Never again for me. Tmobile sold me a refurbished s20 ultra when I returned my s20+ since they are supposedly allowed to do that if yoy return a phone even within 15 days they almost never send a new one back to you. Found this out a year later when they found a service ticket on it from before when it got sent out to be refurbished. Wondered why it was thw worst experience I've had with a samsung phone so I'll never do that again tbh I'll also never return a phone unless I absolutely have to. Now trade I s are different of course they hsve to give you a new phone but yeah returning a new phone they send back out refurbished found out most brands/carriers do this crap. But I'm happy you got a good one. I just can't chance it tbh. My new s23 ultra has blown my mind and im coming from an s21 ultra so I did not expect the upgrade to be noticeable but damn it is. It's so fast has no lag at all ita buttery smooth with 0 absolutely 0 hiccups. Never have I ever had a phone have no hiccups lol. So I'm Def happy plus it changed nothing on my bill didn't even have to pay an activation fee.

@RemmyRiffs

Жыл бұрын

Well it's only been 1 year, I hope it still holds it's own lol. Having said that...the S23 Ultras overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip absolutely decimates the S22 Ultras Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. The Gen 2 chip is 40% faster and more efficient which make's this the biggest jump/upgrade in performance that we've had in year's. This is also finally a brand new camera sensor...the 108MP sensor on the S22 Ultra has been used for a few year's now. The design remains pretty much the same but the insides are completely different. What he and other reviewers also miss is the fact that the S23 Ultra now has DDR5X RAM which is twice the speed of regular DDR5 RAM and it also has UFS 4.0 (flash storage) instead of the old UFS 3.1 tech that's been being used for a long time now. The overclocked SD 8 Gen 2 chip, DDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 all combine to make the S23 Ultra a true "next gen" phone.

What I've noticed alot of reviewers leaving out is the fact that the S23 Ultra now has DDR5X RAM which is twice the speed of regular DDR5 RAM (hence why they were able to drop the base RAM from 12GB down to 8GB in favor of more storage instead. The iPhone 14 Pro Max only has 6GB of RAM due to the efficiency of their chip, the overclocked SD 8 Gen 2 chip is on par or better then the 14 Pro Max chip) and it also has UFS 4.0 (flash storage) instead of the old UFS 3.1 tech that's been used for a long time now. The overclocked SD 8 Gen 2 chip, DDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 all combine to make the S23 Ultra a true "next gen" phone. The design remains the same, but the tech that is actually inside of the phone is a COMPLETE upgrade. Probably the biggest performance jump that we have gotten in year's.

Thank you for the comparison. My S22 Ultra broke! It goes into boot cycle. I think this is due to heat caused by bad SoC. Used it just over a year. The only reason why I go with Samsung because I don't like iPhones. Another friend of mine had the same issue with S22 Ultra. Hopefully Samsung is doing a better job with quality controls.

Thanks for the review! It's definitely valuable. One thing I find very unfortunate is that no reviewer of these phones ever discusses the reliability and speed of the autofocus. I use an S20 fe and the 3x zoom camera has a super slow autofocus and often times refuses to focus on a contrasty area I have selected. It's nothing like the main camera and it's very dissatisfying. No one also talks about the minimum shutter speed the cameras select. My 3x camera picks a 1/50" shutter speed which makes it impossible to shoot almost any movement without motion blur from the subject. Why don't you mention these things?

I’m sorry to hear that mate, I honestly don’t know too much about cameras and don’t find myself using them to often in my day day so I tend to glance over them in my videos. I’ll keep learning and try my best to look out for these things for the future.

Battery on s22 is good enough for a day, but if you want iphone 13 Pro Max battery, S23 ultra is a must. I have both the s22 and iphone and I prefer consuming content and playing games on the s22, but for leaving the house all day the iphone is in my pocket because I know that battery won't drain, then again it chargers so fast it's not really an issue!!

Having just bought a mint s22u 512 unlocked from ebay for 480, the 22 is the buy currently. S23u was atleast 750 or more. More like 8-900 in the 512, and condition i found my s22. That 8g2 (23) is probably the best chip made by Q in many years though. Powerful and efficient. My 22U will be my work phone for the next 3-4 yrs already atleast. Replacing the GOAT Note9, finally lol. Pairing with a OnePlus 12 for my personal phone.

Hey sorry for the late reply mate, but yes I think it's worth the switch. Unless you deeply rely on file transfers/ecosystem compatibility from your phone to your laptop then it might be tough but there are definitely some work around for file transfers. I personally have a MacBook myself and the s23 ultra and I rarely have to transfer files and for ecosystem compatibility I use Sony headphones which have the ability to connect to two devices so I can switch between my laptop and phone when needed. I have the Sky Blue color.

Hi guys.I wanna tell you one story about s23 ultra that happened to me about 2 months ago. we have in Tbilisi 3 electronic stores that distributes samsung phones .1 store is officially gets from Samsung with hologram on retail box and 1 store is called Zoomer .people are buying the phones from zoomer because the phones are less expensive ,but if you look at the phones there are similar to what is sold globally in the world and there are from samsung ,but there is trick that this mistake cost me a lot of money . Now listen . I decided to buy samsung s23 ultra from zoomer because it was 100 dollar cheaper .they opened seal and box turn the phone on and seemed to me it was ok , when when i went to my job next day ,my co worker had the same s23 ultra but he had bought it from other store that had samsung hologram on it .When we compare phones my s23 ultra colors were dull not so vivid as his ,I found out that my s23 ultra was Dubai version .after 3 days i sold it at 200 dolars less and went to that store with hologram on it . I would say guys it was quite different one from dubai version .Now i see this video and just remembered my story about colors because before that i had s22 ultra .Thanks
