YUKI93, 12 Feb 2023I don't see anything wrong with that. The only time I ... moreFor me, phones should have Adaptive 60Hz where you run 60Hz all the time and let the app goes higher than 60Hz if it has high refresh rate support. That way, you the flexibility of long battery life while still enjoy the smooth animation when gaming. Constantly changing the refresh rate in Settings can be a down right nuisance.

    Mills, 12 Feb 2023Your just nitpicking :|imagine not nitpicking on a phone that costs as much as a nice enough pc, yikes.

        50MP samples have wider FOV. Cutting corners to get rid of softness like huawei? LOL

          "one of the best displays in the business"

          The most useless bunch of words that says nothing but fluff a low level thing or muddy the waters of the best thing. It's also lazy. Considering how long has this website has been going on and how many phones they review. I would think they would know what the BEST would look be like. Failure in the essence of reviews.

              Camparing image samples to S22U, S23U looks definately better in every camera module. However colors a bit on colders side, perhaps more natural look, and slightly over-exposed. I'm sure those will be fixed by the updates.

                I can confirm that the battery life test gains translate to real life battery life 👍
                I think it's the only Samsung that hasn't disappointed me in the last 3-4 years

                  mm, 12 Feb 2023arstechnica has the article among othersYah go read your articles. Hahaha.

                    Looking at test shots, some detail is better on vivo/different brands at 50mp, meaning hi res on samsung is not very consistent.
                    Vivo plus ver. win this time for me. Wish others adopted hi res raw on all cameras soon, not much of competition.

                      Super Android 22, 12 Feb 2023Pretty much every flagship or even mid ranger i believe atl... moreCorrect. Virtually every other Snapdragon phone has something more than vanilla aptx, except Samsung. This appears to be a deliberate ploy to push people towards AKG headphones and the Samsung scalable codec.

                      This means a premium phone is unable to perform as well as it should with a great variety of wireless headphones and earbuds. That's more Apple than Android in approach.

                      I'm a S22U owner and this comtinued approach by Samsung means by next phone will be a Pixel, Oppo, Sony or sone other manufacturer, as all those phone manufacturers play proper attention to Bluetooth audio codec support. If the S23U had this festure, I'd have upgraded in a heartbeat.

                            Galaxy S23 is the best Flagship i ever seen in my life.

                              Anonymous, 12 Feb 2023wait.... and how many user use that? 0.001% ? And how many ... morePretty much every flagship or even mid ranger i believe atleast (talking about aptx adaptive). My find x5 has adaptive and tws+, LDAC and LHDC (thats a xiaomi, huawei, oppo and realme thing only) plus aptxHD. Most decent wireless earbuds or headphones use either adaptive or LDAC for sony gear, worst case youll get aptxHD.

                              Qualcomm are releasing aptx LL soon i think which is meant to be pretty impressive and hopefully widely adopted.

                                    Please clarify the part with the zoom. You said the amount of samples given says your opinion. Maybe for you it's clear how you mean it - for me sadly not so :(

                                        Anonymous, 12 Feb 2023Mine has 120Hz. I turned it off. Was not any worth. I don't see anything wrong with that. The only time I use a high refresh rate is during gaming since you can notice the difference even if you use the Medium setting. Most of the time, it's 60Hz all day long.
