Ok

My S21+ is still going strong so I won't switch for a while, but if they keep going strong for the next couple years I may have to consider a galaxy s24 or s25 ultra, instead of switching to a pixel like I've been considering

@@FinneasJedidiah I still use Note 9 and torn between 14 pro max and S23U (been Samsung user for 8 years tho). Wished to ask how's the battery performance on your s21+ after these years? My biggest concern is whether Samsung phones still get laggy after a year or couple of years?

I read your comment first and still only noticed it in the video after 15th photo or so :). Great touch indeed

I maybe thought the same when I first noticed it, but I don't like it. Especially while he's talking.

Can you switch it off? Don't know about Samsung & the Koreans but, in the early days, all the Japanese phones had to have a snap sound to their cameras, to stop the perverts from taking "up skirt" snapshots on the subway. A sort of 'bakachon' sound.

I'm in the same boat as you, thinking of upgrading to the ultra from the s10+. Might just have to pull the trigger even though I will miss the expandable memory

I just upgraded from the Galaxy Note 20 to the S23 Ultra this week, and I love it. This S23 Ultra is so much faster than my Note 20, and the camera is so much better, but it still feels like my Note 20.

Same here but from a Note10 lite! Absolutely loving it.

@@LEXXIUS Would you mind giving away your s9+ when you get your new device. It would really help with my schoolwork as my a50 is badly damaged and battery life is so bad now

Is ut definitely worth the upgrade over the s21 ultra? I'm on the fence, not sure what to do

@Eóin McCann if you're from UK u get £410 when you trade in your old S21 Ultra 256GB , and there is £150 off if you pre-order S23 Ultra 512GB which would cost £1399 but it's only £1249. Minus £410 equals £839 which you can finance for 36 months with £119 upfront and £20 monthly payments , that's what I did. My S21 Ultra is getting old and sometimes I have lag and battery life is not as great anymore

@@eoinmccann8450 Totally worth it, sold my s21 ultra and bought s23 ultra. Camera, battery, screen(less curved as i like) and performance is much better than s21 ultra😊👌🏻

☝🏽

As a Note 9 user that upgraded from a Note 8, I agree. This is the first phone I've actually felt an urge to jump up to.

Still running my trusty battle-scarred Note 9, might jump to the S23 Ultra later this year when the prices drop a bit.

Dang that's so clutch lol. Why the tablet though, I would just use that money for a watch or case

@@sahil_tayade it came free with the phone xD I sold the tablet for 190e :D big win

What's your experience with cameras and the S-pen? You think it's worth it?

​@@Mardoxx7 The front camera is pretty poor in third-party apps. I guess the Samsung Camera app does a lot of heavy lifting to give you a good image. I have issues connecting to the S-pen first time (for the air gestures, writing doesn't require connection). I always have to put it back and take it out a second time, but I guess this is a software issue that will get fixed. The first-time setup is also very buggy, was stuck in the setup screens loop for hours until it randomly fixed itself, but that type of issues will probably get fixed by the time you get it. Worth it? Not at the release retail price, but I got it with a student discount and an accessory bundle discount and with 0% long-term financing, which, with the current inflation will make this phone a lot cheaper as the time runs.

@lukect bro I need your opinion about the camera. I'm also a s21 ultra user and I pre-ordered this s23 ultra and will get it in couple of days . But the only reason I ordered because thinking the camera would be far better from s21 ultra. Do you think it has a significant change ? What's your experience

The upgrade should be avoided for those already have s22 ultra. Since you have s21 it's good to upgrade. I am upgrading from s20+ to s22 ultra

@Sriharsha Ng yeah I'm probably gonna return it if the camera not satisfied enough. But they giving 800 for trade in my old phone plus a storage upgrade and free buds 2 if we pre order before 17. That's why i ordered.

Have u got a delivery date yet? If u got black or green it should come faster. I'm debating if I want to pre-order or wait 1 week till launch. My luck lately pre-order will come the end of February lol.

You're gonna hate the size if you have small hands 😔

Im happy for you. Its really the best feeling after u use a phone(actually a tech device) for 4+ years and retire it. I am even bonded to my old calculator xD.

As we should. Phones are getting so sophisticated nowadays and each brand makes impressive products. I like Samsung's innovations alot especially their camera and customizability. That being said, we should prepare to be called "iSheep" "Apple fanboys" and get insulted for simply preferring iPhones.

One of the biggest reasons I can’t see myself switching to Android is losing the data and and setup I’ve built up over the years.

Do you have something to say about the phone he reviewed or as usual you came here to suck up to MKBHD.

Honestly, not really, not this time. This was barely a phone review. It was a camera review. And even when it comes to the camera, not a single mention of how those photos look like once shared anywhere on social media. Most people take photos to share them. If he’s gonna spend 90% of the video reviewing the camera, might as well tell us if it’s still terribly compressed once shared…

You guys need to chill. When I said the "quality of the video" I meant the aesthetics , for example @ 0:45 all the things in the frame are not random they were kept there to add value to the shot be it the the black rubik's cube, the speaker, the things that are out of focus, the shadows or the plant for contrast and don't forget the panning to focus on the camera's of the phones when he's talking about the differences between them. I'm a music producer and I've recently started studying video production and color grading to create my own content and to me this is the quality of video production I aspire to achieve. And coming to the phone itself there's nothing much to talk about , it's an incremental upgrade that one should ignore if they already have an s22ultra unless they're a rich, tech enthusiast who must have the latest tech in their pocket.

@@Dryblack1 This. I'm upgrading from the Note10+ (the last Note to have the pen on the correct side IMO) to the S23 Ultra and the stylus placement is one of the very few things I'm not looking forward to, right alongside exclusion of SD card slot.

@@XXJosh599XX yeah probably the one of the few but still existing negatives of the s23 ultra from my old note 10+... Well the power button is on the other side again.. When i said again.. It's that because a lot of people actually didn't like that they switched the button placement back in 2019. However i am ready with the non-existence of sd slot since 4 month's ago i bought a 4tb sandisk ssd portable.

@@XXJosh599XX I'm honestly still bitter about having to upgrade at all. I loved my Note 8, and I think the Note 9 was peak smartphone. When my Note 8 broke, I really wanted to get a Note 9, but settled for the Note 20 solely for the security updates. I just can't stand camera bumps or display cut-outs. I dread the day I have to give up my sd card slot.

How much better are the cameras??

Not a good option though since you're sacrificing image quality.

@@theMLBfan Exactly.

@@theMLBfan was gonna say this

Actually, as a common misconception of the shutter lag, it is reducing the frames shot, not shortening the time between pressing the button and taking the photo. The S23, S22, and every other Samsung phone start taking the picture immediately, but it takes time for it to take all of the frames, which is why it feels slow. It's not shutter lag, which many people believe it is.

Can someone tell me if it has multi burst shots like the other models? Because if it does , burst shots are quick.
