By using your logic, a student who has the highest overall scores isn't the best student because there is another student who has a higher score than him in PE, for example.

The Nubia is cheaper but also worse in many ways, the Huawei has decent cameras, but is lacking Google Services and the iPhone is even more expensive with an arguably much weaker camera.

The con is the price. Seriously, how could you overlook that?

Highly disagree on the closing statement, that the s22 ultra was too good. My s22 ultra which i upgraded to from my s10+ was probably one of the worst phones ever. If you gave me that phone and asked me about the price I would associate with the experience it provided, I would not have even given it £500. My dad's s21+ was 10x smoother, battery lasting 2 days easily for him and sure its a case of usage, but even standby times were vastly different. The s23 ultra is what the s22 ultra was supposed to be because it is no longer played by that dog of an exynos processor. Both me and my friend had identical experiences with the s22 ultra, I got the s23 and 1 week later i have absolutely 0 complaints, it is the perfect phone so far while my s22 ultra I was unhappy with stutter and lag within probably 30s of unboxing it.

Ravuh, 15 Feb 2023Best in how? Its CPU is slower than iPhone 14 pro. Not the ... moreWhy people here keep doing this nonsense. Picking and choosing different parts of "this is best" and comparing it to something. Ok, so individual phones have single thing better than Galaxy S23 Ultra (or iPhone 14 Pro Max). But show me phones that have at least 3/4 of things better than mentioned 2 flagships? If we just mention software support, 99% of the competition falls flat on its face, or they have exceptional chipset performance at expense of active fan cooling which ruins water resistance entirely and is terrible for dust collection from pockets. Or they just have rubbish cameras. It's always something. Galaxy S phones or iPhones generally don't have such issues, but people so furiously try to ignore that fact. It's also why they cost so much, because they are great almost across the board unlike all the cheaper Chinese options that always have just something that's weird, bad or annoying. Poor software support being almost universal issue across all of them.

Sure, the camera or battery may not be THE best, but they're not far off. Judging by most reviews, the S23U seems like the best all-rounder.

Not the best price for SD8 gen 2 phone that goes to ZTE nubia z50. Not the best camera that goes to huawei mate 50 pro. Not the best battery life in terms of real life usage that goes to iPhone 14 pro max. So again, best in how exactly?

Compared dis phone which a Fri of mine let me borrow for a while with my 12tpro and definitely Xiaomi did a better jop starting from white balance which is really accurate on the xiaomi the Samsung act like it doesn't know what to do giving out an orange cast, what pains me the most is the fact that some bias YouTubers are kissing Samsung's ass and not mentioning this but thanks to ice universe for revelling this. People where like"Xiaomi is good but give it to Samsung and u'll see the real potential of this 200mp sensor" now Samsung has it and has made a terrible camera phone than the 12tpro I just hope someone does a genuine comparison btw them so Scamsung fanboys can keep quiet same was said about 13pro performance in gaming surpassing all 8gen2 phones and fanboys were like" wait for Samsung's overclock 8gen2 and u'll see" well Samsung has also prove them wrong. I know many will not like what am saying but read it over and over again and ask urself is Samsung right I mean the so called bloatware in xiaomi and other phones are making their way to one UI 5.1 and am surprised to see some fools actually boasting about these features, the same features they called bloatware what a world

Of course. So they could have used a bigger sensor size on the main lense and as usual no real upgrades to the other sensors or lenses....
Wow....over 4 years later they finally go back to 256 base but still not 12 ram base....
Somehow I feel the s24 won't move a revolution either but people that finally took the dive on the 23 are going to miss out on something with the 24. Besides a faster chip or higher mp main camera.

No one in Europe or India should buy Samsung till they respect us. In USA it is 20/30% cheaper. Before they did the stupid same price in €/USD, and now they do even cheaper in USD. No sense. (and for years we got worse chip)

Anonymous, 14 Feb 2023Battery life performance has improved a lot. Can any expert... moreYou don't need to be an expert to notice that the screen of the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a lower resolution. The resolution difference is about 23%. The iPhone 14 Pro Max also has a very slightly smaller screen. And obviously, the SoCs and OSes are different.

Anonymous, 14 Feb 2023Well actually that is what happens. But the downscaling doe... moreNo. Because to record 8K from higher resolution, the higher resolution video mode needs to be supported as well.
You cant downscale 10K to 8K unless hardware can record 10K for example.

Anonymous, 13 Feb 2023Obviously, no 4:3 ratio sensor can be used fully for video... moreWell actually that is what happens. But the downscaling does not happen from the full sensor width, but from a cropped region roughly 12900 pixels wide.
So probably 8k and 4k Video are both downscaled from a 12900x7256 sensor pixels.
The resolution might be different from 8k to 4k, due to the different sensor readout modi using pixel binning.
