Camera too good. Display is dope af. Feels super nice to hold. Flagship experience all around. One small con is the camera arrangement, one below the other, hand touches the cam sometimes, will get used to it in a few days, plus and ultra wont have this issue because the size is bigger I guess. Battery is just decent but still way better than s22. Cam performance drops dramatically indoors or when light is low, even in the morning. Could use night mode to get better pictures. Relies a lot on post processing of the image. Sometimes images feels too HDRish without having hdr turned on. Pretty sure future updates could make the camera much better. In bright light both front and back cameras are amazing. 4k 60fps videos are too fiire, screenshots from video will look as good as standalone images. Ton of detail. Stabilization is excellent. Slo mo is fun too.

Its the apple of android pure premium experience and mesmerizing display.

This is my first flagship Samsung device. Prior to this I was using Samsung A52s. I also have a iphone 13. The size is almost exactly the same. If you examine closely, the body of the S23 feels a bit narrower. In my brief usage I am experiencing some heating but I think it will sort out after a few days. Phone is definitely smooth even though I am restricting usage to lite mode. The haptic feedback is okay but not as remarkable as I was expecting after my usage of Nothing Phone 1 and iphone but its not bad either,I just had more expectation. I have received this phone after exchanging My A52s at ₹15,250/- and the exchange process of Amazon was much easier than what I have experienced with flipkarts exchange. Overall,I am quite satisfied with the purchase.

heating issue is prime, battery drains fast.

I am using Samsung brand more than 10 years and this is first time I see Samsung has improved a lot. No lags, superfast phone, superfast charging, super display, many features, best camera. Thats why I said android iPhone ???? Just one thing battery should be 4500mah for small size S23 that will last long. While using camera, battery drains superfast and mobile temperature goes up and up.

 Wish they made more phones like the s23! For people who like small and sleek phones this is an absolute must have! There will always be something thats a bit off in any premium phones but as far as my recollection for this device, there's nothing such (for me atleast). The design, the camera (AND THE CAMERA PLACEMENTS!!!!!), the processor, the battery, the super fast charging, the ui and everything else about this phone is brilliance in itself. Samsung has really outdone itself in every department here and I love that a big brand really listens and makes devices that cater to an audience. I did not have to think twice before getting this one. Way to go Samsung, you got me hooked!!! Edit: Night photography and astrophotography is just ????

This phone is a pefect upgrade from my old One plus. I had to make a hard choice between s22 and s23. I came to the conclusion that processor used in s22 (Snapdragon 8 gen 1) is inefficient. Infact it was one of the most inefficient processors produced by snapdragon+samsung in last 5 years in premium segment. That combined with low battery was just worse. So I decided to spend more money for this phone. Snapdragon 8 gen 2 is an actual successor of snapdragon and gives enormous battery life. After first charge, I was getting 8 hours SOT. Which is double from my old Oppo Oneplus (Haha). Plus I got upgrade on the first day, using 120 hz refresh rate with light performance mode while battery set to adaptive. I think I can push for 10 hour screen-on-time if I want to. Screen is perfect, samsung right now is the biggest supplier of screens in mobile market, so thats no doubt. Speakers are stereo and have dolby digital mode. The UI is top tier, samsung right now has the best UI in the market. The amazing things is the bloatware are so well integrated into samsung ecosystem that it doesn't even feel like bloatware. I am using samsung internet/notes instead of chrome and google keep. There is also a vapor chamber in base variant of s23, which you will not find in s22. Ram booster was turned on by default, giving me 8 GB of virtual RAM but I turned it off because I heard it reduces performance. All medium-end games run at 120 FPS, and samsung has their own app for real time monitoring. You will also get 6 months spotify premium (from Amazon) and 4 months of youtube premium (from samsung) with this. I use spigen ultra hybrid case with Glazedinc tempered glass. Protip - Glazedinc.com tempered glass is compatiable with fingerprint sensor. I use their s23 tempered glass-real curved which works perfectly and costed me around ₹675 (not sponsored). Phone is expensive and price should be set around 65K, but samsung is trying to become apple of android world. Whats worse is discount is there, but they will not give it to you directly, you have to use 3 different discounts to lower the MRP which is a scummy behaviour from Samsung. No reason to give additional 7K exchange bonus, if MRP itself was lowered by 7K. Also bank credit card discount are insane (around 8K). This will bring MRP in the range of 60K instead of 75K. My point is to give discount directly instead of bypassing it from somewhere. Also availing warranties and sales after service is bad, I still have to manually find out about youtube premium membership because samsung never mentioned it anywhere. So, this is the best phone is premium segment apart from s23 ultra. If you are looking for a handy premium smartphone and can't manage big screen on s23 ultra, this is the way to go. Edit 1. People should not use Samsung Smart switch to restore their data to new phone. I have heard it reduces battery life. Instead manually copy photos, contacts everything etc. Edit 2. Moonshots on higher model i.e. s23 ultra are kinda fake since it uses ai scene optimizer to place a picture of moon on real moon. But nothing to worry about this model. Edit 3. Don't use samsung smart switch to transfer files to your new phone. It is bugged and keeps draining battery. Manually transfer big files. If you had used it, you can factory reset your phone if you notice your battery life is not up to the mark. I didn't use smart switch and easily got 8 hours.
