I would surely enjoy 200mp on Vivo, but also 64mp tele, those aren't just empty pixels from that brand.

    For the Galaxy Book3 Pro, I wish they could just shave off a bit of that bottom chin. Most laptops nowadays have a thin bottom chin.

          Well, Samsung had its shine for a long time. I guess it's slowly fading now..

            I hope, camera sw update will be massive. S22 (ultra) are not bad, but... Pixel 6/7 cameras seem to be better at same or lower price point. Huawei (even so, without google services it not direct competitor) has better cameras, Iphone seems to be better... and I would not be sure, that Samsung is clearly better than Xiaomi.
            A few years ago, Samsung was at top in camera phones. Now, it just good. I would love an (basic) S22 sized phone with great cameras. And I would probably accept the dimensions of the ultra series if its best camera phone. In the future, I would like to replace my Huawei P30 Pro with dignity.

              vrvly, 29 Jan 2023I'm on s21u and the most visible difference between ca... moreIf you have an S21 Ultra it's not worth to spend over 1400 euro for an upgrade. Keep your phone as long as you don't see any major upgrades and save your money for the S24 or even the S25 or perhaps a foldable if you like so and wanna try out something different. If you want the s-pen built in, ok that's alright, than this might be an upgrade. For the rest: I wouldn't say it's worth to upgrade from a S21. Especially not when they increase the price yet again, and not even marginally; it's quite a price hike if you ask me.

                Meanwhile the test of s22 on the site still does not have battery score. Probably got payed for it.

                    Larger body means larger screen, larger glass, larger frame .
                    The ufs4.0 does not have 128Gb version, only 256. This means 23+ has ufs4.0 while base 23 has ufs3.1 .
                    The UWB and wifi7 need hardware fof it .. also extra software and certification is different .

                    It is not like iphone where both models are exactly same internals except battery

                        my only questio is how long will samsung gonna think customers are stupuid donkeys who can be fed with dried grass. Soon or later people starts realizing the robbery on a customer and real people i mean customer sales advisors will going to tell unless that customer dont pay visit to genuine samsung store where no other brand is sold.
                        Atleast at mine stores people can certainly see that for half the price they can get equal or better device.

Just for example Samsung SD card 64Gb cost around 6-8 euros vendor dependable and 256GB samsung SD card cost around 25-30 vendor dependable.
                            S23 with 128GB dsk space or S23 plus with 256GB dok space shoudl cost not more than 50 or maybe 100 for a little bit bigger screen and battery. Disk space is same sized thing just with increased storage capacity.

All Samsung did was FORCE what used to be an OPTION on ALL Galaxy S23+ buyers. I don't need 256GB yet if I want S23+ I need to pay like 100€ in advance because Samsung decided there should be no 128GB option.

                                    If they were selling 256GB version at same price as 128GB 1 year ago, yes, it would be great. This just isn't.
