I feel bad for people who just purchased the s22 though... people like myself 😂🤦
@@shreyverma464 il buy my s23+ in march
@@jaxonsandwith502if you have the s22 there’s no point and you should just wait for the s24 or s25
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.
@@meetkaustubhrao4173 im upgrading from my s10e to a s23 ultra so there should be a huge upgrade for me lol
this is super based
not going to happen.
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 love my headphone jack on my S10 I use it EVERDAY
I'm still have S10+ ceramic black 512GB, still kick asses! And my new S23 ultra 512GB is my new beast since 2 mounths ago
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 love when people are passionate about the things they love and this man is a pure example of it. you can see his excitement throughout the whole video
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
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. Not providing actual features is the real deal which apple seems to do a lot.

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 🤷♀
Good
I legit make sure it's your channel before I see any reviews on any phone. That's how phenomenal you are. You out so much into your videos and you genuinely care.

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.
Hey dont say that, im actually waiting on my 14 pro max to arrive lol, i used to own many of the late Samsungs, but i bought a Macbook so i pretty much need an iPhone because of it.
@@byrongaray869 why would you "need" an iPhone for? I also have a MacBook and a Samsung phone. I genuinely want to understand why did you use the word "need".

I Like the added s- pen addition also and its a really nice phone. Still learning it , from S21 Ultra to S23 Ultra.
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!
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
"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.
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.
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.
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.

Just watched this from my bandnew S23 Ultra! Your videos are awesome!
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.

Got the S23 Ultra last week. Just Wow! Brilliant machine!
***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
I just upgraded from a standard note 20 and it was definitely worth it! The speakers and camera are my favorite.
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
Quick, Detailed, Informative, straight to the point and entertaining!
Amazing as always, Thank You!

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
Mrwhosetheboss: OMG samsung hasn't changed their design! What had they done to their s23 ?
Apple: we've been doing this for years!
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.

watching you first time, and subscribed you in within 2 mins. One of the best informative videos i have seen through channels. I loved detailling of your work, not just basic info that can be seen in every second video on youtube. just a small suggestion, if you can also add phone model tag on comparison photos or videos, it would be best. like i had to rewind many times for some comparison parts, which is i guess common problem, everybody will be facing.
I mean just watching the video on highest resolution is just mind blowing 🤯 of how nice and smooth it is , crazy 🤪.

And again one of most detailed and best video out there explaining EVERYTHING! You're doing soo great Arun 💯
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
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.
If they were to repeat a design they should've brought back the 21 look, which is honestly where I think they peaked, the 21 series phones looked so 🔥

I have the S20 FE and still don't wanna lose the SD card.😕
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 🤣

Bro u were so enthusiastic about this phone. I preordered it and after watching it I’m ready to get my hands on it right now! U literally sold this phone! And thanks for explaining the pixels. Some may not understand how complex and important it is with camera quality upgrades, but u did a great job explaining it.
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.
FLOP and Fold are way overpriced way too fragile and too lacking
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN
If Samsung stops putting their money on all the advertisements, then the folds and flips will be much cheaper.
But then, this holds true for any product from big brand
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.
Getting my s23 ultra tomorrow
Every single video of this guy is so rich in details and not focused towards tech geniuses. I love this channel ❤️
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.

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.
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.
Xup, thought you will talk about the maintenance mode on the s23 ultra.
Looking forward to see your review on it
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
I love this content. Simply, but effectively covers everything a user needs to know about this phone. Keep it up Arun!
I’m getting an s23 ultra today
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
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
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!!
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..
The one thing that shocked me the most was the speaker, most definitely. I thought it was at full volume when it was only at 50%. I turned it all the way too 100% and showed a few people, and they said, "Holy sh*t."
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 🤟
The production value of your videos is off the charts, a really really polished final product. Well done guys.
no headphone jack lol
Samsung should thank this guy the way he reviews of Samsung's ultra devices makes people feel like buying Samsung ultra phones more
Very nice product and I love it.
Only huge No No is the C type earphones (no jack).
The phone goes crazy deciding between charger or earphones.
Your videos are very entertaining and nicely and beautifully edited. Never stop posting 💙
Hey man, I LOVED my S10+ but with its declining health and a $800 trade in bonus plus a memory upgrade for pre order I couldn thelp but go for the S22 Ultra at release. The phone is amazing to say the least and even after a year I still appreciate its functionality on a daily basis. While I will not be upgrading to the s23 ultra since there is clearly no need for a few years at this point, my input to other looking to upgrade from an s10 or older model should definitely do so. Although I will say ANY time you sign a contract you will end up paying an extra $10-20/mo from something they wont tell you about no matter how much you do your research.
same boat, i have a 10+ and am thinking about upgrading to the s23 ultra.
same, i also used to have Note10+ and decided to switch to S22 ultra, and works brilliantly in photo processing, battery life, and overall usage. But i'm still expecting a lot more on the battery life on my S22 ultra with their 5000 mah & snapdragon chip. Let's see what this S23 ultra can bring on the full review
That's why i stopped with finances and instead opt for getting all my eggs in one basket and buy it outright with the reduced price. Just makes more sense
I have a Note 20 Ultra which I bought refurbished for $600, which was about half the price. Don't forget that option. It's the cheapest way to buy a phone. Plus, I got free Buds 2 with my purchase. Why pay more?
@@jimroscovius After the trade in bonus I paid a total of $380 for the phone including tax. Completely worth it imo. Also got the free 128 to 256gb upgrade for free for pre ordering. I had 2 refurbished consoles break on me years ago and vowed to never buy refurbished again anyway tbh, not knocking it but not for me.
2:19 it's weird that I'm watching the video on the same color Galaxy Note 9 while waiting for my s23 ultra to arrive 😅
The wife and I just upgraded our s21's to the s23ultra 512gb - and quite impressed already. I really like the camera upgrades. Battery life is much improved.
How do you guys find the size/weight?
@@7ish4m Size is pretty much identical to our S21's. Weight seems a bit heavier...but gives the phone a good solid feel.
Where did you take your S21? Kindly gift me. I will really appreciate
@@maryarya5678 Sure thing. Keep checking your mailbox daily. Should be there right quick.
Lol you said rest in peace 13:24
I like your content. It's always good to and comparison to previous device and latest device. I'm looking forwards to your review on a more hands approach to the new S23 Ultra vs previous S22 Ultra and other brands such as Apple, Xiaomi, Sony and etc.
my last phone was a Note 9. loved it so much. NEEDED to upgrade to the s23 ultra because my Note9's battery lasted me maybe 4 hours if i was lucky. used that phone ALOT
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!
Another very well thought through analysis - such consistently quality content
@@i_am_b491 the SDG2 can fuck up the entire apple industry
😘😘
@@i_am_b491 holy shit how many comments are you gonna leave on this video bro this is getting sad. Keep fighting the phone wars brother lol
@@i_am_b491 bro how many times u wanna comment why u hating so much its literally just a phone
@Jack Blade I don't know why he's pained lol 😁😅
Currently using the Note 20 Ultra. I didn't bother upgrading because i still value the micro SD option but I'm noticing that I'm using paid for monthly storage now to house my photos. I can always put my stuff on my PC too.
So, I've decided to move up to the 23 Ultra I thought about a flip and fold but the crease videos I saw make me scared to even get one.
S23 ultra 🤴 👑
Haha nice
