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.

Haha, you're right! Doi! Of course you're not using the official app!

Okay yeah, makes sense. It was the same situation for me too, I use Boost and just the amount of time using it took a lot of power.

I'd recommend the phone honestly, it's really worth the price. Especially with the deals they have for the 512 at the price of the 256, but the 512 has more RAM.
