Regarding the shutter lag on the S23 Ultra, it's because the phone is taking the pictures when u let off the capture button instead of taking the picture when u touch it. This can be changed in the settings & you won't have shutter lag anymore.

As a professional designer, I'm glad that Samsung considered giving us (Powerful zooming) what other huge brands like iPhone or google pixel have never thought of. With the highest number of pixels, you might not need camera lenses, you get sharp & quality images which is very important Also, the videos & photos are already color graded. you just take the shots & share (just as they are marketing). If there's need to edit, you will only do simple touch-ups.

[@shanafehr]

❣️💐I'm a Samsung gal, and it's the OS of my preference. As a working tool, I've found to be able to do much more using Samsung ever since the Note 2, when I dropped Apple.

[@KuttyJoe]

I'm also a long time Note user. I have carried Notes since the very first one came out. My biggest gripe though has been the camera. I'm currently still using a Note 20 Ultra and the camera is terrible. I kind of gave up on the idea that Samsung could make a great camera. I'm seriously thinking of getting an iPhone 14 just for the camera because I don't think I could do iPhone as a daily driver.

[@engineer_alv]

@@KuttyJoe that's a very expensive camera then. What I've found at least on the S21 is that camera quality has improved quite noticeably with updates. My biggest gripe about the Note family was that it always arrived with a 1yr old Android version instead of being on par with the Pixels released on the same timeframe. I owned the Note 4, 5 and the 8. All of them arrived with an older Android and only received 2 OS updates. That was definitely no flagship treatment to me, knowing my $900 Note 8 launched with Android 7 instead of the newest 8 back then, then waste an OS update to bring it up to date and a year later get its last OS update with Android 9 and that's it for OS updates. Security updates were top notch but OS updates were lacking for such an expensive and capable hardware. Maybe the 10 and 20 are much better because they come with 3 or 4 OS updates but they still arrived with 1yr old Android versions.

[@KuttyJoe]

@@engineer_alv Yeah, it would have been. I ended up getting the S23 Ultra with that deal from AT&T where they give $1000.00 credit towards a new phone with trade in of old phone in any condition. I traded in an old Note 5 that didn't even work and they took it. But to be honest, I don't really like the S23 Ultra. It's bigger, thicker, and heavier than the Note 20 Ultra. It feels like the Note 20 Ultra is the slim new phone and the S23 is the old, thick, clunky one. In day to day use I can barely tell the difference except for the how big and heavy the S23 Ultra is. And apparently the iPhone is bigger and thicker and heavier so there's that.

As a Samsung & Android user for so many years, I have to say that there is no better phone than Galaxy for taking Landscape Photos and Zoom photos. Anyway, S23 Ultra is the most "complete" smartphone for everything. Lots of additional customizable features and insane camera with vibrant colors. Samsung improved their portrait shots a lot. I have to mention that. But, when it comes to portrait shots and videos, the iPhone is insane. No other phone can match that quality, especially for portraits. In my opinion not even S23 Ultra. I mean, that depth looks so natural. It beats even some of the high end DSLR cameras. These new iPhones improved a lot since these famous 11 series. I have to give credit to Apple for that. However, my personal opinion is that no phone in this world is worth more than 800€. The pricings went insane during the past years. 1000€-1500€ for flagship is way too much. For that money you can buy DSLR, decent smartphone and TV. 🤣

[@carlapark]

I couldn't agree more... what has happened to phone prices... seriously, it is out of control!

[@Fr3e3]

Better than high end DSLRs? Are you comparing to the ones from 2005?

[@WhatTheFlipOfficial]

I've owned every generation of the Samsung S and Note line up and the S23 is such a huge leap forward, similar to when they got rid of the home button and added under screen fingerprint sensor and 120hz. Sure it looks similar to the S22u and even the Note 20 ultra but why change perfection? I pre-ordered the S23U on the third and still haven't received it, quite disappointed. The screen with less curve actually makes a huge difference in usability and overall feel. I hope they get rid of the curve completely soon as that's a weak spot that most cases can't protect.

[@KuttyJoe]

The curved glass is also a stupid feature for a phone that is meant to be written on with a stylus. You end up with a smaller surface to write on, and then you end up staying away from the edge because the stylus slips off the edge, so your writing space is even smaller again. This is one of the worst cases of style over function.

[@blueridgeocean]

I use speck cases. Slim and high quality.

[@blueridgeocean]

@KuttyJoe I remember when my mother brought home a galaxy phone several years ago, and I was blown away by how cool and pleasant the curved edges were. Here is the thing, most sticky notes have smaller surfaces to write on than this s23 ultra. Further more most pocket note pads have about the same width as the usable surface on the ultra. Perhaps it's true that the pleasure of my writing experience on the phone will gradually increase with a non curved edge but I didn't buy this phone to make handwritten notes. [Though I do admit it's one of my most favorite things about the phone. Being able to write down a phone number real quick on the spot is quite amazing)

[@KuttyJoe]

@@blueridgeocean I don't think you can compare writing on a perfectly flat physical sticky note to writing on a piece of glass with curved edges. The experience of writing on paper is simply always going to be better than writing on a phone. The phone is doing it's best to emulate writing on paper. So just comparing the size of the sticky note is not a good comparison. With pen and paper it's actually easier to just write smaller and go right up to the edges if you need to. You can't do that with any Note, not even the older ones that had flat screens. The stylus gets wonky, and the cursor moves away from the tip of the stylus as you get closer to the edge. But at least the stylus didn't slip over the edge like a cliff. Oh well, Samsung is doing whatever it has to do to get sales. And if the sales stop the phone also goes away so we have to accept the good with the bad in that case.

[@TheSongofSaya]

Ever since the S22 Ultra, I switched over permanently from iPhone to Samsung. There are just categories I prefer that the S series does better. As someone who plays games, it's also more seamless and consistent.

[@djplonghead5403]

So my favorite looking phone of all time is the S9+/ Note 9. No punch hole or notch, just a handsome bar across. I like the Samsung ultra as I often find me using the zoom a lot, for both pictures and videos. One example is when your at a football game and need to video the game, following the ball of a player. With iPhone’s 15x max zoom, it’s impossible to get a clear and close shot of the subject from the stands. (I am talking about high school football were there are not massive screens for the viewer.) With the Samsung you can get a clear shot between 10-30 and still have a close shot of the ball. I even find myself using the ultra wide was less the telephoto.

My guess is that phone companies are doing what the car industry is doing: three year cycle periods. As the s21-23 are very similar then I think the S24 should have a decent update, although it may be the S25 as the ultras have had their design for the S22 and S23.

As a programmer, macOS is so much more convenient to use (than windows, and I can boot up with linux at any given time) that I kinda had to get an iphone 14 pro max. My previous phone was S20+. After a few months, I gotta say that for everyday use, I most definitely prefer the iphone. I have never had as good of a battery life as I do with the iphone, and all social media apps work so much better and at true 120Hz compared to the samsung (even when it was a new device). I like to toy with my phone, so that’s kind of a bummer that I can’t with the iphone (at least not as much), but the smoothness of the UI makes that up quite well.

[@opaliittiopa]

@@TechReviewTom the batterylife is highly dependent on the apps and stuff you are doing wirh your phone. My 14PM lasts around 2 days with heavy snapchatting, tiktok, instagram etc. Those apps are much less power efficient on android, and therefore the batterylife would most likely be worse for ME in the s23U. In some other areas the samsung might win, or not. A lot of battery tests on yt show that iphone 14PM and Samsung galaxy s23U are very close to each other in terms of batterylife

[@zakazjack6257]

Both phones are very close in most categories, but to me .. the S23ultra wins.. mainly due to the more useful features that majority of people could actually find use for. Granted the satellite signal feat is cool on iPhone but that's a tool for explorers in my book. Which Is a small percentage of individuals. Where as having something like Dex granted been in quite a few galaxies but still its better and better. And Def the future .. more brands are starting to cook up their own versions. Also apple still doesn't cater to developers and software enthusiasts like myself.
