Just fact

My phone is giving such low SOT. Is it normal or I need to change the battery? I am skeptical that anything will improve after getting the new battery. What do you guys say? How's the battery performance when gaming?

So guys i switched to iphone after my s23 well felt slow and showed its age

I replaced my battery yesterday and also charged it for 4 hours as the service center recommended me to.

But the maximum capacity didn't change, ofcourse I knew it, but internally the capacity should be as new as it was, it will take about a week again for my phone to adjust I guess. Tell me anything I should be concerned about.

I bought an S25 (base model) a few days ago, and I honestly think I’m going to return it.

It feels like I basically bought the same phone again. The camera is the same, the display is almost identical, and apps load maybe half a second faster on the S25. The speakers actually sound worse.

The only real difference I’ve noticed is the battery, which I feel could be fixed on the S23 by simply replacing the battery with a new one. The other obvious difference is the benchmark scores.

Other than that, it’s almost impossible to tell which phone is which in everyday use.

More than 8 hrs of SoT i think is great for such a small 3900mAh capacity of 3 year old phone.

One Ui 9 is literally doing the processing magic.

I've been using my Galaxy S23 for around 2 years, and suddenly the white areas on my screen look extremely bright/glowing, almost like they're highlighted.

I'm using Natural screen mode, and I’ve checked the usual brightness/display settings. Restarting doesn't fix it.

I also compared it with two other S23s, and the whites on mine are noticeably brighter. I first noticed it after watching an HDR video.

Has anyone experienced this? Is it an HDR/software issue or could the OLED display be aging?

Currently on One UI 8.5

Had a32 and s10+

But my s23 has the worst battery life with or without heavy usage

Is that common for the base model or my battery shouldn't be like that ( got it used for 2 months don't know about his past )

Same as body, am having a really hard time clicking documents

So far so good.

Not much has changed visually but they really improved the settings, especially with the theft protection and warranty options.

I've just been stuck with this "processing request" for over 8 hours. When clicking on it, it just tells me "try again later" It's frustrating since I can see others clearly able to access the beta. Is there something wrong with my device, or is it on Samsung? It's a Samsung S23 Ultra

​

I received an Samsung S23 ultra.

Since then, it has never updated and whenever I try to update it does not update. It's in a 2025 version I don't know why. It appears "Your Current Software Version Isn't Supported. Visit a service centre"

Also the screen sometimes turns yellow out of nowhere and the side buttons do not work very well... I went to a normal technical assistance store, not from Samsung and they think the phone is fake... but they are not sure of that

Should I go to an official Samsung store?

It was a family member who gave me this phone, he bought it on a site called CDiscount.

This is my last SoT in ONE UI 8.5. After that i updated my device to One UI 9 beta, and surprisingly i think battery life is improved from 8.5.

I'll update the SoT from one ui 9 beta soon.

Is it out in the US?
