The Galaxy S23 Ultra is the top model in Samsung's latest lineup of flagship smartphones in the Galaxy S23 series. I haven't used a non-folding Samsung phone since I switched to the Galaxy S10, but I've been aching to use one ever since the first Galaxy Ultra phone debuted with its amazing Space Zoom photography function. The wait was entirely worthwhile.If you put the current model and last year's side by side, most people who don't regularly follow smartphone design trends definitely wouldn't be able to identify the changes between them.The Galaxy S23 Ultra, on the other hand, has a balanced boxy design that is comfortable to grip, and the display's decreased curvature is highly appreciated.
The most recent Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, however modified for Samsung, is found within the phone. It has consistently performed like a beast during our tests, getting the most out of the 5,000mAh battery for long battery life. The improved cameras, which include a 200MP sensor, are amazing, and Samsung's processing improvements are fantastic. It's too soon to tell whether the S Pen-equipped Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will stand out as the greatest Android of the year or simply disappear. Here's a tip: The crown is unquestionably in its sights.
Design and hardware: The same, but different
- Design is similar to the Galaxy S22 Ultra model but with subtle changes that improve its in-hand feel
- Samsung uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and back of the phone
- Very impressive display
The Galaxy S22 Ultra launched a new design language for the series last year, and it was mostly carried over for the 2023 model. The physical stature of the two models differs by the most minute of margins. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is only little heavier and broader. But the curve of the glass is one of the most obvious alterations from the model from the previous year. Samsung made the phone somewhat boxier but more pleasant to handle by reducing the curvature.
Although it may appear that making the edges less curved would make the phone less comfortable to handle, the opposite was true. The phone's sides now have more room because to the curvature decrease, which is filled by the aluminium frame. Despite being little, the adjustment softens the side rail's edge and makes it more pleasant to handle. Even with the design change, the phone is still fairly huge, so if you have tiny hands, it will still be difficult to hold.
