Ummm it’s not that important
Pin my comment
They now have Bypass charging just like Sony phones
I dare you to compare the camera vs the s22 ultra 😅
Why does it even matter. But hey, as long we counting I guess 4th here lol
I’m good with my s22 ultra for a few more years.
Lititz, PA! Great town
Q: Will I be able to see any difference between my S22U photos and photos from S23U?
A: No.
1. Let’s make it clear now — PHONE IS NOT IMPORTANT.
For me is is hige because I haven’t upgraded since note 10+
I think I’m NOT going to get the S23U. I prefer smaller phones. I had the LG V20 for 2 years and hated putting it in my pocket and impossible to use it in a holster case in vertical or horizontal position since it’s too tall and wide. I like the convenience and ergonomics of smaller phones.
Now my foldable flips are as tall as an S Ultra when they’re opened but they’re narrow and can still be pocketable when closed. I still use Nova and keep my apps at the middle with weather widget on all the pages. I see a lot more people on YouTube who were using an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max and downgraded to a 13 mini.
After the novelty wears off from the S23U’s great battery life and that camera, I think people will start feeling how cumbersome it is to wield or carry such a large device like that. As a teen, I’d wear baggy pants. Like 10 sizes above my actual waistline. Now my pants are the right fit which means smaller pockets. Holster/belt case can hurt my ribs trying to bend over wearing tighter pants.
I see some commenters already tired carrying around their Fold 4. The novelty of foldables is wearing off on people and ones who said they wouldn’t go back to a boring slab are now going back to a boring slab. Like JWill is saying, my preference is that S23 size. Nothing bigger than that.
My biggest phone I still use and is currently in my rotation is an iPhone X. I got it used for $125 from OfferUp only 2 months ago but it’s in pristine condition. For an iPhone turning 6 this Nov, it’s still a fun phone to use and hold. I don’t want a slab much larger than that. The base S23 is about the same size as the old X.
My old LG G5 is slightly larger than my iPhone X and it started feeling bulky after getting used to narrow phones like the iPhone 7, SE3, and Pixel 3. My G5 battery is completely dead and I don’t really care to buy another as it has short battery life no matter what. I still put a case on all my phones which adds more dimensions and weight.
As for the Z Folds, I respect people who enjoy it. But each time I try to find a case for it, I never could find a good one. And some apps are still not optimized for that inner screen. Just seems like a waste of $1800 or getting locked up for 2 to 3 years because many techtubers think owning it is cool and want to make it trendy.
The most fun phones for me are smaller phones. I still use an iPhone 4S, SE1, 7, X, and SE3 every other day next to my Razr 5G and Flip 3. I owned a Note 3 and LG V20 and just never got used to their size. Never used that S‑Pen from the Note 3. Base S23 is my max limit for a phone. If we get to the sizes of the iPhone XR/11, I find it too uncomfortable.
I’m looking beyond gimmicks and the honeymoon phase factor from every new shiny toy. My next phone should be the 13 mini. Battery life is no big deal since I can rotate between 4 to 9 phones every day even if some of them are 5 to 7‑years-old. Give me comfortable ergonomics over gimmicks I’ll hardly ever use.
I’d be picking up the base S23 if I had to pick one. GSMArena still gave it 16 & 17-hours for web browsing and video playback which is still great and higher than the 13 mini. S23 is basically like the 13 mini of the S23’s lineup but more of the same size as the iPhone X/XS and 11/12/13/14 Pros. Do I see myself ever using that 100X zoom a lot or S‑Pen? Highly unlikely. So I’ll save around $400.
For people who are enjoying their S23U, keep enjoying it. It’s obviously a great phone. It’s just not a phone for everyone because that SIZE and WEIGHT is not for everyone just like a Z Fold and Flip will never be for everyone. The novelty will wear off after a few months and some people will be wanting a more comfortable smaller phone again. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Back in 2013, it took me a long, long time to adjust to the HTC One M7 size coming from an iPhone 4 and Nexus One. Now the M7 size has become my sweet spot as the iPhone 6/6S, 7, 8, SE2/SE3 are close to its size. The 13 mini is closer to the Nexus 4 size which was closer to perfect. Samsung did release the S10e which was close to the same size as the flat S7 and Essential Phone but it was a one-off.
Even 2–3 mm taller or wider like my LG G5 can make a difference compared to my Pixel 3 and iPhone X in terms of comfort. I was part of the $223 club when the Essential Phone got that low around August 2018. I will never back another upstart company again. No thanks to Nothing. My Essential Phone’s battery is dying fast and I can’t find a place for it to get replaced.
This is why I’ll stick to Samsung and Apple. I don’t trust Google enough in hardware, hate Exynos, and all the Chinese OEMs aren’t fooling me. Good luck with aftermarket service. While an iPhone as old as the 6 can easily get its battery replaced in an Apple Store or really any third-party. iPhones are like Honda and Toyota for phones. So easy to source the parts since they’re so commonly purchased. We’re stuck with a duopoly of Samsung or Apple.
I think people going back to dumb phones like cheap flip phones is beneficial to one’s health. Be more like Selena Gomez and Ashton Womack. I need new prescriptions for my eyeglasses because I keep staring at the phone screens at night. People are only reading fodder on social media. Waste of time and a lot of misinformation out there to sway people into a direction they don’t want to go to.
YouTube will sway you to keep buying phones you don’t really want or need. Twitter will sway your political beliefs. Internet creates unhealthy addictions full of time-wasting, media consumption.
Can’t wait for the Xiaomi 13 Pro global version
The s23 line up is very compelling this year, with all the camera, processors and battery improvements for sure.
I have the S22 ultra… is it worth upgrading to the S23 ultra?
Oddly, Samsung also released two other versions of the S23 but all you media lot keep spouting on about the Ultra model. Lets have some reviews of the base & plus models too.
How many coffees did he drink ?
I’m a tech enthusiasts I’ve had the s20 ultra s21 Ultra s22 ultra and now I’ve bought the 23 Ultra.
