Samsung S23 or A55 ?

[blr_p]

Which to get?

Or

https://www.amazon.in/Samsung-Awesome-Iceblue-Storage-Nightography/dp/B0CWPCFSM3/

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

Updated to latest version in the evening, no bugs so far. Feels a little snappier than before.

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

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?

Spoiler

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.

A green screen will show a red or pink line

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
