if s23+ were to have QHD screen, there will be good demand for it but samsung says noooo

mine edy updated from "out for delivery" to "on the way"

anyway sabar je la...since the promised date is 24th feb. getting it early means cukurr and that's all. looks like most of us may be getting them early.

u can try modifying your ref number from the dhl's query (from the link, ?𝐫𝐞𝐟=xxxxxx) to +1 or -1 each step, then u can trace the some of the shipment of the particular sub-batch
sub-batch cuz each sub-batch has 100 shipment total, total batch size unsure

DHL manyak efficient...barang dh sampai

cukurr wfh so can open pakej directly

just realised that the cable from the phone box is visibly narrower than the 1.8m 5A cable I bought separately. I guess the narrower cable cannot do UFC 2.0 while the thicker one can?
anyway I just settle with the thicker cables since I have 3 of them, all 1.8m 5A.

first batch most likely starts from 7150823063 - 7150823162 via dhl shipping queries, these are the first 100 orders (sub-batch) of the batch. delivered or not will depend on the driver speed and delivery location...dhl started the deliveries in the morning

just sayin...I've been running my device non-stop (installing apps, transferring data) since 2pm, currently my s23u sitting at 32% while my note 9 had to recharge
now let's see how battery health performs down the road..

i keep my simcard on old device, power up new device and do setup je
smart switch is useful for me since I'm "migrating" my note 9 data to s23u (in reality I'm actually duplicating), so photos, videos, contacts, messages, settings and some selective apps can be transferred easily and actually pretty fast
first time used smart switch...that app is incredibly powerful to the point wifi is faster than connecting usb cable between your 2 devices
after everything is done baru transfer the sim

nekkid
- no screen protector
- no case
- no care+++

inb4 cracked screen 🔥

(taken by note 9)

doesn't matter for me, already used to the feeling of directly handling the phone for quite some time feels better and touch better as well. micro-scratches can be overlooked, 4 years later still can trade in

remember to peel off the almost invisible plastic protectors on the 4 sides of ur phone ya...I baru realised that until today

using whatsapp backup kenot? iirc they'll compress all the files for you before uploading. unsure what's the compressed size for 9GB total files tho.

maybe also make a small habit of not downloading photos and videos immediately and instead selectively download them on your command (touch). significantly reduces the total size of whatsapp data. my total compressed size is 200MB je.

aku buat guessing
left selfie right main

I am indeed surprised, cuz both of the pics were a blurfest to begin with and had to pick the "sharper" one

let's do another round of testing for those who are plain curious about which one (selfie or main cam) is better.

note that during closeup, s23u will automatically switch to UW camera (topmost camera) instead of the main camera (2nd from top). the 2 pics below are captured by either selfie cam or the main cam, and during the rear shot, main cam is used instead of letting it switch to other cams. choose

the meta confirmed my suspicion...it switched to UW cam! f/2.2 is UW cam while f/1.7 is main cam

next time i'd resize it nia can see the res easily

at which audio level the crackling starts to sound?

no harm, it's max 65w instead of strictly delivering 65w into your 45w phone. phone tells the charger to supply power and not the other way round, so if the phone requires 40w in a certain period, it'll just supply 40w.
