Hope to see battery life improvement

    1k € for basic model? Horrible overpriced.

      blue, 04 Feb 2023And that low price is official store or some black market? ... moreLol none of what you wrote, people here are selling it as brand new non unboxed (you could say third part stores). In my country, official stores are highly avoided because they are pricing products insanely high. I never bought phones from official stores, Apple doesn't even have an official store here, it's called iStyle which is overpriced as ****.

        rizki1, 04 Feb 2023of course, but don't forget that long support is somet... moreWell, iPhone 8 was well capable for at least 4 years. Even now it is still above chinese midrangers.
        And writing something about not being futureproof to S23 makes you totally dumb.

          Anonymous, 04 Feb 2023I bet it will get same score as S22 ... same phone... hahahaiPhones have been making identical looking phone's since the iPhone X, funny how people are whining about samsung making an identical only two times in a row.

            Walpole, 04 Feb 2023It matters to people buying the phone in the future The iP... moreof course, but don't forget that long support is sometimes useless if the phone specs are not future proof. iPhone 8 is only 1800mAh when compared to the current budget the phone has reached 5000mAh. Also budget phone performance is now almost on par with the 2019 flagship.

            $1000 phone with 4-5 years support but specs are not future proof is useless imo.

              rizki1, 04 Feb 2023why do you need long support if the majority on this websit... moreIt matters to people buying the phone in the future
              The iPhone 8 is still being supported to this day making it a good budget phone unlike its rival the Samsung S8 which stopped receiving support years ago
              The longer the support, the more futureproof a phone is
              Back in the day you would pay $1000 for the new flagship only for it to stopped being supported after 2 years and in worst cases only 1 year

                rizki1, 04 Feb 2023why do you need long support if the majority on this websit... moreWhy? Because majority of true buyers (not you, local kids) keeps their phones for more than a year. Only the mouth-millionaires like you change it with every generation - on paper.

                    I'm really curious how having a more efficient soc and that small bump in battery compares to the S22 in battery life. It's one of the main reasons I pre-ordered the S23. I'm hoping it will get me through my day.

                      Nameless, 04 Feb 2023It could be more energy efficient, but don't forget it... moreMan, this is why i will pick a midranger as my main phone. They usually have power efficient chips. Ever since i used the A71 i noticed how good is using it. Like im not missing much.

                        Can it do portrait mode in 2x zoom or are we still limited to 3x native only?

                            Shirleyboy, 04 Feb 2023When Samsung start charging these amounts they really need ... moreMan maybe the chargwr is environmental gimmick but many people dont have it or they have but Micro USB not C.
                            And even if they have type C charger.
                            Every phone with every chargers, charges its battery at different speeds and those chargers have different impact on phone and battery.

                              blue, 04 Feb 2023You mean the flagships that next year have no support at al... morewhy do you need long support if the majority on this website always care about every new flagship that comes out and buys it?

                              every time a flagship comes out, it's always trending here. Or you can read in the comments.

                                hope it'll be my next phone. i only want compact phones, need flagship quality camera and telephoto cam and like wireless charge, so options are... well, this is my only option :D i have never liked Samsung but...thanks for this phone. if battery will last one day without efforts, I'll buy it even if it is so pricey.
                                i only hate punch hole.. I'd rather prefer small bezels like sony, but i could live with that if all the rest i want is ok...

                                  zub213, 04 Feb 2023Apple lowering prices? Where do you live ?Just 2 months ago iPhone 14 Pro was 1600€ in my country at 6/128 and now you can find brand new one for 1150€. I never seen iPhone price dropping that quick and so much.

                                    I'm not really sure if i spot it right but it seems that S23 has even more flatter display than S22. I can see the shine on the edges of the screen on S22 but they're not visible on S23 meaning they're flat-flat.
