From Realme to Real Pain

[rayeesah]

Switching from Realme to Samsung felt like upgrading… until reality hit harder than my phone on a tiled floor. My 6-year-old Realme is still going strong—great battery, smooth performance, no complaints. Meanwhile, I spent ₹70,000 on the Galaxy S23, expecting a spaceship and got a bullock cart.

The phone doesn’t feel premium—it feels more like a demo piece from 2019. The UI lags like it’s on a tea break, it's still chilling on Android 14 while Google is out here beta-testing Android 16. And the battery? I’ve bonded more with my charger than my friends lately—charging it 4 times a day like it’s a newborn baby needing attention every few hours.

Honestly, I expected a flagship. What I got was a flag… with a tiny ship.

You should've bought the S23 Plus model.
Indeed, battery don't last that long. The screen size is also small. But please don't say that it's hanging. I also own one. It don't hang. Sometimes yes, it heats up a lot. But never saw a lag.

I use it as my primary phone. And I don't use it that much. Only have samsung and Google apps. No third party app. Use it only for browsing, calling, and WhatsApp purposes. And I think it's enough for this phone. I tried gaming, But the screen size is too small and battery is even smaller.

So, i think you should get a better phone for your purposes. Consider upgrading or buy a secondary phone.

Best wishes ❤😊
