I want to recommend a few things before you read this review. Instead of focusing on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra's pricey price tag, consider the value it offers. Instead of being intimidated by its incredible power or long feature list, take a look at what it cannot accomplish. In comparison to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, don't consider it "more of the same" because you'll miss the features that extend its useful life.
Although there are a number of "don'ts" there, that's why I've highlighted them. It's because the Galaxy S23 Ultra will most likely be able to do practically all of your needs for the foreseeable future—that is, for a few years after it launches today. Knowing this means that the only things that will matter are the things it cannot accomplish, and trust me when I say that this is a very small list. Come along as we dive deep into our comprehensive analysis of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
About our evaluation of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
Based on several weeks of consistent use since the phone's debut, our review of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is complete. During that time, we tested three distinct models. Andy Boxall initially utilized a review model that Samsung provided in the UK. This model was then returned and swapped out for a retail edition that was bought from Samsung's online store. Joe Maring uses the other in the United States. The phone comes in three unlocked variants.
In late November 2023, I, Andy Boxall, gave the Galaxy S23 Ultra another look and updated our evaluation to reflect our findings. We also added a new section below that discusses the device's current functionality. It still has the same rating and is advised to be purchased. Additionally, we continue to use the S23 Ultra frequently.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra after nine months
When I first saw the Galaxy S23 Ultra in November 2023, I was amazed at how little it seemed to have aged. I would believe you if you told me it came out yesterday, and I would give it the same enthusiastic review I gave it back in February. Helpful elements include the quick update to Android 14 and One UI 6, the S Pen's continued uniqueness in the market, and the entertaining and clever 10x optical zoom.
We've demonstrated over the previous few months how, in the correct hands, the camera can produce amazing shots and how much better it iit's so adaptable and strong in most situations.s than a $450 phone like the Samsung Galaxy A54. Going back to it revealed that, even in comparison to the most recent Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, it has retained all of its photographic charm. Although the camera isn't flawless, you'll quickly overlook any errors it makes because
Early in 2024, Samsung will release the Galaxy S24 Ultra in favor of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. This inescapable shift may cause you to pause and consider whether the S23 Ultra is worth it now. If you don't care about owning the newest model, there's no reason to discount the S23 Ultra, but if you can wait, it's probably worth it. Overall, it's great, and you won't regret purchasing it now.
Galaxy S23 Ultra from Samsung: design
I spent the first few days getting used to the differences between the Galaxy S23 Ultra and the OnePlus 11. The S23 Ultra isn't quite as "holdable" as the OnePlus 11, which is tiny, light, and strong. You will definitely notice how much of a handful the S23 Ultra is if you are coming from a phone that isn't quite 9 mm thick, 78 mm wide, and 233 grams in weight.
The closest equivalents to the S23 Ultra's size are the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the iPhone 14 Pro Max, so while it's not impossible to use, it does require some getting used to.
The S23 Ultra's size and weight will grow on you, but if you have small hands, the width and thickness will make using it one-handed quite challenging and much more difficult to overcome. With phones such as the OnePlus 11, iPhone 15 Pro, or even the Galaxy S23 Plus, it's a consideration that is largely superfluous. whether this is going to be your first large smartphone, try holding one before you buy it to see whether it will work with your daily routine. The considerably smaller and more portable Galaxy S23 will be a better fit for those who may never be able to get used to the size of the S23 Ultra.
