The DSLR can stay home a little more!

  • Camera hardware and software
  • Screen
  • High price

The cameras of the S23 Ultra are of excellent quality. If you simply want to take good photos and videos, the software ensures that everything is captured effortlessly and can be viewed later. If you want more control over the settings, you can select the "Professional mode", where you can quickly adjust the ISO value, autofocus and shutter speed. The sensors of the S23 Ultra are large, so that a lot of detail is stored in the (optional RAW) photos, which you can edit later. Editing the photos is easy on the large, bright screen. The battery life of the S23 Ultra is very good, but to get the most out of the battery, some settings such as the 120Hz refresh rate should be turned off. The device feels solid, but its width makes it difficult to put in your pocket and the screen has slightly curved edges that make gestures easier to use.

Very good smartphone

  • Purchase price

I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for some time now for testing and I am very happy to have been given this opportunity. The camera details are sharp and the contrast is great. The night photography feature is also impressive and makes it easy to take pictures in low light conditions. The screen is large and bright, making watching videos and playing games a very enjoyable experience. You should not forget to turn up all settings so that you get 120Hz and vibrant colors. The battery life is also fantastic and had 43% left after 5 hours of WhatsApp calling. The S Pen has also proven useful when taking notes. Satisfied user of the S23 Ultra.

Fantastic phone, less good price

  • Gigantic battery
  • Nice big screen
  • Good cameras
  • Software not yet ready

The Samsung S23 Ultra is a good phone for companies or professionals in photography or other specific fields. For the standard user, however, this does not seem to be the best choice. I was able to test the S23 Ultra myself for a few weeks, and used an S21 for this. When I received the phone, I couldn't wait to unpack it, but I was disappointed again when I saw that no adapter was included. Since this phone charges with 45W, you will have to get a new one if you want the fastest charging speed. However, when you have this, the phone charges very quickly. You can fully charge it in just over an hour, and then with a full battery you can continue for a day or 2 (with normal use). This was a huge difference from my previous phone. Another nice point is the screen and the S-pen. This phone has a 6.8 inch screen, which in addition to its size also offers a fantastic resolution and color quality. This allows you to really enjoy series, photos, games, ... The cameras themselves are good, but the software is not yet in order. For example, the software sometimes has trouble choosing the right colors, so you sometimes see your colors and contrast change up to 3x while focusing on a situation. In addition, taking pictures against a window in the dark (for example a train) is also not an option. The purple infrared light of the distance sensor does not go out. So you get a faded purple glow over your photo... Whether the S23 Ultra is right for you then really depends on the situation. For this phone you have lost 1299 EUR at the time of writing. In contrast, the 'standard' S22 costs EUR 600. So before you buy this phone, ask yourself if you can spare 700 EUR for an S-Pen, better photos, and a larger battery.
