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.

More than a great phone, but I do miss the feeling of real innovation or improvement (previous phone was Note 20 ultra)
