[@brianoh8192]

This is one of the most underrated useful things when it comes to mobile gaming!!

[@TristanIRL]

​​@@Unknowner291 should be on all galaxy phones if i recall correctly. also, it will only show as an option in game booster, if you have fast charge. if you don't, it won't show as an option, but your phone will just not charge. i got this on my s23u, and did some sweaty ranked games on wildrift for 2hrs on the highest settings. i can feel the chip get warmer, but the battery stayed the same temp, and stayed ad 48% the whole time. and i didn't experience any drops in fps. honestly my preferred way of gaming now. the battery tends to heat up rather quick when gaming while not plugged in, which leads to performance loss.

[@ChrisBartlett]

I've had the 512gb S23 Ultra since launch. I had used the pixel 7 Pro prior and have an iPhone 14 Pro as well, but neither come close to the S23 Ultra. Performance has been outstanding, cameras are great and I enjoy One UI more than any other OS. I prefer Samsung's apps in many cases so I use a combo of those and Google's. Combine all that with the amazing SPen and I'm very satisfied with the device despite the large price tag. Even that wasnt bad with the generous trade in at launch.

[@soul-the_argonaut5211]

I feel like a lot of preference is used when talking about the software but performance wise... You notice the difference in long term use. S23u really holds its battery power through vigorous usage👌🏽

[@ChrisBartlett]

@@soul-the_argonaut5211 agreed. Definitely a preference. I totally understand if someone prefers the Pixel experience or iOS. Use what works for you. They are good performance wise too. I just notice more issues with iOS the last few years than I do with the other OS. Even that is just my experience. Someone else may have a different experience. Can't go wrong with any of these devices these days.

Its smooth, fast and leaves no stones unturned. The experience is just unparalleled.

[@jordanjackson8873]

​@midomattar837 z fold 4 is okay it just doesn't really compare to the fold 5 in form factor, and the cameras aren't as good either. The s23 series might have better hardware, tbh while the fold offers a bit more finesse with the one ui capabilities.

[@emmanuelbraimoh8285]

Got the 512GB of the Ultra and it is the best phone I have ever used. Extremely amazing and has never hung up on me. My favourite feature is the fact that when gaming, you can connect your phone to your charger and the power from the charger would stop charging the battery and power the phone instead, reducing temperature on the phone and increasing performance. That blew my mind. Love it

[@M_Hass]

[@bulotazzz]

[@johnbradshaw5900]

I am not really interested in phones but got this for two reasons. The first is I am interested in wildlife and aviation photography and travel a lot. The S23 ultra has genuinely good telephoto capabilities and has allowed me to capture loads of shots I would otherwise have missed through not carrying my mirror less camera. The camera is superb and really is very good for telephoto use, not just good 'for a phone ' but properly good. The second is the pen which I find incredibly useful. Battery life is great and the screen is fantastic. However most of what it can do is way over my head. Expensive, but excellent.

[@philipperostin]

WTF buy a fucking camera if its all what you need !

[@Megan-z9i]

Had the iPhone 12, but I’ve decided to train this in for a massive change. I’ve never been with android , but definitely love the look and interior factors of this phone. With the insane night vision and so on, I also have seen gameplay. And it’s insane! Definitely can’t wait to hear a knock at the door with the phone there . Pretty excited.

[@maggieklatt7912]

I've had my Samsung Galaxy S9+ for 5 or 6 years now and that is from having an iPhone 6. I use to have all Apple products as their "ecosystem", if you will, requires it. Since switching to all Android products it stuns me that people still love Apple products. Android is more superior in regards to versatility of OS and also pairing product options. I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and can't wait. My phone company, for early Boxing Day sale, is paying $800.00 of new phone and when checking out the iPhone 15 Pro Max they had almost no sale coverage. I'm not hating on Apple products I just don't get the hype. Yes, 10-15 years ago they were the obvious go too but now Android seems better and seems to have better sales. Thank-you for your review!

[@Buffinator1988]

Just get a screen protector. I have this phone and it's great... But the screen does pick-up micro scratches really easily. I think the gorilla glass is very shatter proof, but at the expense of being slightly softer, which makes it prone to light scratches. Samsung should ship this from the factory with a protector applied like some other manufacturers are doing.

@@brainloop99 and last years victus one was supposed to be the bees knees , but one of the reviewers on camera dropped his 22 ultra on his table from 12 inches high on the curved display and it cracked , and the commenter is right , being more shatter resistant does make them more pliable in a drop but softer for scratches.

[@raiyanzarif591]

Great review! There's one thing I don't understand. Google wallet doesn't even exist in my country, and google pay is far worse than Samsung pay or apple pay. Plus, having Bixby means Samsung can implement it's own call screening feature (something google only keeps exclusive to pixel) and modes and routines. SmartThing app is absolutely essential if you're into the Samsung ecosystem (which is the best in terms of versatility). Galaxy store, albeit a bit unnecessary, still has useful stuff like theme pack. I don't understand why reviewers absolutely loathe Samsung giving us these services.

I have the green S23U 257gb; fantastic phone, paired with my Galaxy Watch 5, I’ve enjoyed it immensely. Would I use it as my daily driver? No, but it’s the closest I’d turn to android from my iPhone. Nice job Samsung

[@ivanpetrov7379]

You mind shearing what do you use as daily driver over the s23 ultra and why ?

[@superiortoall22]

@@ivanpetrov7379 I use an iPhone 14 Pro Max as my daily driver. Couple reasons, the first is that I’m American so texting is the main source of communication and unfortunately traditional SMS falls far short of iMessage in terms of functionality; if I was anywhere else and using third party messaging apps then I’d use the S23U as my daily driver. Second would be ecosystem; I have both ecosystems for both phones, in fact I have a lot more devices for Samsung than I do my Apple stuff, however I find that my Apple ecosystem works a smidge smoother and offers more options for app support. Last would be the camera and video; S23U takes some amazing photos but the downside, even with the newest update would be the shutter lag. I have a new baby and taking photos with the S23U I found that with a squirming baby, I got a lot of blurry photos, with iPhone, it’s not 100% but I get photos I want the first time. Video on iPhone is still king too, I prefer the video over S23U, even with the 8K which you can only use if you’re sitting still (any movement kind of just distorts it). If I was anywhere else besides the US for vacay or work my number one choice would be the S23U, so definitely based on location rather than which phone is better.

[@MetaDataAutomation]

@@superiortoall22 I'm curious about the iMessage comments. I live in Australia so maybe it's just not something that is over here, but what really is the difference? I had a iPhone before upgrade the this one, and I don't notice anything different about sending messages from either phone? Probably the only thing I will say is if you send pics in iMessage I think they stay as high res - but andiod the quality of pics goes to shit... But I don't really go sending photos over sms that much and just use FB messenger if I do

[@kma86]

On most reviews, or even all of the once that I’ve came across for that matter - I can see in the comments that people made a cross from iOS to Android because of the S23 Ultra. Ironically, I made the switch as well without really knowing the true potential of the phone or to even know that it was THAT good to begin with, because honestly it was an impulse buy after playing around with the phone’s camera at a tech store 😂. I said to my wife, “wow honey, look how powerful this camera is!” lol. It felt like I jumped ship just at the right moment, to a great phone. Greater specs, and most importantly- finally, better projection for software updates. Nothing against iOS though as I find the app support - although costly if compared to Android, is much better. For example, the Document app by Readdle at the moment is only exclusively for iOS and I’m gonna miss it a lot. And I miss iMovie. But for someone who has been an iSheep for years, not wanting to consider Android anymore even once, this is a surprising shift even for myself 😂.

Thin and light phones with big screens are so underappreciated. We have the Xiaomi 11 lite and it's simply amazing. You can't tell it's in your pocket. It's 158 grams of high performance. Realme has some that are around 170 grams and Motorola has one that is around the same as the 11 lite. It's a market that hasn't taken off and that's a shame. I have a Realme GT2 PRO and at 189 grams it feels like a tank in the pocket compared to the 11 lite. I don't know how people go around with a 250-330 gram device in their pocket. Insane.

Got the Phantom Black 1 TB model, and I absolutely love it. Best phone I've had in years 👌

[@robertparker4409]

I got mine and despite the AI advances in the S24U I 'm holding on to my S23U.

[@camotech1314]

I chose to get a red S23U over spending more on an S24U, even though I would enjoy having a glass screen protector.

[@IanG666]

Love my Green S23U 512Gb and perfomance was a big step up from the S22U I had. Battery life is epic

[@miroslavfreerider3439]

Do you installed the updates? I updated 2 and battery dies so quick. Losing 30% in 1h30

[@IanG666]

@@miroslavfreerider3439 Fully updated and battery life is still fine. Might be worth trying a full reset of your phone then if still the same speak to where you bought it as it could be faulty?

[@miroslavfreerider3439]

@Ian Gillespie Thank you for answer 🙏

[@outrospection4all]

Love your reviews!

[@ismailomyma835]

what about the pen ? for what uses?

[@gh-vi9tk]

The jewel in the crown 😉

[@ralpha1]

Why are flagship phones have weak front facing cameras ??

[@YerStewpid]

I cannot with the anime girl on the Lock Screen in the thumbnail 😭

[@AverageSensei]

6:23 yeah... Lost mine on the first 3 days of having it, I was sketching a blueprint for one of my projects while at a Starbucks and I remember going to the bathroom and then heading home, then 15 minutes later notice the pen icon in the notification bar. I went back but it was gone. So I bought a new one and now I have the setting were it reminds you that the s pen is not in the phone. Also I had one of the exclusive colors vit they don't have s pen replacements for those colors so my black s pen stands out on my red phone.

[@hokhenglee3200]

I haven't an issue when taking a picture infront of the computer screen, the image seems to be blurred. Have you ever experienced it or known how to fix it. Really appreciate your help.

[@pijen]

S Pen is a godsend if you do image cropping and video trimming on your phone on a daily basis

[@AOE2BestClips]

Hey can you elaborate on this workflow please? What apps/moves u use

[@ryanmccormick2150]

I've had flagship phones for years, last week after seeing your review on the OnePlus ce3 light so I bought one ( the green one obviously) and it's fantastic...... I'll never buy a flagship again absolutely no point in them. Love your channel love from good old Newcastle upon Tyne💪

[@wiredspeaker5658]

Yup, The most I've spent on a device has been $580 for a Realme GT2 PRO. I also picked up a Google Pixel 7 for dirt cheap as a work phone and backup. 2 great phones for less than 1 flagship.

[@graviti4free]

Upgraded from Galaxy Note 9, beautiful device! The only gripe is changing the position of volume and spen

[@pokemonlifetcg]

got mine on order after braking the s22 ultra cant wait

[@JackyThamGK]

1:58 where u get the Ruby wallpaper??? i need those cool things too! 🤔🤔🤙🤙

[@JOE180360]

I am not as as lucky. Got the S23 ultra and my battery life has not been amazing. I tried everything even getting a replacement from Samsung. Anybody else have battery life problems?

[@xxyyxx2861]

Light profile, Ram plus off, aod off, put unused apps to deep sleep, remove bloat, turn adaptive brightness off, if you used smart switch then reset and transfer files via usb

[@dalesheldoniii7451]

What's the app u said to add for the Samsung camera I can't find it

[@edgardumea]

how about more details on the fingerprint scanner? i had nothing but trouble with the s21's ultra performance for reading my damn fingers and forgetting them on occasion. How's the s23 on this part?

[@adamski101]

It's pony. I hate it. Works maybe 4 out of 10 times for me.

[@Kenji_sato]

Best phone I ever owned. I love the lavender color.

[@coxb29]

Samsung and Google really need to team up again and create a Galaxy Ultra Google Edition device and bring the best of both OEM's to devices.

[@mjjones1045]

Google's software is always buggy now. Samsung is okay on their own

[@klabauther]

The price is a distraction from the physical size and weight. All the time I was contemplating "Do I want to pay more to get 10x optical zoom?" when in fact the real question would be "Do I want 10x optical zoom, OR do I want to take quick shots with one hand?"

[@rezashamsi2844]

Dude, where do u get those wallpapers from?

[@jtliew583]

is the PWM of S23 ultra really 240hz?

[@philipanderson9434]

You do the best reviews ever.

[@glenyshanlon5112]

Was thinking of getting one sounds like i just made my mind up looks and sounds Amazing phone great review 👌

[@bentreath416]

I'm hopefully going to get one at the end of September

[@Coldish_look937]

I ought to find where you live for disrespecting my mother

[@camotech1314]

I'd like to see that

[@PaulfromMNL]

love you chris! thank you for this
