  • They took away people's choice when they removed the SD card slot and that was only to charge more for bigger rom space on the phone. Yes the SD card is slower then system rom, but they should have left that choice to the consumer.

    • It was a lousy excuse to give to people. The problem was consumers didn't voice their concerns. Remember when they removed the SD card slot in the Note 5. The following year they put back the SD card slot. It's sad how people just accepted the changes Samsung made from what I can recall from the top of my head. Their midrange and budget phones still have SD card slots.

  • Honestly your bit about being thankful for not having a SD card slot was not a smart segment. SD cards that are fast enough for recording 4K footage are not expensive or hard to come by. It is simply a downgrade not to have a SD card slot. Paying 40 euros for 256 gigs on 4K capable SD card vs paying hundreds of euros more for the same extra capacity of internal space is not something to be thankful for.

Only reson I bought a new phone was bc it froze 10 times a day, the screen had black blobs and battery life was horrible. I bought an S23 a week and a half ago and it is great but I still need to fall in love with it. It has less features (no headphone jack, no heartrate sensor) but I hope to enjoy it for years coming.

  • I have to disagree with the Micro SD card take. As someone that uses Galaxy A52s and only has USB 2.0 support. It seriously sucks to have transfer anything pics/vids to a computer cause it can take several hours that even that the micro SD card itself is way faster. Also biggest reason is storage. 256 is good but it means I need to transfer all stuff to a computer every 6 months or so cause that's how fast my storage gets used up. I also prefer to keep my pics/vids on device cause I usually edit them or need to send it to people so have direct access to it is needed. So the Micro SD card is mainly used as secondary storage while the internal is primary. Also cloud services like Google Photos have limits. Back when google photos was unlimited I was a genuinely good solution and lower quality wasn't a big deal but now says it's quite hard to survive off 15gb of storage while also hoping you fill it up cause then your Gmail account just gets locked cause it can't receive messages because the storage is full for some reason. So the excuse of "Have another directory being annoying" is quite pathetic as thst's literally a feature of the phone. If you don't want your pictures going there just don't use it or don't add a microSD. Leave it empty. Cause already internal storage options are expensive enough to get a higher tier while Micro SD were the perfect cheap alternative

Coming from the S8(still a great phone BTW, if only I could root it, SD variant 😮‍💨) got the regular S22 instead, and it's been really great. The newer SoC makes everything just fly, and the 120hz(hits battery) is totally worth it. It's super fast charges. Cap it at 85%, so I'm fine for now.

  • Great comparison. Still enjoy my S20 since the cameras are not that important to me. Personally I find OneUI far more flexible than iOS for simple things such as volume and brightness control when using one hand operation +. I get frustrated when I use my wife’s iPhone. Slick device but lack of customization irritates me.

  • I love my s20 5g. I originally switched to it from my s8 in 2020, and though my S8 was a decent phone, i loved the look of the s20 and was drawn to the rainbows on the back lol. I dont regret switching to it but recently my s20 5g charge port has been loose which is the only thing that is getting me to even consider getting a new phone. But if I had the choice with at&t to get another s20 I would 100% do so. If you have a nice working s20 i would say keep it and wait to the next generation. Its a good phone!

  • i have an s20 snapdragon imported from china, for the chipset. it's a great phone. it's only cons are battery life, which is so-so, let's say acceptable for a medium user and that it overheats quite quickly in the sun with data + gps on. this means that when you travel, it's almost unusable and it's gets depleted very quickly. otherwise, it's great. great screen, great haptics, great weight, i love it. will see how s24 is, maybe i'll upgrade.

  • I'm currently comparing the S23 and S23 plus. The only reason I like the plus is the screen size but I don't think it's worth a few hundred dollars more for just that. For the first time I'm considering a smaller phone as I have a Tab S8 for longer viewing sessions. So I don't need a huge screen on a phone. Im just not sure I want to deal with the hassle of trying to sell my Pixel 7 Pro and buying a used S23. So I will probably opt for going through Verizon to trade in my pixel as Samsung no longer is accepting the Pixel 7 phones as trade ins on the S23 and plus.

But i think i will buy either the Z fold 4 (or 5 when it's cheaper), or the S23 ultra. For me the s23 doesn't have that much differences to upgrade.

  • I agree with most of points except 120hz refresh rate and micro SD card support. 120hz display is super smooth. You can definitely feel the difference when you go back to 60hz. 120hz makes the phones feel more responsive and scrolling experience is fluid. Since it's adaptive. It only uses 120hz when you interact with it. Rest of the time when there is no interaction it switches back to 60hz. Micro SD support is a good thing to have. You mentioned that recording to SD card and exporting is slow. You can change camera settings to use internal storage. You can use SD card for other files where read and write speed isn't a priority. Its always better to have expandable storage.

    • @@Greenfrom3 Totally agree. If you limit charging to 85% you are starting out in effect with a 2+ yr old battery. Batteries are consumables, they are all going to degrade over time anyway. Intelligent charging habits (such as not constantly "topping off" the charge and running the charge to 0% etc.) will give you sufficient battery lifetime. Besides which, once you hit 80% or so, the phone slows down to a trickle charge, so you are not "slamming" it to 100%.

  • I finally decided to get the S23 Ultra. I had the S20+ and I gotta say, the S23+ feels like a downgrade, mostly. Lower-res screen, no Micro SD port, pointier edges, the cameras are just so intrusive for the feel in the hand. Of course, it has better cameras and a more powerful chip, but at that point I felt like upgrading to the Ultra, as it retains the resolution my previous phone had, and the higher capacity means I miss the Micro SD port less.
