I wouldn’t buy the S23U right now unless you could find a very good deal, as the S24U is just around the corner and is due for a bigger update. But for the S23U, it is a very good device. Out of all the recent S series phones, I would say it’s the best and most complete phone. Everything from the camera, performance and battery life is top level and one of the best you are going to find on any phone right now. For comparison my old iPhone 13 Pro feels slow compared to this.
The OS experience is also nice although some people might not like One UI, I still think it’s a very solid user experience for most people. I don’t use Samsung pay, but Google Pay and any other banking app works just fine in my experience (make sure your bank support it though). Apart from Apple ecosystem related functionality, there isn’t really anything on iOS that can’t do on Android so you don’t have to worry about that.
