Hey! I've been a fan of yours since you made the, "Why I use a Samsung Phone" video featuring the base S21, and even though I appreciate all the high effort review and comparison videos you make, and I think this one is by far my favorite. It's fun, creative, and I love the bits of humor added in too! I think this is your best video yet Ella, keep up the good work! 💯
Muviz Edge is one app that I really want to use but the downside is that it doesn’t act like the default AOD. Think of it like an all black wallpaper with the AOD Elements that overlaps your home screen when activated. You cannot use your fingerprint scanner when it is activated. Otherwise the design is really cool and I would have loved to use those AOD designs.
In the process of trying to switch from the apple platform. Not going to lie it’s extremely tough for various reasons but the Samsung Galaxy platform is so tempting…! I bought the S23 Ultra just a few weeks ago and have been “switching - gradually” ever since lol! Love this channel, you have some great suggestions and tips! Gonna go down the list and check these apps out. Thank you!
I honestly prefer default wallpapers of S22 series more than S23 series. I even used default wallpaper of S22 series on my Note 10 before moving to S23 Ultra because Note 10 was broken.
Thanks - great recommendations! One question - what do you use to get the look of your screen (e.g. at 0:44 of this video)? I love the look of that big bold '24' and the text beneath.
Ella, I love your content because you're a female, around the same age as me, and you really show how tech is used for someone my age. You're not in your 30s and up like a lot of tech UA-camrs so I can really relate to how you use a phone. Also, you're one of the reasons why I purchased the S23U. Thanks for your content! 💜
@Rami Spica I probably should have mentioned in my post but I'm thinking of getting into content creation as well so target audience matters. Also age matters because I'm not using a phone to take pics of my kids, use for family vacations, or keep track of certain things that a married couple would need to. A lot of content creators use devices in a way that really suits their specific lifestyle. I don't game and a lot of male content creators do. Single people in their 20s have different needs than people in their 30s and up so age and gender matters. For example, in another video she really talked about the selfie camera in a way that was useful for me because honestly a lot of male content creators don't care about taking selfies for fun the way a female content creator would. They usually do it with the intention to specifically show off the camera specs, not because that's a part of being social with friends and family. It's all preference so I appreciate her perspective 😊
@@druec2863 I should reclarify as well. I think having a clear target audience based on demographic is effective for appeal of one's work, I agree with you there. However, unless there is a very direct effect, I don't think the presenter's own demographic should be a valid point of praise because it can't be changed on a whim. That's why it came to me as odd and nonsensical that you'd praise her just for being a young woman. She had good presentation and communication skills, but not because of her age and gender. A lot of apps covered are also useful to men, children, and older audiences, too.
Thanks for mentioning Muviz Edge. I think it's a way to add Always On Display onto Samsung A33. The A33 has an AMOLED display, but no AOD preinstalled.
Great video, thanks. The thing with power bricks is not the brick, it’s the tech industry. There are multiple USB-PD standards, and to get 45W charging on the S 23 ultra you need the latest one. The older your charger is the more likely it’s going to default to 18 watts, no matter how fast it can charge an old MacBook. I recently picked up an Anker 313, which charges my S23 ultra at 45 watts. Not super cheap but small and great build quality.
i saw this comment, bought the same anker 313 45W charger... and still my samsung s23 ultra is charging at 18W... do you know what else i could be missing?
Great vid, you got me downloading a whole bunch of stuff now 😅 Btw, I think you have a spelling error on this video's timeline bit- It reads "Forest" instead of "Focus" for app no.17
For many years I have dreamt of having the volume between two volume steps. And then, one day, I clicked on a video about a phone I just got and... and there it was.
Hi, how are you? I hope you're well! I love your videos and reviews; they're always very accurate, well-made, filmed, and edited. Congratulations! And thank you so much for the tips. I downloaded many apps that I didn't even know I could use (like the music control on AOD) and the battery charging animations that I always saw on other interfaces and wanted to have. Thank you 💜
This is so far one of the best content on s23 ultra review i have seen on UA-cam if Apple fans boys don’t constantly try to mitigate that Samsung is more far advanced than iPhone
Im sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but for the ampere application how do you know the watts it's charging at.. Trying to understand how you figured that out.. Thanks in advance
P(power in watts) = I(current in amps) x V(voltage in volts)... Maximum for the 96W brick as shown in the app is 5.060A x 3.96V = ~20W. Maximum for the 45W brick is 9.170A x 4.195V = ~38.5W. As you look at the current in the app, it is dropping. So, with her saying it was about 18W for the 96W brick, the current maybe stabilized at about 4.55A (or 4545mA).
Good video That app that was able to play the Yoshi sound was interesting Tip though: it’s NOT A GOOD IDEA to use your smartphone while you’re charging it I recently had my iPhone 12 mini 🔋 replaced 5 days ago and a friend of mine told me that charging your smartphone 🔋 degrades your 🔋 faster
Hi! Have you look into the settings within the camera app to change and get the most possible better quality of photos and videos? I've seen some youtubers change it and they might have had a better quality photos and videos than the default one. You might want to try making your next upload about it!
Really helpful! ma Many thank. Ampere does not work properly, it indicates that the smartphone is always charging, but it is not, or maybe I have turned into the Electro of the film Spiderman! 😁
Thanks Ella for your video ! I have for ice galaxy, il cant use the theme only for the lock screen I have only 2 choose: home page or home page and lock screen
Awesome video. The zedge app has been amazing for years. Too bad it sucks on ios. But since I have both devices iphone 14pm and s23ultra when I load my app on the 14pm it saves all my wallpapers and rings tones and sounds. Sucks the app doesn't work the same on ios.
What are you settings for trueamp ,mines overheating my phone and also glitches out with the original battery plug in animation? It's also too high where my camera notch is blocking the date.
I'm back with a new video!! Links to all the apps are now posted :)
Btw I'll give a (pretty big) life update soon
Hope all is well Ella :) Thank you for another awesome vid 🙌
Life saver, almost no one talks about the apps
Where have you posted the link to the apps
show youtube revanced. Its the best thing ever
Planning to buy a GPU for your PC?
The Best Android Smartphone Right Now!!! Yay 👍🏻😳👍🏻
Best phone right now period
@@TechHeadB Super Best!!! 👌🏻😎👌🏻
Full of bloatwares, stuck at 12gb ram, stuck at 45watt charging. Expensive comes with no charger. How is it the best android? It's mid tier at best.
@@fynkozari9271 isn’t at all flagship nowadays? 🙄
@Fyn Kozari 12gb is morethan enough for almost everyone 😂😂 . Yes charging could be better but they do it to make the s24Ultra sales 😊

It's also like a $5 app to be able to do/use anything
True, i have same opinion as you
I just switched my iPhone to a Samsung and I don't regret it at all!
In the process of trying to switch from the apple platform. Not going to lie it’s extremely tough for various reasons but the Samsung Galaxy platform is so tempting…!

I have to thank you so much for that black screen app. I usually jog, and my songs skip or pause. This is a game changer. Thank you so much!
Thank you, I've made more changes to my S23U today than over the entire time I've had it 😊
thanks for watching!
I honestly prefer default wallpapers of S22 series more than S23 series. I even used default wallpaper of S22 series on my Note 10 before moving to S23 Ultra because Note 10 was broken.
I have only one default theme in my S23 Ultra and here in this video she is showing a bunch of default themes, i don't know why.
@@justwatch2022 she is showing themes from the store tho
Thanks - great recommendations! One question - what do you use to get the look of your screen (e.g. at 0:44 of this video)? I love the look of that big bold '24' and the text beneath.
It's a widget than comes with the phone
Mine is arriving this afternoon! Finally upgrading my Note 9. And now I am going through all your videos again 😂 thanks for your content!
Me too upgrade note 9 to s23 ultra today

Not sure why age and gender should matter to you. As long as the information is good and presentation is pleasant, that is enough for me.

Really great video Ella! Now I'm going to spend more time glued to my phone to go through all those amazing customizations. Thank you!
Love that Battery Sound app. Can't wait for my phone to go uwu everytime I plug it in.
S24 Ultra thats the phone gonna upgrade next year from my Note 20 Ultra , cant wait👌
I look so forward to install most of them and to customize. Thank you for your work.
For many years I have dreamt of having the volume between two volume steps. And then, one day, I clicked on a video about a phone I just got and... and there it was.
One question: do live wallpapers damage your phone from the inside like perfomance or battery

Watching your channel for first time. Super cool video. Keep up!
I love your content! ❤ Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Your videos are always super fun to watch ☺️
Great video. I downloaded about 4 or so apps based on these suggestions. Thank you :-)
thanks for watching!
And even more new features I didn't know about.. great video again !
thanks for watching!
Great video with great smile...subscribed right away :)
Thank you for this video... I downloaded the Overdrop app, and I love it 😊
Tried most of these apps, and the true amps/muviz edge made my phone extremely hot within a few minutes
I have the green S23 ultra, I love it !!!
I have the white and its so cute
Thanks for sharing these! Really helpful!
Fantastic live wallpaper !!! Nice one !!!.😊
23 Ultra is undefeated 🔥
The Home Up app is amazing. Thanks!
The alarm one is really cool. Thanks for sharing!
Love these suggestions. Haven't heard of most of them!
Apps like Battery sound can be replaced with Modes and Routines. This app also allows to play text to speech or a sound when an action happens
Thanks for the video. I'll definitely be taking a look at some of those apps.
That video was really useful. Enjoying the new look of my phone. Thanks!
Great video 👍 thanks looking forward to more like this
Welcome back Ella.
This is so far one of the best content on s23 ultra review i have seen on UA-cam if Apple fans boys don’t constantly try to mitigate that Samsung is more far advanced than iPhone
do you use screen protector on your samsung? moving from iphone to regular s23, bought spigen one but fingerprint really hard to use
Ella, greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
Ok I’m subscribing
Im sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but for the ampere application how do you know the watts it's charging at.. Trying to understand how you figured that out.. Thanks in advance
Muviz edge is good. However, it disables quick note on lockscreen with spen
Hello there. Where do you see or how do you know by Ampere app that your phone is charging @ 18 Watts?
Kudos for Zedge... I've used that app like 10 years ago now u reminded me about it again
South Korean Chair and Samsung👍🏻 Thank you for the video
thank you for sharing these amazing tools!! All of them seems useful for the phone!🤗
Hey I really like your mousepad, where'd you get it from?
How did you measure the charging w , I don't know how , if anyone could tell how
🙏
P(power in watts) = I(current in amps) x V(voltage in volts)... Maximum for the 96W brick as shown in the app is 5.060A x 3.96V = ~20W. Maximum for the 45W brick is 9.170A x 4.195V = ~38.5W. As you look at the current in the app, it is dropping. So, with her saying it was about 18W for the 96W brick, the current maybe stabilized at about 4.55A (or 4545mA).
What you didnt tell is that most apps arent free if we want the full customization
Yeah, it would be good if they mentioned that.
Oh wow, really? 🙄 Yeah, go figure.. thank you
for battery sound you can just opt in routines, i think the step call read notification out loud
Just saw your video. It's great and thanks for the apps. The muviz app is not available on play store. Can you some alternatives
Love From Indonesian 🔥
Could you please provide us how the apps looks as well, along with its name. Thanks.
Ella, appreciate the time you've taken to put this together :)
I've been looking for some live wallpapers an ur recommendation was perfect...love that app
Good video
That app that was able to play the Yoshi sound was interesting
Tip though: it’s NOT A GOOD IDEA to use your smartphone while you’re charging it
I recently had my iPhone 12 mini 🔋 replaced 5 days ago and a friend of mine told me that charging your smartphone 🔋 degrades your 🔋 faster
In the Sound Assistant there's a Bluetooth Metronome that allows you to sync the Bluetooth audio to video so there's no delay!
This was huge for me.
Thank you for these recommendations, and some of these apps are so useful. Thanks Ella!
thanks for watching! :)

Thank you!
Okay some of these I didn't know of and are awesome! Thanks!
thanks for watching!
Im about to go back to my iphone 13 but because of your suggestions i will stay with my s23 ultra and makes it cooler than iphone
Are using third party apps draining the battery?
Hi Ella, can i turn off the screen of the s23u during a long hyperlapse shoot to save battery power?
Thanks again for the video very much appreciated so many handy tips 😘
Thank you Ella! 😊😎🤗
thanks for watching :)
Thanks Ella for your video ! I have for ice galaxy, il cant use the theme only for the lock screen I have only 2 choose: home page or home page and lock screen
I loved the video, but as a suggestion, you might want to write down the app names for the timestamps rather than app1, app2 which aren't so useful.
app links provided!
Awesome video. The zedge app has been amazing for years. Too bad it sucks on ios. But since I have both devices iphone 14pm and s23ultra when I load my app on the 14pm it saves all my wallpapers and rings tones and sounds. Sucks the app doesn't work the same on ios.
Can you provide a link to the 45w charger shown? Thanks!
What theme is that that looks like Nothing UI when you connected the charging cord?
Great video.
How ti get the clock on 0:48??
The first appu shows allow only home screen or both homscreen and lockscreen. Only lock screen is not happening. Is there anyway to do that?
The screen on this phone is a joy to use
What are you settings for trueamp ,mines overheating my phone and also glitches out with the original battery plug in animation? It's also too high where my camera notch is blocking the date.
What brand of earbuds are those that come on at AOD ??
Well played 😁 I liked
Thank you top work. I learned a lot of things
For over drop...you can't put in lock screen?
i missed your videos!! 😭
aww I'm back now!
you deserve a big like and subscribe
Just a caution about muviz edge. It kinda messes up lock star.
very informative ..... thanks😊
thanks for watching! :)
Thank you...I have downloaded 6 useful programs for the phone that you explained to them
Thanks for watching :)
Should I buy S23 Ultra or Iphone 15 Pro
Wait wait, point no.8, how do you know the 96W brick is just giving 18w?i dont see any such option on the Ampere app
where can i found that clock? its not on my widgets
