This is my first Samsung, (23FE) I have always had iPhones. I was tempted into one because of the superior camera, by sales staff. I wish I had stuck to Apple. Whilst I know a new system is a learning curve, it’s confusing in every single way, from the camera, what the heck are the numbers on the the screen looking through the view finder for? Even the safari equivalent is clunky and how do I delete emails again? Absolutely zero guidance from ee store. I hope my experience improves with time, otherwise I will have a miserable few years…..until I can afford a new iPhone. I’m grateful I own a mini iPad where I can complete some essential work.

I think for the price it's ok ish. Performance wise, it runs smooth so far, I enjoyed using it, good picture and sound, I like the functions for editing the photos, but the battery is the main issue for me it just drain so fast. I admit that I am a heavy user, I have to recharge the phone at least twice a day. As Samsung suggested that to protect the battery, I charged it to 85% most of the time. Other thing is the storage, I have the 256g version, there is no sd card slot which is not very convenience. You have to pay higher price for more storage. Also, you cannot use wired ear-plug which is a bit of annoying. Not everyone like wireless ear-plug.
I recommended this product.
It's great to see that you are enjoying the performance, picture, sound, and photo editing options available on your S23 FE! The Exynos 2200 processor runs this phone like a dream, while the 6.4" Dynamic AMOLED 2X display provides a truly immersive experience in combination with the crystal clear sound. While there isn't an SD card slot in this device, the 256 GB of base memory provides you with a large amount of space, which can also be supported with the use of Cloud storage. You won't ever have to choose between a new app and storing your files again! This handy link runs through all the different storage options available to you: https://spr.ly/6424sHNUq The Bluetooth connectivity provides the ability to connect your favourite Bluetooth headphones, however, it's also possible to get USB-C headphones, or a USB-C adapter for your 3.5 mm jack headphones, if you prefer a wired option. This phone has an unbelievable 4500 mAh battery, which is capable of up to 19 hours of Internet usage time (LTE) on one charge, so we certainly wouldn't expect you to experience any issues with battery life. Please check out the following link for tips to ensure that you get the most out of your device's battery: https://spr.ly/6426sHNUs If you are still concerned about the battery life you are getting from your phone after following the above guidance, please don't worry, we're here to help.

I have always stuck to another well-known brand so I was a little hesitant to change to the Samsung but I was intrigued by the prospect and thought I could give it a thorough test and give my thoughts. Wow I am totally blown away by the quality of this phone. The apps are great and the phone is very user friendly. It was simple to setup and I love this phone now. I won’t be going back to my previous brand. The camera picture quality is great and easy to use also. The pairing the buds I got as part of this trial was also simple and work great. The sound quality is great. The phone is very stylish and looks great. I am a converted user of Samsung now.
Thank you for choosing Samsung, and welcome to the Samsung family! We're so happy to see the Galaxy S23 FE has blown you away! The display is perfect, whether you're gaming, watching films or simply browsing the internet! The camera is great for luscious landscapes or detailed close-ups too! There are plenty off apps available too and now with Galaxy AI, your day is made that little bit easier with features such as Circle to Search or summarising websites in an instant! We pride ourselves on intuitive and easy to use software, and we're glad to see you agree and that pairing your Buds was simple and easy! Many thanks for the five stars! ^CH at Samsung Support
Battery life is really bad, I'm not on my phone alot as I've logged that to check (average use on apps 1-2 hours) as I cant use my phone apart from on my lunchbreak for half hour. If I charge overnight too 100% in the morning by the next evening I am always less than 20% sometimes empty before I even go to bed. My partner has a s23 ultra and he does not have this problem with samsung. Also fingerprint does not work to access any app...I've tried re setting and scanning a couple of times but still won't work to open anything. General display etc is ok but nothing outnof the ordinary. I genuinely am disappointed with my move to samsung from another Android device.
Thank you for taking the time to share with us this review about your Galaxy S23 FE, Bek. We are sorry to read that, while you think the quality of the display is acceptable, you are not happy with the phone overall because you have noticed the battery drains quickly, and because you have been struggling to use your fingerprint to access your applications. It is also our understanding that your partner, who owns a Galaxy S23 Ultra, is not experiencing these issues, and from our end we would like to reassure you that we are ready to offer you full support with this. Please follow this link, where you can find a useful guide about how to keep the battery of your phone always optimised for the best performance in the short and long-term: https://spr.ly/6429YUUXc On this other link, you can find another useful guide about how to register your fingerprint and use the fingerprint scanner correctly for the best experience: https://spr.ly/6421YUUXl Please also note that, if you can use the fingerprint sensor to unlock your device without any issue, but you are struggling with a specific app, the issue is likely to lie with the apps itself.

I received my Samsung s23 fe in mint a few days ago. First impressions are good. The box had just the phone and charger cable inside which is fine as I have a plug already. The phone seems a lot heavier than my previous phone. Set up was quick and easy. The phone screen is large and responds really well. Videos and photos seem to be of a high quality and the colours look bright and vibrant. The battery is lasting well and the phone charges quickly. Pros at the moment seem to be speed of completing tasks such as opening webpages and apps and definitely the camera and battery life. Cons are the weight of the phone

Had time to sit and get to grips with this phone, initial impression is it's a really nice phone, feels really nice in the hand. The screen is really really nice, crisp and bright, the case feels like a really nice quality piece of tech. Feels really snappy compared to the speed of my old phone. It has a bigger screen than my old one phone but that's not a problem as its not huge but a good usable size. Would definitely recommend depending on whether you want to play games in which case maybe wait for the S24's to be released and buy the S23 pro or one of the other S23 phones. Will update as I get to use it more.
We’re thrilled to hear your thoughts and feedback, thanks for sharing with us and giving us top marks, Sean! ^CR at Samsung Support
Same as the S20FE it replaced. Other than a better camera I haven't noticed any other difference except for the battery sometimes draining more quickly. I only replaced the S20 to continue to receive OS and software updates. Because the Samsung process to migrate from one phone to another is so easy and quick I actually couldn't really tell the new phone from the old one because everything was in the same place, same folders, same screens. I think only the wallpaper was different. I'm not a power user so the S23FE offers more than I need but it's reliable and I like the fact I get regular security updates.
I recommended this product.

It was set up I'm Notice.i went out a wander to try the camera out and I'm impressed.. Texting ect is the same.all my app installed, it's do easy to use, I'm happy I don't have to carry a camera when I want to take pics on my travels as iv got what I need with my new phone.

The Galaxy S23 FE arrived really quickly. The unboxing experience was nothing special, of course, as companies are now withdrawing from packing the box with goodies.. What surprised me upon unboxing was the beautiful design and after turning it on the beautiful, bright and sharp display. Samsung doesn’t disappoint. The performance of the phone is well above average, it is not a flagship, but does the job. Next thing, the camera. Very nice photos, sharp and vibrant.. Low light photos are good as well. Battery in this baby lasts long enough to use it all day with no problem. Overall, this phone is a great option for everyday use with some powerful features you may want from time to time.
We're over the moon to see you're loving the Galaxy S23 FE! The design is indeed sleek and beautiful, with an amazing display, perfect for watching films or playing games! The processor is fast enough to handle any app and can multitask with ease! The camera is great for luscious landscapes or detailed close-ups and look stunning on the vibrant screen! The battery is long-lasting and can go a full day on a single charge and with Super Fast Charging, you're back to full in no time! The inclusion of Galaxy AI is the icing on the cake, allowing you to Circle to Search or summarise websites easily, making your day that little bit easier. Many thanks for the five stars! ^CH at Samsung Support

Quality of the phone is noticed the moment you pick up the device. It is heavy. To me the heavier their phone, the more premium it feels. And this is the case with the S23 FE, feels good in the hand, decent processor to get around things snappy! the camera is not bad for the price point, but nothing special. good point and shoot camera. the 256GB memory options a no brainer, ample storage and seems like you will never run out. its a nice sized phone 6.4'' screen feels compact in the hand and pocket, the fact you can record 8K at 24 FPS is pretty insane, and the cream colour for me looks the best!
Generally Phone OK, but heats up quickly after making just 1 call and not having many apps open. Taken to samsung, run checks and did something to reduce heating up. Unfortunately, now on 3rd week of using and the phone is still heating up quickly. Not as hot previously but enough to notice the not normal heating up than all the previous phones used. Slightly worried of radiation this may be releasing. Sadly, due to this not using the phone too much for other stuffs such as listening to music on the go or talking on the phone for too long. Not too happy with the phone for this reason.

The box comes with a charging cable but no plug although that seems standard these days. Set uo was very easy and quick which i liked. The screen is very big and vibrant and very responsive to touch. The metal frame looks stunning and ensures its durable. the monkey glass gives me confidence itll withstand any drops. Its quick to move between apps and load websites. large storage capacity means i wont run out of space as i have a lot of apps and take loads of photos! Whilst on the subject off the camera the photo quality is perfect at 50mbp! It also takes brilliant night shots.
We're so happy to see you're loving the Galaxy S23 FE! It is indeed a very sleek and beautiful phone, packed with great features! The display is stunning, perfect for playing games, watching films or looking back on photos taken with the amazing camera! The processor is speedy, allowing you to multitask with ease, and it can handle any app you care to mention! Gorilla Glass is the icing on the cake, giving you peace of mind! Many thanks for the five stars! ^CH at Samsung Support

I love my phone, usually I have older models after my husband, this year I do it gift 🎁 for myself and I have lovely new phone. I love new technology and I'm so happy I can test this wonderful phone and the quality of photos from the front camera is amazing. The battery withstands my constant use of the phone and lasts for two days😁 it has many new functions such as eye protection, and thanks to the large screen you can enjoy excellent image quality. In other smaller models I had problems with typing because the keyboard blurred with longer fingernails. call and sound quality is like music to my ears. I can finally use my phone and I don't need a tablet. I'm add a pic from front camera Hope you enjoyed with me 😆
Thank you so much, Sandra, for taking the time to share your insight with us! We are overjoyed to see that the Galaxy S23 FE has left you with that five-star feeling!

Hopefully short and concise! I'm not a heavyweight phone user... I don't use social media but use email and browsing quite extensively. I like the larger, brighter screen over my old phone. The weight doesn't bother me and the battery, after a little tweaking, easily holds up for my user day - 6AM till 11PM. Wish it had UWB, an SD slot and the toughest Gorilla glass and aluminium frame though. Cost was an issue for me but in all fairness I think the S23FE is reasonably priced and a very capable mobile and it performs well with all that I ask of it.
I recommended this product.
I treated my friend to the S23 FE for their birthday (they had the S20 FE prior). For a mid-range phone they are really happy with it - it has paired nicely with the Galaxy Buds FE and the Tips app has helped them navigate the phone when they’ve wondered how certain things work. The photos and videos they’ve captured look great. Just the right amount of detail without being overly saturated and processed unlike some smartphones out there (including mine!) Overall if you’d like a newer phone but not a flagship the S23 FE could be the phone for you.
I recommended this product.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Neils! We are thrilled to see how happy your friend is with their new S23 FE! The spectacular camera features, incredible performance, stunning display and wide range of compatible apps, make the S23 FE a dream to use, and paired with the Buds FE, it's perfect for streaming, gaming and so much more! We all need friends like you! ^CR at Samsung Support

A smart, stylish device with impressive features. The ability to charge my smart watch directly from the device makes is super convenient whilst on the move. The screen size, picture quality and inbuilt speakers make it an ideal option for the streaming services I subscribe too. The camera is exceptional especially in low light environments. The 256GB internal storage / memory capacity is perfect for capturing high quality videos and storing my portfolio of music files. In short, I would recommend this device to my friends and family.
Thank you for your five-star review, we hope you’re still in love with your S23 FE, as much as you were the day you bought it! ^CR at Samsung Support

I always used to own Galaxy's... And after a few years off, it's been great to have one in my hands again. Stunning phone. Good size -not too big, lovely metallic body too. I was pleasantly surprised how easy data transfer was - never have I done that so easily! Gone are the lengthy days and hassle of that, I just had my old phone nearby and everything I wanted / needed copied wirelessly in a very fast time! Effortless. Awesome camera- something that's a must for me. And the camera zoom range goes from an impressive 0.6x all the way up to 30x! 8k video too! I would appreciate an external memory slot that it doesn't have , but it does boast a 256GB memory so I can't complain too much, will hold a huge amount of apps and photos before I manage to fill it !
It's fantastic to have you back in our Galaxy, and we're delighted to see that your S23FE gave you a superb reintroduction into everything that you can expect from our range. It's not only gorgeous to look at but also feels comfortable to hold, so you'll be happy to have it in your hand at all times. We do understand how important it is to keep your data and memories, which is why we make it as easy as simple as possible to transfer it all across to a new device. The pro-grade camera has all the tech and features that you'd want to capture many more stunning memories to cherish forever, and we're sure you've been reaping the benefits of this throughout the year. While there isn't a slot for a SD card, there are plenty of online storage options available, which will prove to be even more challenging to fill! ^DB at Samsung Support

This phone is great. Very easy setup process. It takes only about 10 minutes to copy all my apps and files from my old phone using Samsung app. Apps open very fast and works perfect. Screen is amazing, bright and colourful. Photo camera is excellent, photos are sharps, colourful and looks like real. Very easy to connect with other smart devices like earbuds or smart watch. Battery is good and charge fast. Unfortunately there is no screen protector and no any phone cover and of course no charger. Anyway this is very good phone.
It's great to see how much you are enjoying your S23 FE, Tom! The easy set up that Smart Switch offers allows you to quickly transfer your data over to your new phone and hit the ground running. You will immediately be able to experience the smooth and speedy operation of the Samsung Exynos 2200 processor, which can handle any task you throw its way with ease. The beautifully clear Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen is the perfect place to display the amazingly detailed photos that you take with the high resolution camera, comprised of 3 lenses which lend themselves to different situations, ensuring that you always have the right kit for the job. This model loves working in a team, so connectivity with other devices is flawless. Such fantastic features need to be supported by a powerful battery and this phone delivers, with a whopping 4500 mAh battery which can give you up to 20 hours of Internet usage time on just one charge! The items included in the box reflect our commitment to the environment, and reducing the amount of e-waste we contribute to. We would always recommend checking the 'What's in the box' section on the purchase page to ensure that you can be prepared for your phone's arrival. With so many magnificent features we're sure that this phone will continue to wow you for years to come! ^SK at Samsung Support

I needed an upgrade for quite some time now and I was looking at different options for great features and but a budget friendly phone, and Man o man, when I finally bought this phone, I made the best decision. The camera quality is good considering the price I paid, the battery is okay, the display colours are premium quality , nothing that you can’t except from Samsung. And the phone is fast which was my main concern from the start. I am happy with the purchase. So if you are looking for a budget friendly, quality product this is it. The speaker are good too. Design wise, loved the curved design, and the glass looks expensive. My daughter dropped it from first floor and nothing happened to the phone, which amazed me with the quality, so happy with my purchase.

I am super user for technical products , But I was so impressed from this phone since I have opened the box from 2 days ,meeting all of these options with this budget is a very challenging equation[There's a capable processor with a healthy 8GB of RAM, a big screen, a dedicated telephoto lens, full IP68 water and dust resistance, wireless charging], but Android 14 achieves my basis requirements of this phone, I was surprised from the battery performance while using the phone in calls, internet ,shooting and return back home with plenty of charge and connected the phone to the charger at the end of the day, the only issue I am having with the phone now that I am afraid from durability because of the price, but I will give it a time as the phone energised me to test.
Really happy with my new phone. I previously had the flip z 3 and I just wanted to get a sturdier phone. The S23 FE is perfect hand size and has a good height for me. There is plenty of storage, and the phone is fast. I have not had any issues since I got the phone a month ago. It has a really nice high quality feel. I love the online exclusive indigo colour and I also was very happy with the buds I received as a part of the deal. I have already paid the phone off, really great value for money and the camera is great.
I recommended this product.

Picture quality is shocking compared to my old s10 lite. Contacted Vodafone to say I wasn't happy and possible return, I was unable to as I was out of the country in the time frame and wasnt very helpful, so now stuck with a phone with awful picture quality for 3 years. I upgraded my phone for my holiday as my old s10 had lost all good qualities and specifically asked for a phone with good camera which isn't the s23. Pixels are awful, pictures aren't clear unless you're close to the object....landscapes are fuzzy. Can't wait to get rid of it already - phone freezes a lot...loses connections to WiFi all over the place....wish I would of kept my old phone until the end of my contact in September 24. Also since upgrading my phone by broadband has gone shocking!!! Doesn't connect etc

I absolutely love this phone, I upgraded my mom phone from a galaxy S20 fe to the S23 fe and am glad I did. The camera is better even in low light, it's a good size screen and feels very sturdy. The battery is great, sound quality is very good and signal strength is good. This phone is not a lightweight phone. Not too heavy though. The pics you can get w this are awesome. I opted for the 256gb. Glad I did. This phone supports the 5G mobile networks and shows whether the phone is connected to 4G, 5G I also had no issue with the fingerprint scanner after applying a glass screen protector and toggling the switch in settings letting the device know that it has a screen protector. Pros: 1) Excellent bright screen. 2) Fast processor. Very speedy. 3) Excellent sound. 4) Good Battery Life
Thank you so much for letting us know why you love your Galaxy S23 FE so much! Its stellar features are matched by its incredibly powerful performance! So, with a multi-lens camera, stunning display, long-lasting battery, a wonderful processor and incredible connectivity, there is so much to enjoy! ^CR at Samsung Support
Ived had this phone for about 3 weeks now. The phone itself is fine and there are many features I need ti figure out how to use. The biggest negative is that the storage is limited in comparison to all of my precious Samsung phones where you could use and SD card to extend storage. This limited capability means I can't send any emails which has now limited the use of my phone. I have taken steps to delete lots of documents and photos but even with this, I am still struggling to send an email. I use one phone for work and personal emails this has temporarily stopped my emails. Personally I preferred the option increase storage with an sd card. The phone needs to be recharged everyday. It doesn't take long. I will use it a bit longer and see if I can find a better solution to the storage issue.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to read that you are unhappy with the storage capacity of your Galaxy S23 FE.

Samsung S23 FE is a powerfull phone. Great refresh rate of the screen 120hz making everything fast responsive on the screen. Powerful Octa-core processor is one of the most stronger proccessors on the market. The phone looks great with aluminium frame. This is what I need. Super Fast charging is really fast. No more long waiting for full battery. For me camera is very importand and Samsung S23 dont let me down. All photos at the day light and night are great. Samsung S23 is a great phone!

What a phone, wow! Samsung S23 FE is a great phone. The big enough screen 6.4" and good refresh rate of 120Hz make decent look. With a powerful Octa-core processor I can easly play any game on the market. The phone building is very solid. Samsung S23 has the aluminium frame wich look amazing and giving you extra safty. The phone overall is fast, looks amazing, and camera making perfect quality photos. Super Fast Charging is really super fast. I really recommended that phone to everybody.

I was pleasantly surprised by how premium the Samsung S23 FE is. I had expected lower end finish or specs but the finish is amazing. The bezel is steel and so are the camera surrounds which make the phone seem very premium. The screen is amazing with a tiny central camera cut out, small and symmetric bezels all over. The overall size of the phone isn't much bigger than my old Samsung S8. The phone is fast, the phone switch is incredibly quick and very thorough and most importantly for me the battery is very long lasting. The camera is also surprising sharp and takes amazing photos again exceeded my expectations. On the downsides like with almost all new phones it come with just a USB type-C to type-C cable and a sim ejector tool. I preferred it when phones came with a purpose made power adapter.
I can't use this phone and have reverted to my own phone...I can only get notifications as they come through for e mail messages facebook etc If I don't see them when I get them I have to check all apps to look for notifications when I go on my phone...I have tried trouble shooting and my adult children have tried without luck...My email is a different format and not on the homescreen and cannot be moved for some reason... also keep getting adverts with e mails which is a nuisance

Disappointing. Previous phones have been Samsung. Most recent is a Note 9 which is getting elderly. However the new S23 does not match its performance as connecting to Internet very spasmodic. Alongside it with one in each hand, the Note 9 still connects immediately to Wifi. Am not in position to use mobile data because of location. Internet strength shows as connected with good signal quality. Settings confirm this. But Apps say not connected. Camera very good as was Note 9.
Thank you for your feedback, and while we're pleased to see that you've been a long time fan of our Galaxy, we do regret seeing that you're not getting everything that you were hoping for from your S23 FE, and having issues with it connecting to the internet.

I got this phone after using another brand and second hand phones for years. I always had problems with them. Right from the unboxing of this phone, I felt confident with the quality of it, and the looks, Then when I started to use it, the quality became clear. The camera is amazingly clear , and accurate. The speaker sound is loud enough, the processor speed is great, as I like my games, and there is no buffering or lagging. Overall , I would give this phone 10/10 and would definitely recommend it to family and friends, as a good quality reliable phone, with a battery that lasts a long time, and charges superfamily! Also it was so easy to copy over all my apps , data, files, and contacts, from my old phone, with Samsungs smartswitch app ! The layout and interface is very user friendly, and intuitive.
We're so happy to see you're loving the Galaxy S23 FE! The camera is indeed amazing, allowing you take luscious landscapes or detailed close-ups! Your photos and videos will look amazing on the stunning display too! The processor is speedy enough to multitask with ease! The battery is long-lasting and can go a full day on a single charge and with Super Fast Charging, you're back to full in no time! Transferring your existing data has never been easier too, thanks to Smart Switch. Many thanks for the five stars! ^CH at Samsung Support

Overall performance, really good. Upgraded my S10 to tgis S23 FE. Slightly bigger than the S10, so not excellent. Much heavier than the S10. This was not good. I can really feel the weight of the phone in my pocket :(. The performance is as good as the S10 (even though 5y old, it was still amazing phone). 256GB memory, so this side of the phone's performance is really good. The camera is good. Fhe ability to switch between the 12M and 50M on the screen itself is quite handy. Didn't like the fact that it doesn't have the jack for the normal headphones (always handy if you can't find the earbuds case), nor the good old fashioned wired selfie stick. Have to buy a new one now, so not good. It can be improved substantially, but being the FE version, maybe the "normal" version doesn't have all the above minuses.
Thank you for taking the time to share with us this in-depth review about your experience with the Galaxy S23 FE when compared to the Galaxy S10, Alex. We are pleased to read that you think the Galaxy S23 FE is a good product overall, especially thanks to its flawless performance and versatile camera system. Still, we also appreciate that you can see some room for improvement with it. More specifically, we understand that you wished it to be a bit smaller and lighter, although we are confident that its larger display and more powerful components have already made up for it. In the meantime, you will always be able to find the exact dimensions and weight of all our products, directly on the Specifications and Physical specification sections of the product page on the Samsung UK website: https://spr.ly/6426tNUCn It is also our understanding you wished for a headphone jack to be present in this device, although we would like to reassure you that we removed this feature to make space for the larger battery, as well as to make the device thinner. You will still be able to use wired USB-C headphones with it or, as you mentioned, Bluetooth ones for a wireless and more enhanced sound experience.

I have had this phone for a couple of weeks now and I am very impressed. It is very strong and fits perfect in the hand. The screen is very clear and the interaction is extremely impressive, the on screen finger print sensor works better than I thought, plus there is a face recognition feature. The camera is also impressive, the zoom and detail is better than any other I have tried. I bought the smart wallet case that has a window to answer calls and see notifications
We’re thrilled to hear your thoughts and feedback, thanks for sharing with us and giving us top marks, Lillie! ^CH at Samsung Support
There's a few really annoying bugs with the software, e.g. sometimes I'll call someone and the phone call screen will disappear and it will look like I am on the home screen, there's no green bar at the top to say I'm in a phone call but I can hear it dialling. If I open the phone app, it says I'm not in a call and I have no way to hang up. Also the gallery app will occasionally just close/crash, I went from a Samsung S21 to this and so far I'm quite disappointed.
We're sorry to read that you are experiencing issues with your S23 FE when on calls and when using the gallery app. Please check out the following link to prevent app crashes: https://spr.ly/6421s0Y7T To provide our support with your call issue, we will need some further information.

Needed an upgrade from my old A90 5g . Screen burn battery not lasting and lags a bit . Saw the S23fe and as I know people that had the S20fe I thought I'd get the newer version . First of all the screen, design and colour (mint green) is gorgeous . The phone feels like it's super charged with blistering fast speed . Took a few snaps with the camera in near pitch black not only did I get quite a bright picture there was also tonnes of detail with little noise . Battery life is also brilliant .today alone before its learnt my usage patterns ive had 7 hours of screen on time that's pretty impressive . Ignore the hate online about exynos2200 it's an amazing chip and phone isn't running hot at all . Love this phone think I'll defo be keeping it for 3 to 5 years . Well done Samsung on making a truly magnificent device

The Samsung FE came in minimal packaging with just the phone and a charging cable (usb c) at both ends. A plug will be required extra to use this cable. After turning the phone on it was very simple to setup and transfer everything across from my old phone using the smart switch app recommended. Once setup I found it easy to navigate and the apps load very quickly. Game play is smooth with no glitching. The camera takes very sharp photos and has the ability to pick out individual colours and remove the background along with other features. Battery life is good even when playing games or watching videos. Fast charge is brilliant for topping up the battery when low. Overall I am really impressed with the Samsung FE, the large 256g memory has plenty of space for apps, photos and videos to be saved without slowing the phone down.

Love this phone, its so responsive. Never thought of getting an FE addition pho e before but certainly no regrets. Love the style, the colour choices are fantastic , I got the mint and a matching mint and grey case which protects the camera lenses really well, no protruding lens with this case on. The camera takes greet pictures and the battery means I get a full day's worth of battery. All in all a great high end phone at a really great price

On first impressions upon opening the box was wow. What a great looking phone, perfect size, lovely weight and easy to setup to get running quite quickly. The only downside is lack of a charger but you can purchase these separately. Not great if you never had a Samsung Galaxy phone before. The screen quality is sharp and vibrant in colours. Camera, I though with it being a slimmed down version on the S23+, the camera pictures are of great standard. Plenty of memory for storage too. The one thing I did notice is that it is slightly slower than my previous S22 Ultra when it comes to the processing power but its not that much of an issue and is expected due to its cost. It does everything you expect in a smart phone with ease Battery life has been great, can run for a day in constant use. I would gladly recommend this phone to everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to share with us this positive review about your experience with the Galaxy S23 FE, Paul! We are glad to read that you were impressed by this fantastic device as soon as you unboxed it, especially thanks to its prestigious design and flawless setup. We also appreciate that you wished for a charger to be included in the box, which was removed to promote better recycling habits and protect the environment. You will still be able to use the included USB-C cable with any other Samsung charger. About the screen specifically, it is great that you find it sharp and vibrant; and that you are also impressed by the quality of the pictures and videos taken with its powerful camera. Additionally, we are glad that you are happy with its extensive storage capacity, user-friendly interface and all-day battery. It is also our understanding that you noticed it is slightly slower than your previous Galaxy S22 Ultra, and we recommend following this link, where you can find a useful guide about how to keep your device always as fast as possible: https://spr.ly/6424txDum You can make the most of a phone that is built to be impressive in every way! ^CL at Samsung Support

Unboxing this was a pleasure although I was disappointed there was no stylish plug to go with it. The phone was a welcome upgrade from my S10+. First appearance was sleek and modern. I love the green colour and this feels more robust than my last phone. Transferring data from my last phone was a breeze and easy to do even for those not technologically minded. The screen size and ease of use is excellent. Touch screen facility is very responsive. Using this over the past few days the battery lasts a long time and the operating system is quick. Camera quality is great and I'm looking forward to seeing what it can really do. It comes with 256GB which will be welcome as I take a lot of photos. Pros for me are battery life, easy of use, speed and photo quality. The only con would be the lack of plug. I'd definitely recommend this phone to others.
Great to see that you are enjoying your upgrade to the S23 FE, Maz! The stylish design is evident as soon as you open the box, with the sleek lines and beautiful finish on the casing blowing you away. Smart Switch allows you to quickly and easily transfer your data and get stuck into your new phone immediately. The responsive Dynamic AMOLED 2X 6.4" screen is your gateway to a whole new world, with the user-friendly interface being a joy to use. Not to mention, the Samsung Exynos 2200 processor runs this phone like a dream, with speedy operation and smooth scrolling, no matter what task you are carrying out. It also works in perfect harmony with the battery to give you the longest amount of battery life possible. The amazing 3 lens camera allows you to take stunningly detailed shots, while the large amount of storage ensures that all of your precious memories can be stored on your phone. The items included in the box reflect our commitment to the environment, and reducing the amount of e-waste we contribute to. We would always recommend checking the 'What's in the box' section on the purchase page to ensure that you can be prepared for your phone's arrival. Thank you for leaving such a glowing recommendation of this model! ^SK at Samsung Support
I had an s20fe for 3+ years which I loved, so was looking forward to the newer model. Overall feeling a little disappointed with the 23fe. Physically bigger, it certainly feels that way being thicker and heavier, hut eith similar screen size and comparable battery life..I thought tech was supposed to get smaller in the future! No internal sd card too which is a massive loss. It feels buggy too. General day to day ok, but have had a few issues like the automatic brightness now working, and the gps calibration in google maps telling me I'm going pointing completely the wrong way, amongst others, along with a few google wallet issues, which weren't there on my old s20fe. I guess that could be an account porting issue, so reversing judgement. Camera feels good, and battery life is decent. Overall a good phone, but just not an upgrade on the s20fe.
I recommended this product.
Thanks for taking the time to review the Galaxy S23 FE. We pride ourselves on creating products that continuously improve on past iterations and we regret to see you are not enamoured with this device.

Fan Edition great value for the price performs well very quick for downloads and apps and easy to navigate Good size screen 6.4-in Amoled 2 x display with one front selfie and 3 cameras on the back. The picture quality are sharp crystal clear sharpness is great. camera also has The smartphone had a larger battery lasting at least 24 hours on a full charge and supports wireless and reverse charging and has gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back and the phone is very glossy so have to constantly clean it also the 3 Camera on the rear of the phone are quite protruding so I will have to get a phone case as the phone wobbles when laid flat. The optical fingerprint can be a bit slow and personally feel it would be better positioned higher up, but also comes with Facial recognition which is very quick so have opted to use that, is also water and dust proof.

I recently got my hands on the Samsung S23 FE in the cream colour, and it's a refreshing departure from the standard phone hues. The cream color adds a touch of elegance, standing out subtly without being too flashy. The device itself performs decently, offering practical features and a good amount of storage. While it doesn't boast the most advanced specs, its reliable performance and unique colour make it a suitable choice for those seeking both functionality and a distinctive aesthetic The Samsung S23 FE 128GB is a decent phone, offering practical features. While it may not shine as brightly as some flagship models, it gets the job done without breaking the bank. Its reliable performance and adequate storage make it a reasonable choice for everyday use. Its camera boasts a good quality photo. I would recommend this as a budget smart device phone.

Got it as a spare work phone and now it's used more and more everyday. Great bright and sharp display. Screen is big enough to do most office stuff on the go. Powerful processor give it enough to work flawlessly. Cameras are great for the phone in this range especially zoom. Battery wise I'm very happy as it easily go through full day of use without any issues. You won't be disappointed if you need great phone in great price.

I couldn't be happier with my Samsung Galaxy S23 FE 256GB Smartphone in Graphite colour. It has a more than decent sized screen and so many new and exciting features to explore and get acquainted to. The battery life is exceptional and offers hours of uninterrupted viewing of videos or call time. The menu screen is really easy to navigate around and the camera facility offers clear and crisp picture quality on a par with the best I have ever experienced previously. The 'Superzoom' facility is a real benefit to me and ideal for those situations where the subject is some way away. Transferring data and apps over was seamless, and I have so much new phone capacity now that I have the 256GB Storage option. I love the graphite colour and proudly show it off at every opportunity. This phone is another winner from Samsung and a device that I can't recommend enough.
Thank you for your five-star review, we hope you’re still in love with your S23 FE, as much as you were the day you bought it! With the powerful Exynos 2200 processor, 8GB of RAM and 120Hz refresh rate, your viewing experience will be taken to new heights, and will be enhanced by the stunning 6.4" Dynamic AMOLED 2X display.

I have been using the s23 FE for two weeks now. I absolutely love the pastel green colour and the size of the phone. I was worried it would be heavy but it is not and I quickly got used to it. It is a very high quality phone and doesn’t not feel like cheap plastic. It is so fast and all my apps run so smoothly and open very quickly. I love the facial recognition feature it is very accurate and super quick to setup. In terms of the battery life it lasts me all day which is brilliant. It is a usb c and you get the cable in the box but the adapter is sold separately. The camera is also good quality. It features a portrait mode that focuses on the main subject and it makes the photo look great almost like professional quality. I would definitely recommend this phone for any user and you won’t be disappointed. I’m so pleased and it is definitely worth the money.

I am currently having a great experience with the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. The ease of transfer of apps and files from my old Samsung was impressive, which helped the speed of set up. The battery life on the phone has been great, a full charge goes a long way. The camera quality has been great although there is a bit of a time lag with flash photos. But overall an impressive sturdy phone which I have enjoyed using so far.
Absolutely terrible both myself and my wife had one each the same day and have had nothing but trouble with them charging. We both took them back to the ee shop we bought them from they replaced mine with a new one as they couldn't fix it but said my wife's was fine. Mine was OK charging for the next couple of times but no will only charge a little at a time as does my wife. We both are very angry and disappointed
We regret seeing that you and your wife were having these issues with the charging for your S23 FEs.

I had a note 20 for a very long time and it was hard for me to change it to another phone, but I chose the s23 fe and I am very happy and I wouldn't exchange it for another one. It takes much better photos, clearer, more vivid colors, both with the rear and front cameras. The battery lasts at least two days with normal use. much better sound when playing multimedia. The glass back of the phone is impressive!
The phone itself is great. It's a good size, great camera, and the audio for calls and media is fantastic. Unfortunately Samsung still fill their devices with so many unnecessary apps and tools that it drains the battery very quickly. Even after uninstalling and disabling all that I can, there's still things that can't be uninstalled without rooting the device and therefore avoiding my warranty.
I recommended this product.
It's great to see that you are loving so much about your S23 FE. It's the combination of all the most popular features of the S23, for a truly unique experience. The extra size allows for a more cinematic screen, which is complimented even further by the professionally tuned speakers. We do aim to make all our smartphones as adaptable as possible, with you being able to disable or delete apps, however some apps or attached to the Android system itself, which we do not have any control over. We are happy to take on board your feedback, however, so that we can keep on giving our customers everything that they'd want. ^DB at Samsung Support

I was nicely suprised with this phone. I like the fact that this has a Telephoto lens and an amoled screen, so images and brightness are extremely good - even in bright light. This is also Ip68 rated which means it's dust resistant and water resistant (for up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes), good to know. It has excellent build quality, and, is very affordable for the price range This can also switch between the 60 Hz and 120hz refresh rate, which hardly affects battery life between the two when set to Adaptive mode. This is great for movies and, also for gaming - although I haven't tried gaming on this yet.It also records 4K 60fps video which is great for home movies. This phone has a slightly curved design which is good to hold, but it does tend to be fingerprint magnet. The overall performance and user interface. fast, and, smooth performance, which I'm happy with for a mid range phone.

I just upgraded from Samsung galaxy s20 fe to s23 Fe . This phone is faster, so that means that there is a bigger processor with 8GB of RAM, a big screen, a dedicated telephoto lens, which is making great photos even in the dusk. It is fully water and dust resistance, which is also great feature. You can also see the quality of the screen. I would highly recommend this phone as an upgrade.

The Galaxy S23 FE is a great phone. The photographs I take are much clearer and sharper than my previous phone and the colours are better. The apps I use are easy to find and are all working beautifully. My one concern is that the screen occasionally has patches of yellow which are a bit disturbing. I should have taken it back to Curry's where I bought it, but I haven't got around to it.
I recommended this product.
We're so pleased to hear you're enjoying your Galaxy S23 FE. And that's such a beautiful photo taken with it's amazing camera, we can tell the high-resolution sensor is working to capture full detail and clarity! As for your screen issue you may have a filter applied to your photos. Let's check this by heading to the Camera app > Wand icon (top right) > Here you will see any filters active. To remove these, select the first one (original) to clear this. We would also advise performing a service test to check the screen. Head to the phone dialler > Enter *#0*# > Select Red, and then tap the screen > Select Green, and then tap the screen > Select Blue, and then tap the screen > Select Black, and then tap the screen. If you can still see the yellow patches during this test then we would recommend you book your device in for a repair: https://spr.ly/6424Wx7e0 ^EA at Samsung Support

This 23 Fan edition looks exactly like the flagship S23 but cheaper and the screen size is also bigger. Been using it for 2 days now and I get full day easily on a single charge. Cameras are too good too when compared with S23. Only complain it is bit on the heavy side compared to s23 . I am talking about 20gm extra weight that's it. Over all very happy with the performance of the phone
Great to see that you are having a five-star experience with the stylish S23 FE! The 6.4" Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is truly immersive, making this a brilliant device for streaming your favourite content, and the rear camera is made up of three high-resolution lenses, ensuring that you're always prepared to take the perfect shot. Such amazing features need to be supported by a great battery and processor - this model delivers on both! The Samsung Exynos 2200 performs beautifully in this phone, while the 4500 mAh battery supports you through the day, with battery life to spare. While there is a slight difference in the weight between this model and the S23, it isn't too noticeable as this is still a lightweight device, and it definitely makes up for it with all the amazing features it has to offer. Thank you for sharing such a glowing review! ^SK at Samsung Support
This phone as a large memory but the downside there is place to add extra memory ie sd card / taking videos in the day is good quality but in low or in a club light not so good and if the light is activated I get problems like red eye or white eye my previous camera phone was better at low light I have only had the phone for a couple of months so can't give a full review on my phone yet
I've changed from a A52, My old phone had a better battery life, much better camera front and back, the wireless charging is some what none existent as won't charge in my works van, won't charge out unless you have auleast a 20 25 charger, most chargers out there are only 10, and was much more enjoyable altogether, if I could go back in time I wouldn't of switched, phone is awful.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, part of the "Fan Edition" lineup, offers a more affordable alternative to the flagship S23 series. Sporting a design similar to the S23, it features a well-built body, a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and a comfortable grip. Powered by Exynos 2200, it provides solid performance for everyday tasks and light gaming. The 50MP main camera, while good, doesn't match the S23's quality. With a 4,500mAh battery, fast charging, and wireless charging, the S23 FE delivers good battery life. However, it has thicker bezels, lacks a microSD card slot, and features a slightly dated camera compared to the S23. Despite these drawbacks, it's considered a solid mid-range option with an excellent display, powerful performance, and an affordable price. The decision may hinge on whether one prioritizes the latest features and camera quality over the more budget-friendly S23 FE.
We're over the moon to see you're loving the Galaxy S23 FE! The Dynamic AMOLED 2x display is indeed stunning, whether you're playing games, watching films or looking back on your photos taken with the awesome camera! The processor is speedy and can multitask with ease! The battery is long-lasting and can go a full day on a single charge and with Super Fast Charging, you're back to doing the things you love in no time! Many thanks for the four stars! ^CH at Samsung Support

I was so excited when this arrived & couldn’t wait to try it , it did not disappoint, the Phone is fast & has lots of storage; it is easy to set up. Battery lasts surprisingly long , even when I’m playing games or listening to music & even without a screensaver it’s surprisingly strong & sturdy when I accidentally dropped it & the camera is amazing it is great for all my needs .
We’re thrilled to hear your thoughts and feedback, thanks for sharing with us and giving us top marks! ^CR at Samsung Support
I feel let down by this phone. The battery life is extremely poor. Even though it is a brand new phone, and I'm not Overly using it, the battery is not lasting the full day. Samsung have taken away the ability to have an external memory card in the device which I'm really disappointed about. Having being a samsung user for well over 15 years, I'm doubtful I would get another.

This device is amazing and given I had gone from Note8, tried various A ranges and then decided on this device (even though I have kept 1 A range for back up, this is by far better in every way. Totally love it . It does so so much, looks great, would highly recommend anyone thinking A range to go that little bit more and get the S23 FE, you would not be disappointed at all.

Thank you for your continued loyalty and upgrading with Samsung. We love having you with us, Wendy! ^CL at Samsung Support
Size and weight of phone ideal. The phone is stylish looking and does everything I want my Samsung to do. Only issue I have is that it is not as reactive to touch. I find I can't just tap the screen to wake it up more often that not I have to press the side button which can be a pain. I want to just be able to move it or tap ot to wake or up. I am very happy with the phine

Now it's settled in it works almost as well as my s22. It took a good couple of weeks to work properly. It was painfully slow connecting to data and to mobile networks which was really annoying. Now it's much better but still seems to be not as good. On the whole it's a decent phone once it's had time to bed in. Maybe ask me again next month if it's fully up to speed.

disappointing battery life - not what was expected from the Samsung website, certainly not lasting as long as my previous Nokia. Having had the phone for a couple of months I initially put this down to additional usage time as it was a new phone but the matter is still the same and having reviewed my usage it is definitely a step backwards from the phone it replaced.

The phone was great at first but then it started vibrating randomly as if I had a notification. This went on for a few weeks so I decided to search if anyone else had this issue. It seemed that it's quiet common for the S23 and it's the NFC so I had to turn that off. The problem hasn't fixed itself because if I put the NFC back on the vibrations start again.
We are sorry to read that you cannot make the most of your Galaxy S23 FE because you have noticed it vibrates randomly when the NFC (Near Field Communication) feature is enabled, Lola.

First impressions of this phone are really good. The phone itself is beautiful - the screen is high definition and really clear. I like the size of the phone - it makes everything easy to see and use on it. The Smart Switch app made it really easy to transfer everything from my old phone. The battery life is fantastic. Default sounds are good. I've found it fairly easy to move over to an android phone. Having played around with the camera and video functions, I love all the features. The camera is extremely detailed when you zoom in. Lots of clever settings like saying cheese to make it take a picture without pressing the button, or holding your hand up to take a photo. I like how you can personalise things like double clicking the side button to go into your wallet. Overall I'm really pleased with and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. My daughter has already bought one after seeing and playing with my new phone!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Lee! We are thrilled to see how impressed you were with your S23 FE straight out of the box!

Enjoy! ^CR at Samsung Support
The phone has all of the great suff you'd expect from a Samsung Galaxy device but all of this great stuff is ruined by the constant issues maintaining a wifi connection. The phone constantly drops from a full wifi connection which is so frustrating. It's making me regret making the move from my S20 and this feels like a downgrade. Samsung, PLEASE FIX THIS!

Battery backup not good. Phone getting heated sometimes even with less usag. No charger. Sound quality not upto the mark.

Disappointed with Samsung. Try to avos brand next time.

It feels slower than the phone S20 FE I had previously, from a boot to actual day to day performance wise. No idea why this is but it doesn't feel like much of an upgrade from that perspective, especially given the generational skips there. The battery is also an issue, again seems not much better than the old phone, even though that was a couple years old! Seems crazy to me, but maybe a symptom of the tech it's running? The phone does look and feel much better other than the above and the camera is also much improved. Certainly more in line with what you would expect for skipping a couple generations of the phone series. The photos look much better and the modes (night mode etc.) just seem more efdective. The incentives are what I would say still made this phone a great choice. Overall it does make me feel good about making the decision to stop chasing the latest phones... Seems the upgrades just aren't such an upgrade these days.
I recommended this product.

The camera is good, but pretty much all other functions are no better or worse than any other make of mobile phone. However, when we went for this Samsung we were advised that the battery life was amazing, yet my husband and I are appalled by how short the battery life is, and are having to charge it after about 4/5 hours, and with very little use.

100% shocking phone battery does not last long at all, my old Samsung a34 battery would last two day and I loved it .

Having had many samsung phones in the past but recently had a one plus, I was very happy to be returning to samsung but without paying over the odds. This phone is reasonably priced but has all everything you could want from a phone for your average everyday use. The range of colours is great and the camera is too. Would highly recommend.

The phone looks great right out of the box with the 6.4 inch AMOLED screen with its over the top 120Hz refresh rate. The phone was super easy to set up and was up and running in minutes, however it did not include a plug like a lot of phones on the market. If you want to use the fast charge option you will need to invest in a decent plug. The S23FE seems fast and powerful enough for the everyday user and with a 50MP camera on the back you can really take advantage of the great screen to take some super shots. On the front there is a 10MP selfie camera. The battery seems good and lasts all day and has the ability to fast charge which is needed these days. The FE edition does not have the SD card extension of its bigger brother but with 256GB storage I don’t think I would need much more. No headphone jack on this phone was not a problem for me as I use Bluetooth buds but for some that might be a problem. Overall this is a solid phone for the price.
Thank you for taking the time to share with us this in-depth review about your positive experience with the Galaxy S23 FE, Katie. We are thrilled to read that you were impressed with the smart and sleek design of this phone as soon as you unboxed it, and that you are also happy with its immersive and responsive 6.4" Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and super-smooth 120Hz refresh rate.

It is easy to use the camera works well. Disappointed Samsung no longer have the text calendar which we used to be able to delay our text for the time we wanted it to be sent we chose the date and time for the text to go if we did not want it to be done instant. For those of us who work shifts or have family who work shifts it was great.

Previously I had the Samsung S21fe and honestly, so far I cant see any difference or feel that the S23fe is any kind of upgrade. In fact for my purposes as it is 50g heaver it seems to be a bit of a step backward, it feels like a brick in my hand. It also took me about two weeks to get the phone to work with my ear buds correctly
Not good. My old S20 was stolen. I was thinking of changing using my old phone as a trade in. I wanted the new S 23 ultra. I did not have the spare cash once phone was gone. I find this phone to be very finicky. It looses its caller volume. I have to reboot it as it keeps locking on one of my apps, etc etc. Not a happy camper.
Only had the phone a day, it's fast and crips picture. However, the battery just drains. From googling, this is an apparent known problem with these phones. So if you are used to a phone that last days on battery don't get this as you'll be charging it 2 times a day. The A55 would have been a better choice in terms of battery

Much better then my s20 phone. I wanted a new phone as I was looking for an upgrade, this phone is a perfect upgrade, not too many changes but overall just better quality, I love the rounded edges of the phone making it easier to hold, whilst it's a little smaller, it's so much easier to carry and still has everything I need!

Yes I really like my phone.. It's fast and quality is good. The camera is even better... The only thing I do not like is the battery... I need to darken my screen. Turn battery saver on and do everything to save the battery. It's brand new and depending on what and how I use the phone it would not even make it a day... Shame

I don't like it. I wish I had kept my old mob. Much lighter in weight, too heavy. Buttons on both sides of screen. Simpler features. Stuck for 2 years now.

Where to start. As a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE user and being happy with it, I was keen to try the S23 FE. The box is so small because it doesn't come with a wall plug only a USB C to USB C cable. I cannot use this as my wall plugs have standard USB on one end. So it's strange to be using an old cable with a new phone. Unboxing the phone it's neatly wrapped in a black paper with the camera facing up. Looks very high end. On picking it up I immediately felt the difference in weight to the S20 FE, it's quite a few grams heavier and chunkier. It doesn't feel slippery though which is a bonus considering it's glass. It came 49% charged. Set up was simple and fairly straightforward. I'm not sure if this is because both my phones already have the transfer data app already installed. You can choose what to transfer either wirelessly or by connecting a cable. Time for transfer is dependent on how much you're transferring. I have ordered a case so will update once it arrives
Thank you for taking the time to share with us this review about your fantastic Galaxy S23 FE, which is an upgrade from your previous and still amazing Galaxy S20 FE. We are delighted to read that you enjoyed a premium experience from the moment you unboxed it, as you loved its black paper wrapping, with the device presented with the camera facing up inside the box. We would also like to reassure you that the USB-C cable that comes with this phone will allow you to enjoy faster charging, so you can fully make the most of its 25W Super Fast Charging with a compatible charger. Furthermore, we are pleased to read that you found setting it up very easy, and we are confident that its powerful components and immersive screen will soon make up for it slightly thicker and heavier design. We are confident that by now you are enjoying a premium experience with this phone and everything incredible it can do for you, while also making the most of the case you decided to get for it. ^CL at Samsung Support
So I gave been an iPhone user from the iPhone 3G. Never changed until now. The S23 is a fantastic phone. Compared to a direct model iPhone I was using, improvemts I've seen are: 1. Battery lasts longer 2. Camera far superior 3.smother operating system and no glitches. I am now a convert and will not be changing back.
I recently Upgraded from a samsung s22 to the s23se the phone is great to use the only down side is that the phone applications are not as fast opening and responding as quick as the s22 does if i knew this befor i upgraded i probably would have chosen the s23 or the s23 ultra But as the budget version phone its not bad
It's magnificent to see that you're finding the S23 FE great to use!

As a general this phone is great. However the camera can not handle taking pictures of people, more often than not they are blurry and out of focus. In fact I've been trying to swap my phone for this very reason. I am really disappointed because my main reason for an upgrade was to take clearer pictures of my children.

Rewarded for feedback, but gave honest & objective review.
My first reaction was very positive. First thing I noticed was how heavy phone is compared to other phones which is very positive thing for me. Second feature which I love is camera. Quality of photos are just stunning. Phone is changing quickly and battery life is very good as well. I would recommend this phone 100%

Don't rate the phone at all it won't hold the charge at all it's like having an old phone, infact my old phone held the charge better and it is overheating. It also says in my plan that I have 5G and I'm not getting it. So overall I've never have a worse phone. Only give 1 star cause I had to or it would be zero.

The phone is slow at loading anything, even when I'm on WiFi or just signal. I can't load videos, social media posts don't load, games take forever to load up. Ive never had this issue before and I've had samsungs for the best part of 15 years. It's not my WiFi or phone provider as my husband has no issues at all.

I have got the s25 ultra, its absolutely amazing, honestly I was considering the 17pro max, pixel 10 pro xl, and the s25 ultra for over 3 months, and did lots of comparisons, all were good products, but by far the s25 ultra blows everything out of the water, its the king of all phones. Looks amazing, super snappy and powerful with the smpdragon 8 elite Gen 4, the best camera in smartphones, absolutely polished samsung one ui, honestly I am amazed for days, superb AI …functionality, I have been gaming all day it barely gets warm, superb display and battery performance is better because of the more efficient cpu, honestly glad I made the right decision and would do it again.smartphones, absolutely polished samsung one ui, honestly I am amazed for days, superb AI … functionality, I have been gaming all day it barely gets warm, superb display and battery performance is better because of the more efficient cpu, honestly glad I made the right decision and would do it again.
