UltraHD, 09 Feb 2023What's wrong with people???? Acting like this is the w... moreThey are obsessed with Chinese phone. I've had a P20 Pro and Mi 9T Pro for years till now. And trust me, they are over exaggerating it.
My phones are shit compared to my wife's S8+.
We hv decided to upgrade our phone once in 5 years, in case it feels super sluggish and outdated. But as of now, both of my phone feels super crappy, even with unlocked bootloader and custom ROM. swapped for new battery and replaced the screen (both got cracked) and it doesn't even compare to the S8+ sturdiness.
Granted, Samsung doesn't have the best track record, but obviously it is wayyyyy superior compared to the likes of Xiaomi, Honor, Oppo, Vivo and the others.
The only phones worth comparing to would be Pixel lineups, Motorola (back during Z lineups, they have the premium quality feels in your hand), Asus, Huawei (the only chinese phone that feels premium now, apart from no google services) and Sony.
No, I'm not speaking most people's geek nerd smartass wannabe language. I'm pointing out what general users LIKE US, think of it. Just don't be biased and d*** ride so hard on chinese brand. We got no incentive tryna promote them here. We care about which company provides the best service and give us the best user experience from the get go.

uk7866, 08 Feb 20231080p display and 8GB ram, awful at this price!Where do you need more than 8GB ram for? Unless you're a heavy gamer, 8GB is sufficient. It's not a PC that really needs ram memory. A smartphone does not need a truckload of ram like a PC does. It needs some ram, but last years the trend is to compare it with PCs and the smartphone industry has really convinced average Joe to want more ram so they pay more for it.

These pre-installed junk consumes noticeable power in background.
Thats why I've disabled most of pre-installed apps as much as i can & apps that i don't use or rarely use,I've placed them into deep sleep.
Using phone in Power saving mode,this gives me around 15-20% improvement in SOT.
So basically with these small tricks you can get upto 6-6.5 hours SOT easily depending on your usage.

"And a more beautiful design"
lolwut? Literally looks like Samsung's budget line. The camera island on the S21/22 was unique and eye-catching. This redesign is generic and cheap-looking.

What's wrong with people???? Acting like this is the worst phone ever, the worst display, the worst camera, the worst battery etc.
S23 isn't bad at all, it's literally a perfect little device. The price is ridiculously high but again, the price will drop eventually.

I'm so happy to see Samsung have finally taken the speakers more seriously this time. They've gone from one of the weakest aspects to one of the strongest! I'm interested to see how it compares to the Ultra. Usually the larger phones have a bit better performance.

As Galaxy S22 user.
I can say its near perfect phone.Everyrhing works smoothly except battery life.actually its not that bad as expected from 3700mAh phone but still noticeably lower.With power saving mode you can expect 6.30-7 hours SOT.
Cameras are really good only thing i didn't like was smearing of fine details on 1:1 magnification.
8G1 is very fast & with OneUI 5,not phone doesn't heat that much.
Display is good & bright,Speakers are moderately loud with pleasing sound quality.
Small size is very handy & lightweight also.
OneUI is good but the huge number of pre-installed apps for everything is annoying.Samsung really needs to decrease pre-installed bloatware/apps or atleast give option to untick those while setup.
So even if S23 only improves on battery life than its actually solves biggest problem with S22.
Now S23 is literally best compact android phone you can get.
But since S22 is available for good discounts than S23 doesn't make a strong case for itself.
Yes S23 is equally good/better but paying a hafty amount for 10% better battery is too much i think.but if you are not bothered about S23's higher price & don't want to compromise on anything then S23 is good to go.
