Finally, someone with the courage to pick just one phone of the year.

[@philforde5871]

It’s mostly the US reviewers who sit on the fence. iMessage and FaceTime are default apps there because of the preponderance of iPhones, plus most have the utility of Mac computers.

[@andyH_England]

Most unbiased reviewers understand that there is little between all flagships in 2023 and that the time when a phone stands above the crowd is gone. Now, it is a personal subjective choice, and whatever you choose, you have a phone that is 95% as good as the next. Obviously, Samsung fans want to hear how good the S23U is, but if you do not use an S-pen or DeX, the vast majority of smartphone users, maybe 99%, then the S23U is lost in a crowd of great flagship phones.

[@19GREAT15AWAKENING06]

You said it best. This phone does not feel like it's aged at all. I grabbed the S23 Ultra when it was released and it's working like I just got it. It's not slowing because of a processor that can't keep up and the software updates keep it optimized and the camera is great.

[@B-MARTINEZ22]

This phone just feels classy,high end quality and that screen is insane

[@phothewin6019]

When I try to rank the best phones this year, I keep coming back to the fact that the S23 Ultra is almost a year-old and it still holds up very well against phones that were released in the 3rd quarter. It's such great value for a great package overall.

[@andyH_England]

It's a mature smartphone market now; yearly changes are nominal, and you will see next year that phones from 2023 will hold up well compared to 2024 releases. Your point is brought up a lot but is now a misnomer.

[@phothewin6019]

@@andyH_England Obviously there have mainly been refreshes every year instead of flat-out upgrades. What I mean by "holds up well" is that it flat-out beats or performs very, very close to 3rd Quarter flagships like the Pixel 8 Pro or 15 Pro Max. It's hard to say the same for 2022 flagships. More heavy phone users will notice the difference between a 2022 flagship when comparing it to its contemporaries in 2023. Also, your use of "misnomer" might be a misnomer.

[@andyH_England]

@@phothewin6019 My overall take is that expectations of improvements year on year should now be downgraded and therefore improvements in one specific year are probably minor. So, believing that it is holding up well 6 months later compared to the latest releases isn't really the reality. Though I admit 5 years ago your general statement was more relevant. Those days are well passed and we are reaching the point of peak smartphones, hence OEMs marketing AI as the new big thing, which will hopefully boost sales when new chips just don't do it anymore.

[@phothewin6019]

I'm honestly STILL in LOVE with my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra!

[@Mo.Jo.]

I've had my Note 9 for 5+ years now and its still going strong as it was the latest and greatest when it was first released. Sure, the lack of security updates and slowly seeing less and less updates from my other apps has concerned me but I'll keep using this phone until it gives out or i really need to upgrade. I'm not a power user and nor do i play games on my phone, so just happy that i don't need to waste resources to upgrade every year/couple of years. The one advice i would give anyone wanting to keep their phones a long time is to always maintain their batteries between 20% - 80%. I never had software support on my Note 9 to help me do that, but i did it consciously from the day i unboxed my device and 5 years later i still get ALMOST a full days worth of use before needing to recharge.

[@user-wi8rn1sn3l]

Поздрав. Regards. I am super happy with my Note9 blue 128G even today. Something like you but use to played even a games +used s pen in many occasions and mostly watching movies and other content.

Im still using my Galaxy S9 Plus. Its been 5 years and 9 months phone. May i ask, what do you mean by maintain battery from 20%-80% ? Can we charge our phone even if its still 70%? I usually do that. Do you also do that or do you have other tips ? Sorry bad english.

​@@horizon9792charge when battery reaches 20% and disconnect charger when battery reaches 80%.

@@horizon9792 Plug it in when its 20% and plug it out when its 80%. Dont go below 20%, dont go higher than 80%. Pretty simple and will keep your battery at good working condition. That's the only tip i give everyone to prolong the life of their smartphones. If you have not been doing that for 5 years and 9 months then its probably too late to start now.

[@thelastmelon9446]

I would still be using my Note 9 if my toddler hadn't cracked the screen earlier this year but I have to be honest after finally upgrading to the S23 Ultra it is a glorious upgrade. By all means keep using the Note 9 though but when you do finally upgrade to the latest Note/Ultra phone you will be delighted with it

[@leechburglights]

I seriously just walked into a T-moble store today and transferred my service from my Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy Note20 to this, a Galaxy S23 Ultra. I traded in my Note20 for this, one-for-one. My Note 20 still was amazing after almost 3 years, never a problem. My company is consolidating and updating our phone plans and it was noted that my monthly service charge would drop while giving me more data. Took forever to transfer everything from the old phone to this one. I expect to have this phone for 2 years before getting an upgrade. Hope it holds up as well as the other Galaxy series I've had like the Gaxaxy 4, 6, 7, and Note20.

The bump from the S23U (8Gen2) to S24U (8Gen3) is likely to be much smaller than from S22U (Ex) to S23U (8Gen2). If money's no concern go for it, but consider the S23U, as you'd be getting 95% the phone for substantially less cost. I have the regular S23, & on moderate/typical use it's a 2 day phone. The 8Gen2 gives more than enough battery life for me.

Just bought this beast a month ago. (upgraded from an S9) It does not disappoint. I am not a small guy so the phone was not hard for me to one hand operate for the most part. Haven't used the pen for more than 5 seconds. Like all my phones, a screen protector and otterbox are a must within 5 minutes of owning it. As an old schooler, I do miss the SD card expansion and the 3.5mm jack... Heck I still miss my IR blaster from the S5. All the camera features are still a head scratcher, but they are growing on me. The other plus is being able to remove a lot of the "bloatware" that previous versions would not allow.

[@whodatdere1]

@horizon9792 I loved my S9. Battery needed to be replaced and I think there was a memory issue, because no matter what I deleted or transferred to my SD card, it was always "full"

No, its display isn't that much bigger than that of a Fold IF you purposely show videos side by side. 16:9 et al. only fit so many ways. It's entirely different when you use a browser, for example. And I'm not sure everybody is having difficulty switching to the inside screen on a Fold. To me, the outer screen is a mere notification area. I would never use it to truly interact with the phone, I just quickly open the device when I do. I honestly wouldn't mind if it didn't have a proper screen on the outside at all. It would save a lot of money and I wouldn't have to worry about damaging it.

I tried all types from Spigen. - Screen protectors for this phone are very expensive and they can easily be displaced and attract air bubbles and eventually break. - I then decided to use it without screen protector and it started to get scratches very easily and on daily basis because I live in a semi-desert country and sand is everywhere and whenever I clean sand the screen scratches. - So, despite the big love I have towards this phone I said goodbye to it and sold it and said I will never buy a curved-display phone again. - Other than that, this phone is a beast, and no other phone can even come close to it not even the iPhone 15 ProMax.

Even midrange phones do pretty much everything u need and lets face it most of us just open Ig youtube and so forth or use the camera here and there. My poco F5 is more than powerful for years to come, I wont change this phone for at least 3 years. Imo after snapragon 865 everyphone just performs the same day to day, and even demanding use unless u gonna so smth extreme which 865 can still pull off.

1. Curve display no screen protector works 2. Bad screen easily catches scratch 3. Single speake at bottom, there should be 2 speakers at bottom 4. Big size AI is good , pen and photography is good.

I bought my S23 Ultra last year in February when it was released. It truly still feels fresh and current. No regrets ~

[@MatthewMoniz]

Its a great phone!

[@beyondtheuniverse999]

What's the price of s24 ultra 256gb version going to be?

[@trindadecr7221]

Love my S23 ultra amazing.

[@Ignitio2]

Does all s23 ultra phones have dual sim ??

[@mynguyenhongy1456]

Can anyone tell me how to use the internet via bluetooth vsoiws? Why can't I connect to the internet via bluetooth between s23u and tab s8+? ? Even though bluetooth internet connection has been opened in settings

[@josh3326]

My S22 Ultra is just as fast as it was new. Neither my S23 and the S22 have slowed down at all. Samsung devices are becoming more and more longevity devices since using the new Qualcomm chipsets. Samsung needs to get rid of the duplicate apps like their photos, texting, and other ones.

I upgraded from the 22 ultra to the 23 ultra BIG difference in battery life

[@hardlifefortunemajasi8192]

Very correct

[@kb2696]

How many hours are your getting?

[@Severnex]

Anyone know how s23 ultra handles battle royale games like codm or pubg for extended play? For example, my s21 ultra needs to be cooled down with a phone cooler and/or fan for it to run smoothly for even one full game while an ipad pro woth m2 still overheats, but runs smoothly with no frame drops

[@kimjohndeleon80]

It can handle well and with 120fps but it drains the battery faster than usual. Got hot but not so much. Still playable and smooth

[@Severnex]

@@kimjohndeleon80 that's good. I'm not worried about battery drain but more so that I can still play smoothly while it's hot [I'm going for the s24 ultra but trying. To gauge how far technology has gone]

I use dex with ppsspp psp emulator with a controller ❤❤❤ its like a console. ❤23U.

Indeed best mobile phone of 2023

I watched it twice firstly without parents all alone and secondly with my parents I knew what you are going to say at 1:34 so I started to cough till it gets over 😂

I have iPhone 12 Pro Max now and want to switch to Samsung, would you recommend waiting until the 24 comes out and get the 23 on sale or just get the 24?

[@Hydroponic21]

Wait for the s24 bro we are only like 2 weeks away

[@Hydroponic21]

The 12 pro max was a really good phone that was my last iPhone after years of being with Apple then got the s22 ultra now the s23 ultra

MY 2023 list : 1. Huawei mate x5 foldable 1 tb simply brilliant it has absolutely everything devoid of nothing 2. My glorious incredible Samsung s23 ultra most fun phone ive ever owned 3. ONE PLUS OPEN good hinge 4. XIAOMI MIX FOLD 3 excellent design 5. PIXEL 8 PRO impressive AI 6. Iphone 15 pro max 1 tb great video and excellent clean implementation of their AI voice accessibility feature The Huawei mate x5 fold is phenomenal. It has micro SD card, every camera is incredible, 3 to 5 day battery, stylus pen works every screen , big front screen, emergency satellite crash etc it's amazing and I'm a big Samsung fan The iphone 15 pro max is my favorite iPhone but it can't compare to any of those androids with its limitations and many of those features like programmable side key and USB C Samsung has had for years

[@rigelgamagamefowl8301]

samsung gives you different camera quality every update, they keep on changing something that is not broken
