As a person who has been using the note since 2017 I'm excited to get a smaller phone.

[BomberFletch]

I'm also a fan of smaller phones. It's much more practical and easier to fit into one's pocket. I currently have an S7 that still works almost perfectly, but I am considering upgrading to an S23. So thank you for this review.

Anyone that wants to buy the regular S23, get the 256GB model which comes with UFS 4.0. The 128GB version comes with UFS 3.1.

I had S10 with the same 6.1in display for 3 and a half years, and I just ordered S23 today in dark green! Love being able to use my phone with one hand. Excited for S23

[jdneilso]

Nice video. I just got a new S22 a few months ago and I'm pretty happy with it. No need to upgrade for me. I really do like the smaller form factor.

I own a Galaxy S22 Ultra and recently purchased a S23 to replace my S21. The smaller flagship i carry around because its lightweight and small, it just vanishes in my pocket. Very confortable to use w one hand or on the move. Besides its cheaper in case of stolen, lost or broken. My only issue? Short battery life. The 22 Ultra is a productivity beast, has a fantastic screen, better cameras, and has an SPen, which I use a lot. I wish Samsung would offer a 6.1" Ultra, which to me it wd be the perfect phone, that once was the Galaxy Note 10.

I love your channel for the reason that you do a video on each phone not just the ultra, great job.

Nobody should buy the base S23 at 128gb of internal storage that comes with UFS 3.1.

Instead purchase the 256gb option S23 which comes with UFS 4.0.

UFS is Universal Flash Storage that overall improves the phones usability experience and also improves longevity overtime.

even though (apparently) there isn't much difference between FHD+ and WQHD+ displays, it's kind of sad to see that the screens made for the 2019 S10 have higher quality than a 2023 model. I have an S10, and yes, you can clearly see the difference in quality between the 2 displays, but i don't think that the display is a big deal compared to all the other benefits you get in the s23

Just bought 256GB regular green S23 👏🏻🤠 Receiving it tomorrow 🤩

[ManuSaraswat]

My s20+ went for a 300$ trade in and got the 256 gb s23 regular for 500$ with wireless nd wired charger. S20+ even to this day is not showing any age other than it's battery since it was exynos, still with s23 getting same snapdragon variant everywhere and possibly the last time my s20 would get such good trade in value, it seemed like a great choice. Also went with the regular instead of plus cause after using s20+ for 3 years It still feels too big and heavy for single handed use.

[SadalDay]

right now its 299 at google pre-order with phone number merge for the base s23

I am excited for the S23. I giggle when people call this a small phone. I am upgrading from an Galaxy S7 which has a 5.1 inch screen.

[veens.m]

Thank god. This is what I’m looking for. I can only find Ultra reviews all around.

[wordsmith]

Thank you for all this information. I'm looking to get the s23 as my very first phone. Hearing what you have to say about it only has me more excited for it. Especially the camera. I'll definitely be looking out for your video talking about it more later on.

[jorgepalma]

Just got my S23 in the mail after pre-ordering through t-mobile.
It's working really well and a nice upgrade from my S20FE.

[AlfuhPAD]

I really hope the battery life (SOT) on this model can perform well. It should match the Zenfone 9 in that regard to be considered good. The S22 on SG1 was such a disaster for SOT

[ArcadianGenesis]

Compactness is very important to me for a mobile device. Not just for pocketability, but for ease of manipulating in the hand. For that reason, I *always* choose the base model.

Anyway, I just pre-ordered an S23 with 256GB storage in Green! This will be my seventh Samsung phone after the following:

Samsung Exclaim
Samsung Epic 4G
Galaxy S2
<HTC One M7>
Galaxy S6
Galaxy S8
Galaxy S10

[PedroPrego]

I heard you saying "the 6.9 inch ultra" and just there my brain connected. That's not far from an original ipad mini in display size. Carrying around a tablet in the pocket. Amazing.

If the battery isn't a lot lower than the +, I'm perfectly happy with the "little" guy.
