🤣😅. I'm still agonizing over colors! I do this almost every year!
gonna be easy for me... I never buy green, pink isn't my colour, beige looks icky so it's gonna be black🤣😅. I'm still agonizing over colors! I do this almost every year!
Black does look good but I have had so many black and space grey phones over the years. And after my deep black S21 Ultra, I can’t go with another black that’s not that pure black anymore. That color spoiled me. Badly. 😍
Samsung needs to bring that back every year.
I like pure white phones, too. But the cotton white is okay with me. It reminds me of iPhone Starlight which I like. I’m just not sure I like the sides.
And I don’t really like some previews where it looks beige. Then it reminds me of my paternal grandma’s wardrobe. She was a gorgeous blonde woman who resembled Christie Brinkley a little. And the times being what they were, it was expected that women past 45 style themselves age appropriately, which by standards today apparently meant as much like Sophia from Golden Girls as possible.
So this beautiful blonde had her hair cut and permed old lady style and wore beige skirts with beige sweaters when she was my age. The woman had killer legs even at age 99, too, by the way. Honestly I think I am rejecting the idea of beige for the sake of my grandma. Her favorite color was pink. Her and grandpa’s bedroom was done up with every shade of pure pink she could get her hands on. So, she should have rocked long hair and pink suits like Barbie. Anyway…sorry for the rant…moving right along…
My issue with the Lilac, though I think it’s gorgeous, is that it’s this in between color from what I can tell of leaked photos and videos. It’s too lavender to be pink. It’s too pink to be lavender. So it doesn’t go with anything I already have nor all of the wallpapers and cases I would want to use: basically nothing with brown or orange tones.
And half the time it looks almost white. But not white enough to go with all the cases and wallpapers I want to use.
Green is nice, but sometimes looks really grey. I’ve had so many phones that are supposed to be a certain color but just end up looking grey in most light. I’m not sure I want to do that again.
If there’s a really good red, well that might clash with a lot, but it is a statement color so I might be willing to make that statement…again. I have done it before. I might be willing to do it again. It depends on the red.
Still, I don’t want to really plan around exclusive colors that may take a long time to get or may be offered in limited configurations. I’ve waitlisted with Samsung before. It’s no fun.
It’s weird because I do think this year’s colors are attractive. Some people have said they’re ugly and I don’t think that. But looking at them gives me analysis paralysis in a blah way rather than an excited way of past years.
I don’t usually get so indecisive and weird about iPhone colors. It’s always the Samsung phones. They do my head in every time.
I really liked the silver with a hint of purple from my note 10+. It was subtle enough for me to be happy with but yet showed different colours in different lights.I would like the deep sea blue that was on the Note 8 to make a comeback
Advanced multiple controls between Galaxy Book and smartphone: Now you can use your Galaxy Book’s mouse, keyboard, or trackpad not only with your Galaxy tablet but also with your Galaxy smartphone. You can easily copy and paste text and drag and drop images from one device to another as if it were the same device. (1)
For me it depends on what Samsung are offering. If battery life is much improved, if they are offering a good trade in deal for my S22 Ultra (around £500 or more) then i will be in. Will they also be including Disney+ free for a year, like with the S22 Ultra and so on. It all depends.What’s your limit? I could maybe see £100 increase.
Not just 1080p AMOLED but high resolution Amoled!BREAKING: One UI 5.1 features leak ahead of Galaxy S23 launch
It was widely reported that Samsung would debut the Galaxy S23 series with Android 13-based One UI 5.1 onboard. A ...www.sammobile.com
Well, OneUI 5.1 has been leaked. i only seen one particular feature that was interesting.
It appears Samsung is mimicking Universal Control, but I’ve never seen many Galaxy Books in the wild nor really considered purchasing one. But rumors have it that upcoming Galaxy Books will have AMOLED screens… could see a marketing push for Samsung to get consumers to buy these.
I completely agree. I think the upgrades on the s23 and s23 plus are rather lackluster. The s23 ultra is the only one that is tempting. I have a plus model and I don't see myself upgrading to another plus and if it is super expensive to get the ultra than I will probably keep my s22 plus another year.For me it depends on what Samsung are offering.

Don't get me wrong OneUI 5 is pretty good and there are some things I like about it better than the Pixel but there are also a lot of things I don't like.
What I wish Samsung would do is instead of new features give the user more control over the apps. Let us uninstall any app we want not just disable it and ask us during setup IF we want to install any of the 3rd party apps like Facebook and Onedrive. Give us 5 years of OS updates and 7 years of security updates. Just those changes to the OS would make me upgrade.
Well with snapdragon 8 gen 2 and 12gb lpddr5 ram ufs 4.0 it should be smoother. At least the ultra variant. The plus/regular s23 has 8gb lpddr5 ram and same ufs 4.0 in the regular s23 you have to get extra storage to get the 4.0 ufs as Samsung doesn't make a 128gb ufs 4.0 module but Samsung doesn't charge too much for that.I used to hate oneui... really really did but after a break of a few years coming back to OneUI5 I've been really impressed by it.
Not as fluid with scrolling/animations as the pixel native but not bad enough to worry me and a lot more customisations which is important to me.
yeah agree with all that, I do really hate the duplicate samsung apps
But I’m not currently considering a Flip phone. I’ll think about it when the Z Flip 5 comes out. I don’t really need a flip phone exactly, but by the time the Z Flip 5 comes out I’ll have a better sense of where I stand with all these neurological issues and how much I’d value the way that display makes me feel, vs any other option in my life. Though who knows, I might hate the Z Flip 5 display.
Thank you for that perspective on it. That explains why so many people are clamoring for a larger external display.I Love the zflip format really do and I always get the latest to play with.... I guess it reminds me of my flip phones years ago thing is, years ago they weren't smart phones so the most that happened was a phone call in which case easy to flip open or text message. Now there are constant notifications, emails etc. and it's actually kinda inconvenient to not see very much on the external display and have to keep flipping it open, closing it then beep beep ARGGH flip open, answer, close... repeat.
I would like a proper red, not the same red as last years exclusive red on the S22 Ultra.The photos that were included in the tweet are purely speculative and were provided as reference:
So, the light blue and light green are only for the S23, S23+. Grey and Red are for the Ultras. Let's hope the latter are just fan art, because that red is washed out as heck. Grey is just...grey. That render makes me appreciate how nice the various Space greys have been over the years.
I agree. It's got to be a true red, not faded ketchup stain. But I do think someone simply faded last year's already off-red color.I would like a proper red, not the same red as last years exclusive red on the S22 Ultra.
yeah definitely black this yearI was not even considering black but after seeing that video I posted a link to, whoa, I'm interested! 😮
