This is the best deal in tech right now.

How this thing is so cheap I will never know. You are getting 90% of the latest tech (bar perhaps the AI stuff) for half the price of the newest version. It has a crazy display, brilliant performance, a crazy powerful camera, and all the bells and whistles of a premium smartphone in 2024. This is the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra long-term review in 2024.

S23 ultra 512g here. Novelty hasn't worn off at all. Absolutely flawless device. Everything is still swiss army box office! Nothing worthwhile upgrading for...

[@GoogleGiveMebackmyname]

Such a beast of a device, I don't think I'll be upgrading anytime soon

[@magicfragrances]

Same here, I might try out Iphone SE4 when it gets out, only to have a smaller phone in pocket sometimes, and to have airdrop from my mac to phone so I can upload social media videos and photos for my brand. Also, I like seeing that Apple will finally give more than a decent phone as a SE model.

[@Joeeye123]

Kinda wish I kept my S23 Ultra 1TB but it was a great price on trade in for my S24 Ultra, so I couldn't resist. No regrets, but both phones, my S24 Ultra 1TB is a great phone, literally the S23 Ultra with some small improvements (like every year I guess). The anti glare and flat screen compared to the S23 Ultra are both welcomed changes that I prefer.

[@Facu1ty1855]

@Joeeye123 I did have a good look at the S24 ultra and liked it. But even till now, do not feel it's worth spending any money on, even with a good trade deal. The flatter screen and anti glare just isn't worth losing the S23 ultra masterpiece and some money for. It really isn't. Tbh, the slight curve on the S23 ultra is no issue at all. Not intrusive. I don't mind flat or curved. Both have their qualities. I actually miss the designs of the S10 models. I had the S105g. Still to this day, think it was Samsungs best ever designs. So good in the hand.

[@semperer]

i will upgrade just because of the curved screen.. dont want it cuz there is no way to have good screene protector

[@carlos53k]

You won't believe me but I prefer the S23 Ultra over the S24 Ultra. The camera difference is so minor like you mentioned. I might get a photo here and there that I might prefer only I mean only if I put them side to side and stare close. But I love the photos on the S23 Ultra. Second is the weight of the 2. The S23 Ultra is lighter, I know it's not much on paper but the weight distribution I'm guessing is noticeable in hand. The battery life was so much better on the S24 ultra in the begining but after the updates I don't know what happened that it's actually worse than my S23 Ultra. So I'm very happy with the S23 Ultra and it's currently my main phone with no regrets.

[@theryanthomas]

Yep. Fully agree with you I prefer it to the new one!

[@savagewrld4L]

They slowly turning to iphone 😢

[@MuhammadFirdaus-wo6mz]

Shouldn't the 24u be lighter because of the titanium used instead? Thought that was the selling point of the newer one. Tho same here its a stupid good value getting it used, got it for the camera as well.

[@carlos53k]

@@MuhammadFirdaus-wo6mz it's not lighter, it's a super tad heavier if you look at the spec sheet. It feels heavier and it might be in the distribution of the components. I use my phone a lot with one hand and I know when I'm using the S24 Ultra. If anything the titanium just makes the phone stronger.

[@chigginskeywest]

I'm using S23 Ultra now. My S24 Ultra sits in the box. Why ? Because it's the same phone.

[@matt-dw]

This is absolutely the right idea. I'm using a oneplus 8 since June 2020, just got the battery replaced last week, and it still does everything a user of a £1300 phone would want to do on their phone daily at 1/10th of the price if bought today. I'm well aware it's objectively inferior to current flagships but it still flies through modern apps, battery lasts almost 2 days, display looks pristine and magnificent, plenty of storage available, so there's really nothing to upgrade for other than being stuck on android 13 with April 2024 security patch for the rest of its life. The phone's a masterpiece. I'd love to custom rom it but I don't want to risk bricking a perfectly good phone or losing payment and banking features.

[@ThatYahoo]

You can still use your banking apps if you also root the phone. As someone who custom roms devices, it is difficult to brick it volontarily unless your cable connection to your computer is trash.

[@ejcubing3622]

OnePlus 12R owner here, I'm using custom rom on it without any issues with banking apps.

[@ThatYahoo]

@@ejcubing3622 I wish back in 2022 I decided to take a OnePlus 7 instead of an A51. I also wish if Samsung was not too strict with their american phones having unlockable bootloaders in the way that it's impossible to unlock it. The OnePlus 12R is quite a new and an amazing flagship phone

[@jedimastu]

Fellow one plus 8 user 🤝

[@underratedphonker6395]

OnePlus phones are made with Custom ROMs in mind. You will not lose access to banking, I guarantee. I have been using a Nothing Phone 2 for the past 6 months, got a "custom" ROM on it (I wiped the original rom for a custom then got back and the phone thinks it is a custom one) and while rooted I can use banking and all that stuff. I rooted it after my switch, because the banking apps thought I had a custom ROM. KernelSU is the best way to root a phone. Do some research, keep exploring, flash a ROM and be happy, brother. Trust me, you will thank me later.

[@gamingtechandbeyond]

In my opinion it is a great value, but, I had the S22 Ultra and the main 2 reasons I upgraded to the S24 Ultra was the flat display and more storage than what I had. I like to keep my phones in pristine condition for years to come, and tempered glass screen protectors are a nightmare on curved displays. Soon the S24 Ultra will go down on price cause of the S25 Ultra in January. If I was on the market for an S23 Ultra now, I would wait a couple of months for the S24 Ultra to come down in price.

[@dreamingthelife]

Exactly, screen Protectors and replacement is much better with a flat screen and flat screen is the main reason I got the phone, I'd been wanting Samsung to go back to flat for years

[@aditya_on_youtube]

I agree that flat screens are better when it comes to screen protectors. But with a wide phone like the S23 Ultra, it makes the phone so much nice to hold. I went to the Samsung store to check the S24 Ultra and compared to S23 Ultra. The S23 Ultra definitely felt more premium. I got the S23 Ultra at a huge discount last week for the equivalent of 650 pounds on Amazon India, brand new 256GB 12 gigs model. The reason for considering the S24 Ultra was the new anti reflective screen and 7 yrs of updates. With a screen protector the anti reflective properties become moot.

[@gamingtechandbeyond]

@aditya_on_youtube I can respect that. But to each their own. Like I said I personally had the S22 Ultra with a curved edge display same as the S23 Ultra, and one of the main reasons I upgraded was the flat display. I don't miss the curved display. I hated it back on the Galaxy S8, I hated it on the S22 Ultra. I prefer flat displays. But like I said to each their own. If you love it, great. I just don't.

[@dreamingthelife]

@@gamingtechandbeyond I also prefer watching videos without the distortion of the cure and it's easier to hold the phone one handed for taking photos without having to manage not touching the screen I agree it looks cool, maybe if Moto makes a good Edge phone those who like the old Ultras can buy that

[@aditya_on_youtube]

@@dreamingthelife The S23 Ultra's display is so slightly curved that you almost never notice the distortion. Moto's edge series and earlier Samsung phones were much more aggressively curved and caused accidental touches and said distortion.

[@richardgoed8101]

The "curved" screen is such a deal breaker for me as it is hard to apply additional protector, and if the phone accidentally fell into the side it would break the whole screen and might render it unusable. But let's be real less than 700$ for a S23 ultra is such a steal, it's hard to ignore for whoever wanted to experience flagship Samsung phones.

[@LukaCuturic]

I dropped mine countless times and only the back glass cracked a little, without using a case and screen protector

[@jedimastu]

Never heard of liquid glass?

[@miked5444]

Same not a fan. Made that mistake twice not gonna do it again.

[@ilaserbia]

S24 Ultra has 7 years of SW support which means that the same thing could be said next year for it when it will still be supported for another 6 years for a lesser price. Now that will be a great deal.

[@jafar_u]

In middle Asia, particularly in Uzbekistan, I bought it brand new for 750$ a month ago (12gb ram/256), while s24 ultra was starting at 910$. This is insane, considering in Germany where I study, s23 ultra still costs 1000€.

[@philistinetoad]

Wow.

[@sbbillusionist]

FYI, a bit late but Samsung had a sale around last month where they were selling S24 Ultra for around 750$. At that price I think S24 Ultra makes more sense.

[@theryanthomas]

That is a pretty insane deal. Not sure we had that deal over here in UK!

[@ivar817]

Maybe last Friday of November

[@tamwilfred]

Do you mean with a trade-in? I believe most deals could reduce the price to around $750 with a trade-in. I traded in my Note 20 Ultra during their pre-order sale, which decreased the price to $599 before taxes, and $730 after taxes. Additionally, I received a case, screen protector, and Buds Pro 2 for free with my order. I also got the free storage upgrade to 512GB.

[@sbbillusionist]

@@tamwilfred No, without a trade in. S24 Ultra was for 780 and I got a fold 6 1tb for 1200 wich was 2400 originally

[@tamwilfred]

@@sbbillusionist Interesting. What country do you live in? Was it a carrier deal? where did you get your s24 Ultra?

Will get the S24U when the S25 series gets launched. with 7yrs of update, it will be a better choice plus no curved screen.

[@oneminutewonder77]

Honestly the amount of phone you can get from a flagship that comes out last year is pretty crazy.

[@BWM135]

You're more right than you know. We are at a point where there isn't that much change year to year. I've even bought two year old flagships for 2 or $300 that are plenty fast and powerful for daily typical use. I'm really not a fan of buying second-hand though. Nobody's going to take better care of a phone than I am. So I'd much rather buy new, once you get into outdated models the premium isn't that significant anyway. The problem with a phone like the 23 ultra even when he made this video is those phones or desirable new, and were still desirable a year later. In the United States sellers know this and price their used models accordingly, to the point it doesn't make any sense to me to pay 5 or 600 bucks for a used one, especially with s24 Ultras now down around 900 for a brand new one in the box. Also, we don't know what's going to happen with Samsung ai and the rumors of monthly charges tab access to those features and keep the phone you know running as it is.

[@Uncle_Drew0227]

Yo, I'm still rocking the S23 Ultra, and it's still a beast! It handles everything I throw at it, from gaming to heavy usage. The cameras are dope, and the battery life is still going strong. I'm gonna keep this bad boy until it can't keep up anymore.

Even though it's risky buying a used foldable, the Flip series can be bought for relatively cheap compared to other used phones. I got a Flip4 256GB for about $280 back in January. The screen on it had obviously been replaced, but it started fracturing only about 3 months into using it 😭. It still works with no dead pixels or screen issues, but for those who want a cheap foldable and acknowledge the risk, they're pretty cheap.

The great thing about this phone as a second-hand purchase is the ability to easily replace the battery for an original new one for quite cheap and then you basically have a brand new flagship for an amazing price.

[@lepyti]

Samsung really peaked with the s23u!

[@ensom]

i'm still rocking my s23 ultra. the only thing i'd change on the s23 ultra is i would like the flat display with improved scratch resistance from the s24u. but i actually prefer the camera config & the SD8 gen 2 on the s23 ultra, it's more power efficient. the sd8 gen 3 can peak higher in performance but it produces more heat and gets throttled more, so is less consistent. for the price difference the s24u is not worth the "upgrade" imo, even though i would MUCH prefer a flat display. i won't be upgrading to any new samsung phones until they use a display without PWM or at least 1900+ hz PWM. the low frequency PWM displays give me headaches. if samsung doesn't get with the program and ditch the low PWM i might eventually switch to one of the oneplus phones instead.

Giffgaff are doing 512GB ones for £499 in "good" condition. I bought one a few months ago and it was literally as-new. Still has the plastic stickers on it. No need to spend extra on their so-called better condition ones. If you do end up a dud returns are free. It's definitely the way to go buying last year's flagship. There's so little difference from year to year now that you get way more value for money.

[@FLO82FLO]

those corners hurt my hand

[@alexisaguirrevazquez7900]

I reviewed the s23 ultra and I was also very impressed by how it holds up over a year later. I even said the recommended devices to have a good 2024/2025 Samsung flagships experience is the s23 lineup.

[@Falco95]

My main device is actually a S23 ultra, 256gb. It's just awesome, great design with the display curves and all. I have no plans to replace it because it's perfect for me and I prefer this over the S24 ultra as well.

[@infamousX]

Absolutely true! If you're OK with huge phones this the best deal! In my country you can get one used in almost perfect condition for 450 Euro which i think is a great bargain. Unfortunately i can't stand huge phones and i got myself the normal S23 used in perfect condition for 300 Euro, which is also a great deal in my opinion, because S24 in EU comes with Exynos and is almost twice the price even used (for now).

[@connorburke5761]

The S23 Ultra is a fantastic phone, which I had for about a year. Its super fast, has great battery life, and its cameras (including its 200mp mode) are incredible and took about 70gb of amazing photos during a trip to Italy. But I think the extra 3 years of support for the s24 ultra, along with its arguably more useful 5x lens (though to be fair I didn't know that the difference at 100x was that different. I thought at worst it was marginally worse at 100x and equal between 10-50x) and more durable chassis + overall much more efficient processor and longer lasting battery do make it a worthy upgrade, especially since it's also dropped below $900 USD in recent times. I don't have the S24 Ultra, but I wanted to get it soon (until the Vivo x200 Pro/Mini came out, now I may want to import one of those instead - absolutely incredible phone). The S23 Ultra was definitely better than my replacement Pixel 8 Pro though aside from hand feel. The software additions (pretty much just the fixed AOD) and the even bezels would be enough for me to want to upgrade, but I'm just weird like that

[@daisuke_soraichi]

In my country , it's not , it's hella expensive so NO !

[@nagylevi3827]

Let's not forget the supposed QC issues of the S24U, especially as regards the display, which makes this even more desirable a choice.

[@cruzdesangre2850]

Honestly I think the S24 Ultra will be a way better option, of course after the S25 Ultra comes out and the price drops. It has a flat screen and an anti-reflective coating, a better chipset (which means more battery, as the phone needs less power to run at a good speed) and 7 years of OS updates instead of 4.

[@aks13v35]

Even a better deal. Galaxy s23+

[@Doc_Raphy]

+1 on this. If you don't need the 100x zoom and prefer a slightly smaller form factor, the S23+ is a better deal. I only went with the Ultra because I can justify the need of a good zoom lens during professional convention lectures.

[@Rizwaan122]

I've thought the 23 line was better than the s24 series from day 1. On launch I saw loads of people on reddit complaining about the display on the 24 ultra. From the vibrancy to other issues people didn't like it. And then from the camera samples I saw the 24 ultra (and the plus) seemed noisier to me than the 23 ultra (and plus).

[@cvc778]

Thanks for taking the time and giving us those good points in regards to this phone, sir Also, seems you are a pokemon trainer

[@notingwrong]

One thing to note for users who might want to buy this phone is to be aware all the previous high end S series(S22 ultra, 21ultra and further) have major greenline issue which appears out of nowhere. One of my friend S21 ultra get Green Line despite him being gentle with the phone. So If you buy Second make sure to consider the unseen cost of the screen replacement due to the Green Line issue. I'm not saying S23 ultra will get green line but be aware since Samsung haven't fixed or offer some sorts of replacement to existing users with that issue. Even Oneplus acknowledge this issue and offer free-of-charge services in many regions.

[@ano2lokmo]

I love the flat display and the anti glare

[@iq8780]

From S23U, been 2 weeks using S24U and I must say S24U fluidity is musg better. Camera is thesame in everyday use. The main difference is the 5G compatability. My S23U can go allway True 5G in my common areas, but S24U struggles and opts to use 5G/LTE which is a slower. Still, would prefer S24U than S23U.

[@taxa1569]

This may actually be a feature on the s24. Haven't had a Samsung in years but Adaptive 5G is a thing. When not using a lot of bandwidth the phone opts to use less power by switching off 5G. I'm surprised the s23 ultra you had DIDN'T have it. Did you keep up with updates?

Took the thing off and after two months I have a small groove in my screen. I'm now using a shitty hydrogel while I wait before hopefully not wasting 20 bucks for a third attempt. Avoid curved screens at all costs

Fold 2 is best. Bought it for 300 dollars in October of 2023. I'm happy with it

Also s23 ultra 512gb here. I will use this phone until its final breath. Its just the best phone ive ever had. And ive had a lot.

[@Damsak_7]

The S23 Ultra or Oneplus 12 which is better value for money?

[@SupremeLordEnki]

s23

[@memastir]

depends on prices and your taste

[@nimmy404]

Both have 4 years OS, 5 years security so honestly get whatever is cheaper for you, in the UK they're quite similar priced but s23 used is cheaper

[@nimmy404]

Or wait till s25, to get the s24 and enjoy 7 years support

[@starksuman]

In my country u can get the s23 ultra for like 80000inr in recent sale which is like 950USD crazy and its brand new too, u can get even cheaper in local stores if u can bargain.

[@YISTECH]

You can get the S24U for 98k to a lakh13.

[@starksuman]

@@YISTECH yes even cheaper in local Store, one of my friend bought s24u for 89k

I had an S22 Ultra. It was mostly great, but too large for comfort in the pocket. Too heavy to comfortably carry while running. Replaced it with an S24. Other than being the perfect size, it is a little bit worse in every way. And the flat screen, that is a lot better than the curved edges on every Samsung flagship since the S7. Whoever decided to keep using curved edge displays for so many generations needs to be flogged. Impossible to use without a case.

[@dormamo6917]

I'm using s22U and still kicking asses.

[@Bets0n]

Curved screen is definitely a no no for me, fitting glass falls off easier, causes more friction with back cover, then glue under curves catches a lot of dirt and glass screen protectors are better than any film.

[@RennieAsh]

I just don't use a screen protector on them

[@browski7655]

I miss the S10/Note10 series those where curved all around like hand-friendly nice flat pebbles.

[@redstang70]

Had the 23 and 24 ultra both from launch ..still have the 23 ultra😊

[@k.m.abdullah5631]

Where do you get your wallpapers from?

[@plainrock124teacher5]

I got a S22 ultra 512gb of storage in April on ebay excellent condition for 550 and fir the same price i could have gotten a base model S23 ultra on eBay but i needed 512 from my old s10 plus with a 256 sd card and 128 storage, and im happy with my S22

[@ricardoantoniogonzalez9724]

note 20 a most recent flagship for 200-250 dollars

[@adan_wario]

I think apart from the flat screen, there's no major difference that justifies the double price tag. I've had the not 8 for a while, still went strong. S23 processor is still God for the next 4 years. Save you money, buy some phone lenses and go on a photography trip.

[@lukacalic1003]

this video will have a lot more sense in the future, this is still a killer phone, only a year old.

[@SupremeNoble]

what golf game is that???

[@ianvincent6670]

Green line not yet fixed though

[@Scottbutcher7]

Im getting a used s24u soon. I was going to get an s23u but for some reason, the s24u is barely more expensive to buy used. And i want the flat screen. I really dislike the curved sides on my current phone screen.
