Galaxy S23 Ultra

[...] Now I run a S23 Ultra and after two years it still does everything I need. [...]

Watching on my S23 Ultra, and going on 2 years for me in November. [...] I take dozens of photos every day. [...] I'm in love with my S23 Ultra. [...]

2025 July, my S23 Ultra will be 2 years old. [...] I have 3 youtube channels that I use it for filming, and I have no issues at all. For 2 of the channels, I use the front camera with a greenscreen, and the quality is on par with every other youtube channel with fancy cameras.

I made the big switch 2 years ago to s23 ultra from iphone pro 12 max and I never looked back. I am still running with the s 23 ultra and I am happy with it. [...] Overall this s23 ultra is a beast and held up my standards until this day.

Good video friend, I have the s23 Ultra since October 2023, for me it is still the best phone I have had and the best Samsung has produced. It's a flyer can with anything you get to run and takes amazing photos and videos. Anyway it is a great machine that I will have until I no longer update, because I consider that for a few years now the changes that are made in high-end mobiles are very subtle, especially aesthetic, which is why for 90% of mortals it is not very intelligent to change mobile phones every two years considering how powerful high-end processors are. [...]

[...] All i can say is Im very happy with the speed, battery, and updates even when late. [...] I don’t take pictures much but the when I do the pictures come out well. I got the green still a great color.

[...] I have an S23 Ultra for over a year and a half now. [...] I'm saying half, because it still works, but the screen is gone, as well as some part of the touch panel (I know about the touch panel, because screen was still showing for a while but touching was acting weird, then the screen was gone suddenly...). Then I tried a trick to take fully backup and do some tests, which was projecting the screen through Microsoft's Phone Link. The speakers, microphones, cameras, they all working just fine (except the cameras are getting little drops of water in the lens by steam). [...] But over the time, I think battery got a bit swollen, which opened a tiny gap on the back, or maybe chlorine, or salt damaged the glue over time (I didn't put it in sea, but some sea water touched it). [...] Like, why would you drop the optical zoom do

[...] It talks to Android phones, Kindles, and cameras over USB. (Quick refresher: MTP is the protocol your phone uses when you plug it into a computer to copy files.) I benchmarked it against libmtp on a Pixel 9 Pro XL. [...] I thought MTP was slow. Now it seems only libmtp is slow. [...] Tested on Pixel 9 Pro XL, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and a Fujifilm X-T4. [...]

If you haven't tried it, especially if your workplace allows your phone to have access to some corporate data, DeX + a good pair of AR or just integrated display glasses feels like the future. I run my S23 Ultra with a pair of XReal One's, and a folding Bluetooth keyboard (DeX let's you use your phone as a touchpad). [...]

[...] The UI on MotionCam (even after the update) is functional, brutalist, and purely an engineering driven, unstyled Android 4.4 UI elements style. [...] For the purpose I use it for (magnifying glass/telescope, using S23 Ultra), it's wonderful. [...]

I find it annoying too, I assume it's because thin and light devices sell more (both in promo photos and when used in Apple stores). My mum's Samsung S23 Ultra has a ridiculous camera bump and rocks back and forth when you use it, even with some thinner cases. You need a super thick case for it to stay stable.

I had a new 23 ultra in green I sold it to buy a flip phone and knew straight away I’d made a mistake but was to late but I found a black 23 ultra a month ago it looks like new really good condition updated to one ui 8 it’s like a new phone happy again with it

I got an S24 Ultra and foolishly got rid of my S23 Ultra. [...] Anyone owning an S23 Ultra would be wise to keep it

I bought mine when it was first released and I'm still using it and will continue to use it until there's no more updates or knock on wood, it breaks. [...] The camera is amazing on this thing with the 100x zoom. You can literally zoom in to the moon, it's insane. It's fast, not laggy, I don't really game but there's a dedicated game place where it stores your games and it makes them run better. [...] The wireless charging and reverse charging are cool features. [...] Especially if you find it at a great price. [...] The Bluetooth Spen lol it's a big deal and I can't believe Samsung didn't add it to the newest phone. [...]

I have a s23 ultra 512 GB which i Preordered when announced and its a beast. Never felt any drop in performance or battery life. Hope it will be there for another couple of years

[...] I had the s23 ultra, and I just traded it in December. [...] I loved my s23 ultra, but I wanted the flat display. Most of my phones had the curve display. [...]

[...] whole my life, i have new zenbook, a lot of audio gear, music was big part of my life, now i am more oriented on programming, automating, coding.. but Samsung s23 Ultra is the piece of technology that fascinated me the most, i just love this phone.. [...]

Super proud owner of an S23 Ultra. This is still a beast of a phone, and the One UI 7 update made it feel like new. I am not having battery or performance issues after the update, so thank you. If only Samsung could extend the software support and add one more year, making it five years instead of four, that would be happily accepted. [...]

[...] I have always preferred Samsung tablet, I decided to get a flip 6 it broke within a few months (regrettable). [...]

[...] I have been using the s10 plus for almost 3 years now, and im just blown away by this phone. [...]

[...] My Galaxy S23 Ultra weighs almost 300g with the case. [...]

Using mine since pre-order still strong as ever, battery got nerfed since the One UI 6 update and I'm on my 3rd charging port but I still love this phone

3 years later this is still a great phone for 10x quality better than the phones that followed. This will be my upgrade from the s22ultra now retired. Thanks for details so I know what to expect 😃

[...] TY A Google Pixel camera made that shot? [...] 🤯 I've been using various Samsung Galaxy 📷 phones the last 10 yrs. Currently on a Galaxy S23 Ultra that I got bc of the astrophotography option. [...]

I still use this phone and had it for over two years as well. It's a great phone and feels brand new to this day.

I get all my devices on a 2 year plan and my s23u is paid up in 1 month. Its the first time EVER i havent felt the need to upgrade.

Owner here and after more than 1 year i can say. It's absurdly amazing!

Still rocking my s23 ultra since day 1! Was my first upgrade in 5 years.

My green one still rock solid after 2 years. Very happy with it.

I've had mine for 2 years and plan on keeping it for at least another 4 years. I love it.

I purchased two s23 ultras at the start of 2024. [...] The updates from last year and this new one ui7 have made it even more of a joy. [...]

Still my S23U from 2 years ago...a few scratches but still works perfectly fine !

I bought this beauty in Feb 23 , still sharp and showstopper among friends

I still have the S23 Ultra for two years. [...] It's recommended to charge the phone to 80% for extended battery life. [...]

Still using my S23U since Feb2023, and no intention to changing it to anything else. Works just as it did on day 1. Good job Samsung.

Watching this with my S23 Ultra, been using this phone since a year and half.! The best I have ever used.!

I love mine more and more since one ui 7. Been using it as daily driver for more than two yrs..❤

I still use this monster too, i goto bed still on 28% - 38% battery!!!

I have a green one going on two yrs I love the color and just improved my battery life from the newest update so I'm good

Now I gain more confident on using my S23 ultra, almost a year i bought it...thanks!

In addition to my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra which I've had for nearly 19 months, it's now been 6 years since I got my first really decent phone by modern standards; a Samsung Galaxy S10e.

[...] 😎 I bought a $1,600 Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra a few years ago to take better photos that was A WASTE of money! I should've bought a decent camera & a cheap phone. [...] Takes great photos like yours!

Decided to go with an iPhone after having a poor experience with the Galaxy S23 Ultra the last couple years. I’m not a huge fan of iOS or anything Apple but I got it to easily FaceTime with my niece. We just did it for the first time and the headaches and restraints of iOS are worth it for her.

Now I run a S23 Ultra and after two years it still does everything I need. Maybe, but it is fully under Google and Samsung's control, and is choke full of spyware. You couldn't pay me to use a stock (Googled) Android phone for this reason alone.

My s23 ultra screen cracked twice in 2 years....upgraded to s24 ultra...so far so good

I also love it. I have been using it for a year but on one ui 7 I am charging my phone twice a day before the update I was getting a whole day on a single charge

Have a s23 ultra, iPhone is for people who just follow others. To be honest, android has better specs anyways. Android team whos with me?

I haven't felt compelled to give up my S23 Ultra. The 10X lens is just too useful, and I enjoy the way they did the S-Pen. My previous S21 Ultra is still in use and still going strong.

[...] My S23 Ultra got a software update that removed features and now I can't use YouTube. I can't just not install updates, because it will nag me constantly and leave a permanent notification at all times that I cannot remove. [...]

I'm almost at the point where I consider any type of firmware update for anything to be actively hostile and to be avoided if at all possible with the sole exception of patches for specific, significant security bugs.
