Awesome overall performance
on March 13, 2023
Posted by: Liljeam
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way the base S23 steps up the performance game along side heating solution which is a big jump from the base S22 I had. No overheating, smooth performance all day long, long battery life, no lags. Just Awesomeness!

Solid but a few bugs
on March 13, 2023
Posted by: RegularJoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I think the phone is solid. My upgrade was from an S20 so, I did not like having to give up the SD card at all, but it was something I was going to have to do at some point so I bit the bullet and went with a 256GB S23. I do not care for larger phones because I carry it in my pocket. The 23 was actually slightly smaller than my 20 so that was a bonus. The battery is supposed to be smaller in the 23 than the 20 but I'm getting better battery performance from the newer phone with more efficient chips. I'm not yet noticing a speed deficiency from the lesser RAM capacity from the 20 to 23. One bug that will hopefully be resolved is the notifications. I inconsistently receive them across multiple platforms. I have gone into the general notifications in setup and through apps individually and toggled them off/on to try to trigger them into working and tried updating the apps but it is still inconsistent at best and still not get message notifications occasionally. The other inconsistent tool is the fingerprint scanner on the screen. While it is leaps and bounds better than the S20 junk scanner it still pales in comparison to the fingerprint reader on an old S8 that was next to the camera lens. It is very finicky and I have been locked out of my phone and apps on multiple occasions which is frustrating, something I never had issues with on the S8. Other than that I am very happy with my upgrade. The camera is nice and I like the aluminum casing instead of plastic.

My new S23
on March 13, 2023
Posted by: Moonmom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just upgraded to the new Samsung S23 from a Samsung S8. Im very pleased that the devices are similar so it has been easy to use. The S23 does have many more features that i have enjoyed learning how to utilize. The camera takes beautiful pictures and I can't wait to document all the beauty of spring. Due to the many features and capabilities of the new S23, it has practically replaced my desktop computer. I'm very happy with my new device and would highly recommend it to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a overall great phone. It has an up to date Android experience but the best feature is the camera quality.

Amazing processing speed
on March 13, 2023
Posted by: Zaib90
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Switched from my previous Samsung phone to the galaxy S23 and was immediately blown away by the processing speed. The ease of switching between apps and multitasking is amazing.
And the switch itself was made so much easier by the galaxy smart switch app. Saved me the hassle of reloading apps. 15 minutes and all the data was transferred seamlessly

So, it socks to lose stuff, but you gain in other ways. I wish they would keep more of the good stuff vs throwing it out.
