I wish the clock and that empty space would not occupy all the notification area and I could have more toggles. (@ 6:00 minutes) I also use the SIM picker and with all that I only have 2 rows of buttons. I know GoodLock may help but it's just installs plugin over plugin and is annoyingly not worth it.
If you like gesture navigations but want to take them a step further, I'd recommend trying Samsung's own One Hand Operation+ app. Instead of just a swipe from the side being a back button, you get to set up to 12 different actions depending on which direction you swipe (up, across or down), whether you swipe fast or press+hold, and which side you swipe from. Being able to map back, home and recents just to side gestures, with room for even more actions on top of that, means I've been able to hide the navigation bar completely and it's such a clean look as a result.
@Bzake I'd disagree... I still my like mobile phones to be... Well mobile. Otherwise I'd use my tablet or laptop. I see many people flexing with Ultra, but for my lifestyle is just not a good fit :/
For split screen view, there is also an option to override the enforcement of full screen that some applications have. This is awesome, as many applications do not have any particular reason behind this limitation.
Thank you for making this video! I've had an iPhone 12 pro for the last two years. So I upgraded to the S23 for my birthday. It was a bit of a learning curve(I've used an iPhone for quite some time). But this video helped a ton!
That modes and routines section is basically the same idea with Nokia's profiles section which was a standard feature 25 years ago. We were able to preset a few profiles and then select one of them to easily change current settings.
One thing I really like about Android is the choice of navigation. I have been using gestures for a few years but recently went back to 3 button and I find it a little quicker and easier. If you have a favorite try the other for a week you might be surprised.
I've always used the gestures. I'm super paranoid about burn in so I don't like the button showings and for whatever reason it adjusts the resolution of some apps. Gestures just work better for me! Although with GoodLock there's multiple ways to customise it to add more gestures
Kudos to all the private app developers that developed all of these features that were only available when you could custom flash your old android phones to a new enhanced beta OS. Those people in the private community made all these features available to these newer android OS and UIs. Yup...those hackers that the big corporations despise that make their paid employees look like dummies. Many of these features were first available if you had the gumption to flash your phone and risk turning it into a brick. Thanks to those people, these things are now common on the new Android OS.
It seems setting the batteries that are only charges up to 85% is a good idea since most of these phones will be kept a long time, optimizing battery life is important that's one additional tip
Great video, very helpful! Regarding security settings and the factory reset after 20 attempts; I now turn this off if using fingerprints. I had no idea about this setting a few years back, turns out my phone was trying to unlock while in my pocket walking. Got to the office and my phone was wiped, including the micro SD card!! I had no clue what happened. Do not recommend this setting. There are ways to virtually wipe your phone if ever stolen.
I've just received a new S23 to replace my S21 and this video has been really useful! I suspect I did not get the best from the S21 but with this tutorial I should get much better from the S23. Many thanks.
@@aliselman4984not needed to be honest s21 is still a beast but yes if you want more power, battery and support for longer update you can choose s23 , I'm using s21 right now and didn't find any problem so far
Got mine a day back... In love with the size, actually wouldn't mind had it been a little smaller.. The cream colour is so beautiful.. Sold my iPhone 14 for this... Got a storage upgrade to 256GB and a better display and new phone obviously at almost the same price.. Just wish the camera doesn't disappoint in the long run due to shutter lag or weird colour reproduction...
@Mytiesa Clark I upgraded through their initial pre launch offer where at the price of 128gb they gave 256gb.. And iphone is expensive in India so it has a good resale value... Plus they had more schemes like additional discounts and bank offers... Got the regular s23... Love it so far... Reminds me of my s8...
Hey man, a great and usefull video for sure! I recently upgraded to the S23 from my old iPhone 7 and I am very exited to say the least, as One UI 6 came out with even more features. Just wondering whether the phone on the video is the S23 or the S23+. Thanks again for the awesome work.
You know what? Having a Samsung smartphone is such peace of mind. Life becomes easier. The phone is a great help every inch of the way. A lifelong Samsung devotee.
Great video .Suggestions : Most items you covered are redundant from previous Android versions .What i was looking for is the new features in the S23 . One item which is still puzzling me is the icon re-arrangements on the home screen which is different on the S23
Can you explain Airplane Mode? What should I do when training to avoid roaming fees? Thanks for all the handy tips. I'll adapt some of them on my new phone.
Dion: A lot of good info. You are well versed; however you made the same mistake many techies do, you guys talk way too fast! Despite pausing and rewinding; I was not able to get much of the info or even understand it. You have to understand many people in your age bracket know most, if not, all this info. There’s a large group of us (Baby Boomers) who were weaned on rotary phone. I now have a Galaxy S23+, after turning in my Galaxy 7 edge. You need to determine if you are trying to educate or impress. Either one is OK. I’m very impressed. It’s good to know there are people like you, well versed, to insure there’s going to be a future (hopefully a safe one) for all of us. Thank you.
HI Ed, first of all thank you of writing to me and give me your straightforward feedback. in the second place I am not in the business of impressing, as you indirectly imply. I am building my business and making guides is part of this. I indeed love sharing my knowledge as we all have our strengths and weaknesses in life and yes, I do know a thing or two about these topics. Concerning presentation, be assured that this a constant point of attention from my side. Because of earlier comments I already slowed down considerably, but there is a limit to it, as it should be comfortable for me as well. Many viewers (is my impression) appreciate my present speed of talking, but some, like you, not. A very practical solution is to go to settings (below the video, the “wheel”, tick presentation speech and put it on 0.75. I sound a bit robotic then, but it is slower indeed. And thanks again, best Dion
@@DionMedia Thank you very much for understanding and tolerating a grumpy old man (I'm 75 yrs old). I will try your suggestion. Keep up the good work. I did subscribe to your site.
This is one of THE BEST reviews from the perspective of anyone looking to switch to a Samsung Phone. Thanks for reviewing the base 23 model rather than the Ultra.✌️✨
Same here, turning in the S9+ once the 23+ comes from my order today. S9+ have me 5 good years but at the end, I had to use ear buds to have conversations and any charging cord would not stay in the port.
@@mcdonagh05 same, s9+ is the first phone that lasted me 5 years, i had to charge it wirelessly for the last year since usb disconnected from the motherboard and the repair wasn't worth the price. S9 was a great phone, i dropped it soooo many times
I have used Samsung my whole life n I love seeing vids like this it would be dope to win the iPhone just to see what I'm missing out on the iPhone side.
Absolutely, been very happy. Use it for shooting movies, homework, movies, taking snaps, games and musicbut the speaker phone is not very loud compared to the iphone or ultra but does the job@@badribrahmia90
S23 Battery drain very soon. Per day we should charge 3 times Minimum.....otherwise very good performance and very comfortable....last very important one is have heating issue.....
In modes and routines, if you have auto sleep mode on, but a couple of times a month you’re working night shifts and need to be available for calls, if you activate work mode on those days does it override the auto sleep do not disturb?
Can you select for which output should be Dolby Atmos turned on? On my current phone I had to keep it off, because on one hand it improves speaker sound, but on the other I don't want it to mess with my headphones.
Thanks for your compliment. I have other videos on the S23, also in comparison with the Iphone 14. A brief answer: battery is good and so is the camera.
Been iPhone user for some time and really considering switching to s23 now… it is much more customizable and have better display too…. Ithink Apple is not good that they put new features only for pro iPhone s and regular 14 still does have that notch eg….
Dislike the sideswipe motion when swiping between open pages or apps, it has this weird point where you have to use force to make the transition happen, it's a threshold, or else it just bounce back. Can't see any settings for this swipe interaction. I have two other Galaxy phones where this is smooth and painless, but on S23 something weird is happening.
Great video. I just got my s23 two days ago and I will like it. Honestly it's lot better them my old s21. Thanks for the tips as well, some of them I didn't even know about. 👍
Torn between s23 and the plus! Coming from an s10+ my 1st instinct was that im wanting a smaller phone. But im worried i will miss the faster charging, battery life and larger screen of the s23+!
Do you have any S23 tips or tricks to add? 🤔
Bro you forgot to talk about aod(always on display) like adding gif,images n clocks there.
Performance mode
Absolutely 🤗
I don't like the size

I will get one too
I got one today ❤

Me toooooo
s23 is a sweet spot in the largely 'big beasts'.
@Bzake yes it's small but palm friendly 🤞
@Bzake I'd disagree... I still my like mobile phones to be... Well mobile. Otherwise I'd use my tablet or laptop.
I see many people flexing with Ultra, but for my lifestyle is just not a good fit :/
I bought it because it's size, I'm so tired of tablet sized phones.
Only bad thing is battery. Reason why I upgraded to S23 plus from S20
Only if it had better battery life
For split screen view, there is also an option to override the enforcement of full screen that some applications have. This is awesome, as many applications do not have any particular reason behind this limitation.

Yeah I've never used the gestures 🤣🤣
Gestures is the fastest way to use a phone. Pixel and Samsung let you go back by swiping from the left screen
Couldn't agree more
3 button navigation is just so damn ugly lol.
I've always used the gestures. I'm super paranoid about burn in so I don't like the button showings and for whatever reason it adjusts the resolution of some apps. Gestures just work better for me! Although with GoodLock there's multiple ways to customise it to add more gestures
Watching this while waiting for my S23. Great video!
Enjoy!

Been using this phone for a week now. I probably be won't upgrading in a couple of years. Worth every penny!
Dude it will give best for more than 5 yrs
Great tips, just purchased an S23+ and cant wait to try all these suggestions 🙂

How do you do that?

Regarding security settings and the factory reset after 20 attempts; I now turn this off if using fingerprints. I had no idea about this setting a few years back, turns out my phone was trying to unlock while in my pocket walking. Got to the office and my phone was wiped, including the micro SD card!!

Can you customise this many things on an iPhone? I don't know what to buy between s23 and iPhone 14 pro
Hi Horia, that is a difficult choice indeed. Excellent phones, both of them S23 has more customization possibilities
Can you select for which output should be Dolby Atmos turned on? On my current phone I had to keep it off, because on one hand it improves speaker sound, but on the other I don't want it to mess with my headphones.
You can only do it with apps, so maybe set like Spotify or music app not do it and the rest of the phone will do it
I have the note 10. Everything works fine, im wondering is it worth upgrading to this?

No, I am not sure, but I do not think so.
Just what I needed! Liked!
I like the swipe navigation but I miss the back button. :(
