I never had heating issues using my S23 Ultra. My 14 Pro Max on the other hand, heats a lot, drops frame rate, lowers brightness, and later lags when playing highly intensive games.
One month on, NO HEATING ISSUES whatsoever! Travelled a few days, 5G Data, DUAL SIM!! Gave me just as good if not better battery than when on Wifi.. Was very surprised! S23 Ultra all the way!!
Listen has it shut off on you or done anything weird when hot? If not then not a big deal at all. Just remenber a warm phone can feel hot and not actually be as hot as you think. 40c is pretty toasty feeling in the hand and even that isnt bad.
What tf had they done with the frame this year. My S23U has scratches, especially on corners, and I always use it with case on. It fell from like 20-25 cm on table and already - there is a huge scratch. Insane...
@@aka1721 I wish I didn't take off that plastic. It would help with scratches but not with bigger damage. I just can't believe how soft this frame is. Drop this without a case, even if it falls on the corner of the device - display or back glass will crash 100%.
I had the same problem with my 11 pro max. Lots of scratches on the aluminum bezels from the case i used. Kind of a downer knowing this is likely an issue on my 23u as well. Also, the camera is doing my head in. I just want to tap on it and either get it to focus or get the proper hdr for the sky. Nomatter what settings i put it in, i can't seem to get that right. I guess I'm a spoiled iphone user.
Omg preachh, the Razr 40 & 40 Ultra feels like it already owned this year. The Z Flip 5 launch is right around the corner and based on the leaked pics, other than worldwide sales & support, what advantage would it have over the Razr? Moto isn't officially on sale here & I'm willing to buy an imported version to have it.
🙏🙏🙏 i know right! They really put everything into that device and what a way to do it. I am excited for these new devices and we'll see what I end up getting based on the trade in values!
A protip about the scuffed sides that'll blow your mind: It's a sticker. I had the same issue and was super disappointed that it was scuffed in a case. Even though I thought I was very careful in analyzing it, my better half realized that it's covered by a sticker and that it is in fact the sticker that is scratched and not the actual bezel. Knowing this, I'm now very pleased and have left the sticker on.
Omg just smelled my spen and youre right it does smell ...I never had a thought of doing it before your video ...now I can't smell out of my head ...fffffuuuucccckkk thanks lol....Great video
I have seen heating issues in some reviews and comments. I suspect like with all chips there is a percentage that is subpar. Some unlucky people end up with one of these. The Exynos in the S22 line had a far higher ratio of crap chips, maybe 30%+. I suspect that the S23 is a much lower percentage.
That's an interesting note - my unit was purchased directly from Samsung's site but i do see both sides on the heating issue so there does seem to be some quality control tick.
Battery % on Samsung represents the natural discharge curve of li-ion batteries. In Iphone its manipulated too much staying that long at 100% and dropping faster after that.
Ive had the opposite experience as mentioned in video - i do believe there is a discharge curve that isn't linear but I also think Apple manipulates the reporting to provide a much smoother battery drain that is more predictable than samsung - historically.
@@ChilledFossilofficial You're right, it'd be the perfect solution if it wasn't for the 100% being effectively like you start from 107% and but the indicator says 100% all the time. Also the middle part last less than 90-95%. It's still somewhat more user friendly, but anyhow S23 improved on the discharge curve compared with S22. S22 used to drop as a rock below 7-8%.
The bezel problem is your own, NOT the S23U. I've had mine for six months and I just checked as you were speaking of it, and there isn't a scratch on this phone anywhere. And I have a garden center business, so my hands and pockets often get very dirty or dirt in them. NOT A SCRATCH anywhere! So there's either something wrong with your case, or your phone. But it's not a S23U issue. Lastly, in my opinion, no offense to those who like them, but for me folding phones are idiotic. I see NO REASON to have one. If I want a tablet to work on, I can use my Surface Pro. The S23 Ultra is plenty big enough for all of my phone needs, without getting stupid. Nuff said...
Yes, when I have around 35% battery, I "can't count on the battery".. I agree... sorry for the bad English, I'm from viking land Denmark and I don't speak English like ever.
That smell is because of capacitor and I have zero issues with it. Also my dog didnt seem to mind. I am usually not putting it in my nose or ears and using it externally as it is intended to.
Have mine for 6 months, as well. No screen protector (cause YOLO), went to the beach, went to clubs, have not been careful with it AT ALL, but the scratches are minimal, you can only see SOME if you shine a light on a certain way and specifically look at it yet still barely visible.
You might have something wrong with your phone because mine's actually gotten cooler over time which doesn't make sense it barely even gets warm and I play a lot of games everything is gotten even better than when I first got it no issues love this phone
I am hearing 2 sides about the heating - one is SURE there is no heating issues and the other is having the same issues as myself when on data and using apps like maps/youtube simultaneously
I just bought s23 ultra 2-3 days ago but the cameras are working poorly on social media apps like snapchat. Even my budget pixel 4a from 2-3 years works better on social media apps. Is it just me or is anyone facing similar issues?
Try to check for any software updates. If you have update. Another thing is the HEVC function in videos, some apps don't support high resolution in this way, try to disable it. Brazilian greetings.
There are a few otterbox cases on amazon but they get REALLY bulky and it's already a pretty bulky phone as is - I opt for the casetify cases i linked in my description - those ones give 360 protection but definitely still keep the device looking attractive w/o adding too much bulk to it.

Maybe the plastic is still on? Mine has scratches on the plastics on the side

My s23 ultra makes a rattling sound when I use eirphone please make a video on it . Please give me a solution
The camera on the back has a lens component that is not fixed so it does rattle and that is the case with all phones with the lens and it is normal!
great video thsk can you tell me plz what is the widget in yellow that you use in your home screen ?
Its an image slider
@@ChilledFossilofficial IS there Amy tutorial to how to make it

The z-fold 5 and z flip 5 are way better. In all areas

If you're referring to the VERY thin plastic sticker that was on it when it arrived.... yeh I removed it when I was unboxing 😭
hey, are you trading in for a flip 5 or fold 5 today?
I’m making a video about that as i type 😅😅😅
I had this phone since launch and never smelt the S-Pen once. WTF
Omg just smelled my spen and youre right it does smell ...I never had a thought of doing it before your video ...now I can't smell out of my head ...fffffuuuucccckkk thanks lol....Great video
I hate one thing about this video....made me sniff my S Pen. Yup, it's got that funky old electronics scent
LooooL
Honestly the battery on my s23 ultra is pretty insane I can't kill this phone within the day it literally you have to charge it every other day
My S pen smells too 👍
Welcome to the club 😄
Samedt 🤣
It's smell of copper, as mostly the spen is made of copper inside!..
You should wash your hands after using the toilet!
Your heating issues seem to be unique to you dude.
Never had a heating issue and been an owner since day one. Even after heavy recording video outside. This phone is a beast.

No heating issue here too. Have it since day 1
This guy doesn't like Samsung.
the spen smell is because it has copper in it. nothing wrong with it
Yup ...

No complain's in any aspect
batry display performance
& all round performnce
It's one time investment
For years to go so grab it.

You are right about the sPen smell i just smelt mine and i can smell it; kinda of battery smell
😅😅
It's smell of copper....as the pen is mostly made of that! Inside
Yeah mine too smells like some chemical 😢
You should wash your hands after using the toilet!
I like your reviews bro 👍... you talk about things others don't mention...but it's relevant.
When we touch pen n put it back sweat bacteria remains there and creates bad odours 😅
Now I’m asking all my friends can I smell their s-pin🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you make a vlog with it?
Not a bad idea I might do it before trading in.
The frame on the s23 scratches easily.I have been using it from the last 4 months with a case and still there are some small scratches on the frame.
Yes, when I have around 35% battery, I "can't count on the battery".. I agree... sorry for the bad English, I'm from viking land Denmark and I don't speak English like ever.
🙏🙏🙏 really appreciate it!! It's amazing to have reached Viking land!!
which should i buy flip 5 or s23 ultra ?? i do care about camera for social media but also like the idea of a flipping phone btw i use iphone12 pro
Me rn... I'm all over the zf5 - although it's no question that the s23U is the better phone. Hope that helps 😅😅
@@ChilledFossilofficial thanks mate apricated it
And my battery doesn't drain at all it a excellent battery
I wish i could have a phone with 0 battery drain provided there is a battery in it.
@@ChilledFossilofficial which chipset your ultra have? a Exynos chipset or snapdragon gen 2?
When phone is on idile why charge draining
Apps can still be running in the background.
That smell is because of capacitor and I have zero issues with it. Also my dog didnt seem to mind. I am usually not putting it in my nose or ears and using it externally as it is intended to.
To me it sounds like the processor cause my phone does that when switching to data. Allot also to do because I'm out in the sun with it.
The Spen on my device also smells like electronic equipment with a short circuit. I thought it was my problem
Is the screen easily scratched?
Nope!! I kept a case on because of how soft the aluminum bezels are and the camera bumps - but the screen is solid.
Have mine for 6 months, as well. No screen protector (cause YOLO), went to the beach, went to clubs, have not been careful with it AT ALL, but the scratches are minimal, you can only see SOME if you shine a light on a certain way and specifically look at it yet still barely visible.

@@ChilledFossilofficial like I said it could be a defect did it happen before the update cuz that might be something
Nope no update yet i always give it a few days.
I just bought s23 ultra 2-3 days ago but the cameras are working poorly on social media apps like snapchat. Even my budget pixel 4a from 2-3 years works better on social media apps. Is it just me or is anyone facing similar issues?
Nah apps will not use everything the camera has to offer, you need to use the camera app and then upload onto sm.
Try to check for any software updates. If you have update. Another thing is the HEVC function in videos, some apps don't support high resolution in this way, try to disable it. Brazilian greetings.
Just you...
What is the best and strongest rugged case for the s23 ultra ?
There are a few otterbox cases on amazon but they get REALLY bulky and it's already a pretty bulky phone as is - I opt for the casetify cases i linked in my description - those ones give 360 protection but definitely still keep the device looking attractive w/o adding too much bulk to it.

how about the CaseBorne V Designed Case ?
Haven't tried it personally*
@@ChilledFossilofficial Thank You , have a nice day 🙂 .
