My daughter bought me the S23 FE galaxy for my birthday in December. I have not liked this phone due to many of the previous phone capabilities I had that are not possible with this model. A few days ago, Samsung updated my UI on my phone and since that my phone quit working. I could not place or get text messages. I soon found out I was also not receiving phone calls, and then discovered I could not make any either. My carrier did some trouble shooting and I was able to test message and receive test message, but I still could not receive or make phone calls. I called my carriers IT department and was told to put on internet calling, which somehow allowed me to make calls but still not receive calls. I thought it may have been a glitch in the area my carrier needed to fix, but it wasn't. No one could understand why this phone was allowing me to call out but not receive calls in and they told me to factory reset the phone. I was hesitant but downloaded files and did as requested. No only did my phone not allow me to download files and restore but losing everything still did not fix whatever was preventing me from receiving calls. My daughter spent her money on this phone to do something nice for her mom. A twist of fate landed her homeless, which now now makes me feel like dirt because the money paid on this phone would have kept a roof over her head. No phone, No house, and no patience. I loved Samsung galaxy phones. They were all I have had for the last 10 years and now I am not so sure if I trust them.

I'm an apple user 100%, an as Apple user I rate this s23: 5*. For its price and quality. Its my 2nd android phone, last being Samsung note 3, and this phone is really good in all aspects. I haven't dealt any issue with it like running apps or any crashes. Everything runs smoothly and camera quality is excellent, even better than Apple phones.
It was really a nice change from the apple series and getting this android was a test to compare my apple phone. They are different but android provides more features than iphone does in my opinion. However the only thing the face recognition is not that great on the samsung, compared to phones that's quick. However I do like the fingerprint, and miss that feature on iphones.
For apple users, I say this is a pretty good phone. But like me who has apple watch, ipad pro, laptop, air pods, etc~ I say if you have all those, stick with apple phones since their compatible with one another. But if you don't have all those and you want to change up, go for s23.

Lastly, go for s23 then s24, if you're unsure as an apple user, s23 is still good and cheaper. There isn't much difference between them other than design and their Ai features, that s23 ( and other phone that are compatible too for the update) will get later on.
Ps I'm only saying this to Apple users who want to change from apple to android^

I go through alot of phones since I'm in a blue collar utilies job. Most would say I'm very hard on phones. I've tried alot of different phones over the years. I've always been partial to Motorola. Hence I cracked my last one all to pieces went to find a new one and the sales rep turned me on to the s23 and I found it to be very functional for my needs and decided to give it a try. Over the last 7 months of owning it, it has worked well and I've been happy with it. Yesterday around lunch time I was working around a 30 foot deep wet well and had my s23 on my belt in a otterbox case and holster which somehow became unlodged and fell in the well. It was at the bottom of the well under 6-8 feet of water 30 in the ground for about 24 before I retrieved it today after sucking the wet dry to fix a pump issue. I thought for sure all was lost but to my surprise and the surprise of all the crew working it was still up and running. Speakers are alittle on the shot side but are still auditable just slightly muffled sounding. Called it and it still rang and screen was completely still working. Everyone was amazed. Dried the charging port and proceeded to charge it back up from 20 % charge. This phone has absolutely amazed me considering what I have put it through the 36 hours. It has made a believer out of me. To me the s23 with an otterbox case and a tempered glass screen protector is indestructible from what I've seen.

I bought S24+ a week ago. The first thing I noticed is that it's slightly larger and heavier than my [very] old S10. However, the performance is nothing short of stunning. While I haven't had much time to really get into it, I noticed that the fingerprint sensor is lightning fast, the NFC works much better than before, and the apps are far more responsive and open much quicker.

Google Assistant integration is much more notable than before, but I'm not sure how useful this is [due to Google Assistant limitations].

Speech quality is amazing. During a phone call, you the other side is sharp, crisp, and perfectly clear. It's absolutely pointless to talk about image quality, because it's superb.

The sound [on external speaker] is actually a disappointment. On the old phone, when you flip it horizontally, you get this spacial, quasi-stereo effect, while S24+ sounds mono to me, and the quality of external speaker sound seems lower.

The other thing is the buttons. I really don't like that all buttons are now on the right hand side. Getting a screenshot is a bit fiddly now, when I need to simultaneously press two buttons on the same side of the phone.
