Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G AI Smartphone (Phantom Black, 12GB, 256GB Storage)

I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and it's truly a powerhouse. The stunning display, incredible 200MP camera with flawless zoom, and smooth performance make it a joy to use every day. Battery easily lasts a full day, and the built-in S Pen adds a layer of productivity I didn’t know I needed. It feels premium in hand, handles multitasking effortlessly, and captures brilliant photos even in low light. While it's a bit large and charging isn’t the fastest, the overall experience is exceptional easily one of the best phones I’ve ever owned.

I had switched to the S23 Ultra from the iPhone 13. For me, the S23 Ultra is in a different league compared to the iPhone 13. The cameras are so much better and the telephoto lens of the phone also adds an interesting and useful component to the phone. even when gaming, it gives me 120 fps in most of the games. the display is fantastic and even the charging is adequately fast and reliable. (you need to buy the 45w charger separately.) apart from that, the speakers are fantastic and the haptic feedback is great too. The only major downside I found is that it heats a little bit while you play heavy games and the phone charges slowly while being used. overall, if you can get this phone below 85k now, definitely go for it as it almost has no difference compared to the S24 ultra. The battery backup is also great and 1.5 charging cycles lasts me the entire day. (my average SOT is 10-14 hours). The S pen is also quite handy and is useful occasionally. I would say this is the best all-rounder Android phone you can get if you're looking for a phone below the 100k barrier. Also, the phone will get updates till Android 17 so there is no worry of the OS falling back in time and will run you a good 3 years even if you buy the phone now. Remember that the phone is huge and only buy it if you're comfortable with this form factor or this phone may render as useless to you. go for the regular s23 models if you're not a hardcore user but if you have the budget and requiremnts of the features in this phone i would 100% recommend this phone to you.

After using Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for quite a bit as a daily driver and coming back to Samsung after a long time after using other smaller form factor phones like ONEPLUS 9, here's what I think about this phone.PROS:- This phone has the best camera ever installed into a smartphone, hands-down! No other phone made in human history can ever come close to 1% of what Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra's cameras can do.- Performance is crazy! Not only it has Snapdragon 8Gen-2, but that too custom-made for Samsung Galaxy phones. You can play any games, run any apps and do whatever you'd want from a phone that is used at work, gaming, taking photos/videos and for personal use at the same time.- Rectangular form factor of this phone makes it so much comfortable and easy to hold. And it looks very premium too, which obviously is expected from a phone that costs this much.- OneUI has so many great features that they cannot be listed in one place. It brings a whole new meaning to "smart" in smartphones. Previously only Apple was making real smartphones that were actually smart and now with OneUI 5.1, Samsung has joined the league and probably done a better job than Apple at this point.- Good Lock modules + OneUI 5.1 has such a tremendous level of customization in terms of many aspects of the usability. It doesn't have all of it, to which I'll come in "CONS" section.- Charging time is good, reverse charging and wireless charging are such a sweet add-on that helps and makes the experience really good.- S-Pen does the wonders! Very useful specially for those who use their phone for professional work like eSigning and other precision work.- Build quality and software are really premium, you'll know you've sold a kidney when you hold this phone in your hands and turn up the max resolution on display.- S23 Ultra is slightly more flat on sides as compared to S22 Ultra which makes it a more usable phone.CONS:- Now, since this phone has a curved display which adds no usability but makes it little difficult to use for people with smaller hands or to reach to corners with one hand, it becomes little hard to get used to this kind of display even if you've used a curved display phone with smaller form factor before because S23 Ultra is HUGE!- Another issue with curved screen, since there's a decent curve in screen, finding a screen protector is really hard! Tempered glasses don't fit well, they get spaced by covers/cases, Samsung officially doesn't make tempered glass for S23 Ultra. Samsung sells a thin membrane sheet for ₹1,500/- which has a cutout for camera and collects dust. Having no screen protection means having your second kidney at risk too!- No charger in the box (ugh) and the cable that comes with it is really flimsy. Doesn't look like it came with a flagship phone. ONEPLUS makes 10x better cables so better buy one from them.- A phone this expensive should have all the necessary features right? But the OneUI 5.1 doesn't come with an app lock. Samsung Secure Folder is nice but not usable for a day-to-day use. Secure Folder is fine for hiding images and apps but not convenient for daily access. There's no Good Lock module to have app lock either.- OneUI 5.1 (unlike many other UIs like OxygenOS 13 and ColorOS 13) doesn't give option to rename apps in app drawer. Ability to use 3rd party icon packs just came recently. And installing a 3rd party launcher kind of ruins the UI for recent apps screen.- OneUI 5.1 requires installation of a 3rd party Good Lock module to even configure what icons will appear on your navigation bar.- Overall this is a really good phone, best I'd say! But OneUI 5.1 lacks some basic features which should've been implemented.- But other than these minor software issues and some hardware inconveniences, this phone is definitely a recommendation.

I recently upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and it's been a fantastic experience. The phone is incredibly fast, thanks to its top-tier processor and ample RAM. Multitasking is seamless, and even the most demanding apps run without a hitch.The display is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp detail, making it perfect for watching videos or playing games. The 120Hz refresh rate makes everything feel smooth and responsive.The camera is where this phone truly shines. The 200MP main camera captures exceptional detail, even in low light, and the zoom capabilities are unreal. I can zoom in from far distances and still get clear, usable shots. The S Pen is another standout feature, making it easier to take notes, navigate, and even edit photos.The battery life is solid, lasting a full day with moderate to heavy use, and fast charging is a lifesaver when I need a quick top-up.Overall, the S23 Ultra is an all-around powerhouse that excels in performance, display quality, and photography. It’s definitely worth the investment if you're looking for a premium smartphone. Highly recommended!
