Amazing phone. So i upgraded from a Galaxy S21 Ultra. I wanted to wait a full 3 years before upgrading. I immediately noticed the speed difference and i really like the new UI experience vs the s21. The cameras seem to be about the same as we have come to expect. But the new stabilization with AI smart shot is a treat to use. I filmed a walk through of a house and it looked like i hired a pro with a gimbal. Im not joking! The battery lasts me 2 and a half days of normal use. If i watch a bunch of content that goes down to a full day. I use the wireless charging feature everywhere i go. I do not regret making this purchase. Especially at the price of $899 they were offering over last xmas.

The display quality of the smartphone is outstanding. The colors are vibrant, and the resolution is sharp, providing an immersive viewing experience for multimedia content and gaming. The larger screen size strikes a perfect balance between usability and portability.
The smartphone's performance has been impressive for most tasks. Navigating through apps, multitasking, and running demanding games have been smooth and responsive. The user interface is intuitive and easy to use, making it suitable for users of all ages.
I appreciate the camera capabilities of the smartphone. The quality of photos and videos is excellent, especially in well-lit conditions. The various camera features and modes allow for creative photography, and the front-facing camera captures clear and detailed selfies.
The battery life of the smartphone has been satisfactory. It can easily last a full day with moderate to heavy usage, and the fast charging feature has been very convenient for quick top-ups.

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.

Not much to be said. Its fast, looks and feels good in the hand. Having the stylus is a must. Its a constant feature that keeps me going back to the brand. No more lost notes on scraps of paper, plus all the other embedded functions it can do. Camera is more than adequate. As a photographer, i have real cameras to do the heavy lifting, this works fine for daily use and fun photos. In a pinch, i might even use it for something a bit more serious.

Useability - This phone is very fast, and my biggest gripe was how slow face-unlock was, but they actually FIXED it in an update! It's now very quick to unlock and easier to use (unbelievable that an update actually provided functionality)
Camera - At family functions, everybody asks me to use my phone for the camera since it looks so nice. Lots of features like being able to use the stylus to trigger the camera allows me to get in some really precious group shots. The wide front selfie camera also looks great if the group is small enough. It really is idiot-proof shooting, you don't have to mess with the settings much to get a gorgeous high definition picture.
Battery - I get to the end of a high-use day with about 40% battery left. On normal days, I might have 50-70% battery left. Battery life is excellent.
I don't replace my phone every year, and my last Samsung (an S8+) lasted me for 6 years with gentle loving care. I'm hoping to get the same lifespan from this phone.

It was a open box excellent and, it was. It's like a new one with an better price. Easy to find and to buy it with Best Buy. The camera is awsome, with great photos and videos, and the screen is something amazing, high resolution and big. It feels really premium with all the materials it's made. And the speed is all I wanted

Pros: Faster, in my opinion then IPhone 14. Photos are excellent. WiFi and 5G speeds are extremely fast. S Pen works flawlessly. Cons: Face recognition is poor. Works about 10% of the time. This was an issue with prior Galaxy phone that hasn't been fixed. Fingerprint recognition is highly reliable. Overall excellent phone.

In love with samsung. This device right here is everything. Battery quality has improved, the AI functionalities, I am able to upgrade, the touch screen is flawless and the screen is durable, I havent still put a screen protector and it has fallen countless times and it still looks very new. The most important thing is the camera. No other brand can match this, hands down. Lol, I bet you will be fighting with your keyboard to respond to this review.

A very nice phone. Very customizable, you can spend a while switching every little thing such as the navigation bar, theme, icons, quick panel etc. with the help of the GoodLock app. It is a incredibly responsive phone, starting up any app and managing other tasks is no problem. (120hz + developer mode animation reduction makes it feel even better.) Battery is very strong and can last you a day of heavy use no problem. There are options for battery saving that help you prolong the battery much longer. If you have the 45w charger you can charge it in 40 mins more or less. Camera looks really nice and the zoom lets you take pictures of things from a pretty far distance. Overall I have had a satisfying experience the past 5 months and would recommend. However there was a situation where the phone had a black screen and glitched out. There was no way to access the software. Even with shutting off the phone with power off screen didnt work. The only way was hold the bottom volume button and the power/bixby button to force a restart. Other than that weird occurence big thumbs up!

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.

Bought as a Christmas gift for husband in 2023. He LOVES this phone. Mind you he upgraded from S9+. The camera quality is *chef's kiss*. Every where we go it's his camera we use. Purchased using Best buy refinancing and payments when this was on sale. Best purchase!

I love my Galaxy S23 Ultra! I use it daily for staying connected with video calls and taking detailed notes for meetings. The S pen makes it super convenient to take notes without having to unlock the phone. Just take out the pen and start writing on the screen as if it were a pad and pen. The cameras are excellent in low light situations and can easily zoom in on stage to capture the best of any performance! I highly recommend this phone to anyone that wants to get more things done with one device.
