Otherwise I would pick Samsung, only if it doesn't come with Exynos though. I have been there before... Maybe it's not as bad anymore but I don't know.

    Anonymous, 08 Aug 2024Then it comes down to software vs hardware preference.If I ask you...which would you prefer and choose?
    Would you rather get a device with top-notch hardware but with slow updates and poor build quality (*cough* Xiaomi)
    or...
    Specs that are "behind" than the rest of the other Android players but makes up for better build quality and quicker updates (*cough* Samsung)?
    And what are your thoughts on Honor? (The 200 & 200 Pro seems to have compelling specs and features)

            Both the 13T and vanilla S23 are within the rpice range that I can afford. I avoid buying first hand on their respective websites as the deals are still not good enough for me. These companies are all stingy when it comes to offers and discounts and it has been like that for a few years now because of the cost of living, etc.

              I do not think I have a PWM sensitivity but i do notice when indoors, in a low light environment i notice these strange lines running over a phone screen. This i would say is sometimes and not everyday. So, do you think i could be sensitive somehow?
              The S23 FE's compelling advantages is as you rightly said. There are battery saving tips that I can do. But even so with an Exynos chip is the one's that holding me back. That's why a 13T and a vanilla S23 would still be my top two choices. Is that a good plan?

                Make your choice. You aren't going to get the perfect phone. Just look for one that satisfies your needs, and does that very well. That's all you need.
                Just make a purchase. Got it?
                Don't be so indecisive that you miss out the good offers!

                  From my perspective:
                  13T: worse software, bigger and more comfortable display, cameras not that good (colors).

                  S23 FE: smaller, better software, probably better cameras, worse battery life, exynos, very uncomfortable display.

                  I tell you, the display made me choose this. You should check whether you suffer from PWM sensitivity as well, because that limits your choice significantly.

                        I think we all know Xiaomi's ambiguous/bogus update policy even with premium midrange & flagships and it might be a while before they improve or be more open about it but it's perhaps better than a Motorola or Sony Xperia or Oppo.
                        Alternatively, I could go the other way and go for a much expensive Xiaomi 14 or an older but still a bit pricey Galaxy S23+. I could be paying £200 more with a Xiaomi 14 or under £100 for a used S23+ compared to a 13T pricing now.
                        Thoughts please?

It just looks different and a little cleaner, but nothing more. I have had Redmi phones before and only gave this a chance because of the display. If one day Samsung decides to use less cancerous displays, I will switch immediately.

                          You have to decide if it's worth it. The update policy alone turned out to be a scam. They said it gets years of updates, but don't mention that it's every 3-6 months. I wouldn't buy this a second time.

                            Or do you think Hyper OS is "better" if it was a premium flagship like the 13T?

                                  Xiaomi devices feel like abandoned hours after release.

                                    Uninstall most apps if not all?
                                    You can disable or turn off recommendations to most 1st-party apps?
                                    I normally install a third-party file manager and use Google Photos (as I'm enrolled with Google One) to use those "gimmicky" albeit useful AI features
                                    I use a third-party app like Zedge to download wallpapers, ringtones and text tones easily
                                    But it's kind of a big deal if it has no Auto refresh rate and cameras are worse then a Galaxy A52 and security comes every 3-6 months (quarterly at most).
                                    I'm thinking now of getting a budget OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite or even a Nord 3. if not a Galaxy S23 would suffice.
                                    What do you think?

Bloateware that you cant uninstall? ... moreI'm only sticking to this phone because the PWM dimming is done with a really high frequency. I can't look at any Samsung phone for longer than 3 seconds. It just boils my eyes and brain, causing severe headaches.

                                      For example,
                                      - it has no native E-mail app
                                      - the notes app has no pdf conversion for backups
                                      - the filemanager has no recycle bin
                                      - the gallery app is constantly broken and was constantly deleting files before it was updated 6 months later
                                      - there is no screen-on-time in the stats
                                      - changing wallpapers and ringtones is more difficult than operating a nuclear submarine
                                      - the camera quality is worse than a Galaxy A52
                                      - battery life is even at 60 Hz locked terrible
                                      - most apps can't be kept open in the background for longer than 2 minutes
                                      - there is one security patch every 3-6 months (at best)

                                      I have not used OnePlus before, but I bet it's not as bad as this.
