Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
it pisses me off they ask over 1 thousand and cant even add EXPANDABLE STORAGE. I WANT MY SD CARD SLOT, lol fk these companies
It looks the same as the last years 22 ultra. Maybe a little tight works here and there but to me it's the same and I'm pretty sure other people see it too.
You can see the photos details by also just swiping up on the photo. Quicker than hitting the 3 dot menu
Why u lying. I can get this without the link
This is what I call a proper review. Testing the thing in the real world, camera, battery life... not in a room talking about megapixels and megahertzs and benchmarks. Thumbs up Shane!
Appreciate the kind words!
Top comment right here.
Why not both
@@ShaneSymonds does the s23 I have the lite performance mode from the fold 4 series?
@@kolkeet I did do both. Kept the hands on video short and to the point while other creators want to stretch out 1 hour of hands on time with the phones into 3 videos. I’d rather put my time and energy into real life use
This is the type of reviews I'm always looking for when it comes too samsung galaxy ... thank you!
Love it how you compare the actual photos taken. Let the other review the specs. What matters is the actual results.
What a top top review bro. This work ethic will pay off. Simpl yet perfect. Touched on things that matter 💯🇿🇼👌🏾
Thanks for this review, I just bought one aswell, my first smartphone ever, last 7 years i had no mobile, and i loved the freedom it gave me, i know sounds odd, but i really liked not being reachable 24/7 everywhere i go. Before that i had an Siemens MC60 from 2004 from my High School days, When the first generations of smartphones came out i kinda felt like "these things are still way to new, i probebly better wait a few generations before they get all the kinks out" and before i knew it, its 10 years later. The thing that suprised me the most when i did research on smartphones, was that they could have up to 100 or 200 Megapixels !!!, my old Siemens MC60 had a camera of 0.5 Megapixel... i kid you not. so this felt like an improvement of 200 to 400x better than what i had before, (my old sony digital camera only has 12.1 megapixels) so i was suprised these flat phones could already do 200 Megapixel, thats the main reason i went for this newer model, rather than an previous samsung generation. I felt so excited that i just bought one, that i thought lets look up for an video to see what i can expect, and what i should do first, thats how i found this video !!
Great review, Shane! You're the only one out there that's actually slowed down and taken the time to show in detail the flattened sides of the phone. I was curious about that part but everyone else seemed to just gloss over it. Also great comparison photos from S22 to S23. I'm also going to use your link to trade in My 22 Ultra. Thank you.
The more I am using the phone the more I am loving the flatter sides. Going back to the S22 Ultra feels odd with its very rounded sidings. The flatter sidings feel way better in the hand.
perfect review as I thought Samsung never disappointed it's clear as day that s23 ultra was promised as they said proud of Samsung 💜
Thoroughly enjoyed this review. Many thanks! I have this exact model and color pre-ordered. Well done. Cheers!!
I just received it. 512 GB and the same color! It looks amazing!! I switched from S10 plus. #teamsamsung ❤️
How did you get it so early ?
@@omarvasquez2721 pre-order and I got it for less money
Its not released until February 17...how?
@@mikenguyen2006 different countries have different release dates
Great review, love the detailed comparison with the s22 Ultra, so useful and informative
Proper review showing actual usage and unbiased results. I pre-Ordered the galaxy S23 Ultra and cant wait to get it 😆
How do you protect the screen? Is so curved like s22u?
Thank you for talking about the speaker quality and feel in hand - important qualities for a PHONE!
Great video. I think the S23 Ultra is what the S22 Ultra should have been. I'm probably going to trade in my 22 for the 23, and then keep it for the next 5 years. All of the small quality of life improvements, when taken together, seem to add up to a significantly better all around package.
Till next Year
I want it
Next year the whole foldable phones and expanding, sliding phones will take its mark whilst still holding 200 + additional more megapixel on other lenses that just one. It becomes more a killer but still not a DSLR killer
@@life5161u realise u don't have to upgrade every year,u can keep the same phone for the next 5 to 8 years with it fully updated to the new phones
I ordered the lavender one...can't wait to for it to come in...💕
This was a phenomenal review with authentic real world comparisons of both the S23U vs the S22U pros and cons to each other. I'm currently using an S22U and said I was awaiting next year's arrival of the S24U, but the more reviews I watch, especially the ones focusing on attention to detail and indepth specs like yours...has created indecisiveness on my part. The lavender S23U in 512gb is calling my name and I'm considering the investment potential for a beautiful S23U device.
Great video👍🏻. This S23Ultra is the best Galaxy Ultra ever 💯. I have all Ultra's , S20, Note20, S21 , S22 and now the S23 Ultra. I am loving it 😍. Thank you Samsung, you make me happy 🙏 .
I wasn't going to upgrade from my S22 Ultra but so glad I did. I liked my S22 Ultra but I didn't love it like my Note 9. The battery is better on S23 Ultra. It's smoother & faster. The sound for stereo & call quality better. I also noticed better reception. Less glitches. It's what the S22 Ultra should of been. I'm still testing out the cameras but so far so good.
@@joyfulone1974with the s23 series Samsungs the snapdragon chip was made for them so the chip could produce more power and efficiency while making the phone smoother and more snappy like what apple does
Nave S22U 12gb Ram, will keep it for now, maybe S25U, or S26U, because S25U will be sa e as S24U
This is the best review I've seen, thanks for taking the time
Fantastic comparison. I always avoid the ultras because I don't like big phones but I spend a lot of time taking pics in mountain backcountry and the s22 vanilla just doesn't produce the quality pictures I want and i always wish I had more zoom detail, so finally decided to go with the 23 ultra
Satisfied video! S23 Ultra 😍😍
Just the review I was looking for, thank you! Upgrading to this one (from my Note 10+) in Lavender, 512GB so definitely an awesome upgrade for me. Just pre-ordered mine, can't wait!
Same! Gonna miss the unique chrome back of the Note
Hahaha I have galaxy s9+, but it is time for this baby.
Same phone this shit
I have s10 plus ill ugrade in 2025
@@BEYOND-EGO Dude same here. I have the S105G Ill upgrade in 2025. We will see how the new Samsung S25 Ultra will be. The only thing I'm going to miss is the headphone Jack cable that you can connect in the hole that the S10 plus and the S10 5G has for the AUX.
An excellent first impression 👏 and nice comparison with S22 Ultra .. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for this and thank you for actually showing us the picture quality, this really helped me with thinking about getting the Samsung s23. Being someone who has always had iPhone and stuck by them I have recently started believing that Samsungs are better phones. I take pictures all the time anywhere I go so this is a perfect review to me. So you’ve turned me from iPhone to Samsung. Thank you
You joking right 😂
@Broly Assasin why would they be joking? If you step off the hype of apple and actually test it out you will notice a difference. I left apple 4 years ago never looked back
@@brolyassasin8354 You do realize everything you think Apple has said it comes out with Samsung has been doing for years lol
@@joshlawhorn for me it's all about the ecosystem. I buy Samsung because I use Windows PCs for gaming. If I was on Mac I would buy iPhones.
저도 아이폰 유저입니다 헌데 이번 23울트라받고 생각이ㅜ달라졌습니다 한국에서는 젋은층은 아직도 아이폰입니다 하지만 성능은 갤럭시 입니다..한국은 어릴때 8살이나 그전부터나 갤럭시ㅜ보급형을 사용합니다 그래서 중학생이나 고등학생되면 보급형을벗어나 아이폰으로갑니다 그래서 다릅니다 ..보급형 썻던 갤럭시 생각이없는것
Just got yourself a new subscriber, great content and review I loved it ,and now I'm gonna own one 👍
Very Detailed Info & Unboxing alongwith the comparison .Keep up the good work & Good Luck 🤞
Outstanding review. Ordered my green ultra.
I can't wait to see your full cases line up hands on for the Ultra!
Looking to post that video around 2/8!
@@ShaneSymonds Great 🤭🤍
Finally found a regular guy doing a review that doesn't have all kinds of statistics and information that is useless to us looking forward to more reviews
Awesome review! I’m buying this phone very soon for travel purposes. I’m super excited to take pictures with that awesome camera.
Brilliant review. Focusing on the day to day experience of an avg user. Relevant comparison to the predecessor. Please do a night time photo/video comparison with S22U. PS: we're getting our preorders earlier (from 7th Feb) here in the UK.
Looks like it will be a worthy upgrade over my three-years old OnePlus 8 pro. Finally the battery performance seems to be promising on a Samsung flagship.
Upgrading from OnePlus 8T+, haven't been excited for any releases until now!
Snapdragon version available in india ?
Same here, I have a op8t and the new one plus aren't as great
i still have my oneplus 6, im planning to upgrade when the s24 comes out
Good review! Thanks for keeping it simple.
This is so far the best review I saw. I like the way you compared the previous model vs new one.👍
Ok i am sold. Based on your detailed side by side review, i am going to pre-order and traded in my S21+ , thanks shane.
Great video, very helpful, watching from London
super excited for the full review
Not Lime colored 🤣 But love this review. Straight to the point. Rocking the S22Ultra. I got to play with the s23ultra and I can definitely feel some minor differences but not much. It's a beast of the phone.
Upgrading from an s9+, can't wait to get my hands on this. Mine gets delivered next week 🤟😆🤟
It's my first time watching your video, but I like how you break down everything and explain everything step by step. Deserve a thumb up 👍🏻 FR
I'm really excited!
im so hyped to get mine!
They were so close. They should have committed and completely squared off the sides. Would have added a little weight and thickness but it will definitely give it a more secure and rugged feel. I hope they square it off more for the s24
Great review. I'm glad I picked one up.
I still think the best form factor was the S10 5G. Width, height and the general shape was 😚👌🏽
Love the video! By the way, regarding last year's/the year before A series Samsung phones, are they going to be on sale? Or at least have a price drop? If so when do you think?
Much respect 🙏 👏 great review 👏. No yelling no bias
I'm currently thinking of buying it for primarily recording the videos.. This video was helpful, thank you so much
Great review! I am curious if the S-pen and other components are used from or are cross compatible with the S22 Ultra?
Brilliant review. I have had my S10+ for 3 years, and live it. It still holds up as one of the best phones ever, but the Bixby and power buttons have fallen off. Time for an upgrade, and I will be getting this one over the s24, as they are eliminating the curved display. I will buy the S23 Ultra, and just keep the S10+ as a phone for home usage, like for streaming sports, or watching KZhead.
literally me right now. have s10plus and getting s23 ultra. the s10plus has been a beast, probably the best samsung made
This is the best review I have seen for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It is a beast of a phone that I am hopeful to get in a few months. Also you picked up a new subscriber from this. Keep up the great work.
Should wait till the s24 ultra comes out
Very well made video. Had to subscribe simply awesome 👍🏿
Great video. Mine is coming this afternoon. And I ordered the green one and 512gb.. looking forward to getting it 😀
Thanks for showing the capabilities of that 200mp camera
Excellent video specially in terms of physical differences... great
Amazing proper and spoken with clarity and not that stupid sled talk everyone on KZhead is doing to sound important, your video was absolutely flawless and I'm subscribed great video.
Thanks for the kind words! I try to improve on the conventional tech video format in the best ways I can!
The Square Design & Camera Position is so Classy!!! I Love Ultra Series!!! ✌🏻😃✌🏻

Been using my S23 ultra for a week now, an upgrade from my s20+ and I love it so much
Was thinking that for it and iphone which one should i go for and i feel like s23 ultra is a way to go and not everyone is using it 😊😊😊
Thank you for showing all the details and for the review, I had a question about this device, are the top and bottom bezels of the screen perfectly level or is the bottom bezel thick?
Went in to a t-mobile to look at it yesterday, it's waaay more grippy without the case than my current note 20U.
I can't wait to get it! I've gone for the phantom black!🖤
Now this is what you call a review.😊
Great review 👌🏾
It's time to leave my Note 10 behind, really excited to pick this up in a couple weeks
Cant wait to get it, im upgrading from the S21+
Hi Shane, thanks for your video, one question, do you know what the plastic cover that the Samsung s23 ultra has on the right side under the buttons?
I'll be upgrading to this from my 2018 Huawei. But what worries me is the screen and scratches (from being in my purse, in and out of pockets with zippers)... I understand physical screen protectors (which have saved my old phone numerous times) is a problem with that screen finger print sensor? But are the original screen/glass so good these days that they are enough on their own? I saw a one-year-later review of the S22 Ultra and it had gotten a few minor scratches. I don't want those.. 🙈 My close to 5-year-old Huawei has always had screen protectors on the screen AND extra on the camera lenses and has absolutely no scratches or marks.
Great review!
Great to hear about the battery life
Best review so far
Just upgraded on Google Fi to the S23 Ultra from my still perfectly good S20 Ultra. I think the S20 Ultra was and is a great phone. I'm guessing the new phone doesn't have a factory built in screen protector like it did on the S20? Loving the new green phone and awaiting delivery. For $427 to upgrade after trade-in it was a no-brainer. After 3 years I've only used only 62 GB of my 128GB storage and never used the SD card. So the new phone with 512GB I should be good.
Nice review! Thank you!
I'm currently using my S21 ultra and I love it.
Thank you for the comparison between the S22 and s23 camera systems. I just ordered a 23 ultra to replace my Note 10+ and your findings were eye opening. I didn't think the difference would be that obvious.
Great video. Thanks you
Nice presentation!👍🏾👏🏾
Great video Shane
Fantastic review 👏
Excellent review ever!👏
Super guru! 👌🏽👍🏽 This phone is ❤️
Is that box design what they're going with in the final release? I think they could have made the silhouette of the phone a bit bigger.
Great video. Sold. Just processed my pre-order
well done with the comparison
I just preordered it today. They're giving me 1k trade in for my Note 8 I've had for 5 years. Also upgrading the storage to 512 for free.
Fire Review Brother 🔥 👌 Great Job!! I'm going to switch to the S23 Ultra either way my phone was cracked lol plus I want the 1T and you get the sim card back Damm enough said with that🙃 😅
Great video! Would you say it's worth upgrading from a s21 ultra?
i just got the s23 ultra in phantom black such a sick phone glad i got it :)
Buen trabajo la información quedas todo se entiende claro con lujo de detalles muchas gracias sigue así me suscribo a tu canal
Old school runescape!! Woooo!
Cant wait to get mines 😁🙏
Hold up, osrs flashed across the sceeen 😅 subscribed. Do you play with the pen actually tho?
Best review out there. I'm coming from the S20 Ultra and was looking at ordering the S23 Ultra. All the other reviews miss the mark. This did not, as someone else mentioned, this is a "real world" review. Appreciate it. Although now I kinda regret ordering the black over the green now. 😕 😅 As I pre ordered before watching this review. 😅 But thanks for the input.
Do you use tempered? Did it dropped your phone it was ok?
Same I just got this from my s20 ultra. Loving it
Wow these phones are truly powerful
Thank you for this review, I've been looking for something as good as my note 9 was & I think I may have found it. Thanks again for the review vid. 👍
I'm getting the black one tomorrow, really looking forward to it. I currently have the s10plus and haven't needed to upgrade it till now
A short preview of the S23 Ultra but very good . I was lucky today went to the shop and trad in my S22 Ultra and got the S23 Ultra . Been using it only a few hours and the first impression is finaly the Exynos is gone and i like that the S23 Ultra feels much more comfortable in the hand and the battery life is also better and the snapdragon 8 gen 2 does an excellent jobb so far i will test the camera performance tomorow so i cant say anything yet .
How many hours battery 🔋?
Congratulations sir you just bought the same phone twice 😅😂😂😂
@@brolyassasin8354👍👍👍
ayyyy old school runescape :D
Yeah I am coming from a one plus 7 pro and I already pre ordered the s23 ultra 512 /12 gigs of memory Can't wait till I get it
I just brought my s23 ultra 🖤🔥
That camera is amazing!
What about actual call quality or loudness? Bluetooth & WiFi 6e /7 stability test? Is the 1Tb worth the extra $400 for big files ? Or is using an external USB-4 nVme OK?
Just ordered!
