    Watched this on my S23+. I do quite like the compactness of the regular S23 but I wanted the best battery life and after holding an S23+ in a shop in Thailand (on holiday) I thought it was quite comfortable for a larger phone. Came home and ordered one. Got a massive 40% off the price at work as I sell phones for my job. Have to say I'm quite impressed coming from a Huawei P30 Pro which was a great phone.

    Hey J, this phone made me buy my first Samsung after Huaweis, OnePlus devices. The ultra was too big, I hate curved edges, whereas the normal S23 was too small. I just LOVE this phone. Charging could be quicker but that is everything I can complain about. I've bought the 512GB version on promo. They've made an iPhone with Android if there's such a thing.

  • @christopherlewis3615
    @christopherlewis3615 Рік тому +2

    Probably one of the best reviews so far on the plus!
    It's been driving me nuts with all the you tube channels saying buy the ultra! Buy the ultra! The plus is pointless in its line up!
    I held the ultra in my hand and it feels absolutely awful and it digs into your palm. The plus is a very good balance of comfort, size and performance.
    The average person with 20/20 vision can no longer tell the sharpness difference of anything above 320ppi so the QHD is marketing, if you have eyes like a hawk and look at your screen from 2 inches away, Maybe.
    Then the "better" camera of the ultra? The primary shooters are the same, and from dabbing in photography sensor size is more important than mega pixels. Mega pixels is total pub talk!
    Yes in extreme cases if you are a phone nut, the ultra is the better phone. The ultra has a better zoom and larger display.
    But not everybody wants a huge square phone that's awkward in the hand and budging out of your pocket.
    But these you tubers are talking like they are missing out if they buy anything below the ultra.
    Thanks for finally offering a real world review!
    Take care brother.

      I am not saying the S23 Ultra is a bad device, but for most people the S23 Plus is better than the ultra. Actually, with all things considered, the S23+ is the real deal as a daily driver.

  • @travish4276
    @travish4276 Рік тому +2

    Thanks for the review! I agree with you about the Ultra. S23 was free with trade. S23 plus is 200 with trade. Ultra is 400 with thade. We needed 3 new phones. So 3 Ultras would have been an extra 600 dollars plus additional tax over the plus. I have a nice Canon camera for professional photos when needed, so the plus suits me just fine. Had it nearly 2 weeks now and it's awesome. Rounded corners are more comfortable than Ultra. I do wish it was 6.7 but no big deal. My wife was not receiving texts from Verizon people on hers but TMobile sorted that out after a couple days. Some kind of network issue on her phone number, not the phone itself. This phone is stellar. 512gb. Came from OnePlus 8T+. The 65w OnePlus charger charges this S23 plus at 45 watts no issues. Solid phone.

    Did I mention unbiased review? You're right. Most people would buy the ultra model just because it's the top of the line flagship and not because they actually need it. If they did a cost benefit analysis, I'm sure they would skip the ultra model. Unless if their main goal is just bragging rights.

    Samsung wants to sell its Ultra so badly that they made the mistake 2-3 years ago of castrating the S+.
    Whereas, in truth, the S Ultra are Galaxy Notes and have their own clientele, and there the S+ clientele no longer finds any interest in the S+, and finally, instead of going to the S Ultra, most prefer to go to other brands(a lot of people don't like smartphones with too sharp edges, and I think Samsung should go back to a Note 8 / Pixel 7 Pro form factor if they really want the S+ clientele for the Ultra).
    An S+ with a 1290-1300p screen, with the same main sensor as the Ultra of the moment, a 3× periscopic zoom and macro on the ultra wide angle would sell like hot cakes.
    Because, without lying to each other, unlike Apple customers, at Android, beyond wanting a fluid, stable and functional smartphone, customers who put $1,000 in a smartphone are very careful about the technical data sheet.
    At $850, this S23+ in its current state would have been a pretty good deal, but at $1,000...
