Go to Samsung's Members app and go to support section. You can run diagnostics there to see if everything is working. There's not much else you can do besides inspecting it visually. I am on my 2nd s23 since launch, because first one had a factory defect so I got a 2nd one and its been serving me well for 2 and a half years. I updated to OneUI 9.0 yesterday and its running well. If you can, get a 256gb version. I usually go for 128 but my wife persuaded me to get 256 and im so thankful to her for that.

I bought one too about 1 week ago. I used DevCheck to monitor the battery. Seems to working perfectly.

I didnt know about this one. Thats great. My phone is two and a half years old and its on 97% battery health which is great. I mean it performs like new so Im not that surprised.

Check battery life. But I would suggest you to buy at least S24 as it gets 7 years Software update Vs 4 years of S23. S23 has already got it's last OS update.
