It's 2023 and Samsung still making flagship with battery capacity starting with 3, what a joke

Samsung just offer 512gb for 256gb price, well actually the actual pricetag always below than that. You think you smart, but there are a little bit smarter than us.
On Oktober you will see pricecut on your new galaxy s23 series, it's not even one year your new phone already value degraded

If you see photo image quality comparisons between the S22/S22+ and iPhone 13, you'd know they are mostly similar. Mostly it comes to color rendition preferences.
There's also reason why the S23/S23+ exists. Many people like me don't see the need for "curved" screens (making finding the right glass screen protector a pain) and boxy design that's not that great to hold. Call me crazy, but I prefer the S23+ over the S23 Ultra.

Every single year. New chip has 2... moreThey are lyars. In fact, it is more powerful... For the same power consumption.
All flagship phones (Galaxy S5 up to the S10 and this very bad S23) chips are all rated for lets say 3w of normal power consumption, and 10w at burst.
So they are more powerful for the same, power consumption.
So yes, they are less power hungry but only if you throttle it to the same GeekBench scores. On computer and laptops, manufacters are not such lyars, they will say the chip TDP and tag it as "high end" CPU for CPUs > 100w TDP. But in smarphones, manufacters almost never disclose explicitly this information, making people believe that the chip is less power hungry, but it is the exact same power consumption in every new flagship.

Let me get this straight, they removed the camera island, which afforded the lenses more protection, and gave the phones a distinctive look, only to homogenise the design to the point it's no different to their midrange/budget range now? Wtf?

No mention of downgraded front face camera and who produce this Snapdragon for Galaxy chips? If it was manufactured by Samsung then better wait for honest review first since their chips always overheat.

I feel like the Note20 Ultra was the last good phone of the Note design. Of course I'm not talking about specs, I'm talking about its physicality. The screen is larger, the bezels are thinner, the weight is lighter and more manageable in the hand, and the camera island gives it more character. Oh and it has a microSD slot.

For the S And the S+ there are better options in the market with larger screens and better zoom cameras, regarding the ultra it is an excellent phone but very expensive.

S23 is downgrade from S22.
No OIS for telephoto camera of S23.
S22 had that.
Fail...

Based on the spec sheet, Samsung cut UWB support from the plus model this year. No notable upgrades outside a battery (which arguably was cut in previous years) and camera. This bundled with horrid trade in values is perhaps Samsungs way of curving ecowaste from having consumers bring in their own devices. I'll wait for review and a sale to make my decision. Perhaps the only other phone I took a wait and see approach ( first being the S22)

It's official now, S and S+ are no longer flagships but glorified mid-rangers supposed to make you go towards the Ultra.
