Upgraded from S10+ to S23U (self.galaxys23ultra)

Had the S10+ for a long time and was really happy with it, but I was bitter with Samsung and Android in general because of the low support life, lack of a good eco-system, and lack of in person stores to visit when you have legitimate issues.

I tried Apple for two weeks, and came back. Mainly, the user experience is designed to be used as a happy path user, and you must not stray away from that. I dislike that and appreciate customization.

I looked around for other devices but the S23U really did it for me. Found one at BestBuy as an open box, but it was brand new. Discounted it by ~$350 with the 5% on CC as well.

So far, it's been great. Speed, plenty of RAM, great display, great battery life, excellent camera. Sometimes the camera pictures do look a bit off, like they've gone through processing too much, but for the most part they're good.

There are times where I am zoomed in and I see that the image is being processed. After it is done, the one captured is different than the one processed. Bit annoying and I think they could do better in enhancing that, but I've not had a single bad picture and usually I really like the outcome. Even the iOS users prefer it.

Came from a similar experience. Had the note 10+ and loved it. Did not have much motivation to upgrade to the current flagships but I finally decided to treat myself to something for once and got an upgrade. I'm pretty happy with it and no regrets, it's like a slight upgrade with some wonderful updates. Probably going to rock this for a whole again.
