I could not wait for the launch of the latest Samsung S23 series because of the competition in the high-end smartphones and considering that South African consumers have been going through some tough economic times with prices of basic necessities increasing every day.
So my question was basically why would one go for the latest smartphone instead of keeping the one you have or considering cheaper models?
Sustainability advances the essence of Samsung Galaxy
It is our responsibility today to care about and for our environment so that future generations will enjoy the same benefits we enjoy. The Galaxy S23 series raises the bar for premium technology designed with the planet in mind. It is made using even more recycled materials including pre-consumer recycled aluminium and recycled glass, and post-consumer recycled plastics sourced from discarded fishing nets, water barrels and polyethylene terephthalate bottles.
The new S series is the first to market Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, adding heightened durability for long-term use and designed with an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled content. Plus, every Galaxy S23 smartphone comes in redesigned packaging made with 100% recycled paper.
With the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy is doing more to minimise its impact on the environment without compromising quality and aesthetics. The Galaxy S23 series is UL ECOLOGO certified, meaning that the product has been certified for reduced environmental impact.
For users who want to extend the life of their device, Galaxy S23 series’ premium experience can be sustained through the years with four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates. To ensure longevity, users can also leverage a variety of programs such as Samsung Care+, a support service for accidental damages, repairs and more.
These considerations in the production process of the latest S23 series do not only guarantee the quality of your smartphone but ensure that you use a product that is environmentally friendly and considers its environment and people in all its processes. This is your one way to play a role towards global sustainability and in combating global warming.
It is what Samsung says it is and is worth having
With the Samsung S23 Galaxy series, you get what Samsung promises you. In the words of Justin Hume, Samsung’s Vice President of Mobile Experiences, ‘We believe the Galaxy S23 Ultra, and the S23 series as a whole, is the perfect upgrade to any mobile device, and we make it seamless for everyone to join the Galaxy ecosystem. Ultimately, our mission is to make life easier for our consumers through our innovations and products, and if we can help them to achieve some of their personal milestones, even better. This series is truly an experience you don’t want to miss.’
