    The s23 ultra is a surprise even if i knew in derail what to expect. Yes is fast, blazing. Csmeras even better thsn expected but you really need to invest some time finetuning at first. I would love easier preset user saved settings with one easy switch. The phone is the best i have had. And i come from fold 4 which I loved. Why? The screen size, brightness and response. Just perfect. It's the one screen I still find almost as versatile than fold 4 or 5, and more compatible with some use cases. You see.. fold 4 narrow screen is not that good and open is too big. The overall s23 ultra feels there where no compromises and feel a complete priduct without mayor wishes. Liked your price abd options. As good as in samsung itself.

    I love this phone! High speed and high storage! It is the most advanced phone I've ever had. The stylus is extra cool with a button that allows you to take high resolution photos of yourself from a distance if there is no one to take it for you. I charge the battery each night and never have issues with the battery. Also, for me, it is the perfect size for playing games, working, or watching hd videos anywhere while still being a somewhat compact phone compared to others. The included apps are also pleasantly reliable. I have apps i never even knew i needed. I have no complaints.

    Haven't used a Samsung phone since the Galaxy S4. This is the one to get if you are looking for a great device from Samsung. It has everything from capturing great photos to awesome battery life.

    One of the best Flagships with a few hiccups

    Samsung outdoes their product every year, and 2023 was no exception to this rule. The S23 Ultra brings the best camera, screen and Android UI experience to users through a great Flagship device. The UI, as always, is smooth and provides the closest stock Android experience while still adding or enhancing features to make it be more user friendly and make sense. The camera is second to none in my opinion, even though OnePlus comes very close. My 4 star rating is actually only due to the physical size. Although most love having this massive screen space, I would prefer the bezels be reduced and height be there in order for my one handed typing to reach both sides of the screen equally. I don't have small hands, and I struggle to reach the edge of the screen and sometimes (even with the use of Samsung's UI swipe downs for one handed mode) struggle to reach items toward the top (or middle) of the screen. The last item I would not is that I found, compared to my S23 +, I struggled greatly with using (or successfully unlocking) the in screen fingerprint reader. My S23+ seems to be seamless every time, yet for some reason, the Ultra struggled almost every time I would use the reader. Not sure if this is a UI issue perhaps a larger display concern, but it was drastically less functional. All in all, the phone is great for the users with extremely large hands or those who are always using their phone in a two handed mode.

    Recently left Apple for this. Phenomenal battery. Diverse set of camera capabilities. Spen included is nice for quick sign and send documents. This is the most complete slab phone I've used.

    Love this phone, bought it to upgrade from a edge+ UW and it has been the best phone i have ever had. Great feel, great specs, great camera..... I mean you take pictures of the moon and it dont do that over saturation of the light and it balances light and dark colors great. When it comes to games, you can play anything on the playstore you want and emulators are even better than before. Get one if you are looking for a good phone, youll love it too.
