[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I traded up from a Samsung S21 Ultra and found this to be an upgrade in many ways. The one thing I especially love is the Built-in pointer pin that is very useful for many applications.

Fast and powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really been loving my new S23 Ultra. I have been a Note user and this was the perfect way to replace my Note while keeping all of my favorite features. I do everything from my Device from gaming to banking to social media, but camera is what really drove my purchase.
I have already blown friends and family away with the camera of the S23 Ultra. I show them how to take pictures using the S-Pen and stun them with pictures of the moon taken with 100X space zoom. Object eraser is super easy to use and so handy. Additionally I have really had fun with multiple exposure shots in the Expert Raw app.
This device has it all. I use it all day and never run out of battery, even using the adaptive display. I have had multiple Note and S and Z series devices, and the S23 Ultra is, hands down, the king of them all.

Bought it for the camera but love the phone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being a camera enthusiast that mainly shoots with a DSLR, I was waiting for the S23 Ultra before upgrading my phone. There are times when I don't have a camera but wanted the ability to get high quality images, especially withe the Expert Raw camera, that I could use on my website and share with others.
I also was moving from a Note phone and was excited to see that the Ultra offered the S-Pen. It really comes in handy for notes and also some on screen photo editing.
The battery life is awesome! I recently switched the display from FHD+ to WQHD+ and that may impact battery drain but so far I haven't seen much more.
The one thing I'm still trying to figure out is how to bring up the S-Pen writing "window" that would pop up on my Note for some apps. I had it a couple times but haven't figured out the secret sauce to turn it on when I want it.

AWESOME PHONE
on March 15, 2023
Posted by: IWANTMYSAMSUNG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is awesome. I use it for work every day. The screen is beyond bright and beautiful. The camera, at 200 mp, is beyond my 2 35mm cameras.....so long cameras.....It takes excellent pictures, and the camera functions are next to none....The somewhat bigger screen compared to my old A20 Note threw me off a bit at first, but now I can't imagine being without it. It's not bulky and is a perfect hand size. Having more memory (I got the 256GB) model is more than enough memory and I am trying to figure out what to fill it with.....LOL. Anyway, great job on this phone. I have been this excited about a phone for a long time.

S23 Ultra - Depends on your previous phone
on March 15, 2023
Posted by: HawaiianCowboy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I watch movies/videos, listen to music, read books, games, etc. Coming from a Note 9, this is a big improvement. My battery last about a day where as my Note 9 would last about half a day. Using USB C cables, takes about 1 HR to charge at 50% battery level. Phone doesn't get as hot. S23 Ultra is a lot bigger and barely fits in my front pocket, definitely sticks out in my cargo pockets and back pocket.
The display brightness is average. In bright sunlight, still have problems seeing the screen. However, I'm used to having my screen at about 60% brightness.
The best thing about this phone is the camera. If you have a recent phone, I would hold off to see the S24. Normal pictures are great, but the colors are off. Have to use software to adjust color balance. The zoom feature is awesome. I have done 100% zoom and didn't notice much blurriness. There is a significant lag at 100% zoom to where I got motion sickness from trying to center the image.
Sound is ok. Like previous Samsung phones, volume is low even with sound limit disabled. In the gym, I have it almost at 80-90% just to hear music over gym noise with ANC BT buds. At home, some videos are hard to hear even at 100% to where I have to put the phone up to my ear.
Other than the camera, the rest of the phone features are ok. Nothing mind blowing. If my work supported Note 9, I would have held off on buying the S23 Ultra. I do miss the SD expansion card and wish they threw in the Samsung Buds when buying the phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been in the hospital for the past three months.I use this phone to stream movies and to make and receive calls. I shop and use it to purchase merchandise and to check specs on goods and services before I purchase. I do all my banking as well. Great phone, easy to use with many features. This phone is of outstanding quality. This is my fifth samsung smart phone and the best yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always had a Samsung Galaxy phone and love them. This is my first time going all out and getting the top of the line. The S23 Ultra is definitely top of the line! The camera is amazing! No regrets getting the best of the best!
