Galaxy S23+

I had bought the S22+ about 3 months ago, but I wasn't too happy with the battery. Over night, it would lose around 15-20% battery (without doing anything). With the launch discount, I ended up having to pay only like 20 or 30€ for the S23+ (with . Battery is perfect for me. I get around 4 days of battery life (my usage is definitely not that intensive. I don't use my phone for media consumption, except when I'm on the go, where I listen to audiobooks and such, but since I work from home, I tend to use my PC for media consumption). [...]

[...] Loved my pixel 2 until the battery stopped holding a charge. Liked my 4a (it is literally a faster 2 that you can't squeeze to bring up google assistant (the squeeze was my fave feature)) until the April 2023 update that ruined the battery life. [...] I made the decision to switch to a Samsung S23+ and not looking back. Build quality of the Google flagships never have been the best, but they always have issues. [...]

So I got a new phone. I went from a 2020 lower end phone to a 2023 higher end phone (Galaxy S23+, unlocked, NIB no warranty gray market from Ebay), and so far, so good. Camera is MUCH better than my old one, which required extensive post processing to look halfway decent. [...]

[...] Anything Greater than the S23+ and on series, is fairly the same, in my honest opinion, with the S26, a massive powerhouse, but seriously, who needs a superphone? Excellent battery, display, speed, and camera that cant get better then this, for sure alongside Samsungs Greatest, now, and this is coming from a lifelong Samsung Galaxy Series holder, S3, S6, S10e, to now the next 6-8 years now, the S23+. All the best to my fellow S23+ Holders. [...]

[...] As a motorcycle rider, trying to stuff what is basically at this point, a Tablet into my inside pocket was utterly painful, plus its uncomfortable once my jacket is zipped up. Thusly this year, decided I'll play around with the S23+ and.. honestly wondering why I never went with the middle flagship phone from the start, its the perfect size, feels great in the hand, doesn't slip about in my hand and it fits perfectly fine in most of my pockets, without stabbing me in the chest or making my jacket uncomfortable to wear whilst on my motorcycle. I get the large screen without the stabbyness of sharp corners.. [...]

[...] I can't even use volume controls with a locked screen. [...] I don't notice anything revolutionary other than camera resolution. Also the fingerprint lock doesn't work as well with a screen protector, takes me at least 5 tries now.

I ordered this fantastic S23 Plus 3 hours ago. [...] Camera's are spot on. Stereo speakers also spot on. The screen is brilliant. In fact,this S23 Plus is worth the money.

[...] I have S23 Plus. [...] I have outterbox on my S23 Plus. [...]

[...] Battery is great for my usage, design is elegant, gorgeous display, loud and clear stereo speakers, one ui is beautiful and fluid, performance is always smooth and fast and the cameras are so fun and versatile. [...]

I put my s23+ in "light" performance mode, and use game boost to crank it up while gaming. I'm getting 11-12 hr screen on time with no noticable performce degradation (messaging, web, email, slack, etc, all don't need lots of performance). Thats including, gaming, dex, slack, email, usual stuff, screen at 50% brightness

[...] The battery life (especially the idle drain) is much better than any other Android phone I have ever owned (and I have owned a LOT of flagship Android phones). [...] While I'd love to have the zoom lens from the Ultra, this phone checks all of the other boxes for me.

[...] I traded in my S21 Ultra for the S23+. I found that I rarely used the S-Pen "that I got separately" 🙄 & camera on the S21 Ultra & I prefer flat screens. You're right about screen protectors on flat screens. They're cheaper than the ones for curved screens & they're easier to put on. [...]

[...] My current gripes with existing s23+ is usually one of following: 1. [...]

I don't know whether I should list 42 one ui software bugs and issues here which I found in the first month of using s23 Ultra myself but I believe if people want to appreciate how good the hardware is, I would probably point out how solid the software is or can be. That way, it can deliver the feel of the phone to others apart from the picture and battery quality in my opinion. [...]

[...] And since shutter speed effects motion blur, you gain the blur because no matter how steady your hand is, the phone will still move slightly, so the light bouncing from your face to the camera is coming in a different angle which achieves this effect. [...] So if u absolutely need to use that camera for night selfies then get a tripod. [...] Also I am writing this on an S23+ and I am in the film industry. So I should know cameras or what in the world am I doing lol.

[...] I had bad battery life and shutter lag on that phone so I traded it in for the Pixel. I'm very tempted to pay off my Pixel and trade it in for the S23 plus. I'm a bit apprehensive to do so because I don't want to have a repeat experience on the S23+. Is there a noticeable difference in performance between this and the Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro as far as camera lag? [...] I think the smaller S23 is just too small for me. I do miss a flat screen though.

I have had galaxy phones since s2, and my wife even had the S. I just traded out of my s20 ultra for the s23+. I considered the s23 ultra, but it seems to me like, a bit much. I was perfectly happy with my s20 and the only reason I had for switching was that we changed carriers, and it was very cheap to trade in and upgrade. I've had thus phone for maybe a week and a half now. The only difference I notice is that I have a little more trouble taking a good picture with this than I did with the s20 ultra. The sound on the s23+ is better. If I hadn't changed carriers I wouldn't have paid full price for this phone, it isn't much of an upgrade, it just feels... [...]

[...] Amazing battery. Display impressive brightness. [...] Camera is very impressive, found lowering the brightness in the viewport gets better daylight/bright images.

[...] I think the Plus is too similar to the normal S23, and should have features that should make it outstand it compare to the S23 or S23 Ultra. 1) It should have QHD Plus instead of FHQ Plus Screen. 2) It should have been £100 cheaper 3) The S23 and S23 Plus should come with SD Slot. 4) It's main Camera should have been 108 pixels from the S22 Altra

I love my s23+. The only real issue I'm having is that my wifi will randomly drop - I think that started with the last software update and hopefully will be fixed with the next. Going from the 20+ with the edges to the 23+ flat was an adjustment, but so far so good!

It's only 3 years old. Why wouldn't it run well? I have a 7 year old phone that still works well. Jesus.

I bought a Galaxy S23+ last year, turned off all the """Smart Features""" it came with that were enabled by default, and basically tried to de-shittify it as much as I could, and it STILL finds ways to annoy me. Can't say I consider any phone on the horizon an "upgrade," for the foreseeable, though.

parkchat A1 I've been using my Galaxy s23 Ultra the past year or so but when it matters, I have a Nikon B700 so I don't have to mess with lenses. Eyeing that P1100 now though. 🤤 www.nikonusa.com/p/coolpix-p1...

Best phone I've ever had. 2 years in and took off charger at 11am now at 52% at 10:25 pm. In love with a phone for the first time

Bought in 2023 the battery IS starting to show wear in 2026 however i almost never turn it off and in the last 6 months i no longer use the factory charger so which might be why though

I have dry hands and can't hold my Galaxy S23+ with glass back at all. [...]

Got it for 220€, i'm so happy to have it. Its the best phone ive ever had

I didn't realise that when I bought this (galaxy s23+) phone, it's very annoying.

I just literally bought this phone 2 days ago, coming from Redmi Note 14 pro and it's a big difference in speed, efficiency and camera performance. 8gb Ram is more than enough for me!. I have 512gb storage version and I don't even know what to do with that much space.

The absolute worst fingerprint security of any phone I've ever had. I thought it would never recognize my fingerprint. I had to wait 30 seconds THREE TIMES. Horrible.

I have one and for those still wondering without watching the full video. Yes it holds up perfectly. Runs mobile games Smooth! And good for emulation games if your into that

Security updates till 2028. It's still supported. I've just got one

I have both S23 plus and S25 base model. S23 IS ABSOLUTELY worth it in 2026. Performance wise, i don't see much difference in my 23 vs 25. [...]

Couple of pictures of the Moon I took with the camera on my phone. I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The reason why I didn't buy the Ultra is because of its shape😢which is why i opted for S23+

Was anxious to use this phone for cinematic video. However I find that there are no compatible filter Mounts for this phone. Can't get the highest quality video withou them. If you know where I can get them please let me know. Thanks.

[...] So if its your first cell phone it wont open past setup screen without another phone to text code to. [...]

Switched from the Pixel 7 Pro. Except the zoom I was missing out on, this phone is better in every way tbh

This phone to me is absolutely the most stunning phone design wise of the last 10 years. Its stunning

I have an issue with my S23+. [...]

I used adaptive brightness and an adaptive battery for better performance

I bought an s pen for my 23+ and it works. Soft one end hard another

I just bought this one too, and Im loving it. Just forget the Spen, this is better for pocketing and single hand ergonomics. My only gripe with it is that they omitted the Sdcard slot.

I've upgraded from A52s to S23 ultra it was a huge jump and totally worth upgrading. ❤

Just upgraded to this phone & the battery, my God, it's not dying & love the camera as well

I keep mine on adaptive brightness so I don't have to keep adjusting.

[...] I'm currently using the S21+ and very happy with the device. Guess I'll keep it a while longer until more significant changes are made.

[...] There should be no jump / jitter or colour shift and that exact reason is why I returned my Samsung ( I zoom in and out all the time in my art process vids) and am looking at iphone 14pro instead. I did try the pixel7 and while a better camera experience the UI isn't great and the bar on the back drove me nuts.

[...] I purchase S23 Plus week back..... [...] performance is Nice. [...]

I went from a s20fe to an iPhone 14pro max, then after 3 weeks I returned it and got the s23+
