The editors didn't like
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
Incredibly powerful processor, Versatile telephoto zoom camera, S Pen adds value, Water-resistant and durable, Long software update commitment, Many interesting features to explore, Large, bright, detailed screen
Wired charging is complicated, and only 45W, Big and heavy

Pros, Impeccable camera quality in almost all conditions, Fantastic performance and all-day battery life, Gorgeous display with lots of room for S-Pen note-taking
Cons, Charging speeds could be faster, Visually identical to last year's model, Top-tier specs command a top-tier price
The Galaxy S23 Ultra's remit hasn't changed: it's still the very best of Samsung in a (non-folding) phone, with astonishing cameras and a productivity focus few rivals can hope to match, courtesy of the built-in stylus. As such, it commands a high price...
Fast and responsive, Looks great, Excellent screen
Too large, Very expensive, Is the S Pen that useful
Samsung's 2023 flagship is a roaring powerhouse of a phone, radiating premium construction from every facet of its rectangular frame. The specs are unbeatable, the screen a beautiful thing, the S Pen stylus a great accessory, and the cameras remarkable wh...

very big 120Hz screen, brilliantly capable camera with 3x and 10x optical zoom, good software with five years support, faster fingerprint scanner, S Pen stylus, top performance, very long battery life, contains recycled materials
huge, heavy, extremely expensive, S Pen may be superfluous feature for many
If ever there was a phone worthy of the “ultra” moniker, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is it.The phone is unrivalled in size, power, capability and battery life on Android, while its camera is more capable than any other on the market. It is very much over...
(Image credit: Samsung)The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is another case of the iterative phone cycle we have found ourselves in within the past year. Not much has changed from last year's model apart from the camera and processor, and while both are good addi...
Great design, screen and performance,Integrated S Pen stylus differentiator,Advanced camera system is highly versatile,
Mostly the same as S22 Ultra predecessor, Colours are rather dull, It's really not cheap,
There's two ways to look at the Galaxy S23 Ultra as an upgrade over the S22 Ultra it's marginal, almost like a half-mast 'S' edition rather than full-blown next-level upgrade; but as a standalone device it's an exceptional, refined and accomplished piece...
Huge performance boost, Monstrous battery life, Stunning, colour accurate display
Expensive, Price increase this year, Few changes elsewhere
There's clearly a lot to talk about when it comes to the S23 Ultra's cameras, but I've been most impressed this year with its substantial processing and efficiency improvements. I'm not often taken surprised by generational benchmark upgrades but this upd...
Abstract: The Galaxy S23 Ultra offers up a familiar face that, at a glance, looks identical to its predecessor. The changes are there though, they're just not as big as those you'll find on the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus. (You can read our hands-on Samsung Galaxy S23...
Great design, screen and performance,Integrated S Pen stylus differentiator,
Mostly the same as S22 Ultra, You might not want the S Pen,
Not yet ratedI think there's two ways to look at the Galaxy S23 Ultra. As an upgrade over the S22 Ultra it's marginal, almost like a half-mast 'S' edition rather than full-blown next-level upgrade. But as a standalone device it's an exceptional, refined a...
