Is it time for an upgrade
I've had the S23 base model for two and a half years so far, and without a doubt, the phone has been great. The only problem for me is the 128GB storage.
I was thinking of upgrading to the S26 Ultra, but I don't think the money is worth it for almost no changes. The camera quality doesn't matter to me.
Any recommendations on what I should do?

One UI 8.5 not having AirDrop is just ridiculous
Let’s be honest and call out Samsung for what this really is: Planned Obsolescence.
With the latest update rollout, it’s officially confirmed that the Galaxy S23 series is being left out of the new Google-backed "AirDrop compatibility" feature for Quick Share. Samsung wants us to believe it’s a "hardware limitation" or that it requires newer chipsets. But that is a complete lie.
Here are the facts:
The Hardware is More Than Capable: The S23 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, featuring the FastConnect 7800 subsystem. It fully supports Wi-Fi 7 tech, Multi-Link Operation (MLO), and advanced peer-to-peer networking.
The Technical Reality: Google's reverse-engineered AWDL (Apple Wireless Direct Link) protocol runs on Rust. It requires robust chipset-level firmware tuning to handle dual-identity scanning (Android + iOS) simultaneously. The 8 Gen 2 has plenty of horsepower to handle this without breaking a sweat.
So why is the S23 excluded while the S24 and S25 get it?
It’s not because the S23 can't do it; it's because Samsung and Google refuse to allocate the engineering resources to optimize the firmware for an older chip. They are intentionally gatekeeping a massive, decrease quality-of-life feature to force S23 users to upgrade to newer models.
We paid flagship prices for the S23, and the hardware inside it is still a beast. Being left in the dust just for artificial product differentiation is incredibly frustrating.
What do you guys think? Is anyone else planning to hold onto their S23, or is this the kind of anti-consumer move that makes you want to jump ship?

Oneui 8.5 on S23
Hello good people!!
The oneui 8.5 craze is ongoing. Who installed here? I'm still on 7.0 (downgraded from 8).
Should I update to 8.5? Let's discuss!

About the new SIM Signal bar icons
After updating the device to OneUI 8.5, the first thing I noted is the signal bar, it's mimicking iOS but this is not about that, I have two SIMs , so shouldn't it show two signal bars or am I getting this wrong.
Another thing is the UI inconsistency, when I swipe the notification bar, there it shows the old signal bar.

We need to push Samsung to bring the Quick Share AirDrop feature to the S23 Ultra!
Honestly, it's ridiculous that One UI 8.5 is basically just a reskin for us. The newer devices get the new Quick Share AirDrop compatibility, but the S23 Ultra gets left out? The hardware can obviously handle it.
I shoot a ton of raw photos, and being able to drop them straight to my friends' iPhones without compression would be huge.
We need to flood the Samsung Members app and email support. They’ve backported features before when people actually complained. Who's in?

No blur in My files, OneUI 8.5
Hello everyone, even after the update of one ui 8.5 do you notice that My Files does not have blur in the new gray blocks (which for me are horrendous)?
I've seen several screenshots online and it looks like this section should be blurry, but it looks like solid light gray to me. Is there any Good lock or settings approach?
Thank you.
