    I love this phone so much. I had the S8 before this. I also really liked that phone. But between the two it is like night and day. The picture quality is off the charts. The in app options for editing photos is very convenient. Gaming graphics is amazing. Very smooth and enjoyable gaming experience. Streaming movies and shows is quite wonderful. The steaming is very clear and the size of the screen is perfect. It took a bit of time to get use to the larger phone size but I love the screen size. Doing projects and writing emails are very easy to do. The Pen makes it fun even. Overall, yes I would recommend this phone to anyone who loves gaming, entertainment, or needs it for work related things.

    The best cellphone ever. I say it's not just a cellphone but a complete and poweful hand computer with huge capacity and the best camera to take the best pictures with an incredible zoom! And you can make videos to 8k. And I can take pictures under water! This is the best!

    The Samsung S23 Ultra is an outstanding smartphone. By utilizing a stylus, I have been able to replace my Surface Pro for work-related note taking. Additionally, I am impressed with the vibrant display that remains easily visible even in direct sunlight. Game play is smooth and without significant lag, making it ideal for casual use. Furthermore, streaming is seamless and without any noticeable delays. The only downside is the absence of a micro SD card slot for additional expansion. This is the sole reason for deducting one star, as it contrasts with my initial preference for an Android device. Overall, the S23 stands out as one of the top smartphones in the market, and I am highly satisfied with its performance and functionality.

    Great Phone, Awkward Camera

    Negatives: - Samsung needs to re-tune their camera settings for a slightly faster shutter speed. I'm comparing it to an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and the Samsung defaults to a slightly slower shutter speed and a slightly lower ISO. The lower ISO results in technically cleaner (less noisy) images, BUT with the downside being there is more motion blur because of the slower shutter speed. And personally, I'd rather have a little noise and no blur. - The curved screen makes it almost impossible to find a good glass screen protector. Most of the screen protectors are the ugly film ones that I haven't touched in like ten years because they look and feel bad. Positives: - Everything else. It's super fast, the screen quality is great, the S-Pen isn't super useful but it's kinda fun to mess around with. The fingerprint reader is also very fast, and if we were still wearing masks I'd prefer it over FaceID. But since we're no longer wearing masks, I still think FaceID is better. The camera is very good, it's just a shame about the shutter speed. The 100x zoom is kind of a gimmick because the quality isn't great, but it's still useful sometimes. My favorite is the food photography mode, which makes the background blurry and boosts the saturation a bit. You can edit photos to look like this on the iPhone too, but it's nice to not have to edit at all.

    I am a ios guy but I bought it for my brother-in-law and I really love it for its exclusive quality. This phone has a very good quality camera like other phones nowadays. But I think no other phone has this type of high-resolution zoom.

    Bought this since the screen in my Z-Fold 3 gave out after almost 2 years. While I miss the bigger screen, the size on size is still great. Performance is as expected from Samsung's higher end phones.
