5.0 out of 5 stars Xfinity mobile Samsung 23 Ultra Previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 that I've had since it came to market. It started having issues and I was actually still looking into the note versions as I love the s-pen. Learned about the s23 ultra and watched many YouTube videos before purchasing. I opted for lavender and the color is gorgeous. I opted for flexpay which made this expense doable. I got used to the expansive size really quickly.ConsI absolutely hate not having a standard headphone jack. Using a dongle socks big time and Bluetooth devices takes planning.My old note volume buttons were on the left and were convenient for thumb navigation. These buttons being on the right are awkward.The pen is now also on the left and is awkward as wellProsRemoved xfinity Sim from the note 8 and put it in the new s23 ultra was a simple maneuver.Battery life is amazing. A charge lasts till I go to bed and charge takes about 1.40.The display is very vibrant with lots of customizations.Audio sound is rich, loud and stereo likeThere's a lot to learn and even having it for 4 months now there's a lot to learn still. YouTube helps with that.I'm glad to say that I do not regret this purchase. 14 people found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great! No headphone jack or SD slot Works great as I'd expect from Samsung. A fully charged battery lasts me about two days. The screen color temp is a tad cooler than my previous Samsung phone. Plenty of storage space.The front camera gets a bit annoying, being surrounded by the screen. Usually, it's not too big of an issue. The only other cons are, no headphone jack or no microSD slot for my card. Oh well, this is the future, I guess. One person found this helpful

4.0 out of 5 stars Came with dead pixel, otherwise great Needed a new phone after my last one ran out of security updates. I liked my previous Galaxy S10E and decided to stick to a straight upgrade. Bought on Prime Day for 50 dollars more than the MSRP of the (oversized and lower spec) S23FE.Unfortunately, it came with a dead pixel from the factory and needed the screen replaced. Warranty covered it, but still sucks that it slipped through QC.Since getting that sorted, I'm very happy with the phone. Battery life is great, transfer from my previous device was smooth, it seems to run games well if you care about that in a phone,Only other issue is that it charges very slowly, and my wireless car charger that worked with my S10E's fast charging is apparently not compatible with the S23's fast charging. Not sure what changed there. No charger is included.5 years of security updates should get me well into 2028, by which point the EU's new rules requiring user-replaceable batteries will have kicked in and affected manufacturing worldwide, so now it's just a matter of maintaining the battery's health until B-day.As of this writing, it's approximately 2 months to go before the S24 is announced. Unless that phone introduces an unexpected game-changing must-have feature (QI2 magnetic charging is likely, but that doesn't matter much to me), this one will still serve you extremely well and should easily last until you can (finally!!) get a user-serviceable device again. 4 people found this helpful

4.0 out of 5 stars best Samsung phone I love the Samsung s23 it can play all the games and has enough storage to hold all the pictures of the kiddos I have not used half of the storage yet. The picture quality is better than any phone I have had now I am proud to take pictures with my phone. The video quality is so great I can not wait to catch my shows in the waiting rooms. I think my favorite part is being able to wireless charge at my desk.

5.0 out of 5 stars No lo sé Recibí el teléfono ya hace 15 día ahora voy hacer la reseña ya que como ven en la Imagen el telefo ya fue manipulado físicamente no sé si es nuevo o usado, pero la publicación dice Nuevo, ahora bien lo encendí y todo trabaja bien hasta ahí, ya que es un regalo para navidad. Esperemos después de navidad cuando mi hijo lo use como debe ser y que trabaje bien. Porque sino es así lo devolveré

5.0 out of 5 stars Good pictures in dim lighting This phone is rather fancy for me as I never had a Samsung phone earlier.The camera is awesome and allows good pictures despite dim lights.Face recognition is not that great. It doesn't work 9 out of 10 times for me.Fingerprint recognition only allows 4 fingers and works.I haven't explored all the features and I will post an update after doing so.

4.0 out of 5 stars Muy bueno Vengo de un celular OnePlus 5T (de adelante sera referido como OP5T) que lo adquiri en el 2015. Hay varias cosas que no me han terminado de agradar a la hora de cambiarme de telefono.Cosas que me gustaron:1. LA CAMARA. Totalmente increible. Soy mucho de tomarle fotos a las estrellas, luna, paisajes e insectos. Realmente valio la pena comprarlo por esto.2. Al jugar juegos que incluso son muy exigentes, no se calienta para nada3. La pantalla. No se como describirlo, pero tiene mucha nitidez, aunque no es muy brillosa. Ademas, como pro y contra, es demasiado demasiado lisa, es comodo usarlo, pero resbala, lo cual en ciertos juegos puede perjudicarCosas que me disgustaron:1. La huella dactilar esta en la pantalla frontal, mientras que en el OP5T esta en la parte de atras, con una cavidad. A la hora de usar la huella, cuesta encontrar correctamente donde poner el dedo, teniendo que realizar varios intentos antes de acertarle, mientras que en el OP5T al tener la cavidad, facilmente podias sentir que estabas colocando bien el dedo.2. El reconocimiento facial demora bastante a comparacion del OP5T y lo peor es que al dia de hoy, una vez reconocido no hay modo de quitar la pantalla de bloqueado, entonces debes esperar a que te reconozca y hacer swipe para desbloquear si usas este metodo3. El celular pesa muchisimo, un poco menos del doble que el OP5T, hasta cierto punto es cansado sostenerlo.4. No trae cargador, solamente cable USB C a USB C y esto fue un dolor de cabeza para mi porque tuve que incurrir a un gasto extra ya que no tengo ningun cargador de USB C5. El sonido es relativamente bajo6. Por el precio, hubiera sido bueno agregarle un protector y/o un case7. Para tomar screenshots es un poco complicado. Mientras que en el OP5T tenia el boton de apagado en un lado y el de volumen en el otro lado, estos estan del mismo lado, lo cual se me hace un poco incomodo de presionar para tomar screenshot. Y si es usando gesto, debes pasar todo la palma, lo cual tampoco se me hace practico. En OP5T puedes deslizar tres dedos de arriba hacia abajo para tomar screenshot. 11 people found this helpful

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a lot faster than my old S21 on startup same goes for charging. I'm totally blind! I got this to replace my old S21 cell phone. For the most part, I like Samsung Galaxy devices do to the louder external speaker over other devices like iPhones.But anyway when I got this phone; The button layout are in the same arangement as my old phone. For me, that was a plus. The external speaker running the Same TTS along with Talkback doesn't seem to be as clear to me. It sounds like it is a little muffeled and a little lower in volume even with the same settings as my S21 like when in a pocket.When charging the phone; The charging spead doesn't look to be much improved. You would think going from an 25W (S21) to and 45W (S23 plus) you would see a large difference on charging time. But looks to be only about 15 minutes or so difference. Yes a totally blind person needs to have the phone on to know how the phone is doing as far as charging otherwise the screen reader will not work. I do like the faster charging being I don't have to wait as long even that it is only 15 or so minutes faster. But again, this is an larger battery. Speaking of the battery! I get about 2 days and more on a charge. The old phone I was getting about 1.5 days. I mainly use my phone to make and receive calls. I keep the screen off being a totally blind person doesn't need that function on to suck power. But running the external speaker takes as much power to run as the screen does! lol.As far as turning on the phone to me seams to take as long as the old S21 to startup. This phone does work on AT&T network even on 5G. The bad thing is you cannot lock it to 5G only! But I'm guessing that this is do to Samsung and AT&T having an agreement that the phone must be set to Auto and the user cannot control that. Same goes if you are having trouble with cell signal quality and you want to use Wi-Fi calling! As long as you have an cell signal coverage! Wi-Fi calling will not work. Again AT&T not wanting people to use that as long as you are on there network. Other devices like Apples; Allow you to do that being they told AT&T you aren't going to do that. 5 people found this helpful

3.0 out of 5 stars Samsung support nightmare, Amazon service great, phone scratches easily, great battery, camera, cpu Update: (3 stars still). Replacement arrived, screens felt slightly different. Placed carefully in pocket every time, and checked the phone after each withdrawal. For the first few times all seemed well; however, a few micro and I mean micro scratches appeared. You can't see them in standard light but if you look at it like a crazy person like I did (after the first phone's issues) you can see them. There is no way this phone would last a long time on it's own. Either samsung has some really bad quality control or I have to say the new glass is definitely a flop. I gave a family member my old s21 ultra already but I kind of wishing I had it as I really dislike the screen protector feel, but I don't think you can safely own this phone without one (or get lucky with quality control).The phone's battery has been fantastic though, much more efficient power wise. The photos are naturally very good as well (not that s21's were bad though). The phone is slim, the pen is nice (I used a phone case with a pen attached to it for my old 21 so I was excited to get it internal). The phone seems to process things quite quickly and things look as good and as smooth as you'd expect for the price (good).The material that seemed to cause the scratch was a synthetic like material that lined the pocket on some icebreaker shorts (merino wool company). Both my s21 ultras have been stored in this pocket before (which I've owned for multiple years). The previous phone I'm not sure which material caused it but it had many scratches that were visible from different angles. I don't wear blue jeans which have those metal buttons, I only wear slacks, cotton, and merino. I don't work in a sand pit either, so whatever scratched these phones was simply in the pocket out of the pocket (was never dropped). I even have my Note 10s, zero scratches.There is definitely something disappointing with their new glass. I've read some people say its because it's more shatter resistant so it's softer.. so I suppose if you're a phone dropper that might be good news, but I've never dropped my phone.. I'd rather be able to enjoy the premium screen feel with a scratch free screen.One note is the s21 ultra screens feel MUCH harder / smoother than the s23 ultra, which has a sort of soft squish and very very slight resistance.Amazon's customer service has been great and I would recommend buying phones from them- whichever phone you choose.If you were fine with your battery and camera, didn't need an upgrade, and had a sturdy phone then I'm not sure I'd suggest buying this as it's very expensive yet fairly fragile phone as it defeat's it's own luxury feel by requiring a screen protector (or luck of QC).If you're a screen protector free type person, then I don't recommend the phone, unless you're also into some gambling in which case buy the phone from Amazon so you can at least potentially replace it without a nightmare.Working with samsung on this is just an exercise in pain, though if they turn around somehow I'll update the review again.Previous Update: 3 stars- After talking to support for a third time they suggested to have Amazon replace it so I'm not out of a phone (and it's under the 15 day warranty). Amazon customer service was very quick and easy. Will update again for better or worse. Old review below.Old review 1 Star:Phone screen scratches easily, like put in and take our of your pocket. I've had a s21 ultra for multiple years and the screen looks brand new- not a single scratch at /any/ angle of light, there is no screen protector. The s23 ultra after a few /days/ has multiple micro abrasions that you can see at certain angles (like tiny scratches). I'm not one to put the phone in the same pocket as keys or just toss it in the bag either. Potentially a manufacturing defect, but Samsung support has been bad. Couldn't make a service request through their members system so I contacted chat who made it for me, arrived at the center they told me to go, they said they can't do anything for me because they don't have the screen and even if they did they wouldn't help because it's common scratching (... No way that is true, unless the glass is worse than s21..??).It's certainly a fast phone and the pen is neat, the functionality of the phone is great, I assume it's a good batch bad batch thing. Otherwise If the screen is actually weaker then the older phone then.. don't upgrade. If you're lucky it's probably great. :/ 52 people found this helpful

4.0 out of 5 stars Hate the corners, love the camera I agonized over this decision-it's a lot of money! The first thing I noticed is the weight. It's heavy. Heavier than my S20 plus. The next thing I noticed is how awkward it is on my hand. Yes, it is a bit bigger, but the corners make it downright difficult for me. I'm an average sized woman with average sized hands, and this phone is just uncomfortable to hold. I even considered returning it because of the corners and waiting until the next one comes out. Having said all of that, I've noticed an appreciable difference in the photos between my S20+ and the S23 ultra. The quality is definitely much better. That will be a plus for my business. I have not even begun to explore the many features, but one of my new favorites is the gridline in the photos. For product photos, they are awesome. I'll update as I learn more about it, but you'll probably want to get a holder loop for it if you are not a guy with larger hands. 4 people found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes its better to just bite the bullet And get a flagship phone. My job provided S-series phones to me for the past 10 years. They were always a couple of generations behind but they worked fine. I just retired in June and decided to get a cheaper Android phone to replace my company S10 which had been working perfectly. I purchased a Motorola Stylus 5G and it's been a nightmare. I live in a dead zone for cell signal so I need wifi calling and the Motorola kept dropping network connection. Even though it was using wifi for all my apps just fine I often wasn't getting calls or texts. And when I would go back to a good cell signal it wouldn't automatically connect again unless I restarted the phone. I found myself doing restarts one or two times a day to get network and if I didn't I would miss calls or texts from people who said they couldn't get a hold of me. I remembered this happening once before when my job gave me a mid grade A50 and it was so bad I had to return it and ask for another S series. So lesson for me is just get a flagship...even if it's an older generation it's still going to work and age better than a mid grade. That said, I really like the S23+. I doesn't lose network, works flawlessly, is a perfect size and is easy to set up. Hopefully it ages as well as my S10 did. I could probably still be using that if I had it. I do miss having SD card options but there is enough memory to house my entire music collection without making a huge dent in the memory and higher end phones are discontinuing SD cards for a reason. I got this phone 20% of retail so if you wait you can save some money. I wish I never spent on the motorola in the first place. Budget phones might be fine if you live in a good area with great reception, but for me the two I've tried were nothing but a waste and a pain. This 23+ however, is a great phone. 23 people found this helpful

4.0 out of 5 stars On screen finger print fails miserably Upgraded from Galaxy S9Pro. Finger scanner on back of the S9 worked flawlessly. The on-screen finger scanner on the S23 Ultra works about 20% of the time. Face scanner works if your face is well lit. Seems like I have to enter my pin most of the time.A few of my apps continually ask to turn on notifications even though they are set and the app works correctly. Don't know if that's a phone issue or a app issue.Other than that good phone. One person found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars Never going back to iPhone. The best phone I've used in a long time. Was using iphone 12 pro max previous to buying this one. Seller shipped quickly and arrived safely. Battery life on this phone is insane, quick updates, not as bloated as samsung phones used to be and great display.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very solid flagship phone I got this phone on sale, $200 off, 256gb version. Samsung doesnt offer a 128gb version on the ultra, which is bogus in my opinion. Amazon prime offered same day shipping, which was nice. Phone arrived intact and fine. No problems with shipping.The build quality of the S23 Ultra is very solid and feels good in the hands. The matte finish on the back is very nice and smooth, leaves no fingerprints. The screen feels really good and smooth. The s pen is nice to have, but I find that I dont use it that much. Its nice when taking photos you can set up the phone and press the s pen button to take the photo when youre ready. Speaking of the camera, the photos are excellent quality. This phone is equipped with a 200mp camera, which takes some very detailed and clear photos. I would say this phone has the best camera compared to every other phone. This phone is equipped with a 5000 mah battery, which lasts the whole day. The fingerprint sensor works 98% of the time, when my hand is very dry it doesnt work as well. I havent tested facial recognition yet so I cant speak on that. The screen is 120 hz, and looks and feels very smooth.The android skin this phone uses, OneUI, is one of the better android skins on the market. The customization of this phone is way better than IOS in my opinion, you can do so much more. One thing I dislike about the os is that after every time i swipe up to exit an app, the samsung quick access wallet app pops up in place of the spot where I use to swipe to exit apps. I find this very annoying and I'm not sure where to disable it. One other thing I dislike is this phone requires you to have two different accounts with Google and Samsung, whereas with iPhone, all you need is an icloud account.Screen protectors are hard to put on this phone because of the curved edges, so be mindful of that.Overall, this is a VERY solid flagship device, if youre in the market for a new cell phone, this is the phone to buy. 26 people found this helpful

4.0 out of 5 stars Good as expected It is an investment that should last 5 years. So come back in 2029 or 1 Jan 2023 and review if this was worth the investment and weather it delivered value for long term. Given this a device like this should be worth zero in 2030, but it should still be operational

4.0 out of 5 stars Great quality phone, but still not worth the price tag. This would have got a 5 star review if Samsung would have included a proper cable and charging block for the $1200 price tag. With that out of the way the star features of this phone is the Camera, OLED Screen and the S Pen that can also be used as a remote when watching videos just like a magic wand which I thought was really cool. The quality of this phone is Ultra Premium and very responsive and snappy. I took my old sim card from a Tracfone and slapped it in the S23 Ultra and it just worked. This phone does not over heat, it might get a little warm if gaming or something other than that this phone is near perfection. Oh and one more thing you could literally make a movie with this camera it is that good. Just my opinion but this phone should be priced at $800 to $900 tops. This phone will not disappoint, it is a beautiful piece of engineering. 7 people found this helpful

4.0 out of 5 stars Beast Got curious about this beast of a phone so got one, talk about customization, holy moly, currently using a 14plus and said let's give this a go. It's indeed is a beast. Fast, 5g works perfectly, easy to use and to navigate. I've watched about 4/5 YouTube vids of tips and tricks on this thing. I recommend you all do too. One Star OFF because fingerprint and face unlock don't always work, but at the end its still a beast. Can last allllll dang day. Try one out yall.

4.0 out of 5 stars decent phone with the typical gotchas Switched from an iphone 8 plus to the S23 (vanilla) due to the pricing vs iphone 14($799). Got this at $599 on prime day. Amazon's competitor also had a sale earlier in the year. It is new, and when i registered with samsung said the warranty is good for a year. That means that this is really a new phone. It is hard to tell these days which vendor is selling new, and which ones are used (climate pledge friendly...renewed :) .It is impossible to search for NEW . That means that it is the US version phone (one sim slot, and one esim). I have not verified esim.The audio through the bose soundlink is a little different from the apple sound. I am tinkering with the synthesizer(hard to find online examples). I cleared up the echo noises, but still need to work on the bass. There is about a 30gb memory hogged up by samsung setup and bloatware. Still having glitches with whatsapp history through the smartswitch cable transfer.The camera is better than the iphone 8plus, but not sure about it compared to more up to date phones. at 30 x and a distance of 8 feet away, the image is less detailed than if you are 3 feet away with normal zoom 1x. But at $599, it is great. I will have to learn this camera system better. Minor video games, surfing will work for a day and a half(same as iphone 8 plus) playing candy crush saga, scrabble, solitaire. With a 25watt charger, it takes about 45 minutes to charge from 45% to full charge. Wireless charging is slow with the phone case and wireless charger. 25 watt plugin and 10 wireless charger). Fingerprint works so so (reset it when i put on a new screensaver ) and have not tried the facial recognition. The touch times out after 5 attempts. setup the index finger and thumb for both hands. I bet if I go into the Samsung store, an app guru can clear up most of the little gotchas. 16 people found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars A great phone I have used many samsung products and this as my spare phone works beautifully! Fast, reliable, sturdy, a pretty good camera that even impressed apple users lol. I personally have a s23 ultra for my normal phone as I have big hands but this fits nicely into anyone's hand or pocket. If you want a phone you won't have to replace for 10 years this is the way to go

4.0 out of 5 stars About what I expected-not unhappy Reading the reviews, most of the low ratings mentioned facial recognition and fingerprint reader as not being all that great. What's new? Out of the past smartphones I h ave owned which were mostly Samsung, this one is no worse and not all that much better. I have never had a lot of success with either of the features having to do with security. I have redone my face about 20 times and it's hit and miss. As to fingerprint, about the same. So if neither works from the start I simple enter in the 4 digit pin. No big deal. As to battery life, I find it improved over the previous Galaxy S10e I was using. I am not disappointed in my purchase and firmly believe others reading the reviews, don't let the 1 and 2 star reviews guide you. I think this is a fine phone and will see going forward if I feel a need to change my review. 3 people found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars Was hesitant, but... I was a bit hesitant to buy an unlocked phone from Amazon, but it was legit, and I was able to do a one year warranty with Samsung. Not only that but I absolutely love the phone. 5g is a game changer as well as super fast charging, and shared charging. This is coming from someone who has never had an S series phone, so do with that what you will lol. Bought my husband one for Xmas. The lavander is a nice color and it beautiful in clear or clear cases with designs. Battery is great as well. On some days I work 12hr shifts and still have over 70% when I leave work. If you are wanting a great camera go for the ultra. If you are looking for a great phone, this one checks the boxes for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best phone ever for me But - This is a beautiful phone. My best one ever. Color, screen resolution, more features than ever. Hope I get another six to seven years of enjoyment as I did with my S9+. There are two discrepancies that I noticed right away: The phone unlike the past comes with no charger. Can't believe they would not provide one for the price we're paying. Secondly the very first direction is to remove the sim card. I could not get the tray to open so a hasty call to my provider saved the day when they provided a digital SIM. I love this phone and do not want to go through a terrible Christmas return. A You Tube video shows a couple tricks to get it open so I will leave it alone and enjoy my new phone. Might I suggest that Samsung check this feature when packing these phones. With all said this is a beautiful and exciting new phone and I'm looking forward to years of enjoying it. One person found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars Smaller than I thought I got this for my wife for her birthday. I have an s23 ultra. I knew it was smaller but the didn't imagine it was that small. To me I felt like going back to an older version of phones. Didn't realise they still made phone that small. On the other hand everything else is A+ quality. My wife loves it because she has small hands but coming from an A21 which is much bigger, I know she has some reservations. Again the quality, performance and style is rapidly winning her over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Black Friday Deal and Price Since it has only been a few days, I hope all this stays true.Pro's: Unlocked, nice screen and visuals, finger print reader so far so good, nice they allow a code as well just in case. Battery life so far is excellent getting 2 to 2.5 days on a charge and I use this always. Transfer of data from my old S8 to this was seamless, took about 40 minutes. Had to run to Verizon for the 5G Sim card (free by the way at Verizon if you're a customer) who also helped me activate the phone.Since I am still figuring out what all I can do with this phone, I don't have a lot to report. It is a large phone which will take some getting used to, but seems to have what I need for battery life and memory. I did not purchase for the cameras, though anymore this where the money is on these phones, guess I'll have to start taking more photos! Only thing I would say is make sure and get a good protection case for it, as these are investments anymore. One person found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Smaller phone I have been a Pixel and Samsung fan for a long time. I LOVED the fingerprint reader on my Pixel 5 and hated it on my Pixel 6a, so I researched fingerprint readers to make this decision between the S23 and the Pixel 8. In several reviews, the type of reader on the S23 was lauded, so I went for it. I am somewhat disappointed, though it is definitely better than the Pixel 6A. That aside, it is clearly faster than my Pixel 5 and only slightly bigger. It does everything well. We will see how it does with android updates.

4.0 out of 5 stars I mean what is this camera though?! But also know this: Okay okay so you know what you're buying this phone for: the camera. Or perhaps lots of other reasons too, but hot dang, the camera though. I'd say as a professional DSLR photographer that this is as close as it gets to having pro capabilities on a phone, but that it's still not quite there yet. On a DSLR you've got quite a big dynamic range of light and dark and color and everything in between that gets snapped with a photo, whereas on this phone it's probably cut in half... but it's still the best dang thing we've got in the form of a phone. I find myself actually snapping more phone pics than Nikon DSLR pics these days honestly, since I bought this thing.Otherwise? Processing power is bar-none speedy as. Far better than the iPhones I've been toting everywhere for years. Interface is easy to figure out, even if you're indoctrinated to the Apple world. Storage space is big (on the 512GB), and I back up on MS OneDrive, so it's no biggie anyway. Lots of apps to choose from since Android is kinda like how Windows is to OSX in terms of what's available to you. Screen is a monster which is awesome for visibility and workability, but is still just fine in a standard pocket and doesn't feel cumbersome. Wi-fi adapter is snappy. S-Pen is super cool! Audio is bomber.I suppose my only complaints are:(1) that the 'adaptive brightness' mode is obnoxious in that it does work well to alter screen brightness per lighting situation but it sucks that the brightest the phone can get is only available in that particular mode... so if you're in changing lighting situations and you're annoyed that it won't just be bright all the time, deal with it. This is the pits with certain photography situations when under shadowfall.(2) The phone wants to automatically send text messages via RCS or whatever which is wi-fi only and so sometimes if you or the recipient is not on wi-fi at the moment the text fails to send. Sometimes you have no idea when this has happened until later when you see a note that 'message has failed to send.' Ugh. You can however set options in text threads to 'SMS only' which is via 4G only.(3) This isn't really an issue with the product so much as an issue with current tech, but a sort of 'buyer beware' notice: the aperture on these phone cameras is so shallow that it compares like a candle to the sun in terms of all around image focus per phone to DSLR quality. I will say I am tremendously impressed with how far phone cameras have come, but that it is still wounding that phones can't overcome this obstacle.Anyway, buy this thing. You will NOT regret buying this thing. That is all. 10 people found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best! Start to finish, this is an absolutely incredible phone. Previously having owned the S22 Ultra, which was also spectacular, I couldn't be more pleased with this model.If you've never had an ultra model, you need to grab this.If you're coming from another ultra, the upgrades are noticeable, but not revolutionary. While the front camera technically dropped MP from the 22, the actual sensor and software prove it to actually outperform it.You really can feel the power behind the device when switching between various memory intensive apps. It stays quick and snappy, never taking a moment to breathe or needing to catch up.I personally go into dev options and turn up the animation speeds. I also grabbed the nova launcher to really take advantage of just how much real estate you have on this screen size, but the stock launcher is definitely past acceptable!The S pen is used every single day for so many different little things, the least of which is drawing.I could go on about how much I'm in love with this thing, but that doesn't really impress upon you just how good it really is. Grab it and you won't regret it... AND GET A FREAKING CASE AND SCREEN PROTECTOR. One person found this helpful

3.0 out of 5 stars One grand for a phone and I still have to buy a charger??? I've had this phone a day so I obviously haven't had it long enough to give a full, educated review of it. I'm writing this review because I will most likely be returning it.First off, I'm coming from an iPhone SE and you could easily hide that phone inside this one. I knew it was big, but this might be too big.Coming from iPhone where everything is intuitive, I am struggling to do even basic stuff on this phone like see the weather without having to just look it up in a browser. A lot of this stuff is to be expected and I don't knock off points for not knowing the UI. It just feels like it could be a little easier for new Android users to figure things out. The absence of a home button will take a lot of getting used to.The fingerprint scanner works great. So great that I had my wife try to open my phone using her print, which it didn't work. It's just sometimes I can barely touch the scanner and it will open. I think this is great. I haven't set up face recognition as it's a feature I just can't see messing with.I thought that it being an Android phone, using Google apps would be seamless. But I'm having to log into each Gmail account and re-log any time I log out, even though on the computer, I'm logged into all of my Google accounts and can switch between them easily. Same with YouTube. So far, this phone is acting like it's day one every time I want to switch to another account.Battery life has been good so far. It had 50% when it arrived and it's down to 42% after almost 24 hours. But battery life on all new phones is miraculous, though. A year from now, it will struggle to make it 4 hours of heavy use without needed topped up. But topping up isn't something Samsung thought about as you don't even get a charger included. I won't be able to charge this phone until my I order or go buy a charger. I didn't see this when I bought it, so I'm to blame for that ignorance, but when I read it was to cut down on e-waste, I knew that was a load of bull. It's the same reason my wife's Kia didn't come with a spare tire: everything is a-la-cart these days. My old device, packaging, charger and phone case are now waste, but you're concerned about ONLY the charger? I can't reuse my charger. Because Apple has to be a special snowflake and use lightning. Which they are doing away with I believe, so I would have had to buy a new charger even with Apple because everyone is moving to this new format of giving you most of the things you need, but not everything.The phone is good I guess. It looks amazing. You set the resolution between 720, 1080, or 1440 to save on battery. It's snappy and fast. Calls are clear but I was on Wi-Fi at the time so who knows what it sounds like out in the wild. Plenty of customization options ofc. I like that it has a reboot option instead of power off only like the SE had. The problem is, unless I'm doing it wrong, the button combo to power it down, is the same as taking a screenshot. I've taken quite a few needless screenshots while trying to master the timing to get to the power down/reboot option to pop up. Supposedly you can take screenshots by waving your palm across the face, but even after enabling this feature (which is off by default and in your s-pen settings), I haven't been able to make it work even once.I'd say this phone is powerful enough for desktop gaming and probably has a lot of content available for it, but this charger thing that everyone is moving to needs to be pushed back against.Having customers buy a charger from a 3rd party doesn't cut down on waste, it just fattens their profit margin. 11 people found this helpful

4.0 out of 5 stars Dramatic battery life improvement over my S8 The only reason I decided to replace my S8 was that the battery couldn't make it through a day even after having been replaced. I picked this phone because it has a small form factor similar to the S8 and can do induction charging unlike the A series. I did a direct comparison of battery usage between my S8 and the s23, and after being used equally for many hours, the S8 was down to 23% and the S23 was at 63%. One nice feature of this phone is that you can set an upper limit for charging, which supposedly protects the battery. Mine is currently set to stop charging at 85%.My biggest complaint about switching to this phone is the limitations for transferring apps. First of all, the transfer process takes a very, very long time, and none of the login information or passwords transfers, so you have to log into each app and, in some cases, go through a few additional steps. In this regard, I have to admit that Apple is the best company out there: you can transfer from one phone to another and immediately have the new phone do everything the old phone did without any glitches.I would also say that the phone is too expensive. It would be a bargain at half the price. Again, the only reason I bought it was that my S8 couldn't make it through the day anymore. Otherwise, I don't think the features of this phone are in any way superior. 6 people found this helpful

Mutltiple attempts pressing down the lock button to turn it on regularly, and volume down button along with lock button. I am returning it and getting refund. I had ordered two, cream colored and the other phantom black. The phantom black works perfectly so far. Great phone just wish the cream one worked great as well. Disappointed as i was excited about this arriving.

It's the single most useful item I own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised Was unsure about the small size of the S23. After a few days I discovered that the size and shape actually make handling the phone easier for my XL hands than thinner, sleeker looking phones that I constantly dropped and broke.Phone performance has been excellent for my needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung Android Purchased this for my daughter as we haven't had new phones in more than five years and I wanted to get new phones before our old phones died. She loves Samsung products and is really enjoying her phone. The clarity of her photos and the amount of memory on board are both positives. The stylus is a neat addition. The lack of ability to add a micro SD for more storage is unfortunate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of the line I will dislose upfront that I am likely an android fanboy, whose never had an iphone. However, I did seriously consider switching right before getting this S23 Ultra. Heres why I ultimattely went with Samsung this time.I have stuck with android, and used many over the years. Droid Razr, Nexus6P, Pixel2, Xperia I 3. I am familiar with and like the useability of android. Just how it is. MAIN USE: It was important to me I get a phone that can meet my goals of retaining media. I was able to move all my music files and photos collections rather easily to the S23. About 2400 songs, and favorite pics and videos from all my phones. It would have likely been a nightmare if I switched to iphone. Something about needing itunes or whatever, on a PC. No thanks. And i use a 3rd party music app and bam, phone is my main music collection.In my research, and knowing full well, Samsung is the android leader that Pixel wants to be. I have no illwill toward them, just acknowledging Google desperately trying to catch up. Samsung has the specs, the hardware, and top camera above all. They have the brand too stand behind as well.CAMERA: I love how great the camera works. It really shines when outdoors is good lighting. Videos come out crystal clear. I know some of my iphone friends may have taken a doubletake at the quality when seeing for themseelves. Has slowmo, superslow mo, wide angle, zoom, you name it. SHots still come out great even zoomed. Not blurry like my previous phones with a zoom lens.BATTERY: S23 is fast charging when using the right cable and plugin charger, otherwise slow trickles if using a "slow" one. Battery seems to last me 2 days, but I do not use my phone 24/7 on super brightness. It would last longer if I didnt use it at all during work, but I tend to play music so of course.SCREEN: Its a nice big display alright. Not 100% sure, but i think bigger than newest big ihpone? Nice and bright and clear. Phone is fast, and works well.THE BAD: Here re my legit criticisms of this phone. NO headphone jack. I know its old tech, but having nice wired phones be relegated to pc use is meh. No SD card slot. As media focused as I am, I hate that sd card slots have been phased out. BRING THE SD CARD SLOT BACK.OVERALL: This S23 Is a great phone. Despite the industry ditching sd cards and headphone jacks. IMO, likely the best android brand today. Pixel would likely be the close 2nd place. This S23 is frequently on sale due to the next Galaxies coming out, and is ultimately still cheaper than comparable iphone equivalents. If you want top of the line, its this. 18 people found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this lavender brick! I got this as an upgrade from my S20 fe. I had my hesitations but after using it for a couple of weeks, I can say that without a doubt, this was a worthy upgrade!I got it while it was discounted and opted in for the monthly payment plan, which is going smoothly. The sound quality is far superior to that of my other phone but what I really like are how much more capable this phone is, from it's S Pen to the photo editing features, and the high capacity RAM, which allows me to use several apps at once without having them close on me after much inactivity or lag on me.It also has so many more features that can be tweaked in the settings and I love how you can change the sizing format of the homescreen to fit more apps there. There's so much that can be done and used that I guarantee you'll need to watch a couple of YouTube videos to see the full breadth of what this thing can do.And the camera is better than any phone camera I've used. The zoom is sick. You can tweak the settings in it to get the capture quality you like. The battery life is also far better and out performs the S20 fe. You can use the battery saver features to stretch its life after each charge.If there's a downside, I'd say that finding a screen protector that will work with it and allow you to use the fingerprint unlock function at the same time, will be tricky. It took me 4 purchases to find a decent screen protector that doesn't feel like thick plastic and doesn't pop right off because of the curved screen. Even once I found a functional one that felt good, it occasionally gives me issues with fingerprint unlock.In short, the pros far outweigh any cons. This phone for me is the best on the market as of this date. It doesn't have me missing my S20 fe one bit! 14 people found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an amazing device This device is perfect for most people. I'm not really into huge phones so I got the smallest size - which was the Samsung S23. After having this phone for several months, I got some strong opinionsFirst, this device has really good camera quality for most people. There is often this superstition that android phones have bad camera quality, but for my daily use this is perfect. Sometimes the camera has a hard time focusing on objects up close, and may have a slight shutter lag when taking pictures, but these are concerns which only matter to photographers. The phone camera also comes with 8k 30fps, which isn't needed for most people, but it exists in case you need to knowSecond, the fingerprint sensor is mid. I had a hard time with the fingerprint sensor (may have been because of my screen protector), but I found ways to overcome the difficulty. The first thing I did was re-register my fingerprint when the screen protector was on, and record several instances of my finger. The sensor, despite being ultrasonic, may take a while to recognize the fingerprint. It may also get some time before you get used to the sensor, as it may take a while the first couple of weeks.Lastly, the display is AMAZING. Having upgraded from a 2 year device, I thought the display would only be a slight improvement. But no, it comes with 60-120hz display and I have seen almost zero lag when watching videos or playing games. (Btw this phone plays high performance games like genshin impact like a boss).This is easily a phone which I would give a 10/10. After getting used to this device, the drawbacks don't really matter or become relevant. 8 people found this helpful

4.0 out of 5 stars I love this phone!!! Don't listen to the one star haters. This phone is great. The screen is large and very bright. The UI is snappy and the battery lasts all day. I average over 9 hours of screen on time. That is impressive given the size and brightness of the screen. Takes roughly an hour to charge from 10% to 100% using an Anker 45 watt fast charger.Was able to upgrade to Android 14/One UI 6 after initial setup. Smart Switch was able to transfer all my apps, messages and photos as well. It even transfered active logins for certain apps. Which was nice.Stereo speakers are nothing special. They sound exactly like the speakers from the cheap A series phones. Not really a big deal to me as they are perfectly fine for videos. The speakers are not very good for music so I use my Galaxy buds or a Bluetooth speaker.Lastly, the fingerprint scanner that others have complained about. It takes some getting used to. It's a bit frustrating initially but once you get the muscle memory down it unlocks I'd say about 98% of the time on the first attempt. Train as many prints as possible. It definitely helps. Also, turn on increased touch sensitivity in settings.This phone is definitely worth it. The flat screen is nice and the size is perfect. It definitely has some heft. Making it feel premium. Which can't be said of the A series of phones.If you are on the fence, just get it. You won't regret it. 10 people found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars Good alternative for prior LG users I finally broke down and got a Samsung. For many many years my phone brand has always been LG. I have always found LG phones to be the best value for money. They pioneered features way before other brands; like tap to wake. They performed just as well as iPhone and Samsung but for much less money. But unfortunately LG left the smartphone market a couple of years ago and my LG V60 was finally showing it's age. I was finally forced to get something that wasn't LG for the first time in almost 2 decades. I was set and ready to get the one plus 11 and I had even purchased it and everything. The next day I discovered it had no water resistance rating nor wireless charging. One by itself wouldn't have been a deal breaker but lacking both features in tandem are unfortunately. Once I realized that, I cancelled my order for the One Plus. Normally I wouldn't consider Samsung, as they are just as expensive as Apple, but I did come across some really good deals on Prime day. I had considered the the 23 Ultra but was concerned about the overall size and I wouldn't use the stylus; so for me the price premium wasn't worth it. So I went for the 512GB 23+. I use my phone a lot during the day so I wanted a phone with plenty of storage and processing power. So far it's been working great; very speedy, feature rich, user friendly, and responsive. My cell reception seems to be better and it connects to all my devices well. My one gripe is the face recognition and fingerprint reader usually don't work the first time, which is annoying. I wish they would use a dedicated sensor and not an in-screen reader. Other than that the phone is a good choice and a good value considering I got a pretty good deal on it. So far, Samsung seems to be a good alternative to LG. 22 people found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome advanced phone. I work in I.T. support and see too many issues with Apple products. I have had Samsung phones since around 2014. I have an S5, an S7 and S9. The S5 & S7 are retired now but still work. The S9 is still active on another line. All these have had "normal" lives, dropped now and then, survived spills and weather. It only made sense to move to the S23 series and I got this Ultra model mainly for the large screen to help with my old shaky hands. I used the Smart Switch app to move files from the S9 to this phone and it saved a ton of time. There are many manual things that need to be done to complete the switch but this worked well. This phone is awesome. The cameras are better than most of my stand alone digital cameras. The phone itself has great clarity and the cell and WiFi connections are very stable. 5G speeds are awesome but I normally don't play games or watch much video with this phone. All but a couple apps still work that transferred from the S9. A feature that I miss is the standard audio jack for headphones. Battery life on this phone is better than the S9, the wireless charging stations I already have work great and the display size is a major improvement for me and my clumsy hands. I highly recommend this phone. 9 people found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Star Phone Samsung knows what its doing.Pro's: Battery life, performance, UI, screen, software upgrades, charging speed, size, supportMeh: CameraCon's: NoneI owned the S23+ for 10 months. It is completely reliable and a great daily driver. Battery & charging was excellent, performance was superb, and One UI is now better than the stock Pixel launcher. I never had battery anxiety. It's a great phone to travel with or use for work. It's an overall excellent phone.I just exchanged it for a Pixel 8 Pro. The only reason that I switched is because I can't get behind Samsungs idea of picture quality. Many people like how they process pictures which is why I gave the phone a perfect score. I just like the Pixel's toned down and natural look better. 6 people found this helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down the best Android phone I like both iPhones and Android phones for different reasons and keep both in the family. The Samsung S23 is the best Android phone I've ever used, and that includes recent offerings from OnePlus, Google, Motorola and LG.Having used both phablet-style phones and smaller devices, I find myself gravitating toward the smaller S23. For me, it's just easier to grip, lighter and much easier to put in a pocket.Usually you have to sacrifice something between either speed or battery life. I'm happy to say this phone is both super speedy and has fabulous battery life despite the smaller size of the battery compared to the phablets. I can easily get through a day of moderate to heavy use, up to two days if my usage is a bit lighter.The screen is the best I've used on any phone, including the latest iPhone 15 Pro. It just has a pop to it with vibrant colors that don't feel overdone. Samsung's Android customizations are excellent and very helpful overall. Some complain about software bloat on Samsung phones, but this unlocked version doesn't seem to be loaded down.I'm not a camera expert, but in casual use, I find the camera on the Samsung S23 to be right up there with the iPhone 15 Pro. They are both very high quality cameras. You won't be disappointed. 14 people found this helpful
