About what I expected. Gamers and SD card enthusiasts... S23U is basically a waste of money. If you're tight on cash and don't want to be tied to a an overpriced plan on a major carrier just to pay it in payments, you're better to keep your Note 20U and wait a year for deals on new or refurb S23U. If you're like me and had your note for 2-1/2 + years, always buy the phone outright so you can move around to whatever carrier has the best deal whenever you want, and you're a photo enthusiast (or your on your phone constantly) then this is a compelling upgrade. Best deal is $600 off at Google Fi for a Factory Unlocked phone with no carrier branding. You just need to stay with them 4 months then you can move to wherever you want. The refresh rate 60 vs 120 at 1440p. BIG DEAL. Everyone is so unecessarily obsessed with numbers. By the way, the daytime non-zoom photo quality is more or less the same. The S23U just applies more sharpening. 10X and beyond zoom is WAY better on the S23U. Low light is slightly better on the S23U but not enough to buy the phone if your main goal is better low light photography. Also, video stabilization is WAY better on S23 Ultra than S22 and Note 20. There's tons of examples out there like this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h52iqc5xf9TYlpc.html But this is nothing you can fix up in video editing software. Just nice to be stabilized right from the camera. Main reason to get this phone is (as mostly confirmed by this reviewer) - Zoom photography - Insane battery life - Great video stabilization - Brighter screen in sunlight situations Everything else is just a much of numeric spec BS marketed to get people excited.

I'm still Rockin my note 20 ultra and it's still a Beast of a phone, battery life is still the same as new , screen is still beautiful, the cameras have definitely gotten better with updates, it's still a fast phone, I'm not upgrading until my phone is unusable

I loved my note 20 ultra. Considering it's age.. It's still a very great phone. That being said, I upgraded to the S23 ultra with no regrets. Battery life alone was worth it to me. It's just better.. Yes because of age, but also it's just better out the box than my note 20 was. I 2nd the camera.. Yes my note 20 took great pictures, the 23 takes amazing shots. Worth the upgrade? For me..

Great comparison video, really helped me decide to stick with my Note 20 Ultra!

I had a note 20 ultra and upgraded to the s23 ultra. I must say that the s23 ultra is better in some aspects: Amazing battery life (note only lasted 5 hours, the s23 ultra lasts 7) Faster at installing and reading apps. Better camera at low light situations. The feel in the hand is better, the more square-like feeling the s23 ultra gives is amazing! Its not such a HUGE improvement, but I must say that you can feel the difference. I'm in love with this phone 😍

Thank you for the very unbiased review, it’s hard to find one nowadays.

$350 vs $1350, note 20 ultra is the keeper

Great content. I love my note20 ultra rose gold phone. I have a 1 tb memory card on my phone, which cost me 50 bucks. Now, if you bought the s23 ultra 1tb model, that would have cost at least 1,600 to 1,700. I paid 1,199 brand new from T-MOBILE. So total it cost me 1,250. At least 500 cheaper then the s23 ultra 1tb. As for camera. After 3 gen of upgrading the s23 ultra better be better then the note20 ultra. Overall my note20 ultra is still a beast. And I have 7 more payments on through T-MOBILE. Maybe then I'll upgrade.

Only thing keeping me from upgrading is the lack of expandable memory. Note 20ultra is the last of the OG Supreme phones and I’m keeping it. Not upgrading until they make it worth it.

Also to that point It depends on the terminals a lot of gas station restaurants and other places that still accept MST That's not as a big push for NFC so a lot of that older technology is being pushed down Like yes the phones will still support them but there may be a hit or miss if you can actually still do the tap to pay so that's why a lot of phones are now using NFC

This is a very detailed review and it is very informative. Thanks a lot. I plan on buying the Note 20ultra primarily cause i am more of a screen and Note fan

The 23 ultra produces better fine/texture details in 12 mp shots. Older Samsungs used to smudge details with their older terrible noise reduction system(bad processing). They are much better preserved with this new sensor and lenses. And of course the 50 mp raw, much better video(day and night) , 50 mp and 200mp jpegs. Ufs 4.0. Better battery. Brighter screen. Many reasons to upgrade😎

If you use emulators, the difference in performance is huge, but no MicroSD sucks.

Very special phone. Last flagship from Samsung to support expandable storage and MST in Samsung Pay, yet still sporting the relatively new UWB. Also, SoC (snapdragon variant) is the one just before two consecutive generations of questionable SoC from Qualcomm (sd888 and SD 8 gem ). It's such a pity Samsung decides not to keep supporting it. Maybe if it receives enough support and feedback Samsung might change its mind. Can't imagine though. Also the 1Tb sd card/dual sim option🔥

I still don't get it why people always upgrade their flagship phones every year, wherein they are designed to last for 5 or more years until they are unusable. Like yeah I know last Android 13 update but for what? Apps in Play store will support an Android version for around 5 or 6 more years.

thank you. this was very helpful in deciding to upgrade.

It's not a huge upgrade but the s23 ultra is a better phone. Feels better in the hand in my opinion. I get about 3 more hours of SOT which makes it worth it to me. The battery life is excellent on the s23 ultra. Everything feels a little bit smoother and I hated the huge camera bump on the note 20 ultra. The external storage is fading. They are getting rid of it whether we like it or not. It sucks but it is what it is. I got the 512 gb and I don't see myself going through that in 3 years. Note 20 ultra was a beast of a phone but the s23 ultra feels better to me in every category.

Im not sure if im going to upgrade yet the only reason im considering it is i hate the camera on n20u. I wouldnt really think about it if i had n10
