Cons
The phone is so big
It may be unwieldy for some
Camera can be a little slow
Pen hasn't changed much
And this is more a spec bump update
No charger inbox and only up to 27W charging from third-party chargers
Base model 8/256GB – this is supposed to be a premium phone
An 8-bit/16.7m colour screen is inappropriate for a premium flagship
No mountable external SSD for videographers and vlog
Design is attractive but could be a little more distinct than the older S22 Ultra
Google Pixel 7 Pro is cheaper while offering a competitive feature set
No major advances apparent with 100x zoom in terms of clarity vs the S22 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy S23 Ultra review. The sample unit is kindly provided by Trading Shenzhen. Samsung has certainly kept their words and delivered on the promise they made at this year's Unpacked event to give the Galaxy S23 Ultra better l...
Abstract: Strangely enough, if it weren't for the camera, I would have given the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5 out of 5 stars. I say this is ironic because Samsung spent the entirety of the unveiling presentation in January talking about how good the camera is. And it is. The...

I can make this very simple. If you have a Galaxy S22 Ultra, you can skip the Galaxy S23 Ultra. If you have any other device, I recommend this phone. Even to my fellow Pixel fans, this is a really good phone that offers a ton of stuff. If you can't live w...
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is an undeniable upgrade over last year's model, and truly delivers on every aspect of a premium Android phone. However, the astronomical $1,200 starting price makes it incredibly unapproachable, whether you're looking to upgr...
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Software And User ExperienceThe Galaxy S23 Ultra runs Android 13 with Samsung's One UI 5.1 skin. Although we much prefer Google and Moto's simple, lightweight, and close-to-stock Android user experience, it's clear that One UI off...

Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is the new luxury-level flagship phone in the company's Galaxy line revealed at Wednesday's Unpacked event. Starting at $1,200 (1,249, AU$1,949), one of its biggest improvements is a new 200-megapixel main camera -- nearly do...
Traditional Note form factor, improved handling, still premium as ever, S Pen has wide-ranging functionality for work and play, is virtually without competition, Wonderful display, Excellent battery life, faster charging than big-name competitors, Ultra-g
Nothing is, in principle, really new or different, Pricing
The ultimate Galaxy smartphone for 2023 (that doesn't bend in the middle) doesn't bring anything ground-breakingly new and exciting - how's that for a single con?Indeed, the Galaxy S23 Ultra's one flaw is perhaps entirely not its own - the S22 Ultra was j...
Lovely display, Excellent cameras, Solid performance & battery life, S Pen is still unmatched,
Suffice it to say that if you're a Galaxy S22 Ultra user, you won't find the new model exciting. Barring the fresh SoC and the camera upgrades (which are reasonably significant but don't justify upgrading), the latest flagship doesn't boast a lot of new c...
The 200MP camera is actually really good, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is impressive, Best display on a smartphone, so far, The curved display isn't very curved, Best battery life on a Galaxy flagship in quite some time, The One UI 5.1 upgrade is amazing, Feels gre
Fairly expensive, with a MSRP of $1,199, Charging is still fairly slow compared to the competition, 100x Zoom is still not really all that useful
To be honest, I'm not a big Samsung fan. I'm more of a Pixel person than a Galaxy. But the Galaxy S23 Ultra has me wondering if should replace my Pixel 7 Pro? The Galaxy S23 Ultra does almost everything right. The only issue I have with it, is the size. I...
