They need 2k screen in such tiny body(no difference FHD and 2K in such small body lol) and SD card. They can't live without these two things.

But when someone really insists on video, they'd get an iPhone at this price point anyway.
Honor Magic 5 Pro truly is an amazing device. If only it had Huawei's reliability in both software and hardware, I'd get it instead of s23u, easily. I love the design and no shutter lag.

Honor Magic 5 Pro it's superior to this phone, Sammy has the advantage of 4 Android updates vs 3, faster updates, and photo quality over 10x zoom it's superior, otherwise the Honor it's superior :)

It is technically not outdated due to having purposes internal storage can not fulfill, regardless of how much faster its transfer rate is.

The "3000 MB/s" transfer rate of the internal storage are little useful if the USB connection to the computer can not handle it and if the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) needs two minutes to load the DCIM/Camera folder because its file listing ability is abysmally slow.
On MicroSD, through mass storage, the DCIM/Camera folder loads immediately.

Floppy disks have 720KB or 1.4MB of capacity.
MicroSD cards can have 524288 MB and full SD cards over 1048576 MB of capacity. Yes, memory cards are in the terabyte range now.
There kind of seems to be a difference…

6.8 inch display & 1440p resolution is worthy to pay the price?
Small screen size & high resolution, why?
To me it's not worthy.
I would rather buy a TV or a desktop monitor which have large display size with large resolution.

Samsung, don't listen to those ... moreI mean most if not all of the chinese high-end phones have almost the similar design, extremely ugly and extremely bulky designs, all look like Verbatim copies without any personality on these designs, even Oppo which had an unique design now looks the same as a Honor or a Xiaomi.
Besides Samsung has by far the most beautiful design and a very unique one. Kudos for that. I am so glad S23 Ultra doesn't have a XXXXXL camera module occupying 30-40% of the back glass but these cool sensors surrounded by an aluminium frame... I hope this will stay for years!

AnonD-1093372, 16 Apr 2023Samsung Slows Down Galaxy S23 Wireless Charging
Samsung’... morePerfect. Wireless Charge is terrible for all phones and it should be avoided at all costs unless if there is no other option. It is proven that Wireless charge downgrade battery life a lot faster (this applies to all phones from all brands) since we have wired charging why would we use a much slower and much more degrading charge? Exactly. I'm serious.
Personally I've never used Wireless charge on any of my phones. I only do for Buds. Even if my BMW has Wireless charge in the central console, it also has 2 USB-C plugs and that's where I charge my S23 Ultra.

Just because there WERE timestamp bugs in the Media Transfer PROTOCOL posted 10 years ago, we should fallback to SD Cards again, or even better floppy disks. I mean why use UFS4.0 3000Mbps write speed when you can use only 100Mbps. Devs can't fix it right?
Tell you what. Lets remove internal storage all together, and load the entire OS on the SD card. Since it has become SO reliable and innovation/progress means nothing to you. Compare the performance of that phone to the S23U. You'll enjoy yourself, I'm certain.
While you are stuck 20 years in the past, say hello to Fred Flintstone as well would you? If you want technical information go to XDA. If you want technical amusement post here.

"Settle for less" is not a mentality for a flagship device. In fact, it is contrary to the purpose of a flagship device.

Samsung Slows Down Galaxy S23 Wireless Charging
Samsung’s latest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S23 family, looks to have a slower wireless charging rate than the previous Galaxy S handset thanks to a quiet downgrade:
“...comparing the new phones to the Galaxy S22 series, PhoneArena found the Galaxy S23 range was up to 40% slower than its predecessors despite Samsung listing both ranges as having the same 15W wireless charging performance. The Galaxy S23 Ultra was the worst offender, charging just 14% in 15 minutes compared to 23% for the Galaxy S22 Ultra, while a full charge took 39 minutes longer."

A bug in the Media Transfer Protocol causes some files to be listed with the last modified date of 1970-01-01. This never happens on mass storage (MicroSD).
Also, cloud services are unsuitable for some kinds of data like music due to copyright filtering.
