Agreed feels better in the hand too

I highly doubt it considering the s22 ultra is still extremely fast. $700 is not just worth a little more battery life. That's not enough. Cameras are almost the same, screens are pretty much the same. Speakers are reportedly better on s23 ultra.

how much battery life are you getting. I have purchased it a week ago and am getting around 5hrs of sot and am pushing the it much. And 5hrs is not great.

@@mjjones1045Clearly, you haven't yet experienced S23 Ultra, do you? Probably, you're basing it on paper and the listed specifications. Let me elaborate the "reports" you're reading. First, the thermals are way better on S23 Ultra. I'm a big gamer, so the fact that a phone doesn't get warm easily in relatively long gaming sessions is a huge improvement. Second, I am not a camera guy so I didn't pay attention to the iterative upgrade from 108MP to 200MP, but hey, it's good to know that its there and its still an upgrade. Third, the ergonomics. Both S22U and S23U are huge phones and they are actually similarly sized. But once you hold the S23U, you can definitely feel the difference. The relatively squared-sides coupled with slightly less-curved edges feels like you're not holding a huge phone at all. It's amazing how such minor tweak made a huge improvement in terms of comfort. Fourth, speakers and haptics are noticeably better on S23U. More immersive content consumption because of the improved speakers. And better haptics would definitely help whenever you receive notifications while your phone is in your purse or pocket. Lastly, and the most important one, the battery. I am a heavy user, and from my experience with S22 Ultra, I have to charge it at least twice a day depending on my usage. That phone could not last a whole day especially when using 5G and location turned on. So, I developed battery anxiety thinking that I might miss important calls or notifications mid day because my battery might get drained. With the S23 Ultra, I must say with confidence that this phone can rival the best phones in terms of battery life. From 4-5hrs SOT on my S22U to 7-8hrs SOT on S23U, that's a massive leap. Not to mention that having to charge your phone less often will benefit your battery in the long run. So, yeah, feel free to read my report. EDIT: oh and I forgot to mention, the double-the-storage deal from Samsung definitely helped. I was running out of storage on my S22U 256GB since I've been saving all my photos and videos on my phone since my Note 3. So yeah, the additional $500 that I spent together with the $700trade-in value on my S22U seemed justifiable.

@@dhalsatyaprakash I purchased mine four days ago. It's still learning my usage patterns but from my initial tests, it usually lasts at least 7-8 hours (on wifi) from 85 to 15%. Now, I'm testing it on light mode to see if there is any difference. 5hrs is definitely not good on S23U and you're using it casually. But I would understand it if you're a heavy user and you're using moblie data, especially 5G, and if you're lcoation is always turned on. Also, if you just restored your apps from your previous phone to the S23U, you might want to consider identifying which one is possibly draining your battery. You might also want to uninstall the bloatware that came preinstalled with the device.

I only got 9hrs once on my 22u. Hit 7-8 with 20-30% on the 23u

Can you tell me about the haptics.

​@@titasray330 they are better

How much better could the S23 ultra possibly be?

Would consider it if the screen wasn't curved. That's always an immediate dealbreaker to me

I switched and came right back just like the freedom of android

​@@Mob3tta_01 that's great but the camera sucks on the ultra and androids. Compare iPhone I can't believe how shitty the camera is. Iphone video recording is so responsive. And smooth. On the 23 ultra its so laggy and choppy. Not smooth at all. Feels too cheap

I'm one of those guys that switched back to android nothing special having the same phone the person next to me has I want to be unique

​@@xShinobiXxu on cracked lol dude s23 ultra has good photos I had it for month n I had taking amazing photos some people have ugly skin tone so ofc the camera won't come out nice but the s23 ultra takes good photos u don't no how adjust settings 😂

Good choice!

I just recently upgraded from the Note 20 Ultra and it was definitely worth it you're gonna love the battery life on the S23 Ultra

I am used to stitching my 4K 60 videos together at the edit stage on my S23 Ultra William, but if the Pixel 7 Pro can switch between lenses at 4K 60 then I cannot see why the S23U doesn't. This needs to come in a future update in my opinion. 👍

Got two updates before filming this. But looking forward to that big camera update though. Should I make a video? 🤔

@@HeyMarkL I'd say yes, it could be significant

​@@markatkinson167 I have one question though, this big camera update.. Are any other phones BESIDES the S23 Series getting this? I hope other Samsung phones do since it's unfair to those with a non S23 Series phone..

@@Moyaiville_Productions don't think so, the likes of the S22 ultra have already received their primary camera updates. This one is for the new camera system on the S23

Yes please, make a new video after the update🙏🏻

Nova Dark icons!

Unfortunately I can't find that in the icon store

So much better than S20 Ultra! From the in-hand feel, to the cameras. A worthy upgrade for sure.

@T_elegramme_TheRealMarkL I got a middle finger for you too, nigga🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think the real question is, will other flagship phones be able to compete with the S23 Ultra? Samsung sets the bar high every year.

Daddy is that really you? 😮

@@miembrosgibran yes

Yes

Ooooh. Haven’t tried that yet. Sounds amazing

I actually don’t use RCS since I use WhatsApp / Telegram exclusively to talk to friends and family. There’s probably only a few people I know who have RCS enabled and even then we don’t use it to communicate.

I’m averaging around almost 8hojrs sot with about 17 percent remaining which is amazing because that’s not also taking into account when I’m using it for music and ebooks or gps with the screen off. I take my phone off the charger and put it on around 11-12 midnight. I never have to worry about charging anymore. It takes around 2-3 weeks for the battery to adaptive learning and I’ve had mine around a month. I use a little less then half brightness but everything else is maxed out in settings.

@@kaiichinose9590 My smartphone is just few days like 5 days. And the learning mode it was showing is no more showing now. Still can I consider the battery issue will be automatically fixed in next 2 weeks ? How many hours sot it was showing you when your phone was just 1 week old of use.. and compared to now after 2-3 weeks of use

@@dhalsatyaprakash Mine was around 5hrs SOT for about 10 days and then started increasing, and is now averaging consistent 7.5hrs SOT per day. Give it another week and hopefully it will improve.

@@andyH_England Thanks for the input. Its a sigh of relief 🤑 Lets see if it improves. Within how many days of use your battery stopped showing "learning usage patterns ".

@@dhalsatyaprakash After 5 days, it stopped showing "learning". You could also try the "light" mode, which can improve battery life with little effect on performance.

Yeah I mean S22+ sounds about right. But S22 Ultra I feel like you can justify not upgrading tbh.

NEVERRRRRRR

It's better

It is clear by now that Samsung does not have the image processing prowess of Apple and Google. Hence their solution is to throw as much hardware as they can as a solution to a problem. The Marketing team does the rest for them in trying to convince us that they have really made a competition beating, brilliant 100X moon zooming camera. The buzzwords at their event and subsequent reviews rotate around 200MP, 100X zoom, 8K video. All marketing BS.

Why is everyone praising this camera when it's honestly - below the average. I'm so mad at myself for buying Samsung device once again...shutter lag, oversharpening, oversaturating... I swear, if someone presented me photos from my gallery I'd believe it's some five - six years old midranger. Instead of heavy marketing and all these free devices and paid reviews, they should invest money in camera software polishing PS software update just ruined battery life on my phone. Samsung, once again...

@@stevanb.2590 Absolutely. The problem is with the reviewers is that they will not admit that they see the oversharpening. If asked they would just day "oh i don't notice it" Which is ironic because it's most likely the reviewers who have the other devices to compare the photos with. If they wanted the could easily see the differences in image processing by comparing one device with the other and seeing the differences between image processing. An average consumer would never be able to tell because they just have one phone.

Oh stop moaning. Side by side with iPhone 14PM vs S23U and various pro camera reviews are out and you still got the phone with your own money. In the end its largely a taste thing, however despite a bit worse raw editing side than iPhone I still get more consistently good photos with the S23U. Its convenient to forget the telephotos which of the 10x one you are not getting on anything else. The main sensor is really splitting hairs with the slight exception of the 1'' sensors that appear to deliver a bit more raw resolution.

@@Ruudwardt So, you need reviews to tell you that the camera on your device is good or bad ? 1) most of them are paid or at least they got a free device 2) pictures they compare are flowers, sky, buildings... if you used the phone, you would know that shutter lag makes taking pics of anything that's moving - impossible 3) this camera just can't be compared to Iphones because it lacks - predictability. Like with all Samsung devices I used in last 6-7 years. With Iphone, you pretty much know what the end result will be. Using Samsung - you can take pictures of same subject in same conditions, one after another and get three different results. One good, other below average and third that's unusable.

Shit actually shrinks the more you use it, it's crazy lol & it feels & looks futuristic.
