Great compact phone
I was a bit skeptical when purchasing the S23. I had a zenfone 9 which i really loved: great form factor, fast, not bloated with sw, great battery and good camera. In my new house cellular coverage is bad. My zenfone couldn’t handle calls well and wifi calling isn’t supported. I bought the s23 for its wifi calling capabilties. But I don’t need that. The antenna is strong enough and calls do not get interrupted. And then I have wifi calling as back up!. The phone is not bloated and is extremely fast. I was used to fingerprint sensor on the side but the S23 has sensor under the glass…and works faster. overall great experience and i am happy with this samsung s23 phone

A year later, still works great
This is the 2nd longest phone I’ve kept so far and the only phone I kept in a case which is why it’s made it this long lol. Before this I had the note 20 (favorite phone) this is the better option with the exception of smaller screen size and lack of SD card slot.

Sleek and works well.
Bought this for my mother to use as she was overdue for an upgrade. I am personally an iOS user.
Aesthetic–
The design of this phone is very sleek and lightweight. I particularly like that its design is a little less wide with consideration to holding the phone better, especially if you have smaller hands like we do.
Camera–
Immaculate camera quality for the price. I think I’m jealous. There’s great contrast and saturation to colors, and it gives life to the photos taken. There’s so much more detail as well. Not a fan of using it for selfies for that same reason though haha!
As for software, I think it was fairly simple to setup and relatively straightforward. Samsung has come a long way since the very first Galaxy S I used prior to switching, and this is one of their best designs on my opinion.

Came with dead pixel, otherwise great
Needed a new phone after my last one ran out of security updates. I liked my previous Galaxy S10E and decided to stick to a straight upgrade. Bought on Prime Day for 50 dollars more than the MSRP of the (oversized and lower spec) S23FE.
Unfortunately, it came with a dead pixel from the factory and needed the screen replaced. Warranty covered it, but still sucks that it slipped through QC.
Since getting that sorted, I’m very happy with the phone. Battery life is great, transfer from my previous device was smooth, it seems to run games well if you care about that in a phone,
Only other issue is that it charges very slowly, and my wireless car charger that worked with my S10E’s fast charging is apparently not compatible with the S23’s fast charging. Not sure what changed there. No charger is included.
5 years of security updates should get me well into 2028, by which point the EU’s new rules requiring user-replaceable batteries will have kicked in and affected manufacturing worldwide, so now it’s just a matter of maintaining the battery’s health until B-day.
As of this writing, it’s approximately 2 months to go before the S24 is announced. Unless that phone introduces an unexpected game-changing must-have feature (QI2 magnetic charging is likely, but that doesn’t matter much to me), this one will still serve you extremely well and should easily last until you can (finally!!) get a user-serviceable device again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
I have owned a LOT of different phones and this is by far the BEST EVER. I also run a large cat rescue and need really good photos of them to put online. I have several different expensive Nikon cameras that I always use for photos. This phone takes better photos than ANY of my cameras. I am getting ready to list them for sale and just have a ONE IN ALL great phone. VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER.

Great cell phone that is easy to use. I purchased a returned phone that was like new and saved me hundreds of dollars.

Phone calls not working well
I’m very disappointed that making phone calls constantly have issues with this phone (not able to pick up, hang up etc.). This is perhaps one of the most basic, yet sometimes critical, functionality of a phone, yet Samsung fails it….
