I have the S22 Ultra and am still very much happy with it, next upgrade might be the S24 Ultra or S25 Ultra. Keeping a flagship for 2-3 years has proven to be the way to go for me through the last decade.

[@sadeegreenTV]

Yup I said the same thing

[@SiningniSing]

Same here.

[@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

Obviously you shouldn’t upgrade from year to year unless you just want to and can afford to, just like I got my iPhone 13 Pro Max in 2021, but skipped the 14. You will not see major upgrades in smartphones from year to year, but maybe every few years. By the way I preordered the s23 Ultra it looks like a great smartphone compared to other manufacturers like Apple or Google 🤔.

[@Zuudloarn]

I wouldn't upgrade either, will cost you too much. But the S23 Ultra is the better phone👍

[@faizal3882]

How big is the jump difference? Also upgrading from a Note10+ and waiting for my S23 ultra order.

[@A1Bokeh]

I have a note 10+ now and was thinking the s22 could be nice to have. What are the biggest pros ?

[@kaedre1211]

​@A1Bokeh , I know that question wasn't for me, but I also upgraded from my Note 10 Plus to the S23-Ultra. The biggest upgrade I noted was the 120Hz adaptive refresh rate as opposed to 60 on the Note 10 Plus. Also the camera's are better along with a faster fingerprint sensor. The battery life is better bc the S23-Ultra has a larger battery at 5000 mAh & it last longer. Charging the battery is about the same though. All in all, you can't go wrong by upgrading my brotha & I hope this helps in your decision.

[@winclay33]

I was going to upgrade from the S22 ultra to the S23 ultra until I seen your review. Now I'm going to stay with my S22 ultra as the improvements are minimal and to be honest some of the features seem better with the S22 ultra than the S23 ultra. Thanks Saf, as your review provided an honest outlook and makes sense to me.

[@jesuschristiscallingyou953]

Makes no sense to upgrade. I won't. Besides the newer, bigger camera which doesn't seem promising to me given how bad the smaller 108 MP sensor on my S20 Ultra and S22 Ultra look, it has nothing new to spend money on. Same with Apple. My daily is a 14 Pro Max, and unless the new one this year looks and does something different, I'm not upgrading.

I wasn’t going to upgrade, but the trade in effectively halved the price so I had to consider the alternative of waiting another year, getting significantly less trade in and missing out on a year of having a new (albeit slightly improved) device. Also anyone in the UK has a more compelling reason to upgrade than the US factoring in the chance to ditch Exynos once and for all.

[@toxicturkeyy]

Yea. Will be a great upgrade from my exynos S20 if i end up going that way. The battery life is just so tempting (which i didn't think i'd ever say about a galaxy)!

[@kalle5548]

I'm waiting for the s24 that also will be Snapdragon exclusive, since the trade in is soo bad,

[@CapturedByKen]

I'd say if your current device is meeting all your needs, then stick with it and wait for something that's more than just "slightly improved"

[@SomeDude2346]

I can’t talk about your situation. But in my country however, many people don’t trade in, instead they sell their phones on marketplace. And the value is insane. I got friends who sell their one year old iPhone for the same launch price and people buy them! But then again, it probably doesn’t apply to the UK since I’m from a less developed country. So iPhones that cost 1000 US dollars cost almost double here brand new. I got myself the 14 pro and I’m hoping to sell it next year for the same price I bought it from in the US lol

[@phil5743]

Then I wouldn't get such a good trade in and I wouldn't be able to justify such a big outlay for a flagship.

[@simondva1]

Thanks Saf! With the S21U comparison, could you compare selfies on night mode? Tbh, based on the selfies you showed, it doesn't feel like the S23U is an upgrade at all... I love the selfies the S21U takes on dim rooms with night mode on (incredibly crisp), so I would really want to know if the S23U's are at least as good! Thanks a lot man!

I've had my 22 Ultra for 8 months now. I am in love with the cameras. The zoom stuff has been fantastic for taking photos no other phone can touch. As far as the 23 Ultra goes... i don't see a reason to upgrade.. As stated in the video, upgrading from an older model though I absolutely recommend.

Thanks for the great review! I was able to play a little bit with the camera of an S23 Ultra and compare it with my S22 Ultra, and the results were pretty much the same as here - better, but not by much. That was my main "ooh!" from them hyping it up, but it's just not that big an improvement in reality. It doesn't entirely get rid of the annoying curved screen edge, which would have been another factor for me. The battery life improvement is tempting. Would I be willing to trade it for effectively $100 left to pay? Possibly. The more likely $300 left to pay? Nah.

[@jiminpark-]

the funny thing is that the Samsung s23 series was released the next day I bought s22

[@vinchenzo_88]

Thanks for your video! Samsung Canada has a trade-in pre-order deal right now and they are offering the 512GB version for the 256GB price. I checked my S21 Ultra trade in and I can get the S23 Ultra for about $950 CAD after taxes and shipping which seems like a crazy deal! I'm still gonna wait for your comparison video of the S21/S23 Ultra, but I'm REALLY leaning towards taking advantage of that deal!

[@AntoG4RS]

I switched from s22 Ultra (Exinos) to s23 Ultra and it was a great decision. It is faster, the battery lasts longer and photo and video quality has been improved (marginally). For me the most important improvements are speed (is immediate), and battery lasts a full day of stress, while on Exinos I needed to charge during the day (on summer stress days..).

Very minimalistic difference from the S21 Ultra to S23 Ultra speaking from experience. I'm the type of guy who wants the best tech all the time so if your S21 is in good shape I wouldn't recommend upgrading. The big benefit for me was going from Exynos to Snapdragon

I went from the S22 ultra to the S23 ultra. Why did I switch? In Belgium we have the snapdragon processor for the 1st time + the gen 2 now has a better battery life than the S22 Ultra. I am now 30% lost with 2h30 minutes of screen on (mainly via WiFi),Don't forget that I still have to turn off and set up a few things. . I downloaded some apps, took a few pictures, a bit of facebook and the internet. I did not achieve this result with the S22 ultra. That first 10% flew off much faster than with the S23 ultra. The S23 ultra clearly has a better battery life. We have to wait until tonight to know the end result but it looks good. What I still notice; apps install faster and if you take pictures they are faster in your gallery app. The 200MP camera is razor sharp, not the correct color in all photos, it depends from photo to photo, but if you zoom in on that photo you will notice the difference vs using the regular camera. The normal camera was more realistic in color in a few photos I took. I have not been able to thoroughly test the 8K 30fps camera yet, I did a small test recently and it looks good, but I have to upload it to youtube first, but on the S23 ultra the 8K and also the 4K look great . Also when I zoom in it is very good and the sound is also good. You can conclude that there is not a lot of news, but those number of changes make a difference for me, I do not regret my purchase.

This is definitely what I needed to see I'm not very tech savvy, I don't understand the specs I just see weather or not the numbers have went up or down, and the image has improved or declined. which sadly imo the camera on both front and back has declined on the S23, when it came to the nature scenes minus the one with the people, for some reason the image through 23 the one with the people they look the same other than 22 is more clearer to me and the lighting is a little better than 23. the trees look fake in the other images on 23, the night image with the house the one on 22 seemed more clear less pixely. I use my phone for photography scenery/landscape images, and this video helped me determine what I am going to upgrade to, My phone I have right now is severely outdated and is slowly dying. I have the Moto G7 Supra which honestly takes great photos front camera is slightly horrible but just slightly but thank you again for this video it truly helps.

If you’re from the USA, google fi is offering the best deal right now. $600 off with no trade in for the s23u. You can add a trade in for additional discount but some phones aren’t worth it especially the s22u which is only being given $250ish but if you add that with the $600, you can consider it a $850 tradein, but I would rather sell the s22u myself for $500+. There are ofcourse some terms you need to follow in order to keep this promotion though. It’s more or less a 4 month “contract” which is at least better than 24 months that major carriers usually do.

Très bon tuto 👍❤️ Le seul intérêt en France avec le S-23 Ultra, c'est le 8 Gen 2, pour le reste c'est une légère évolution. Un peu plus de luminosité, un écran un peu moins incurvé (on remarque à peine la différence), je pense que la différence entre le S-22 Ultra et le S-23 Ultra est même moins flagrante que entre le S-21 Ultra et S-22 Ultra. Je pensais à la disparition du poinçon, un écran plat, le Dolby Vision à la place du HDR 10 Plus (les couleurs du Dolby Vision sont tellement plus belles et naturelles), un zoom optique x15, en définitive, rien de tout ça, juste le 8 Gen 2 qui va normalement donner une autonomie monstre et un smartphone plus rapide (au quotidien, excepté pour les joueurs, la différence sera pas flagrante....)... À moins d'une super promo, cette année je pense pas que je vais remplacer mon S-22 Ultra.

[@zictayprod5561]

Je suis assez d'accord avec toi. Même si je suis assez déçu de ce S22ultra surtout côté autonomie c'est une catastrophe..

[@974dav8]

@@zictayprod5561 J'ai la version européenne du S-22 Ultra (Exynos), je fais beaucoup de photos et surf sur le net et vidéos KZbin. Un premier bon point, il ne chauffe pas, niveau autonomie elle est pas énorme, mais en partant le matin avec une charge à 98%, en fin d'après midi, en arrivant à la maison, il reste 30% d'autonomie. J'ai très rarement de bug, parfois mauvaise accroche réseau Wifi (cela vient de l'appareil) et accroche réseau 4G/ 5G (cela vient de l'opérateur). Il est top en photo jour, tout particulièrement le zoom x1 x3 x10 et assez bluffant en zoom x30, j'ai réussi de bonnes photos de la Lune jour /nuit en zoom x65. Selon mes critères, même si le 8 Gen 2 est une très bonne nouvelle chez nous en Europe (France), même si l'autonomie sera monstre avec ce S-23 Ultra et bien plus puissant, le tarif pour une légère évolution, pas même un Zoom optique x15, excepté le 200 méga-pixels (on se sert déjà rarement du 108 méga-pixels sur le S-22 Ultra), ce S-23 Ultra n'innove pas, et donc je vais zapper cette génération.

No need to run out and buy a new phone based on these presentation videos. We should keep our flagship phones at least 2 to 3 years. So if you bought the S22 last year then you shouldn't upgrade until maybe the S24 or S25 comes out. Not enough significant changes to be running out every year upgrading a phone.

Upgrading from S22U to S23U. Many pics I take with S22U have blown out areas. I'm always needing to manually adjust the pic before shooting and that still isn't guaranteed. I'm more fond of the pixel 7 pro photo results than S22U. Can't wait to get it in 10 days.

[@matrix1169a]

@@beautifullife4924 if you watch some reviews on S22U, there are many that say the pic results have overblown areas. Tap to focus doesn't change any of the exposure shown in the view finder. When I take 7 pro and tap to focus it adjusts to the light. S22U just doesn't so I have to turn down the exposure manually. S22U overall isn't a bad camera it's just not for me. I like the exposure to be balanced. 7 pro is a point and shoot. S22U I may need to take 4 pics to get a pic of what my eyes are seeing. Plus there's shutter lag which creates blurry pics. Glad you're happy with your results.

[@matrix1169a]

@@tulashagautam5027 that comes down to your personal situation. If the pre order deals are to your liking then get it. My gut tells me in 2 months Samsung will give better trade-in deals. If you go through a carrier you can get an excellent deal. I always buy unlocked phones. This year Samsung is stingy with trade-in prices. I thought about waiting but I only paid a tad more for my s22u then what Samsung is giving me for trade-in.

Went from the S22 plus to the S23 ultra. The upgrade is good. The screen of the s23 is much better you no longer have the blue frigging of the side. The cameras are fantastic. My old s22 plus was a european version with exinos so the S23 ultra with qsnapdragon 8 gen 2 feels so much faster. Then another noticeable improvement with the speakers giving a more base and clear sound.

In my opinion.. Speaking abou functionality, it's not that really worth upgrade to S23 Ultra if you was a Note 20/10 user before. Almost 75% things that S23 Ultra offer still capable in the oldest Note series of Samsung. But if you're new Samsung users and want to feel that immersive experience this phone's offer. It's really worth the money😁😁😁

[@UnseenSpirit]

Having seen tests, I'll say it's even worth upgrading from a S22U if you use your phone a lot for photography & gaming. Better screen on time & if in Europe, the new chip means you're not as laggy and if you game, then you can play games with less heat & less load up times. Camera seems upgraded too. People say its not much of an upgrade which is true, but if you're a power user, then it is a good upgrade. To summarise: -Better chip (especially if coming from exynos) - less lag. Quicker if you render videos etc on your phone. Better screen on time (5 hrs 21 for 3d gaming on S22U compared to 7 hrs 13 on the S23U which is a huge difference) -better camera overall - night shots and videos better for gaming - can play highest modes which the S22U can't for PUBG I believe I saw. Load times reduced on S23U and less heat. Less heat should mean longer lasting battery & phone Better speakers - not as tinny & muffled. Louder & more bass Slightly better screen. Same max nits but different panel which looks a bit better
