I was into an dilemma: “iphone 13 pro or s23?”

So I finally choose one a couple of hours ago: the s23 in 256gb version to have ufs 4.0, I hope it was worth it! Any tips for new Samsung users? (I’ve never used an Samsung, but always was on Android tho)

    First of all, congrats on your S23!
    Just use it like you’d normally would. The phone will study your usage behavior and patterns on its first week, so you might notice warmer temperature than normal, and not so good battery longevity. That’s expected behavior until it completes its analysis. You’ll get a battery bump after the break-in period.

    Yes it is. It’s the best phone ever just like the ultra. Only thing I’m tryna get past is the smaller form screen size coming from a 6.7 iPhone

    There’s a few videos like this, I’ve been using a Android for 6 years and even I learned some new stuff. I got the s23 ultra just because I wanted the bigger screen but they are basically the same phone and it’s my favorite phone of all time, no regrets.

    Just got one last Monday myself, so far I like it, TONS of features, still haven’t had the time to figure them all out yet. The wired transfer is fast though, just make sure you charge the phone all the way before transfer otherwise, it’ll stop. Custom features are nice 👌 I’ve had samsung phones in the past, but currently moved over from a one plus 7t pro, so it’s definitely a difference in size hands down. Pictures are amazing though

      One plus and oppo are good but they lack so much customisation and features compared to samsung! I love my 23+ only had it 2 days so hoping battery improves after it learns my usage pattern

    if you’re comparing with iphone 13, or even 14 (and maybe even 15), S23 is worth its price. Within the S23 series, I feel that S23 should drop further. But you might’ve gotten a good discount. In any case, compared to whatever iphone 13 sells at, you got a better deal with S23.

    Snag a silicone case, gets rid of the camera bumps,

    Dunno why but being able to lay the phone down completely flat amazes the hell outta me,

    No wobbling!

    congrats. For screen protection grab a spigen 2 pack glass tr, it is brilliamt, cheap, takes 10 sec ti put on and the fingerprint sensor works flawlessly. For minimal work case i recommend ringke fision matte and for higher protection uag as only uag, ringke, spigen and dbrand have separate camera cutouts but uag gives better protection as i ve tested them all but dbrand grip does have better grip however it attracts duat and linnen like crazy
