234 grams for a smartphone is too much. When you add a case it adds up 20 grams for the thinnest cases up to 40-50 grams for the thick ones. That is too much. The hand will have a pain if it has to work with that for a whole day

Snapdragon 8 gen 2 is an overclocked version and they replaced the onboard security with their own Samsung Knox tech.

Superb phone but:
1. No emergency SMS service via satellite like iPhone 14
2. Even more costly
3. 1750 peak brightness is the same as S22 Ultra
Pro: Snapdragon for all customers

when comparing s23 ultra with s22 ultra here on gsmarena, you can see that s22 ultra has 15W wireless charging while the new "improved" s23 ultra has only 10W wireless charging.
why?

Seems to be more of an iterative upgrade than anything, but it's still good to see most of aspects that needed an upgrade being upgraded. For me personally, S21 Ultra is still the gold standard for maintaining a solid balance.
Though there are aspects of S23 Ultra that could have been better:
It's high time they bumped the Refresh Rate to atleast 144Hz, if not for 165Hz.
I hope the change from 40 MP to now 12MP Front Camera doesn't negatively impact the quality of Selfies and is actually better optimised.
The charging speed should have been 65W (safe balance) at the bare minimum and the Charger should, I repeat, should be provided in the box. I don't care too much about wireless charging.
The design seems to be visually identical. I guess, why fix it when it ain't broken.

Everything is great
But the design is repetitive and not attractive
And
The user interface could have a newer look. One UI 5.1 user interface is still not as good as IOS and has not evolved!

Fingers crossed 🤞 the S23 Ultra can finally beat the Puxel 6/7 in the camera department as a phone beating it for less than half the price would be ridiculous like it was for the S22 Ultra. Great to see tsmc manufacturing the cpus now and not Samsung plus a big jump in performance this year as the S22 Ultra was underpowered for it's price regardless of qualcomm or exynoss so never got why the S22 Ultra was considered the best phone when it was underpowered and only had the 3rd best camera. 8GB of ram for £1249 is also ridiculous 12GB of ram should come standard across the board.

Clearly an take from Apples book of updating the hardware for next year. Bah! wery Marginal upgrade. Although ditching the Exynos is an welcomed update. Theres even downgrades as well such as selfie cam (well pixels ain't everything but still with numbers) and wireless charging.
What an disappointment! Yet! I kinda expected this nonsense.
