I had note 9, and never used stylus. Samsung should make ultra phone, one with stylus,and one without. So we have a choice when buying. And the one without stylus ,put lets say, more battery capacity etc.

No need for social media so that doesn't matter.
I am sure you make some photo's now and then?
If not go with the non ultra.
If calling and wa is really all you do it will be a great upgrate in battery life.
If you act before the end of february you might have some luck with cashback and so on.
Got mine 512gb version for €620 including the fast charger (shame it's not in the box SAMSUNG!).
So I got it for a bargain of the regular price, if that wasn't the case I had to let it be and check out some other phones.
It will arrive today so I am very curious 🙏🏻.

Anonymous, 20 Feb 2023How is your battery life holding after 2years of using the ... moreBuddy, when Xiaomi came with 120W Hyper charging technology they didn't just introduce it immediately, instead the research was conducted and discovered many safety measures that will help to keep your battery safe.
Xiaomi has introduced more than 30 different safety features to it's Fast 120W charging technology, Some of them are
* High temperature charging/ discharging protection in the battery
* Overheating shutdown protection for the circuit
* USB input overcurrent protection in the circuit
* Short circuit protection for both charger and circuit
* Overcurrent protection and overvoltage protection for the charger
*To compensate for the high current too not heat the phone abnormally, Xiaomi placed nine real-time thermal monitoring sensors
* It has TÜV Rheinland Safe Fast-charging system certification to validate the safety of it's Fast charge system after a series of laboratory tests and verification
I have mentioned you only seven features but as I told there are more than 30 features to keep Xiaomi fast charging technology safe. Lol it's hard not to trust over 30 safety features, but if you still don't trust it you may use 50W wireless charger instead that is still faster than Samsung's wired charger 🤣🤣
Xiaomi 13 Pro comes with 4820mAh battery and sadly gsmarena didn't review it, but others did. Web browsing in 30min used just 3%, camera shooting for 30min used only 11%, Online playback for 30min used only 6%, playing PUBG mobile for 30min used only 8%, Genshin Impact for 30min used only 11%, after doing all that the rest is 61% and yet charging only takes 20min. Battery life on Xiaomi is one of the best and the charging speed is amazing😍😍
MIUI is not ugly at all. It's not ugly by any means. On Xiaomi 13 Pro you can remove a lot of bloatware manually if that's not your thing and it's one of the smoothest UI on flagship. Again MIUI is not complicated either, it's just you didn't get used to it. In many aspects it gives you freedom to use it either in Xiaomi style or normal Android style and most prefer Xiaomi style.

Probably battery on the way to smartphone heaven? And I don't know why you need to talk so much about charging. S23 ultra battery life is amazing and I barely need to charge it. 2-3 days easily while scrolling everyday on social media and gaming. By the way MIUI is super ugly and hard to use compared to samsung, their updates are not good too. In our family we have apple, samsung and xiaomi brand phones and most complicated are xiaomi. Lazy updates, often bad updates with bugs. Even apple is easier to navigate for android user than MIUI.

The place with only slight difference, you explain it as if the difference is very huge like millions of miles far far away, not to mention the way you offend the Chinese flagships 🤧🤧
Plus the essay you just wrote, it's characterized with full of hatred.

AnonF-1085071, 20 Feb 2023Keep in mind they're just jealous, either because Sams... moreXiaomi has the smart pen also (Xiaomi Stylus) sold separately yet you say no S Pen competition!
Whether you call USB Type C 2.0 a 1990 technology or whatever but Xiaomi feels nothing like 1990. With it's USB Type C 2.0, still it charges faster than any Samsung phone in the whole wide world 🌎🌎 for example Xiaomi 13 Pro charges fully in only 20 minutes, that feels more than just a flagship. If you need faster file transfer you can use WiFi 6, it's not a must for you to have USB Type C 3.2.
But if that matters much to you Vivo X90 Pro Plus already has the USB Type C 3.2 go n check the specs
Lastly, it's not that people can't afford to buy it, but they try to give out their ideas which they think it's right. This is a tech website, stop being offensive

Anonymous, 19 Feb 2023Your dream will never happen. And no we don't want jok... moreKeep in mind they're just jealous, either because Samsung crushed any single hope of any chinese brand competitor, or either because they can't afford this phone. Well or even both! This Samsung S23 Ultra is by far the king of 2023 and everyone knows it... that's why many are trying so hard to hate this Samsung with false reasons, and it's even funny to watch. :D
It's also hard to be the best in overall, and Samsung is the only brand that has been capable to do that. All chinese brands, for example, fail in some or many important aspects. For example, none of them gives a proper front facing camera, all have laugheable 1080p front cameras.
Some still even use 1990 technology like the obsolete USB 2.0 or barely 2-3x zooms, not a single one supports really Hi-Fi 384kHz audio like this Samsung does, no S-Pen competition, and so on... Samsung offers more quality than anyone else does. And that's undeniable.

I can understand the pain of the haters, as Samsung has made the perfect phone in 2023. 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 staff says it in the review!!!
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 like Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo... which are inferior in most if not all aspects!!! Inferior brands can compete for the 2nd and 3rd ranks. The S23 Ultra is the king of 2023 ;)
Let's compare the Samsung S23 Ultra (king of phones) with the Vivo X90 Pro Plus (they are not even comparable as the S23 Ultra is much better) but it seems that for haters and chinese garbage lovers it's their most beloved phone:
1. Vivo's 1080p 32mpx mediocre front facing camera vs Samsung's 4K HDR10+ front facing camera, which it has half the megapixels but the quality is immensely superior.
2. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 coating on the S23 Ultra vs a fake cheap "leather" coating on the Vivo, without even mentioning how ugly it is with that enormous and bulky circular sensor.
3. The Samsung has a far superior main camera, with 200mpx getting many more details, extremely superior video, extremely superior Dynamic Range, extremely superior exposure, superior night photography and overall color accuracy - the Vivo lacks so much in cameras.
4. Samsung has a proper RAW app that can let you even take astrophotography photos. The video stabilization is on another level. Vivo shakes so much like mid-range phones do.
5. Real x3 and x10 optical zoom, their telephoto lens CRUSH Vivo's mediocre 3.5x zoom.
6. Superior screen with much better calibration and 200 nits superior manual brightness.
7. Much superior sound both with the built-in internal speakers and external BT sound, Vivo allows just 24/192kHz sound, Samsung supports 32/384kHz real Hi-Res audio LOL
7. The Samsung can go up to 1TB of storage, their storage is as well faster.
8. The battery of the Samsung is quite better, having about 20-30% more SoT hours, for the Vivo you need a charger and a nearby plug if you want to use your phone all day long lmao.
9. Samsung's UI is so superior that it's not even worthy to compare them as Vivo gets ashamed, with that crappy Chinese UI, filled with bloatware, extremely late updates, bugs and lots of incompatibilities if you want to use it outside of China, like with Android Auto.
10. Samsung DeX and so many unique features Vivo can only dream about.
11. The ultrasonic fingerprint is actually better on Samsung, Vivo uses the older 2022 version
12. Samsung updates your phone (and fast) for 5 years, Vivo/BBK 2-3 years at most, and they arrive late, even European Oppo's got Android 13 like 3 months after the S23 Ultra lol.
13. Much better future price for the Samsung compared to the Vivo
14. UWB support for the Samsung, 0 for the Vivo
15. 3 sim support for the Samsung, including the modern eSIM = NO from Vivo
16. Superior performance, slightly better processor (clock speed) and faster memory
17. Armored aluminium frame, vs Vivo's cheap and chinese-specifical frame
18. S-Pen on Samsung which opens a new league of capabilities. 0 stylus on Vivo.
19. The Samsung can take extremely good Macro photos up to 1-2cm close to the subject, the Vivo loses it's AF and gets all blurred out if the subject is at 10cm or less. Shameful.
20. Much better build quality, internal quality and a proper QC unlike the Vivo.
And I can continue... Vivo can be okay competing with other inferior chinese brands like Xiaomi or Oppo, but they are so far behind Samsung that trying to compare them just makes it laugheable. These are real life facts. IT'S UNDENIABLE!!!

Tdepp, 19 Feb 2023You seem like taking it personal on behalf of Samsung. Calm... moreSamsung, the N°1 best selling brand in the world over the past 10 years, that sells more than Vivo, Oppo, OnePlus, Huawei and Honor together, that has the only high end non-Apple smartphones in the top 10 premium phones sales, that had the lowest decrease of Android brands sales in 2022, according to you is on the path of Sony going to extinction, right?
Wtf u write lmao it really doesn't even make sense. I smell tons of jealousy of china reps and new accounts coz the S23 Ultra is the king of 2023 and it gave a big slap to all its competitors.
PS: All chinese brands are garbage compared to Samsung!

Anonymous, 19 Feb 2023Do folders also have their original date and time stamps on... moreNo idea about the folders. It's extremely rare that I ever look at a folder on a cell phone. Since the content I need is stored in specific folders. So the only thing I might do is just make sure the content is being uploaded. Since any app I use on the phone just accesses the content it needs.
