Great Camera Quality and Useful Apps
on May 29, 2023
Posted by: KBZ501
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite feature is the camera quality. Pictures and videos are SO clear and crisp, I enjoy capturing special moments now. I was even thinking of purchasing a pricey camera to take Professional photos for my small business but I appreciate the quality so much, it suffices.
I'm starting to utilize the different apps that the phone comes with as well, like Samsung Health and SmartThings. I think people tend to neglect these apps but I've found them quite useful.
I've been with Samsung for several years and I've held unto each product for a while. I don't replace devices quite often because I've never needed to - their products have good longevity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my S23 Ultra to stay connected, and to make my work life easier. I perform work at nuclear power plant facilities and the note taking features along with the incredible camera features make this a necessary work tool.

The Manic Pixie Dream Girl Of Phones
on May 30, 2023
Posted by: Hayshawapollomeese
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to begin by saying that the performance of the s23 so far has exceeded my expectations following its predecessor. In every way it has surpassed the nightmare ridden mess the 22 brought me when I had it (so much so that I had temporarily given in and switched to the iPhone before returning for the S23.) I will say that by definition this phone works for what it's meant to do. Never had an issue either calls or messages so far. There hasn't been any hardware problems, the battery works as it should (fantastic compared to how I'd spend full days sometimes attempting to charge the 22 to even 10 percent.) But it does feel as every other Samsung has these days a bit bogged down by the amount of system apps and internal background processes that come loaded onto it. I also don't particularly like how the entire phone seems to get small technical quirks when there are Google branded apps that need updating - I'm not a fan either of how the addition of one different email account can throw the entire phone into chaos - there's been an issue where accounts will auto fill with the saved information of a different Gmail that will have been checked using my phone. More than once sync services have gone off or made it so notifications come thru oddly. But mainly it handles well and genuinely is a good phone, if not a little overwhelming, but that's what makes a manic pixie dream phone "different from all those other phones" and we love her for that reason. You go s23.

Leap Forward For Mobile Phone
on May 30, 2023
Posted by: MobileLife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S23 is undoubtedly a remarkable smartphone that pushes the boundaries of what we expect from a mobile device. With its cutting-edge features, powerful performance, and stunning design, it sets a new standard for smartphones.
One of the standout features of the Galaxy S23 is its display. The device boasts a mesmerizing 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels. The colors are vivid, the contrast is excellent, and the viewing angles are wide, ensuring a truly immersive visual experience. The screen is also equipped with an under-display fingerprint sensor, providing convenience and security at your fingertips.
Performance-wise, the Galaxy S23 is an absolute powerhouse. It is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 895 processor (or Samsung's equivalent Exynos variant), coupled with a generous amount of RAM. Whether you're multitasking, gaming, or running resource-intensive applications, like me this device handles everything with remarkable speed and efficiency. The experience is further enhanced by Samsung's refined One UI, which offers intuitive interface. That I personally love and photography, the Galaxy S23 delivers. It boasts a versatile triple camera setup, That I think everyone needs to Experience.

The Good and the Bad
on May 30, 2023
Posted by: Chuck
from Santa Fe, NM
Expertise:Intermediate
So I purchased this to replace my Samsung 10E, and the transition was fairly easy due to the sim card transfer. The bad was two fold. The S23 uses a new "different" charging cord that does not use a common USB plug, therefore, an adaptor is needed to be purchased separately. Second, there is no port hole to plug in wired ear buds, which, I may be the only person in the world that still uses them. I had to purchase an additional plug for my earbuds. Other than those 2 issues, the phone is great
I would recommend this to a friend!
