Works And Plays As Hard As You Do
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A good phone that does exactly what I need it to when I need it done. I've owned this model for several approximately 8 months now. I've traveled to Europe and Africa, and around the US with this device and it has worked like a champ the whole time. The digital SIMs make travelling abroad a snap. The battery life has been great - even while using it to navigate all day in 115 degree temperatures without access to a charger. The pictures are gorgeous. The phone size fits nicely in my small hands and my pants pockets. The screen is easy to see in most lighting, although the desert sun was a bit harsh on eyes and screens. The water/dust resistance claims have been thoroughly tested (on accident). The phone has survived a drop in shallow water, dog slobber, and salt/sand while surf fishing. As you can tell, I don't coddle my devices...they go where I go, and if they are sturdy enough I have to find one that is. All-in-all I've really enjoyed this phone.

Good performance. Battery performance we'll see.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good phone. Still getting used to since I upgraded from. Motorola G7Play. My last galaxy phone was the S4. Prev. phones S3, Moto G5+, various non-smart phones. I like the cameras. Lots of apps. Wish samsung in google would allow some deleting of the ones that are permanent. Has a lot grouped into one. Open box excellent condition. Kohler WI store. Came w/fast charge USB-C to USB-C 60W cable(aftermarket) & USB 5W Insignia charger does not match cable to plug in. Noticed when I went to T-mobile for sim swap. Granted I paid about $200 for the phone. I should have gone back before driving back to Milwaukee. Phone is still learning my habits so I don't know if I'll be able to get a full day's charge out of it. Especially if I set it up to only 80%to help the long term life of the battery. I noticed it had the weather for Washington D.C. so it must have been a return. Good service over all at the Kohler store. Though I would have liked a little more guidance and explanation on the cases.And screen protectors other than 'whatever I want'. Based on GSMArena & CU Reports batt. should be somewhat better then Google Pixels. I still have to learn more features like AI. & set up rest of Samsung/Knox features. I still appreciate the phone and Best Buy service(thanks to Rod,etc). Thank God.

Samsung lover!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Updated this phone from the S22. Better battery and faster processor! I was going to buy the S23 Plus because of the bigger battery for Doordash but 3900 mah is more than enough! Pair it as always with the Otterbox commuter series

My bf wanted me to try out an android phone since I’ve only used apple and it’s cool. Was at a concert and this phone took better pictures than iPhone users so that’s cool. I guess I’m not mad at it. This case is from velvet caviar.

Q: QuestionWhat type of adapter, and where can I buy one, to charge my phone? I know they have done away with putting charging bricks in box but in my box I have a short cord without a usb-c on one end.
Asked by Nancy.
- A:Answer They have plenty at Best Buy, where i bought the phone. After the phone itself, there were 3-4 add-ons that are not included and will add up to $100, mainly so you can't continue to use things you bought for your last phone.
Answered by Boompa
Q: QuestionMaybe I am missing something so someone please explain it to me. As of this question the price is 599.99 if I "Activate Today". If I "Activate Later" is is 799.99 yet the prices are different if I use a major carrier. What am I missing. Seems misleading.
Asked by Petew.
- A:Answer The activate today prices only apply to certain plans from certain carriers. Yes, it's misleading.

Q: QuestionI know the charging brick doesn't come with the new phones but does the charging cord come with the S23? I have an old charging cord and brick from a S7. Will either one of those work on the S23? If not how expensive are the ones that do work with it?
Asked by Charging.
- A:Answer The S7 cord will not work with this phone as it has a USB type C. You will need the charging brick to plug into a wall. Or you can purchase a USB-A to USB-C cable (I like Belkin) to charge in your car or from your computer.
