Love the phone. It has a great sized quality screen. The battery lasts all day and it has plenty of storage. just a pitty it doesnt take external storage or come with a charging plug
This is a top flight mobile phone from Samsung and is a joy to use, but not really worth the asking price, but I’m retired so who cares. Takes great videos and very clear and sharp screen to watch all my YouTube videos.
Highly recommend
Waited to write a review until I’d used for an extended period of time. I have been using this daily for 4 months now. Camera is UNBELIEVABLE, photo quality is amazing and the zoom for night/moon shots is absolutely fantastic! Super easy to use even if your not a big tech person. The S pen is super handy for notes or just doodling. Great size, keys don’t feel to hard to reach when typing two handed. Phone is a good weight, doesn’t feel to heavy in your hands even when using for a.long time. Screen quality is fantastic, clear video and game quality.
For those Type 1 diabetics, Dexcom G6 app works perfectly with no issues (on current software) alerts all work and sound as they should.
Highly recommended.
Just bought the S23 ULTRA 512gb, Paid 1099 with discount. After watching many of the major YT reviewers wax lyrical, it was a toss up between this and the Sony Xperia 1 V, I went with the S23 Ultra, as it has a better battery life, and longer software support. And, I think One UI is quite a polished OS now.
Super nice to hold in the hand, very repsonsive, doesnt lag, or ever feel like it is slow. Battery life is superb, Screen is great I only use it on about 30% brightness. Fingerprint reader is very quick and accurate. Camera is good im not really a camera enthusiast but it looks good to me.
Ive had a fair few Samsungs over the years which Ive tried to like but I think this is there best.
As a long term IPhone user I tried this phone and was satisfied with its performance. The customisability is unparalleled as compared to iOS. Sadly, as I’m big into the Apple ecosystem the switch was very difficult and the interaction between android and iOS wasn’t the same compared to iOS. The battery life wasn’t bad, as I’m not a heavy user, but Apple optimisation is far superior as compared to android. Overall, this phone is a solid Apple competitor, with good cameras, decent battery life and quality performance.
Absolutely love the Samsung s23 ultra. Perfect sound when listening to music. Brilliant pictures. I also love the s pen.
Great choice for every Note series fan. Very good photos. One of the best display. Great speakers. And the extra stuff you cand do with spe
Pre-ordered this phone and was surprised to receive two days before the official launch. Quality of the phone is great. I moved from my note20 Ultra to the s23 Ultra and use this alongside my iPhone 13 Pro. Samsung is leaps and bounds above iPhone when it comes to features and design. Camera is impeccable on this phone
The last Samsung I had was the Note 20 Ultra and it was a superb phone; moved to the iPhone 13 Pro Max after that and then the iPhone 14 Pro Max (with a Pixel 7 Pro thrown in there too) – I’m a gadget hound…!
I’m fully immersed in the Apple ecosystem (M1 MBA, M2 Mac Mini, M2 iPad Pro 11″, ATV etc) and really want to love their phones; but the ‘tied-downess’ of them, the lack of being able to easily customise it (launcher, icon packs, location of apps etc) can be a bit frustrating at times, and not being able to easily change the tones etc
So took the plunge and bought the S23U and have moved the 14 Pro Max on and absolutely no regrets…
It’s a superb phone, a fantastic screen and an absolute beast of a camera; but I still need to see more of my previous iPhone 14 PM pictures side by side with the S23Us etc
All in though; I genuinely believe this is the Android handset to beat the 14 Pro Max, at last…
This has to be the best phone samsung has ever made, it is like having a dslr camera that fits in your pocket, i watched some YouTube videos before pre-ordering and it showed this phone taking pictures of the moon, I was like no way, impossible, as soon as I got the phone I tried it and I have not looked back, the battery is incredible, when you play games you can turn off calls and messages and other stuff so your not interuppted and the ram is solely focused on your games you play which when Dow loaded are automatically saved in your game launcher not your usual place, I use my phone moderately and charge it once a night or on occasion have left it off charge for day and ahalf while still using it, I haven’t even used power save which would increase my battery life by days, absolutely recommend this to anyone who is serious about wanting a phone, you want need to upgrade for a few years but if your a keeper this will stick with till the s33
Bigger, thicker and heavier than the S22 ultra, for who loves big screen and great battery.
I use it a lot, whole day long for games, youtube, social media, pictures & videos, and other apps and need to charge once a day only or even next day. If you use it moderately, will need to charge every 2 days.
Super cameras make great pictures & videos.
It is a Note series with S series merged together, a powerful processor with fast response.
Yeap. It’s a lovely phone.
Decent phone. Nice to hold. Premium build quality. Light in the hand. Screen is really good. Clear, bright. 120hz super smooth. Battery is lasting a couple of days with moderate use. Camera quality is decent with ok features to edit. Face unlockthumb print is average. Fast charge is decent. Came from iphone after many years.
With WiFi I can use 8hours with lightscreen,I have two sim cards, the phone really beautiful and impressive,process fast,I think this generation has much benefit from 8gen2. using this phone feel it match my laptop
I have had this phone for a couple of days now,and the video is fantastic,the camera is very good as well.It let’s lots of light in in low light mode,I could even see a car parked car through the window,parked on the street when I was videoing inside a pub.On maximum zoom with the camera in photo mode though,the images become a little grainy,but over-all,
I am pleased with my S23.
Its a good phone but there’s other phones just as good for cheaper my xiaomi 12 pro was as good for gaming better game modes faster charger 120 watts in the box as well.Now 45 watts is bad for a phone this price no charger or case in the box.Now the good stuff screen is very good and very bright sound is loud and clear its very fast no matter what your doing.Feels premium in every way nice weight in the hand tho u will need 2.S pen is good tho i will probably not use it much the camera is great video is amazing so smooth even when your using one hand or walking fast.Over all i would give it 9 out of 10 so far tho the more time a spend with it the more it will probably go up as it was a 7 at first.
Firstly, I change my phones 6-10 times a year,(it’s an obsession) this year I don’t think I will.
I’ve just come from the Honor magic 4 pro, which is a brilliant phone and I do miss some features that, that phone has (3d face unlock etc) but this Galaxy feels different. The snapdragon 8gen 2 is brilliant, the battery life is phenomenal, no need for the fast charging that I had with my honor, it lasts all day. I usually wake up between 5-6 and go to bed about 22:00 and I go to bed with about 30/40 % still left, it’s just brilliant.
I use Nova launcher and I’ve seen some stutter/lag, I.e the phone not responding to my fingerprint/face, but I put this down to Nova launcher, and hopefully this can be resolved in an update.
Camera is superb, phone cases are abundant, unlike the Chinese phones I usually go for. Overall, very pleased and I’ll be keeping this one.
After th regular S21, this is amazing.
Battery life 1-2 days easily, no need to worry about drain while phone screen is off or fake battery percentage and fast drain after a bit of sleep anymore.
Screen is amazing, colors and quality is just top notch, heavier and bigger ofc but its so comfortable compared to Iphone pro max in comparison.
Camera is amazing, finally I am having much better color accuracy and way more detailed and better colors, shadows, HDR, ..etc it’s just very good and much better than the S21 for example, specially at night
Phone is smoother and much more fluid than my S21, also no more heat when I am doing simple stuff like maps and gps and much cooler on heavy computations of gaming.
The green color looks amazing and just nothing to complain about regarding the design, with the right amount of curve for the screen and great looking camera rings with curved sides is just good
Overall I think this is a very good overall package, nothing missing here really.
First Samsung phone I had was a Galaxy S5.. bought back in 2014.. Then I got myself an S6..and until recently it served me very well. However that was a long time ago and it’s reached the point where a much needed upgrade is needed.. So I went for the latest
model and I have to say I am very impressed.. The quality of build, the weight is not heavy, at least not for me and only adds to the feel that you own something of quality..It’s insanely snappy, the quality of the screen is so sharp and a pleasure to view, the addition of the s-pen is very welcome… As for the camera, being a very avid photographer, I own a Sony RX10iv and am very happy with the results I have gotten using it, however I am astonished with the quality of image, that you can capture with the s23 ultra, are, for a smartphone, truly amazing.
If your are an android fan and you want the best Samsung has to offer, you will most definitely not be disappointed with the S23 Ultra, in every respect, it is most definitely Samsungs best ever phone.. So it isn’t exactly inexpensive but once you get one in your hands, only then will you understand.
Oh and the battery life, is excellent..I can use it all day and still have at least 30-35% battery left, before dropping it onto the wireless charger, before bed.
I highly recommend the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
Excellent upgrade over my old trusted S10 plus, with really good camera and screen. I love the solid weighty build quality, with phone weight perhaps an issue to some others. Shame no screen protector came fitted as standard like previous Samsungs, as I have found third party protectors from Amazon are horrible to apply without bubbles being present.
Got this to replace my Poco F1. So much faster and very little bloat. Security patches are coming through on time and the phone is so fast. When it as switched on first, a wizard appeared that guided me on how to transfer my data and applications. It was seamless and fast as I used the USB C supplied. But no screen protector was provided and finding one that does not interfere with the ultrasonic finger reader is difficult to find.
Amazing smoothness in the screen thanks to the refresh rate, super fast finger print reader which I literally just tap to unlock my phone, feels like I’ll never run out of storage, games run fast and smoothly.
Finally: the camera and the S Pen. Was able to take two separate photos of an “automatic door” sign far away from my accommodation flat with the 12MP camera and it was still blurry. But once I put the 100X zoom in action I could clearly read out “Automatic door”. I’ll post the pictures for you to see. With the S Pen I can literally take notes as if I was holding a book and my favourite feature is the off screen air commands that make me look like a wizard while controlling my phone’s media.
Ok, so I’ve had a couple of bad experiences in the past with Samsung phones, mainly down to the Exynos processor being so inferior to the Snapdragon, which created performance issues. So when I saw this phone will have the Snapdragon 2nd Gen processor in the UK, I decided to take a chance. And I’m happy to report this phone is absolutely incredible!
I’ve used OnePlus phones since 2019 and charging from OP to Samsung meant a different software experience. But what I find One UI 5 does is bring you a much nicer experience. The UI doesn’t feel heavy and laggy, instead it feels much lighter and works well with the phone’s hardware. I find my user experience to be butter smooth and very fast!
The display on this phone is absolutely amazing. I like the fact that you have a squared look rather than rounded corners. Watching videos in landscape are nothing short of breathtaking. Samsung make the best phone panels in the business and they will always reserve their best for their flagships.
The cameras on this phone work well. I have no complaints about the pictures and videos I have taken so far. You get the minor delay in image processing, but that’s because the software is creating the best possible output for photo you have taken.
The battery life on this phone is very good too. I’m getting around 7-8 hours screen on time. When you have QHD switched on with a number of widgets and background processes, you’ll always get more drain than running minimal services. But I have a lot running and can make the best of the phone, without worrying too much about battery life. The phone doesn’t charge in 59 mins, it takes just over an hour for me. But I’m hardly gonna lose sleep over 10 mins extra charge time.
Overall, I 100% recommend this phone. I am very, very fussy about my phone experience. I notice lags and stutters which a few may not. But this phone meets all my expectations and I am a very happy Samsung customer.
I pre ordered my S23 Ultra and received it the day before it was released I love this phone! It feels like a massive upgrade from my S21, massive being the operative word. The screen is huge and looks incredible, the photos are fantastic and really easy to adjust using the S-pen. The music is clearer and louder through Bluetooth and the on-board speakers are very good for a phone! The battery is already lasting longer than the S21 and the fingerprint reader seems more responsive.
I highly recommend this phone, you won’t be disappointed with it!
it’s a bit heavy but actually it feels good in the hands. A great upgrade for buyers like me, who has a 3 years old Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. But I guess for potential buyers, who has the last year’s phone. I think the upgrade is not for you. I’d be testing this device particularly for its Battery Life, which was according to GSMarena it has a great battery life comparable to iPhone 13 and 14 pro max. Whish was one of the reasons why I bought this phone. Besides the Camera unit is awesome.
Of course I’m at awe cause I’m from a 3 years old phone. Hopefully same as my Samsung Note 10, this S23 Ultra would last me 3 years or even more.
I’ll post an update after a month or two.
Update 18/02/23
Battery is great.
No regrets at all. fully charged within an hour and it usually last me 7 to 8 hours continuous use or its screen time. Camera is far superior to my previous note 10+, which is expected of course. the front camera and it’s night shots are part to an iPhone, and might even a bit greater than an iPhone. Sound is awesome. No problems with NFC, was able to use my GooglePay without any hassle at all.
