Replaced my battery yesterday and did a factory reset.
Phone feels like new again, battery life back to normal and seems like it can last uptoo 48 hours again instead of uptoo 12h

I'm also considering replacing mine just not sure if it's worth it at this point as I might get the S26 Ultra next year. Where did you go do it and how much did it cost?

Bought the battery from TakeAlot, R330.
Did the job myself; Not an easy task, I followed a youtube tutorial.

I haven't played much yet, but I did notice activating do not disturb now asks for how long. I'm sure I'll pick up more as the week progresses

Updated.
Tiny glass-y effects here and there, some extra dialogue boxes for settings, an extra animation on app opening from the notification tray. Alright.

Unfortunately, my slight delay in the app manager is still here -- but everything else feels a tad more fluid and snappier.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra in February 2023 with Android 13-based One UI 5.1, and later in October, the brand introduced the Galaxy S23 FEwith the same OS. But that was the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered model, as the Exynos 2200-powered version ran Android 14-based One UI 6 out of the box. Regardless of which model you own, the Android 17-based One UI 9 will be the last major OS upgrade for the smartphone.
