I am a woman with small hands and fingers. Yet, no matter how I have taken advantage of keyboard layouts or made adjustments, I get so many mistakes and have to do corrections literally for every few words that I type on the screen. The amount of stray characters and additional letters being inserted, even when I use the space bar between words. And what makes it worse is the terrible suggestions predictive text makes, or the mistakes it inserts! I used to be able to type on any of my BlackBerry keyboards throughout the years so fast with two or more fingers, without virtually ever needing to look at the screen or keyboard, and was able to produce text, long mails and even draft very long documents mistake free 99.9% of the time. The amount of mistakes that come up on my S23 Ultra keyboard is always voluminous and it is frustrating and a time vampire to keep having to reread every 3 or 4 words to make corrections, and then having to reread what I type over and over to ensure the corrections are mistake free. probably made in excess of 100 corrections while typing this. I frigging hate this phone and get so frustrated, but the few phones with real keyboards on the market now are garbage. Plus I failed to mention I get terrible shooting pains and pins and needles in my fingers, hands and shoulders throughout the day, on a daily basis from having to touch this screen to write messages, or use the net. This phone would be awesome with a real keyboard. I really am so disgusted with this phone, but there isn't anything much different out there to resolve these daily anxiety producing issues.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Tired of throwing money away, went ahead and bought this S23, what can I say, this is the best phone out there, it's camera is no different from a pro camera, from macro to telephotography, video , flash or no flash the quality of the photos is superb
I'm in love with my new phone! The S Pen is perfect for scribbling down a quick note when I don't have a pencil or paper handy. There are so many other features that seem great, too, that I haven't explored yet; the number of things this phone can do is amazing -- almost in an overwhelming sense.
