Nice Upgrade from the S10 model
on September 24, 2023
Posted by: Goldenknight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S23 is a great compact phone and nice upgrade from the S10 that I had previously.
I mainly use my phone for social media and shopping, but it is buttery smooth and how fast it loads with the Snapdragon CPU and the UFS 4.0 on the 256gb model. The S23's battery can definitely last all day with moderate use. I can't say much about gaming, but I imagine it can perform well. Just don't know battery can really hold for a couple hours or not.
If I have a few issues is that... why no micro SD card and it is more of my fault for not researching enough, but only 3,900mA battery? Again, only fit so much technology so much and If you do get the Stardard S23. Optimize your battery usage like light performance mode instead of stardard performance.
So far, no regrets and I can definitely recommand the S23 for your next compact smartphone.

Premium quality & features
on September 24, 2023
Posted by: MeganFromIllinois
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Android phone bc I'd always heard Android phones were worse & less secure. That may have been true in the past, idk, but I read it wasn't true anymore. In fact, I read the other OS--which I had heard was unhackable--also has security vulnerabilities that are fewer in number but more severe. I did this research last week when my competitor-OS-brand phone randomly died recently. I'd had different models of that brand randomly break irreparably twice before & was thoroughly sick of finding myself marooned without a phone. Planned obsolescence, I think.
I don't regret the switch at all. This phone cost about half what the latest model of the competitor phone costs. Unlike that brand, this phone plays nicely with my computer & other devices. Eg, I had thought there was something wrong with my new wireless earbuds bc they often skipped. No, it was the fault of my previous phone--despite them technically being compatible with that brand of phone. I bet same-brand earbuds are the only ones that truly work well with that phone, and I bet that's by [secret] design. But they cost more and the sound quality is worse than the ones I wanted.
This phone has ALL the functionality of my previous phone. On top of that, it's noticeable as a new user that it's far more flexible & can be more closely adapted to my specific usage needs. The simplicity my previous phone prides itself on is perhaps just a clever marketing trick to make its many limitations sound like a feature.

Excellent flagship phone
on November 6, 2023
Posted by: Purpleguy96
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the specs your getting for the cheapest flagship phone,this is great! This phone has really good photo and video quality, which personally is something important for me on a phone, and it has the newest fastest chip from Qualcomm, which is important to me because I like mobile gaming. Most importantly the display, this is the most incredible display I've seen, the other phones I've had, had an ok display.

Great features and display with mediocre batter li

Posted by: axel5555
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone mostly for gaming and streaming videos, which this does flawlessly. The images and videos look vibrant and the screen is super bright, even outdoors in direct sunlight. I love having the peice of mind with water resistance. Recharging is super fast, I just wish that each charge lasted longer, especially if you plan to be outdoors for long periods of time with no way to recharge the device.
