Common issues
After three years of bench experience, these are the failures we see most often. Use the troubleshooting library for symptom-by-symptom diagnostics.
Battery degradation — most 2023 units now sit at 80–85% health under normal use
Cracked display (6.6" flat AMOLED, fragile in corner impacts)
USB-C port wear / intermittent charging
Under-display fingerprint sensor calibration issues after budget screen swaps
DIY note
The S23+ is one of the friendlier Samsung S-series models to DIY in 2026 — three years of community walkthroughs (iFixit, YouTube) mean teardown procedures are well-known. Flat 6.6" display, aluminium frame, standard pry-and-heat. The under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor still requires careful handling, and budget aftermarket panels may break it entirely. Quality aftermarket S23+ panels have a strong 2026 track record — ask for OEM-equivalent or service-pack tier.
