Which to get?


Or


Both S23 (8GB+256) & A55 (8GB+256) for 43k

For 3k more you can get the A55 with12GB+256

Both will get four OS upgrades but the A55 starts at 14 whereas the S23 launched with 13

The A55's battery will beat galaxy S+ (let alone S) models for half the price if you accept a slightly less capable camera.

Did I mention the A55 comes with a microSD slot.

It's possible the A55's price will reduce further but the S23 might not be available later.

I'm also wondering whether the FK S23 offer can be trusted as Amazon can't match it for much more?

And Samsung wants 70k on their site for the same specs S23

Seems the S23 or the Ultra isn't immune to this green/pink line issue :cry:

Within the warranty period, Samsung will replace the screen for free. Presuming they don't put the blame on you by saying you dropped it.

Early detection?
A simple way to check if a pink or green line is forming but too faint to see is to use opposing colours. The app makes it easier to pick a colour to illuminate the full screen.

A red or pink screen will show a green line if it's too faint to see.

Outside the warranty period, they want to be paid. Unless, you get on X and post there (see attached, assuming it's the same guy) . After that it seems they waive the screen cost but there is still the service charge which I expect would be minimal

Samsung S23 Green line issue

I am experiencing a serious issue with my Samsung Galaxy S23. A green line has suddenly appeared on the display, and it is persistent regardless of the content on the screen. This issue occurred without any physical damage, water exposure, or misuse of the device. It seems to be a hardware or...

Oneplus is better at handling the green line issues IMO.

One UI 7 is making me fall in love with Samsung all over again

After several delays, Samsung has released the One UI 7 beta for the Galaxy S24 series, and we've gone hands on to put it through its paces.

Decided to backup the phone to a Samsung external portable 1TB

Settings - Accounts & Backup - External Storage Transfer

Backup everything option selected

It went through and calculated around 78GB odd to backup and it would take and hour and a half.

Took just ten minutes to complete to transfer that amount.Thanks to the thick USB c cable provided with the drive.

Drive only got a bit warm during the backup.

The only thing to remember here is a restore requires logging into your Samsung account with it's password.

Few days back the March security update dropped. Installed just fine.

I'm hearing that the beta of one ui 7 saves more battery on the S23 than before.

I don't know how much more room for improvement there is here as the idle drain rate on one ui 6 is pretty good already. Around 0.5%/h.

For some reason I feel those on the 128GB storage variant are worse off battery wise than those with the 256GB variant. If that's the case then it will make a difference for these people
