Samsung all day long. My girlfriend has an iPhone 13 and I have an S23, huge difference in terms of screen (the 120hz are necessary in 2023 imo) and the telephoto is great to have. The iPhone is a good phone, but it doesn’t have little things that when you add them up, it really makes it a no go for me. The stupid lightning cable, the poor interconnectivity between windows and apple, the S23 has Dex (I don’t use it all day long, but it’s really good to have in case you need it) and in terms of battery life they are almost the same. I don’t think there’s one reason to choose the iPhone over the Samsung, except the ecosystem but if you are not into that go for the Samsung.

I get your point, but the S7 FE is a midrange tablet. Using your logic, every Samsung phone would be a lower end device if it’s not the S23 Ultra.

Avoid the S22 if you can, the battery life makes it not worth it.

Thanks. I don’t think the Tab S7 FE us a lower end device, that’s why I can’t comprehend its 4GB of RAM

I turned the RAM Plus on on my Tab S7 FE because it’s a bit laggy (I think the 4GB of RAM may be the reason) and I’ve seen an improvement. Do you think it’s only my perception? I also have read that it damages the storage, so should I turn it off?

if an iPhone 15 is on your budget you might wanna go for the regular S23. A bright beautiful 120hz AMOLED screen, good battery life, ultrasonic fingerprint reader, no notch, a telephoto lens and the 8 Gen 2.

I couldn’t last a whole year with it. Sold it and ended up buying the S23. Best choice I’ve made, I will keep this phone for at least 4 years and I’m sure it will still run as smooth as day one. The S22 was great in almost every aspect, but the battery life makes all of it not worth it for me.

Wait until the S24U launches and make a decision then. I don’t think the new generation could justify its price difference, specially considering how great the S23 lineup has been with that Snapdragon 8Gen2. Also if price isn’t an issue, you could buy a Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds with the money you’re saving by buying the S23U instead of the S24U.

Yeah, you need to define what good quality is for you. The A54 has a full gorilla glass body, 4 years of OS updates, 5 of security updates and great cameras for its price. If that’s not enough for you (which in quality you would be getting better cameras overall, aluminum frame and a more powerful chipset if you go for the S23 FE) then yeah, go for the Fan Edition.

Does she need the power of the 8Gen1 or Exynos 2200? Because if not, the A34 or A54 are great options, much cheaper, decent cameras and great screens. If budget is not important, well of course the S23 FE is a great option, but there’s nothing wrong in saving a couple of hundred bucks.

I think it’s harder to go from a small phone to a big one, the weight and the handling are more difficult to get used to. Unless you consume a lot of videos or things like that, the S23 shouldn’t be a problem specially considering its great battery life and the performance improvement.

I use a S10e as my second phone. Yes, there are like 2 OneUI 5.1 features that I miss, but that in no way makes the phone obsolete. If the phone still fits your needs go and keep it as long as you want. Don’t mess with apps outside the Play Store and suspicious sites (or use Samsung browser with AdBlock) and you should be fine regarding security.

If the FE is at 600 bucks, then pass it. If you find it cheaper I think it could be a great phone and will last for a few years.

Go for the S8 for media consumption. It will last for a long time and Samsung has way more customization than Apple. The aspect ratio of Samsung tablets is much better for what you want and you also have Dex if you ever need it and the SPen that’s included.

I love small phones and I’ve tried bigger ones, but I hate them. The regular S23 is a great phone, it size and weight is perfect. I tried a S21 FE and the weight is so uncomfortable for me. Keep in mind that I don’t like watching shows or movies on my phone, only YouTube. Because I use the phone all day long, I hate when it feels like a big bulk on my pocket so 6,1 inch is a perfect size. Plus, the battery of the S23 is great for its size. In the end is up to you what you prefer, but if you come from a small phone I recommend you to try a bigger one before making s decision.

Do you know how the S23 FE manages the battery? I had an S22 and the 8Gen1 was an awful processor. It heated up while doing basic tasks and I was lucky if I got more that 4 hours of SoT. I’ve heard the new FE is better optimized, but I’m not sure if that’s enough.

In my experience the battery life on the regular S22 (8Gen1) was truly awful. I ended up selling it and buying the regular S23 and it has been incredibly good, I can enjoy the experience of having a powerful small phone without worrying about the battery.

The A52S is the best midrange phone Samsung has ever launched, even after two years they haven’t been able to make a better one.
