Worst Phone I've Ever Had!!!!!!

This is the worst phone I've ever had. The battery is horrendous and doesn't last nearly as long as my old A32. The A32 could last two days on a single charge, while the S23 just barely lasts one day. The battery rapidly declines after 5%. I've seen the percentage jump from 3% to 0% in 30 seconds and take 10 minutes to charge 1%.
Not to mention the constant change in screen mode display. When using certain apps, the color goes from vivid to natural. Everything is desaturated. I see the change when I switch apps. I speculate this is to save battery, but there's nothing to be done about the display. Even toggling between screen modes and clearing cache of the affected app, it resorts to natural mode.
Worst phone I've ever had!!!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for the outreach, Kekau. We appreciate your candid feedback on the Galaxy S23 FE. The S23 FE comes with a stunning AMOLED 2X display. Details pop, even under varying light conditions. Plus, Eye Comfort Shield reduces blue light, making it easier on your eyes in the dark. Samsung phones and tablets offer customizable display options to provide an optimized experience for everyone. You can adjust various settings, including font size, screen elements size, color settings, and white balance. The Galaxy S24 series features a carefully tuned screen for a comfortable and high-quality viewing experience. Keep in mind that it includes Adaptive Color Tone, which adjusts the screen based on surrounding ambient lighting to display natural colors in different environments. If you have any further concerns or questions, do not hesitate to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin. smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus
Overall happy with my purchase. Biggest draw back is it is loaded with software that I have no use for and find very annoying but shut it down or remove and things that I do want will not work properly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best phone I've ever owned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone has the best camera out of any smart phone I've had so far. The quality is amazing. My battery still lasts just as long as the first day I bought it. I use my phone for music streaming and social media mainly. All around very happy with this phone.

Best features in a phone
on November 16, 2023
Posted by: Givediscountplease10
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I multi task on my phone the ability to use two apps at the same time and not slow down is the greatest. Speakers are great and the included stylist makes it easy to take notes or make list.
