Screen is not always as responsive as it should be. I have to tap multiple times to get the display bar to show up or to pause/start a show. I do not have a sreen protector on. The fingerprint scanner is useless. I have not gotten it to consistently work. My google password manager does not work on my apps. I have disable samsung pass multiple times and there is no option for me to turn on google. The camera is nice but I still regret my purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love my S 21 ultra but I cracked my screen and instead of having it fixed I decided to upgrade to the S 23 ultra and I am glad I did. I love my phone. It does everything I like and more.
I have had phones from the very beginning, and up to the 13pro max, I had nothing but problem with my last two iPhone, I once had a note 2 and loved it but anew iPhone came out and wanted to try it so I did. As the iPhone keep progressing there getting crappies and crappies, so I decided to go back to an android and went with the Samsung 23ultra and I LOVE IT!!!!!!! YOU COULDN'T PAY ME TO GO BACK TO AN IPHONE!!!! so glad I went with the 23 ultra😁
I upgraded from OnePlus 9Pro. I was deliberating between. S23ultra and IPhone 14proMax. Clearly, I wanted the best of its kind on the market. Since I am familiar with android, I chose to purchase S23Ultra. This phone delivered big time. Everything is amazing about this phone: design, display, BATTERY, and ofc new system. I am over the moon with the purchase. I wish there was better screen protectors available for this device. I will be using this phone for years to come.
Not happy with the phone. Problem 1 is I live in Florida and carry the phone in my pocket and the moisture detection sensor keeps telling me moisture detected and will not allow me to charge the phone. Had to buy a case that covered the charging port and now people have a hard time hearing me talk on the phone. Problem 2 is sending pictures in text messages they take forever to go through if they go through at all. Problem 3 even though I have a pass code to open my phone carrying the phone in my pocket the phone will open on its own and start dialing numbers. 4th is if someone is calling you while moving it will only ring once and stop ringing

Hey Sk261, Thank you for finding the unobstructed time out of your bustling day to share your sentiments with us about your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Your feedback is invaluable to us 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 memorable experiences while using our products. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, linked below. Whether you're using a phone, tablet, smart watch, or earbuds, all Galaxy devices have a set temperature range, where they operate at their best. While they may feel warm under certain conditions, like charging, this does not affect the device's lifespan or performance. However, if your devices get too warm, it could cause some issues. "Keep your Galaxy device at its normal operating temperature" is a great guide that may help you keep your device at its optimal operating temperature. Samsung devices will not charge if moisture is present in the charging port when it is plugged in. This is a preventative measure added to avoid corrosion, and you will still be able to charge with a wireless charger on supported devices. A popup message will display in the event a charger is plugged in while moisture is present in the charging port. "Moisture in water-resistant Samsung phone or tablet's charging port" is another article that will help you troubleshoot your device so be sure to check that out when you can. If you are having trouble sending or receiving text messages, or they seem slow, it is usually an issue with the carrier or its service. Other times, iMessage may still be enabled if you just switched from an iPhone, which could make texts get stuck in limbo. "Messages on Samsung phone are slow, do not send, or cannot be received" will help you troubleshoot what might be occurring with your text messages. I have linked it below for your convenience. A software update can enhance the functionality, add new features and increase the security on your Galaxy phone or tablet. For the best experience it is highly recommended to keep your devices updated. If a software update doesn't install or isn't available, we can help. Please make sure that the software on your device has been updated with the most current version of software. I have also included that link below for you. If you would like additional assistance after reviewing the provided resources, please do not hesitate to reach out to Samsung Support at your earliest convenience. Thank you for being a trustworthy Samsung customer. - Debra
I've gotten SIM card errors so many times it's kind of annoying. Even after exchanging the phone AND SIM card swap. I don't know what to do anymore. Only reason 1 star got knocked off.
