Hi there Grant,
Thanks for taking the opportunity to review your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. We appreciate your honesty as we strive to provide the very best products with superior functionality on the market to our customers while we remain committed to constant innovation. Our goal is for our customers to feel like they are having the most unforgettable experiences while using our products. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, linked below. If you are experiencing connectivity issues with your Android Auto, there are a few troubleshooting steps that you can take to help resolve what you may be experiencing. First, restart your phone and factory reset your vehicle's infotainment system: Sometimes, restarting your phone and resetting your car's infotainment system can help to resolve your connectivity issues. Second, check your Bluetooth settings: Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and re-pair your phone with your car's infotainment system. Third, check for Android Auto app updates: Check for any available updates to the Android Auto app and install them, if necessary. Fourth, clear app data and cache: Try clearing the app data and cache for the Android Auto app. This can help to resolve any app-related issues that may be causing the connectivity problems. Lastly, check for software updates: Make sure that your phone is running the latest version of software available. If there are any available updates, install them and see if that helps to resolve what you may be experiencing with your connectivity. If the above steps do not resolve what you have been experiencing, you may need to contact the manufacturer of your vehicle, take it to a dealership, or service center to have it inspected. Of course, we are here to assist you in any way that we can! Feel free to reach out to Samsung Support if you have any questions or if you would like any further assistance. Thank you for being a loyal Samsung customer.

Exceptional phone but a bit flimsy and android is
on February 24, 2023
Posted by: cutevegan
from CA
Love the phone. Hardware are exceptional but a bit flimsy andd not sturdy like an iPhone. Software is 5/10 while Apple's software is ~8/10. Anddroid is a bit laggy and not smooth like iOS. It is also not secured like iOS and stable like iOS. iOS has cuter icons as well
Also, I don't like the CPU much. Not into dragon. Maybe replace it with Paradise than Snapdragon?

Amazing Phone

Posted by: Anonymous
from Brooklyn NY USA
Expertise:Expert
I moved up from the s22 ultra. The s23 ultra is a big step above the s22. I moved up because of storage and mostly because of the camera. The pictures on the s23 ultra are stunning. The speed of the device is so fast. The whole experience was well worth the trade. Love the Phone

Tech Reviews 4 this phone are impressive
on March 2, 2023
Posted by: KW the Barber
from Los Angeles
Expertise:Intermediate
I watched several tech reviews for this phone, and most are impressive because battery performance is very good, better than iPhone 14. Lots more features than an iPhone means more 4 ur money. The one thing that bothered me was, not the phone but the clear case from Samsung is a very tight fit, don't use it, because it's so hard to get off.
I would recommend this to a friend!
