I bought this phone by looking at so much positive reviews regarding battery life. However I am disappointed to see that I have to charge phone twice even with minimal usage i.e. no gaming or video recording. Phone came with one UI 6.1 pre installed 😤

Get an S22, S22+ or S23+ instead?
Get a midrange Redmi Note or Poco M or X series?
Get an old flagship like the OnePlus 10T?
Get an old Galaxy A35 or A54 instead?

Anonymous, 08 May 2024It will survive for 1.5days on heavy usage.Based on Samsung Forums people are not happy. Since the One UI 6.1 update Samsung has inadvertedly introduced a battery bug where it drains fast and doesn't even last the whole day.
Even if you do all known battery saving tips under the sun if a bug is present in the OS it doesn't give you that confidence is it?

I've probably watched so many battery saving tips that after having the S23 FE and A52s it still couldn't even reach 30% by 7pm. I appreciate the discussion of battery life is very subjective. But i'm not a mobile gamer, streamer, vlogger or use too much productivity in my tiny device but i still find myself longing for better batteries in my devices.

Just procured S23 256GB from Samsung Store at 42,239/- INR after exchange of S8.
The Phone tends to warm up during photo shoots. Overall a Good Phone.

After the Android 14 update I had about 3 more updates and I have to charge my s23 2 times a day when before it was just one charge. It gets a little hotter and doesn't really tell you how much battery power you consume. Sometimes what updates do is degrade your smartphone. But the rest is fine.

After so many disappointments in choosing my next phone I am planning on getting last year's base Galaxy S23.
Reason for the interest is because of the Snapdragon chipset and the size.
Albeit having a really good older chipset, dimensions and battery capacity do you think the S23's battery is that bad?
Is the screen on time and endurance time really not that good?

6 month feedback/opinion:
Positives: Feels snappy, CPU is good but only medium amount of RAM. Screen is alright.
Negatives: Very soft metal/paint frame scratches and dents easily. No SD card is a downgrade from my old phone. No headphone jack. No IR blaster. Nothing to set it apart.
VERY negatives: Worst camera package on a phone I've had since the original Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 though. The blurriness on both front facing and main camera is terrible. Front facing pictures comes out blurry more often than not. Can't properly turn off post-processing that heavily smoothes pictures without shooting RAW in Pro Mode and those turn out super grainy (even JPEG gets post-processed). I think the cameras are just terrible? Takes worse photos and videos than my old S20 FE, that's for sure. It's genuinely frustrating and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Overall nothing special about it, removed features I had with my previous phone. Wanted a small premium phone but camera heavily disappoints. I'm "whelmed" and not entirely happy with it.
