Performance and battery life aside I got it like 5 hours ago, and honestly it turned the phone (S23 ultra) into an eye sore
The default font looks a bit squished and stretched, the lock screen clock numbers are way too thick and unpleasant to look at, and the pull down menu is an ugly grayish whit 6 options that just take space whit no obvious way to remove
There’s other stuff UI wise that feels slight off but that might be due the font

Galaxy S23+ 256GB (U1 Firmware)
Everything has been great so far, I really enjoy some of the changes to the UI, (i already use a smaller font size and less screen zoom, also using 5x6 for both app and home grid)
Battery Life has been pretty great so far, batter than One Ui 5.1.
I kind of do hate the “Revamped” battery health section, being able to see SOT since last 100% charge was much better imo.
Using the phone with everything on, (BT, Wifi, 120hz, standard performance profile, AOD, etc)
Can you please tell me if you did a factory reset after updating? Is there any need?
Battery life is trash…used to last me a whole day and sometimes even more. Now I gotta charge it twice a day
S23+ 512gb here in NZ. Font is Ugly. Layout looks ugly. I run Nova Homelauncher.
SoT/Battery life is much worse now. Too much going on in the background more than before. (Even with deep sleep apps etc).
Messenger is being a pain in the a&& by crashing alot more than usual. (Both Stable and Beta)
Dont update. Its rubbish.
Am i the only one who is ok with the update?
Too much going on in the background more than before
Elobarte?
My favourite thing so far is the new bigger media notification player, it looks really cool.
Other than that, it’s fine. The font is growing on me, battery life is the same as before the update, and I actually like the new quick panel.
Not an amazing update, but appreciated
I absolutely agree with the media player haha, easily my favorite addition of this update. the changes that I don’t like are all things that we’ll all get used to
Well, my S23+'s battery got cut almost in half. Right now I’m down to 37% with 2h SOT. That’s really a shame in comparison to how well it did before the update…
S23+ here, I’ve also noticed battery life is worse, sucks because that’s lterally the only change I’ve noticed.
Not a big of the new design changes. I think the new quick panel is dumb. It kills the whole idea of using the phone with one hand. The battery life is really good.
But, it can be used with one hand? It’s significantly easier for me to work with this layout than it was the other one, quicker too
I despise the new quick panel, I don’t like the new font and the new Archive redesign, but I like everything else.
I like it a lot. Battery life is either the same or better. I like the new camera layout/features and the new music widget in the notifications. The text isn’t the best, but you can adjust the text type and font size.
The new font is ass. I kinda like the gray control panel UI theme they did but I think they need to do that to the rest of it. It’s a shit shack of colors and themes
Ugly as heck, but base s23 battery is around 20 percent better (I cleared cache)
Are you using FHD or QHD?
FHD+ why?
Setting it to QHD should solve all your problems. It worked for me There’s no battery either.
Haven’t noticed battery impact.
Bigger icons :(
Homestar stopped working :(
Persistent notifications are swipeable, wtf android 14
Sometimes routines are not triggering correctly.
Not a fan of the new default font.
I like the new look of the notification for media.
This^2
this!!! I despise the bigger Icons like goddammit I already had a theme for my icons downloaded and they’re so big??
they also changed the size and spacing of the folders and I hate it. Literally. Was better before.
The one thing I actually dislike a lot. ^^
I don’t like new font and I hate new emoji looks, but other than that it’s fine
The grayscale control panel and arrangement is horrible.
i fixed this by reapplying a custom theme in the Theme Park app
Beautiful and runs great on S23. No significant battery improvements though still getting around 8-9 hours.
Im kinda mad that they didn’t put volume controls on control center/menu.
