Samsung Galaxy S23

User opinions and reviews

Sort by:

Hi, I am also a new member to the Samsung family and purchased my S23 just a week back. After reading all the comments in this forum I was very sceptical about 6.1 update. So, resisted the temptation and kept myself confined to 6.0 only during the first few days.

But, in some other fora as well as FB/X, found that many people gave positive feedback about this 6.1. Also, Samsung is releasing the update for 21/22 series now which was stopped due to some bugs. Finally, took the courage and updated my phone yesterday.

Honestly speaking, I have not faced a single problem till now. After almost a day's usage, I am getting SOT of around 6 hrs and still 30% of battery is left. And I have not done any factory reset yet. Hope there will not be any battery drain issue in future also.

Sharing with all as I have seen so many negative feedback about 6.1 update by many users. May be I am lucky with this one till now.

    I spoke to an agent on the official Samsung website and told her about the problem my S23 has regarding the battery and overheating after One UI 6.1 and she told me that I have to take my S23 to a service center 😂😂😂 they don't want to admit that this update is causing problems with the s23 series.

            I bought this phone by looking at so much positive reviews regarding battery life. However I am disappointed to see that I have to charge phone twice even with minimal usage i.e. no gaming or video recording. Phone came with one UI 6.1 pre installed 😤

              Get an S22, S22+ or S23+ instead?
              Get a midrange Redmi Note or Poco M or X series?
              Get an old flagship like the OnePlus 10T?
              Get an old Galaxy A35 or A54 instead?

                    Do not update to 6.1
                    I will not update it!

                        Anonymous, 08 May 2024It will survive for 1.5days on heavy usage.Based on Samsung Forums people are not happy. Since the One UI 6.1 update Samsung has inadvertedly introduced a battery bug where it drains fast and doesn't even last the whole day.
                        Even if you do all known battery saving tips under the sun if a bug is present in the OS it doesn't give you that confidence is it?

It's only rated at 3900mAh which albeit the smaller size and Snapdragon chipset may not be enough to stretch it through the whole day?
                            I've probably watched so many battery saving tips that after having the S23 FE and A52s it still couldn't even reach 30% by 7pm. I appreciate the discussion of battery life is very subjective. But i'm not a mobile gamer, streamer, vlogger or use too much productivity in my tiny device but i still find myself longing for better batteries in my devices.

                                Just procured S23 256GB from Samsung Store at 42,239/- INR after exchange of S8.
                                The Phone tends to warm up during photo shoots. Overall a Good Phone.

                                    After the Android 14 update I had about 3 more updates and I have to charge my s23 2 times a day when before it was just one charge. It gets a little hotter and doesn't really tell you how much battery power you consume. Sometimes what updates do is degrade your smartphone. But the rest is fine.

                                        After so many disappointments in choosing my next phone I am planning on getting last year's base Galaxy S23.
                                        Reason for the interest is because of the Snapdragon chipset and the size.
                                        Albeit having a really good older chipset, dimensions and battery capacity do you think the S23's battery is that bad?
                                        Is the screen on time and endurance time really not that good?
