The brightness of the screen
The full interface (maybe even too much)
The performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
Improved autonomy compared to the S22
The new high-quality selfie sensor
The audio experience with headphones
It feels like home!
The price increase that is not really justified
The accuracy of the colorimetry in slight decline
The heating of the platform when it is solicited
The twenty applications installed by default, including some duplicates
Charging is really too slow for such a small battery...
... Especially since there is no suitable charger in the box
The lack of control of light in photography
