    This phone is amazing, its like a computer in my pocket lol. It does everything but my favorite is its camera! It takes professional photos both in day and night! Plus the pen it comes with helps make art on my phone possible and signing documents etc.. Oh and cant forget the option to use the pen to snap a photo without needing to touch your phone so great for group pics etc... it's well worth it!!

    Super Phone S23 Ultra

    The Galaxy S23's Ultra's best feature; It's the 6.1-inch AMOLED display, which is brighter than ever before and much improved over my current Note. Graphics are where the phone really shines, using Snapdragon technology. The battery life is much improved as well, in fact, I have found that I do not have to charge the phone often, have gone 10 hours with heavy use until I have had to charge, really like this. The photos are outstanding and again much improved over older Samsungs that I have had. Easy to control the camera and see what I am shooting, even in direct sunlight. Fast performance, solid cameras, and has a spacious and bright screen. The only downside I have experienced is the time to recharge the phone an area that needs to be upgraded in my view, overall a great phone to have! While this is not the cheapest phone, it's surely one of the best on the market and I am glad I made the move !! I can highly recommend this phone

    Superior Upgrade

    The S23 Ultra is surely a massive upgrade from my Note 10 Plus. I pruchased the Note 10 Plus here in January 2020 at Best Buy, and got a blue color that was exclusive here at Best Buy. After 3 years, the screen cracked after drops and drops over the years, so it was time for me to change phones. This phone functions so well and the camera is phenomenal. The feautres here are pretty awesome too, and I definitely recommend this phone to someone who needs an upgrade or exhange. The pen here is a fun feature and pretty useful if you're signing something online. The screen is beautiful and is super bright in direct sunlight. The battery is a beast too, it lasts all day and even if you don't charge it, it will have so.e power left. And even charging it is super fast as well. I will stick with this phone for good, thank you Best Buy for this phone and for your excellent service as well.

    Excellent phone!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a great phone. It takes great pictures and the battery lasts in a full charge about 3 days (with an approximate 15-18 hours SOT). As recommended by Samsung, I charge the phone every other day from 25% to a battery protection limit of 85%. To fully charge the phone (2% to 100%) it takes an average of 90 minutes.

    Ive been a Samsung carrier for a while and wouldn't change to another brand of phone. Camera is good, functions are great. Love that i can take pictures with the pen. It is a big phone the screen is good for watching videos. Taking pictures is good and zooming all the way they still come out good. My down side is the fact that can't expand the memory but they do offer a lot of memory depending on what you need. Battery so far lasts long unless you used a lot then it last less. It is an improvement fromy old galaxy 21 ultra.

    So many great and wonderful things I can say about this phone but that would take me forever, so I’ll give the condensed version. Here goes….. I’m a huge picture person because they make for great memories. The camera is immaculate. The use is great which means I don’t have to press unnecessary keys on my keyboard by accident. The sound quality is awesome. The phone itself runs very smoothly. One of the best phones I’ve ever had.

    Got the s23 ultra finally after getting rid of my old s10. I have always loved samsung and was ready to upgrade. I still havent learned all the cool features, yet. This by far is the best phone i have ever had. I absolutely love it. I have a feeling i will keep it for a long time. Feels good in my hand and i love the large screen on the ultra. The camera is amazing as well. The battery last way longer than my old phone. Well done (again), samsung!
