In 2025, is the Galaxy S23 still good?

 I chose this topic today because I purchased this phone a year ago when the S24 series was the newest model on the market. Now at that time it has been relaunched, and now the S25 series is popular.

However, I actually purchased this model at the time, and I will attempt to discuss my thoughts on the benefits and drawbacks of using it. I also encourage you to leave a comment if you are also using this phone, as I would be very happy to see it.

How was the Galaxy S23 experience?

If I had to phrase it this way, the Galaxy S23 is the greatest gadget to date.

Since the iPhone was so popular in India at the time, two years ago, I had planned to get the newest model. However, one of my relatives purchased a Galaxy S23 basic model at launch for about Rs. 80k, and when I used it, I was pleasantly surprised by the camera quality. 

In addition, I liked the phone's weight and size because I was using a POCO X2, a low-cost gaming phone, and it was functioning well, but I am really annoyed by the phone's size and weight.

I'm not saying that Poco is bad, but it was defending its price, and it's working now. It's after the series's legend phone, the Poco F1, but sales are dropping now due to Xiaomi's after-sales service, so I advise Xiaomi to upgrade because I've used three Redmi models and two Poco models, all of which have given me nearly the best experience in terms of price, with the exception of the Poco X3.

However, if you use a phone while you're about to sleep and it falls on your face, it might cause major injuries. I've experienced this a lot; have you? Tell us about your experience. So, I decided to upgrade to S23 because it has been providing the finest experience for about a year.

  
Does the Rs. 40k price give it a premium feel?

I don't know why this particular model of the series wasn't selling well, but I believe Samsung was having a lot of trouble selling the phone, but then also its price was justified. This phone is the most underrated model in the market.

Indeed, this phone has a really high-end feel that is impossible to convey at first glance. The touch screen and other features, aside from the battery, are where the premiumness lies.

I'll sum up by saying that whenever I show my phone to someone in my group without the cover, they always ask about it because of its well-balanced weight, the high-end glass and metal used at the edge, and its bezelness. I was also among the first people to experience a phone, and it will truly shocked.

Second, the camera has a 3x zoom telephoto lens, and after AI, it produces the best photo, which is comparable to a 1 lakh DSLR, in my opinion. If you look at your photo, it is always ready for Instagram upload, which helps you stay focused in the group because people will undoubtedly ask you to share photos after a trip or gathering.

In conclusion, it was worth the 80k rupees it cost. If you get this for about 40k, I don't think any set compares to this because the Vivo X200 series produces the greatest pictures and everything, but I don't like how uneven the weight is. In my opinion, a smartphone is a device that fits in your pocket and is incredibly comfortable to use whenever you want. If you use this phone, you will also detest the heavy weight phone.

Regret trying a different gadget right now?

I have never regretted using my friends' and coworkers' phones, which are in the same price range, because they are the best available at this price and are not comparable.

Please share your experience if you regret using the S23 basic model and why. Additionally, if you're using a device, please share your regrets and what you would buy in its place in the comments section. I'm delighted to see your experience with it.

  
What were the actual disadvantages that needed to be addressed in the upcoming model?

There are no drawbacks or disadvantages to this phone, yet many users will occasionally criticize its battery and charging speed.

I acknowledge that its battery backup isn't the best, but based on its size, I'd say it's the best. It is the greatest phone overall, so you shouldn't expect a large, bulky battery like that found in Chinese phones. The battery in this phone is decently tenacious enough to last a day, but if you use it excessively, like I do, you'll need to charge it in the evening, which isn't a huge deal to me.

Second, the 25w charging speed is a little slow in 2024 or extremely slow in 2025, but it is not much improving.I was downgrading my battery's charging speed on my previous phone, when I switched to this one.

 

I really missed fast charging, but I also know that slow charging is better for the phone and long-life of battery also and that it has a lower chance of experiencing a blast than fast charging. Don't carry a lot of heavy rapid charging, like an Ola scooter, which can explode at any time. If it's safe, though, I'll recommend updating this on all smartphones.

What is the best thing you hope won't change in the upcoming series?

Although I won't claim that it has the newest technology, I will say that it has the safest and most recent technology available. I liked the security features, OS, and everything else except battery life and charging speed. 

I would advise the brand to offer a well-balanced tech pack that includes the best camera available, which will stand out from the competition among users of smartphones.

I'd love to see your thoughts in the comment section, where you can share your experiences and questions. This will make the page much more interesting, so please leave a remark if you would like to see any improvements made to it.
