Samsung S23 - Good Phone, just not great, and has issues that should have been resolved.
After reading all of the rating and reviews for the latest Samsung S23, S24, and S25 phones, I chose the S23 simply based upon the ratings and how stable it was. However, with that said, this phone is neither stable, or turning out to e a good value. It is running on the latest Version of firmware available for this model, however, I constantly have screen locks, system locks, and apps crashing and closing without notice or posting and error. With that said, I do understand that what I am experiencing is considerably better than what S24 and S25 owners are reporting.
These software issues should have been resolved by Samsung before releasing this model to the public. Just makes me that much more hesitant when purchasing Samsung products. Calling Samsung is of no help either, because I did not purchase either, directly from them, or from my Mobile carrier. So, that is a major set back and should be one of your considerations, if you are interested in this product purchased in this manner.
The good points are few, but should also be mentioned:
1). The camera quality is very good, even when I zoom in.
2). The phone voice quality is much better than my previous Samsung models.
3). So far, the battery life seems pretty good, but not great. For what I use it for, and that is mainly for Traveling using Maps, speaker phone calls, and tracking my exercises and workouts, it will only last about 10 hours before needing a charge.
4). Touch Screen sensitivity is much better and more adjustable than my previous Samsung phones, for which, I am very pleased.
