You know what they say “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” It’s the approach we see with car makers all over, and it’s also the “S” year strategy we saw from Apple in the past.
Samsung has never been known for sticking to a flagship design for a second year, but it begs to really ask ourselves just how important is it? Fact is, it’s pretty complicated to switch looks every year, and we even see how car makers use those iteration years to refine their product. So, what if? What if Samsung decided for the first time ever that it was time to give you a better phone, and not just better looks.
On one corner we have the Galaxy S23 Ultra, what Samsung calls as Ultra, Evolved. The company's latest and greatest flagship. On the other we have the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Samsung’s first Note-worthy upgrade to this lineup, and also one of my favorite phones of last year. Whether you’re upgrading or considering getting the old model with a discount, it always begs to wonder just how much better can a phone get from one year to the next. I’m Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and let’s dive in to our comparison.

@radulescu21 Жыл бұрын

I switched mainly because of battery life and overall feel. The s22 would get me trough the day, but in a heavy use day it always felt like I might need a charger. As it got bellow 70% it just kept dropping before your eyes. And the occasional Samsung stutters and overheating were not in line the premium high end feel of the phone. I don't switch phones often, but couldn't love the s22 enough to see me keeping it for 2 years. The s23 despite the same looks, is like a breath of fresh air. Amazing battery and effortless performance, it now finally matches the looks. I think it's the best Samsung of it's time, ever.

I thought the s23 plus had 5000 mah as the ultra,after further inspection i found out it's 4500 mah which is a dick move from samsung as there are a lot of devices out there at 6.6 inches that have 5000 mah batteries and faster charging speeds at half of the price of an s23 plus,so yeah...solid proof that samsung became the apple of android in which you pay more for less,just because of the brand.....shame. All in all.the only reason i would buy the ultra is the integrated S pen with higlight on integrated,as i don't care if it has support for s pen but no space for it in the housing,if the plus and even the simple s23 had that i would never shell out money for the ultra.

I have an S22U and don't plan to change it for a while. Everything is very smooth and just like it should be in a flagship. Even the battery. 4hrs SoT from 85% to 35% and from 7am till 11pm. Upgrading isn't justified, at least not changing it for the S23U. Idk for S24U , because historically Qualcomm has missed a year with its processors (1 yes and 1 no) so I'm not very optimistic for SD 8gen3. Maybe I'll change when S25U is released :D

@@MisaelMatute76 I totally understand you 🤣 The story goes like this: It was november 2019 when I was looking for a replacement for my OP 5T, I hated Samsung phones for ages, I was tempted to buy an OP 7pro when I saw the note 10 plus in the store. I bought it and was disappointed with the software, with the battery, the screen brightness was lower than on the 5T. After a couple of month I sold it and bought a xiaomi poco f2 pro, best phone, good battery life, uninterrupted screen. After a couple of weeks the popup camera stopped working and start overheating. After that I bought the Oppo reno 10x zoom 5g, the best phone I ever owned, great battery life, uninterrupted screen, nice software, nice cameras. After a couple of months I bought the note 20 ultra, lag city, screen brightness got dimmer if I was using chrome or maps, and the battery was terrible. Sold it, I tried a couple of Oneplus (8t, 8 pro) returned them both and stick with my Oppo, I tried for a couple of month the zenfone 7, great phone but the lack of a decent case was a big let down for me, the phone being too heavy and slippery. I bought the s21 ultra, great battery life for a samsung but the screen brightness problem and dumb software was enough for me to sell it. I bought the OP 9 pro, ticked all the boxes for me for a couple of months, but wanted something better with a better battery life. I bought the s22 plus, I didn't like the ultra becauce having the last 2 notes with a curved screen the s pen was pointless on the edges. And then I heard about Samsung ditching the exynos 😍 and seeing all that 8gen2 goodness, with great battery life efficiency and great thermals, I gave the s22 plus to my wife and waited patiently for the s23 ultra. Now, I can tell you, while every year I was hearing the same thing, Samsung is best, samsung is that, samsung makes the best screens, one ui is the best , it really made me puke, I knew it wasn't true and I know for a fact that youtubers are paid to say all the nice things about them. So I pre-ordered it to see how it goes. Got the phone, charged it to 100 percent, and then set it up, with accounts files, etc.. And then I used the phone, one hour , 2 hours, 3, 4.. and I was like, what the...

If you are more into mobile videography, go for s23 Ultra. But if you are more into photography, s22 Ultra pictures including night mode pictures are much better than s23 Ultra. I own s22 Ultra and recently got s23 Ultra too. After doing image and video comparison, I found s22 Ultra images are less grainy, sharper (less sharp after April update), more clear, basically overall better than s23 Ultra. But in s23 Ultra colours are more accurate, especially skin tones, sky colours, reds are very close to natural colour. The videos are definitely better than s22 Ultra. Surprisingly, shadow areas are grainier in pictures, but video of the same shadow areas has no grains in s23 Ultra. And obviously no grains in s22 Ultra. After April update, selfie video quality has improved a lot in s22 Ultra. So, overall s22 Ultra is more stable in terms of camera performance. Upgrading to s23 Ultra from s22 Ultra is a waste of money unless you are more into mobile videography than photography.

So, I went for old with a discount. I didn't have a relevant phone to trade-in (coming from an S9 with a spare S10e), so the cost of an unlocked S23 Ultra would have ended up being over $1000 before taxes. I was able to get a certified refurb from Best Buy for the S22 Ultra at about $700 all-in ($704 I belive total). Paired with 24 months financing, it was a no-brainer for me. I'm sure there are things that the S23 will do better, but I think bang for the buck, the S22 at $700 vs the S23 at $1100+ makes the performance/dollar scale tip well into the favor of the S22. I'm already amazed at how far editing on mobile has come. This phone is doing better in the stock photo editor than my business class laptop can in PhotoShop lol. At least in render time and simplicity.

I love how I can use the s22 ultra as an external drawing pad with the Super display app. Edit: i think I have to wait for the price to go down to make the upgrade because it insane to upgrade to s23 ultra right now. I went from an LG Stylo 4 to a motorola, then to a samsung s21 ultra. The random brand switch was because LG stylo were no longer being made.

I was a staunch Blackberry owner who switched to LG (G5 to G6 to G8X to V30 to V60). I only switched to Samsung because LG stopped making phones. Nevertheless, I ended up getting a S23U through a really good deal with Google Fi, and I must say it's a GREAT phone to be honest.

Despite hardcore selling by some, unless you need the extra battery life or more FPS in intensive games, currently, there are few reasons to upgrade to S23U, bearing in mind the cost in some regions (£1400 for 12GB in the UK). The caveat is that Exynos users with a dodgy Exynos S22U will jump at getting rid of that crap. I traded in my Exynos and am now getting an experience with the S23U closer to my OPPO Find X5 Pro, though still behind in smoothness, animations and performance in day-to-day use. However, despite the early rave reviews for the camera, which could have been more accurate, they have disappointed significantly. I have stopped using it and await the camera update, which is due soon. I am back to my OPPO, which has far better results. Thankfully, buyers no longer have to suffer Samsung-made chips, and we are finally getting what we should expect. Nothing above the norm for the SD8G2, but the chip is no longer a BIG negative. There are still better phones out there for photos and videography as Samsung is still relying on old, outdated optics in most of their lenses, and most of us would prefer one inch, 50mp primary rather than bragging rights on 200mp.

I had the S22+ and from what I heard the S22 Ultra wasn't much better for battery so that would be my closest comparison, I have the S23 Ultra and it's definitely an upgrade, battery and experience wise. My only negative is that there seems to be a wifi-6 issue that seems to be going around and mine has been affected by it, so loading something takes a hot minute. It won't replace my iPhone as my main driver but definitely something I'd take overseas and not have battery anxiety.

We all knew the only reason to upgrade would be close to an even swap, anything else is impulse and anxiety. The upgrades are great but the s22u was there last year. The battery anxiety, extra 1-2hrs or extra fps is nice but not for anything less than an even exchange. If the cost were say 500 or less sure. People like myself have invested in the 22u with numerous cases over 20. I knew this was the phone to keep so the small extras don't do that much for me especially when I've been upgrading every year since the note 8. Maybe the 24, if not definitely the 25. We're in good shape for now. Other KZfaq videos will have you to believe there's a massive difference but there's not, be smart, learn your device and you'll see it's just as capable.

Overall I'm very pleased I traded in the S22 Ultra which I really didn't like & to prove the point, my wife normally gets the hand down and we trade in her mobile but she stuck with the S21 Ultra.

I wish Samsung released flagships once a year (one year for S lineup, one for Flip/Fold). Then, they would have time to perfect the software. It's already good, but by the time next model is out, all attention is focused to it and "old" one (that is still very capable) is...forgotten. S23 Ultra has pretty much the same problems S22 Ultra had. Shutter lag, inconsistent cameras, weird os solutions. I don't care about latest and greatest processors, high ram and megapixels. Quantity of phones presented just ruins the quality. "It will get better with software updates" is something that's just unacceptable for phones that are "flagship". That's what I don't like about Samsung phones. And the fact that software updates do ruin the devices after year and a half - two.
