            I just got the One I 7 updated today, May 1st, 2025. I have Verizon and have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 version. I also did a factory reset and it shows. I would do a factory reset like stated, well worth it.

              Azeey, 29 Apr 2025Why this phone not provide the HDR in Netflix ??Based on the specifications, the S23 FE actually does have the display hardware capable of showing HDR (specifically HDR10+), and it supports the necessary Widevine L1 standard for high-quality streaming like Netflix.  

              However, getting HDR to actually show up in apps like Netflix involves a few layers: the phone's hardware, the necessary DRM (Widevine L1), and also the streaming service itself specifically certifying and enabling HDR for that exact device model in their app.

              While the S23 FE is listed as supporting HDR on Netflix by some sources, there have been occasional reports from users on forums mentioning that it wasn't working for them, even when the hardware and DRM were supposedly in place.

              So, the reason you might not be seeing it isn't because the phone fundamentally lacks the capability or the required DRM level, but it could potentially be related to how the Netflix app is interacting with the device's current firmware or a specific certification detail on their end for that model. Sometimes, minor software glitches on the phone itself can also temporarily affect the DRM level detected by apps.

              It's a bit frustrating when the hardware is ready, but the software layers aren't quite cooperating! Hopefully, with the One UI 7 update and maybe a factory reset, it could remedy the issue.

                  The OneUI 7 update should be released in a few days.

                  The main benefit of doing a factory reset after a major operating system update like this comes down to giving the new software the cleanest possible environment to run in. Think of it like moving into a new house versus trying to renovate an old one while living in it.

                  When you update your phone, the new operating system essentially lays over the old one, trying to bring all your existing apps, data, and settings along. Most of the time this works okay, but sometimes little bits and pieces from the old version can cause conflicts or don't transition perfectly to the new one.

                  Doing a factory reset after the update means you're wiping everything clean and installing the new One UI 7 as if it were on a brand new phone. This helps:

                  Prevent Glitches and Bugs: It clears out old system files or settings that could potentially cause instability, random crashes, or unexpected behavior with the new OS.

                  Improve Performance: A clean install often results in snappier performance and can resolve issues like unusual battery drain or lag that might crop up after an in-place upgrade. It ensures the new OS optimizations are working from a fresh start.

                  Ensure Compatibility: While major apps should be fine, it eliminates potential weirdness caused by how older apps or settings interacted with the previous system version.  
                  Essentially, it's the most thorough way to make sure you're getting the smoothest, most stable experience that One UI 7 has to offer on your hardware. It's a bit of effort to set everything back up, but many people find the resulting stability and performance boost well worth it.

                      Werner, 27 Apr 2025Im using S23 FE. After a big software upgrade like the UI 7... moreI do that after installing big software updates as I love a clean install, factory reset helps to resolve software issues that may arise, such as battery drain, sluggish performance, or connectivity problems. It helps clear out corrupted files or conflicting settings that might be causing problems.

                              Good phone, a budget friendly flagship with powerful exynos processor. I'm glad, I will get my first flagship phone soon!

                                I have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 version and don't experience the overheating everyone seems to be crying about. Even in games like Call of Duty: Warzone it gets warm, not hot. Maybe my hands can handle temperature different than the majority.

                                With the OneUI 7 update, they will integrate the Vulkan API to make the phone more responsive, that should be interesting.

                                But honestly, my next phone will be the Pixel 10. I cannot stand having a double ecosystem on this phone. Samsung tries too hard to push their apps over Google when I find the Google versions much better.

                                I also have 2.5Gb/8Gb RAM usage when my phone starts. People need to understand how to strip services and bloatware better. Another reason I like Pixel, straight Android UI.

The things I don't like about this phone are the bezels which sore to the eyes especially if you've used the previous S series which had symmetrical bezels also the weight and thickness of the phone are also on the down side.
