Never noticed the ads on mine cause I have my whole network setup with Pi-Hole

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)

If you plan on keeping the Device for More than 4 Years or so then the $300 is def worth. if you are just going to upgrade again in a year or less than it doesnt matter.

The entire series is basically entirely the same for the most part (Cameras, 120hz Amoled, Snapdragon 8 Gen2 etc)

The S23 and the S23+ are basically exactly the same however the S23+ is bigger and has a bigger battery.

The Ultra however has the biggest display, the biggest battery and a few other things. Only the Ultra has the SPen, the 200MP Camera (50MP on the others) and the 100x Zoom (30x zoom on the other models)

In general when it comes to camera quality they all take Very similar Shots.

So your choices are either Go all out, and get the Ultra, or Choose between The smaller or bigger S23/S23+.

Edit: Only the Ultra is 1440p, the other models are 1080p but it’s not very noticeable at all.

S23+ Unlocked with 256GB on Backmarket is like $660 after tax. I vouch for jt

Running the S23+ and honestly the battery life on this thing has been amazing. Can’t recommend enough. 8Gen2 is just so good. The S22 Series was known for having bad battery life due to Exynos and 8Gen1 being so inefficient.
