The norma s23 looks smooth as hell. HOWEVER, the 230mm tele sure has its value.

Choices, choices.

      10W wireless & 45W wired slow charging is very disappointing 🚫 😢

        Please do cover the haptics of each phones when doing the full review.

        Also, when's the review coming out? Any embargos or other BS in place by the lethargic company?

              Samsung not optimizing exynos equally as snapdragon doesn’t make it better. Hence no complaints about Pixel because they actually have the resources to optimize properly

                Iphone 14 plus demolishes the S23 Ultra, no need for the Pro Max even

                  Anonymous, 01 Feb 2023Your s22u was worth €100 as trade-in? This is huge scam... moreS22U was worth $500 on trade in the US.

                  I got 400 for my Flip 4

                      Shutter lag is still there and no "sports" mode available. Let's all point the finger and laugh at this brand.

                          Fingers crossed 🤞 the S23 Ultra can finally beat the Puxel 6/7 in the camera department as a phone beating it for less than half the price would be ridiculous like it was for the S22 Ultra. Great to see tsmc manufacturing the cpus now and not Samsung plus a big jump in performance this year as the S22 Ultra was underpowered for it's price regardless of qualcomm or exynoss so never got why the S22 Ultra was considered the best phone when it was underpowered and only had the 3rd best camera. 8GB of ram for £1249 is also ridiculous 12GB of ram should come standard across the board.

                            This is huge scam. Should try to sold it online for €500-600.

                              Europeans here bash when samsung uses exynos there and say "no buy".
                              But are willing to buy pixel that uses an exynos even worse than ones samsung usually have.

                                Just order my S23U for 1209€ here in Spain. 512 gigs, 100€ discount for adding my old S22U and another 100€ for preorders. I got the 512Gb version for the price of 256Gb. They are willing to pay up to 520€ more for my S22U which is in mint condition. At the end it costed me around 700-800 euros. Nice

                                  S23+ at 1200 euros is almost as offensive as iphone 14 plus at this price.

                                    I would consider it if it had a headphone jack and expandable storage.
