@Home_in_BKK Of course it's not the same phone, but they're also very similar in a lot of ways. The biggest improvements this year are the camera system, including the front facing camera, and the new Snapdragon 8 gen 2 Chipset. And they're both a fairly significant upgrade. Slightly redesigned on the outside, and the glass is now Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The screen brightness goes up to 1750 nits. These are all good upgrades year over year. Edit. Forgot to add, the battery is slightly larger too. This, paired with a new, mo efficient chipset, should give it a much better battery life. Overall, you will still get a very similar Samsung experience. You're not going to pick it up and feel like you're exploring something completely new, but it's not meant to be. It's an evolution.

@Malinda Ray I've never heard of that brand either. Is Samsung SSD better than "Consistent"? Yes. Samsung SSDs are considered to the the best in the world, with only a couple of other brands matching their quality and reliability, but "Consistent" is not one of those. You said there is no RAM? Unless there is some built-in, non removable RAM, it should not be possible. Your computer won't boot into Windows without RAM. Finally, based on your description, I would definitely suspect that the questionable SSD is the problem, but might also be RAM, if it is there and it's Intex, another brand I've never heard of.

Maybe we all got spoiled by those crazy trade-in offers over the years, and it might serve as a reminder that we don't really have to buy a new, expensive, phone every year (or if you're like me, every 6 months). Realistically, a flagship device should be relevant for at least 3-4 years, but I'm not here to judge, as I'm one of the worst offenders when it gets to frequent phone upgrades. Have to admit.

@Tiaza Macro photography is the term you're looking for. I haven't tried it myself on the S23, but my Fold4, which has the same camera system as the S22, takes very good Macro shots. The trick there is instead of bringing your phone very close to a subject, you need to hold it a few inches away, and zoom in closer to it from the camera app. A phone will authomatically switch to the best camera for a specific shot. The preview on the screen might not look too great, but it will give you an idea on where the image looks the sharpest, then once you take it, the AI will do some magic and it should come out looking much clearer, sharper and brighter. In other words. The S23 camera should be great for your use case.

@nadolguna Very possible as they state the delivery date is February 17, and in fact we usually get them a few days sooner if pre-ordered early on. Things like this can never be guaranteed, but judging by current delivery estimates, you should be fine.

@dortyboy It's a trade-in, and it's basically in line with the rest of the industry. Samsung was an outlier with their insane trade-in deals and pre-order bonuses. Looks like now it's time for them to pull back a bit, but as far as trade-ins go, they were never meant to give you more money than you would get by selling it yourself.

@worstphoneever A trade-in value is not a measure of depreciation. Yes, android phones don't hold their value in US as well as iPhones, but it's not because they're not as good, it's just for some reason more people want them iPhones. It's sad, but in reality, these current trade-in offers are actually very reasonable, for a trade-in (when compared with what Apple of Google do, or god forbid, Best Buy). The problem is, of course, the fact that Samsung had spoiled us, over the ears. I'm an ammbasador, and I'm not saying it to desperage them, but I know it will come off as a backhanded compliment. Samsung has treated us too well over the years, so when they try to fall back to where the rest of the industry is, it's much more noticeable and shocking to users. And fall back they must. The world is experiencing a major global inflation right now. Everything is costing more, and these costs will continue to go up. They could have raised their prices, or try to save money somewhere else.

@userUi3rxDshkN I don't know if I want to say if anyone needs or doesn't need more ram, I personally like to see as much as possible in my computers (and these phones are some of the best computers we all have), but overall I have to agree, virtually no one can tell the difference in real life scenarios between 12 or 16. Plus, you have an option to add more with RAM Plus. I assume it'll still be in these new phones. It won't be quite as fast, but you can use up to 8GB of your main storage as additional RAM.

Well, as disappointing as it may seem to some, simply based on prior experiences, it's still a pretty good deal. And they give you a storage upgrade, and maybe even some accessory credit if you pre-registered. What other manufacturer is giving any incentives like these? I can totally understand wanting to vent, but to say you're done with Samsung? I mean it's your choice, but makes me wonder, who do you believe will treat you better?

Apple gets more because their market share in the US is still around 50%. Samsung loves its users and wants them to get a better deal whenever they can, but if you look at the big picture, they REALLY NEED more iPhone users switching over to Samsung. There are not too many people buying their first smartphone anymore (in the US for sure), mostly children when they're old enough to have one, and it's not enough. And if their parents have iPhones, they will of course get an iPhone too. So virtually the only way any phone manufacturers can grow anymore is by converting users from other brands, and higher trade-in value is meant to help with that.

@NaturallyFound I don't know what device you're using, I assume something with Android. If it was me, I'd just download the app from the app store, make sure it's updates, then delete. It's possible that it's on the device, just disabled or hidden. We could try to go over ways to look for it to enable, but the easiest way is to find it in the app store, and if it's on the phone, instead of install it will say "enable".

@JMSmucker Hm. Interesting suggestion. I actually do that with one game that I play, Lords Mobile, but in order for it to work, I downloaded a copy from the Play Store, and another one from Galaxy Store (a perfect example why it's actually OK to have 2 different app stores with many of the same apps). I can see how it can be useful in some cases. So...+1.

@KeithEpps I use an S Pen Fold Edition with my Fold 4, and used it with Fold 3 for over a year before, almost every time I use the inside screen. I just keep one by my bed, another one on my computer desk and one in the car. I have one of those S Pen cases too, but it makes the phone a bit too bulky IMO, so I don't use it. As long as it's a right S Pen, it will not damage your screen in any way. 100% safe. And really, the phone will yell at you and not allow you to use a wrong one, so it's pretty much impossible to do it on accident. They were designed for use with an S Pen, and it works very well.

Just another external drive? Plug both into a computer at the same time, open the T5, select the data you want to copy, then open the second drive, and paste. That's the easiest way. Opens in new window PDF Download Word Download Excel Download PowerPoint Download Document Download

Has it been advertised or stated anywhere that a second SSD can be added? If you opened it up and don't see an M.2 port, it probably doesn't have it. They don't usually hide them, if there is expendability, it should be easily accessible. Opens in new window PDF Download Word Download Excel Download PowerPoint Download Document Download

@KFCBucket Honestly, I don't think it's possible to truly charge from 2 ports at the same time, there should be some protections built in to only use one in situations like these. Are you comfortable opening your laptop? One thing you can try is open the back (bottom) of the laptop, and carefully unplug the battery cable from the motherboard. Then, flip it over and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds. Plug the battery back in, and try starting it, or charging. This process should drain all remaining power from the system, and reset CMOS, which can help in a lot of weird situations. If not, since you said you bought it recently, you can reach out to Samsung for support or warranty.

@wolfmandim Maybe try cloning your system disk to it using the Samsung Magician software? I was able to install Windows 11 and use a 990 Pro 1TB as a boot drive just fine in my system. I have an ASUS TUF Gaming DDR4 motherboard. I've used the Magician to clone drives before, and it always worked perfectly for me.

@JohnCoool I have always had good, consistent results with Samsung drives. There is a reason they're one of the top, if not the very top, SSD manufacturers in the world. I think you'll be happy with them.

@Kevad The ssd will fit, and should work, the only concern I would have is that the 980 Pro is a PSIe Gen4 drive, and those guys can get pretty warm. Plus, I don't think your laptop supports Gen4 speeds anyway, so If you already have a drive, it should still work, but it will be limited to Gen3 speeds. And if not, maybe consider a nice Gen3 drive, like a 970 Evo Plus or 970 Pro. There is a new Gen3 drive called SSD 980, so a higher number might make it appear to be better, but it's really not. Reviews are pretty bad. I was very happy with a 970 Evo Pro in a Razer Blade 13 laptop in the past.

@Calrissian327 Samsung 2GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory 240pin PC3-10600U 1333MHz Fairly old to be honest, not sure how much demand there is. They appear to go for around $8-9 per pair, based on the most recent sale on eBay, which was just yesterday actually (with free shipping, so the seller probably made around $3): https://www.ebay.com/itm/155316494589?epid=141717502&hash=item242995a0fd:g:K-wAAOSw3nBjn7V9&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsBEMoB%2FXxfAHBrBwS9C9HG7YmHp5%2FlgrfZhJbeZrhow4wTnfbXmXy%2B8G3eKgBRY9w2doZitIe2WLyJ2tF%2BHDWIqZnKpfL4GspPwVnk2dSSLvJVy8ubH%2BOxUVzIRXG7U7ET%2Bf0px7FM8zP%2B5wYXxKnP82tnByWDA0MoctrieHoiLKgJDYt5IoqKpzscnAiTY3WwZkptYLJB17y2NZBa2cixRPKTNFqVQcLy8F0NZoQUVo%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-D-9_qxYQ

@Neislerw I've noticed it too, with Google Home app, and since it's only doing it with those Google apps, it probably makes sense to report the issue to Google. It's not bothering too much, because the Home app doesn't need to be open for me to receive my Nest Cameras notifications, so I just close it when I'm not actively using it.

@wingdam Not an exact same TV, but I have 3 different Samsung TVs, they all have a USB port on the back (some have more than 1), and I used it to play content from a flash drive, so yes, it can be used as media storage. If it's something you might want to use a lot, you can get a USB extension cable.
