Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra review

11 February 2023


Sort by:

Ok, I take it back. At first I was annoyed that there is no regular white, but the Cream white on S23 Ultra is pretty. It's not even that much "cream" as it looks more like what I'd describe as "pearl white". I like it very much.

    Tom, 14 Feb 2023I'd say it depends on the feature that gets left out. ... moreCloud storage is very battery consumming, makes the phone more hot and is slow. Cloud storage is really a retrograde to classic memory cards. It is incredibly frustrating that Samsung removed this feature.

Some say lag is entirely from how camera app reacts to touch. By default it's designed to actually capture photo after user presses the SNAP button (on finger lift after the press). Opposed to snapping a photo the moment you touch SNAP button. Then again some say changing photo snapping mode to "Speed" just reverts this control, by snapping photo the moment you touch SNAP button. Some say it achieves this by degrading quality. So many contradicting information one can't even know what's really true.

            I tried the camera and WOW IS IT HORRIBLE. I swear an iphone 8 could beat the main camera. The google pixel is very pleasant and detailed comparitively. This one's main camera is more in line with a low to mid range offering.

                                      I can understand the pain of the haters, as Samsung has made the perfect phone this year.

                                      Some can't just accept the fact that Samsung made the best phone in history and that it hasn't got any weak points. Even GSMArena says it lmao!!! The improvement over the S22 Ultra is enormous. So that's why Samsung haters hate it so much, because it crushes out the chinese garbage brands like Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo... which are inferior in most if not all aspects!!!

                                      Inferior brands can compete for the 2nd and 3rd ranks. As the S23 Ultra is the king of 2023 ;)

I don't see much point in doing this, though. If you want speed, why don't you simply use the 12.5 MP mode? When you use the 200 MP mode, you want maximum quality. Prioritizing speed defeats the purpose. I guess it's useful in case you only want quality a bit higher than that of the 12.5 MP mode. Most people probably don't want a bit of improvement in exchange for a much bigger file size, though.
