I just wanna say you’re mom is very tech savvy for an old person. My mom wouldn’t know what a call recorder is. She just got the s23 ultra because it has the biggest screen. That’s all she cares about. Old, wants huge font, huge screen. Money doesn’t matter since old people benefitted from some amazing economics.
Now there’s a chance your mom is not really old and you’re just very young, in which case, congrats and i hate you 😀
I don’t get this. You’re nerdy enough to post on reddit, but not smart enough to know what phone you bought?
I have a tabs8 with snapdragon and it’s fine for a tablet, but i couldn’t imagine this shit chip in a phone (s21 snap uses the same soc). And they say the exynos is worse?
How much SOT do you get?
S23 still waiting for update, let me get mine first, then last year’s phones can get it
My tab s8 ultra had 5.1.1, while my s23 was stuck on 5.1. come to think of it, my s23 is still on 5.1, while my tab s8u is still ahead on 5.1.1. both have the October patch though. You didn’t get 5.1.1 on the tab? Or just not realize the tab was already ahead of the s23 in support for a few months there?
On my s23+ it’s 24 by default, 10 with Galaxy max hz app
I swear by speck presidio grip cases. They help the phone not fall by making it more grip able, but also offer great protection if they do fall.
from what i understand, best take is basically taking a motion photo so you can pick the best frame. samsung lets you take a motion photo. you can even take a video by holding the camera button in photo mode. then you can pick your favorite frame. maybe i’m missing it, does pixel pick the best frame for you? it’s basically a motion photo gimmick and motion photos are accessible on Samsungs. what do you think it is?
any s23 with 256gb or more storage should be good (disk speed is slower on the 128gb model). s23 base doesn’t have 45w charging. s23 ultra has more megapixels (200mp instead of 50mp) and more zoom (10x zoom instead of 3x zoom), and a tiny bit more battery (300mah) than the s23+. If that’s important go for the ultra. otherwise, go for the s23+ and save some money
S23 fixed it with with the ultra sonic reader

compare the price of fixing this old ass phone vs getting a used less old phone.
seroiusly.
your choice of s8+ plus the cost of battery replacement vs s23 ultra (one of the most expensive new phones) is specious.
get some less old ass phone for less money. like a used s20 note or something. depends on your region and prices available on less old ass phones.
