There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Ordered this new phone as hubster's replacement phone. We had been searching for a while for just the right one, has great reviews and a fantastic price. We received the original order quickly, charged it and started the set up. The phone needed a PIN to log in and set up. We thought this was unusual for a new phone. Started a chat session w/Amazon Help Desk and w/in 5 minutes was told that it appeared to have been used by a customer, returned the item and we ended up receiving it in error. We were offered the return option so that we could purchase another one. We initiated the return process and mailed it out the next day. The return message on my Amazon account stated that we would be refunded when they received the device. I have been monitoring my emails and still have not received any notice or tracking info. I checked the tracking number thru UPS and it shows that the device was received 2 days ago. I logged into my Amazon account and the Refund Status shows the same info but I am not scheduled for my $500+ refund until more than 2 weeks away. Why would it take that long and why would they indicate that my refund would be issued upon their receipt? Very frustrating! The new device was easy to set up, long lasting battery, superb camera.
Beautiful classic design, dual-glass, IP68-rated.
Fast OLED screen, decent brightness, great color accuracy, HDR10+.
Very good stereo speakers.
Flagship-grade performance.
Reliable camera quality across the board.
Cons
It's closer related to S22 than S23

Battery life could be better
One drawback this phone has is battery life. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor is power hungry. The battery, while theoretically big, is quickly depleted. I mostly use my phone for navigation (Android Auto wireless), YouTube video playback, browsing on Edge, or social media chatting. My Screen on Time (SoT) life is expected to be 7 hours when fully charged according to AccuBattery Pro app I installed since day one of owning this phone. That is my usage without gaming ever. Expect the battery life to go down to around 4 hours or even less if you game because gaming is extremely taxing on your phone. It also heats up quite quickly, probably because it's drawing a bit too much power than it should have (inefficient CPU / GPU). One solution I have working for me is by activating Light performance profile under Device Care settings. This decrease the performance unless you're gaming. For my use case, it's perfect because it doesn't overheat anymore. That 7 hours SoT figure is with this profile turned on. Expect it to be around 5.5 to 6 hours SoT without this on.
So about me dropping the phone, it was when I was changing my car's tires. I was crouching, so when it fell, it was about 12 inches high. The floor was concrete, and it was not clean. This is the worst combination because dust and debris are really abrasive and can easily put lots of dents and scratches on phone. Surprisingly, other than two scratches (one big, and one small), there's really no other damage. I was using matte screen protector at that time, so when it ended up falling screen down, it did crack the screen protector, but the screen remains flawless to this day. I assumed it fell by its side frame (charging port side), then it fell face down. I did attach the photo so you can judge the amount of damage done by this accident.

The phone comes with a SIM slot key and a C-to-C cable. However, I'm not sure if it has an expandable memory slot. At the moment, it doesn't seem to have a keyhole for the memory slot, but it does have one for the SIM slot. I also purchased a protective case separately, which is clear, decent, and fits well in my hand and pocket. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a high-quality device at a reasonable price.
