Since ayam have some free time, Just going to list down the pros of cons of having this phone . hopefully this will help with your future purchases

been using it for 1 month, and here are the points:


Pros:

1. Battery life is amazing. can easily last a day even when on AOD and no battery saver activated

2. Display is top notch compared to its competitor

3. Heavily discounted during buy, just 4k




Cons :

1. Random android glitches, some app can hang , late to load, etc. Google voice recognition also is patchy

2. curved screen means its a pain to find a decent screen protector

3. This phone is heavy as fuark. I compare it with waifu normal S22, the difference is night and day. Dimension is also big, goodluck storing it in your pocket.

4. The S-Pen is not that useful

5. having some issue with wifi , if the wifi is weak signal, the phone simply refuse to connect. (example when i off my deco mesh at upstairs, ) , my laptop still can connect fine, but this phone just can't.



Conclusion: I won't buy any ultra phones or android phones in the future.

Download Gcam for the phone. It's so so so much better than the phone's camera app

Not in playstore? Where to download? If APK means update also you need to redownload new APK? Imma retired pirate.

i used s23 ultra for like 6 months

overall is fine ..dont have big complain on it

but last week gave it to my wife ..i will use s23 FE



quick comparing s23 FE vs S23 Ultra
1. S23 FE battery life not as good as ultra
2. charging speed seems slower than ultra (using same cable + charger)



other than physical/feature difference.. the rest look similar to me ; as i no gaming etc

Just pray you won’t get green screen/green line after 2 years, moments just after your 2 years warranty expires

used S23U since the preorder...

bought it for the camera - superb.
display - samsung display known to be above the rest.
battery life good - heavy douyin user here
spen - not what i bought the phone for just plus points only.
new ui - looks good but minor change to what i already have as am using nova prime
charging speed typical samsung speed - acceptable for me.. might not be acceptable for those from china phone previously

Android fans will disagree on the Android glitch. Apps are just more stable on iOS. But I'm B40, so Android only for me.

I am anti curved screen.

Still no match in OS experience if compare to Apple products of how many generations ago.

Jokes aside, using the S23U as well... Overall great phone, but hated the size.

I thought flagship phones have plenty of screen protectors/tempered glass everywhere?
