LOVE the S23 Ultra - great decision to purchase

I just received this Galaxy S23 Ultra after having a S21 Ultra for a couple of years. WOW...what a difference. I LOVE this phone. Transfer of data was seamless, screen is super clear/bright even after putting a screen protector on phone. Fingerprint unlock is still just as bad as last phone but that is not an issue. I traded mainly because my camera on the old phone kept putting streaks on my photos. The new phone camera specs are 10 x better so that should improve.
Got this 2 weeks ago after I shattered my s21 regular. This is for sure an upgrade. I was worried about it being too big but I got used to it in a day. I am a student I use my S pen daily. The camera is the best in industry and I cant wait to use that feature more. I have been a samsung user since the galaxy s3 and this is the best so far!
So far this phone been the best ! Thought ppl were going to far with the "best phone" thing. But I decided to try it anyways. Been a really great phone !! Beautiful pictures, extremely fast & battery is excellent. One thing I'm frustrated about is finding a glass screen protector that truly works with it I have bought so many and it is hard to touch the screen without it lagging. Like of course no one wants to crack an expensive phone. Besides that I have no issues and I've seen ppl have said it is heavy but to me it isn't. Maybe being use to iPhone but yeah the phone isn't all that heavy. Bought beautiful cases for it already hopefully to get a good screen protector soon! Definitely worth buying :) Also I use to be a Samsung fan since s3 until I got the iPhone XR :)
I got this phone and did not notice right away that there is a scratch on the screen. I can not be left without a phone so that's why I have not sent it back. The phone functions as to be expected but seems like Samung is cutting corners on their glass if the screen comes already scratched.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've had the device a week and I'M IN LOVE with it. The smoothness is insane, the camera... there are no words on that part, it's dang near perfect. This phone has been everything to me thus far!
This phone has brought me only grief. I really think it is in the process of shutting down altogether. I am unable to send or receive text messages or emails. The only part still working is the phone itself. I am unable to download apps which my bank is requiring me to do. Google play store won't permit me to update any of my apps. The bank app is critical. The games a person can get along without. I need the bank app.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.
