If you can get this handset for a decent price, it's a great value, especially the NA/Cdn model, which has a the Snapdragon soc. Stay away from the international versions, that come with the exynos chip. Mine is the Canadian version and it's a fantastic phone. We also have a the vanilla S23 in the family and this phone is just as good. If you like larger phones, this is the one to get, The regular S23 is a kind of small for me. Amazon was quick to deliver, I also got a security code which needed for the delivery person upon receiving the parcel. So no more dropping your package at the door, for someone else to steal it. Thanks Amazon for the extra layer of security. Was initially going to buy this from Bestbuy, but after what they did to me on my last phone order, I decided to come here instead. Make sure you are ordering a phone from Amazon and the transaction is fulfilled by Amazon, Not a third party vendor!
Good and bad: Not too many bad things I can think of, Maybe the weight of this handset, it's over 200-grams, so it's a hefty device. It also has rather thick bezzels, compared to the vanilla S23, but after installing a case, you won't see this much. Mine came in a generic box with pin and charger/cord. No scratches or dents either. Phone works fine and charges up in about 1hr with the 25w Samsung charger. Battery life is about 2 days under normal usage. You will like the camera! Takes excellent low-light pix and has an awesome 3x optical zoom lens, which can be used for portraits. It is also waterproof (IP68) so no more worries around the lake or pool. This phone also charges wireless, if you have a charger at home or in the car. Mine updated itself to OneUI 6.1 so now has all the latest OS and security updates, including the new AI features. No overheating issues either. I can highly recommend it.
