We refuse to pay the same amount of money for an inferior product. If they want to sell us Exynos, they should lower the price in accordance to performance loss over the snapdragon variant. I would not pay the same money for an Exynos version on principle alone, and I don’t take it kindly from Samsung attempting to rip me off.
Do you know that the Tensor chips found in Pixels are rebranded Exynos?
This is not a rumor, it is confirmed, and if you are on an Exynos region you ll do well to get an S23.
Non chinese, good support, reliable, affordable, best UI.
Stock Android phones have no preinstalled Samsung apps. Does that make them unsafe in your opinion? its optional for you to go along with Samsung’s apps or not, and also it is very easy to make a samsung acc. Just log in with your existing email and voila.
I know right? the amount of people’s stupidity amazes me. I know a lot such people.
Just don’t be one of those guys that leave a $1000 iphone for a $200 android and then cry Android trash. S23 is the lowest you should go.
Why do we need to do it after an update? Doesn’t it do it on itself?
If you are on an Exynos region get the S23 and hold it as much as you can. Who knows when we ll ever have a true flagship chip again.
There have been reports of burn in on AMOLED displays due to a glitch that disables burn in protection. I presume they are working 24/7 to fix this currently because it could send in thousands of devices for repairs and that is definitely something they don’t want. I have been using 6.0 for a few days now and it is fine. Just make sure to avoid static images if possible, particularly your taskbar. Make sure to switch to full screen frequently so the status bar doesn’t stay lit for hours with battery/wifi etc indications because this will cause the burn in.
You have an AMOLED so use it. If you wanted natural you should have gotten an A13 instead.
I had the same dilemma with you, as 6.1 is not big enough for modern standards yet I didn’t want to spend an extra phone of cost for the plus. Then I realized something. I have a 34’ PC monitor, and I will soon have an 65’ OLED TV. Needless to say, my phone is NOT going to be my primary means of content consumption, but merely a highly reliable and snappy tool with which I communicate, take good pictures, and do my 2FA security stuff. So screen size becomes less important and suddenly, the more compact form comes at play. If your phone is going to be your primary means of content consumption go all the way to Plus or even the Ultra. If you are me the small one is clearly the better choice.
Not to mention that Exynos is a thing again. Personaly, I am going to use the S24 as a stepping stone to get the s23. Prices of the s23 should go down a month after the s24 releases.
That depends. Do you have an Apple ecosystem? if not you shouldn’t have had an iphone in the first place.
Galaxy A5. That slick aluminum frame was ahead of its time.
You need to get a few things straight. When you buy a phone, you don’t buy just the hardware of it, the camera is one of the many sensors. You primarily buy software support. If companies supported their phones indefinitely we would stay with our old phones until they stopped working but no. You wanted Android 13 & 14 and their new features because Android 9 wasn’t cutting it any longer. In addition you got security patches that is why you got a new phone, stop pretending that you didn’t know that in the first place. It will take more than 5 years for a midrange phone to catch up to a flagship specs-wise but that doesn’t mean that an old phone is better or secure to use.
You buy a piss-budget phone and you expect it to be good? Then why do they make flagships?
I agree. It is a big step up from 5.0 and whoever says otherwise I really don’t know what is wrong with them.
