Hi everyone, I’m very new here and I only joined for this purpose im sorry, but I’ve recently bought the S23FE because of black friday not knowing about how the s22 is cheaper and a better phone (costs in New Zealand)

I saw a few posts here about it saying its a disappointment and now im panicking, I’m a teenager and my family doesn’t have all too much money to spend and I’ll have to use this phone for at least 3 years.

Please help!

Also I wasn’t sure if this was a support thread post but if it is im sorry, im just really worried right now

    You gotta realize that reddit is a bit of an echo chamber. People arguing that the S23FE is terrible cuz its 0.5% worse than the S22 in some very specific aspect. Any Samsung S series phone of the past 2-3 years will serve you just fine.

    Well… yea, S22 is better in all aspects EXCEPT battery and screen size. Just imagine being only able to have 2.5 to 4 hours SOT. If you can live with that, then continue panicking. If not, then calm down and enjoy your S23 FE.

    I read a ton of posts and articles telling me to get an s23 ultra or wait till the s24 but I still got the base s23 and have absolutely loved it even as a power user I haven’t even gotten close to it’s limits

    I mean s23 fe isn’t a bad phone. Think about it like s23 plus but not absorbently expensive.

    I have the s23 and it’s been terrible that I’m going back to using the s21. There are so many issues with this phone that none of my other prior Samsung’s didn’t have.

    Charging port doesn’t seem to hold plugs very well, and the overnight charge didn’t work, and yes I’ve tried many chords And all of those cords work on my other phones.

    Sometimes people have trouble hearing me. Call quality is subpar. None of my other prior phones ever had that issue.

    Photos for some reason start duplicating themselves and Samsung’s tech support accidentally deleted the wrong ones so I lost years of photos.

    Internet speed is not that good. I find that I go back to my old phone or tablet and use that one.

    Phone is not even 5 months old yet Wishing I’d never bought it…
