[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ended up buying this phone month and a half ago. I prior had a Galaxy NOTE 10+. I was truly waiting for the s23 ULTRA but I had an accident and broke the phone completely. so either pay the phone deductible or get a new one. I opted for the latter. I'm glad I did. this phone has everything I need plus some pretty cool new features. honestly, I'm into quality pictures so now that I know that the new S23 ultra is going to have a 200mp camera and a Snapdragon quad-core processor is bittersweet, but a 140mp camera really does the job and I love the fact that a S-pen still there. anyway. very happy about this purchase and will keep this phone for a few years of course, before I trade it for a new one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am being a Sansung customer for more than 10 years. About 3 months ago I took advantage of the Samsung exchange program, so I exchange my wife's and my s21 plus for this phone, I am happy with my decision, and I haven't found anything to be disappointed with. All of my family have iPhones, I feel this phone it's superior to their phones. Excellent picture quality, clear sound, good quality Spen faster performance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this phone as soon as I heard about it. Coming out of having the s20 and 21 lineup the only thing it needed was this amazing spen. The camera as well is beyond out of this world and don't get me started on the customization features.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works seamlessly with Straight Talk. Moved my sim from the old phone to the new one and everything switched without issue. Samsung app to transfer all my old files worked perfectly.
I expected a little longer battery life, but i do have battery protection turned on (limits battery to 85% capacity). I can get through most of a day with one charge, but if it's a heavy internet day, I need the charger.
Camera function is somewhat disappointing. My wife uses Apple and their cameras just beat the ones Samsung uses. My photos are fine on screen, but they show a lot of graininess if your try to expand them. With the 108 megapixel and telephoto lenses, i was expecting a significant improvement over my old A71, but it's not there. The other flaw is camera speed. The automatic settings are just too slow while using manual mode is cumbersome.
The screen is vibrant. The stylus makes things easy, especially if you're fingers are cold or you need to be more precise.
Overall, I'm pleased with most features of the phone. Hoping Samsung puts more effort into the camera.
