    I was skeptical at first, I had been a IPhone user for many years and I did not know what I was missing. Battery last too long and it doesn’t overheat in your hands!!! No risk at all. Camera is much better with this Galaxy S23. I am glad I decided to change, I don’t regret it at all.

    This new Samsung Galaxy S23 is awesome - love the size! Samsung thought of every option imaginable. I love that I got the 256 GB option - worth the small amount extra.

    Have always been an Android user, but hardly used a Samsung phone before.. Pleasantly surprised with the performance, even after a year of use.. hardly any lag even under heavy usage.. Multi-tasking with office apps has never been so easy and fast... Cool and interesting features such as setting up rule based Modes and routines.. Google assistant is a home run with Android auto and connected devices at home..

    Overall, it is a good phone, fast snappy, and happy that it does not get warm after long gaming sessions. I just wish the charging speeds were a bit more.

    I chose the Samsung S23 to replace my Galaxy S9. My favorite feature is the ability to schedule text messages to transmit for later date and specific time. This is located in the "+" > area before the message entry spot of texting. Now, i do not waken family members or co-workers when i have an after midnight message. Try it!

    Samsung Galaxy S23 Delivers A Premium Experience

    I recently had the pleasure of purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S23 256GB Phantom Black from Best Buy, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From design to performance, this smartphone is a true flagship contender. The sleek Phantom Black finish immediately caught my eye, exuding a sense of sophistication and modernity. The device feels comfortable in hand, and the build quality is exceptional. The expansive 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display delivers vivid colors and sharp details, making media consumption and gaming a delightful experience. Under the hood, the Galaxy S23 is a powerhouse. Its blazing-fast processor, coupled with 8GB of RAM, ensures seamless multitasking and smooth app performance. I've been able to switch between apps, stream high-definition content, and run demanding games without a hitch. The 256GB of internal storage offers ample space for my media library and apps, reducing the need to constantly manage storage. The camera system on the Galaxy S23 is another standout feature. The quad-lens setup captures stunning photos with impressive clarity and color accuracy. Whether it's a well-lit landscape or a dimly lit indoor scene, the camera adapts beautifully and produces Instagram-worthy shots. The 64MP main sensor is particularly impressive, delivering sharpness and detail that rivals dedicated digital cameras. One of the aspects I appreciate the most is the battery life. The 4500mAh battery easily lasts me throughout the day, even with heavy usage. The inclusion of fast charging and wireless charging capabilities adds to the convenience, ensuring I can quickly top up the battery when needed. The software experience is intuitive and user-friendly, with Samsung's One UI providing a clean and customizable interface. The device also includes the latest security features, keeping my data safe and secure. While the Samsung Galaxy S23 comes with a higher price tag, the value it offers is well worth the investment. Its premium design, top-notch performance, impressive camera capabilities, and reliable battery life make it a true flagship contender in the competitive smartphone market. In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy S23 256GB Phantom Black has truly impressed me with its outstanding features and performance. If you're in the market for a high-end smartphone that delivers on all fronts, the Galaxy S23 is an excellent choice. My experience with this device has been nothing short of exceptional, and I have no doubt that it will continue to provide a top-tier smartphone experience for years to come.

    Excellent build quality and feel. Great size, fits in most pockets easily. Very fast and responsive. Battery life, so far has been great. Probably more phone than I need, but was an excellent buy. recommend the 256gb storage.

    I chose the S23 because it was the closest in size to my S10e. I take tons of photos and REALLY wanted the S23 Ultra for the amazing camera, but I couldn't get past the size for day-to-day use. Really liking the S23 so far; it's faster, not as buggy, and does have a nicer camera with 3x optical zoom. Great battery life.

    I am moving from an Iphone, which I gave to my wife. It took a while to learn how to use it (must have 200 or more settings). Now that I'm more skilled in its use, I am really liking its speed, great camera, and intuitive offerings. Also, I believe it has an excellent modem, so it works well in marginal areas (like ours - very fringe coverage). These phones are expensive, but if you are not "phone hopping," I think this is a worthwhile investment.

    Has amazing battery life especially for a relatively small phone: most days I'd have to try to get below 40% percent. Performance is excellent. Camera could be slightly better, especially for moving objects but nothing to complain that much about.

    The Samsung Galaxy 23 is a great small phone that cutted some corners but still delivers quality. The 23 is a big improvement from the s22 in battery life and performance.
