Portland. JAMAICA in the Building!!!
I've been loving this phone! I moved over from the S21 Ultra and I've seen just how much more Responsive it is to me!
Please do the ND filter video
Man I love this phone
I had the Note20 Ultra 5g thought it was the best phone ever then..... I got the S23 Ultra & now I really can say. This is the best phone I've ever had man!! What an amazing upgrade. I you can get this phone, go for it. You won't be disappointed.
I thought the Note 20 Ultra was the best phone ever and that no phone was going to beat it until this year
I upgraded from the s21u, which I thought was the best phone ever at that time, but I must say the s23u has exceeded my expectations, the battery life is great and as you stated, I'm not paranoid about the percentage of charge is left; I utilize multiple apps simultaneously majority of an 8hr day and a full charge will last the entirety of the day with about 30 percent remaining at the end of the day, i feel so confident of the battery life, that I sometimes leave the charger at home and not worry about battery life: as far as the camera goes, I love the quality of the night vision photos 👏
Oh man. I forgot about the Note 20. At first I thought you were trolling. I thought "you mean the S20 Ultra."
But no S-Pen until the S22 Ultra. 😅
@@jerryhall5759ye true
I'll wait for the s24 at this point. It's time to upgrade my s10+
I love that CJ does these realistic longer-term reviews; he's about the only YT content creator that does this for his audience. Most just do what I call the hype reviews, and then you never hear anything about the real user experience.
I love him but I would not say he's the only one. Just watch many smaller RUclipsrs
Wdym? A lot do this lol
So many youtubers that do monthly user experience on s23 ultra lol
Bo just appreciating mans work no reason to prove him wrong. Just recommend or whatever. MAN AMAZING that this guy is talking about everything you wish. Bless you!❤
Honestly i think the design is great. I know some want a flat display ultra but i think the current ultra with its size feels perfect with the ever so slight curve that you can barely feel esp with a case and temepered glass. It actually makes gestures and swipes easier for me personally. Great video as always on your channel.
I am fully satisfied with my S23 ultra. Gonna stick to it at least for 2 years. No other phone can beat it in the near future. 👍💪
glad you're enjoying it
I got mine too and I am very happy
@@CJKnowsTECHwhat about the Honor Magic V2?
Was not going to upgrade as we had several big things this year (wedding/ bought a house), but switched carriers and in doing g so got an offer of a free Flip 5 or $800 S23U. Snagged the S23U because I heard the battery life was the best Android battery life ever and I use my phone a lot. Had it 3 weeks and only twice have I ever had to stick it on the charger to make through the day with most days still having 20-30% battery left. Looking forward to what more can I do to push this device in the future
Nice! Glad the battery is supporting your heavy use
Great seven-month review, CJ! Yes, please make a part two to the pro mode with the new gear. Congratulations 🎉 again on 100,000 subs, rolling to 200,000! Stay up and be blessed!
I remember CJ had not even 1k subs. I'm so proud of him.
I literally just picked it up (again, initially returned it because I thought it'd be too big for EDC ) got a deal on the 512GB. Yes its unapologetically big, yes its over the top on every spec outside of charging speed. For productivity and media consumption its a beast and difficult to beat, specifically for the US market where we are more limited in choices.
What’s your device as of today?
@bigdrews4360 S23 Ultra and iphone 15 pro max
@@madmann6723which device holds your main sim that yiu use for texts, calls etc
I'm a heavy user. It's a beast. I left the house with 80% this morning and here I'm at watching this video still with 33% at almost 8 at night. I probably can run an hour or so playing call of duty warzone then I'll need to charge. Battery life is amazing.
Thanks for sharing this
Man just found this channel today. My dude you sure make a review look good and not boring. Good job.
FYI: The shutter lag can be changed to nearly non-existent if you tweak the settings in the camera app (camera assistant). And about the color and highlighting, i actually like it tho. Not sure what people mean when they say they dont
Man man man I love my s23 ultra and I can't wait for the s24 ultra bc I know it's going to b a beast also...
KD 6 "Floral" Great Video! And yes, please make a follow up video on the camera settings. Your other videos were awesome.
Try using the Niagara Pro launcher. So minimalistic one pager design. Looks so clean and premium. I used Nova launcher before but I like Niagara Pro way way better.
I think samsung really did get their own design for their flagship smartphone maybe the upgrade or the change we will see in S24 Ultra is the flat screen and also again the optimization in other socmed apps. And still hoping if samsung will create their own OS or bring back their Tizen OS or Fuschia OS that they’re talking about…😅
Not totally flat due to latest s24u leaks
@@grrad76 hmmm but the 2k in S24+ is dope.
Would definitely love a video showing your camera use improvements. Also, unrelated the watch face set up cost $12 for the watch 3
1 stumble caught on cam (fingerprint reader) by yourself.
Any freezes/glitches during the 7 months?
My iPhone 14 Pro froze at least 5 times this summer, heavy use, hot sun but also froze up during light use. How is low light video and photo (license plate readable clarity)? Can it record video and make a phone call at the same time? My iPhone 14 Pro can not. Why would I like this feature? Maybe nice to have in an emergency situation.
Amazing honest video. From a user of all the platforms i reslly appreciate what you do.
Respect bro Thanks
Great video as usual and grats on the 100k, 200k and beyond!
I dont use cases for my phones too since the note 20 ultra and there hadnt been a single tiny scratch on my Phones since then
there should be an music version s23U. with headphone jack. without spen.
I switched from 14 pro to s23 ultra without regrets and now i switched from that ultra to z fold 5 without regrets either cause i am not much of a camera guy anyway and i dont feel tempted on 15 pro max at all. What i could potentially switch the fold 5 for is the s24 ultra only IF : Flat screen and no bullcrap exynos in europe ofc ..
im a camera guy too and love seing and watcinh high quality vdieos and pictures .. u need to try 15 pro max.. bro
Why do you switch phones every time?
I have a iPhone 12 pro max. The recent iPhone 15 was a complete let down to me. I’m trying to determine is I should switch…… Help Me 😩😩
I have the S22 ultra I know the battery is way better and the cameras are improved. I just can't justify the move financially yet. I love my s22 ultra and I will be upgrading in Feb with the S24 Ultra
Great video and great info. Sneakers those are the KD Floral 6
Had the S23 ultra, but after watching your Z fold 5 vids, I got a Z fold 5 and love it, thank you. ❤ your content man 😂👍
Nice! Glad you like the Z Fold 5 another great device
I just wish Samsung would have kept the extendable storage....
I think everyone does, except this one guy on Facebook who called me all kinds of names for saying this😂
Rocking the s22 ultra works great..
Great Video🎈
Love my S23 Ultra and Z Fold5 Both of them are Bad Boy's 👍🥳
2 great devices
Thank you for acknowledging the shutter lag. That and the fact that Samsung phones (and really no phone best I can tell) can shoot clean and properly focused close up shots like the Pixel (unless you have a macro camera) are what's holding Samsung back. Camera app experience (at least on my s22+) is still lacking, too.
Keep bringing the fire CJ. Unfortunately, I missed the S23 Ultra. I didn't upgrade from the S22 before copping the Z Fold 5. Shout out to One UI . I didn't appreciate the minimal upgrades until u showed how Apple used this method to enhance optimization and provide a better user experience.
No idea on the sneakers. Waiting for u to bust out the Kobe 6 (Grinch), though.
KD 6’s Floral/Coral
Ayo cj why don't u make a video showing all the haters all of the features of the spen ain't nobody really done that and u know it got mad features my g
Oh! Great! Mr. Entertainer! My heartfelt ❤ Congratulations 🎉 to you for crossing the 1 Lakh mark of Subscribers, who stand by you for your ever-honest and entertaining reviews...

@@CJKnowsTECH I like to see you cross 1 Million mark so soon...God bless you and good-luck always...
I been using Nova Louncher since the Note 20 ultra. And Now with the S23 Ultra 💪🏾💪🏾
Right
I need all this information on the S23 Ultra. Had mine for one month now.
Thinking about going to samsung from the pixel 7. Wondering if I should wait for the s24 Ultra or pick this up
So did you pick up 23 ultra or waiting? I am getting mine tomorrow. I have to say I prefer slightly curved display, and 24 ultra is rumoured to have flat one. Apart from having newer chip I don’t thing there will be more noticeable differences
I REALLY need them to bring back the Note Series‼️ I'm still rock'n with my Note 20 Ultra‼️😭
Right 😂
@@CJKnowsTECH I just can't give up this 6.9" screen‼️
I have an S22 Ultra and I wish they fix the overexposure issue with the camera.
Right
nice video, I would like to see part 2 for the pro settings tutorial
Coming soon
Well you know next year with the S24 Ultra supposed a flat display. What you think about that? Me personally i still like the minimal curve on the S23 Ultra.
I’ve had to change screen protectors about 6 times since the phone released because of the curve design, dust gets under the screen protector for both tempered glass & hydro gel
And the glass ones always crack within a month from the edges
@@PedrazaArt1yea honestly still I would like to see a flat display on the S24 Ultra
Look like one of KDs early on shoes. Maybe 6?
I just upgraded from my 23+ to the ultra and I love it
Sometimes natural wear can give a device some character
Dem kicks look 🔥
There's a shutter lag Fix, you have to download the camera assistant on the galaxy store and go to your camera then settings go to camera assistant options then go to the shutter speed and select what you want
I dont know why samsung doesn't promote this though 😅
Or they should just make it native in the app…hopefully next One UI update
Just graduated from the Note 8 to a s23U 512 and stumbled on your channel, What kind of lens adaptor did you use🤔 where did you find the lamp over your left shoulder 🤔
The edge screen possibly going away in 2024 in favor of a titanium band has me holding off. Not dropping $1200 on a phone with a screen designed to scratch, crack and doesn't take normal screen protector.Pixel Pro 7 is on sale now, but the Tensor's bad efficiency and 8 coming in Oct is another hold.
bro, what’s the theme/app pack you’re using in this video ?
Watch this➡️ ruclips.net/video/ZAKc0KNVxT8/видео.html
@@CJKnowsTECH much respect bro; preciate it
If you had to pick between galaxy s23 ultra and iPhone 15 pro max ??
kd florals for the sneaks btw
Only thing I dont like about my s23 u is the battery life isnt that great (which is the whole reason I upgraded from the s22u). It's settled around 6.5 hrs sot :/
Change performance profile to light
Idk but i get 8 hours sot, just turn on light energy save mode and it will last you a hour or two more based on your usage...hope this is useful
I keep reading about connection drops , did you encounter any ?
Thank you for the video. This is the best review I've seen of this phone.
Hows the camera in terms of taking pics at low light with moving object?
I like to ask to you charge your s23 ultra to 100% or do you have it set to just charge up to 85%.
I charge up to a little pass 90%-98%ish
@CJKnowsTECH does charging to 85% really have the life of the battery
S23 has the best camera. I had ppl sittn behind me witj iphones at 2 hiphop concerts this yr askn me what phone i have cuz the pics an videos look great. I seen a iphone pic some1 showed me, i tried to pinch zoom to see the detail an it got real blurred. Horrible smh
You look great with your natural curls. I was trying to figure out why you look different - most of your vids I’ve viewed you were wearing a hat. 😂 👌🏽
Great vid. Could I get the link to the wallpaper please?
I can’t remember where I got this one I’ll search
Beast 💪💪 I have this and the Galaxy Z flip 5 I use them both
Nice combo!
@@CJKnowsTECHThanks
Looking at purchasing a new phone. I currently have the Pixel 4 XL. With the new Pixel 8 launch in just 2 days I'm undecided. You definitely have me thinking seriously about S23 Ultra. I'm going to look for your video on lenses.
Thank you for your content and thorough review.
ScottyD
Go for s23 ultra the 512gb, it came with 12gb of ram and no SD slot
KD Florals 🔥❤
I see I got sneaker heads in my audience. Respect
Those KD's nice...
Requesting camera video NUMBER 2 please!
I always end up getting the cheaper phones like the regular version, my next phone I'm going for the s24 ultra, it's gunna be a huge upgrade from the s21 regular to the s24 ultra, can't wait for the release
Should i go for iPhone 15 pro max or s23 ultra???
Currently using s20 plus
Honestly follow your gut...I will be doing a vs video between these once i get the iPhone in...
I have a s22ultra and I was gona upgrade but there isn't enough to upgrade so ima wait 4 months for the s24 ultra and upgrade then
Me as well to me honestly the s23 is the same phone i dont care about the zoom feature because samsung always sabotage the cameras with their updates
@@adriangreen9785 and they removed the 40mp front camera for a 12 mp one like.... that's a downgrade
@@tyler69 yep
@@tyler69MP count won't always tell image and video quality.
@@davidnaromal4720 pictures do though
I have the exact same feeling about this phone. It is hands down the best phone I have ever had, but it still needs work. I did a couple tests with the camera and saw NO difference in 50MP and 200MP, other than file size. Maybe there is a setting somewhere or a mode that it needs to be in, but I don't take a lot of pictures. I sat down and went through all the settings when I got it, but when it came time to use those settings, I forgot them all. Also the zoomed in pictures have a nasty AI look to them. I would actually rather them be a bit blurry zoomed in and not a blocky horror show. Low light pictures still don't match what I have seen from my wife's Iphone 13 pro max, but other picture blow the Iphone out of the water. I have a Nikon D5300 and I always compare phone cameras to that. Each new phone gets closer, but not even this thing will match it. Physics of a big fat glass lens is really hard to overcome.
You try Raw Mode for night pictures? I try and i say, its 5 time better then automatic mode..
@@dzonib9595 Totally missed my point.
coming from apple thought giving s23 ultra a try. First impressions the camera doesn't hold a candle to Apple. I do a lot of photo/video on my phone and will not be upgrading to Samsung on the next window. Sorry Samsung, Apple has you beat...badly. The rest of the phone is fine but nothing to wow me enough to not regret the switch. I miss my iPhone ...11pro. The only reason why I got the Ultra was the cost savings in comparison to the new iPhone
I just removed the number on the battery, because old phones i was always watching the damn number so when it gets 20% i get nervous. But with s23ultra, i dont have to pay attention anymore to that number, so i removed.
When is s24 ultra coming will it be a huge upgrade from s23 ultra or minor updates like s22 to s23 ultra ?.?.
For real thou, Samsung and some of these 3rd party apps needs to work something out. If i take a picture woth regular camera its waaaay about anything from 3rd party apps like Whatsapp or Instagram.
I currently have the S23 ultra and thinking about switching to the Zfold 5. In your personal opinion would that be a downgrade? I was also debating on going to IOS and getting tge iphone 15 pro max. Nit sure what to do. I do read and watch movues on my phone more than social media. TIA
If you want to switch to a fold wait atleast fold 6. I think it will get flagship cameras and the crease in the middle maybe gone and bigger battery. And with Snapdragon 8gen3 chip it maybe a beast
YOU CAN FIX SHUTTER LAG AND BRIGHTNESS IN THE SETTINGS
Yo CJ when you take the phone outside to record and take pictures of the environment and test the cameras and stuff. Do you use the phones mic to record your voice ?
Yup! (*but I do edit audio in my video editor to beef it up a bit as I am an audio engineer so keep that in mind but audio out of phone was good)
@@CJKnowsTECH Datswassup man. CJ the man with different resumes. I admire you bro respectfully
Respect bro
What are the physical differences between this and the old Note phones. Those were always my go-tos but the Ultras look identical to me.
Small things like sd card slots, MST, and a few other things
Hold up,why u using nova launcher ,u got good lock
Just my personal preference. Both are good tho
That wrist watch is amazing ! what model is it ?
The s23 ultra in white still is nice way better than Apple iPhone 15 pro max color . I hope s24 ultra adds better colors. Better camera better battery, but overall i want Sam to do something cool with messages. Like add games, add a better find my feature, satellite comms and safety. Better watch support. And just go ahead give us something like an air drop. Guys i have both phones and IDK WTF TO DO on my Samsung however i like using it more once the battery is improved its going to SUCK using iPhone. Think
I have the S21 Ultra. I am debating on upgrading to the S23 Ultra because I can get it for $150. Would you say do that or wait a few months for the S24 Ultra?
Best phone ive ever owned and used
Yo what app do you use to customize your homescreen?
Watch this➡️ ruclips.net/video/ZAKc0KNVxT8/видео.html
I love my S23Ultra! It's a fantastic phone
How About a so CARD ?
My s23 ultra i am so happy that i may stick to it for 5 yrs
Hi, CJ can you plz suggest me that I can switch over to S23 ultra from S22.
REGARDS, from India.
Really worth it if you are looking forward for a phone to use for 4 years minimum. I just got mine last month and it still feels like i took it out of the box today. Sure s24 or iphone 15 will give it a good fight, but istg we have reached a point where literally everything is provided to you on the silver platter, you just have to take care of it.
Always dropping great content. Samsung Knights in the building!!
Those the KD 6's?!
This is still a beast, as I battle between my S23 Ultra and my iPhone 14 Pro. I have experienced some battery draining issues, occasionally but other than that, staying with these 2 phones. Congrats again on the 100K .
The only reason I got the s23u was because my s22u battery life was abysmal.. 4.5 hrs sot. And first my s23u got great batter but now it's settled at 6.5hrs sot. Pretty dissapointing
@nathancasey7712 I hope with some updates, it improves. Or Samsung is just trying to get us to buy the S24 Ultra, which is not happening.
@@CoachD77 Idk people say they get amazing battery life with the s23u. I must be unlucky af
@@nathancasey7712It's definitely better for me. And it's also why I switched. I get about 7.5 hours SOT. But it's been as low as 6 or so some days.
CJ very nice video yes phone is beautiful I have sky blue at home no case but at work I have to use uag plasma ice case for drop protection due to my Job yes this phone will definitely be phone of the year spec sheet I do not see iPhone 15 beating S23ultra samsung has optical zoom up to 10x which is awesome I've taken lot of pictures and video when I went to Florida there awesome... I still use Nova launcher cause I use custom icon packs and Nova is just brilliant but your video is great I've only has mine since may looks might be same but under the hood makes a world of difference ✌️
Yeah Nova Launcher is the best
Congratulations on 100k subs
Thank you I appreciate you
@@CJKnowsTECH respect 🤝
Is it difficult or easy to disassemble, the S23 Ultra❓Example, if I wanted to see the snap dragon 2 battery.
Does the processor have a battery?
I'm holding for s24 ultra hopefully a new design plus sd card or auxiliary support. Only then will I give up this 10+ Sweet Jeesus!😅
😭😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂stop
Dope!!
Your my go to reviewer your so funny and dope brother
People in the uk don’t like Samsung every person you see has an iPhone. That’s the most popular smartphone here
Good to know
I only upgrade my phone every 3 years. Currently on the S22 Ultra. I'm gonna try my hardest to wait on thy 25 Ultra.
Wallpaper?
You don’t have a screen protector? I usually don’t but I have one on but I have a film one on and I want to take it off lol.
nah no screen protectors😂
If only the App Store was more controlled the apps are flakey as some look ok but most are a mess
