Q: Can a micro SD card be used in this phone and can this phone receive FM radio?
A: No, I returned my new phones because they did not accept a micro SD card. Instead they want you to use a cloud with limited space so that later you have to pay for more cloud usage. Samsung just lost my loyalty.
Q: If I buy it unlocked do I just put my SIM card from my other phone into the Samsung?
A: I got mine unlocked and had to call my provider to switch my phone line to the new phone. I tried just putting the SIM card in, but it’s not as easy. They have to change in their system that you’re using a new phone. It’s easy as calling and getting the new phone activated. Hope this helps.

S23 ultra review
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is a phone that aims to be the ultimate device for power users, photographers, and stylus fans. It has a stunning 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a variable refresh rate that can go as low as 1Hz to save battery or as high as 120Hz for smooth scrolling and gaming. The screen also supports the S Pen, which is sold separately or bundled with some cases, and offers a great way to take notes, draw, or control the phone with gestures. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip made for Galaxy, which is a custom version of Qualcomm's flagship processor that delivers impressive performance and graphics. The phone also has up to 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage, making it a powerhouse for multitasking and media consumption. But the main attraction of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is its camera system, which features a whopping 200MP main sensor that can capture incredible detail and dynamic range. The phone also has two 10MP telephoto lenses that offer 3x and 10x optical zoom, respectively, and a 12MP ultra-wide lens that can shoot macro shots as well. The front-facing camera is also upgraded to 12MP and can record 4K video at 60fps. The Galaxy S23 Ultra's cameras are capable of shooting stunning photos and videos in various modes and scenarios, such as portrait, night, pro, super slow-mo, director's view, and more. The phone also supports 8K video recording at 24fps or 30fps, and can extract high-resolution stills from the footage. The camera app is easy to use and offers a lot of options and features to enhance your creativity. The Galaxy S23 Ultra has a massive 5,000mAh battery that can easily last a full day of heavy use, and supports fast wired and wireless charging, as well as reverse wireless charging to power up other devices. The phone also has stereo speakers, an in-display fingerprint scanner, NFC, IP68 water and dust resistance, and Samsung DeX support. The phone runs Android 13 with One UI 5.1 on top, which is one of the best Android skins out there. It offers a lot of customization options, useful features, and a sleek interface. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is not a perfect phone, however. It is very expensive, starting at $1,199.99⁵⁶⁷⁹ for the base model with 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM. It is also very big and heavy, which might make it uncomfortable to hold or carry for some people. The curved screen can also cause accidental touches or reflections at the edges. And while the phone supports fast charging, it does not improve on the charging speed of its predecessor⁶. Overall, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is an amazing phone that offers everything you could want from a flagship device in 2023. It has a gorgeous display, powerful performance, excellent cameras, long battery life, and S Pen support. It is definitely overkill for most people, but if you are looking for the best of the best on Android, you won't be disappointed with the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
