I can't recommend the S23 FE at all because the battery life and thermals are atrocious, even more so on the Exynos version. You can barely get a screen-on-time of 5 hours even if you don't use it for intensive tasks.

The vanilla S23 is a much better option... if you have the money for it. It's super lightweight and compact, is equipped with a faster and more efficient Snapdragon processor, comes with better cameras, and despite the miniscule 3900mAh battery, it can still manage a screen-on-time of 6 hours at best.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend getting a renewed S23 because their conditions can be uncertain, but the choice is yours whether or not you want to take that risk. Otherwise, go with the 13T, which you can still pick up brand new.

They invested too much on chipset, cameras and performance but i think they forgot to protect the front screen with any Gorilla Glass protection. I don't think they mentioned the front screen type in the website. And it's curved albeit slightly. So, as it stands it is still a Xiaomi 13T and a vanilla S23 or S23+.
    I wanted an S23 FE but with a small 4500mAh capacity and Exynos Samsung just went mental on that and forgot something in the drawing board.
    What do you think?

      Gino76ph, 05 Aug 2024OK. What are your thoughts on the Honor 200 - cameras, upd... moreHonor phones aren't available where I live. So I can only rely on Honor's official site, and review sites like GSMArena for information.

      - Cameras: the Honor 200 uses the same cameras as its Pro variant, which retails for £685. Looking at GSMArena's review of the Honor 200 Pro, all of the cameras perform really good across the board, including selfie, ultrawide, and telephoto. Even better than the 13T, I must say.

      - Update policy: Honor stated that they promised 4 OS updates and 5 years of security patches. They don't mention anything about how often they do system updates or quality-of-life updates though.

      - Performance: It comes equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. It's slightly less powerful than the Dimensity 8200, but has better battery life and thermals in comparison.

      - Battery life: At best, you should be able to get a screen-on-time of 7-8 hours, which is enough to last you throughout the whole day.

        What are your thoughts on the Honor 200 - cameras, update policy, performance, battery life, etc.
        And would you trade the 13T for an Honor 200?

          If they made a compact version of the Note 13 Pro with a 6.36 inch display, I'd buy it. But it's a sad reality that compact budget phones practically don't exist anymore.

Don't know if they fixed that with the newer batch of units now.

              As for a used S23+, well I don't personally like buying used phones myself because it's risky. There's always a chance of getting a faulty unit, a badly damaged one, or even a counterfeit. If you do get one that's genuine and still in good condition, their warranty is usually expired, so if they break, you're out of luck with getting free repairs or a new replacement.

              Personally, I'd still go with the 13T. It's hard to find a better option elsewhere that isn't second-hand.

                Williamzzz, 04 Aug 2024Yes, because I'm a Xiaomi user myself, so maybe I'... moreOf all my choices of my next phone (Galaxy A54, Redmi Note 13 Pro / Poco X6, OnePlus Nord 3 & Nord CE4 Lite) i'm slowly leaning towards the Xiaomi 13T.
                Albeit Xiaomi's ambiguous or bogus update policy it's perhaps better than a Motorola or Sony Xperia's.
                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? before I have a migraine. Haha.

                  - It's only certified for IP54 splash proof. While the 13T is IP68 certified, meaning the 13T should withstand being submerged in water.

                  - It doesn't come with eSIM, as far I can remember.

                  - It doesn't have a telephoto camera.

                  - It only has EIS for video recording on 1080p and under, while the 13T supports EIS for up to 4K.

                  - It doesn't come with a protective case inside the box. Not a big deal really, since there are some pretty good, inexpensive cases you can buy just about anywhere.

                  On top of those, the Nord 3 also has an inferior main camera compared to the 13T. There's always a slight yellow tint during low-light conditions, considerably less detail, and more sharpening.

                      Gino76ph, 02 Aug 2024I'm still torn. I need to decide which one to get. G... moreFor me, it's the Xiaomi 13T. It's just a no-brainer especially when you can get it for the same price as the A54.

                      The screen is better, the processor is much faster, you get more storage and RAM for the same price as the base A54, there's an infrared blaster, it charges a lot faster, and you get all the accessories you need in the box including a wall adapter and case. Samsung won't give you anything besides a USB cable and a SIM ejector in the box, so you'll end up having to spend more.

                      The A54 might take better selfies, but I don't personally take selfies often. Even if I do, I still wouldn't pick the A54 because it's an inferior phone in just about every other aspect, and this is coming from both a Samsung and Xiaomi user.

                      I'd rather take 10 strengths and 1 weakness, over 1 strength and 10 weaknesses if you know what I mean. That's why I can't recommend the A54 over the 13T unless you're a die-hard Samsung user.

                        Zero, 02 Aug 2024Depends on your own personal taste when it comes to cameras... moreHow about a Galaxy A54 or a Xiaomi 13T or a OnePlus 3.

                          Vivo, Realme and Infinix are out of the question as they are not widely distributed and supported in the UK. Oppo Reno12 is out of the question too as it has curved screen which i do not like.

                            Galaxy A54 - poor PWM dimming, saturated (? inaccurate colours), very good selfies, slow battery charging
                            Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G / Poco X6 - Excellent performance, excellent battery capacity/life, so-so ? accurate colours for main camera, poor selfies
                            Xiaomi 13T - Excellent performance, excellent battery life, outstanding Leica cameras for main, poor selfies
                            So, if it was an everyday phone for above average performance, all-around cameras, above average battery which one would you choose with a bit of compromise?

If you have a store nearby (like in some malls) wherein you can test the camera of the phone you want to buy and compare it to others, it's much better rather than asking someone's own personal preferences. Some of them will just give you an answer based on the phone's brand and not the quality. Some are bias. But I assure you, since I am currently using this Note 13 Pro, I personally don't like the selfie camera. Super pale. I like Samsung's where it have lively colors. Again, it depends on your taste.

                                As for phones with better selfie cameras for the same price range, or maybe even cheaper, there's a couple options, but keep in mind these prices are based on where I live converted to pounds. They also may not be available where you live:

                                - Vivo V30 (£290)
                                - Oppo Reno12 (£338)

                                  False, its Default refresh rate setting can switch between 30Hz, 60Hz, 120Hz, or 144Hz.

                                  "Cameras are worse than a Galaxy A54?"

                                  Heck no, the Galaxy A54 produces very oversaturated, blurry and unnatural photos. The selfie camera is better on the A54, that's just about it, the rest of the phone is way inferior compared to the 13T.

                                  "RAM and app management is poor leading to so-so battery life."

                                  No way to prove that. If anything, Xiaomi has overly aggressive battery management leading to background apps restarting/shutting down if you don't use them for a while, unless you go through the settings and change each individual apps' "Battery saver" setting.
