Lightning-fast device that takes razor-sharp photos

  • Razor-sharp photos
  • Large and colorful screen
  • Handy S Pen
  • Big and heavy

I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for a few weeks and was impressed with the cameras, screen and speed. The size and weight are the only downsides in addition to the slow charging speed.

Razor-sharp photos
I tested the Galaxy S23 Ultra's 4 different cameras and was very impressed. With the telephoto lens I took razor-sharp photos of animals that were far away in their enclosure in the zoo. The wide-angle lens also does its job well. I easily photograph a large building without being very far away. Thanks to the night mode, I can also take photos with lots of details and clear colors in low light.

Large and colorful screen
The screen of the Samsung S23 Ultra is very large, which is both a plus and a minus. I like the big screen when I watch a series on Netflix. It is difficult for me to reach the top of the screen with my fingers. So I need two hands to operate the S23 Ultra. Furthermore, the screen is razor-sharp and colors look vibrant. When I play a 3D game, animations look smooth thanks to the high refresh rate of the screen.

Handy S Pen
I myself had never used a stylus with my smartphone, but I notice that I find it useful every now and then. For example, I quickly make a note during a meeting or I use the S Pen to edit videos more precisely.

Fast device
The Samsung S23 Ultra is lightning fast, just like the other devices from the S23 series. I switch smoothly between my different apps. Heavy apps and 3D games start quickly and don't falter when I use them. In split screen view, I'm watching a video of a recipe on YouTube while making a shopping list at the same time.

Good battery life, slow charging
The battery of my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra easily lasts a whole day. If I listen to music all day and occasionally check my social media, the battery drains slowly. However, the battery charges rather slowly. It takes just over an hour to fully charge the battery.

  • Camera hardware and software

  • 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.

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.
