What everyone is thinking of upgrading their s23 to? Or the ones already upgraded which phone did you go for?

I love my s23 but it is started to show it's age. I thought of upgrading to s25 but it is basically the same device really.

What other good alternatives out there that are not Samsung but just as good?

Purchased this phone on the launch date, my first ever flagship device (S23 Plus 512GB)

But now I'm just fed up, it's been 3 years and it has already gone down pretty bad.

I will admit my usage has been heavy throughout, gaming, editing, but you pay so much so that you enjoy using it as you want, for atleast 4-5 years.

My last phone OnePlus 6t lasted so long, and even at the end it is smooth and feels so premium and snappy (my relative is still using it)

And recently the green line appeared out of nowhere, the whole experience on this phone doesn't feel premium at all now and I think this has been deliberately done by Samsung to force users to switch. My camera has degraded alot after the recent major update, the battery barley survives half a day. It has gotten boring tbh.

I have looked over options in the market right now, and was leaning towards the Find X9 Ultra to actually feel the money spent and my plan is to have the device with me for atleast 4-5 years.

I checked the stores, I really loved the Vivo's camera interface, but Oppo's UI experience was really good and better than Vivo (x300 ultra)

But lately I have gotten really mixed reviews regarding these two beasts. Inconsistency issues, fogging issues, heat management. Samsung's devices aren't really worth upgrading to and I don't plan to switch to iOS anytime in the future. OnePlus is going away. What to buy? Or should I wait. Really need some help here.

I'm looking to upgrade from my S23 to a newer phone..not really interested in the current S Series line up..Thinking to switch to an iPhone...Will I be able to survive on an iPhone

Hello guys,

My S23 256GB variant recently died on me while I was scrolling through Amazon app. CPU reballing was done on it due to which it is alive now...working normally...no overheating or performance issues observed. The technician gave me 1month of warranty for the repair and advised to to take back of the data and exchange it for a new one since there is no guarantee for this phone anymore. It can die anytime.

My question is If anyone else have already done this...how long did it last for you and would you suggest keeping the phone or exchanging it.

my 1.5 year old s23 went from 60 percent to zero and aint starting its showing black screen with charging symbol and aint starting? Anyone faced same issue If yes, then what was the solution and expense

Yea, sometimes it won't let me answer or decline calls, it shows that I am being called in the upper left corner of my screen, but it will not let me answer or decline, how do I fix this?

As the title says, apps do not update anymore. Because of it I'm blocked outside of a bank account unless I update their 2 factor authenticator. I've tried to update just the required app, a few at once or all of them at once. In each scenario apps remain stuck in "pending..." like this:

Got the green line thinking to replace the phone with S25 will they replace or they only replace the screen. I have been using since 2024 so they will replace free of cost but thinking to change the phone itself ! Any chances that i get to replace the phone with another ?

I was shooting some photos, and when i was close of some papers, i notice some "blurs", and i don't know if this is the Banana blur/gate

If someone notice something or its normal, any advice will be appreciated, sorry for the bad english.

(I think it's more visible when is close to the object, but idk if is a problem or normal).

My galaxy s23 shows a jitter or small lag when pulling down the notification panel then doesn't after that and also it heats alot and it sometimes shoes some jitters lags in like small things like going back notification panel etc how can I fix both ? And get rid of that tiny lag and overheating while gaming to? Also I'm new to Samsung so how can I get the best efficiency battery and performance at the same time? Can anyone guide me about the lag fix

Hi all, my Samsung Galaxy s23 5G battery is getting worst day by day and I am so frustrated with this, it is very very good phone I love it I don't wants to change it, is there anything attachable for this particular phone available which can increase its battery, because previously I have seen somewhere for iPhone where big back cover like attachment was there which includes battery in it and eventually increased battery size.

i debloated my phone with canta and shizuku.

but since they changed how the phone is updating, put a completely useless screen to it with fancy colors and stuff, putting things in between easy going just makes things so much more harder for really no reason at all.

as soon as i open the update menu it says connecting to service.... error connection not possible.

even i tried to put stuff back what could be related to that issue, it doesn't work.

is there another way to update a phone or do we have to swallow as anything else they give us?

Chat I cant find the "scene optimizer" in settings

The photos are so trash now

The game booster on my s23 keeps crashing mid game causing very bad frame drops and lag . This started after the one ui 8.5 update . Tried clearing cache and data but didnt work🥀😭

For those guys who replaced their battery already, did you feel the difference? Or is it just the same screen on time you are getting? Can you share your experiences? Thank you!

Is it accurate to how someone is looking like? I look really different in front camera's vids/pics compared to how I look in mirrors

My body looks wider and really different, some places is less curvy for example

Even my face looks weird in full body pics /:

Is this normal? I can't decide if this is actually how I look like or my front camera isn't the best for full body pics or I'm just bad at filming myself?

The price difference isn't much (for some reason cheaper than the S24). Which one do you think is worth it? I'm looking for performance and fewer problems. Honestly, I'm worried about overheating and battery life. Any advice?

Did anyone else get a green or pink line after their device display was replaced for the same problem?

hey everyone i am looking to purchase a phone from the Galaxy S23 series i prefer a larger display for media consumption and social media but I am torn between the S23 Plus and the S23 Ultra regarding their design language, form factor, and overall aesthetic what should i choose if i prefer the feminine phone aesthetic vibes?

It has been a while since my s23 (of 2 years) has been crashing a lot, in addition recently he started delaying videos on any social network (Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, etc.).

I have already restarted, cleared the cache and nothing works, any tips on how you can improve or the best option is to buy another one?

I am experiencing significant battery degradation, requiring me to charge my phone three-four times daily after the last update. Are other users encountering similar issues, or is this indicative of a problem with my specific device's battery?

I'm in an older car which has an aux port, no USB or Bluetooth. I'm using a USB to 3.5mm adapter which does great for getting the music to the car, but I have to disconnect it anytime I want to use voice to text or answer a phone call.

Is there any way to activate the device mic when USB is active?

I have GoodLock installed for some other stuff, I haven't had a chance to dive into that and see if that had an option

So last night my phone turned off, at first I thought it was random because I thought it had battery still but later assumed it was dead because it wouldn't turn on.

Put it on charge and was met with the lightning bolt in the white circle in the centre of the screen, thought okay phones dead I'll leave it a while...2 hours later, still the same. This morning I tried again and I tried to do a restart by holding power and vol down, screen went black and the same thing appeared.

I then plugged it into my laptop to get into recovery mode using power and vol up, got a bright blue screen and only option it had was hold vol down and power for 7 seconds...I did that, screen went black and then still nothing. After doing this I tried to put it on charge again, but now I get nothing on the display at all and it keeps doing these little vibrates every few seconds and they dont stop...

Sorry for the long ness of the post but what the hell is going on? I've searched everywhere and cannot find a solution. Do I need a new battery or something?
