While the phone has a premium feel, slightly better performance and great battery, It feels like a sideway step. A 1080p screen with only 393ppi is very disappointing, even the camera has less megapixels. That’s what I get for not being patient I guess, the S24+ looks to have all the specs I wanted. Pain.

    More megapixels does not equate to a better camera or quality.

    The SD 8 Gen 2 is the biggest upgrade you’ll get, especially if coming from exynos.

    Then adaptive refresh vs static is another one, other than that, don’t expect massive upgrades in such a small time. Phones have pretty much reach peal these last few years. Foldables are what you are looking for if you want a fresh new experience.

    ULTRA, the new epic standard is here. ALSO for the OP, always go Ultra if the size doesn’t bother you!!

    I noticed 0 difference from my note 10 to my s23 ultra aside from camera and even camera zoom is pretty useless. Cool for like 1 day then you never use it again.

        They’re speaking about feeling underwhelmed with an S23+, likely have some degree of buyers remorse. Might as well go back to their trusty and capable device for now, push back upgrading a couple more months to see if the S24U will scratch the itch. Rinse and repeat until one actually feels the necessity to upgrade.

          It was too late to go back to my old device as I traded up, but they accepted a refund as I moved up to the s23 ultra. Very pleased with the screen and camera.

    Return it if you can. They’ve been being cheap with the plus since the s20. Apparently $1000 isn’t enough for flagship specs on a phone that will be worth $300-400 after 2 years…

      Note, $1,000 in 2013 is the equivalent of about $1,400 now. Meaning modern Galaxy S series phones are about $400 “cheaper” than they used to be, if they’re still $1,000.

      The S20 isn’t 10 years ago, obviously, but inflation and supply chain issues have hit hard.
