I do want the Ultra specs but the design of the S23 plus.

I decided to go with the S23+. I think you have to ask yourself what your requirements are, with anything you buy really. On some level I do agree that the Ultra is worth the relatively small amount of extra money, but it my case, it's still money that I don't need to spend to get what I want out of a phone. I don't see myself using the S-pen. Like you said, the resolution difference is barely noticeable, if at all. 10x zoom is kind of a nice option but one I can live without. If you don't think you need any of the extra features that the Ultra offers, then why spend more? Don't fall for this car dealership mentality of getting upsold on features you don't need. MKBHD talked about a great example with iPad pricing and how Apple walks you up the price ladder with small little increments, each time convincing you to spend just a little more, until suddenly you've arrived at something way beyond what you originally intended to spend and probably don't actually need. I could afford the Ultra, and in this one isolated purchase, spending that extra money would not kill me. But think about a lifetime of making decisions like this (oh just a little bit more and I can get this), and it'll add up.

I love it when KZfaqrs give the answer to their question right in the beginning and then go on to explain. This way, I know where your opinion is and have a better understanding of your explanation as I watch.

Except the 100x zoom feature, I don't miss anything in S23 Plus. It's really good, and for normal photos you can barely tell the difference between the two. The performance and battery life are excellent. And it's the right size for me, plus curve edges clearly rule.

I have the Plus and it is absolutely worth it. I didn't want to spend the extra cash for the Ultra, but definitely wanted something larger than the base model. Performance (including gaming), battery life, and display are all outstanding. 512 gb of storage is more than plenty. Now all that said, I don't take many pictures. If you're wanting the best camera out there, the ultra is probably worth the extra money. If you don't, I can't see a big enough difference to justify it.

As someone currently holding a 21 ultra that doesn't care about having best camera or S pen and thinks 6.8 is slightly too big, the S23+ seems perfect. You still get the same processor and similar capability as the ultra with a $200 discount. Im definitely leaning towards the plus.

Many companies do this actually, this is a marketing strategy. The purpose of s23+ 's existence is to make ultra look more appealing to consumers.

I got the s23 plus. I hear your points in the video, but there are several reasons to choose the s23 plus iver the ultra. 1. I don't like note line phones, I don't want a s pen, and the boxy form factor 2. The screen is too big for one hand usage. That's pretty much it 😂 but saying it's pointless to buy a s23 plus isn't valid imo. It's the perfect size and I don't like the small size of the s23. Yes the ultra is a better phone, but that doesn't make the plus useless. Yes the s23 plus is 200$ more (I would say it should 100 more), but a bigger screen, faster charger, more storage, and better battery life is worth it.

I recently bought S23+ and it works pretty well. I really do not like that square edge brick. Apart from that zooming photos I really do not miss anything from S23+ truly. Guys please do not hesitate to purchase S23+ and you might feel same way like IPhone because it looks like same appearance rather than that big square box.

I have a 20fe and am thinking about upgrading. What concerns me about the Ultra is size, weight, and, as you mentioned, feel of the phone. My fear is if I get the Ultra, I will be kicking myself for having spent 200 more for a phone that I can't fit in a pocket and I like carrying around less .

I've considered both of these phones, and the reason I'm leaning towards the s23 plus. I wouldn't really use the s pen and I'm not a fan of boxed screens. I will say I'm surprised battery life is that much better on the ultra. You'd think with the quad hd display on the ultra and the full hd on the s23 plus the battery life would be very similar. I do think most people obsess a bit too much on cameras. How often do people zoom in 30 times? Or actually use 8k? Obviously if you pay more you get a little more. For most regular average consumers, I think it's borderline laughable to say the s23 plus isn't worth it. I'm sure I'm not the only person that wouldn't use the s pen or even care about the slight difference in cameras. And $200 is alot of money to most people. By that logic, the s23 isn't relevant either because it's only $400 less than the ultra. Yet each phone will appeal to some price ranges or preference in design. On a side note, you said we are in December? It's late February bro lol 🤣

Great vid, very honest and unbiased. Money is not an issue if it's 20% more, I think most people will skip note line until they offer your choice of flat or curved display. Rather than making the s23+ they should make 23U with flat or curved display. And stop with the colour choices because people buy cases to cover the backs..

Non financial Reasons why (previous note owner and ultra owner ) 1. I'm absolutely sick of Samsung pushing curved displays they are harder to protect with screen protectors unless you get an overpriced and complicated uv treated one .2. I don't use the s pen unless I think about it and force myself to use it also writing on curved edges with the pen is silly 3.the feel in hand and even in most cases the plus just fits the hand better .4. I run my phone's at 1080p as my eyes cannot see a difference in 1440p on a 7 inch display 5.although the zoom is magical and has improved drastically year over year , I'm over moon shots and impressing my friends by taking pics from across the street , 5-10x zoom usable and clear is good enough for my use . , I hate how majority of tech tubers push the ultra and ignore the other phones like they're terrible ..is the ultra the best out of the 3...it better be considering price lol but the things it has for extras or features over the plus don't matter to me .

Glad to hear about the chip consistency and upgraded heatshrink. My current phone (S21+) was, if im not mistaken, available with 2 different chips on 3 different locations. I have the worst chip on the worst location. My phone is always warm or HOT, in the summer my battery lasts 2 hours tops because of this and overall, my battery life decreased enormously fast. My only doubt now is the 23 plus or ultra, due to regional samsung deals, the price difference would be only €150 with the ultra also coming with buds 2. Thanks for the comparison, you helped me make up my mind and make me consider galaxy S phones again to begin with!

I just really wish they could put the awesomeness of the ultra into a package the size of the base S23. I have an S22 Ultra r/n and just pre-ordered the S23+ because I'm sick of how big this phone is. I am nervous that the size of the plus is going to annoy me too. But I wanted more features than the base, so here I am hoping that I didn't choose wrong

As I try to figure out which one I want to keep. I like the s23plus it fits in a hand MUCH Better and using your one hand to swipe much easier, battery seems great, the sound on movies is better than the ultra to me. Now the ultra zoom on picture taking is mind blowing, but when will I really care to use it.... once in awhile. And it has 12 ram vs 8 on the plus. But my plus seems great at 8. Do I really need the ultra? It does seem much heavier and wider than my note 8 that I had. According to my scale, my note 8 is 6.6 ounces, the s23plus is 7.0 and the ultra is 8.1 without a case added to it yet. I can feel the weight difference. Even swiping the unlock screen for your password is more effort on the ultra. I cant imagine how I am to run or work out in the gym with this huge ultra. I wish the camera was on the plus then itd be a done deal. But I think Imma have to over look the zoom and go with what makes more sense to my every day comfort and use. And that is the S23plus. I wanted to really like the ultra I do I guess, but its way too big. Period.

I got the 512Gb S23+. I wanted lots of built in storage but not a big phone. It was the best compromise I could get.

Thank you for providing the answer at the onset and then going into the details. I praise your format and style!

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said why the plus costs so much but doesn't have any of the extras that the utra delivers. I was leaning towards getting the plus even tho I love the ultra but it's just too big for me, so for now am gonna keep going with my s10 😅

I wanted to pick the S23 Plus or the Ultra in Green because it was the sweet spot for me, but they were out of stock in my local stores, so I ended up getting the regular S23 (256GB) in Green and it still gives all of the premium feel quality and flagship features, but only the difference is the display being smaller, less resolution because of the 1080p panel but is still a gorgeous display, battery is definitely noticeable from the S23 Ultra, but the S23 still gives me 6 or more hours of Screen time when doing moderate use with light gaming sessions at high graphics. The camera is still grear despite not having the 200mp camera. It still gives nice-looking photos in daylight with great focus and color. Ram and storage are adequate for this small device. Overall, even if you are picking the most basic S23 from the lineup, you are still getting a great device that comes with everything that you need for a flaghship device but in a smaller and confortable size.

The 200 dollar price difference between the s23 plus and the ultra isn't by accident. They are designed and priced in such a way that the buyer can justify spending "slightly more" for a considerably better phone.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for clarifying your opinion right off the bat instead of milking the viewer's curiosity to keep them glued to your video until the very end. Deserved a whole watch-through of your video and an instant Subscriber! Much appreciated.

The 23+ barely fits my jeans and shorts front pocket while riding my motorcycle. The ultra, with its larger size and sharp corners, would first pierce my pockets, then slip off them while on the bike. That was the deal breaker for me. The only thing I really wanted from the Ultra was the extra ram, but 12gb model is more than $200 difference, and the size is still more important to me. So here's a reason for you.

What would you recommend for somebody who has only had every Note model since the 1st (including the exploding one and everything after)

Yeah, just traded in my beloved Note8. After Loyalty rewards and autopay ended up getting the Ultra for the same price I was paying. Great phone. Gives me that Note5 feel (my favorite phone ever).

Finally a tech youtuber that is calm, clear and concise that also brings in some sense of humor into the videos. A for effort and A for performance!

I think many people like S23+ design as it's better feel on holding it. While if you want a higher spec. and don't mind the hand feeling, go for the S23 Ultra

It really just depends on individual wants and needs. The s23 ultra is golden for someone like me who has, shall we call it, aged vision. The bigger screen and design alone of the ultra makes it the better choice to me. And if battery life is actually better on the ultra model then an extra $200 isn't much more. Especially if you keep phones for the 5 years of security updates it will get. I don't care about cameras and I think folks obsess over it too much if I'm honest. I watch KZfaq phone reviews and the biggest majority of them are people either bragging at length over cameras or whining about the cameras. If you want professional grade camera and videos, buy professional equipment. You know tech people are going too far when reviewers spend all review on the cameras alone and never mention call quality. I'd rather know how the smartphone functions as...wait for it.... a phone! As for getting either of these phones, I have an s21 FE and until Samsung can offer way better trade in deals I'll stick with it.

now i need another version with the ultra's spec but with the plus design

i got the 512gb s23 ultra. i dont mind the boxy/squared look (the previous ones remind me too much of an iphone) i like the s pen to write notes etc. and the battery is important to me. the cameras are cool but i dont use it enough to find a difference but overall i got it for battery

I was aiming for the S23+ until Samsung offered me a huge trade in for my S9 which itself had a failing battery but otherwise pristine, and that largely offset the price gap of the Ultra. Considering I use my phones for 5+ years, might as well get something nice I can use for years to come.

Question: Would footage that you film with the ultra be better quality than the plus? Or would the video quality be identical? I understand that the Ultra takes better photos because of the 200 megapixels, but does that apply to wheb filming videos as well?

I'm still rocking an S7 Active. But the time is coming soon to upgrade so, thank you for the info.

OK....I'm getting a "Ultra" today 08/12/23 !! Thank You.

I was really only looking for as much of a direct replacement to my S20FE as I could find. It was a solid phone for the last 2.5 yrs and did everything I needed. Just the battery was getting pretty crappy. The S23+ is the same screen size, slightly bigger battery, double the storage, and a few other slight upgrades. Jumped on the samsung deal because normal trade in for the S20FE is $75. With the deal I walked out with a S23+ for $6/mo.

I will choose the ultra in the end, however its unfortunately a bit big for most pocket carry instances. Unless most just through in a bag

Not really a fan of taking pictures and the s-pen so i would lean towards the s23 plus. Having decent pictures is already enough for me.

The two length is the regular and the Ultra Wide lens those are the two lenses that I use on the phone out of the two phones which one is better when it comes to video and pictures

You're right mark.... I'm getting the S23 Plus. Why? Because the Ultra IS TOO DAMN BIG! I DON'T WANNA CARRY A BRICK EVERYWHERE! XD

I went for the s23 plus 256 gb version today since it is the right size for me and has good battery life. ultra is too big for me and the price difference is big for me and i dont think i am missing out on the additional features of the ultra which i am not going to use.

It makes sense when you think about American market because $200 isn't that much (considering the minimal wage of $2000+/-) But at least here in Brazil the difference between the S23+ and S23 Ultra is R$3000, which is more and 2 minimal wages (Brazilian minimal wage is something around R$1500). So honestly I'm thinking about picking the S23 Plus and here's why: -Bigger than S23 -Better battery than S23 -Comes with a Galaxy Buds Pro 2 instead of the Buds 2 that comes with the S23 -Costs only R$1k more than S23 -Costs R$3K less than S23 Ultra -Almost the same performance at taking pictures compared to S23 Ultra I'd like to have the Ultra, but it just doesn't make sense to pay more R$3K just for slightly better battery and better zoom, but I'm honestly afraid about buying the S23 Plus and regret it... Edit: i got the ultra LOL

I got the S23 Ultra 512 through my Carrier of many years with a $1000 credit, so basically $300 making it the cheapest and best value. But, it's the first new phone in nearly 5 years for me, upgrade from S8 Active. Honestly, if it wasn't for the Amazing upgrade on the Camera I may have just limped along with this one.

I bought the Ultra this weekend and was debating on returning it for the flat screen S23+. Then I looked at the price and the price difference. You hit the nail on the head with the rant, it just pushed me to realize that I made the correct decision.

Don't like phones with curved screens or box shaped. Don't like scratches on my screen and screen protectors for the ultra are either plastic or difficult to put on and expensive. Not a no brainer for everyone I guess

Totally agree. The Plus has to be cheaper compared to the Ultra, so that it's closer to the S23 (which is nearly identical, just smaller).

We got the s23 . The size is the key thing .

Gonna have to agree to disagree. The ultra is just way too big. Yes it's not hugely different dimensions to the plus on paper but it feels so much larger in the hand. The S23 Ultra is also pretty heavy. Honestly I'd prefer to get the base S23 model if it weren't for the smaller battery and slower charging.

It's funny because actually, the exact opposite is the true. There's very little reason to go ultra over plus. Especially outside of US. Here in Europe we don't have those magical too good to be true provider deals, and the prices are substantially different. In my country the plus costed me 1200€ and ultra starts at 1600€.

Love your content so much, please never stop recording

Things to look for in a smartphone, if you are a working young adult. 1. Speed and reliability of SOC 2. Battery life 3. Storage

13:08 NO. I got the plus and it had nothing to do with the price. The plus just feels better in my hand. I'm not a big photo guy so I don't really need or care for that and same goes for the 's pen'. The difference in the battery is minimal 5100 vs 4700. I listen to music on my head phones so I don't care for the difference in speakers either.

Im a photographer. Love taking photos. But because of that, i already have alot of camera equipment so camera quality wont sway me. Im more interested in the pen lol.

Exactly!!!As a Samsung fan im wondering why they dont release Galaxy plus lineup with a 6.5 inch.We need something between regular and plus. TNX Bro

I'm getting the regular S23 because I prefer to use my phone in 1 hand. But for the majority (I think) that would prefer a much bigger phone, Ultra is the way to go.

I had the s7 edge, and had those pink lines. Ever since I've never gambled with the curved screens. Mostly why I'm leaning more towards the plus

Coming from the S20+, I got stuck trying to decide between the two for two weeks and ultimately chose the Ultra. I'm very happy with my choice and would choose the Ultra again.

the honest opinion man I have ever heard. Perfect mini review and comparison.... Greetings from Greece.

I noticed the same thing, but it's that way for a reason. They want to force us to get the Ultra.

Maybe I should get the ultra lol. I pre ordered the green on the last night of the pre order. I just have to wait til March 10th for it to arrive since it sold out. It's going to be a long wait lol. But I'm going to hold onto the phone for a long time. I don't want to just settle on any color.

Reason to get plus. Flat screen, even bezels

Plus has flat screen. Awesome por protection. Plus has better performance in battery. Several videos on YT prove that. Plus fits better in hand. Ultra is just too big (and Im 6"2). Plus has curved borders for better handling. Camera is better on Ultra, yes, but only for very specific circunstances. The Ultra has pen, yes, but honestly, who cares? I dont. (I know some people like that thing) Ultra is just not enough for the extra 200 dollars. Funny that this video convinced me to buy the Plus. 😅 Thanks.

I appreciate you gave the answer straight away. Thank you.

There is speakers difference between s23 (6.1') base and s23+ (6.6')?

i got my s23+ delivered 1 day before global release, but.... 2 months in and I was sayng how I regreted not getting the Ultra instead...

Man, that .2 inches make a big difference. I really can't handle the ultra in my hand. S23+ is the max size/shape for my hands. Plus, (!) plus looks much more sleek, especially with the green color.

While I really want the periscope zoom. I think I chose right. It's the S23+ for me. ❤️

I just want to make note of the fact Samsung has started making their lower end phones of the same tier (like the S line) to have lower resolution screens when this was not the case years back. The Note 4 in 2016 first had QHD display and when the S10 line came out, the S10 and S10 plus both got the QHD display. Now the smaller model gets FHD and I feel there is no reason they should be going backwards.

Went from S10+ to S22+. Now I was looking at the S23 Ultra. It would be free to stay with the S22+ but the charge port isn’t tight enough to get a good charge. Bumping phone stops the charging, and that is any cable.

I just ordered the plus. I really need to be able to hold the phone in one hand. And the curved display on my current s20 ultra is incredibly annying. I had to download an app in order to disable the touch function on the edges of the display because my hand were just touching and touching and touching.

Curious. looking to buy a samsung. Do you still feel that ultra is a no brainer than the plus for the $200 difference?

Thank you so much for confirming I made the right choice. Really wasn't sure...👍👍👍

I had the ultra s22 too big and heavy. I'm trading in my flip 4 for the S23 plus

Nope, I'm sticking with the Plus. I will never use the s pen or really care about the camera zoom. The S23+ size is right in the sweet spot. The Ultra is a little too big. Either way, they're both amazing phone's.

It's simple, get whatever phone makes you happy and what ever fits you and your personality (like a gf or marriage) The s23 puts a smile on my face, every time I touch it. It's a living breathable thing. I just love the shape and size. Because it's the S range, it's powerful enough. Battery is a trickly one though and something to consider, I don't use my phone much or to game. If you do then maybe the other 2 is better. If there is a shape of the phone you like better, then go for that shape. I love flat screen and curve edges, if out of the ultra or the plus, I would choose the plus, just based on the shape. There is no right or wrong answer, do what makes you happy. I wouldn't move to the A range because it doesn't seem powerful enough. 3 years later, it might run too slow

I appreciate the honest review man. Hope this video gets a million views and likes

I think your review is somewhat true in your region but leaning towards influence. People from all over the world will be watching this. And in the uk, they do a 512gb s23+ for £1149 and the ultra here tops out at 512gb at a cost of £1399. So it's £350 more. Saying "just buy the ultra" doesn't take Into consideration everybody's use case and £350 more, is alot to fork out for the ultra that is essentially "slightly" better. The s23+ is a beast in its own right and many would be happy to own it. I just received mine from a s20+ that didn't use the snapdragon so anyone in Europe is going to notice a massive upgrade from previous s phones. You just jumped in a said "buy the ultra" it's just better. Then layed out how similar they are 🤔. From what I can see, the ultra has a better camera and a "better" screen. Most users struggle to tell the difference after 350 pixels per square inch so that's negligible! The thing that put me off the ultra was it's size once in a case, it didnt feel right in my hand, it's sharp corners and curved display that I hated on my s20+! Screen protectors sit better on a flat panel. I had my s20+ and s23+ side by side playing the same demo the s20+ in quad HD and I struggled to tell the difference. If it was there is was placebo and wouldn't be noticed if you didn't have them side by side. Yes buy the ultra as it is the best phone, but not everyone wants a huge phone, and I think the plus is a very good comprise between the s20 and ultra. I have the same chip, same storage, same charging speeds, same cameras unless zooming in above 30× in a package that sits better in my hand on a day to day basis and is £350 cheaper. You sound more of an influencer than a reviewer. Because you just stated what's best without taking into account people's use case. It's like saying telling a family of 6, buy this ferrari, it looks better and its faster! Not exactly practical for that family though is it so its not better "for them". Best is what suits the consumer. Buy what's best for you peeps, don't let influencers spend it for you! Yes the ultra is better, but only if you are a hard-core phone enthusiast, the plus is still a beast and if you want the balance of size vs performance you can't go wrong and you won't be disappointed with either.

Does the ultra take better pictures of the moon like as if you were right at and see all the things on the moon please send me an answer before I buy the wrong phone

To keep it simple. I'm on the S21U. If I was upgrading I would go to S23+ over the Ultra. I would slightly miss the periscope zoom. However, much prefer the smaller flatter screen design. That wins out for me over the additional features on offer!

I just use both of them, and i choose s23+ for simple reasons explained down: 1. On s23+ more cold in same quest than s23 ultra 2. Curved screen on s23 ultra just destroy the screen protectors and hard to stay, Than s23+ were it s easy to apply and stay still. 3. The felling in hand, i like it more s23+ than s23ultra. 4. And the s23 ultra feels more fragile than s23+ That is my personal opinion.

I have been forcing myself to use the note phone additions of Samsung from 2012 till now with the ultra. For about 10 years I can tell you that I probably found myself using the stylus pen once a month. Unless you regularly sign electronic documents or like playing RPG map games on your phone... Don't get the phone. I'm now happier with my Samsung plus 23 edition. And it all boils down to the phone case and the screen protector.. I can't tell you how many times I've had issues buying screen protectors and phone cases because of the curved screen. And I just realized that by dropping my phone or having small incidents with a cracked screen it has been all attached to the curved edges. You may be able to provide your ultra phone with more protection if you're to get a waterproof built in screen protector phone case.. but all of these designs make the phone so much more bulkier than it is. So do yourself a favor and if you don't mind dialing down on camera quality or screen resolution just resort to a plus because the more conservative design is going to provide your phone with a lot more protection in the long run.

Finally someone who gets straight to the point. Your the man!!

My S20+ just died on me so I'll be upgrading to either the S23+ or S23 Ultra. I was fairly sure that I would be going with the S23+ due to the flat screen and more comfortable size, however the S23 Ultra is currently $400 off from my service provider making it cheaper than the S23+ . Now I'm not sure what to do!

I just purchased the ultra and with trade in the price between the plus and the ultra was only $50 more. No way I couldn't justify not getting the ultra.

hello Mark, for me, just like you stated; its that round shape handle feeling of the Plus !! am I a professional photographer, no. the battery has always been my - final nail ! will it support my avage person use? ps , thank you for your honest review ! money? ok , it does make a difference; however, from a S21 plus user, for 2 years . she is great . take care . peace.

The S23+ has 800mah difference over the regular S23. And 512gb of storage space option in the US. In terms of longevity the S23 Plus is the way to go, Samsung is gonna lengthen the software updates down the road. You'll be able to keep the S23 for 4-5 years and you'll be able to keep the S23 Plus for 6-7 years. Edit: Lithium batteries degrade overtime thus resulting in users either replacing the battery or just purchasing a new phone. Heat is the leading killer of lithium batteries especially in smaller phones. After years of usage the S23 will have more of a depleted battery than the S23 Plus with an advantage of a extra 800 mAH. So in the year 2027/2028 you'll have to upgrade your S23 while the S23 Plus can keep going for another year or 2.

Other reviews say the plus gets better battery life 😅

This is very helpful video. I've been thinking about upgrading soon

As some one watching this on a A52s with a broken screen i just feel the envy flowing through my vains.

I live in Sri Lanka and we do not have the S23+ version at all only S23 and S23 Ultra, but we do get the 256GB Storage option with 12GB RAM on the Ultra. And just for your information S23 & S23+ doesn't have 12GB RAM version in any country, only 8GB RAM.🙂

I've had my galaxy s20 note 5g for over 2 years now and I use the S-Pen once when I got the phone. It sure as hell gave me a heartattack when it would come out the phone by itself & I would have to run around to search for it hoping it didn't fall out the car at the store. Get the 23+!

I went with the S23 plus because I don't like the curved display on the ultra. Camera on the plus is good enough for my needs but I do wish I had the battery performance of the ultra.

Almost all youtubers say that the s23 ultra gives them 2 days. Mine reaches only 24hrs. Is it because its still new? Only had it for 2 full days

I went for the S23+ because it looks and feels like a phone rather than a giant brick. I nearly went for the smaller S23 until I discovered you can play Morrowind on phones now. If there was just one in the middle at 6.3" I'd be even happier.

my only turn off is the size limit 256gb max for s23 if it had memory card slot id instantly buy, that leaves just the ultra x,x

You get a comment and a thumbs up for the upfront, no nonsense answer of what one to get.. you are a rare breed sir lol

I was at the Samsung store earlier today stayed there for 1 hour deciding if I should get the S23 Plus or Ultra. I was leaning towards the Plus to save a few $$. Because I liked how the Ultra looks like, and its pretty much the better phone, I just went for it. On my way home I was still contemplating if I made the right decision or not so I YT S23 Ultra and S23 Plus and came across this vid. I'm glad I found this channel and pretty much has solidify my decision. Thanks Heaps. Setting up my S23 Ultra now and oh man it looks gorgeous.

The problem is that in Canada, the 23+ and the 23ultra 12g is a 600$ different . The 8g 23 ultra is 513$ tax in. The 12g is 789$ tax in. The 23+ is 193$ tax in. If I'm going ultra, I want the 12g of ram for that price. Why they even included an 8g option for the 23 ultra is crazy to me.

Be careful on trade ins, they send me a picture of another trade in that was no qualified and they wanted me to charge to my card the rest of the trade in price. I'm glad I took pictures and this was resolved. But it got me mad.

Here in Brazil the price difference is 400 usd, from the plus to the ultra. So, here, I think that the plus has a better value.

I currently have the S23 Ultra and at the time of ordering I was wondering if I should get the 23+ or Ultra. In the end, I am regretting getting the Ultra because as a low-medium user, I just don't need the specs of the Ultra. I've had the S22 Ultra and didn't use all those high tech camera functions and I barely used the S pen. The only reason I purchased the S23 Ultra is because on the off chance I had to sign documents, the s pen makes it much easier and I preferred a curved screen to a flat screen. However, the size and weight was very uncomfortable in my hand and I didn't like the boxy feel of it. I spent the $200 more because of the extra functions because other KZfaqrs say it makes more sense, but I don't really use them and I'm now wondering why I have the highest spec phone when all I need are clear photos (not 10x or more zoomed) and a non-laggy phone.
