I love my S23 Ultra!!! It's truly the King of 2023 🔥🔥🔥 I can't wait to see the S28 Ultra. That's when I'll upgrade.
yup, long term upgrade makes the feelings so fresh everytime we do it
How much screen do you get from 100 to 0? :)
On a daily basis, csn you let me know whats ur usage and hows the battery holding up
i get 8 hours @@DavidGolic
My S22 Ultra is still going strong.
Can't say that for my S21 Ultra
You’ll love the s23 big improvements, worth it for the battery slone
@@THEG12EGMy battery still easily gets me through a day. Plus, I charge every night.
@@ma7mgteyes s22 is decent s23 is just better
Baterry baddd
Loving the 23 ultra!! Looking forward to using it for several more years!!
I'm glad I went with the S23+, I find it just the perfect size. No one can tell me otherwise but the AMOLED screen on this phone is insane. Even my gf, with her 14 Pro Max, is constantly impressed by my S23+ screen quality.
I tested the P8P, and returned it. One UI has such versitility and customization built in + Good Lock, that I manage to tweak and change things to my absolute liking, something that the Pixel doesn't let you do.... yet.
Overall, One UI convinced me and the build quality of the phone is top tier though generic looking from the back.
Yeah, i really love my S23 Ultra and my GF has the S23+ and also loves it!
I also tried the P8P, but it wasnt for me. The Battery on Mobile Data and that it sometimes overheats really made it only an okay experience.
Same here. GoodLock is seriously underrated. At first I thought it's only for cosmetic modifications but it has practical side as well. I love than I can set the task changer to grip which does speed up multitasking.
I have all 3 phones and the s23 plus is the phone I used the most. It has the best size and battery life of the 3.
Probably the better buy for a simple smartphone use.
I thought I'm the only one who prefers OneUI over Pixel UI.
Almost traded it in for the 'One Plus Open', but changed my mind both times. The only phone that can replace my S23 Ultra 512GB is the S24 Ultra. Great video bro. ❤
I've had 21u and up and the s10+ but I can say the s24 is gonna probably be my phone for the next few years
Ive had S21U since launch and finally upgrading to 24U@@JoseSanchezdontyaknow
Have the Burgundy S22 Ultra for almost 16 month.
Absolutely love it. Beautiful beast.
I really agree, and the stylus is and extremely pleasant tool , DEX , and One UI are unmatched because frequently updated , so mre and more usefull as time goes by ... Granteed longevity and The Hardware is TOP it would seem that Samsung learned a lot of what's necessary to remain the KING of the hill. Honnestly in December of 2023 i am more and more impressed by the work of that brand. I might been convinced to move to a laptop of the Brand but wait and see for this . By the way great job you've done really complete.
Thanks for the info. I will be with my S23 ultra for the next 4 years 👍🏾
I just got it a week ago, and it's amazing! My S10+ feels so small now.
Ant battery reviews?
I had the 24U and returned it. I love the slightly curved display of the 23U because it's comfortable in the hand.
Just got the s23 ultra a week ago. Last time I had an android was 2010.. All I can say is this is the best overall phone ive ever had by farrr
agree 100% S23 has the best front facing camera and the Dex is the crown jewel 💎.. the only issue for me is the size of the device is too big and s23 and s23 plus don’t have the same camera specs of the S23 ultra
Having used the iPhone 14 Pro Max, P7P, P8P, and the S23 Ultra my vote also goes to the Samsung
Just ordered my s23U. Coming from a note 20u that I've had for 3 years now. Can't wait!
WHAT AN HONEST REVIEW! KINDA GET SICK WHEN IPHONES ARE PRAISED FOR NOTHING
I charge my s23 plus every 2 days, gaming is way better than on my iphone 14 pro max no screen dimming, no charging issues, no framedrops.
what a joke bro
Imagine giving up 8GB of ram 256GB a 120 hertz screen in 10 months. What a time to be alive
I went from the pixel 6 pro to the s23 ultra and amazed how nice it is. So long as I don't break it I think it will last for me.
not trying to defend any of the big tech companies, but I genuinely don't need chargers in the box anymore. I've had an Anker wall adapter that can charge up to 100 W (overkill in the US) for a couple of years and don't think I'll need to upgrade it for a while. getting more wall adapters would just be more for me to lose or collect dust. Is the complaint just because people just lose their adapters all the time? as long as the value paid is going to the phone (which may be questionable, given the over-charging some companies are known to do), I don't need it to include things I won't use
Great review. Truth said about the best phone. 👍
I loved my S20 FE for years. Got a deal on a used S23 Ultra for $650, IMEI states 256GB with 8GB RAM, but it's actually 512GB with 12GB RAM. Not sure why, but I'm okay with it (probably why I got it so cheap). Went back to using my old S20 FE, and the difference is crazy.
I'm also planning on upgrade to the S23 Ultra from my S20 FE this year. I'm just waiting for it to drop in price now that the S24 Ultra is here.
The s23U i waited for the s line and note line to merge. When it happened I picked up the 23U as i heard the positive chanhes they made compared to the 21 and 22 ultra. I only wireless charge my 23U now just to maintain the port for longer and the wireless charging speeds are fast. As for the spen i user it everyday for work and it saves me money on pens and paper.
Off-topic: beautiful scenery! Where was it!?
I'm still on the note 10 plus but planning to upgrade to the next ultra, can't wait
Samsung should offer 25W charger atleast as an free optional accessory or 45W at a discount price for the customers when they buy Premium (S/Z series)
I'm upgrading from NOTE 20 ULTRA to S24 ULTRA next year, can't wait!
I'm upgrading to S23 Ultra from Note 20 Ultra, but will still keep my N20U
@@alwaysbless2075
anybody have Note 20 Ultra HAVE to upgrade this year ...Samsung NOT gonna do any update on that phone any more this year as Samsung stated is like 4 years old Phone
What are the names of the games he's playing in this video?
Love my s23 ultra! One ui 6 is okay. Waiting for one ui 6.1. s24 right around the corner
If OneUI didnt exist, id most certianly go with the Pixel 8 Pro.
OneUI is, in my opinion, the best android experience one can get. Stock android does come close though.
Stock android also looks nicer to me.
Still waiting to see what the S24 Ultra will offer once it comes out, and if the price isnt much higher than the S23 Ultra, im probably gonna go with the S24 Ultra.
Agreed
Can any other android brick work with it? I have a 65w charger from realme, will that work with the s23ultra?
Dude, we both have the same desktop background. There's no wonder we both are using an S23U.
Don't forget that the s23U is 1 gen behind the 15pm and the pixel 8
I want to get it but..since Samsung decide to ditch the expendable memory card slot following Apple patch.. Samsung flagship being one thing that I don't consider to get anymore..their mid range probably still in my watch.. especially one with memory card slot..
Still rocking with my S20 but may upgrade.
Same for me (20+). I'll maybe buy the S24ultra in about 2 years if the exynos chip isn't worse than the 8gen2
I'm still rocking s20 ultra brilliant display and camera I just feel the build quality is slightly lacking
Same here. Using my S20 FE. Thinking of upgrading to S24U
I have the S23U and the only issue I have with it is the S-Pen almost never connecting when I need it.
Hands down Best smartphone till date ❤
I purchased mine when it launched and it costs US$1700 more or less (512 Gb 12 RAM).
My phone S23 Ultra ❤❤
I'm hyped for s24 ultra. It'll be my first flagship phone. Also I prefer the s-pen to apple pencil, I just feel like I'm gonna scratch the screen with the apple pencil😂
Now im split between getting this or wait for the S24 Ultra. But my main concern is the size and weight and this is a hefty device.
I went for S23U last month, because I got it for 600€ new. There is nothing S24U can offer that's worth 1500€ vs. what this offers at that price.
I'd get the regular size galaxy phone if it wasn't for the worse battery life
@@PhazonBlaxor from where?😅
512GB 12GB RAM S23ULTRA what more can I want 🔥🔥KING OF ALL SMARTPHONES
I have the Samsung S23 Ultra and i can agree that it's the best mobile on the market for now. But also I will disagree with you that the battery is lasting for two days. Lets be honest on this not more than a day max but max day and half with a daily usage 3.5 hours of screen.
How? I'm getting 9 hours SoT with full screen resolution, 120hz and mobile data on 24/7. 🤔 Still only one day battery, I use 85% charge limiter and charge back up at around 30% to 40% to preserve longetivity (planning on keeping this for at least 4 years).
It baffles me when I bought Realme C51 for my daughter which cost about $120 comes with 33W ultra fast charger but my $1000 S23+ only comes with USB-C cable which I can't use with my old USB-A charging brick.
It's being almost a year with my S23 Ultra and I'm loving it! Especially uncased! Why buy a Ferrari then cover it?!😂
You are brave. Why break your nice car driving unsafe? I will always case on my device. It just helps with grip as the phone is so big.
The S23U/S24U are like the Superman of the phone world.
Iam the proud user of s23 ultra
Since june 2023 the true flagship
of the decade iam the loyal fan
of samsung flagship the S series. ❤❤❤❤❤.
If you know how to use the phone as a photography tool, Its a very decent camera when shot with raw.
S23 ultra ❤❤❤
I have it best of best the camera is just🔥
S22 ultra user still have it ✅️👌🏿
Great phone I love this phone and I thank God so much for giving me this phone in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ Amen.
the S23 ultra is on a discount everywhere.. it is a steal.
I use the S-pen for object erasing. So I'm somewhere in the middle.
Does it do Dex Wireless?
Yes
I'm looking forward to upgrading to the S 23 Iltra 1TB from my trashy A 53
Maybe I'll get a 24. My S10 is just too good
This DeX option is nice, but let's be honest - who actually uses this feature? Who has just a monitor (without a PC or a laptop) in their flat/house?
As someone with the Pixel and iPhone. I have to say the Galaxy is the absolute king 👑
Y don’t u get it ?
If the pixel or iphone had these signature features it wouldn't be close, but there are levels to everything. It's not close.
The main issue with the Pixel is raw power. The SOC is not indicative of what Google is capable of. The software and AI is excellent though. The IPhone 15PM and ANY future IPhone is great n desperate need of a cooling solution (vapor chamber). The reason Samsung was able to close the gap in performance was simply due to PROPER cooling. If Apple follows suit and adds a few multitasking features, they’ll quickly jump ahead again. All that said, Samsung is looking mighty impressive right now.
Hiya I'm in the uk I have the Galaxy s23 ultra it's the best phone of 2023. I may upgrade in 2 or 3 years time. Depends on galaxy s23. As this phone has replacement battery
Ill use mine until samsung made the S30 ULTRA in that time
best phone i ever had
Reliable battery
I am so happy to hear this. I'm watching from my Galaxy S4 😮😅
Don't worry. Someday, you'll be able to buy the S23 Ultra or whatever latest Galaxy S flagship is there by the time you want to upgrade.
▪︎ S23 Ultra is the best chosen phone of 2023🎉
My s23 is going strong
Vivo x100 is worth checking...
i love my s23ultra, best phablet sind the note4 in his time. brilliant chipset, especially ll day long battery. a phone without a spen isnt anything for me. no compation for my s22 (shittiest battery with the exynos chipset), the op7pro or also my former note8.
Awesome video, Ryan 👏
This video review makes me happy with my decision of getting the device and moving from the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
The only drawback I have with my s23 Ultra compared with my 13 Pro Max is the battery drain when using it making video call via FB messenger as it tends to drain faster. Aside from this, everything is almost perfect.
What made you want to switch? I used to be on android and switched in 2019 so I could send my wife videos of our kids via iMessage. I want to switch, but nothing has drawn me yet to do that. I am on iPhone 13pm too.
My s22 plus still kicking up and its a mazing beast
NOTE 4 STILL GOIN STRONG... CAN'T BEAT REMOVABLE BATTERY AND STORAGE
You won't believe I watched this video on my Note 9 which is still beast (atleast for me) and feels new...The main features are S pen functionality and 2k display...plus it has audio jack and backside finger print reader (which is convenient than on-screen reader)
Now it's time for the S24 ultra but I am going to buy S23 ultra very soon...Nice review video...Thanks.
I'm waiting for the iPhone 37 Pro Max.
have you checked out the red magic 8s pro and the new red magic 9? actually the red magic 8 pro i feel it is more powerful. but all these phones lacks some features.
even though it is more powerful in gaming because it is a gaming phone that cost 300 usd less than the ultra.
both boxy phone but the red magic hides the selfie camera making it all screen.
looks nice but i actually still prefer samsung ultra better for it's cameras. i do game like genshin which the red magic is also good for, it has built in fans(yeah this will degrade over time) at the cost of waterproof and also has another built in chip to help handle gaming. the last year model with the 8 gen 2 can give genshin stable 60 fps at max settings for 1 hr cause of fan. while the samsung 24ultra 8 gen 3 overclock probably could 60 fps but have some drop frames. didn't realized cooling can be pretty effective O_o
im broke but i will try to save cash for the s24 ultra after 2 years after it's release rip.
also when i see people test games especially like genshin it's usually at the beginning.
when you play enough to do all the quick swaps dropping elemental skill and ultimate burst at high settings. so many glowing effects will appear. i never see people test that with phone performance reviews. so it looks misleading, not saying your video is. but i see so much people say phone can handle genshin but they aren't pushing the game in the highest potential
❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so bored with my iPhone. 📱 15 Pro max feels exactly like my iPhone 📱 13 Pro Max it is painful planing my escape form the ecosystem
I understand you, having a lot of my accounts based on Apple, just straight up sucks. Especially my games which rely on Game Center. But making accounts inside the games would have to be the only option there is if I wanna switch to the S23 Ultra.
The only thing good about Apple would probably be their ipads
Please, please stop giving price in dollars we live in Britain so please give in pounds. Apart from that great review.
Hardware is amazing but they need to tweak the software alittle bit
The only cons for me is the size and the curve screen. Imagine S24 ULTRA with 6.1 size. Bin the Spen. Waste of space.
In India it's cheaper than iPhone 15 Pro
Man ... I have fold 5. But am contemplating getting iPhone. OR. OnePlus open, nothing phone 2, or flip
s24 ditches the 10x telephoto lense, I keep the s23.
I traded my s22U for a fold 4 and skipped the s23U just because of the curve edges alone, I'm someone who uses the spen a lot and those curved edges are the most counter productive things Samsung could have made for spen users, I might get the s24U just for the flat screen alone.
I have the S22+. I always go for the plus because the small one is too small for me, and I don't need the kitchen sink and price of the Ultra.
I'm looking forward for the S24+ if the rumors of a QHD and more RAM are true. I couldn't care less with the camera. It's good enough for my use case.
I especially enjoy the headphone jack and sd card slot
Note 10+
Note 10 plus is still going Strong😂❤
From the s22 ultra i am here for the battery news; because it started out good, but then nosedived. I need a day and a half or 7-8 hours of SOT like the s23 ultra, and well it seems to be mostly getting that from all the polls i see.
For me, it's the LDAC or hi-res audio implementation of the S23 Ultra. I use the Fiio BTR7 with Campfire Andromeda (yes, I am a so-called audiophile) and the iPhone AAC from my 11 Pro Max is not even close! And yes, I have 2 phones, as I use the iPhone for Facetime with my family overseas :) No one can't touch Galaxy S23 as an overall package.
the design is what made me go from s22 to fold 5 i hate the rounded sides feels very bad to hold
Camera quality keeps on changing, very inconsistent
S23 running good, wish android wasnt so glitchy tho, compared to iOS
Constantly have small issues like the keyboard won't appear when I'm trying to type on something, have to open multitask menu on and off
This phone it's too big! My Huawei P30(not lite, not pro) is the best!
Too big
Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro+
i need a headphone jack :(
Just another Samsung hater..
Why is nobody talking about the msgs of instagram we get frequently even after we read them. It's damn annoying man. Anybody here who can help?
I can't get past no native VVM. All other phones have it, Samsung doesn't. Plus on the Pixel 8 Pro, I get native VVM in the call app and I don't have 2 apps for every task ( calendar, messages etc etc) and I don't have to fight Bixby always trying to get turned back on. The phone of the year is the Pixel 8 Pro. Not this.
Yall say this every year and go back to the pixel and iphone
the hypocrisy of phone companies now a day is astonishing
"we have good camera" -no removable storage
"we take good video" -no headphone jack
"our screen is the most color accurate" -no headphone jack
