[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed when I started my new S23 Ultra was its snappy response. I had a modern smart phone before and was pleased with it, but the S23 Ultra was faster. I was pleased. But when I tried to camera, I was VERY impressed.
As a nature photographer, I often resort to long lenses to capture far-away birds and animals, and often using a snapshot camera with 50x optical zoom to capture photos of a nesting pair of bald eagles. Cellphone cameras just don't cut it, because the eagles are several hundred feet away and digital zoom just pixelates. No details can be seen. So, my go-to was the 50x optical zoom camera that I usually have with me.
I saw mama eagle sitting in her nest and tried my S23 Ultra, preparing myself for the usual disappointment. I selected the 10X setting and snapped a photo. Pretty sharp. I was impressed. But then, wanting to see even more detail, I zoomed further to where the distant eagle could clearly be seen, and snapped another photo. Wow! This was a better photo than my 50x zoom lens camera produced. I couldn't believe it.
After all day of exploring my S23 Ultra, I noticed that the battery level was at 89%. Wow! My previous phone would have been at the 50% level or lower, even though I had replaced the battery 4 months earlier. I was pleasantly surprised. Subsequent charge (wirelessly) and discharge cycles were equally impressive. I could go on, but I am limited here. VERY impressive Camera, with excellent cellphone, too.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is great for streaming, and for work functions. Te battery life is not the greatest but definitely an upgrade from the S22+ battery
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Samsung S23 Ultra. What a powerful piece of technology. Service is fast, screen is beautiful, love the S Pen and its hidden compartment. Overall a well designed and enjoyable phone to owm.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this as my everyday, personal device. The battery life is amazing. I'm usually good at keeping my device charged, but in general the battery can last me pretty much the whole day. I did get the Ultra for the camera, cause the 100x zoom sounded crazy and amazing. And it is indeed both those things. I took a picture of the moon and was completely shocked that it was a decent picture. I can't wait to play around with Expert RAW to get even better pictures.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great phone! Love the bigger screen and pen! Features are fabulous and even better camera! Samsong for life!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung galaxy phones have neve been a disappointment; and the S23 ultra is the best. Camera and photo captures are great. fast performance and the battery life is longer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My last two Note phones have been good and improved with each series but the new S23 Ultra is unbelievable. The screen, the speed, the connectivity, the battery, the security, just about every aspect of the phone is impressive. Used for both business and personal I see this model as finally a replacement for my laptop. Just wish it had an SD card slot.
