Best purchase I made in…

So happy I bought this phone, as a long time user of Samsungs in the past a few years ago I thought I would try another brand as the specs looked great, big mistake and so glad to finally be back on a Samsung.
As soon as I received the phone and had it in my hand and used it I knew the build quality has not gone downhill at all but actually improved, full metal making it feel very sturdy and durable. It is a great size screen (handy for someone with aging eyes like myself lol).
I wasn't looking forward to spending time transferring everything from my old phone but I didn't need to worry. As soon as I switched the phone on and it started the setup it asked if I wanted to transfer my data from my old phone, simply connected the old and new phone using a lightning to C-USB cable and away it went and transferred everything I told it to, pictures, videos, sms, contacts, app including Whatsapp and Line etc (Could have used Wifi or Bluetooth instead of cable).
A week later I am still so happy for getting the S23 FE, I continue to notice the differences between my old Samsung S10 and my previous phone and the new S23 - The screen quality is so much better it is clearer, crisper and has a more true colour, noticeable when watching TV/Films or looking at high quality photos.
The speed of opening, switching and running apps is so much faster and smoother and mobile games I play (such as Kings of Avalon) open much faster and the sensitivity and scrolling speed is much better.
One of the reasons I switched to my old phone was because of the specs of its cameras and the photo and video quality, they looked impressive and that the photos would be spectacular, well they weren't ! No matter what settings I tried and the conditions they always looked pretty dull and zooming in became very grainy. The first pics I took on the S23 without making any adjustments to the settings was much better, brighter, clearer, more depth to the photo and I could zoom in a lot further before it started to get grainy!
Sound - the sound on the old phone can be pretty quiet and soft, and even at full volume it could be hard to hear in a big room, thankfully the sound on the S23 is much louder (without loosing any quality) so another thumbs up.
If like me (used to) you made your choice on impressive looking specs STOP ! The S23 FE has slightly lower specs - but still pulls a punch at a 3rd of the cost.
