Phone Restart 6-10 times daily
on September 24, 2023
Posted by: Unhappy23ultra
S23 Utra, Phone does many things that cause websites to have errors. Videos play @ 2x speed, games quit responding. I was told to do a factory reset. I did and everything had to be re-registered or passwords set. A lot of hassle and time to get everything working again. Then it did it all again. I have to restart my S23 ultra 6 -10 times a day.

I miss the sd card, and duel sim...
Hopefully samsung brings back the features we love!
It's difficult to travel overseas without a second sim, or limited storage for all your pictures!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Camera is not as impressive as it's made out to be
on August 12, 2023
Posted by: Florigonian
from Eugene, Oregon
Expertise:Intermediate
I've had my Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra almost since when they first came out. I switched from my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. And I don't know what it is but every time I go to use my S Pen on my 23 Ultra it says that no pen is recognized so I kind of feel like I'm possibly missing out on part of what my phone has to offer. Secondly, I really am not impressed with the camera any of them on this s23 Ultra they all seem not up to par or even close to how Samsung has portrayed them to be. Most of my pictures are blurry and definitely aren't as sharp and pristine and nice as I would like them to be I can't get any of my pictures to look like what I was taking a picture of meaning when I take a picture of a rainbow the picture isn't even half as a beautiful as the real rainbow is colors aren't as vibrant definition isn't great at all or good. Really all in all I am just not impressed with this phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
