[SAMSUNG GALAXY S23 ULTRA REVIEW]
By and large, the world of slab smartphones is the lumbering, predictable march of iterative improvement. Set against the envelope-pushing and risk-taking of the foldable world … give me the hinge, every time.
But not everyone is ready for a foldable - and much as I hate to admit it, foldables aren’t yet ready for everyone. If you’re one of those folks with a budget for a four-figure smartphone in 2023, you probably already know that Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra is the best slab you can get. I’m Michael Fisher and I’ve spent five weeks using it across five cities to show you why.

Folks, the wallpaper app is Live Loop. And while I'm pinning a comment: DON'T respond to impersonators! I'm not running a giveaway, and you can't contact me on Telegram. Watch Zack's video on this: ua-cam.com/video/iROF9Dd7FXA/v-deo.html
There are a few programs out there youtube channel owners can run (for free) that will remove those comments, but alas, it seems it is a never-ending process.
Those scammers are everywhere. Glad Zack addressed it. Saw his video yesterday.
Iphone noob...
I miss the days when samsung phones used to support a 1TB SD card.
The impersonator channel is not only impersonating your channel; it's seen in other channels as well. Tips: always check the UA-cam username firt (not the shown name).
For european users, this is the best upgrade you can ask for. The difference between last year's exynos and this years snapdragon is huge, especially in terms of Stability and battery life!
Yeah, you guys have finally had your patience rewarded!
Except for that 60gb bloatware
I live in Europe and I have zero interest in upgrading from my S22 Ultra. I'm quite satisfied with my phone and I'm going to wait at least until next year. It doesn't matter how great the S23 Ultra is.
The 8 gen 1 wasn't that better than exynos last year they were both rubbish
@@MrCreepjo The system storage amounts aren't accurate. I read an article or watched a video or something explaining why. Basically, Samsung reports the device having a "full" 128, 256, 512, or 1TB. In reality, these storage chips never really provide the full amount. A 128GB chip may only be like 120GB or something, as an example. But Samsung doesn't report the storage accurately. And whatever storage is ALREADY missing from the drive gets lumped into the system storage readout. That's why the bigger you go in storage, the bigger it reports the system to be in the readout
"Good things come to those who wait", applies to your reviews. Don't worry about releasing your reviews "late". There is always some insight what other people miss and simply put these are more entertaining than others.
Not really, s23 in Transylvania now cost 200 $ more!
@@firstprototype give it a year Samsung phones never hold their value
@@Matanumi they aren't supposed to. Only sheeps pay near full price for a generation or 2 old hardware. That never made sense to me.
There’s no better storyteller than Michael in the tech world. Great review, as you would expect from him.
Do not fret over the delay in dropping the reviews. I at least watch this channel not for how on-time the reviews are but for the superior quality of production, visuals, and depth wrapped brilliantly with some of the most captivating storytelling skills ever. For that quality to shine through and improve, take as much time as necessary. A delight as always. Thank you.
I agree. I searched for your channel through my subscription just to watch you review.
Michael may not be the first one in the upload race but gosh darn it, his content is always worth the wait…. in my opinion, at least.
Can't agree with you more. Excellent content.
Thank you Michael for putting so much effort in each of your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching, and for your patience!
I have already seen a ton of reviews but none compare to the quality and rigorous script building that is done by you Michael... I've been waiting on this review forever, you may be last to the game but this is by far the best review out there by a mile... Awesome job
me too!!.. altough, I still want to see the review of this series by MKBHD.
Just subbed, for the same reason.
I am glad I found this channel
relax bro... it's just a phone review
@@t51byte Not for MrMobile's fans :)
I agree with you 100 %
No reviews compete with yours, I enjoyed the whole video, man! The words, the presentation, excellent! The whole review is very honest and to the point.
I went from a galaxy s9 that had trouble keeping charge after 30% due to age to this with 1tb storage. Such a worthwhile upgrade that was worth the long wait. I'm getting nearly 3 times the battery life, some days even 11-12 hours of screen on time with the light performance mode enabled which doesn't seem to affect anything in overall day to day performance. But yeah storage goes fast I'm already at 200gb out of the 1tb in storage after a month.
Enjoy it, I got 380 gb from first week of using it, note 📝 9 can be compare with this but s9 nope because this is actually a note 22 ultra!
Love your reviews and commentary. It's always worth the wait. Thank you!
To me, the S Pen on S23U is actually an upgrade when I compare it to the S Pen of the Note 20 Ultra. The texture makes it easy for gripping. The feeling of the pen tip on the screen feels better too. It is even better the the pen tip on Tab S 8 series.
The best review so far, unlike some other very popular reviewer. This one is unique and not a repeatition of someone else. No sugar coating, very tansparent of what he likes and don't like. I like to see more of this kind of review - not scripted. Subscribing and thumps up! - You're the Best!
I used my S22 Ultra to capture a video of Crew-6's launch the other night from 100 miles away with 3 out of the 4 cameras and it did it beautifully! Even capturing detail I could barely see as falcon 9s have such small thrust it was even able to capture the sounds of that trust with the directional microphone on... So yeah the cameras on the Ultras are amazing and easily beat my $600 Canon camera and $100 lens.
Best use I can think of for a device like this. Bravo!
The s23 ultra has been so amazing! The battery life is so good. With my really heavy usage (5-8 of sot), I only need to charge every morning. I havent used the cameras enough, but they are amazing too! Cant wait to shoot some nice cinematic stuff with them.
And the phone feels really snappy and smooth when compared to my old s10plus.
Samsung really made the perfect phone this year!
S10+ as this s10 plus performance that use the write ✍️ now got downgrade if Samsung didn't do this you will use your old s10+ now 😀 😉
As someone who's been dabbling in distant photography, I can truly appreciate a great telephoto lens like this. I just got my first camera, and shortly after, got a 50-250mm zoom lens. It's truly astonishing the kind of shots you can get when you know getting too close will ruin it. Great review. Love your videos :)
Great video! The tone you used was perfect to show how you felt about a phone that, despite being so powerful, is not as interesting as it could be.
Thanks for that feedback. This one was particularly difficult to write.
Great video as always! I really think slab innovation has hit its plateau. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe OEMs can focus on software optimization and features now that hardware advances are iterative.
Nope. Look at Huawei and honor phones. New battery tech, new glass, new modem, aperture changing (more than one) cameras etc
great review as always! i really like your desk lamp!
I love when you do stuff like at 8:34. It makes your videos more fun ☺️
The review I was waiting for! Quality content always Michael! Thank you.
I bought this coming from the exynos version of the S22U and absolutely no regrets. The improved battery alone was worth it to me
Wanted to leave a quick comment as a thank you for still making the review! I have been seeing the tweets and have been patiently waiting
Love the thumbnail of you standing on the lens, complete with shadow 👌
In a bit of a melancholy mood today due to an unexpected passing of a friend, so that Anthon Bordain cameo hit hard
Long wait for this, but worth every bit of the time.
the productions, and commentaries, were stellar and even the oxymoron feels and expressions only sweeten the review.
your lexicon prowess is staggering, so much so that one has to be glued to a chair and eyes, fixed directly only on the screen listening and wishing it never came to an end.
that's what I called a classic classical review.
I have already seen countless S23U reviews and camera reviews but I wasn't really satisfied until Michael's review of the same! This is the review I'll be sharing to someone who asks how the S23U is! Awesome video, stay mobile!
Dude your narrations on your videos are terrific and entertaining. You have a good voice for it too. The editing is top notch and the content is fun.
Finally!! Was waiting for you review of this phone!
I am nowhere in the market for this phone but I like keeping up from time to time with phone tech; by far this review was the one that had me thinking I would want to buy this, as someone who's staunchly held on to an S10e for the headphone jack and micro SD- amazing video as always. The camera footage blew me away as a side note.
You took your time with this one but as always, well worth the wait! :D This is why we stay mobile.
Great review. Loved the narration.
Great Videos! Thank you for the detailed and informative content!
Been waiting for this...
Great review again! I trust your opinions so much that when it comes to whatever you review, any sponsor you used, I've always looked into and used on more than a few occasions! You and Flossy Carter are the most trustworthy tech reviewers, in my opinion. Salute!
Man your content is so much better than anything else out there. I feel like the production quality is on par with a TV show. Unlike the phones you review I hope you never change! You rock!
Another awesome video ❤ love listening to your voice 😊
This phone is epic. I have changed my note20 ultra (had it for 3years). And is like moving from vw golf to bmw 7 series hahaha. The speed, screen, cameras, 1tb storage, and yes battery is outstanding. And after so many years, Snapdragon in UK, thank you :) as usual, review is spot on :)
Really? 7 series against golf? Not 8 i suppose ,anyway glad it's feels that good to you ☺️ 😊 enjoy it.
Currently using the Z Fold 3 but I ordered the S23 Ultra a few days back. My Z Fold 3 display went kaput after a year despite me babying it and handling it with the utmost care. I was able to get it replaced for free thanks to SamsungCare+ but the experience has made me wary of the durability of foldables. So I ordered the S23 Ultra which I'll use as my primary and the Z Fold 3 as my secondary. I can be clumsy with the S23 Ultra but not with the Z Fold 3 (though I'm sure there'll be many who state that their ZF3 doesn't have problems - but every use case and scenario is different).
Edit: The base variant I bought in India costs $1515 btw (unlike $1200 in America)
First time seeing your content, it is great and just subscribed
DUDE! Been so anxious to see this video! Appreciate you!
I just upgraded this week from my Note 9 to the s23 Ultra, whole new world! Although that Note 9 still is a beast!
The SD8Gen2 chipset itself is worth the upgrade from S22 Ultra - better performance, better heat management, and better battery life. Hail TSMC!
Seriously? You think it's worth spending another 1350-1500 just for a relatively small increase in performance and efficiency?
@@gemsandlasers269 the new chip absolutely does not justify the upgrade.
@@gemsandlasers269 Not another. You sell s22 ultra and then you buy S23 with that money + some extra.
@@gemsandlasers269 small? I am assuming u havent used s22 ultra with sd gen1. This literally is day and night difference specifically for battery life it literally adds like 3 4 hours on top of previous model not only that gpu performance is like %40 better and far more stable with really slow heating
Nah even Mr Mobile did not recommend it if you are coming from a s21 Ultra or S22 Ultra since these phones still holds up
Thank you so much for the time you put in for your videos! Always enjoy your writing and video work! !
I love your videos man. Your signature style . Awesome 👏.
I bought mine on launch and love it so far. Haven’t experienced any issues that some have reported and battery life is just great. Not gonna lie I do miss my Z flip 4 and its uniqueness but I think when they come out with the Z flip 5 Im just going to buy it. I love the cameras on this S23 ultra and the size so Ill just have 2 phones I guess 😅
Mate flip phones are just prototypes and we are just testers, yes they are cool but with limited functionality. S23ultra/ note 22 ultra is power device for those who can do multitasking and use it at least 50% of what the device can do, I'm waiting for flagship cameras on flip and fold 😀 until than I'm using my flip 3 😁 just as small phone when i need it and with no updates I'm still taking cool photos with the flip ✌️
Being visually impaired beyond correction with normal eyewear I find the zoom features of the Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra amazing! I truly wonder if this is leaps and bounds beyond that phone because I'm so happy with this one.
Enjoy it and I pray 🙏 for you like i do for all human kind 🙏 ❤️ ✨️
Been waiting for this video, thanks!
Yes, been waiting for this!
I'm actually SO ready for a Fold... What I am NOT ready for though is dropping the 10x camera. I would VERY easily buy a Fold if it had one, but for now I decided to replace my EXTREMELY SLOW S21 Ultra (thank you, Samsung chip manucacturing) for the lime S23 Ultra and I can't wait for it to come!
Getting this phone soon ish, after seeing videos of it matching up to my iphone 13 pro max in battery, that was the thing keeping me locked into the iphone 13 PM in particular was the 2-3 day battery with 120hz with pretty heavy content usage.
Im all for this. I cant be the only one who wishes more companies put more thought into battery innovations in regards with 120hz in mind?
I feel like this has to be the new standard. Like putting aside OS differences. Using anything with 120hz just feels so amazing/smooth. Linux/android/ios/windows/you name it.
So at this point with how good everything else is in phones right now, maybe battery life can be the focus. 🤔.
Example:my garmin watch that I dont have to charge every night. But still get notifications/can make calls like the first party watches.
You might wonder “just charge it while you sleep you lazy guy” and yes while thats true. I wish more was done towards the wireless charging side of things versus tradition charging, but it seems while we rely on stuff charging daily, we wont be looking towards any cooler wireless charging tech anytime soon🤔.
Thanks for reading my rant!
I just want to advocate for more battery life in all phones and 120hz to be the standard regardless of OS. It almost feels like a slap in the face not having that.
Another great review! Thanks Michael 🙂
Great vids!!! Damn i miss 18/9 phones 😊😊
Got rid of my Fold 4 when my cream s23 Ultra came in. Foldables are incredible but that risk just isn't worth it for me yet. I know I can toss the Ultra around and not worry
Weird thing is, the biggest reliability issue I see with foldables is spontaneous failure, not damage from abuse. I treat my Flip and Fold just like normal phones (drops and falls, plus a lot of aggressive open/close) and I've never had a problem.
@@TheMrMobile what about that Motorola crack u have?
@@santiagosolanonavarro7055 The outer casing? The same would have happened to any glass phone. That was the entire point of that video; the only thing that *didn't* break was the folding screen. Did you ... watch it?
I gave up my fold 3. I really loved that phone but the screen splitting along the seam twice in a year gave me no confidence of the device .. Using a s22U now .. I do miss my baby . Samsung needs better warranty on fold ( 2 years not one ) . Only way I would consider . $2300 on Canada !
@@TheMrMobile yes just think that some folds like the flip in one drop are more suceptible to break do to the size of the phone
I really loved how samsung just refined an already incredible device to make it better. Rather than trying to push a newer design. I mean mobile technology has peaked and there's no point pushing new devices, rather focus on the experience, efficiency etc. This is the first time samsung lasted as long as a 14 Pro Max which was already the best endurance champ by far. This is what you get when You focus on refinement rather than pushing newer design.
Samsung is literally doing both at once (refining existing design while also pushing forward new designs) so I disagree with your premise. But I agree about the iteration portion: the S23 Ultra is an excellent refinement of the S22U.
@@TheMrMobile what "new designs"? When you're talking about foldables again: Samsung hasn't changed anything there in literally years... Foldables have been around for half a decade now. They're just nothing special anymore. And so are their year over year upgrades.
@@TheMrMobile thank you. I am suggesting the S line should be focused on refinement and the foldables should be focused on Innovation. Sadly, the next Fold may not have the built in S pen. As it may make the fold thicker. Hopefully they may change their mind.
@@Raja995mh33 Theres a huge difference between first galaxy fold and the latest galaxy fold. The first fold was a fragile fold device attempt the lastest one is much more durable usable fold device.
@@user-jg4ns7pn6c dude current foldables are STILL brutally fragile. There are stilll tons of reports and stories about Foldables randomly have a broken screen after a few months.
The jump from Fold 1 to 4 is literally the same as from S20 Ultra to S23 Ultra. Just accept that.
I love that the music in the videos are always in the descriptions. I wish more content creators would do that.
That thumbnail and title...just great!
I just recently upgraded to the S23 Ultra (seriously considered the Fold though but it wouldn't have stood up to work I think) and it's been a worthy successor to my Note10+. I wish Samsung still did cool holographic phone colours but alas you can't have everything.
Fold 4 sounds better almost like s21u but battery 🔋 don't last long.
Yes is a big update from note 10+ but you lost the card support.
Anyway enjoy 😉 it 👌
I really want a folding phone but Im not willing to give up yet the massive specs, battery life and camera versatility of these high end candybar flagships and the s23ultra is really an android beast, for now i'll keep carrying an ipad mini alongside my ultra
until next time!! Epic Video Michael
Been looking for this review daily!
I've been waiting for this one, your reviews are the ones i value most.
Currently on my Note10+ and still unsure to upgrade or not. The biggest reason for doubt has to be that even after 4 years the Note10+ is still just very good, at everything.
Try not to update the software because than you will not be able to use it, yes your phone is still great 👍 and you have card support.
I got exactly same dilemma... my note 10+ still performing great. Would love to have a sharper camera (my husbands s22+ makes much better photos). However those super duper pictures will jam the memory super fast... and there is no micro sd that I am so used now 😭. When I need a big file transfer or sd card gets full, just few steps and all set.
Also if I go for 1tb then need to put one of my kidneys for sale (joking, but the price is cruel) also 1tb model in my country is available only in that ugliest dirty green.. so I think will give it another year
Well this did not age well, my Note10+ fell and completely wrecked the screen, both glass and display.
Repairs would be almost €400 so ended up buying the S23Ultra. Great phone, much better than the Note10+. However i having used the Ultra i wouldn't upgrade from a Note10+ if that is still working well, it isn't worth it.
I upgraded my S21 Ultra to the S23 Ultra and I've been waiting for this video! I'm in Europe and the Exynos/Snapdragon difference is really noticeable! The battery lasts waaaayyy longer and the phone stays cooler.
Side note, LOVED seeing Anthony Bourdain in one of your videos since your presentation style reminds me so much of him (as I said in my first comment on this channel).
Truly honored, thank you.
Do you see any noticeable camera differences coming from s21u?
@@HABO2210 a bit yes, especially color fidelity.
Is the the camera much better than the s21?
How do speakers, vibration strength, and indoor shots compare?
I always love your videos! There's something comfy about them.
Been waiting for this one bro. Nice job as always
I am loving my s23 ultra. I upgraded from a S21 ultra. Having a Note class Smart phone is very handy for my new job. Having that integrated S-Pen is fantastic. The battery life is much better, especially when playing games on it. And the phone doesn't get as hot as the s21 with gaming. for example there were times I felt li ke I could burn myself with how hot the s21 got. Same games and its now more like warm than hot. Smoother play back of games as well. And then the cameras are so much better. The new OIS is miles better than the s21 ultra's. Taking a pic at 100x zoom on s21 at times had a lot of trial and error. On s23 its so much easier. The only real negative is the less ram. Going from 16gb to 12gb hurts. Doesn't matter if it's faster and better, its still less and I see that in every day use. Having 10gb still available on s21 is nice compared to the 6gb I have on s23.
Overall I am loving it. still holding out on foldables until they mature more. The memory of me getting burned with owning one of the first dual core phones still haunts me to this day. And even with the Fold 4 I still only see foldables in its alpha stage. Here's hoping the Fold 5 is finally when foldables get in their beta phase and Fold 6 is when they are finally ready for mass consumption.
I also want to go to the fold world, but I also want to have the best samsung has to offer. I am really hoping to make the change in 1 or 2 years if they keep improving and I see that I will be able to fix 99% of the screen issues I might have by myself.
I already consider myself kind of a power user and I am only using a note, I can only imagine what a fold could do.
I also really like all the story telling you do in you videos, they are always the best reviews.
I'm waiting for a flagship fold as well,i think 10 years from now i will see 👀 some good improvements for me to jump on the fold, fold 4 is cool i like it but no spen inside ,no real fast charge and no battery life for power users 😉
Always worth the wait. Your reviews are just excellent. 🙌🏾.
Worth the wait! Your reviews are the best on UA-cam!
I Pre-ordered this phone so I can get the 512 gb for the price of 256gb and its worth it! I'm a camera guy and this is the most complete experience ever especially with the 200 mp which is very handy for shooting landscape photos and buildings I want that extra detail especially in the morning at night that's when I used the binned shots or the night mode people mostly complain about the 200 mp because they don't know what it's for, its excellent for capturing landscape, sceneries, buildings, architecture with lots of detail etc. I get it there's an ultra wide but it lacks the detail the 200mp has. And also the addition of 8k, people aren't making a big deal of it but it's very stable no micro jitters unlike before its cropped and jittery. And the stability of Samsung has really improved and I mean BY A LOT. Not to mention the 4k portrait mode which I used for vlogging and asmr videos makes me feel like I have a high end dslr. Samsung has desensitised everyone that it has now become underrated because it has everything people are so spoiled that they complain a lot but actually Samsung gives you more than any other smartphone has for its value. Especially having DEX mode. S23 ultra has great battery life on par with the iPhone now, great screen, Lpddr5x fastest ram avail right now for a phone, ltpo 3.0 which improves the panel effecience by providing 120hz display without the cost of draining battery and ufs 4.0 that makes multitasking even better than before, oh and yeah the snapdragon 8gen 2 which acts as an isp for the cameras and does a great job with battery efficiency. People are truly under rating this phone because it almost looks like the s22 ultra but honestly it has a lot going on under the hood that people don't know or don't appreciate unlike some companies who makes only design changes and everyone loses their minds.
Smartphones are like cars for those who really know and understand what they need them for and some buy them just if they look different ✌️
Anyway, enjoy it. 😉
@@firstprototype guess I'm not your avg customer. 😁 yup I am most definitely enjoying it.
As someone who's switched from the Note 20 Ultra Exynos (which I liked) to the s23 ultra, I do feel it was a nice upgrade. Not game-changing, but lots of refinement to make a worthwhile improvement
I switched from the Note 20U, the s23u battery life is game changing for me, I don't have to carry a power bank with me anymore.
This is what I've been hoping to hear. Gonna trade out the n20u for a 23
Exactly me right now, I just want to get off exynos
got both note20u and s23u but i will not give up my note20u. s23u might be my last upgrade and would last for over a decade. i prefer the camera design of note20u due to cases being finicky when u use camera rings and tempered glass on s23u
Going to wait till next year for the upgrade when my carrier asks for a renewal, going to get the s23 U with my new plan
Watching your video on my S23 Ultra and admiring all the attention, it truly deserves 👏
5:34 Joshua's photo looks so good here!
I like my S21 ultra for the fact that I can zoom in and get a picture of the full moon clear as day. I think the s23 ultra would be nice to have but for any new features, I don't see a point to upgrade yet.
But as always, fantastic review!
That's because those moon shots are basically fake not real ones...
same here s21 ultra is fast as new still. Mine is snapdragon. will wait for s24 to upgrade
@@Raja995mh33 that wasn't Samsung
@@derdummeasi no that's samsung fr it even appeared on the news
@Tim R. No they are real. I have taken a few myself
I've upgraded from my Zenfone 8 and this is an entirely different experience. You'd think that phone was high-end already, but nope, the price tag for the S23 Ultra is absolutely worth it and reflected in the end product, it is a beast and for me, will last the full 4 to 5 years of updates it will receive 😁
Totally different,
Enjoy it ✌️
@@firstprototypeYeah, i didn't expect that much of a difference, but i love it! It's a big phone, but i can get used to that
Thank you Michael for doing this review. Keep up the good work... You deserve more subscribers
Your reviews are well worth the wait my friend...
I switched over from an old S9 which I loved but after 5.5 years of use its battery was most definitely going out, Samsung Canada offered me such a great trade in value I can't say no. I wasn't a big camera guy, but after taking the S23 Ultra I've noticed I started taking more random moments with the camera more than ever, just because the image quality is just so darn good. This was also the first year ever since my 10+ years of visiting auto shows where of the 200+ pictures I've taken, NONE of them were blurry or unusable. I have shaky hands and my S9 usually yielded a bad shot every 7~9th pic, but the S23 Ultra has completely taken that out of the equation. I never appreciated such a OIS system until now.
The rest of the phone is just as great - Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is such a powerful yet efficient chip, and paired with the 5000mAh battery means I have to REALLY try with heavy gaming to even get it down to under 30% battery. The S pen is also a cherry on top for making notes in my work - goodbye Post-it notes and needless paper waste.
Yes is big jump in specialy on pictures 📸 taken on cars, as a car guy i understand your needs and yes I'm using the spen also 😀 👍
Enjoy it. 😉
Finally. Damn been checking and checking.
I was waiting for this review even after getting my 23 ultra and I am so happy you finally made it. Good review as always!
I got one since i was missing the pen since my old note and couldn't be happier. The camera is really impressive too.
Amazing review as always, Michael Fisher. This year's Samsung S23 Ultra had a bigger upgrade than most phones did, year over year. If you live in a Exynos SOC area, it's an even bigger jump. For most people looking for an Android flagship, this is the phone to get. Plus Samsung has been improving dramatically with its updates.
The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the improved camera, battery life, and everything else makes this an amazing phone. Without a doubt the best Android phone you can get right now, as of early 2023.
Same design & heck same day to day performance as the s22 ultra Exynos, maybe if you have deep pockets it's worth it but for most it's a minimal upgrade at best, it's the same experience you'll get as last years flagship. By all means upgrade from an older device, but anyone trading their s22 ultra for this is braindead
I have a Flip 4 and the 23 Ultra, the Flip being my daily driver. My primary reason is it is simply easier to pocket. I plan to move to the 23 Ultra soon, run it for a month, then flip back 🙂 Both were obtained through T-mobile special deals for adding a line & trading in a Note 20 5g. I'm a happy Samsung camper these days.
Michael thanks for making such thorough and fantastic videos. I look forward to Mr Mobile vids the most. Thanks for posting the wallpapers app I was wondering what it was!
Thank you Michael, another great review and production
After having the standard S22, the S23 Ultra was definitely a worthwhile upgrade.
Great review as always Michael! 😊
I've had literally 50% better battery life than with my S22U, which was only okay. Absolutely worth the upgrade just for that!
Sir Michael,
Your videos are always the best. You're spot on with your reviews, editing is great, and your voice commentary is calming, very smooth.
