SAMSUNG Galaxy S23 FE AI Phone, 128GB

Upgrading from an S10e, so it's not hard to impress me, I guess, though I knew what I was looking for in a new phone. So far it's very good, though I keep having to get used to how much bigger and heavier it is than my old one. Love the color. Much faster processing than my old one and much bigger battery life, but again, that's not hard, haha. So far no issues. Big screen is much easier to read on. I'm still a bit thrown by how big all the app icons are and that you can't make them smaller to fit more on one page but that's whatever. ***Update a few months in: I do wish the camera lenses on the back were integrated into a single flat panel and/or flush with the case like the S20 FE and other models, as it makes it harder to protect them and keep the surrounding area clean. I am always anxious about how I'm storing my phone due to this (though certain cases may protect them better). With the weight of an added decenrly protective case, however, the phone can feel quite heavy after awhile and tire your wrists and fingers. The price of a nice big screen, I suppose. No overheating/cpu overload issues so far even with terribly coded apps like Spotify. Biggest con imo is the removal of the audio jack. I don't plan on getting wireless earbuds bc I don't want more batteries to deal with and I haven't bought usb-c earbuds yet so rn I'm using a usb-c to audio jack adapter which is problematic for 2 reasons: 1) you can't charge it at the same time (though I've seen split adapters that let you do this—not sure of their charge speed or audio quality though), and 2) at least with an adapter (not sure if ubiquitous connector issue), as it is a data connection rather than a simple 3mm jack, you can hear the "fuzz" (like an old record) of the data flow through the wire connection quite audibly at all times. An audiophile's nightmare.
