S23 base is laggier than s23u and gets really hot

[Rio3505]

Recently got an s23 (I bought the plus but got the base model) and I can thrlp but notice it's hoyltter than Any exynos samsung all the time

Temps are always 60 to 70 c and battery 40c

Aldo in games it lags more than the S23u significantly even at 1080p

If you bought the S23+ but received the S23, your first priority should be getting the right phone sent to you.

As for the S23 Family, I thought all were snapdragon apart from the S23 FE?

Hi,
The S23/S23+/S23 Ultra use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 worldwide. As @carguy143 rightly pointed out, only the FE variant uses the exynos 2200 (international) Snapdragon Gen 1 for USA.

I'd definitely check which handset you actually received.

@Rio3505  certainly check  that the model is different from the one ordered.  if so then the product is not as described and needs to be sorted out.  if by any chance  you wish to keep the S23 in such a scenario you would be due a Refund.  However  I am sure you would be much happier with the Plus,as a matter of interest where did you purchase the Device?

They are all snapdragon but the s23 base seems slower than the others. Also I got the s23 at £365 thinking it was the plus version but I like the form factor

[Rio3505]

8 gen 2 but it runs very very hot the battery sucks and there is more lag than the s23u

Apologies, I thought the reference to the exynos was you saying your device had it. Was worried in case you received the FE variant in error.

I was asking about the store/site actually.

Back market. Not to be confused with black market obviously but it was refurbished since a brand new one costs so much
