DAY IN THE LIFE with Samsung S23 Ultra - 4 Months Later! (Camera & Battery Test)

you guys are so sweet 🥹 thanks for all the lovely messages 💗

congrats miss ella

Congratulations 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥺❤️‍🩹

Really good battery life on the s23 as expected, the battery life would differ depending on the situations you use it in, but I think if anyone wants their phone to last all day the s23 will do it easily with light usage. Congrats on graduation aswell, i just graduated from high school too,its amazing.

Congratulations on graduating. One thing which I also learnt by accident is that you don't need to select everything manually in object eraser. You can just touch the pole or rope and it automatically detects the object to be removed and it is pretty accurate too.

Always use 3X for portrait shots. It actually makes a huge difference 😭

[@LilGrimey5Star]

Why do you say that? Do you think they come out worse when in 1x? I still have my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and I've always felt like 1x is horrible quality and I have to be at 2x minimum for it to look clear, what's your experience on your galaxy?

[@beastinfection638]

@@LilGrimey5Star The S23 Ultra and the Note 20 Ultra are worlds apart in terms of camera quality. Actually, I would say that they're worlds apart in all aspects. The S23 Ultra is a MUCH better phone.

[@Armando.Krijnen]

@@LilGrimey5Star I upgraded from the Note 20 Ultra to the S23 Ultra, I am so in love with the S23 Ultra :) The S23 Ultra excels the Note 20 Ultra imo in every single aspect. (I was using the Exynos 990 chipset...)

Congrats on graduating! Your videos have a very specific aesthetic and vibe that I don't get from other tech creators. I appreciate the work you put into them and the information I get as well. 😊

[@familiatrois3813]

I am really amazed at the battery performance of my S23 Ultra. I can easily go 2+ days with light use and have yet to suffer any "charging anxiety", even on heavy-use days! Congratulations on your college graduation! Best of luck on your new chapter in your life. Looking forward to your reviews from your new home in the Sunshine State!

[@mac8669]

It's still not a worthy upgrade from an S22 ultra though, it's just extra battery & performance, the cameras are near identical

[@klodinkediloni762]

Congrats on graduating 👍 i have had my S23 ultra for 4 days now and have been impressed with it. The object eraser tool is such a handy feature and saves so much time. Still have more to learn about the phone.

[@sbilalx]

Congragulations on graduating Ella! Great review covering the s23 ultra. You're one of my favourite tech youtubers because of these customization and day in the life kind of reviews. This truly is an end on an era. Good luck for the new journey!

[@CreatedbyEllaYT]

thank you!

[@jimsnow6430]

Great review. The S23 Ultra is a very impressive phone. The camera is awesome with a wide array of capability. Keep up the good work!

[@dogboatzero9978]

About the always on display, I think the picture on yours is what is impacting the battery the most. Previously I used to have a gif playing on my aod all the time and that drained like 7-11% of my battery daily. I changed it to have just the clock and now it drains less than 3 percent. (S20FE)

[@sow_scout4989]

A little late but congratulations!! Heres my usage if anyone is interested. i charge my S23U at night until 85-90% before bed, so I basically start my day with an average of 88% battery. I also use my cellphone a lot for work too and I still have roughly 30-40% after work. I also use Samsung Dex alot with a USB keyboard and mouse. I try to kill my battery by using Dex for the rest of the day. Overall I can say, the battery is one of my favorite thing about the S23U

[@LeendaLove]

Reading the video description gave me goosebumps. I've been here since the days of you filming in your room. I'm so happy for you and your continuing journey!

[@BrockMak]

I went the opposite direction in a way. I've finally switched to S23 Ultra after buying it for 6 months because the weather has been so bad. I replaced the battery on my S10+ twice. The original one died and the replacement had a really terrible drain on light usage and on power saving mode. In just one week of light use, I went from 85 to 55 in medium usage on a work day, which is just catching up on KZbin on 1080p, 2k resolution, adaptive brightness and dark mode. The desktop computers at work are forced light mode on some of them, but I can't use my phone to complement my computer.

[@morm2173]

Yep I upgraded from s10 plus to s23 ultra as well and massive improvements I just miss micro sd card

[@BrockMak]

@@morm2173 SD Card AND headphone jack for me, definitely

[@morm2173]

@Brock yea bro it's like it's not broken don't tamper with it , however the objective is financial greed to upsell the 1 tb option and the cloud storage payment plan

[@jellyfish_01]

9H of screen on time is insane if we consider that the AOD was on, qhd and 120hz wow its impresive that it died on 23rd hour! so far the best battery i've seen! the s23 ultra would last prob about 2 days if it was on fhd 60hz and aod on tap to show

[@PhantomOnline]

I'd recommend setting up a bixby routine that turns off the AOD at a specific time, and then back on. So lets say when you're going to sleep, the AOD can go off, and then set it up to turn back on before you wake up.

[@morm2173]

The best phone ive ever used however my only gripe with my s23 ultra is the lack of micro SD card otherwise the screen , performance , camera , and battery are phenomenal and capabilities limitless

[@TheSmokeWatcher]

Wow no SD???

[@morm2173]

@@TheSmokeWatcher no micro sd card

[@shrikarthikxd7237]

you can actually set the AOD to switch on when you are awake according to your sleep schedule...saves so much battery😁

[@johantiefenbach5310]

Congratulations on graduating! You go! 🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@irfexs]

Actually i'am a samsung user since like 2012 and like only 3 months ago i was having a Samsung s8+ and my always on display was set on always show and it was turning off automatically when phone is flipped on its face or if it is in pocket or in dark environment And i was shocked when i changed from s8+ to s22ultra and that thing was not in it its really disappointing to not having that automatically turn off in dark feature Btw congrats on graduation and moving to los angles

[@prinzzandy]

Wow! Total usage of 23hours of battery life is amazing enough. Can't wait to get my S23 Ultra this week! BTW congrats on completing your study!

[@emmanuelamofo62]

Congratulations 👏 on your graduation 🎓. We give thanks to all who helped or played a part in making this happen!

[@mihaipredescu]

CONGRATS FOR YOUR GRADUATION, ELLA! 😘😘😘I have almost the same settings on my S23 Ultra, but i always close all background apps and deepsleep apps, this way i minimize impact on battery. Yes I use AOD always. This phone is projected with so many background android processes and own processes that take up memoryand battery for the ease of use later...is like the phone is always expecting its master to use it at highest peak...always being "prepaired" for "war" processes scenarios! And i bet a little culprit being the overclocked CPU "Made for Samsung", with speed and also the NPU unit for speedy cache apps.

[@jimmylim888]

Congratulations on your graduation. My son is starting 3rd year at Rotman and he watches your videos all the time. All the best.

[@Isaax]

This was the case 10 years ago and even more so than back then, it's in the hands of the user to take care of battery life. Turning off all sorts of features you know will be running in the background in some way (I'm including the AOD in this) is simply key to preserving max battery life. I like to be liberal with the features I will notice (high brightness, high performance mode, always 120 Hz on, etc) while making sure to manually disable whatever I can that would otherwise run in the background. Don't need cellular data right now? Turn it off. Going to bed? Plane mode. Background processes off for anything that doesn't explicitly need it or benefit from it. Uninstall/deactivate all junk, and so on, and so forth. Makes a much bigger difference than just turning on the energy saver feature, at least nowadays. It's just the reality of it. Doesn't much mutter if you've got a beastyl 5000 mAh in your phone, which back then would've been unheard of. The likes of the Galaxy S5 had just barely over half of that!

[@dreadlockscayman]

You can schedule the always on display to turn on and off at a certain time everyday and never have to touch it again.

[@_Mario_PL_]

I used to use AOD on my Samsung phones, they used to turn off when placed in pocket. Samsung removed that few years back, I think S9+ was the last one that had that. Such a shame.

[@_Mario_PL_]

Also, when you put the phone face down it would turn the AOD off as well.
