    The S23 Ultra is completely reliable and a great daily driver. Battery & charging is excellent, performance is mind-blowing and it has the most amazing camera resolution. I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations. First and foremost, the camera quality is absolutely stunning. With Night Mode, I can capture breathtaking photos even in low-light conditions. The Galaxy S23 never fails to deliver epic content.

    Was an Apple user for 7 years and wanted to try Samsung again. To my suprise, I was very haoppy with the decision. This phone is very fast and been very reliable. Awesome screen and very bright. Phone and texts have been superb. The SPen is what sets this phone apart, the things you can do with is a long and fun list. Dont think I'll be going back to Apple for some time. Highly Recommended.

    The phone has worked great for me, no issues whatsoever. I have enjoyed the large screen and being free from Apple products. However, if you are coming from using a smaller phone and want something that you can travel with in a pocket easy then this big ole brick is not for you!

    Samsungs best even better than last year. They fixed a lot of what was wrong with the s22 series with the s23 ultra! Cameras are stellar. I could do without the curved screen because my palm accidentally touches the sides but it's not a big deal. I prefer flat panels. The 120hz display is amazing with punchy colors, true deep blacks, and a peak brightness outdoors that's unmatched. The closest thing to this would be the new iphone 14 pro series but you would be overpaying or paying the same but for way less features...I mean let's be honest, if iMessage wasn't a thing here in the US would you really get an iphone? I've never heard someone say "oooh I really love safari! Need an iphone!" But that's for another review. Ha! Battery life is the most insane out of any device I've ever used and I'm a serial device upgrader. Every year I get what's new. 2 full days for me but your use might vary. If you love android or are android curious, get the s23 Ultra and don't look back. If you're coming from guyphone it'll take a few minutes getting used to the OS because there is so much but once you do you'll love having something that's not the same as everyone else!

    This mobile is a top-notch Android phone that boasts impressive features like a 200MP camera, a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, an awesome display, excellent battery life and smart One UI 5.1 upgrades. While it's expensive and has a curved screen that can sometimes get in the way, the S23 Ultra is a solid choice for those seeking a premium smartphone experience.

    Well I love the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, 256 GB and this phone helps me a tone with the capability of it being able to multi task with multiple apps and in a fast and efficiently and smoothy with its oled 120 hz screen and its sleek solid design. When im in class this one helps me in a big part with its s - pen and being able to write notes and it helps me so much.

    This is the best android phone on the market. The screen is incredible and the phone is powerful, fast and very smooth. Wireless power share allows convenient charging of other devices and the s pen is very handy. Be aware that the s23 ultra is huge and not exactly the most comfortable phone to hold because of the squared off design. Battery life is good but not great. If you're wanting a great android phone look no further.

    One of the best Samsung phones I've used in awhile. Battery: great. I almost get 2 days Display: beautiful 9/10 Camera: is pretty good at point and shoot. I use the 4k recording for making videos for family trips never fails. I thought the phone would eventually get hot but the new processor def made a difference from gen 1 Overall: I really love this phone. I have this and a 14 pro and I find myself using this more which surprised me.

    I just switched over from a Google Pixel 7 Pro. While I loved the Pixel 7, there was a noticeable upgrade in smoothness, functionality, picture quality, and battery life with the Samsung 23 Ultra. Ive always been a fan of the Samsung Note, and I am extremely happy to gain back the pen function. While the Pixel 7 was a great phone with great functionality, UI, and smart features; the Samsung 23 Ultra is a better phone overall.

    Feels like Home.

    After taking a break from Samsung and going iPhone 14 Pro Max for 8 months, I'm finally back to what feels like home on a phone. Yes they're both amazing phones, but software makes a massive difference going from 'livable' to 'wonderful'. Here's what I love on the S23 Ultra: -Camera is better at photo taking both close up and at range (over s22 ultra and i14 max) -Photo Gallery has a CAMERA FOLDER. No swiping through silly pictures when showing someone a photo I took. -T9 Dialing. Used this for years. iPhone doesn't pay the copyright. -Excellent customization, Samsung has the best throughout the device. Icons, skins, lock screen, there's not a whole lot you can't sculpt to your liking. Samsung has GoodLock you can download to fully customize. -There's more but a lot of it is just Android over iOS. Build quality is solid, you're holding a giant slab of glass with a tiny hole punch camera. The curved display is finally very minute, so it doesn't feel like it's in the way. Still prefer flat displays though. Battery life is same as in the iPhone, finally. I end the day with around 60% on phone handsets. Stylus is useful, sometimes... Audio isn't any downgrade from iPhone. The iPhone is a great phone and has a nice always-on display, but I felt restricted and forced to change how I use the phone, rather than changing the phone to suit my taste. I'll miss texting from my MacBook and auto-connecting AirPods, but that's it. Everything else just feels in place. Likely sticking with Samsung for the next few years again!

    This phone has been working so well since I got it. My friends all want to use it for pics because of the quality. it's the right size to watch stuff on. The battery life is pretty good. I last all day, sometimes more than a day depending on how much I use it. Great buy!

    My wife has had 0 issue with the ultra as her new phone. It runs fast, she is used to the bigger scree now, the games and movies run well on it, and overall it's just a great phone. Definitely worth the purchase on the Black Friday sale. Camera is also quite good for zooming in, have a sharp picture.

    Ideal phone for me I just bought it about a week ago. The quickness with which everything was transferred from old to new astounded me. The S23 is fantastic! The camera is amazing, it is lightning fast, and it has so many fantastic functions. Im glad I went with this phone because it's very easy to use.
