In April, I made the monumental switch from iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and let me say this upfront: I haven't regretted it for a moment. This phone, along with its seamless integration with my new Galaxy Watch, has made for a transformative and satisfying experience. The Galaxy S23 Ultra has exceeded my expectations, and I can't help but sing its praises. One of the standout features of this phone is its ability to effortlessly connect with the Galaxy Watch, providing a holistic and interconnected ecosystem that's truly impressive. Right from the start, everything connected successfully, and I was ready to enjoy a unified and efficient experience across my devices. What's most astonishing, though, is the absence of any issues. I haven't encountered a single hiccup with this phone, and I'm crossing my fingers not to jinx it. From performance to battery life, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has consistently delivered. The processing power is unparalleled, handling even the most demanding tasks with grace. The camera quality, especially in low-light conditions, is outstanding, allowing me to capture memorable moments with unparalleled clarity. The display on this phone is nothing short of breathtaking. The vibrant colors, sharp resolution, and the silky-smooth refresh rate make every interaction a visual delight. Whether I'm streaming content, browsing the web, or simply scrolling through social media, the S23 Ultra's display elevates the experience. Moreover, the phone's design is both elegant and functional. Its premium build exudes a sense of sophistication, while the ergonomic design ensures comfortable handling even during extended use.

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.

Samsung hits another quality phone that always prefoms as a flagship phone. I use this phone all day and still have at least 60% battery when i get ready to put it on charge again. Great looking screen and camera. Its a slight bit heavier than some phones would be the only thing I would mention but not a stopping point.

A big upgrade from my S8+

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.

Finally made the switch from Apple to Samsung and I couldn't be happier with my choice in brand and device. The phone opperates really smoothly, and the switch from Apple to Android wasnt nearly as daunting as I had initially expected. I have had the device for some time now and have been deeply impressed with the battery life as well as how convenient it is to accomplish anything with just my phone. The physical appearance alone was a sell to me as well, considering how classy and sleak the device is. Having the pen readily available to take short notes or write down phone numbers has made my life so much easier. I was nervous about the camera quality of Samsung devices but I've been taking beautiful pictures and have been able to use the very convenient dark mode picture taking capabilities to capture my memories, even in less than conventional lighting. Overall the quality, convenience, and design of the phone has continued to impress me as I get to explore new features and appreciate the ease of its daily usage.

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

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.

This is an excellent phone. It's fast and responsive. The camera is unbelievable. I use the camera extensively for work and the detail on the photos is amazing. The pen/notes feature is also a fantastic feature that gets a lot of use. The battery life is among the best I've ever had. I have no complaints. Would buy again and am looking forward to getting the S25 Ultra.

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.

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!

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.

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.
