Both my wife and i recently switched from iphone to android. Not a single regret made, absolutely performs better than the iphone. Camera isnt even arguable, it just shocks me coming from an iphone for many years. We both got the s23 ultra in phantom and the light pink color. These phones just changed the way we see apple now. Personally im a new android fan now lol.
@jaysupa1882 We are in our early 20s to to late 20s. Im soon turning 30, the apple products that both me and my wife have ever used its airpods (mostly) never apple care or any of the other stuff lol. We just dont see any benefit using it. For us it wasnt hard to let go of apple because of what we had for the last few years. Personally im now a huge fan of samsung because of what they offer and however much discounts and deals they have often. Its amazing, you dont really see that with apple, its just student discojnts, now with samsung that caught my attention is their huge steal deals. Dont be afraid to switch if you want to try something new. Apple is easy but android you can create your own ways of using their products.
@jaysupa1882im 25 and always had newest iphone for like 8 years have apple card still but had apple watch, pods, etc . I still use the apple card to this day just make payments on website or get a old iphone to make them. Been seitched for about 3 months and love it.
I really love Apple but starting to get fed up. The charging ports are weak.. I constantly have issues with it no matter what. My camera won’t work and its not great when it does… the s23 ultra has me like debating but I love apple so much😭 I feel like I’d regret losing certain stuff
@jaysupa1882 my air pod pros work perfectly on my s23u. They even have apps to support them. I also have the watch which now is just collecting dust but. I don't think you'll regret switching. The screens/camera/colors etc are second to none on samsung. Android auto is the same as Apple play. Spotify instead of Apple music you have options. Fast charging, better battery, screen, camera, colors #1
Great content. You keep mentioning price. If you get it through a carrier. It will cost 57 bucks a month. It's much more affordable. You forgot Dex. Multitasking.
The camera is sadly not the best. This title goes to Huawei P60 pro. And Video goes to the iPhone 14 pro. Performance is not the best. This title goes to Red Magic 8 Pro+ and Asus ROG phone 7 Ultimate. Build quality is not the best. This title goes to iPhone 14 pro/max (but it is the best in the android camp) Battery life is not the best. Most mid range phones beat it. And in the flagship category it comes 2nd-3rd (behind the iPhone 14 pro Max, Rog Phone 7/U and Honor M5 pro) The screen is top tier, better than the S22 , but not the absolute best (low PWM dimming and no 10 bit) Software support is the best for Android, but the best overall is Apple. Security is the best because of samsung knox and knox vault (ties with Apple and Google). S Pen is the best ( better than Apple's equivalent pen or any other manufacturer who makes smart pens) You could say it is the best phone overall because it is an excellent all-rounder(+ the unique S pen feature) and top tier in every solo category, but it is not the king in most of these solo categories.
It's in the top tier in every category. We shouldn't be comparing this in performance to a gaming phone no one will buy. It's right there in the top tier. Same with display, and Camera. Can't get Huawei in the US. So in the US it's right there, either the best or the top tier in every category, making it like you said, the best all around phone in my opinion.
I normally upgrade my Samsung phones every year. But when I got the S23 Ultra, I think I will upgrade again after 3 or 4 years from now. The best Samsung phone ever while I still have my Note 20 Ultra and keep it.
Uhhh...so you obviously don't upgrade every year. The Note 20 is 3 years old. If you actually did upgrade every year, you would know the S22U is the exact same phone as the S23U, with a less-efficient processor and a little less bass from the speakers.
@@monstermayankThere can be some shutter speed problems indoors. Not always I must say, but the issue can occur. Outdoors I have found the shutter speed issue fades, especially if you pan to follow a moving target for some reason. I get razor sharp dead stop images doing this.
@@rockowilson2320Indeed the Pixel is great for moving subjects. Camera asides though the Pixel is a league below the 23U in many areas. It it cheaper for a reason.
I'm way overdue for an upgrade. I've done my research and love Androids. So, I'm going from an S9+ to S23U. I'm excited. I've watched and saved many videos on features, Spen feature videos, what to do as soon as I get it activated, settings to adjust, etc. I am crazy excited to have all the features, especially more space, better camera, etc. I'm still watching case reviews and deciding on a case.
Otter box defender is the best case possible this is a 2k phone. This otter box has raised edges for the screen and camera. It isn't bulky at all. 10/10 recommended for protection and looks/feel
Yeah, I'm loving this phone too! I originally had the wifi problem where it would drop my connect over a dozen times a day. It was fixed for me with the April security update and I haven't looked back since! Also, I translate media from Japanese to English as a hobby and the S-Pen is amazing for simply handwriting kanji to search in dictionaries! With handwriting recognition, the phone can easily understand the characters I write quickly and accurately, meaning I don't have to know how to pronounce/spell the word to look it up. Not a normal use case but I've been using Galaxy Note devices for years because of this! Great video as always!
Thanks so much for the support. It means a lot. Good to hear about your experiences and I'm glad you got your issues fixed with the April update. The s pen is definitely a game changer for a lot of people
You are a Samsung fanboy Wait till you experience that wonderful battery life you going to be turning all that high refresh rate bullshit down just to save battery basically you're going to end up with a fucking really expensive mid-range lol scamsung bug sung same song pure garbage voice dictation on the Google Pixel is miles better turn off sync keeper haptics in your Valium low if you want to make it through a day I got double the battery life on my 3-year-old LG v60 his phone is embarrassingly bad battery life which is one of the most important things you can get in the phone cuz you're just going to turn all that high refresh rate shit down to save battery which if you look back as a reason a lot of you bought this phone just to turn it down I love the contradiction I love the realization when people say man this battery sucks it gets me forming a chub in my pants and after turning all that shit down to save battery you're left with a $1,200 phone that you have to make sacrifices on at $1,200 it should have a good everything shouldn't have to turn shit off to save battery but the sheep don't see
I'm learning Japanaese. How do you use the S-Pen to translate kanji and have it auto search in dictionaries? I'm thinking of buying this phone in like a week.
I just got this phone a little while and I'm absolutely in love with it. I automatically changed it to the quad HD setting. The highest-resolution available for the phone.
I got my Green Galaxy S23 ULTRA last month as my very first Samsung Galaxy smartphone device and I just tried out the Nightography, The quality was fantastic, including the zoom in close up of the Moon 🌕, I don't need to upgrade to the S24 ULTRA because I just found out that the Galaxy AI is coming to the S23 ULTRA very soon, so I'll be skipping the S24 ULTRA and wait for the S25 ULTRA In 2025 that's when I start upgrading.
Great video! I have a pixel 7 pro that’s had to be replaced three times already by Google. Yes…. 3 times! I love the pixel phones, but about every three months I start getting the green screen of death, once the phone overheats, the screen starts to flash, and then I get the green flashes on the side of the screen when you turn it on or off. I’m on my third phone and this one is just started to do it. So I’m thinking of making the switch to Samsung. Thanks for the video was very informative!
I'm just now needing a third exchange as well for the pixel 7 pro under a 2 year time span. The replacement "like new" refurbished phone was worse and failed faster than the original. Battery overheats, drains extremely fast, charging port loose and cord won't stay.
it's crazy isn't it? For this replacement, I've shut off 5G, and when I use maps in my car, I bought a phone holder that attaches to the vent, so the phone can stay cool. So far it's been ok... fingers crossed @@Badmotherfuckerism
The samsung s23 ultra is a great phone but I'm disappointed with the battery life. I struggle to get a whole days use out of it. The camera is incredible especially if you shoot in raw. The auto mode the quality is lacking. Too much over processing make the photos look like paintings. The raw quality though is amazing. The fast charging is a bonus and somewhat makes up for the average battery life.
Yes. The cameras are subjective. Not as true to life as a Pixel phone. But more pleasing to the eye at times. Some people will prefer other photos. Which makes sense
Are you kidding me?are you talking about the s22u or s23u?the battery life is great on this phone,much better than the predecessor.I get at least 6 and half to 7 hours sot with constant usage
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is technically far ahead of anything that's available in the market today. As someone who owns both S23 Ultra and iPhone 13 pro, I certainly appreciate how much the Ultra makes my life easier especially at work with its unique capabilities like Dex and S pen. Its smooth, fast and leaves no stones unturned. The experience is just unparalleled.
Another great feature the Galaxy S23 Ultra has is the reverse charging capability. For example, lay your smart watch or ear buds on the back of the cell phone and it will charge them.
I have shift from iphone 12 to this beast and it is a breath of fresh air 😄 the battery on this is so good and i am a heavy user. I can get 8 to 9 hrs of screen time.
Fantastic video! I’m considering an S23 Ultra or Razr Plus 2023, and I know they are completely different, but you have me leaning toward the S23 Ultra! I’m an iPhone 13 Pro Max user, and I’m just sooooo bored!
It's so hard to tell in your situation. The Razr is really all about fun. It's about the unique utility. It's about using a small outer display, it's about a fun form factor. It's about trying something new. The S23 Ultra is about better cameras, an s pen, an overall better phone with better battery life. Maybe it will seem fun coming from an iPhone. Just trying something new. But it's a tough call
I got my s23 on a contract deal which included galaxy buds 2, a case and the 45w charger for 1200 pounds that to me makes it worth it to me and im glad i did as i was really impressed with the performance and battery life, much better than my old s20 plus 10/10
bro u could have bought almost 2 s23s with 1200 pounds .why would u pay that much for just an s23,whoever offer u that deal completely scammed u and u fell for it 💀
I'm an ipone 14 pro max user and i have to say the animations and smoothness on the s23 ultra looks smoother now than on the iphone. The only reason why i stuck with iphone was because of how smooth they used to be but now they lost that battle. Especially with these ios 17 betas they are freaking trash! They lag/freeze/turn off etc. They better come up with the original ios 17 up date before i switch to the s23 ultra.
Not as well. That's one of the benefits of the pixel. It's a little better with less shutter lag. I do think the issue of shutterlag is a little overblown. But there is still more sugar lag on the samsung. There are ways to improve it through the settings and I did hear a recent update is coming to fix a lot of it. But I obviously can't guarantee that and haven't tested that update out
I just got one in 512G. I've had a One Plus 7 Pro for probably 5-6 years prior. Loved the One Plus but ran out of memory and had charging issues and a broken back glass. Definitely been impressed thus far with the S23 Ultra.
I have a oneplus 7t pro, I'm planning on switching to the s24 ultra, is it worth upgrading ?, would i feel the difference? coz uk 7t pro was already quite smooth already.
Worst review I v ever seen, the guy is extremely excited of this device , during there is many smartphones with Snapdragon 8 gen 2 , similar camera resolution, and definitely most of flagship models got a super bright amoled 4 k screen 😂.
So. In the US. We've got the OnePlus 11. And what else? A Motorola with terrible software support and slow updates? With a worse camera? A OnePlus 11 with a worse camera? A Pixel 7 Pro (which I love) with a worse screen, worse camera (subjective but still) and a worse fingerprint reader. I didn't even mention none of these phones have styluses. Again for phones in the US, there are competitors. Maybe even phones that are a better "value", but as I said in the review, there aren't many ones in the US that are a better overall package
I couldn't agree more I've been an apple 'fan boy' since 2007. But I decided to give the s23 ultra after messing around with it at bestbuy and I'm blown away how customizable it is the camera is ridiculous even though I the iPhone still has better video but the Spen is amazing and actually very very helpful. But I'm very very pleased with the choice I made and will be getting the next galaxy when it comes out no doubt.
Yeah there's no doubt that the iPhone is terrific. And that the video quality is slightly better. But one thing about Android in general is that it's a lot more customizable and Galaxy of course just has a lot of extra features that a lot of Android phones don't have.. Samsung dex is amazing too.
The snapdragon gen 2 isnt just good on all phones that use it because it is. But on the samsungs its especially good due to the extra clocks and improvements per usual. Samsung always gets special treatment with there snapdragons lol.
Thanks for the review boss. I was in the market for a new phone before I go on a long trip, and it's been 5 or 6 years since I upgraded. I'm a Samsung guy, so I was looking for the latest flagship (was a fan of the Note series), and this looks like a good spiritual successor to that line as I've heard it is. Looking astounding from this video alone.
I'm thinking about getting this phone. It's going to be an upgrade from the LG V60 ThinQ dual screen. This review really REALLY put this phone in the running for me. The other one is going to be one of them Google phones, but....I am a fanboy of Samsung.
I usually get a new iphone every year and periodically get a new Android. I finally traded my Note 20 Ultra for the s23 ultra and it is surprisingly so much better. Battery is awesome. Still have the s-pen. Its way quicker all the way around. Camera is awesome. I think the camera on the s23 is the best - but video is the best on iPhone because their stablization is much better. But Samsung is getting there. If it's time for an update - most definitely get this phone. Worth the money. Oh, and Samsung gave me $600 trade on my Note 20 Ultra, so it made great sense to update.
Gave back the s21 ultra bcs battery is really bad on exynos and it overheats fast, but s23u gave me a very sweet taste with its magnific battery (8h sot full settings and display max quality) ,beautiful display and amazing processor that rarely heats
With Samsung partnering with Google on having their software and other stuff now their devices will be even better than they have always been, Samsung is known for top quality products that outdoes the competition.
And i love my S23u! This is what smartphone is all about! Especially thanks to the s-pen one UI and Dex combination. Make this the all around king of smartphones imho
Yeah. Flips and Folds have a lot of unique utility but the durability issues are still there. Dealing with those screen protectors is a big pain too. You're in a good spot with the Ultra
I hear you. It's always tough to know when to upgrade. The older phones are always a better value but the improvements on the newer phones can really make it worth it. It's a really tough decision
I’ve had various iPhones since 2015. Before that, I was always about Android. This specific phone is making me so excited about Android again!!! My current phone is an iPhone XS.
You seem like a pretty good candidate for this phone. I don't often recommend people switch. Most people end up frustrated. But you have a lot of history
Just bought one today, the AT&T store was having a special, traded in my 5 year old Galaxy S9 and recieved an $800 credit, so my new ultra cost me $400, looks like the fortunes smiled on me for a change.
One thing that Samsung always does an amazing job with the speakers on all of their phones nomatter which one it is , all of their devices have very good quality speakers that are nice and loud.
That's not true. The S23U speakers are a big upgrade from previous generations. The Note 10+ had great speakers, but the subsequent models were a step backward. Also, I find it hilarious how so many first timers are so enamored by the S23U that they think it is new and unique. The S22U is literally the same phone with a less efficient processor and less fullness of sound from the speakers.
The S23 Ultra is well worth it if a person plans on holding it for 5+ years. Especially for adults in white collar professional fields that use the S pen. If you are not doing anything that needs the S pen nor the CPU speeds, get a Pixel 8 or iPhone 14.
I upgraded from the note 20 ultra and the s23u is a lovely phone. I'm pleased that I upgraded. The biggest plus is the battery life, it lasts so much longer. Just as an example when I was at work my phone would spend time in airplane mode and only used during the breaks but by the end of my shift the battery was 50% or lower. With the s23u it still above 80 for the same sort of usage. Overall the screen and camera is great. Really pleased with the upgrade.
Me and my old lady have the s23 ultra I'm thinking of getting the z fold 5 and giving her my tab s6 lite cause she won't like it if I have 3 devices (the fold 5, s23 ultra and tab s6 lite)and our daughter has the lte version of the tab A7 lite
the fact is that all the AMOLED displays that are used by other phones including iphone or chines phones are made by Samsung, so Samsung is always the best of course, in term of amoled display,,thats the truth...
I'm locked into the Samsung ecosystem: after taking notes on a Samsung tablet with Samsung Notes, I purchased a Samsung phone & laptop so I have note access on all my devices.
My fiance just ordered math phone as my birthday present I own a s21 ultra 512 gb but im getting s23 ultra 512 so I'm hoping its gonna be better ive never had the s pen
S23 ultra don't support 4k dex over usb c to hdmi cable Thought I would leave this out here in case any1 wanting to know this, just got the new s23 ultra a day back, was plugging it in to my pc monitor to watch a movie and view some holiday pictures using usb c to hdmi cable and the maximum resolution option on dex settings is 1080p. This is very surprising to me because my old note 20 ultra supports 4k on the exact same simple setup (usb c to hdmi cable).All Huawei models support HDMI also. Edit: Found out the new Samsung Galaxy all of them doesn't support this anymore
That's a tough call. I've been hearing rumors that we will get the s24 sooner than normal. But it's hard to say exactly when it's coming out. You could always make the argument to wait for the next model. Right now if you buy it at a good time, especially around Black Friday, you will probably have some really good sales. Those are sales. You won't get on the s24 for months and months. So that may be one factor for you. I would either buy during a big sale or wait. The big sales are coming, Black Friday. Deals are already showing up at some places
It's really hard to leave that apple ecosystem. Don't feel bad if you decide not to. For me it's not a big deal to tell my family members to use Facebook Messenger to send pictures. But most of the time they just text me like normal and it's not a big deal. We use Facebook Messenger for video calls. So I don't need iMessage like a lot of people. But a lot of people are pretty deep in it and it's completely understandable. Just be patient with the process of transferring all your data to the new phone. And give yourself time to adjust. And if you don't like it, don't be yourself up. It's a little hard to adjust to something new and some people just can't. With all that being said, it's definitely an incredible camera with some incredible features and the phone itself is amazing too. Plus you get a lot more flexibility with Android. Hope you enjoy it
@@AndroidDigestI’m not really into the Apple Ecosystem, I just got bored by the closed system I previously owned note 20 ultra but the battery wasn’t something I could brag about. However I’ve seen a lot of reviews about the S23 ultra and how amazing it is. iMessage and FaceTime already have good alternatives so I definitely could use them, my family and friends already use WhatsApp and Facebook messenger so it’s not really a hassle for me. If the s23 ultra performance and battery serves me well I’m certain I’ll gift the 13 pro max to my brother and leave the apple Ecosystem for a breath of fresh air. Thanks for the reply!
Went from Note 10+ to the Ultra 23, got it through AT&T huge discount...just a three year contract with trade in. I work for a government contract company and the pen gets used everyday. I like making my phone my phone, android is a key. Enjoyed the video 😇
This phone is so good that it's almost problematic I can't get off the thing.. Right now I'm at 17 hours and 52 minutes screen on time using it today, I don't even use my TVs anymore barely
You shouldn't even be awake that long 😂😂. To get 8 hours of sleep, you should only have 16 hours of use and that would include using your phone while you're in the bathroom, while you're eating, at work, you need to take a break man
@@AndroidDigest I only sleep about 4 hours a night due to my crazy work schedule . And then I go to sleep to RUclips videos, starting off my day now With an hour 36 minutes Sot ....Id recommend the app "screen time " nice way to track your sot
Best phone indeed...in terms of overall, but the only thing that they can't seem to polish since the S10 series, is the camera focusing speed. In terms point and shoot, they've still haven't caught up with ZSL algorithm that Google introduced more than 5 yrs ago with the Pixel 2. I have the 23U, a Pixel 6 and some cheap Oppo phone. More often than not, the Pixel and even a cheap chinese phone can give me better confidence in taking a perfectly focused shot on the first take, than the S23U.
Thank you for your very detailed and excellent presentation. You have definitely help me to make my mind up! Going to try to get one. I currently have the Google Pixel 6 Pro and this is the only Samsung phone that comes close to its very high quality specs. The battery on my Pixel 6 Pro drains very quickly now and the phone has overheated several times so I am pretty much done with Google for now. On top of that, it is all over the internet that there are several problems with the new Pixel 7 pro including overheating and green screen problems that have NOT been fixed by software updates!
Then keep enjoying it. Next time you upgrade you will get a massive amount of operating system updates too. Whenever you upgrade you won't need to keep upgrading.
Help. Have been always an android user. Hesitating between 14 pro max and the S23 ultra. Main use: social media. Have the feeling social media are perfectly optimised on iPhone 😢. Is this s23 ultra solving this ?
I can't lie. As a hardcore Android user that won't sniff anything Apple, I have heard the social media is slightly better optimized. I don't notice it much on X or Facebook. My pictures look amazing. But if you use the camera INSIDE the app for snapchat or something, I did hear that's better on iPhone. But if you are just posting photos you took outside the app, I think you won't notice any difference on social media. Hopefully this helps some.
The OnePlus 11 was like $580 recently for example. Obviously the camera won't be as good. But similar speeds. Screen quality. Faster charging speeds. It's not the ultra. No DeX. But it's still a good option. When it comes to flagship phones I think you can find a ton of phones that are 80% as good for a lot cheaper. But it comes down to if you are just wanting to save money or if you are really wanting one of the best phones. The Ultra is phenomenal
I wouldn't say 90 percent of the ultra, maybe 60 percent, that's not enough and galaxy users enjoy discounts as preorder and early purchasers, i won't disagree with you I think your under estimating what the ultra can do if you feel the experience can be matched that close by that one device lol.
Pixel phones are for children, not adults. Pixel ppl always ignore thr annual issues that the Pixel phone has. Camera shutting off for 4k recording overheating? Lol what a joke
I do disagree. But if your main argument is that this phone is better I'll agree. The Pixel phones tend to get warm and be a little buggier. But I just bought a Pixel 7 Pro used for like $400. It can be a good value for some people. But it's not perfect and I do agree that the S23 Ultra is better
I went from the Pixel 7 Pro, to the S23 Ultra and (mostly) loving it. The battery life, and the selfie camera are the best part for me. I find that most of the photos from the primary 200mp camera are not necessarily better than the Pixel tbh. I rarely get a non-blurry photo of my dog, unlike when using the Pixel. The 3x and 10x zoom cameras are super useful, and fun to play with. The only things I miss on the Pixel is the speech to text, it’s next level compared to the version available on the Galaxy. And the “continued conversation” with the Google Assistant. That allowed for multiple questions/commands without having to say ”Hey Google” every time.
I 100% agree with you. The pictures from the pixel phone are subjective because the colors are a little more accurate than the Galaxy phone. The Galaxy phone takes better pictures of nature and it has more versatility with the zoom. But it's not necessarily better in every situation. With the things I take pictures with it's definitely a lot better. But it can vary. But the battery life and the performance is better than pixel and I like how the phone doesn't overheat like my pixel phones would. Maybe they wouldn't overheat but they would get a little toasty. So everyone is different as far as which phone they prefer in the end. I'd still argue this is probably the best phone, but not by much, and some people will just prefer a phone like a pixel and I wouldn't blame them
@AndroidDigest I completely agree that the S23 Ultra is still the overall better phone. I'm very happy that I made the switch. This coming from a former Pixel fan boy. 🤫
@@monstermayankI believe shutter lag has always been an issue with Samsung. They've definitely improved it a lot with the S23 Ultra, but it's still very much there. If you're mainly going to be taking pics of younger kids or pets, I honestly wouldn't recommend it over the Pixel. Otherwise it's a much better device overall.
If snap 8 gen2 was the main cause, other phone should have equivalent bat. But they don't. So let's give some SDI(SS BATTERY CORP) some credit for their break thru tech on making round battery pack feasible as for Tesla and they recently announced that they will start producing solid state battery early as next year. This means longest lasting, fastest charging, and doubling life span. 😁
I switched from s20 ultra which I've had for 3 years and the first thing that blew my mind was the sound omg it blew me a way and bassy this is my first stylus phone what about that there is only 8 gig memory instead of what I had on the s20 ultra will this make a difference
Oh yeah, sound and a stylus. I don't think the lower ram will make a difference at all, 8 GB is more than enough. You can still run 15 apps at the same time no issue, so I wouldn't stress. Just guessing on that number, but yeah, you will have no problems.
@AndroidDigest even compared to phones today. Outside of not getting new OS updates which is Samsung's choice (as opposed to a physical limitation of the phone), it does pretty much most of what the s23 ultra does for 1/3 the price if you don't need the fastest chip for intensive high demand games. Headphone jack, expandable storage, spen and speaker on the right side of the phone for right handed users, nice 1440p display. I will say that the squared off physical design of the s23 ultra is better though. 5 years old and it has a 4k mAh battery vs the 5k on the s23 ultra. 6.4 vs 6.8 inch display. It still truly is a legit competitor (factoring in price and how most people use their phones) and a benchmark for all modern phones. It's the last great note and in my opinion the last great phone Samsung has made.
Dumb question maybe but if I get this S23, will all the same Apps on my iPhone (11 Pro Max) be ported over easily to the S23? - Also, It looks like the S23 has a much better camera And a slightly bigger screen (6.8” to 6.7”), And no big ass annoying notch to interfere with watching content. - Lastly, does this phone use USB-C charging? Thx.
Thanks for subbing by the way. Appreciate you. Sorry for the late response. Yes it uses usb-c charging. As far as apps, to my knowledge, no. You will have to reinstall. But to me it's worth going through that hassle. As far as other things, yes, you can use their transfer tools to get contacts at least and pictures from your phone. As long as you go through the android setup process and transfer through that, or through Samsung smart switch after. But either way it's a hassle. But once you do it once, you can stay on board.

That's awesome!! Welcome over. The water feels great over here on the Android side
@jaysupa1882 We are in our early 20s to to late 20s. Im soon turning 30, the apple products that both me and my wife have ever used its airpods (mostly) never apple care or any of the other stuff lol. We just dont see any benefit using it. For us it wasnt hard to let go of apple because of what we had for the last few years. Personally im now a huge fan of samsung because of what they offer and however much discounts and deals they have often. Its amazing, you dont really see that with apple, its just student discojnts, now with samsung that caught my attention is their huge steal deals.

@jaysupa1882im 25 and always had newest iphone for like 8 years have apple card still but had apple watch, pods, etc . I still use the apple card to this day just make payments on website or get a old iphone to make them. Been seitched for about 3 months and love it.
I really love Apple but starting to get fed up. The charging ports are weak.. I constantly have issues with it no matter what. My camera won’t work and its not great when it does… the s23 ultra has me like debating but I love apple so much😭 I feel like I’d regret losing certain stuff
@jaysupa1882 my air pod pros work perfectly on my s23u. They even have apps to support them. I also have the watch which now is just collecting dust but. I don't think you'll regret switching. The screens/camera/colors etc are second to none on samsung.
Android auto is the same as Apple play. Spotify instead of Apple music you have options.
Fast charging, better battery, screen, camera, colors #1
Great content. You keep mentioning price. If you get it through a carrier. It will cost 57 bucks a month. It's much more affordable. You forgot Dex. Multitasking.
Yes. DeX is another piece to this. Just one I didn't get into. I was already pretty heavy on time. But Dex is another great feature
Brother. Buy it once one ui 6 is out. It transforms the user experience from a 9.25/10 to a solid 9.75/10
That's awesome. I heard it's coming soon. Very excited
The camera is sadly not the best. This title goes to Huawei P60 pro. And Video goes to the iPhone 14 pro.
Performance is not the best. This title goes to Red Magic 8 Pro+ and Asus ROG phone 7 Ultimate.
Build quality is not the best. This title goes to iPhone 14 pro/max (but it is the best in the android camp)
Battery life is not the best. Most mid range phones beat it. And in the flagship category it comes 2nd-3rd (behind the iPhone 14 pro Max, Rog Phone 7/U and Honor M5 pro)
The screen is top tier, better than the S22 , but not the absolute best (low PWM dimming and no 10 bit)
Software support is the best for Android, but the best overall is Apple. Security is the best because of samsung knox and knox vault (ties with Apple and Google).
S Pen is the best ( better than Apple's equivalent pen or any other manufacturer who makes smart pens)
You could say it is the best phone overall because it is an excellent all-rounder(+ the unique S pen feature) and top tier in every solo category, but it is not the king in most of these solo categories.
It's in the top tier in every category. We shouldn't be comparing this in performance to a gaming phone no one will buy. It's right there in the top tier. Same with display, and Camera. Can't get Huawei in the US. So in the US it's right there, either the best or the top tier in every category, making it like you said, the best all around phone in my opinion.
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
I have a s20+ im looking to upgrade to the 256mb version on a deal about $600
If you get a deal like that not bad at all
I'm fan of pixel but this time I will switch to the galaxy s23 ultra because it's more versatile
I hear you. It is more versatile, and it's a more consistent experience overall.
Playing Playstation 2 games on this phone is a smooth breeze
Awesome, glad you're enjoying it.
Best phone ever made
Honestly I can't think of a better all around phone
I normally upgrade my Samsung phones every year. But when I got the S23 Ultra, I think I will upgrade again after 3 or 4 years from now. The best Samsung phone ever while I still have my Note 20 Ultra and keep it.
It's pretty incredible. I've owned a lot of Samsung phones and this one is incredible. It's in a league of it's own
@@AndroidDigestAgree. Their best flagship model so far.
Uhhh...so you obviously don't upgrade every year. The Note 20 is 3 years old. If you actually did upgrade every year, you would know the S22U is the exact same phone as the S23U, with a less-efficient processor and a little less bass from the speakers.
@@skankytrickhe is sayin he will keep this one, like he did with note 20 even after getting new ones cuz he liked it
@@skankytrickbulshit
S23's Camera Is Awesome
Yep. It's incredible
Not for moving pets, or children unfortunately. Definitely the most versatile camera setup. Pixel is better for moving subjects 100%.
@@rockowilson2320why? Is there a shutter lag in the camera or the shutter speed is low?
@@monstermayankThere can be some shutter speed problems indoors. Not always I must say, but the issue can occur. Outdoors I have found the shutter speed issue fades, especially if you pan to follow a moving target for some reason. I get razor sharp dead stop images doing this.
@@rockowilson2320Indeed the Pixel is great for moving subjects. Camera asides though the Pixel is a league below the 23U in many areas. It it cheaper for a reason.
I'm way overdue for an upgrade. I've done my research and love Androids. So, I'm going from an S9+ to S23U. I'm excited. I've watched and saved many videos on features, Spen feature videos, what to do as soon as I get it activated, settings to adjust, etc.
I am crazy excited to have all the features, especially more space, better camera, etc.
I'm still watching case reviews and deciding on a case.
Otter box defender is the best case possible this is a 2k phone. This otter box has raised edges for the screen and camera. It isn't bulky at all. 10/10 recommended for protection and looks/feel
Im also having an S9+ and staring at the s23 ultra
Im a bit on to Fold 5 but may not go for it
Thanks for the comment, means a lot, 21 likes is a ton on my channel so people loved it!
Yeah, I'm loving this phone too! I originally had the wifi problem where it would drop my connect over a dozen times a day. It was fixed for me with the April security update and I haven't looked back since! Also, I translate media from Japanese to English as a hobby and the S-Pen is amazing for simply handwriting kanji to search in dictionaries! With handwriting recognition, the phone can easily understand the characters I write quickly and accurately, meaning I don't have to know how to pronounce/spell the word to look it up. Not a normal use case but I've been using Galaxy Note devices for years because of this! Great video as always!
Thanks so much for the support. It means a lot. Good to hear about your experiences and I'm glad you got your issues fixed with the April update. The s pen is definitely a game changer for a lot of people
You are a Samsung fanboy Wait till you experience that wonderful battery life you going to be turning all that high refresh rate bullshit down just to save battery basically you're going to end up with a fucking really expensive mid-range lol scamsung bug sung same song pure garbage voice dictation on the Google Pixel is miles better turn off sync keeper haptics in your Valium low if you want to make it through a day I got double the battery life on my 3-year-old LG v60 his phone is embarrassingly bad battery life which is one of the most important things you can get in the phone cuz you're just going to turn all that high refresh rate shit down to save battery which if you look back as a reason a lot of you bought this phone just to turn it down I love the contradiction I love the realization when people say man this battery sucks it gets me forming a chub in my pants and after turning all that shit down to save battery you're left with a $1,200 phone that you have to make sacrifices on at $1,200 it should have a good everything shouldn't have to turn shit off to save battery but the sheep don't see
I'm learning Japanaese. How do you use the S-Pen to translate kanji and have it auto search in dictionaries? I'm thinking of buying this phone in like a week.
Moved from the s²² Ultra to the s²³ Ultra and immediately noticed the new Qualcomm Snapdragon soc makes a massive difference. Optimisation is insane.
Yeah. That processor is really the thing that helps so much. So much better than previous generations
@@AndroidDigest
Helps make my decision to replace our aging S20 Ultras that much easier.
Thanks
I just got this phone a little while and I'm absolutely in love with it. I automatically changed it to the quad HD setting. The highest-resolution available for the phone.
Nothing wrong with that. The battery life is so insane it doesn't matter all that much
Wish I was rich like you😢
@@oneanime8682 I wish I was rich to
@@user-mw5pn9wk2j it is 8 GB for all the models. Except for the 512 GB storage. That one gets 12 gigabytes of RAM
@user-mw5pn9wk2j yes, on the 256GB model but the storage speed is fast enough to use it as virtual ram.
Every Tech RUclipsr says Samsung is the best but all of them have an iPhone as their daily driver
Definitely not me 😂. I've been daily driving Pixel phones pretty much my whole life until this phone. I planned a daily drive the Z Flip 5 soon though
I absolutely love my s23 ultra beets phone ever I sold all my apple products went to Samsung ecosystem and couldn’t be more happier
That's awesome. I'm glad you really enjoying it
I got my Green Galaxy S23 ULTRA last month as my very first Samsung Galaxy smartphone device and I just tried out the Nightography, The quality was fantastic, including the zoom in close up of the Moon 🌕, I don't need to upgrade to the S24 ULTRA because I just found out that the Galaxy AI is coming to the S23 ULTRA very soon, so I'll be skipping the S24 ULTRA and wait for the S25 ULTRA In 2025 that's when I start upgrading.
I just compared the two phones in a recent video. You're onto something
Great video! I have a pixel 7 pro that’s had to be replaced three times already by Google. Yes…. 3 times! I love the pixel phones, but about every three months I start getting the green screen of death, once the phone overheats, the screen starts to flash, and then I get the green flashes on the side of the screen when you turn it on or off. I’m on my third phone and this one is just started to do it. So I’m thinking of making the switch to Samsung. Thanks for the video was very informative!
I've heard that a lot to be honest. If you read my comments someone else here also exchanged 3 times. Crazy. Gotta do what you gotta do
I'm just now needing a third exchange as well for the pixel 7 pro under a 2 year time span. The replacement "like new" refurbished phone was worse and failed faster than the original. Battery overheats, drains extremely fast, charging port loose and cord won't stay.
it's crazy isn't it? For this replacement, I've shut off 5G, and when I use maps in my car, I bought a phone holder that attaches to the vent, so the phone can stay cool. So far it's been ok... fingers crossed
@@Badmotherfuckerism
Love Pixel also, they can be odd at times.
The samsung s23 ultra is a great phone but I'm disappointed with the battery life. I struggle to get a whole days use out of it. The camera is incredible especially if you shoot in raw. The auto mode the quality is lacking. Too much over processing make the photos look like paintings. The raw quality though is amazing. The fast charging is a bonus and somewhat makes up for the average battery life.
Yes. The cameras are subjective. Not as true to life as a Pixel phone. But more pleasing to the eye at times. Some people will prefer other photos. Which makes sense
Are you kidding me?are you talking about the s22u or s23u?the battery life is great on this phone,much better than the predecessor.I get at least 6 and half to 7 hours sot with constant usage
@Joker-yu5kp it's the s23 ultra and no I'm not! I'm down to 15 percent battery by 5pm despite it being fully charged at 10am.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is technically far ahead of anything that's available in the market today. As someone who owns both S23 Ultra and iPhone 13 pro, I certainly appreciate how much the Ultra makes my life easier especially at work with its unique capabilities like Dex and S pen. Its smooth, fast and leaves no stones unturned. The experience is just unparalleled.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I couldn't agree more!
Another great feature the Galaxy S23 Ultra has is the reverse charging capability. For example, lay your smart watch or ear buds on the back of the cell phone and it will charge them.
Yeah, didn't even mention that
I have shift from iphone 12 to this beast and it is a breath of fresh air 😄 the battery on this is so good and i am a heavy user. I can get 8 to 9 hrs of screen time.
Yeah the processor really helped this phone to have much better battery life. And I'm pretty impressed with it overall
Fantastic video! I’m considering an S23 Ultra or Razr Plus 2023, and I know they are completely different, but you have me leaning toward the S23 Ultra! I’m an iPhone 13 Pro Max user, and I’m just sooooo bored!
It's so hard to tell in your situation. The Razr is really all about fun. It's about the unique utility. It's about using a small outer display, it's about a fun form factor. It's about trying something new. The S23 Ultra is about better cameras, an s pen, an overall better phone with better battery life. Maybe it will seem fun coming from an iPhone. Just trying something new. But it's a tough call
Really is, and I appreciate your input. Thanks!
Lol! I’m also an 14 Pro Max user and this video uas me leaning towards the S23U. 😊
Waaaaaaaaay late review 😂
Definitely late 😂😂
I got my s23 on a contract deal which included galaxy buds 2, a case and the 45w charger for 1200 pounds that to me makes it worth it to me and im glad i did as i was really impressed with the performance and battery life, much better than my old s20 plus 10/10
That is a great deal!
bro u could have bought almost 2 s23s with 1200 pounds .why would u pay that much for just an s23,whoever offer u that deal completely scammed u and u fell for it 💀
I'm an ipone 14 pro max user and i have to say the animations and smoothness on the s23 ultra looks smoother now than on the iphone. The only reason why i stuck with iphone was because of how smooth they used to be but now they lost that battle. Especially with these ios 17 betas they are freaking trash! They lag/freeze/turn off etc. They better come up with the original ios 17 up date before i switch to the s23 ultra.
Glad you're enjoying it! I hate iPhones even though they are still good, so always happy to see more android users.
How well does it take quick shots of moving objects? In comparison with Pixel 7 pro?
Not as well. That's one of the benefits of the pixel. It's a little better with less shutter lag. I do think the issue of shutterlag is a little overblown. But there is still more sugar lag on the samsung. There are ways to improve it through the settings and I did hear a recent update is coming to fix a lot of it. But I obviously can't guarantee that and haven't tested that update out
I just got one in 512G. I've had a One Plus 7 Pro for probably 5-6 years prior. Loved the One Plus but ran out of memory and had charging issues and a broken back glass. Definitely been impressed thus far with the S23 Ultra.
I have a oneplus 7t pro, I'm planning on switching to the s24 ultra, is it worth upgrading ?, would i feel the difference? coz uk 7t pro was already quite smooth already.
Worst review I v ever seen, the guy is extremely excited of this device , during there is many smartphones with Snapdragon 8 gen 2 , similar camera resolution, and definitely most of flagship models got a super bright amoled 4 k screen 😂.
So. In the US. We've got the OnePlus 11. And what else? A Motorola with terrible software support and slow updates? With a worse camera? A OnePlus 11 with a worse camera? A Pixel 7 Pro (which I love) with a worse screen, worse camera (subjective but still) and a worse fingerprint reader. I didn't even mention none of these phones have styluses.
Again for phones in the US, there are competitors. Maybe even phones that are a better "value", but as I said in the review, there aren't many ones in the US that are a better overall package
I couldn't agree more I've been an apple 'fan boy' since 2007. But I decided to give the s23 ultra after messing around with it at bestbuy and I'm blown away how customizable it is the camera is ridiculous even though I the iPhone still has better video but the Spen is amazing and actually very very helpful. But I'm very very pleased with the choice I made and will be getting the next galaxy when it comes out no doubt.
Yeah there's no doubt that the iPhone is terrific. And that the video quality is slightly better. But one thing about Android in general is that it's a lot more customizable and Galaxy of course just has a lot of extra features that a lot of Android phones don't have.. Samsung dex is amazing too.
@AndroidDigest yes I forgot to mention DEX it's definitely an amazing, awesome feature!
The Disappointment Thing Of This Phone Is That No Headphone Jack :(
It's so the establishment can scan your brain function with Bluetooth technology whilst watching your favourite RUclips channel
You live in a cave? Most high end devices no longer supports the 3.5 jack, unless you opt for Sony or cheap chinese phones.
Imagine using wired headphones lmao
For sure
The snapdragon gen 2 isnt just good on all phones that use it because it is. But on the samsungs its especially good due to the extra clocks and improvements per usual. Samsung always gets special treatment with there snapdragons lol.
Yeah, the processor is pretty great in these devices!
Thanks for the review boss. I was in the market for a new phone before I go on a long trip, and it's been 5 or 6 years since I upgraded. I'm a Samsung guy, so I was looking for the latest flagship (was a fan of the Note series), and this looks like a good spiritual successor to that line as I've heard it is. Looking astounding from this video alone.
Buy it man, u won't find a better android smartphone than this
It definitely is the best smartphone out there. Glad you came across this video. Hope you enjoyed it! And hope you made a good decision for yourself!
I upgraded from Note 10 plus to s23 ultra and felt happy after watching this video.
Awesome 😂 thanks
I see you're rocking a new background. Cool..
Yep. Trying to improve it more too
I have The Galaxy s23 ultra phantom black 500gb and 12gb ram ☺️
I have to say you are Right This Thing is a beast! ❤
For sure! A beast
I'm thinking about getting this phone. It's going to be an upgrade from the LG V60 ThinQ dual screen. This review really REALLY put this phone in the running for me. The other one is going to be one of them Google phones, but....I am a fanboy of Samsung.
It's definitely a worthwhile upgrade. Especially if you like the s pen
Not taking good moving pictures and lowlight indoor are deal breakers for me and the reason I didn’t keep it.
I hear that. A little shutter lag still. I did hear a big update is coming that may improve it. We'll see
Subjectivly and objectivly, the S23 Ultra is the best work of art of 2023
I usually get a new iphone every year and periodically get a new Android. I finally traded my Note 20 Ultra for the s23 ultra and it is surprisingly so much better. Battery is awesome. Still have the s-pen. Its way quicker all the way around. Camera is awesome. I think the camera on the s23 is the best - but video is the best on iPhone because their stablization is much better. But Samsung is getting there. If it's time for an update - most definitely get this phone. Worth the money. Oh, and Samsung gave me $600 trade on my Note 20 Ultra, so it made great sense to update.
That makes sense. That's a really good deal
After reading this I'm going to go with it , cause currently I have the Note 20 Ultra 5G
I currently have an iPhone 12 pro
Gave back the s21 ultra bcs battery is really bad on exynos and it overheats fast, but s23u gave me a very sweet taste with its magnific battery (8h sot full settings and display max quality) ,beautiful display and amazing processor that rarely heats
Exactly. I'm loving it
Good morning, I have an s21 ultra, when u got the s23 u, ..was it a big difference? I'm still debating to upgrade ..
Samsung Ultra 23 for the win upgraded it from the A20 and it has does wonders!
do you think s24 while be even better
I do. Pretty much every phone gets better the following year
With Samsung partnering with Google on having their software and other stuff now their devices will be even better than they have always been, Samsung is known for top quality products that outdoes the competition.
And i love my S23u! This is what smartphone is all about! Especially thanks to the s-pen one UI and Dex combination. Make this the all around king of smartphones imho
Yeah I didn't even mention DeX. Video was already getting long but Dex is huge
I have the s23 ultra it is a great phone and the issues with flips and folds are the camera's suck and for what you pay for them it isn't worth it.
Yeah. Flips and Folds have a lot of unique utility but the durability issues are still there. Dealing with those screen protectors is a big pain too. You're in a good spot with the Ultra
@AndroidDigest plus I love to take pictures so if I am going to spend money on a phone I want the best of the best.
I just brought my s23 ultra 🖤 🔥
Enjoy it!
I think the video quality on the s23 is amazing. The staplelization is really good
Yeah it really is. I'm pretty impressed
I have the S22U and keep going back snd forth on upgrading. One thing i want is the battery life of the S23U.
I hear you. It's always tough to know when to upgrade. The older phones are always a better value but the improvements on the newer phones can really make it worth it. It's a really tough decision
I’ve had various iPhones since 2015. Before that, I was always about Android. This specific phone is making me so excited about Android again!!! My current phone is an iPhone XS.
You seem like a pretty good candidate for this phone. I don't often recommend people switch. Most people end up frustrated. But you have a lot of history
Just bought one today, the AT&T store was having a special, traded in my 5 year old Galaxy S9 and recieved an $800 credit, so my new ultra cost me $400, looks like the fortunes smiled on me for a change.
Good, hope you enjoy it!
One thing that Samsung always does an amazing job with the speakers on all of their phones nomatter which one it is , all of their devices have very good quality speakers that are nice and loud.
Yeah. These are pretty much the best speakers I've heard on a phone
That's not true. The S23U speakers are a big upgrade from previous generations. The Note 10+ had great speakers, but the subsequent models were a step backward. Also, I find it hilarious how so many first timers are so enamored by the S23U that they think it is new and unique. The S22U is literally the same phone with a less efficient processor and less fullness of sound from the speakers.
Love mine, its a awsome phone, best i have had for many years😍👌🇧🇻

Thanks so much! Appreciated
There's no option in settings - to turn off, save screen capture notifications..

It's 1200 nits (HBM), 1750 nits (peak). I just forgot to mention that second part. I keep getting corrected in the comments now 😂.
I was able to get this phone off of google fi for a flat $500, i could not beat this steal of a deal.
Great deal!
Just got the 23 ultra and grabbed the iphone 14 for my girl, and i have to say she was a little jealous 😂😂
Haha, glad you knew the right way to go for yourself.
Traded in my paid off Pixel 6 Pro for the S23.
Not one regret whatsoever!! 😁
That's a great choice
The king is here,greetin from Dominican Repúblic
Thanks for the comment 👍
The S23 Ultra is well worth it if a person plans on holding it for 5+ years. Especially for adults in white collar professional fields that use the S pen. If you are not doing anything that needs the S pen nor the CPU speeds, get a Pixel 8 or iPhone 14.
For sure.
I upgraded from the note 20 ultra and the s23u is a lovely phone. I'm pleased that I upgraded. The biggest plus is the battery life, it lasts so much longer. Just as an example when I was at work my phone would spend time in airplane mode and only used during the breaks but by the end of my shift the battery was 50% or lower. With the s23u it still above 80 for the same sort of usage. Overall the screen and camera is great. Really pleased with the upgrade.
Funny enough a lot of other comments upgraded from the same phone
Bro, I wanna upgrade to this from the A21s
Best overall phone ever created in my opinion, I've had it for almost a year and it's incredible, battery life is INCREDIBLE
Oh yeah. It's a tremendous phone. I'm pretty blown away
It's barely 6 months old bro
Me and my old lady have the s23 ultra I'm thinking of getting the z fold 5 and giving her my tab s6 lite cause she won't like it if I have 3 devices (the fold 5, s23 ultra and tab s6 lite)and our daughter has the lte version of the tab A7 lite
Not a bad idea!
I can get the s23 ultra foe 240$ rn with my fold 4 trade in, but I want the fold 5 with the watch 6 😂
Yeah I think the Fold 5 is coming soon. You may want to wait
the fact is that all the AMOLED displays that are used by other phones including iphone or chines phones are made by Samsung, so Samsung is always the best of course, in term of amoled display,,thats the truth...
I love Samsung's amoled, it's great
I'm locked into the Samsung ecosystem: after taking notes on a Samsung tablet with Samsung Notes, I purchased a Samsung phone & laptop so I have note access on all my devices.
I don't blame you, the ecosystem is getting better
I love my s23 ultra 😍 ❤️
Nice video
Keep up the good work
Thanks! If you watch my recent comparison with the S24 Ultra, you will see I think it holds up pretty well to the s24
My fiance just ordered math phone as my birthday present I own a s21 ultra 512 gb but im getting s23 ultra 512 so I'm hoping its gonna be better ive never had the s pen
Sounds like a great plan
S23 ultra don't support 4k dex over usb c to hdmi cable
Thought I would leave this out here in case any1 wanting to know this, just got the new s23 ultra a day back, was plugging it in to my pc monitor to watch a movie and view some holiday pictures using usb c to hdmi cable and the maximum resolution option on dex settings is 1080p. This is very surprising to me because my old note 20 ultra supports 4k on the exact same simple setup (usb c to hdmi cable).All Huawei models support HDMI also.
Edit: Found out the new Samsung Galaxy all of them doesn't support this anymore
Are you sure? Very desappointing
If so, that is a little disappointing
There's a option for high resolutions on external display in multistar on goodlock
Verizon is givng me 800 for my S21U, I'm getting the S23U for 400
That's a pretty good deal for sure
Just got it last month for 400 used on eBay. A good flagship Phone for the next years.
That's a crazy crazy good deal. Enjoy it!
I got a iPhone 12 Pro and I want to make the jump to android, should I buy the s23 ultra or wait for the s24 ultra ?
That's a tough call. I've been hearing rumors that we will get the s24 sooner than normal. But it's hard to say exactly when it's coming out. You could always make the argument to wait for the next model. Right now if you buy it at a good time, especially around Black Friday, you will probably have some really good sales. Those are sales. You won't get on the s24 for months and months. So that may be one factor for you. I would either buy during a big sale or wait. The big sales are coming, Black Friday. Deals are already showing up at some places
Using iPhone 13 Pro Max, just ordered S23 ultra coming next week, I can’t wait to try it out and maybe leave the Apple Ecosystem forever.
It's really hard to leave that apple ecosystem. Don't feel bad if you decide not to. For me it's not a big deal to tell my family members to use Facebook Messenger to send pictures. But most of the time they just text me like normal and it's not a big deal. We use Facebook Messenger for video calls. So I don't need iMessage like a lot of people. But a lot of people are pretty deep in it and it's completely understandable. Just be patient with the process of transferring all your data to the new phone. And give yourself time to adjust. And if you don't like it, don't be yourself up. It's a little hard to adjust to something new and some people just can't. With all that being said, it's definitely an incredible camera with some incredible features and the phone itself is amazing too. Plus you get a lot more flexibility with Android. Hope you enjoy it
@@AndroidDigestI’m not really into the Apple Ecosystem, I just got bored by the closed system I previously owned note 20 ultra but the battery wasn’t something I could brag about. However I’ve seen a lot of reviews about the S23 ultra and how amazing it is.
iMessage and FaceTime already have good alternatives so I definitely could use them, my family and friends already use WhatsApp and Facebook messenger so it’s not really a hassle for me.
If the s23 ultra performance and battery serves me well I’m certain I’ll gift the 13 pro max to my brother and leave the apple Ecosystem for a breath of fresh air.
Thanks for the reply!
Went from Note 10+ to the Ultra 23, got it through AT&T huge discount...just a three year contract with trade in. I work for a government contract company and the pen gets used everyday. I like making my phone my phone, android is a key.
Enjoyed the video 😇
Thanks so much. I've heard a ton of people who upgraded from previous Notes. Glad you're enjoying it
1750 nits bro, not 1200... stop shortchanging my phone 😂
1200 nits (HBM), 1750 nits (peak). I just missed that second part 😂
This phone is so good that it's almost problematic I can't get off the thing.. Right now I'm at 17 hours and 52 minutes screen on time using it today, I don't even use my TVs anymore barely
You shouldn't even be awake that long 😂😂. To get 8 hours of sleep, you should only have 16 hours of use and that would include using your phone while you're in the bathroom, while you're eating, at work, you need to take a break man
@@AndroidDigest I only sleep about 4 hours a night due to my crazy work schedule . And then I go to sleep to RUclips videos, starting off my day now

2023 samsung phone with headphone jack and expandable memory?
Yeah. I wish we had a good phone with it. We don't have much of it
Best phone indeed...in terms of overall, but the only thing that they can't seem to polish since the S10 series, is the camera focusing speed. In terms point and shoot, they've still haven't caught up with ZSL algorithm that Google introduced more than 5 yrs ago with the Pixel 2. I have the 23U, a Pixel 6 and some cheap Oppo phone. More often than not, the Pixel and even a cheap chinese phone can give me better confidence in taking a perfectly focused shot on the first take, than the S23U.
I can't argue with that aspect of the camera. You're right.
I wish google would let Samsung make their phones. I love googles software.
I have a Samsung S10plus and I looking to purchase a new phone. Thank you for the review.
It's a great phone to upgrade to
@@AndroidDigest ty ty
Thank you for your very detailed and excellent presentation. You have definitely help me to make my mind up! Going to try to get one. I currently have the Google Pixel 6 Pro and this is the only Samsung phone that comes close to its very high quality specs. The battery on my Pixel 6 Pro drains very quickly now and the phone has overheated several times so I am pretty much done with Google for now. On top of that, it is all over the internet that there are several problems with the new Pixel 7 pro including overheating and green screen problems that have NOT been fixed by software updates!
Thank you for the kind words, means a ton. Sorry for the late response, but appreciate the love on the channel
I don't see you need to buy a new phone I'm still extremely happy with my Note 20 ultra
Then keep enjoying it. Next time you upgrade you will get a massive amount of operating system updates too. Whenever you upgrade you won't need to keep upgrading.
it's not comfortable when you hold it for long, because of the sharp corner
That's true. It's good to try and look for a decent case
Can someone buy me this phone please? God, have been dieing to get this phone since begining of this year
I wish I could. But I need the money more than ever myself. Good luck to you though! Hope you can get it!
Help. Have been always an android user. Hesitating between 14 pro max and the S23 ultra. Main use: social media. Have the feeling social media are perfectly optimised on iPhone 😢. Is this s23 ultra solving this ?
I can't lie. As a hardcore Android user that won't sniff anything Apple, I have heard the social media is slightly better optimized. I don't notice it much on X or Facebook. My pictures look amazing. But if you use the camera INSIDE the app for snapchat or something, I did hear that's better on iPhone. But if you are just posting photos you took outside the app, I think you won't notice any difference on social media. Hopefully this helps some.
@@AndroidDigest thank you very much for your answer, really appreciate 😊 🙏🏾
really good quality content brother, keep doing the amazing work
Thanks so much. Appreciate it!
90 percent of an ultra for 600, where, which, who.
The OnePlus 11 was like $580 recently for example. Obviously the camera won't be as good. But similar speeds. Screen quality. Faster charging speeds. It's not the ultra. No DeX. But it's still a good option. When it comes to flagship phones I think you can find a ton of phones that are 80% as good for a lot cheaper. But it comes down to if you are just wanting to save money or if you are really wanting one of the best phones. The Ultra is phenomenal
@AndroidDigest can you explain what throttling means?
Why aren’t Chinese phones/tablets readily available in the US?
You can get s23 plus instead of oneplus 11
😅
I wouldn't say 90 percent of the ultra, maybe 60 percent, that's not enough and galaxy users enjoy discounts as preorder and early purchasers, i won't disagree with you I think your under estimating what the ultra can do if you feel the experience can be matched that close by that one device lol.
gotta tidey up that messy beard my guy. get a beard comb and some oils.
😂😂 sorry man. I tidy it up once a month. Comb it clean it and condition it daily. But I let it do its thing
Is this the graphite version? Just ordered the S23 plus. Not a fan of the boxy design and curved screens.
Pixel phones are for children, not adults. Pixel ppl always ignore thr annual issues that the Pixel phone has. Camera shutting off for 4k recording overheating? Lol what a joke
I do disagree. But if your main argument is that this phone is better I'll agree. The Pixel phones tend to get warm and be a little buggier. But I just bought a Pixel 7 Pro used for like $400. It can be a good value for some people. But it's not perfect and I do agree that the S23 Ultra is better
which color has that phone?
I can only record 30 seconds of low hd on my pixel 5a before it overheats and shuts down.
Dang, sounds like a big issue! Hope you can get a new phone or get it resolved.
@@AndroidDigest I got the S23. The operating system is not as smooth as the Pixel, but at least my new phone works as described.
Is 8gb ram enough for gaming in s 23 ultra???
Yes. It's plenty for gaming. A lot of gaming pcs come with 8gb and work just fine. You will still be good
I went from the Pixel 7 Pro, to the S23 Ultra and (mostly) loving it. The battery life, and the selfie camera are the best part for me. I find that most of the photos from the primary 200mp camera are not necessarily better than the Pixel tbh. I rarely get a non-blurry photo of my dog, unlike when using the Pixel. The 3x and 10x zoom cameras are super useful, and fun to play with. The only things I miss on the Pixel is the speech to text, it’s next level compared to the version available on the Galaxy. And the “continued conversation” with the Google Assistant. That allowed for multiple questions/commands without having to say ”Hey Google” every time.
I 100% agree with you. The pictures from the pixel phone are subjective because the colors are a little more accurate than the Galaxy phone. The Galaxy phone takes better pictures of nature and it has more versatility with the zoom. But it's not necessarily better in every situation. With the things I take pictures with it's definitely a lot better. But it can vary. But the battery life and the performance is better than pixel and I like how the phone doesn't overheat like my pixel phones would. Maybe they wouldn't overheat but they would get a little toasty. So everyone is different as far as which phone they prefer in the end. I'd still argue this is probably the best phone, but not by much, and some people will just prefer a phone like a pixel and I wouldn't blame them
@AndroidDigest I completely agree that the S23 Ultra is still the overall better phone. I'm very happy that I made the switch. This coming from a former Pixel fan boy. 🤫
why? Is there a shutter lag in the camera or the shutter speed is low?
@@monstermayankI believe shutter lag has always been an issue with Samsung. They've definitely improved it a lot with the S23 Ultra, but it's still very much there. If you're mainly going to be taking pics of younger kids or pets, I honestly wouldn't recommend it over the Pixel. Otherwise it's a much better device overall.
If snap 8 gen2 was the main cause, other phone should have equivalent bat. But they don't. So let's give some SDI(SS BATTERY CORP) some credit for their break thru tech on making round battery pack feasible as for Tesla and they recently announced that they will start producing solid state battery early as next year. This means longest lasting, fastest charging, and doubling life span. 😁
Its like comparing the iPhone original to the iPhone 3gs
One got a great camera the other is just not there yet
I switched from s20 ultra which I've had for 3 years and the first thing that blew my mind was the sound omg it blew me a way and bassy this is my first stylus phone what about that there is only 8 gig memory instead of what I had on the s20 ultra will this make a difference
Oh yeah, sound and a stylus. I don't think the lower ram will make a difference at all, 8 GB is more than enough. You can still run 15 apps at the same time no issue, so I wouldn't stress. Just guessing on that number, but yeah, you will have no problems.
Note 9 was better.
Maybe for it's time. I agree in that sense
@AndroidDigest even compared to phones today. Outside of not getting new OS updates which is Samsung's choice (as opposed to a physical limitation of the phone), it does pretty much most of what the s23 ultra does for 1/3 the price if you don't need the fastest chip for intensive high demand games. Headphone jack, expandable storage, spen and speaker on the right side of the phone for right handed users, nice 1440p display. I will say that the squared off physical design of the s23 ultra is better though. 5 years old and it has a 4k mAh battery vs the 5k on the s23 ultra. 6.4 vs 6.8 inch display.
It still truly is a legit competitor (factoring in price and how most people use their phones) and a benchmark for all modern phones. It's the last great note and in my opinion the last great phone Samsung has made.
S23 ultra is 🤴 facts
Pixel 7 Pro is not better. But almost as good
Exactly. And that's where price will come into play for a lot of people
Dumb question maybe but if I get this S23, will all the same Apps on my iPhone (11 Pro Max) be ported over easily to the S23? - Also, It looks like the S23 has a much better camera And a slightly bigger screen (6.8” to 6.7”), And no big ass annoying notch to interfere with watching content. - Lastly, does this phone use USB-C charging? Thx.
Thanks for subbing by the way. Appreciate you. Sorry for the late response. Yes it uses usb-c charging. As far as apps, to my knowledge, no. You will have to reinstall. But to me it's worth going through that hassle. As far as other things, yes, you can use their transfer tools to get contacts at least and pictures from your phone. As long as you go through the android setup process and transfer through that, or through Samsung smart switch after. But either way it's a hassle. But once you do it once, you can stay on board.
