Weekly poll: Samsung Galaxy S23 series – pre-order or pass?

05 February 2023
Pre-orders are live around the world - will you buy one, wait for the reviews or pass altogether?

Sort by:

I was waiting for this phone to be launched but after the launch, i wasn't impressed or moved at all. I think S22 will be my next device

    Pass. Cameras on the back aren't protected by bumper like s22. Faster ufs, but not worth a switch. Flip 5 maybe, when it comes later this year.

          Funny when ppl complain it is barely 2% better than previous generation, but if trade-in or career deal gives $500-600 discount , same ppl get the device.

          If you consider this ultra tiny upgrade over 22 series, should not get it, not matter price. Even if spending only $100-200.
          You will be being hypocrite.

            I absolutely can not understand how so seemingly many people care for the S23 series, the only new thing it brings to the table is a higher price tag for most markets.
            Not that I care what you waste your money on, but even just buying an S22 series is a way better decision in most cases.

                lol to you. the S23+ **ONLY** have 8gb for that big price.
                For Xiaomi low or mid-range the best choice is POCO or IQOO for those don't really care about the camera.
                Or perhaps Redmi/Xiaomi & Vivo/Oppo for those who want good camera.

                  user, 05 Feb 2023It is worse than an Apple, but it costs the same. Who needs it?It's not worse by any means.
                  But it is more expensive, and won't hold it's value as iPhones does.

                  For me, all 3 are to expensive.
                  S23 and Plus are not flagships, so I wouldn't give that much money for it, and Ultra is little bit to big and really crazy expensive.
                  But i guess one can learn to live with bigger phone,as we all did through the years.
                  Still, price is a problem.
                  It cost half of my salary, and giving that much for a phone just to use it's better camera zoom looks crazi in this times, with inflation all around.

                  I have bought s21 for 450€ a year and half ago, for my wife...and probably could buy Ultra next black Friday if it lost it's value as s22ultra did (it was cca 900€)...but it would still be expensive, and i would calculate it very good.

                  I know there are many people earning much more, and not giving a F about things coats...but also, there are much more that can't afford to buy 1000€ s22 .
                  So, i thing Sammy have a big problem this year

                        For those keeping the flag up with Pixel, remember that Tensor is made by Samsung based on Exynos...therefore, if you had any hopes as being some sort of performant phone, quit having hopes.

                            LoneOwl, 05 Feb 2023All the S23 line up is Dead with these huge prices, especia... moreOnly in your wet dreams. Get back into reality, Samsung no longer drops price after a month or so...

                              For someone who owns a 4-5-6 y.o. flagship, s23u is a no-brainer.
                              For someone who owns a small powerful 3+ y.o. flagship,s23 is an excellent buy.
                              For people who owned low or mid-range Xiaomis for ages and want to stick their finger into something more premium, s23+ is a great buy.
                              IMO, don't be too upset.

                              I will skip as I am very happy with my s21u. I am waiting for s25u, s27u or fold 7.

                                the price is actually for bling bling people or white powder dealers ... not for average users.

                                    yeah i bet 4 month and the price is half if used no worth the phones ,no buds or watch to get this price free,who need double storage and the ssd chip price is almost nothing in factory

                                      Its better for me to get a midrange for 300 and then a cheap dslr camera
