After over 5 years with iPhones, I took a chance on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - and it has impressed me beyond my expectations.
The gorgeous 6.8-inch display is incredibly smooth and vibrant, with brightness levels that make outdoor use a breeze.
Powered by the latest Snapdragon processor, the S23 Ultra breezes through intense tasks without sweat. Battery life reliably lasts over a full day, too.
But where the S23 Ultra shines is with its versatile, professional-grade camera system. The upgraded 200MP sensor captures photos with stunning detail and clarity. Combined with the 10x optical zoom, this is the best smartphone camera setup I’ve ever used - day or night.
Samsung’s OneUI software has also come a long way and feels customizable. Ecosystem integration with my other Samsung devices was seamless as well.
So, if you are considering leaving Apple, have no hesitations about switching to the S23 Ultra. With exceptional power, an incredible screen, and a camera that keeps impressing me, the S23 Ultra competes favorably with any iPhone and immediately made me feel right at home.

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.

Where to start?? Dex? Moon shots? Very versatile camera? Speed? Battery life that is pretty close to unmatched? This device checks these boxes very well. Only thing people need to know is to download the Camera apps in the samsung store to get the full potential of the camera and everything it offers! You will not be disappointed.

The Samsung S23 Ultra is so sleek and user friendly. The phantom black color on it makes it look so sharp. The cameras on it are amazing. You can take stunning photos with sharp and clear images. I personally think this is one of my favorite phones and will hang on to this one for a while.

Wow is all I can say. Being a camera guy I bought this mainly for it's camera abilities. I had no idea what this thing could do in total darkness let alone during the daytime. Everything about this phone is amazing so far. Check out the photo I attached handheld taken in total darkness. Night is now day in the camera world.
The battery will last for a couple of days with normal use and the screen is amazing. My only complaint is Google attacks you with everything when you set it up. It's even put stuff on my car monitor I don't want and I have not figured out how to get rid of it yet.

Beautiful large screen with fun features including the stylus and camera. I upgrated from my Samsung S10 so it is a great improvement! Takes great night time photos as well. The battery life isn't as long as I hoped for but putting battery saver mode on really helped.

I have tried to hold on to my old phone for a while and have no idea how bad it has gotten. I like that the samsung s23 ultra is bigger, and has an excellent picture quality. The camera is simply amazing! The quality of the pictures is unbelievable and zoom is better than my Canon camera! The phone is super fast and has great sound too.

I can confidently say that it is an incredible smartphone with some truly amazing features. One of the standout features of the S23 is its camera. With a 108MP primary sensor and 10x optical zoom, it allows for great photos and videos. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 895 processor provides lightning-fast performance, and I've never experienced any lag or delays while multitasking between apps. The 12GB of RAM ensures that even when I have several apps open at once, the phone still runs smoothly.
