Samsung Galaxy S23 series

[kashix]

Now that iPhone 14 Pro Max cannot turn off HDR when taking photos, is S23 ultra also to turn off HDR for taking pictures?

What casing are u all using?

I bought ringke fusion and spigen hybrid.

Will be using spigen hybrid with the black borders

512gb or 1tb?

bobo samsung tell me 3 march

512GB

probably they have limited ready stock for each size & colours, once out of stock, have to make to order

Finally got my S23 Ultra 512GB in Graphite!

Went to paste matte film on the screen at MobileHardware and it's a nice fit. I had Whitestone on my S21 Ultra but I hated the fingerprints over time fingerprint sensor is much more sensitive when your fingers or thumbs is wet or when it's very dry. Got a cheap case to use while waiting for my dbrand case to arrive.

Those who already reveived Ultra, hows the Camera?
I am currently using Pixel 7 Pro, not sure if I should switch or stick to Pixel 7 Pro and wait for Pixel 8 Pro.

Honestly speaking. When tested the s23u. The camera is a bit underwhelming as compared to the p7p.

Not just muddy output, the shutter lag is something not great if you gonna photograph kids or pets running around. Or perhaps a fast moving object.

Another point is, even the current zoom quality, it has more room to improve on sharpening. It's rather soft as compared to p7p.

If you are buying the s23u just for the camera. You will be disappointed that the p7p does better.

So don't make camera as your buying decision. You will wanna keep the p7p instead. But do consider things like, faster storage, faster SoC, faster ram and better screen over on s23u. Basically the pros outweigh the cons if you choose to go over to the s23u.

I'm certainly keeping the p7p till the next line up arrives. Or perhaps the better sd8g2+ arrives at the 3/4 of this year. Or perhaps iphone 15 decides to push out a newer and better SoC.

show the skyblue...my wife ask me to get this skyblue, but i think a bit too girlish leh.

Looks similar to iPhone 13 pro sierra blue but lighter shade, one reason why I get sky blue cos I like the sierra blue

Looks like better to cancel the order and wait for Pixel 8 Pro
