact. Once the cameras are on par or exceed the s series flagship, I'll likely make the switch 👍
I'm same, but I actually traded my s23 ultra for flip 5, it's cool but too tall and too narrow. So I gave it to my wife ( she loves it) and just ordered the s23. I know I'll love this phone since I got tired of the huge 23 ultra
Hey there! Oh whoops. I meant to bump it to 5. Only reason for bumping it is because my thoughts are the exact same at this juncture, I don't want to waste anyone's time with a brand new video. But thank you for noticing! I will change it now.
the more i see the more i like my 23 . . guys, s23 users , try call background animation videos , i just luv to see that graphics when making/recieving calls and i explored that after 1 month . .
Waiting for a price drop of this in the future. I just can't with larger phones, this may sound stupid but I'd really rather spend an extra sum of money on a compact phone than settle for a midranger that feels like you're holding brick 😐
I found that the hapticks and the speaker are better on this phone then the s24+ as I had that phone before I got this one. Love the size of this phone and hope Samsung continues to make the smaller phone in the future.
really wanted to get base s23 or 23+ cause s23u is just too large, but, I can't do without the s-pen (i dont use it 95% of the time, but, it's worth the 5% of the time usage)
I had the S9, S21 and was tempted to upgrade to the S23 because my mom's just feels so good. But since my S21 still works just fine and is still supported I chose to wait

Back 2021 couple months after S21 launch, I choose the vanilla s21 for it's price. I was mainly for it's huge 12MP camera with a sensor size that was huge for a 12 MP. Now still using the phone I'm glad to have 64MP crop zoom camera which double as a true 64MP high res camera when needed.
Came for the tech videos, stayed for the voice
Great video!
Hey, Hekuran! Hahaha, thanks for staying 😆 I am really happy to hear that you enjoyed the video! I'll do my best to keep bringing helpful content for you guys!

just bought s23. Best device. Compact, powerful, good looking, way better handling the iphone 14. Every is so amazing with this device. Also it's cheaper than iphone in spain
Congratulations. If you don't know it has a Super Fast Charging option. You have to get a 25 watt charger. Any brand works I bought mine off Amazon.
Other half has an S10e as he likes a small phone. I think this is similar in size and will possibly replace his phone. We use cameras a lot for work so good camers, ease of use, fast phones are a must.
update? (want to know how the other half reacted)
I also use the s10e and recently got the s23, i'm a big fan.
using s23 256 GB vairant, man this little thing is just soo good and powerful
I have had my s23 for a few months now, and all i can say is that it it simply amazing! a great experiance! 😊
I didn't initially intend to get a galaxy but you're right about the feel. I was surprised by how good the video you took is! I think it'll take a while for people to realize that the larger phones are just too unweildy for long term use and what they really want is probably a smaller daily phone and a larger tablet or monitor for video...
The only reason I haven't got this phone yet is because I'm waiting for the price to drop. It's perfect
Right now they are giving extra tradein money
Don't wait for much long. The appetite doesn't stay long...the price may remain the same till S24 releases.
I was waiting too, in my country was around regular price until recently, now it dropped to around 350€ with contract, crazy price drop.
Such a great video dude! I'm usually a fan of the Pro Max models from Apple, but wow, the way that phone looks in your hand looks incredible! Also, the B-roll is beautiful 😍
Ant! So sorry I missed this. But thanks a ton, man! I don't blame you. The Pro Max is an excellent phone.
I was surprised I enjoyed the 23 this much!
7:37 wow! the details on that portrait are mind blowing 😮
Right! This phone is a heavyweight despite the small size!
@@DavidAVelez1 keep that amazing job right on the way ❤️
Great video and audio quality BIG RESPECT for you
I have it since February and it's the best phone I've had. So compact and powerful, impossible to go back to a none-one hand phone after
till it started lagging
I did not think I would like this phone, little smaller, thinner, light. Yeah, I learned it is excellent. Great battery, great color, fast and just feels like it fits. You nailed it, and I will get much more features from this phone. Thanks for the honest review.
I love these smaller phones that dont compromise performance. I'm tired of these big phones it looks like I'm carrying a brick in my pocket.
Just traded in my s22u for the s23+. Best decision. So much happier with the smaller size and the battery is actually better. Never used the spen.
I did the same, 6 mo ths later i still love the phone so much
How much do you use the camera and how much of a downgrade you feel the S23 is in this regard?
I'm on the fence between getting a S23 brand new 512GB or an used S22 Ultra 256GB. The main reason I upgrade phones generally is the camera (hobbyist photographer), but the non-Ultra S line cameras are stagnant for a few generations now. The Ultra is too big for me also, but I guess I could live with it (perfect size for me would be the Plus, not the base)
I went from the S23 plus to the S23 Ultra to the S23... I wished i chose the S23 from the beginning. It's such a good phone..
Well, look at Mr. Moneybags over here
I've been using my S23 since June (3 months now) and I love how compact it is, it's very convenient and overall so good that it kind of revived my phone addiction after I had been using my old Sony Xperia XA2 for over 5 years before the S23, so that's a weird disadvantage here, but I try to contain myself, lol.
One thing that I would've preferred to be better is the camera, especially in low light (read "as good or better than the competition, i.e. the Pixel, iPhone, etc.). Not that it's bad, the camera is good, it's just that photography is a hobby of mine so I'm a bit of a perfectionist in that regard.
How's the battery life ??
@anuragghosh2582 It's really good, much better than I expected. I usually don't overuse it throughout the day, but in any case, it lasts the day most days. Overall, I'm satisfied with the device, how compact and powerful it is, and its battery life.
@@Incognit0777 Ohh i see. And how are the speakers btw?? If you don't mind me asking 😂😂
@@anuragghosh2582 They're not something groundbreaking, but I'd say they're pretty good for a phone. The top one is the same as the one for calls, I think, and there's the one on the bottom, so this setup creates a decent stereo sound.
@@Incognit0777 Ohh right, thanks!
I ordered mine yesterday. I absolutely will not use phone bigger than 6.1 inch so this is gonna be great!
I thought super steady was capped at 2k. It's mind-blowing to know it can do 4k.
This phone is a beast in a small package!
@DAVTech yup! I'm reminded of this every day! Glad I decided to go for it.
I switched from an S21 to an iPhone 13 mini, but after 2 years I’m tired of iOS and I miss customization of Android. I’m deciding between the Zenfone 10 and the S23… having a hard time coming to terms with having to go back to a 6.1” screen from my little 5.4” mini, but I think getting back to Android may be worth it. The itty bitty form factor is extremely appealing tho. I won’t be getting rid of my mini… maybe I’ll switch back and forth between an android device and Apple device 😂
I loved iphone13mini though... reliable and solid, but colours of photos were not natural, I've tried everything but still didn't quite come out right. Audio was quiet, too. And ios wasn't easy to use like Android.
Using the phone for about 3 months now,no comment about its overall performance,it is optimised excellently unlike the previous S series.liked your thoughts about the device(since I am a user).all the best.
Hey, Raffy!
100% agree! Part of me thought to include about performance specifically, but I didn't feel there was much to say. I figured showing the smoothness and quality of heavy gaming, and the OS smoothness I'm BRoll shots would speak for itself.
Congrats on having the S23! Awesome phone!
@@DavidAVelez1 thanks bro for the review, hopefully I can get it next month.
@manny6669 Absolutely! I enjoy making content for you guys, and am always happy to help!
I've just bought an S23 and am currently waiting for it to arrive, the phone looks great!
Hey i am planning to buy s23 now should i go forward with it , btw i am a student.
Yeah
Excuse me?! That deep voice?! 😳 Amazing
for most people a phone is just used to call text and use social media so they won't use it to max at all I love my s23 its not small to me its just the right size to fit in my pocket
Planning to switch from iPhone 11 to S23...
My major concern is, the way iPhone has so smooth UI experience + no jitter/lags.. Will I be able to use this S23 for next 3 years with running so smoothly like today?
I need a compact light and easy handling phone
just get the 256gb version that has faster storage, i don't think the hardware will let you down. About the UI its pure smooth but not perfect even as a new phone that said it will be blazing fast for at least 4 ears.
I have a Samsung Note 10 and it's as fast as it was day 1 with zero jitters/lags (even my ancient S8 is fine still); the S23, with its far more powerful specs, would be even better. Laggy Samsung flagships are a thing of the distant past.
Only worry about the battery. Everything else is dope
@@uniqueurlbattery is fine bro
I've been using the S series for 5 years now and yeah, they don't let you down on the performance and the smooth UI. This also comes with a whopping 120 Hz display. Don't worry about the jitters and lags, the performance is definitely what you paid for. Don't listen to the other guy, this phone has an amazing battery (last year's model had shit battery) and compared to the iphone 14, this battery lasts like 10x longer
Have you considered doing a vlog, integrating the use of your daily driver (I know you like the Fold4 for your work) in your life? I'm curious!

Hey, Mia! Good to see you again! Your profile picture always makes me laugh 😂😂😂😂
And I have, actually! Another viewer mentioned a Day In The Life video, so I think that may be a good fit for the upcoming Pixel Fold and Fold 5!
I appreciate your kind words and positivity as always 😁 🤗
Love from the US! 🇺🇸 I hope you have a great day today!
🐢 🐬 ... I have the S23U and absolutely love it ... But I wish Samsung had 2 choices when it came to the Ultra line like Apple does for their Pro line. Are the speakers on the phone loud and clear for music and video content? Thanks for another great video
🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬
5 Dolphins absolutely! Been using my S23 for 3 months already. This would be the best smartphone that I ever used in my life. Ultra speed, no lags, AWESOME CAMERA and modt of all the BATTERY LIFE!
my S23 bought a couple of days ago the battery life is not so good, only having around 5 hours of SOT :( i wonder why
Aside from my subjective preference for OxygenOS of old (and hence current Asus ZenUI on the Zenfone), vs Samsung's OneUI, the better battery life is too a reason I went for the Zenfone 10 over the S23. That and I can get 16GB RAM and 512GB storage which, in the S23 range you'd need to go for a bigger device for.
I know it's lacking in some areas (camera setup, though I prefer the end results at a glance in terms of pleasant viewing vs. actual quality and detail, 0.2" of screen, and ironically is a slightly thicker and taller phone - though slimmer in width and one handed mode is excellent), but otherwise I'm just glad to go to a smaller flagship device with good battery and solid performance. I think with both the existence of the S23 and the Zenfone 10 there's scope for "compact" mobile phones to exist in future.
Note also huge screen brightness difference and software updates that asus will provide only for 2 versions of android. In plus for zenfone is mini jack of course.
I just got my Samsung S23+ 2 months ago and it's simply brilliant. From the design, the feel, display, battery life - I am blown away! Having switching over from another Samsung A52S, my experience with Samsung is really good.
Take care everyone. Greetings from Singapore. 🥂
ive had my s23 around about 6 months now it is hands down the best phone ive ever used, its fast, small, light convientent to carry, its got an amazing camera and a really good battery life (i just dropped my phone in water, and after 5 minutes the charge port dried up and its working normally ths is an amazing phone.
Did u face any buggy and hows social media optimisation
this phone is incredible, the battery life alone is worth the upgrade.

@@YassineCabout 7 hours of Sot for a full charge, mix of wifi and 5g.

If you don't know already it has a Super Fast charging option. You have to buy a 25 watt charger.
You made such a quality tech review. You're going to be famous some day.
you can narrate my life now! love your voice!
Hey, Johannes! You have the same name of a good buddy of mine TechPHD on RUclips also! He's the man! He also has a nicer voice than I 😁
what would suggest iphone 13 or S23 .
S23
This thing is a furnace - it heats up way too easily, even with normal use. I had to switch the performance profile from standard to light to limit the heat buildup at least a bit. Really disappointed with the phone's cooling system. The battery is not great, either. I don't consider it to be worthy of all the hype it generates.
I recently removed the cover and started using my phone (OnePlus 8T since 2020), and oh my. This phone has not only NEVER given me any trouble, but it feels the best in hand. Slim, curved edges, and light as a feather. I'm so used to the power and now the feel of this phone that I'm brushing aside any thoughts of buying a new one.
your voice declare that you are the real man, btw as s23 user genshin impact is good for first 10 minute,, but you can get framedrop after that, around 50 fps even 40 fpsif instal game plug in and also alternate gaming performance you good to go
I have s23U ... after 7 months Im thinking its too big and heavy, my hands hurt ... so thinking about a second phone
That's defintely understandable, it is quite a big boi haha. The S23 is a really nice form factor in the hand and packs all of the power (minus the spen)
first video I watched from the channel, and congrats, great style
How do you get 7-7,5 hours screen in time? Mine will last half of the time and i'm no gamer, screen is on 60 hz, brightness of the screen very low, amost all notifications of and no apps running on the background. I don't know what to do😢
How is it now ??
Just found bros channel, honestly one of the best tech vids I seen in a min🐬
I app that, Jerick! Thanks for the kind words, and I am really glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
More to come!
The only downsides imo are the absence of fast charging (I use a fast-charging phone right now and don't really want to downgrade), the small display (I like multitasking), and Samsung's never-ending problem with the fingerprint scanner under the screen protectors. However, I appreciate long-term software support (I usually use phones for 3-4 years), OneUI, design, cameras, and the chipset of course.
This phone (256 GB version) is on sale for 730$ right now where I live, so is it worth buying? I wish I could find something that fits my needs perfectly, but I'm understanding that this is impossible without spending a fortune.
I agree with the fast charging aspect, But Small Display and Fingerprint scanner?? Nahh, I bought the phone just for the smaller display because it is a one handed phone and it is beautiful and so good to use, even the fingerprint sensor which is an ultrasonic one and is damn underrated, Mine works just fine with the screen protectors too, U should look into a lot of reviews too the post lately on how good it is.
In India, it is costing lesser after all the offers and discounts and for that price, I say its worth it, esp. with the latest hardware, great performance good battery optimizations along with it, best glass panels for protection, latest transfer speed ports, fastest storage and ram, screen and good set of cameras n many more, for this price u cant find any phone which ticks all the boxes. N I m saying for an android phone at this price range.
I had issues with the fingerprint scanner on my first screen protector, almost returned the phone. Then I got a slightly lighter protector and it works fine. Not really a fan of one UI but it IS very customizable so it works
@@lukasa6374did you register the print after you put the protector on?
It does have fast charging. You have to buy a 25 watt fast charger.
I was really disappointed when my S22 failed. It was in warranty but Samsung said it couldn’t be repaired. They’re giving me an S23. Looks like I’ve had a bit of good fortune. S22 owners don’t expect longevity.
I'm looking for something in the size of zenfone 9 (I have the S20) Don't know what to buy for the first time in a long time. The playing field seems to have been leveled the last three years
I ordered this phone on Wednesday. Supposed to be getting it today. I’m pretty excited 😁
LETS GOOOOOO
Excited for you, it is a stellar device!
@@DavidAVelez1 I've been an iPhone user for years. I finally got fed up with apple and decided to switch back to Samsung.
I like your voice, really warm, btw what storage on your phone, 128Gb or 256?
🐬. Got mine 2 days ago. This is all I need tbh
I own the ultra. Like it dont love it. Mainly the size. It really is huge. 650 for the 256gb on prime day. There is no way way i was going to pass this up. Im looking forward to getting it tomorrow
Came for the review. Stayed for his powerful voice. Damn.
Is there a battery life difference between the ufs 3.1 and 4.0 version ?!
I love my s23. I came from a s22 Ultra. I just never cared for it, never used the stylus and hated the size. I have large hands and the s23 feels much better, I was able to do a straight up trade. No regrets. I wish they would keep the screen size at 6inches, I really think it's perfect. Unfortunately, it looks like the s24 base model is 6.2 inches.
How much do you use the camera and how much of a downgrade you feel the S23 is in this regard?
I'm on the fence between getting a S23 brand new 512GB or a S22 Ultra 256GB second hand. The main reason I upgrade phones generally is the camera (hobbyist photographer), but the non-Ultra S line cameras are stagnant for a few generations now. The Ultra is too big for me also, but I guess I could live with it (perfect size for me would be the Plus, not the base)
btw, S24 is 6.2" but it's the exactly same external size as the S23.
I’ve been thinking about buying one to replace my 13 pro max. Just kind of tired of Apple and its horrible keyboard and autocorrect. I had a s8+ for 3 years no issues, loved that phone. The Samsung experience to me is the best android experience - and yes I owned a pixel and it was terrible.
i couldn't find a dolphin so here is a happy ghost👻i get e s23 tomorrow and i ordered it because my other phone died and i didn't know jack doody and your video really help so now i am as happy as these ghosts! 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

Wallpaper in 2:48 ?
If it had a fast charger this phone could have been the best of the best in this price segment.
You have to buy a 25 watt fast charger. It has a Super Fast Charging option.
🐬
The main reason I want this phone is because it's almost the most advanced phone ever and checks most of features that I want.
1) Compact size without compromising on the battery.
2) Flawless performance and fully borderless snappy screen.
3) All cameras are very good, even the telephoto is great for 10x zoom AND the is NO crappy macro lens.
4) The Samsung android skin (UI) is the best looking IMO and gives the most OS updates (untill today's Pixel 8)
5) All the reviews that I encountered are very positive and it's very reassuring.
The cons : The price is very high in Europe (about 1000 euros and that's about 1100 dollars for the 128gb variant :/
(Not sure but does the system still use half the internal storage for no reason ??)
Absolutely amazing and also am a samsung user only samsung user but there only problem I'm having with galaxy product is only the blury aspect when I upload on my whatsapp status
That's because WhatsApp doesn't allow you to directly upload picture in HD mode in status. You can fix this by first sending the picture in HD mode to yourself or someone in WhatsApp, and then share that file to status. That way the quality would be way better
I’m really interested in the S 23 I am switching over from the iPhone 14+ I’m still debating on making the jump. Have you tried that S 23+
Did you ever make a decision I’m still wondering about this.
The screen just fantastic with this phone. It fit in your one hand. Just love it. Yet the performance just smooth! I love this phone lol
The video you took with the phone is amazing and also overall your editing of your videos is too good, specially from 6.43 to 6.45, superb, that was some hollywood level.
Just switched providers and am getting mine Tuesday, I'm so excited! 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬
Nice video, man. Your channel is definetly underrated.
Couldn't agree more with the size.. I have been using big phone since the Huawei Mate 20Pro, the Samsung S20 Ultra, Google Pixel 6 Pro, and suddenly switching to this mini 6.1inch, is just nice, pocketable, ultralight, and screen's a lot easier to reach.. Guess part of it because im not really into watching videos on-the-go anymore, more like general usage, and social media here and there.. Great phone, and great price with the trade-in
Used to have a note 4 and when reading in bed, I'd drop it on my face 😂 it was so big and heavy. 6 inch, 170g or under is so lovely in comparison
🐢 also keep in mind ufs 4.0 is for the 256gb. The 128 uses 3.1 ive been deep diving this phone and i really want it, but i wanna wait for a decent sale. Also the zenfone 10 is on my radar as a pretty decent competitor especially because a charger is incl in the box
Go for s23 charger is just 15€
S23 uses kind of low speed UFS 4.0 memory anyway (compared to other flagships), not much of a difference between the 256 and the 128, other than sequential write speeds (check Notebookcheck review/test).
Eyyy! A Destiny 2 enjoyer! You earned a sub just for that. ;) Also, great review! I just had to order the phone after watching this video.
I know you will probably not see this comment since the video is 5 months old, but if you do. Keep up the grind and game on! :D

I'd been holding out for the flip 5 but after this review I'm leaning towards s23. A compact phone with a decent camera... I think this is the one, cheers David 😊
I started a trade in for my s23 for the flip 5, but when i got the flip 5 i did not like thr form factor, feel and overall experiance of it over the flip 5! I am currently in the process of returning my flip 5 and getting a refund for it!
@@T3CHGY007 I'm keen to see if the future models of z flip become even more compact. Once the cameras are on par or exceed the s series flagship, I'll likely make the switch 👍

I'm same, but I actually traded my s23 ultra for flip 5, it's cool but too tall and too narrow. So I gave it to my wife ( she loves it) and just ordered the s23. I know I'll love this phone since I got tired of the huge 23 ultra
The phone launch just february 17th ... Where you use 6month?
Hey there! Oh whoops. I meant to bump it to 5. Only reason for bumping it is because my thoughts are the exact same at this juncture, I don't want to waste anyone's time with a brand new video.

@@DavidAVelez1 👍👍👍 nice viewer from India
the more i see the more i like my 23 . . guys, s23 users , try call background animation videos , i just luv to see that graphics when making/recieving calls and i explored that after 1 month . .
Waiting for a price drop of this in the future. I just can't with larger phones, this may sound stupid but I'd really rather spend an extra sum of money on a compact phone than settle for a midranger that feels like you're holding brick 😐
I found that the hapticks and the speaker are better on this phone then the s24+ as I had that phone before I got this one. Love the size of this phone and hope Samsung continues to make the smaller phone in the future.
I'm just confused between s23 and pixel 8 what to choose???
really wanted to get base s23 or 23+ cause s23u is just too large, but, I can't do without the s-pen (i dont use it 95% of the time, but, it's worth the 5% of the time usage)
So for the 5% of the time is use the S pen and some moon pics u will pay that extra amount for the ultra...Better go for s23+
Watching on my s23❤
I had the S9, S21 and was tempted to upgrade to the S23 because my mom's just feels so good. But since my S21 still works just fine and is still supported I chose to wait
