Yes thats a good price for the S23 128GB.

But do be informed that the Samsung OS is significantly bigger than most of it's competitors. You'll have about 60 to 70GB of storage available to use right out of the box.

If you're the type of user who likes to load up on media files, this might be a point of consideration.

You can read about it here but the gist of it is that after the storage conversions and system files, you're left with about 60 to 70% of remaining storage.

Samsung's OS is already pretty big to begin with so there's that too.

Not to mention that Samsung flagships consistently get monthly updates and they will receive major OS updates for the next 4 years or so, 128GB is really not enough if you plan to use it until it is no longer supported.

iOS is very space efficient compared to Android. If you're just going use it for basic tasks and rely on streaming services for media consumption, you'll be okay with 128 GB.

It's only a problem if you wanna carry your jav and music around or take a lot of videos. The pictures won't fill up your storage so easily.

Maybe not. I'm waiting for that kind of price for the 256 GB as well but I really don't think it will happen this year or next year. Might as well get the S23+ for that price.

They can but they probably didn't want to this time. The S23 128GB was never meant to sell well to begin with. S23 sales started with a free storage upgrade, free S23 128 GB with Galaxy Note trade in and they're using the previous generation storage for the 128 GB model.

This is probably why its going for such a low price now, it is hard to sell and the limited storage space is a major factor for a phone that will be supported for many years, having good pic/video taking capabilities.

It feels like this model is gimped on purpose just to promote the higher end ones.

Mobile Gadgets store on Shopee and Lazada selling S23+ 256GB for RM3269.

That's the cheapest so far.

I've bought from them before but not the S23.

Last purchase was years ago for the A50 and S21, didn't have any issues with them but they'll unseal to register warranty whatever the heck that means.

256GB S23 Plus boss. There is no 128GB for the S23 Plus.

Here let me help you, someone here purchased a 128 S23, after setup, left about 80 GB. Screenshot attached.



There's no way there will be 100 GB available for a 128 GB device. You lose about 10 GB after conversion and Samsung's OneUI is quite large.

I don't think the warranty is dependent on the device being powered on. It can be registered on the website by uploading a copy of the receipt.



Once you do that, the date will match the warranty status when you check it on the device.

Did you turn on "Alternate game performance management" in game booster?

No this option will make it heat up considerably. I just thought you turned it on by accident.

The option is in Game booster > Game booster settings > Labs

No it is not necessary. It used to be called Game Optimization Service which lowers performance when gaming to control the temperature.

If you turn this on, you'll get max performance for your games in exchange for very high temperatures on your phone while gaming.

I once hit 52c on my S21 while playing Nikke with this turned on. Never again.

Where? Got link?

FOund it, its not as gory as anyone would expect from those keywords. Whats amazing is he survived.

Ok lets not stormfury this thread.

You need to connect the phone through a USB cable to a computer then you can boot into the cache partition.

Alternatively if you have some kind of USB C accessory you can do it without a computer. I tried on my device it works with the Samsung USB-C headset.

If you're lucky, like really really really lucky, you might receive the phone even after you're refunded.

I've had things arrive after I received the refund from Shopee but nothing as expensive as a phone before.

Not for authorized distributors or Samsung official.

You'll have to keep an eye out for good deals on Shopee and ladada if you want to grab it at a good price.

Those that will open the boxes are usually not official distributors on Lazada and Shopee.

You can try to wait for shops like Sen Heng or Samsung Official to have offers, I think these guys won't open box for warranty stuff. You have to be fast though, these 2 shops so far I noticed their offer comes in the form of a voucher code.

Gotta say though, I don't think I have ever seen S23 256 GB on any offer from these official channels. It is usually S23 128GB or S23 Ultra 256 GB.
