Galaxy S23 Ultra in 2024... Is it Worth it?

[@lkuaaaa]

half the price of an s24 ultra with basically every single feature.. its 10x better value than the s24 ultra itself

[@randomlock99]

How is 1/2 price 10x the value? Unable to comprehend the math

[@Beriririi]

​@@randomlock99Value as in how good it is in relation to cost

[@rashanegordon477]

​@@randomlock99 i just bought it for half the price. Over a year later.

[@MrJonas7]

But it has a much worse PWM flicker than S24 Ultra, It's the last Samsung people sensitive to that can't use.

[@Mr.J_Games_Facts_Trivia]

I just got my s23 ultra last week. Still superb with less price

[@Kavindu742]

Yeah same here 😊

[@Tyronnster]

I'm looking at one now. Tempted between this an pixel 7 pro

[@Mr.J_Games_Facts_Trivia]

​@@Tyronnster s23 ultra is much better than pixel 7 pro.

[@hervekalundu2978]

Don't complain about the size, some of us have big hands and need 7" phones

[@demboy2563]

Most of people prefer smaller size

[@ancientslav4863]

I always used 5-6.1 inchers. Then got a 6.3, 6.55, and now on this beast of 6.8. iPhone 16 pro max is 6.9 now. And I have small hands. I feared big phones. And after the first month of use in 2022, I could NEVER go back to a smaller size than 6.7. The reading of texts, manga, watching videos, browsing, gaming...all is just so good and immersive I have a S23 ultra which even after S24U and iP15/16 pro max, I still consider the king of phones - mostly due price, but especially due the screen, which is imo better than the above mentioned in 2 aspects. in one hand plus the stylus is great. But I customized screen, icon shape, size and position, and I can even message with one hand. mostly I use it with 2 hands and its just natural to me.

this is the first samsung smartphone who you don t feel like is outdated after 1 year. you don t feel the need to change. maybe with s25 ultra, who knows.

[@Wasted117.]

imo better than s24 ult since s24 ultra has display issues (mura)

[@ancientslav4863]

got it for year and a half. could easily get a S24U or ip16pm tomorrow. Wont. S23u is so good, I just cant do it. Maybe in 3 or so years. if the battery degrades, a new one is like 20$ and I can replace it easy. You just heat up the back, open cover, swap battery, glue it all together and put a case on. done.

[@Wasted117.]

@@ancientslav4863 wonder how much street shops would do it for. Tho gotta be careful of scammers that replace with weaker batteries so I'd probably buy my own, give it to them and just ask them to do the replacing with the battery I bring.

[@royhi1809]

I just bought one and saved over $300, so I bought a Galaxy watch 6 classic. What a great phone and watch combination.

[@ancientslav4863]

750$ was for me last year and its the best. today second hand in my country goes from 550$. Think once S25U comes early 2025, one could get a S23U for like 400$. Can you imagine 400$ for a s23U? insane value even in 2027! even in 4 years it will be better than any sub 700$ new xiaomi or such.

[@Rio_3505]

i got a new one for £500 and all i can say is im never getting iphone again

I got my S24 ultra for $10/mo x 36mo by trading in my S20+!

[@kylesampson2167]

So three years of monthly payments

[@Only1Sethy]

@@kylesampson2167 yep, adds up to $360. I plan on keeping the phone for longer than 3 years, I kept my s20+ for 4+.

[@vaultboy1419]

Monthly payments is the most ridiculous way to buy something. If you can't afford it, don't buy it.

[@Only1Sethy]

@@vaultboy1419 Buddy, you don't need to worry about what I can afford. You have a monthly bill anyways. Costs me $10 extra/mo on my bill. $360 total.

[@kylesampson2167]

1-2 would have been a better option, 3 is just too much cause by the time you want to get a new phone you'll still be paying that one off, 10 a month is a good deal but not over three years, I'd like to think most people that can upgrade every 1-2 years but I do seen the odd one out still using a phone from 4-6 years ago in desperate need of an upgrade but I also see why they don't possibly due to money constraints and whatnot

[@Kryzez]

Why is the battery so much better on the s23+ compared to the ultra ?

[@Zvxers7]

Ultra probably has smaller battery because of the S pen

[@abrarlmao]

Cause ultra has 1440p display whereas s23 plus one is 1080p,if anyone use ultra in 1080p they will also get juice outta it but iguess noone wants to lose thos sharp quality of content experience 😊

[@kylesampson2167]

Why pay the extra money if your just going to use it in 1080p anyway might aswell settle for the plus model 🤔 I have the ultra and use it in 1140p and 120hz all the time, my battery lasts me all day

[@kylesampson2167]

​@Zvxers7 the ultra has the bigger battery at 5000mha

[@gLOWbalx]

@@abrarlmaoDidn't notice a difference. Unplugged it at 10:30am, moderate use, 1080p, light performance and it still died before before 11pm.

[@BreakinMyRS]

Got the s23 ultra when it first came out. I kinda miss my S21 ultra 5G.But this phone is def top teir.

[@toddpace4588]

Your gripe is that its "incredibly big?" They have S23 and S23 plus which are both smaller. Lol

[@starblissgames]

I do not like the curved screen on my S23 Ultra. Sure, it feels nice, but it is so inconvenient for screen protectors and is so vulnerable to damage like scratches and cracks (like I myself have experienced). I don't actually plan on upgrading anytime soon as I enjoy my S23U, but my next phone will either be an S25 or S26 Ultra, maybe even the Plus model because of the more ergonomic shape.

[@jaycaparos6951]

with s23 ultra in half huge discounts now. It is the bang for buck phone in 2024.

[@tariktorkane8939]

They are talking about the S23 Ultra phone that was released in 2023 and whether it is worth buying in 2024, while they also talk about the S24 Ultra phone released in 2024 that will last until 2030. What nonsense is this?!

That’s exactly what I’m saying. They just fr got small mittens 😂😂

I have small hands. I'm handling S23u easy daily even one handed. 7 inch would be doable too

[@SamTullie]

I have the S23 ultra 8 gigs of RAM Snapdragon and recently a few times it has freezed out or timed out or the app has crashed in the back and this is after making sure everything was cleaned just kind of weird I'm kind of upset when I was on the phone with Verizon they said it was going to be the 12 gigs of RAM but it was the 8

[@ancientslav4863]

I have 8GB, never had any issues and I'm a semi heavy user.

[@SamTullie]

@@ancientslav4863 well I know this is a far out reply but you know that the phone companies intentionally ruin your phone right they do I've had a couple times where I'm like what the hell just happened to my phone oh nothing don't worry about it we'll fix it even though they did it over there signal anyways you'd have to really do some research but I'm right and it's correct what I'm saying

[@ancientslav4863]

I don't like AI. both videos like this and in general. but I have to say this. I have both the 8/256GB and the 12/512GB version. And in my day to day tasks I feel 0 difference. I'm using we browser, KZbin, reddit, X (twitter) and calls daily. I get usually 10h SOT in 1 day, 8h over 2 days, and 7h over the entire weekend if I'm using it little with over 40h standby time. My batteries have like 600 charging cycles each, and yet the battery never drops fast even from 100%. Maybe cause I'm charging 20 to 80%, and only once a month to 100 and drain it, to calibrate battery (shows % properly). My highest SOT was 11h 13 min in 1 day of really heavy use (not gaming), but that was UI 6. since 6.1, I cant hit that 11h. Whatever, its a 2 day battery for regular folks The "curve" on the screen is in fact the smallest curve on any curved screen. Its almost flat, I consider it flat to my eyes, I never notice any curve. What I do notice is the miniscule curve helps with swipe gestures from sides (many noted the same), which is harder on flat screen of the likes of iPhone. I had many cheaper, mid, or high end phones. What many don't tell you, is that not all oled is the same pleasant quality. I've had maybe ť phones past 3 years all with oled and 120Hz, yet the beauty of the S23U screen was clear immediate. In fact, my friend has the newer S24 plus, and the S23U next to it looked 10 times better - colors, vibrancy and such. Maybe its the curved screen, that its thicker or what, because no under 1000$ phone had better screen than the S23U. S24U has that new coating and colors don't pop as much, so to my eyes S23U screen looks nicer in doors, and S24U outdoors due to the antireflecting. Also, what you don't find in common store description or even official page for a phone, is how it sounds. You either see the 24 bit blah blah blah stereo speakers something something info and that's all. Let me tell you this. the ONLY phones that sounded better than the S23U were the iphone 15 and 16 pro line, some Sony 1 quad speaker, and a foldable with 4 speakers. Any xiaomi, oneplus, or even pixel for around 1000$ didn't come close to the richness of the S23U speakers. I see mediocre poco, xiaomi, samsung phones new for 400-700$, and I see S23Us for as low as 550$ second hand here. if I had to, Id buy it any day again. Came with android 13, has 14, and is set to get 15, 16, and 17. some think after this its over. Well, my mums old 2018 phones work just like day 1 and will probably till 2030. A S21U for 250$ second had is better than any 500$ phone new. The only black sheep of the family is S22U. Had it. NEVER AGAIN!!!
