for heavens sake. No one needs a screen protector these days! My last phone I had for 4 years without one and not even a scratch. micro hairline scratches are impossible to see with screen on!
The most informative video on the subject on the Internet, that really helped
actually the best video out there for s23
Watching on an s10 that still kicks ass and no plans to upgrade in the near future because I'm so satisfied with this phone. I heard the s20, 21, 22 and 23 have green line issues after an update. I don't need the headache.
For s8 you got 400 discount? And for s20 its 270? Weird
So no sdcard is good? Are you alright? There is so many fast sd cards lol 14:30
First video I've watched about phones that didn't sound like a sales person; the honesty and sincerity was much appreciated. Finally learned something that actual helped. Thank you Sir, your video is the best I've watched before deciding on which phone will work for me.
The non glass back on the S23 is a big backwards upgrade and smart. The first thing that broke on my phone was the back glass and i didnt even notice until i took it out of the case.
I disagree about the screen. I bought an Armorphone because of its sturdy case and the screen looked good at 1080p but when I went back to my Samsung I could tell the clarity was 10x better but I didn't notice until I had been using the other phone first. Funny how your eyes trick you one way but not the other. I think you would notice it even if you went to the A series then back to the S series, you could tell the difference in screen clarity.
"I want this phone to last another 3 to 4 years." Made me laugh.
I want to get the s20 cause I have a mid range device😢. What are the chances of the screen of death or green line thing happening to me?
My S20 is now on its second charger port, and needs the 3rd, I can only use wireless charging only again. Another thing, the alarm tones sometimes wont play but just a single beep for alarm and might not hear it! alarm clock is unreliable!
I see at 500 fps I need the 120 hz
Very good comparison for the two! Thank you! I go for the S20
At 29:52 mins the S23 is much much yellowish compare to S20…in fact earlier before, when you were showing the display of S23, I already notice it. (2:27 mins onwards) there is this tintkish, yellowish tone of the display as you were swyping the screen…coming back to your notion, that you much prefer one big internal storage space than having two stage space, well you will know how it feels when the phone main board crashes and all the phone images and data are gone without your latest backup to cloud.
S20 has a better screen with edges. You get SD card support. Samsung joined Apple in overcharging for UFS storage.
hmm I have a glass protector on my S20 FE and it has never slipped. maybe plastic does n't work
Great video. You make awesome vids ♥️♥️
What do you think about the green line? I want to buy this s20 this year and im worried about the issue i need your advice about this.
I envy those who are upgrading from like an S6 Edge to the S24 Ultra… the amount tech has changed since then would be staggering, especially if they didnt follow tech at all.
"120hz is a marketing gimmick".. lol
You are the first person I’ve heard say that an SD card slot is unwanted…..
Bro, i am watching this on s9 plus, it still works like a charm
No. In fact, Samsung needs to go back and put the SD card slot back, as well as the headphone jack, the IR blaster and the charger back in the box…
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Note Ultra does offer eSIM functionality, which is a great feature for travelers. However, the decision between eSIM and a local SIM card depends on your specific needs and destination.
Benefits of eSIM:
Convenience: Easily switch between carriers without needing a physical SIM card.
Security: Data stored on a chip within the phone, making it more difficult to steal compared to a physical SIM card.
Benefits of Local SIM Card:
Potentially Lower Cost: Local SIM cards can often provide cheaper data plans compared to roaming charges on your eSIM.
Local Phone Number: A local phone number can be useful for things like food delivery apps or making reservations.
I finally had to get rid of my s9+ after it went for a swim in my friend's pool with a shattered back glass. loved that phone😂
I'm literally watching this on my s7 edge . Yes my battery needs charging twice a day and has an hairline crack but it's still great.
That being said I'm looking to get an s23 for myself .
Switched exactly like in the video even the colours,but that wasnt planned 😂,my s 20 protected me from a falling brick but that did a bit of damage 1/3 of the screen dont work anymore,the s 20 is a fantastic phone had it like around 4 years and wanted 5 years but then the brick came so i switched to a s 23 for 600 a pretty nice price for a last year flagship,now i try anything in this phone out
I want the curved edges back 😞
