I think they should have a 2 year launch cycle for phones, itll allow them to further optimize last gen phones softwares even more and improve their overall brand image.
hardware is so powerful nowadays that I agree... More meaningful and stable iterations.
Well, Let them stick to yearly launch, we can switch skip one launch. I am upgrading from S 21 Ultra to 23 Ultra, and I can see a significant upgrade in a span of 24 months. My friends who upgraded from S20 Ultra to 22 Ultra felt the same.

Got mine in yesterday. It's a massive difference for me coming from an S10+. Happy about the new GB upgrade. Love how responsive it is and the speakers. When I need a new phone, it will probably be in 5+ years. So far a good investment.
I also have an S10+ and thinking of jumping to S23 Ultra. The only downside I see is that there is no 3.5mm jack which I use so often.
@@abdurrazzaqmohiuddin4930 Same here. My car doesn't have Bluetooth for music, just phone calls for whatever reason. The industry trying to force the 3.5mm jack out is the most annoying thing that just takes features from the customer. Then these companies either ignore the criticism or try to tell you how it's actually a good thing that the phones cost more and have less features, like they expect you to be grateful or something.
@@DigitalApex Yeah I hate that samsung is doing so much that when I bought my new phone I changed brands to xiaomi which does have a headphone jack not only that but also expandable storage which I would also like the option to have

I jumped from a samsung Galaxy A71 to the S23 Ultra.. I haven't had a flagship phone since the S4.. so this is amazing for me.. the screen is insanely better than my last phone, and better than my SOs iPhone 13 pro max.. the sound coming from the phone itself truly surprised me.. the capabilities of the S pen has been fun too.. all around very happy with my decision to buy this
BROOO same I also changed to the 23 ultra from the galaxy A71😂
@flawles It's a huge step up.. plus, my A71 wouldn't really charge anymore.. only certain charging cables would work, and it would only sometimes connect to my car. Plus, it was a pain in the ass to find a phone case that wasn't a cheap ass one from Amazon.. I liked my A71, but after a year, it started to suck.

I actually kind of like that Samsung hasn't changed their design. Like you said, the similarly to the previous model means that the internal improvements will take the spotlight and be more noticeable. It also prevents people from impulse buying a new phone just because it looks different, because I know there are people out there that do.
@@i_am_b491 what you've just made is an assumption. congratulations.
@@i_am_b491 We say the same thing when apple does that. Infact they hardly change anything for 2-3 years. And as he said, Some people buy phones based on looks. They will be the one to be pissed off. One more fact is that samsung fanboys care more about features than looks and public status unlike sheeps. So, not changing the look is least worrying part for us.

I know with 100 percent certainty that you did not intend this, but this is like 13 minutes of a Samsung marketing dream. I do not think anyone at Samsung could have done a better job marketing the S23 Ultra than you did in this video. In fact, I actually have become very excited to watch full reviews of the S23 Ultra, and I think I'm a bit jealous as an iPhone user, even with a 14 Pro Max. Thank you for a great video Arun and team (including Milo :)
Fr tho, I am genuinely thinking of upgrading my phone now.

@@ArturKwaszynbetter integration….what else.
I think s23 is much better than iPhone 15 pros
That's a fact
A really great idea for a new vid, would be to do a head to head comparison between all the flexibility and features of Nova Launcher and One UI on the NEW S23 Ultra. I am convinced that the experience with the Nova Launcher is much better, but I'd love to see it go head to head with the One UI's newest edition. I tried to stay on the One UI skin when I first got my S23U, but kept running into limitations which made me long for Nova. All the extra gestures, instead of just three, allow me to really use my phone so much more efficiently. And having more choices for app grids on the home screen and app screen was a must, instead of being limited to just a few choices on One UI. Please do a head to head, and let's see if I'm missing something or not. Thanks.
Nova is the way.
@@SVW1976Nova Launcher is great, but it seems to have become abandonware... 😕 Also the last major update (or one of them) did away with a host of features (scroll speed etc.) - I'm guessing it must've been a limitation of one of the incremental Android updates rather than an intentional decision to remove such an objectively beneficial mechanic from their launcher 🤷♀
"If it's not broken, don't fix it." I think Samsung took this quote to the heart, for the design.
Samsung fans praising Samsung for keeping the design pretty much the same after having criticized Apple for it for years:
@@Alanpoeta yeah but iphones literally hurt your hand when you hold it for long
@@Alanpoeta The rectangle-boxy-sharp edges is literally Apple going back to iPhone 4's. It's not an innovation.
@@disasterartiest671 Samsung started going back to their "previous design" on their S22 you hypocrite.
@@disasterartiest671 A slightly different design is never "innovation". I would rather have a design that I find comfortable every year than have the company change it all the time to be able to call it a new phone. It really doesn't matter at all if they're "going back" or not.
Currently using the 22 Ultra which I'm really happy with, will probably upgrade when the 24 or 25 Ultra gets released, will be a slightly bigger step up then

All phone companies are changing/upgrading their products less and less for each launch. But is a new model in any predominant brand even necessary? If they focused more on upgrading the software every year and only launching a phone when they reach a groundbreaking level of change and upgrades it would be really nice as well. Should make a video addressing this since you seem to have great impacts on the tech world. Love your videos btw great quality and thought put into each one!!!
i agree
like dude exept the 200MP camera there isn't even any noticeable upgrades in the S23...
@@bangedmybro the chipset alone is worth the upgrade, coming from a massive hater of Samsung. However, other than that, Samsung is basically robbing you.
@SouL you sound broke af the phone is much quicker at launching apps and reading files. And the camera upgrades are a huge deal because we use snapchat/insta every day. That 200MP camera alone is a big enough upgrade. It's a bigger jump than s21 to s22 that's for sure!
@SouL Also snapdragon for all markets??? This is the biggest upgrade we've had in 10 years
So, I'm sticking with my s22 ultra for 2 more years. I don't think the upgrade is that significant but it's cool nonetheless. For those getting this phone, I hope you enjoy it cause it's pretty cool.
That's because it isn't. Despite that this dude tells you how incredible it is.
I'm sticking with the s21 ultra haha
Yeah, I don't see enough of a difference between the phones. The biggest thing is the CPU. Don't much care for the space zoom because it's practically useless without a tripod. Storage has never been an issue for me, nor has the battery life. I'll wait until the S25 Ultra
Of course it's not, the S22 is only a year old
no headphone jack lol
Loving my new S23 Ultra in every single way. I prayed for improved video quality over my Exynos S21 Ultra which was crippled by it's low bitrate and excess noise and mushy detail dropout, and my prayers were more than answered. Low light and indoor video is now stunning with massively reduced noise and massively increased detail all thanks in no small part to a much increased bitrate. Even at 4K60. Outdoor video now oozes detail and sharpness without oversaturating especially at (now gloriously usable) 8K, and the stabilization is incredible. Thanks for making my dreams come true for once Samsung. It shouldn't have taken so long for your video to be in the IPhone's league though.
Upgrading from the phantom white S21 to the Cream S23 Ultra. Can't wait to see what changes they have made when my pre order arrives. 5 months later... this phone is awesome!
Other youtubers didnt make it look like an actual upgrade. You definitely made us know that they were lots of significant upgrades. Thanks Arun
That's because it isnt
A slightly better camera is not a significant upgrade lol
I think it's more a testament to Samsung lowering the bar consistently that any change is a welcomed one, even of it is worse in the long run. It's not significant or worthy of being called a follow up. In the conventional sense this would be called a revision and a sequel in name alone. Samsung are getting lazy af and focusing on the wrong things with cameras.
@@fallensach Slightly? Lol

Loved this review. Wondering whether I should upgrade from my Nord. My device is fast and has an amoled screen. Samsung didn't go for a 4k screen, which kinda makes it a relatively expensive upgrade.
Your explanation of pixel binning made more sense than anything else I’ve read about it 🎉
I have Note 20 Ultra, which I bought as a pre-order when it came out, and it's still 100% like the day I bought it, no lag, no battery degradation, and no crashing or anything like that. And I haven't reset it from the day I got it ;) I've been waiting for Samsung to bring out an Ultra version of the Fold, i want the S version camera in a the Fold format with an intigrated S pen.
Same story here
I also have the 20 ultra. But my USB port is dead and have battery degradation :( so upgrade time for me. Atleast it's a nice upgrade.
Exynos or snapdragon??

@drkhalidorth what cap? It's a whole different thing and experience going from an S21 Ultra to an S23 Ultra. Also what does COD have to do with any of this?
Confused about the last part, what do you mean by "Too bad my mother doesn't see phones the way we do, but atleast she's happy we got her the 14 Pro Max"?
@raddoobies yeah, that she goes by looks or what's trending at the moment, instead of actually looking at the specs on a phone. I was gonna get her an S23 Ultra also but she preferred the 14 Pro Max.
14 pro max and s23 ultra are equally good@@alexandro1757
***PSA*** Remember folks, just like with the S20, just like with the S21 and just like with the S22 series last year, the camera quality we see at launch will NOT be the same camera quality 6-8 months down the line. Samsung always updates the camera quality, this is pretty much expected now, so if the camera quality is slightly improved now over the S22 series, then expect that margin to widen considerably after a few updates once again. Samsung's AI models get trained as you use them, and the only way to improve the quality is to get these phones in real world hands in real world situation gathering that real world data. So in effect, we consumers help improve the quality of the camera, and I'm all for that.
Never expect future updates, speculation isn't good evidence to make such a large financial decision this is probably grounds for a good look at the cameras later down the line though
People don’t buy products with the “promise” that it will be better in the future. They buy it as is. While improvements are nice, we judge products as they are being sold. A “promise” for camera improvement is not guaranteed, something which ppl fail to realise
@@monetised4347 lol what do you mean by never expect updates 🤣🤣 Samsung always gives awesome updates making the phone better and better as u use it (only flagship ones)
@@thachronic100 Again, the evidence says it is a safe bet. Statistically there will be camera updates. Samsung has not slowed down in this department, they have sped up, and again, the evidence is all there to build statistics out of. The camera already appears great and better than the S22 Ultra, it can only ever get better still.
@@RobbieKhan people don’t buy a product for “promises”. If the camera disappoints and doesn’t improve, what recourse does the purchaser have? They can’t get a refund or compensation because Samsung might update to improve performance or camera function. Statistics don’t guarantee outcomes. Especially for a product which is thousands of dollars you shouldn’t have that mentality
It will be very interesting how the 200mp at 50mp pixel binning stacks up against the old 108mp one.
Yes
yes
Still using my s22 ultra and loving it ,not gonna get the 23 but perhaps maybe the 24 if I can get a good deal like I did with my 22, I like that Samsung kept the design , very proud that Samsung can go toe to toe and in some cases beat Apple.

11:54 THE BACKGROUND 💀
7:27 There is just a tiny example on this photo to show that the 100x zoom on the S23 Ultra has been somehow improved and that is that on the photo with the grip cover case. On the S23 you can see more of the rough texture than with the S22, and that is NOT only noise because on the S23 you can kinda make out that there are some white letters inside the case, whose say vertically 'SAMSUNG' , whereas with the S22, you only see a white line. The zoom with the face impressed me honestly. I did not expect that
this is actually nice. i feel like smartphone companies like samsung and apple have previously tried to go all out on their newest phones, but recently have stuck to very minor "quality of life" improvements. keeping the design more or less the same, really only upgrading along the path of technology improvements
Yeah because people aren't begging for stupid gimmicky features anymore, but they've also stopped complaining about all the features that have been removed over the past few years.
Changing the design of the phone body just for the sake of changing it when everyone loves the current design seems like a really bad idea. I’m so glad they kept that design because it’s just so clean. I love it.
I got one of these and its a powerful beast

Best smarphones reviewer along with mkbhd. Your videos are great, I think you need to adjust the lights in your videos. Thanks for your videos
Would like to see test shots with animals and wildlife. Interested in boosting from my S20 Ultra to the S23 Ultra. The zoom has come in handy for me, its not quite DSLR quality, but its great for quick shots. How well can it do night shots? That Astrophoto mode has me excited.
If this happens with the S23 I secretly expect them to go with the big surprise on the Flip/Fold lineup. Seeing other companies like Oppo making a bigger outside screen, imagine the combination of Snapdragon gen 2 and a bigger screen on the flip!
I heard rumours that they have developed a new hinge that can reduce the overall thickness of the phone as well as eliminate the crease running down the middle of the big screen, all of that while still having the same waterproof rating. That's going to be wild.
and dont forget oppo is able to make a fully closed folding phone (both screen in touch with each other when closed without any gaps at all) unlike Samsung folding phones. Hope samsung will fix that
@@stefanusrianto8781 that is probably because folds are still not dust resistance.

With the pixel beyond the grouped pixels is grouped micropixels which is why proper 200MP cameras take better photos because the surface area of the lens is bigger meaning you can get that perfect 200MP shot

Upgrading to this from the UK S21 Ultra next week, I can't wait ✌️
I myself was blown away and had a broken jaw when it dropped as soon as I heard the sound... Just wow!!!
I have used my S22 Ultra for a few months now, and I can't complain about anything. I moved from an S10+ so the jump was miles big and it really felt like it deserved the money even though I paid like 900$ for the phone. Seeing the S23 Ultra, I have to say that, even though I love the design of the S22, keeping it the exact same is not one of the best moves that Samsung made. Also, I bought the S22 mostly for the camera, which didn't disappoint at all. Seeing the new camera, I can say that it is definitely an upgrade, but I cannot say that it is worth to go from an S22 Ultra to an S23 Ultra. If you really need a better camera, for almost 1300$ it would be better to buy a DSLR and get better photos and videos, as the S22 Ultra has a more than good camera for day to day photos. I can see myself buying a new phone when the S24 Ultra appears maybe. Then the jump would be higher and the difference would definitely be worth it. I just hope that Samsung doesn't randomly decide to reduce the quality of the cameras with dumb software updates
No one is actually going to pay 1300 for it though. Verizon is offer 800 in trade in on my s10+, that's more than I paid for it 🤣

While the plastic reduction is not big, it might help push other companies to adopt similar policies if they think it is something that customers see positively. 1 company doing it might not be much, but if hundreds if not thousands starts following that is a significant impact

If they reintroduced the micro-SD card, it would make a real difference. That external memory is so useful for large media files, either downloaded shows to watch on the go (perfect unlimited 5G doesn't cover the entire planet) or when you are recording a long event - say a recital or concert by a family member [one of the layers of hell BTW]. But for me no expandable memory is a deal breaker, these days it adds a TB… that can be swapped out in a emergency.
Headphone jack would also be nice.
Micro SD and headphone jack are pretty much dead. Get over it. If 1tb in a phone isn't enough for you, then you need something different than a phone lol
@@resulnaki no.
I agree I'm a memory eater the only reason I haven't upgraded from note 10 plus 5g because it has expandable memory plus I have alot music and comic books in my 1tb expandable memory Bring back expandable
Sad that it looks like micro sd isnt coming back, but you can still use usb drives if you need to
Finally. Hopefully they will go back to the square look from the note's back in the mid 2000's. I've hated the rounded edging, but just love my notes, so I've dealt with the rounded edging. I'm just tired of sliding off the screen while typing and the screen protectors don't stay attached on the edges.
Why nobody is complaining when Apple doesn't change his iPhone design?! Personally the s22 ultra and s23 ultra design is the way to go.. the magic formula ❤
I got mine yesterday. Coming from a Note 10+ and the difference is really noticeable. The screen is far more vivid, thanks to the new and faster memory chips applications get installed much faster, the camera got better as well, especially in low light environments. For users with S22 Ultra this is probably not that huge upgrade, but for me it was. The Snapdragon is definitely one of the best features of this phone.
Which carrier?
@@jmackinjersey1 I got mine directly from the Samsung Germany webshop, without a contract.
Thinking of upgrading ftom a note10+ too.. does the s23 camera intergrate better with apps? Battery life? Heating?
Will do trhe same. Was it worth the upgrade?
@@domgdesign299 for me yes, technically I feel the diference when comparing with Note 10+, but the price is still a big discussion point.. If you are currently on a S21 or S22 generation, the impact is not that huge.
I mean just watching the video on highest resolution is just mind blowing 🤯 of how nice and smooth it is , crazy 🤪.
Glad to see the S23 will have some real upgrades from the S22. I'll probably still wait for the S24 or S25 though.
mad respect for the guy taking one for the team and suffering one more year until upgrading
Same here , im gonna wait for the big fingerprint sensor and at least 65w charging.
upgrades??? 😂
@@bangedmybro well its true depending on how you look at things. It has better camera , better battery , better performance etc. Is it worth spending 1449 for it? I got the s21 ultra so its not worth it.
@sToNe gARdEN better camera? S22 ultra still has a slight quality battery? Dude its literally the same 5000mah battery as s22 ultra
All round great phone and yes i noticed how better the speaker sounds. The sound really fills up the speaker, none of this tinny thin sound that i have experienced with previous phones.
I got mine yesterday. 💗 It's the best i ever had. 💓
I swear even if he doesn’t rickroll us in a video the mere expectation we have is a rickroll, the guy rickrolled us so much. Great job Arun!!
This is an incredible video, explaining the details we want in a tech reviewer.
So may I ask (in terms of photography) which would you recommend, the s23 ultra or iPhone 15 pro? Great vid! Thanks!
I've bought the s23 ultra cream colour and trust me it's the most beautiful colour of all with black camera lenses it looks stunning
I remember when I first got the galaxy s8 it was my first experience with night shot photos and I was blown away that it could see perfectly in total darkness where I couldn't see a thing, with no flash. Now it's pretty common on phones. I miss the night vision of the s20 ultra and note 10 plus though.
The S8 had night mode? Well I never, I had no idea and I had it for two years 😂
I love this content. Simply, but effectively covers everything a user needs to know about this phone. Keep it up Arun!
I just upgraded from my note 10 plus, as trade in values are too good to ignore. It's clear that it was the blue print for these phones . I feel like all I really did was get a noticeably better camera ..... and as you mentioned a sharpened design.. I felt for the 300 dollar price gap it was about time for a new device.
That's what I just traded in as well. That was a good phone with some specs that were ahead of their time for sure. It kind of makes me mad it was not supported longer especially for the price.
I'm currently using the note 10plus to type this Lol! Would you say it's worth the upgrade? I bought this brand new and its sad that they've discontinued it. I truly like the feel of this slim feel it has now. The ultra 22 and 23 just seem a bit bulkier to me and don't look as sleek and elegant. What's your opinion on having trading yours in? Was it worth it?
Very engaging video. You're really great at capturing the attention of your audience. Have subscribed and will use you as a source for future purchases :)
The production value of your videos is off the charts, a really really polished final product. Well done guys.
no headphone jack lol
samsung always did their flagship note ( now s series) right. its their rectangle design and their edge screen intact. thats the main reason why people kept coming back to it. upgrading other feature comes secondary and its a must to keep them in top notch shape.
Samsung Note and Samsung S series were two different lines/flagships. Now they have kind of merged them together.
On Samsung s23 ultra Nano-SIM and SIM or Dual SIM (2 Nano-SIM and SIM, Dual Stand-by) Which one would be the best?
Funny how I watch Arun's detailed videos about the latest flagships on a entry level phone from 2020, which is already on the verge of breakdown with numerous lags and sim tray malfunctions. But yeah, keep up the great work!
I remember upgrading from the S10+ to the S22+ and I am enjoying the S22+, but I just dislike how the battery is really bad at the last 10% where it drains significantly faster than the S10+. Also, the vibration isn't as strong as the S10+ for some reason where I sometimes miss calls on vibration or notifications.
Loved my s10e, I wouldn't consider a single Samsung flagship released after it.
Yeah I have s22 U the vibration is such a downgrade from the s21 U
I will go from s10 to 23 ultra!
The battery on the S22 Ultra is shockingly bad. I turned on additive battery and after a few days it just keeps battery saver on 24/7 to maintain charge for a day. It's awful.
@@nisharana6592 I got s10 as well, planning to get s23
Can't wait to hold mine on Monday. I love samsung
I have the S20fe5 and I am thinking about the S23. This is a great review and now I am actually more excited about upgrading 😊 😮 Samsung really thought about the photo features..
Not sure how many of you guys noticed this but the video was actually filmed in 8K!!! Good to see the improving quality of the videos....Hands off man!!!
My phone is 1080p so I didn't lol
Your content has really matured. I really like your reviews. You get really in depth for people who care yet laden it with layman's explanations. Well done man, this is top notch content 🤟
