Huge thanks for checking out my unboxing and 4-day review of the Samsung S23 Ultra - hoping to get a proper full review live by the month's end, and cover the regular and Plus sized S23 as well! Also, please ignore any Telegram scammers in the comments - cheers!
Hello im a long time follower love ur work. I was wondering if did u do a review on the motorola moto g 32? i have a remi 9 that i choose based on your review a few years a go and i am searching for a new phone...i come a cross with a moto g 32 but i havent find ur review on it..have u done it? best regards from Portugal
I have it on pre-order... I have always gone for the top of the Samsung Galaxy S range. For once, it'll be good to have a Snapdragon based handset. I am curious to see how much the SoC improves the overall experience. Also, I am hoping for a big improvement in photo and video capture.
So glad it's Snapdragon for a change, I've been impressed by the performance so far - especially for a pre-release handset, I haven't seen any buggy behaviour
I can promise you it's a night and day difference 🩵 I received mine before the weekend and is such a big difference between this one and the s22u with Exynos that I had before. The Exynos variant felt like $400 phone but this one feels and operates like a $1500 phone.
Was debating whether or not I should wait for the S24 or just go ahead and get the S23 Ultra. Made the decision last night and pre-ordered. This looks very promising and could serve me for the next 5 years at least hahahaha. My S10+ (although still in very good condition) can finally rest in the hands of my younger siblings 😆 cant wait
This is me. Currently about to order the ultra,however going from the 20+ , my daughter currently has my s8 😂 so she is well happy to getting my 20+ as it's still going strong..
I only watch a few videos of the Samsung S23 Ultra and you are the only person who mentions sim card tray and water proof what I didn't know about. I am looking into in my next phone I buy. Thank you so much, keep up the good work!!
After debating last night, if I was going to switch from my iPhone 14 pro max. I finally pulled the trigger and placed my pre-order this morning getting the S23 Ultra in Lavender 512 GB for $500 after getting $900 for my trade in (really Awesome Samsung offers the 512gb for same price as the 256gb. Well Apple charges extra). And using my $150 credit I got matching lavender galaxy buds 2, and a lavender silicone case with a wireless duo charger for free!!! Sweet deal!
@@iedutul1 because I hate with being on iOS everything is locked down to their software and I think with android there’s more freedom and customization you could do with the phone etc. and I want that more. Also I will have larger storage 512 GB.

Since I'm under ACP, I need to go to AT&T because only Metro covers it if I want to stay under the T-Mobile umbrella. But I hear Metro can have your sim locked to your IMEI and I hate that. That's why I will never buy another iPhone after the 13s thanks to this esim only nonsense here in the States because I can travel a lot, my native country is mostly prepaid, and I do change from different phones a lot. I carry 2 through 5 phones daily. My guess is Samsung won't copy Apple with esim only until next year at earliest. This is why the S23 series intrigues me. I'm not dying to get any of them. It's another damn phone. A giant, boring slab one at that. The excitement getting a new "toy" wore off many years ago. Honeymoon phase. Love it. Get bored with it. Buy another. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. The main reason why the S23 Ultra is intriguing: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. From battery tests coming from the Red Magic 8 Pro, it seems Qualcomm might have their best chip since the 835/845 days. The 888 and 8 Gen 1 were very problematic. You also need to understand SoCs won't always be efficient every year like it wasn't in 2015, 2021, and early-2022. Qualcomm doesn't always get it right every year once they speed things up. Who knows if Snap 8 Gen 3 sucks? It happens regardless if they use TSMC foundries. The most efficient Snapdragon flagship SoCs I've seen were 800, 801, and 835. Snap 8+ Gen 1 and Gen 2 are returning to those years in 2013, 2014, and 2017. Android will only get worse with 14 as Google will make it harder to sideload apps. S23U comes with 13 out of the box. Android 13 already made it impossible to downgrade to the previous firmware. Google is becoming more like Apple every day which isn't exactly a good thing. The openness of Android is starting to fade and becoming more restrictive like iOS. S23 Ultra should still be the battery king for Samsung since I expect the Fold 5 and Flip 5 will come with smaller batteries like they did previous years. Fold 5 still has to power a bigger internal display and Flip 5 has close to the same screen size as the Ultras but Flip 4 only came with 3700 mAh and not 5000 that the S22U and S23U have. So if you want the S-Pen slot (we still don't know if Fold 5 gets it), periscope lens, and the most efficient Samsung flagship, it's really the S23 Ultra. The S23+ might be more efficient but S23U just seems more premium and feature-packed. Not many techtubers are mentioning this and instead are saying Samsung is offering terrible trade-in deals this year which is true. But a carrier like AT&T is offering $1000 bill credits if you trade-in any Samsung Galaxy S phone in any condition. It includes other brands like any old Pixel if you want $1000 off. Yes, you're stuck with them for 3 years unless you do $6 Next Up every month to be eligible for a new phone after every 18 months. But you're getting $1000 off by trading in your broken Galaxy S3, Pixel 2, or whatever. Check the eligibility of old phones you can trade in on their site. $200 S23 Ultra (I want 12 GB RAM) $75 minimum contract per month for 3 yrs I'll get a $30 discount under ACP and $15 with autopay. My monthly bill should be around $35-$40 per month. The 512 GB being offered has 12 GB RAM by default. I'm really considering it. Yeah, it's a boring and heavy slab. I still think S21U looked the best from the back and prefer the rounder edges. But I'm sick and tired charging my Flip 3, Razr 5G, iPhone X, and Pixel 3 every single day. Only my SE 3 gives me good battery life and standby. The Flip 5 will be great with a bigger cover display and the same custom Snap 8 Gen 2 but its size and form factor will always limit its battery capacity to less than 5000 mAh the S23U has. From other battery tests, I think iPhone 14 Pro Max still beats S23 Ultra by a considerable margin while having a smaller battery nearly 700 mAh less. A16 is still the more efficient chip and iOS is more efficient than Android especially with RAM. I'm very frugal how I use my phones. I'll probably turn off 120 Hz and 5G to extend it to 20+ hour SOT if I can get 13+ hours easily on my iPhone SE 3 from Wi-Fi browsing. S23 Ultra is the one, folks. Don't bother with Pixel 7 Pro or 8 Pro. Samsung's Exynos chip is just not as efficient as TSMC Snapdragons. And less compatibility with emulators. Resale value on all Pixels is piss poor. I wonder if my guy, Michael Fisher, will ever get bored with foldables and go back using a boring slab? I use both since purchasing a few used iPhones and it's really not difficult going back to a slab. Maybe this is the year to go back to it if you want the longest battery life from a Samsung phone with DEX support and don't want to deal with a crease while using an S-Pen?
Great review sir! Now when S22ultra is 30-35-40% cheaper than S23 ultra, it would be really really good to know if its really worth of paying that extra 35% or just save. Im about to upgrade from Note 10plus. And im not gaming on my phone.
The biggest difference is the Snapdragon upgrade for people outside the US, so if you can get a S22u with a snapdragon for 40% off its the much better deal. If its a S22u with an exynos its up to you to decide how much that snapdragon upgrade is worth it. You can also wait for the S23u to drop in price, if you check e.g. idealo the pirces usually fall significantly after 2 months on Samsung devices.
@@binzianer thanks man, i agree with you. I can get s22ultra with snapdragon and save 350usdt. If there would be something revolutionary like, lets say no selfi camera hole that would be a case, but from what i see, its the same phone with a little upgrade on some major things.
Maybe I can help you with the low Geekbench results: both SIngle and Multi scores indicate that the "Light" performance profile is activated. Just change it to Standard. A very good video btw., thank you.
Thanks for watching! It is set to 'Standard' performance, but to be fair benchmarking is a haphazard practice at the best of times anyway. Important thing is that everything has been creamy smooth in real life use, as expected
@@TechSpurt Thank you for the quick reply. It is strange, but as you said, these scores are not relevant for real life use. If I may: set it to light and the only difference that you are going to notice is the benchmark result😁. This is the case on my Fold 4 and it saves also battery.
Upgrades are incremental. However using the snapdragon chip for all is a step in right direction. I would be most interested in what Samsung will bring on their Fold 5
Officially placed my order for a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, doing the jump from an iPhone 11 Pro. Time to leave old tech behind and hop on the better tech (android) can’t wait till it arrives 🙏 got it in the green color 516 gb.
Great video. I'm guessing you like it in a negative sort of way. I've just ordered mine for delivery on 13th Feb. I'm trading in an 8 year old galaxy phone for which they have given me £150. I also got the 512gb with 12gb ram for the price of a 256gb 8gb ram price. £300 discount on a flagship phone is amazing. I intended throwing away the 8 year old trade in, but glad I didn't.
Always good to get a free upgrade :-). i ordered mine 1st feb. and got it on the 3rd feb. I got the s23 ultra 512gb Graphite, galaxy buds 2 pro, Galaxy S23 Ultra Clear Case Transparent, 45W Power Adapter and the Wireless Mono Pad Fast Charging Excl. Adapter (this one i got for free) and all this cost me 25 euro less than they ask for the s23 ultra 265gb cuz of all the bonusses i got from them. Got something around 520 euro discount. 🙂
So far I'm enjoying it, despite the size (I prefer more compact devices). It's been surprisingly unbuggy for a pre-release, very few complaints - apart from the sky high price that is!
should i trade in my ipad pro 12.9 2nd gen to s23u for 200usd? it probably on its end of os updates.i used it alot for gaming but i know what would happen when it apps stops running if ios version isnt updated.
You absolutely will not damage the mic if you accidentally poke a sim ejector tool into the mic hole lol. The Mic inside isn't directly in that hole. You can poke away in any of the holes, just fine.
Did you post on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok directly from the apps with this S23U? Did Samsung really open the camera API to the apps so that the quality is good? Before only on iPhone the video looked good, on any Android it was crappy, low quality.
Not 1 youtuber has mentioned, the new 10bit hdr 4k 60fps options, which only the iphone could do. and also can you switch lenses while recording 4k 60fps ?
First time viewer. Sub'd cuz of your info/delivery. (I was also influenced by your tuxedos :) I have two also.) Plus, what Yank doesn't like British slang and humour!? I miss London but I don't miss the traffic! ugh!
Great vid, I think we're at the stage with camera phones where they aren't going to improve majorly for another 5 years. If you have an s22 I wouldn't bother upgrading.
I had the S22. Never touching Samsung ever again. Phone was awful, battery life was a joke. I've gone to Apple iPhone, a iPhone 12, two years old, and it smashes the S22 out of the park, battery life from a 2 year phone is so much better than a 1 year old phone.
@@wonrei I mean the S22 still has nearly a 1000 mAh more battery size than the iPhone 12; regardless of screen resolution and refresh rate (which is variable down to like 43 hz most of the time, so 60 hz isn’t a good argument) on the S22, the battery shouldn’t be that bad compared to a much smaller battery.
First time watching your videos and you're an entertaining guy, although I think you made a mistake on the geekbench section where you said the device has 12gb of RAM, I think it's actually 8gb - I think only the 512gb and the 1TB model have 12gb of RAM.
Thing is Samsung are just trying to be iPhone now, less as possible for the most money. Not really environmentally friendly when you have to buy 3rd party chargers with packaging etc. It's just a cost cutting move, plus no case is a bit shit, so you're having to buy one of those along with the packaging that brings. Nice phone but far too expensive.
Do you need the SD card slot, headphone jack, variable aperture, 960 fps, Iris scanner, SpO2, heart rate sensor, pressure home button and MST payment? If not, it's a big yes.
Great review, i bought mine last week and love it. Much better camera than S22 ultra. Now images are most of the time not blurry. I think the problem with S22 was exynos crap and image processing. By the way you have some great wallpapers, would be cool to get the name and where you get them from ;)
I dont understand some complaining about samsung's battery sucks. My S22U solid carried itself for almost 2 days without refilling the juice. Also, i set it to 85% max charge only!
why cant anyone make a video about samsung s23 ultra in social media posts, mainly in instagram? We want to see a comparison between Iphone 14 pro max and sammy, please...
Want an alternative with the same processor and gpu but lesser camera quality.. Poco F6 PRO.. (not meant to undermine this review btw, i just wanted to share this awesome phone as well)
So that should tell you that not all phones are created equal off the assembly line 😂😂 Plus there are more things to look forward to like your actual day to day use, not someone else's.
Have they fixed the lag issues I had the s22 ultra for a while and sold it as the lag in the menus etc was awful considering buying this and selling my iPhone 14 pro max
You should also run the compute test on geekbench, the default one only tests CPU performance, and gpu is left out. A shame since this year Qualcomm beat Apple's arse in the gpu department
I’m new to Samsung. I just pre ordered my first Galaxy after using iPhone for 10 years. It would be awesome if you or another content creator can make a beginners video showing the key and coolest features Galaxies have to offer so we can get to know and use our phones. Most videos just show new features and hidden features. Thanks.
Finding them is half the fun. Picture in picture (with fade) is great, as is multiple bluetooth streaming options, like 2 devices or one app goes to headphones, the other to speakers (eg personal TH-cam v spotify for people in the room)
Would there ne much of a difference between an S23+ and the Ultra?. I have an A52 5G (coming from a DEAD S7) and i was wondering if i should get the S23+ due to the screen size being more manageable or jump the gun on the Ultra, even though i might not touch the S Pen at all but the battery, screen size and camera being better? Would an S23+ have kinda close to the same photo's zoomed details as the Ultra ?
That Steven Segal reference, I feel so called out (cause I got it, Q.Q) I hear the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is better in samsung's phone due to the upclock so I'm curious for some extended Genshin or Tower of Fantasy (since I'm going cold turkey on Genshin and have been for some time T.T)
Btw yeah bixby sucks in some ways, but it works well enough for me so I can do stuff with it that google assistant simply can't do. The only thing I had to be willing was to be willing to spend a few minutes learning about it and not just complain about it not understanding my native language.

men can you show proper battery of the phone without killing steven sigal???
last 2 phones was short on battery
I just started watching, but you directly get an upvote for setting chapters in your video. So many dont do it, especially for tech vids. Thank you :)
I got one for 440 (tech 550 with tax) with a trade in of a 280 dollar phone, all I had to do was sell my soul to Verizon for 3 years.
Wheeeey
So you didn’t get it for 440. You got it for way way more. Just going to pay it in service instead
uiiiiiiiiiiiii
I'm considering doing that as well. Do u think its worth doing that?
Lool your dumb, should have just waited and got an unlocked model second hand

Same. Exynos was such a bummer. Will be great to have a premium chip for once. Expecting 1.5+ days of battery
Yeah, this is very tempting. I switched to Sony because of the Exynos chipset but now without it, it could well be my next phone.
Snapdragon or not it loses 50% value over a year and S24U will bring real upgrades, thus preordering is a cash burn
I can promise you it's a night and day difference 🩵

Always a honest review guy...I appreciate your comprehensive review...

Great video. I'm guessing you like it in a negative sort of way. I've just ordered mine for delivery on 13th Feb. I'm trading in an 8 year old galaxy phone for which they have given me £150. I also got the 512gb with 12gb ram for the price of a 256gb 8gb ram price. £300 discount on a flagship phone is amazing. I intended throwing away the 8 year old trade in, but glad I didn't.
Always good to get a free upgrade :-). i ordered mine 1st feb. and got it on the 3rd feb. I got the s23 ultra 512gb Graphite, galaxy buds 2 pro, Galaxy S23 Ultra Clear Case Transparent, 45W Power Adapter and the Wireless Mono Pad Fast Charging Excl. Adapter (this one i got for free) and all this cost me 25 euro less than they ask for the s23 ultra 265gb cuz of all the bonusses i got from them. Got something around 520 euro discount. 🙂
So far I'm enjoying it, despite the size (I prefer more compact devices). It's been surprisingly unbuggy for a pre-release, very few complaints - apart from the sky high price that is!
should i trade in my ipad pro 12.9 2nd gen to s23u for 200usd? it probably on its end of os updates.i used it alot for gaming but i know what would happen when it apps stops running if ios version isnt updated.
You absolutely will not damage the mic if you accidentally poke a sim ejector tool into the mic hole lol. The Mic inside isn't directly in that hole. You can poke away in any of the holes, just fine.
Where are you guys finding this solid white S23 Ultra? I can only find the "beige/cream" color 🤔

£1200 for a phone.. The world is insane.
Its always been that price wym
@@TeddiiTheGod hasn't though
@@TheSometimeAfter yes it has where u been these.lasr 5 years
Did you post on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok directly from the apps with this S23U? Did Samsung really open the camera API to the apps so that the quality is good? Before only on iPhone the video looked good, on any Android it was crappy, low quality.
Can The Shutter Delay/Lag be Cured by Software Uprade?

Not 1 youtuber has mentioned, the new 10bit hdr 4k 60fps options, which only the iphone could do. and also can you switch lenses while recording 4k 60fps ?
just wanna ask where you downloaded those anime wallpaper in all your phone reviews?
Waiting for mine in the mail right now 🎉
First time viewer. Sub'd cuz of your info/delivery. (I was also influenced by your tuxedos :) I have two also.) Plus, what Yank doesn't like British slang and humour!? I miss London but I don't miss the traffic! ugh!
Great vid, I think we're at the stage with camera phones where they aren't going to improve majorly for another 5 years. If you have an s22 I wouldn't bother upgrading.
They need to just completely do away with curve displays. As nice as they look they are impractical and don't have any purpose nowadays.
Which App For Those Great Wallpapers On Your Phone?
well, in Moldova the iPhone 14 pro (not max) 256 GB is with 100 euros more expensive then s23 ultra 256, 12 ram...
yeah these toys cost as much as a 2nd hand car while doing nothing a car does
I like the latest tech so I had the s20 traded in for s21-s22 and now s23. Looking forward to the battery improvement and camera.All Ultra.
I bought a mac mini than buying this phone. I hate the price of phones these days
I had the S22. Never touching Samsung ever again. Phone was awful, battery life was a joke. I've gone to Apple iPhone, a iPhone 12, two years old, and it smashes the S22 out of the park, battery life from a 2 year phone is so much better than a 1 year old phone.
@@ebola1974 cause iphone have 60hz display. Bet u dont know what refresh rate is
@@wonrei I mean the S22 still has nearly a 1000 mAh more battery size than the iPhone 12; regardless of screen resolution and refresh rate (which is variable down to like 43 hz most of the time, so 60 hz isn’t a good argument) on the S22, the battery shouldn’t be that bad compared to a much smaller battery.
@@ebola1974 whatever works for you just not for me
First time watching your videos and you're an entertaining guy, although I think you made a mistake on the geekbench section where you said the device has 12gb of RAM, I think it's actually 8gb - I think only the 512gb and the 1TB model have 12gb of RAM.
Thing is Samsung are just trying to be iPhone now, less as possible for the most money. Not really environmentally friendly when you have to buy 3rd party chargers with packaging etc. It's just a cost cutting move, plus no case is a bit shit, so you're having to buy one of those along with the packaging that brings. Nice phone but far too expensive.
1:02 White Shoes, calm down!
Just tell me which app you download your wallpapers from
Will it be a good upgrade from Samsung Note 9 series ?
Do you need the SD card slot, headphone jack, variable aperture, 960 fps, Iris scanner, SpO2, heart rate sensor, pressure home button and MST payment?
If not, it's a big yes.
Paying over $1000 only to get 5 hours of screen on time is a joke in the name of battery performance lol

Real good vid I know more about samsung and they real are working on that camera 60htz is impressive thanks.
If I'm upgrading from S10+ is this necessary or am I going to be blown away even going for S21, S22 or standard s23?
I am 30 and I got that reference for Steven Seagal 😄
SWEET!!
Still going strong with s21 ultra but dang this looks good.
Great review, i bought mine last week and love it. Much better camera than S22 ultra. Now images are most of the time not blurry. I think the problem with S22 was exynos crap and image processing.
By the way you have some great wallpapers, would be cool to get the name and where you get them from ;)
🙏Someone please tell me where to get these wallpapers.

I dont understand some complaining about samsung's battery sucks. My S22U solid carried itself for almost 2 days without refilling the juice. Also, i set it to 85% max charge only!
Best reviewer ever!
Biscuits and Steven Segal lol!
No review is complete without yours!!
"It survived a serious fingering" the content we are here for 🤣
Please make a review for the s23 plus because everyone focus only on the ultra..
Plus is canceled next year, noone buys those
Love it where can I get the wallpaper you have in the screen please 👌❤️
Someone link me those wallpapers, please
I just wish samsung made an S23 Ultra boxy shape phone like but with an 6.4inchs screen. 6.8in is too big for me
With so many apps, photos, files etc, will it even last a day or storage wise
I want this phone sm mainly for the pen and the storage

9:44 does the back of the phone vibrate when the speaker is playing? my note10+ does that and it's so distracting.
S22 Ultra vs basic S23 model comparison plz. I cannot find it anywhere on the internet.
This new design language reminds me of the old Lumia devices
why cant anyone make a video about samsung s23 ultra in social media posts, mainly in instagram? We want to see a comparison between Iphone 14 pro max and sammy, please...
I ignored your advice and swapped my S21 Ultra for a Fold 4. Suffice to say, my S23 Ultra arrives tomorrow.
@Tech Spurt...I got the Segal referencestill under 35🤣
Got green line in my Galaxy S20+ display within two years. How reliable are these samsung flagships ?
Where does this man find his wallpapers
Lavender ultra oh baby
Top review. Always cracks me up. Now deciding whether to finally let go of the Note 9 😃 still going strong 💪
Same. Think it's time to retire.
No idea why it's a flex to keep a phone as long as possible despite no more updates.
@@mrkring1526 Maybe because a lot of people can't afford a phone that costs over £1,200 ?
Finally a proper video about s23 instead of those useless camera comparisons with iPhone.
Want an alternative with the same processor and gpu but lesser camera quality.. Poco F6 PRO.. (not meant to undermine this review btw, i just wanted to share this awesome phone as well)
Nice review! I have seen much better CPU scores in other videos and reviews though? More like 1500 for single core and 4900 for multi core
So that should tell you that not all phones are created equal off the assembly line 😂😂 Plus there are more things to look forward to like your actual day to day use, not someone else's.
Have they fixed the lag issues I had the s22 ultra for a while and sold it as the lag in the menus etc was awful considering buying this and selling my iPhone 14 pro max

You should also run the compute test on geekbench, the default one only tests CPU performance, and gpu is left out. A shame since this year Qualcomm beat Apple's arse in the gpu department

Did it come with a screen protector installed
this video is oddly satisfying , I have no idea why
I’m new to Samsung. I just pre ordered my first Galaxy after using iPhone for 10 years. It would be awesome if you or another content creator can make a beginners video showing the key and coolest features Galaxies have to offer so we can get to know and use our phones. Most videos just show new features and hidden features. Thanks.
Finding them is half the fun. Picture in picture (with fade) is great, as is multiple bluetooth streaming options, like 2 devices or one app goes to headphones, the other to speakers (eg personal TH-cam v spotify for people in the room)
@@kierenkd this is awesome
I got one! Although they call it green.
It looks like a matte green or military.
I went with it. I love the phone.
They should remove the second sim slot and allocate it to sd card and make second sim as esim dunno why they are not doing that..
Really, you don't know why they are doing that?
$$$
which is the movie he is Playing at 9:04?
Where do u get ur anime collection. Give us a link to ur collection.
Would there ne much of a difference between an S23+ and the Ultra?. I have an A52 5G (coming from a DEAD S7) and i was wondering if i should get the S23+ due to the screen size being more manageable or jump the gun on the Ultra, even though i might not touch the S Pen at all but the battery, screen size and camera being better?
Would an S23+ have kinda close to the same photo's zoomed details as the Ultra ?
please do a drop test!

I love the anime wallpapers
i personally love how were now getting snapdragon chips again. sick of having lower performance compared to the rest of the world
That Steven Segal reference, I feel so called out (cause I got it, Q.Q) I hear the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is better in samsung's phone due to the upclock so I'm curious for some extended Genshin or Tower of Fantasy (since I'm going cold turkey on Genshin and have been for some time T.T)
I’m switching back to Droid. I gave Apple a two year try… but i miss my Droid.
I pre-ordered the 23 Ultra and am looking forward to its arrival.
Best display in the business! Very expensive though 😬

Btw yeah bixby sucks in some ways, but it works well enough for me so I can do stuff with it that google assistant simply can't do. The only thing I had to be willing was to be willing to spend a few minutes learning about it and not just complain about it not understanding my native language.
