I bought this a few weeks ago, hoping to get some extended battery life. What I didn't think about was how fast it operated, and how clear the screen is.
Great battery life and quick as well. Feels great in hand. I originally bought the s23 ultra but sold it and got the plus instead, much easier to manage.
I really like this phone. The screen is great and the resolution is out of this world. I find that the battery lasts all day even with lots of streaming of media. The one thing that really drives me crazy it all the bloatware that Samsung installs on the phone and that I can not delete and must force stop. Samsung is trying to complete with Google. Many of the Samsung apps on this phone are similar to things that Google has. Contacts, Google Play etc.., I don't like that Samsung is constantly trying to get me to save my pass words on their version of password protection. For a few days I had two versions of contacts because Samsung installed theirs and there is no way to uninstall it. Give me the option don't try to force your apps on me.
I got this phone about 2 weeks ago and love it! Connectivity has been on par. So much to do and so many apps to help suit your needs! There is one drawback and that's the Gmail app. Had many other devices you could use with that app and for whatever odd reason, this app won't allow you to create folders or new labels. Other than that, I would recommend this phone.
The phone lags on on different apps, websites even when sending texts. I even factory reset the phone to try to solve the issue. I ended up returning the phone. Other than that I liked the phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
