    Samsung Galaxy S23 Phones

    Just curious if anyone else has chosen to pre-order the new Galaxy S23 series phone? I'm a fan of their Note series and decided this was the year to upgrade my Galaxy Note 10+ and get a Galaxy S23 Ultra. I hate saying goodbye to my microSD card slot but I no longer get system updates on my phone and thought it was time for the upgrade. Mostly interested in the upgrades to the camera tech on the phone. Hopefully it will prove well worth the upgrade!

    I'm upgrading from a Note 20 Ultra to the S23 Ultra in 1TB and Sky Blue color. I too will miss the microSD slot since I frequently swap out memory cards. My pre-order package is with the Galaxy Watch 5 and the Buds Pro 2. Why not?

    The microsd is why I dont plan on upgrading my s20 any time soon. The DW has a s22 and loves it. Really the only reason why I would even contemplate an upgrade is if the battery starts going south.... then, maybe? But, I read somewhere that some have been able to install bigger batteries..... might have to weigh it out then. Besides, with tech being what it is, and the fact I used my S9 for so long before uping to my s20, I will wait till they improve bandwidth tech on phones and especially towers before dumping more money into another brick. Hate buying promising tech with less than promising usage results for just a few more bells and whistle software gimicks.

    Had the original BLAZING FAST iPhone 3 when it first came out that turned out to be my first learned mistake at not waiting for impulse buyers to test it out first..

    We pre-ordered Zfold4s last Sep upgrading from our ancient s7s (mine was an edge which I really liked). A lot of apps would no longer run on our s7s. Bigger screen is easier for us to read. They also came with the watch and buds. The noise canceling on the buds is really very good - I was surprised as I always had over the ear noise cancelling earphones when flying. Also enjoying the watch. All in all, a very good combination.

    Wife originally wanted one of them when we got her s22, but we opted to skip it because of some screen issues.... have you heard or experienced any?

    I had read some with the initial production overseas had some issues but supposedly that was corrected before distribution in the U.S. We haven't had any issues. They came with a factory screen protector on the inner large screen and a case with stand and pen.

    We are trading in our S22 Ultras for the S23 Ultras. We're getting $1000 trade in credits per phone, so it was a simple decision to pay 200 bucks for a new top-tier phone. We love the S22, and as long as the S23 is at least as good, it'll be a great phone. The photography is insane for a phone and actually does better pre-processing photos than my Nikon dSLR (except for the telephoto aspect, but the optical and digital zoom on the S22 was surprisingly good).

    When Samsung folding phone technology improves a bit and comes with the S-pen imbetted (I use the S-Pen a lot), I'll probably go that route.

    I got my S23 Ultra and tried some zoom capability pics. I was holding the phone in my hand taking pictures. Granted not the clearest pictures but pretty impressive I thought.
