                  S23 has a Recents album in the photos gallery that just duplicates all photos in a halphazard manner thereby using double storage space..deleting photo from there leads to delete of photo from original folder too.I cannot understand why this has been put in a oremium phone except to dupe customers by using up GB data and then selling cloud space

                    Can it connect to Bluetooth devices via ldac or aptx hd. Asking because Samsung usually impose their properitory codec ssc

                          After using like 3months. It's kinda annoying for the "bananablurry" thing on the main camera (1x zoom camera), i think it's more like hardware issues that cant be fixed especially if you're the employee that need to photo some notes alot..

                          For this solution, I just recommend to taking the picture using the 3x zoom for the best resolution without blurry things. It's better but need to take the picture more further away

There is a feature that tracks the motion of moving objects and animals but you have to enable the feature.

                                  Dear Gsmarena team,
                                  This smartphone camera is incapable of taking atleast average quality pictures of pets or kids(moving), and the selfie camera is terrible if more than one person in the shot(group selfies).
                                  Not sure on what basis you are giving camera positive feedback for these kind of phones.
                                  Request you to include group selfies and action shots feedback too.
                                  A smartphone should be capable of taking good pictures of humans pets etc..not just buildings and art.
                                  Other than xiaomi and pixel almost all phones fail to capture the people and action shots clearly. The reviewers or helping the smart phone brands by taking landscape shots and reviewing based on them. Who would take a flower or landscape shot with a smart phone. Professional will prefer a capable camera than a smartphone for those kind of shots. FYI iPhone does a terrible job too, if the person or a pet is moving. In low light , no need to even try that.The more we mention about it the better results will come else we will only see 400MP sensors. I tried s23, s23 ultra, moto 40, iPhone 13. None of these could match 5 year old pixel 2 xl 12mp results. We are giving least priority to the main objective of smart phone cameras. People, pets , things and then scan(images) the reviews should focus on. I still love the mi5 camera that took a stable photo of me playing a tennis shot. Thanks to Pixel 2 XL that took lot of cool portraits of my kid.
                                  Thanks you,
                                  Yash

                                    Please explain, how you rate your reviews? This 1000€ phone got 4.5 but 250€ Motorola Edge 30 Neo got only 4 stars??? Really unfair and strange. Literally 4 times cheaper compact phone with high quality oled (120Hz 1B colors, over 1100 nits brightness), Gorilla glass, similar Dolby Atmos sound, quality speakers, faster 68 W extreme fast charging (compared to Samsung's), unique Motorola features, better battery time and, AGAIN, IS 4X cheaper! is rated lower than S23!? Are you sponsored by bigger manufacturers?

                                      glass back fragile or not ?
                                      I hardly beleive the unbreakable gorilla thing, glass is glass, whatever marketing tries to sell me.
                                      Also I read the circuit board is glued to glass, so chaging glass cost almost as much as phone itself.

                                      I look at those alternatives : S22 FE : I absolutely love, EXCEPT battery life which is terrible (samsung 5 nodes... ah...). upcoming S24 : looming bad (hungry proc, edgy border, heavier...). Need good selfie cam also. Iphone : no no and no apple's wallen garden :)

                                        But no manufacturer has provided any support except OnePlus which offers lifetime warranty on green line issue.
