[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I love the phone. The camera looks and works great, video quality is great. I don't utilize all of the features, but it works great for me.
The one small flaw is the ability of the S-pen to randomly pop out. It hasn't popped out all the way yet but there are many times I will see it sticking out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this phone as a gift from my brother and, at first, I was a bit sceptical about all the hype he gave me on its camera features. I am an avid nature photographer and usually I just lug around a camera bag with a hefty assortment if lenses...heavy and difficult to carry around, specially when outdoors, so I decided to leave the bag behind and give it a shot , taking only the phone with me for a week...boy, I really got the surprise of a lifetime!!! The phone's camera funtions are very intuitive to use, excellent focusing capabilities both in zoom and macro shots, the color saturarion is amazing, and it's even sensitive enough for low light level photography without getting a lot of grainy noise on the shot. Thus is a real improvement on all the previous Samsung models which, for the most part, were good at daytime and well illuminated interior shots but awful at low light level or nightime photography. After a full week of use, and a few hundred shots in, the photographs produced by the phone were quite comparable to the ones produced with my camera rig, and excelled by far at low light and nighttime photography, making it unnecesary to go thru my usual post shot processing of the images. All in all, this is thr best gift I have ever received!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I game and I'm able to use my controller with a lot smoother response and reaction time, game doesn't lag, screen is Amazing nd vibrant. It's almost like me playing a system. The camera is crazy good. I've never even seen an actual camera put out this resolution nd the fact we can film a music video with the phone itself is beyond me. Highly recommend for the creative mind.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It still has all the same features we love. Beautiful pictures, Really the camera is awsome. Great battery power! I got the S23 ultra, because I like having the pen with the phone. I also got the New lime green color, which does look a little more yellow. I was a little disappointed when I pulled out the pen & it didn't match the phone color like my green Note 20.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The good: This device is smooth, sleek, and light. The camera is amazing, specifically portrait mode, and you can get dslr quality shots with some tweaking. The speakers are loud and you can have your own little jam session. And there are so many apps. So many. The battery life is still good, but because of multitasking (a feature I adore) it's a lot easier to burn through the battery than you might think. Phone call + YouTube + Twitter will get you down in about 6 hours but it's worth it!
The bad: So the last iteration of this device was faster, had a better fingerprint reader, and had the built in biometrics. This device removed the biometrics and for some reason I get a lot more app crashes/hangs. Also there are so many updates and you can never ignore them. They install mid call sometimes!
