Phone is Fantastic; Exchange and Refund Process is Stinky
Update; Received refund the day after I posted my review. Changed from 3 stars to an 5 star.Ordered this new phone as hubster’s replacement phone. We had been searching for a while for just the right one, has great reviews and a fantastic price. We received the original order quickly, charged it and started the set up. The phone needed a PIN to log in and set up. We thought this was unusual for a new phone. Started a chat session w/Amazon Help Desk and w/in 5 minutes was told that it appeared to have been used by a customer, returned the item and we ended up receiving it in error. We were offered the return option so that we could purchase another one. We initiated the return process and mailed it out the next day. The return message on my Amazon account stated that we would be refunded when they received the device. I have been monitoring my emails and still have not received any notice or tracking info. I checked the tracking number thru UPS and it shows that the device was received 2 days ago. I logged into my Amazon account and the Refund Status shows the same info but I am not scheduled for my $500+ refund until more than 2 weeks away. Why would it take that long and why would they indicate that my refund would be issued upon their receipt? Very frustrating! The new device was easy to set up, long lasting battery, superb camera.

Very nice phone.
This S23FE was a great upgrade from my S9. Easy to import all of my contacts, apps, photo’s & files. It took some time using the smart swith app for Android as I had thousands of photos but was all done in the app. It’s much faster than the S9 but the easy to use of the android system. It is totally unlocked as advertised and connected to the Verizon network right away. FYI: get a new sim card rather than using your old phones existing sim card. The only issue I ran into was by using my S9 sim card it was registered to the old phone and discovered it was in the new S23fe which it didn’t like. It stopped communicating with verizon. The techs at verizon fixed everything quickly and it now works perfectly all at no charge! The camera portion of the phone takes ok selfies and basic photographs. The zoom feature came out a little blurry. Not the best camera setup but the phone/texting and all apps function as desired. All in all I’m totally satisfied with the newest Galaxy model plus saved over $100 by purchasing online. Samsung quality.

Right price, good phone
I like the fast processor and ample room in memory to save pictures and apps. It is a bit heavy and it took a bit to get used to.

Great phone, mostly
This is a relatively high end Android phone, which is what I wanted. All the programs and apps transfered over, but I had to put in many many passwords to get the apps to work. Much of the phone is the same as my previous Android phone, but there are a number of things that work differently, so there has been a learning curve. I quite dislike the ads that keep showing up for various Galaxy apps. They are intrusive. Also, I like to be very organized about my photos, which this phone allows, but even though the old photos are in the Gallery, they don’t show up in the files system.

Excellent device and great deal.
This phone was purchased to replace n LG V35 that the battery was dying on. This Fan Edition phone does not disappoint. Don’t worry that it’s not the absolute newest processor. It is the same one used in last years flagships. This device functions exceptionally well. Super responsive and handles all video and multitasking with ease. Everything works great and the battery lasted all day which I haven’t been able to enjoy in a long time. I also had no issue with the fingerprint scanner after applying a glass screen protector and toggling the switch in settings letting the device know that it has a screen protector. For those of you with AT&T, I was able to pop in my existing sim from family plan and the phone started thinking for a minute and then stated that it was configuring the network. After that it restarted and boom, connected with 5g and all. I got this phone for $599 and it also had a $100 Amazon gift card included as well. Just buy it, you won’t regret it.

Feels Heavy, but solid
It’s heavier and a bit thicker than my Moto G which I had to replace due to broken screen. Wasn’t worth fixing. It feels solid, dropped a couple of times and it survived, thankfully. Picture quality is awesome.Be warned, it does not have a headphone jack. Wish it did so that I could connect it to radios which do not have Bluetooth.Also, could not get the provider I wanted because their system did not have this on approved list yet. Had to choose another provider (Visible by Verizon.) ATT & Verizon recognized it with no issues. But, Spectrum did not (that’s the one I wanted), neither did Metro PCS (T-Mobile), which both companies did sell the exact phone at a higher price, weird.Definitely faster than my old Moto G Stylus (2020), I can browse much easier and faster. And, the apps load up faster. I just think it’s a bit too expensive for what it is.I maybe expecting too much, but battery life seems wanting. I really didn’t put it to a formal test, but during the first days of setting up the phone I had to charge it a lot. Even now, I have to charge it once a day, and I mainly use it for using the apps to do minimal work. So, take my rating on battery life with a grain of a salt.

Bought at great price
And it’s still working fine. No problems.Taking some time to learn the differences between our old android 9 phone and this new Samsung s23 fe.Phone is fast, got the update for Android 14, and the battery charges from 20% to 100% in about an hour.We bought 2 phones on Black Friday’s sale for the $399. sale price.It seems it was basically last years flagship for Samsung with some added perks making it better, then rebranded as this years fe.So for the price it was a good deal.

The cons,… this phone is bigger and heavier than my S8+ that it is replacing. I’ve only had it 2 days so far, so I’m unable to comment on battery life. May update after I’ve used it for a time.

Lo malo es que no viene con el. Cuadrito para cargar, cuando lo vayan a comprar asegúrense que sea de 45 watts ya que si lo cargan con un cargador de menos potencia le durará mucho menos la pila
