Samsung pushed the entire industry forward MULTIPLE TIMES throughout smartphone history. They even made the first mainstream wireless earbuds and also normalised big phones. Now they're continuing that legacy with foldables.

[@umakantkumar7457]

if he did not say that woudn't that be cocky

[@ZombieChrist265]

Yep Samsung made some big contributions to the tech Industry. - made the first iPhones processor - made big phones popular when everyone saw it as a joke - makes the best mobile displays in the market - started foldables - insanely fast storage and ram thanks to Samsung - Literally saved android wear by collaborating with Google and making their watch 4 with wearOS - only android manufacturer going toe to toe with Apple.

Interesting take. Although I'd argue that the S23 Ultra is a more significant upgrade over the S22 Ultra than most people think. While it looks mostly the same as the S22 Ultra, there were substantial improvements in performance, battery life, speaker quality, and comfort. These aren't features that jump out at you but they're things that actually matter on a day-to-day basis. Thanks for sharing your perspective; looking forward to the next one!

[@Azx12345]

True he mostly talked in terms of design which is obviously not that different from s22 ultra but there are definitely other things which are upgraded

[@faisalrahman9236]

He didn't say anything about the legendary 3x and 10x optical zoom lenses, why?

He'll obviously undermine the S23 Ultra since Samsung is a competitor to his brand. Its a marketing stunt, not an actual 'review'.

[@kingini-fv5xj]

What do u expect phone buff ? He is just acting like a honest man 😂

[@Malayalmi]

S Pen actually comes in very handy (other than taking notes or whatnot) while editing photos or videos or drawing and the size of the screen really helps for that matter. In addition, I think its definitely more useful than your Glyph lights!!

He forgot to explore the s pen.. its like a wand remote and it. has gesture features..

[@niv6924]

This strategy is very clever by Carl I’d say. Many people say that he’s really humble and down to earth (which he is) and other companies would never say good things about a rival brand, blah blah blah. But if you pay attention to all these “reviews” of Carl, he always says the good things about phone and then really elaborates on its weaknesses while comparing them with the Nothing phone when possible. (For example, from what I’ve seen all his reviews start by saying “I used to like early versions of this because of this reason, but now they’ve changed it”) Many say he’s being open minded and honest, I’d say he’s basically saying what’s wrong with these other phones. Playing some next level mind games. Very clever.

[@TheDude50447]

The S23U focuses on the things that matter and I appreciate that. Unless doing unnecessary design changes they focused on the soc, camera, battery life, speaker etc. It was the biggest jump I have seen from flagship devices in more recent years.

[@alpha5124]

I believe the upgrade this year is phenomenal, you'd know if you REALLY used the s23 ultra. In my opinion, the s23 ultra is the best phone out now. The software and hardware that make up this phone responds seamlessly like a newly oiled wheel. But then Huawei's CEO also called iPhone the best phone in the world some years back 😂

[@zayn659]

some years back they were, i don't think they still have that crown

[@Dipole__]

Switched frm iphone12 to s23 ultra, the DEX feature is literally the best smartphone feature i have ever used! Carl saying the os is outdated is crazy!

[@torreong91]

He also says Samsung didn't change much on it from the s22 and you shouldn't do that and they literally just released their first second gen product that looks the same as their first. 😂

[@darrenholder1864]

Right I rarely use the pen so I can agree a bit not completely. However the software is amazing and I like it over my 14pro max. Spen handy for signs and taking pics.... I love the dex and it's crazy when samsung change their design every two year or so and others doing the same for 7years

[@apostolis.diamantopoulos]

It looks outdated for sure

[@Zellzoi]

bad idea, you really should've just bought a Pixel 7 Pro... One UI is an absolute mess, and while it may seem like the opposite right now, years down the line you'll notice how overrated Samsung is

[@darrenholder1864]

@@Zellzoi I gave the pixel up for the iPhone. One u.i has been the most comfortable, sensible u.i I've used. Pixel has nothing new, using the pixel felt like an s21.... most of the Android 13 "updates" I already had on my s21u...... including there biggest feature removing objects from the picture all old features.

[@deathmetalsl]

Samsung's software is quite literally the best I have used in terms of customization and reliability. I moved from a OnePlus 7 Pro to an S21 Ultra and thought I would miss Oxygen OS, but OneUI is significantly better.

[@Nomad88Chun]

S pen is one of the most useful things for me, main reason upgrading to S23 ultra. I talked to multiple people every day with different languages, and translation and smart selection are very useful on an everyday basis.

[@vanshsharma6809]

Noice. However, I disagree with you on several things, Carl. 1. It IS a huge upgrade considering the Videography has been pushed to the next levels, stabilizationis in a league of its own, battery life is MASSIVE, and it literally competes with iPhone 14 Pro Max, neck-to-neck in almost everything while DOMINATING the photography part and doing, for the first time, just fine with the videography, too. 2. S-Pen can come in handy. Wireless functions aside, writing and navigation becomes a habit. Personally using it on my tab and I can't survive without it, anymore. And, I definitely don't agree with your let-it-be idea for pen and paper. I've completely shifted to my Samsung tab for notes and stuff. I use S-Pen, now. Saved hundreds of pages, if not thousands. 3. iPhones have done literally nothing to upgrade their design while Samsung has been at it, every year. Give them a rest, they updated everything else and they did it, magnificantly and massively. 4. Agreed, the pre-installed apps are a bit annoying, but most can be uninstalled. About the UI, it's just simple-looking and sophisticated, intead of flashy and entertaining. However, the features that are fit in it- 🤌. BIXBY ROUTINES. So useful! 5. So, yeah, I doubt comparing pricing of Nothing Phone (1) with Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is even logical. I can get 3 Micromax In Note 1's at the price of Nothing Phone (1), but would that make a difference? Obviously not, the difference in software and hardware couldn't be more obvious.

[@rinzzlerr]

Nothing's marketing team is brilliant. Nothing has launched only one smartphone till date and it is commendable how they keep that product alive in all kinds of discussions in the tech world. And they are levaraging products from other brands for that.

[@gumball7212]

Ahhh you know the market pretty well ✌

[@upordown1]

Most people have no idea what the "Nothing phone" is though. It's only us tech enthusiasts who watch these types of videos that know.

[@veronventris2726]

He Says S23 Ultra is not changed from S22 Ultra, But the same is with iPhone 12 to 13 to 14 .. He wants to diss Samsung but not Apple because he wants to compare Nothing company with Apple because Apple company means premium and not Samsung. Also Samsung is direct Nothing competition but not Apple... Spen is nothing, Zoom is nothing.. What a lot of BS.. if you don't like the size you can go with S23 or S23 Plus.. Also he says UI of Samsung has not changed since last 14 yrs... It's so clean , every tech youtubers like that... Nothing knows Samsung is eating into its market but Apple won't eat because both Apple and Nothing is in two different price range but not Samsung.. So much Sarcasm in this video but we can see your Bullshit..

[@rinzzlerr]

That is a fact. More and more people are getting to know about the brand. However, whenever someone asks for a product suggestion in that price range to enthusiasts like us, Nothing keeps popping up. However, to be frank, Nothing as a brand is yet to excite me. Like how he compared the SPen to paper amd pen, i don't need a glyph interface, have a normal flashlight at home.

[@veronventris2726]

@@rinzzlerr every company when it's small they can do all these kind of marketing things, same was with OnePlus, once they become big you can't do things these people are doing as they would be busy.

[@Stephan481]

I don't think he spent much time with the s23 ultra because otherwise he would have noticed that the software, especially the way it's designed is perfectly for a device this size. The multitasking is superior compared to other devices and they done a great job with optimising everything on the screen so that you can control it better with one hand.

It's a preference thing, me I personally like one UI, that's cos I'm coming from stock android (android One, anybody remember those) then MiUI which is it's own unique thing with small quality of life inconsistencies that can annoy you and local skins from the likes of Infinix and Tecno and Oppo. So till date One UI is the most feature Richa and least likely to break android skin I've experienced

Pen is the most awesome feature of this phone. 2:57. why is it not useful?

I get it tho, the idea of a podcast might sound like a hassle considering there a way too many tech related podcasts already out there like the waveform by mkbhd but i just wanna hear my man carl's perspective on the tech world. Like what goes through behind the scenes of a company's decision of making certain products and his experience so far with nothing. Also a big reason for this would be that i adore Carl man, he's a great and honest guy, watching him in your videos is always a joy and I'd gladly wish for more of that. Great video guys

[@slavboii420]

When we use OneUI, it is more about the wide range of customisability found, the base OS does look a bit clunky at times, but customising it is a joy. Also I do have to admit that Samsung has improved a lot from the Touchwiz or Samsung Experience UI days

[@iceynuel9066]

I totally disagree with Carl about the jump from S22 ultra to the S23 ultra.. the jump is massive, massive improvement in battery life, massive improvement in performance, massive improvement in camera.. massive speaker improvements.. I went from the S22 ultra to the S23 ultra.. the difference is overwhelming.. the S23 is a complete smartphone.. you get more than you want.. i mean.. what more can you ask for?? ..yes.. i don't use the S pen so much but most people love it

[@serialchillerselection]

Interesting input. Kinda agree with S3 which was so nice in hand, afterwards that same feel of Samsung kinda vanished in terms of design. The thing is today, it just work for most people (who as you said don't think too much about details). And soon I think with the ecosystem they work on (including their preinstalled apps) they will gain even more market share, because people are going to be too lazy to switch to another one after they learn how it works. They are still kings of android phone market. Next review I would like to see is Pixel 7 Pro or 6a (similar pricing as Nothing Phone 1) because they should have best android experience on the market, from software side. And than how Nothing OS overlay over it and pros and cons between each others, that would be super interesting. Keep up the good work. ✌

[@prince_warhero]

Apple also includes all their apps like facetime, imessage, notes etc so that is also bloatware as you consider manufacturer apps (samsung apps ) as bloatware iphone is dominating only in USA and may be a little in EU.

[@anakinskyguy6582]

All the things he listed as things he didn't liked are the things precisely why I love samsung lol. I cannot live without the spen and samsung software can look too much but it's actually pretty robust and samsung is actually the android company with the best software support, beating even google and almost as good as apple. Desing is subjective, and to me, the s23U is way more attractive and futuristic than any iPhone, but hey, I respect his opinion nonetheless.

[@_-HaKooNa.MaTaTa-]

so many people like a clean OS experience. The bloatware in One UI, MIUI, Color OS etc, is irritating.

He didn't talk about the telephoto lenses because obviously phone(1) doesn't have it and also I don't expect phone(2) to have it. The 3x lens is the best one to take portrait shots. It's the lens that I have used the most personally. Common guys we all know this isn't an actual review and we don't expect him to do one considering the busy schedule that he has. And coming to the software part, OneUI is amazing. It's really well optimised, and has very smooth animations this time (coming from the s23 ultra user). It also has a lot of features which each individual can tweak according to their liking. The software is amazing, however I agree that it "looks" Outdated now. The UI definitely needs an overhaul.

The only reason I ALWAYS buy Samsung is software. I used to have s2 s4 then s7 edge, then because of price I went to A series, A71, A72 then I was like wtf, I tried s22+ and to this day I'm baffled at how amazingly good Samsung phones are and how much they get better and better over the years. I've tried many other phones but Samsungs software, UI and other features are mandatory for me. I don't need to have the top smartphones (like the A series, which I loved BTW!), I just want to have an amazing experience. And now, that software support has FINALLY reached the level it should have from the beginning, I dare to say it's no wonder Apple is declining and is only a superior choice in the US, and the rest of the world is purely Android dominant.

06:19 yes, then what progress do we have with Iphone13 and Iphone14(not D-island) and how many phone2 can be bought for 1 S23U. When comes to s/w Samsung's OneUI is best even better than pixelUI in some aspects.

[@princenemesis]

I think there are a number of differences but they become noticeable if your coming from the s22 more. Granted most of the changes come from the processor change especially for us in the UK.

[@androidoneiu5206]

Change is more specially for the rest of the world with the Qualcomm 8 gen 1 is a huge improvement

[@georgeie12]

His criticisms of the S23U aren't without merit and I agree with many of them. My only thing is time will tell when Nothing releases their own flagship sometime this year and how that will compare with the Pixel 8 Pro (later this year), iPhone 15 Pro and S23U. Bookmark this video to come back to when their flagship releases to hold Carl to his criticisms.

[@Godfrey..]

Noted am on you on that.

[@lexusstefan927]

Do agree about the upgrade, had a Note 20 Ultra and going to S23 Ultra one massive upgrade was battery life, brighter screen and slightly better gaming performance. But day to day usage is pretty much the same

[@karansharma1204]

Those pre installed apps you see are kinda useful. People who buy a Samsung ultra, majorly are already into the Samsung ecosystem. The Samsung watch and it's apps are pre installed. Their buds related apps are installed. Their tv related, health app related. The Google apps.

[@TIMVIX]

This was so interesting to watch! Please do one with Pixel 7 Pro!

[@ndasarathy1]

That spen's been a life saver for me. I use it almost every single day. It cannot replace a paper and pen. But you cannot carry them and write at every situation. The only thing that I hate is the removal of SD card. BTW I am still on the note 9 😅

[@piotrczerwonka3133]

hah, me too, changed the battery two times already.

[@terminator9735]

I don't use the S pen to jot down notes but I do find myself using it for its other features such as extracting texts and translating just by hovering the S pen over the text, editing photos, signing PDFs and documents etc and its remote control functions are pretty useful too.

[@umeraslam7639]

Great review. Samsung DEX is a great feature where you don't need to lug a laptop around and get basic productivity tasks completed. Also the s-pen can be used as a remote shutter button, but the biggest thing for me is the improved battery life from s22 ultra to the s23 ultra.

[@djsat2]

I had the Exynos S22 and was really disappointed with performance and battery life, upgraded to the SD S23 and was blown away by the improvements. Really hope Samsung stick with SD in the future.

[@ranadeeproy6734]

I am sure Carl did not spend enough time on S23 Ultra hence his software remark is unrealistic. The One UI is the best custom Android OS and well optimized. I found S-pen very useful for me. As a creative artist, I use Spen a lot. It's a daily tool for me. I agree with Carl on one point Samsung push bloatware a lot even in flagship premium device, it should not have happened

An improvement in battery is the most important upgrade a phone would ever need and Samsung just nailed it in the s23 series.

Samsung latest design of S23 ultra is the best, it gives it a unique and recognizable look

[@youandiryan]

I absolutely love having my s pen. And it's only when I use a different phone do I realize how important the s pen is to me. It's not just for writing. You can use it as a remote. You can use it as gesturing for commands. Or you can just use it as a pen haha. It's just really handy to have

[@ankansharma4897]

There is only one reason I will prefer Samsung always because of its silent call recording. If Nothing implements it I am getting it the next day.

[@amitjesur]

Yes. I would buy nothing flagship if it has call recording without announcement. That's the compulsory feature I want in my phone. 👍

[@joeljustin]

Still depends on the country you are in. Some countries require you to ensure both the parties have their consent on being recorded, so phone companies just disable call recording feature altogether via software update to comply with laws.

[@amitjesur]

@@joeljustin there is no such rule in India. You can record calls

[@ankitDchauhan]

totally agreed

[@waltuh2809]

True. Thats the only feature that is keeping me from choosing the Pixel 7 over S23+. I want to get Pixel 7 to continue my collection from my nexus days but call recording is just that 1 feature I don’t want to miss out on.

bruh how can someone dislike the One Ui its literally the best Smartphone Ui.. did u see the amount of work that Samsung puts in the Gallery app ? "for example" (u have applying blur effect to any pic. / remastering photos using ai / creating stickers / removing objects from background / smart view and more stuff... ). also dex is so useful for many people, and the media outputs is so important, i noticed that iOS and most of the other androids doesn't have it, its a feature where u can switch between ur Bluetooth device and the phone speakers.. and one more thing the settings are way more organized then the other android phones. ah yea and don't forget that iOS doesn't have a Clipboard :|

[@puneetmaheshwari]

i agree one UI have too many preinstalled app but other then that it is pretty great with a lot lot lot of customization

[@Omar-zc8wc]

I understand that there are way too many pre-installed apps however, when a consumer buys a Samsung phone, they know that they invested in using their features. I personally find most of the Samsung alternative apps compared to Google's to be considerably more nicer to use with better features.

[@madzoroyal]

Samsung Internet for example is the best browser on mobile

[@Basitaholic_69]

[@Asifur_Rahman]

There is no doubt about that Nothing is offering good software support as a new company but I think it will be difficult for nothing to beat SAMSUNG. I like the design and build quality of Samsung(S23 ultra). Again one UI is lighter and more polished then before although samsung should remove the bloatwars form their flagship product.

[@az50056]

Idk why a lot of people say there is bloatware. I think it's because most people are addicted to Google products. Which is not a good thing and a monopoly. If you do not like any app that is pre-loaded to Samsung Devices you can always uninstall it.

At 2:09, you said the fruit company pays attention to their design. Also later in the video, you discussed that their isnt any major differentiating factor between S22 ultra and S23 ultra. Since iphone 11, they havent changed their design and the difference between 13 series and 14 series isnt major other than the island. Nothing being a brand who understands design should have said this. All good but these factors just not good.
