Battery life is really good. It lasts all day and doesn't need to be charged. I charged it one time and forgot to plug it in when I was asleep and the battery has not died yet.

The screen is big and really bright. You can turn up the screen brightness all the way and see the screen when you are outside in direct sunlight and not have to worry.

The camera is sharp and better than anything I have have used before. I'm excited to take more pictures.

The loading time on apps is instant and there is no delay when clicking on an app or using Chrome. Web pages load faster than my old phone. I'm getting full speed from my xfinity modem and I'm getting over 500 mb/s when I do a speed test.

The pen is a nice feature I didn't expect to like it so much. It is comfortable to hold and sensitive when you touch the screen and has an instant response time when using it. It has its own battery and a long battery life.

I upgraded from a Galaxy s9 which is over 5 years old to a new phone . I upgraded because I couldn't get my phones battery to last more than 5 hours a day.

Overall I give it a 5 star review because the main selling point was the 5000 mAh battery. I would recommend it to anyone who's battery doesn't last the whole day.

I love this phone, I am an engineer and a teacher. All its functionalities are very complete. I haven't finished testing all the hardware features, but this would definitely be the order in which I would characterize this device:

1. Battery and camera. Without a doubt this device has a wonderful duration. Reaching 2 days of battery with normal and active use is perfect. I'm not that picky about the camera, but the photos meet all my expectations.

2. Speed "‹"‹and performance. This device is extremely fluid.

3. The s-pen is an excellent resource for productivity.

The screen is not far behind, and it is one of Samsung's strengths.

I really struggled to hold onto my Note9, but it finally gave up the ghost. I really took my time trying to decide upon a new S23 Ultra. I couldn't be happier. Great speed, nice screen display, long lasting battery, and what a great camera. The zoom on this phone is great with image stabilization and super clarity. The last time I got a picture of the moon like these, I had to use an adapter with a telescope. The picture of Mt. Rainier in WA State was taken on a particularly hazy day due to Canadian wildfires. The camera made the sky more blue and trees more green than they appeared irl. And check out how close I could zoom into thar glacier wall on the mountain. Spectacular.

Writing this review roughly 3 months after owning this phone and using it daily. It's worked like a dream ever since day one, speaking from someone who's switched back and forth from iPhone to Samsung over the years. I can say that I prefer Samsung because of all the unique features, performance and build quality. The only real issue I had with the phone at first was that for whatever reason my text messages wouldn't send, but after a quick restart they did, so I wrote it off as being a carrier related bug. Aside from that, it's still the best phone that I've bought to date considering that my previous phone (The iPhone 13) which isn't that old at all, only ever gave me weird issues and poor battery life. Overall I can say that switching back to Samsung was so worth it some key features I like about this phone is how Customizable it is, as well as the 200x lens, and the 120hz screen. Not to mention the battery life is amazing, I can take it off the charger around 6:30 in the morning, and by the time I'm getting ready for bed which is typically around Midnight, I'm still left with anywhere from 30-40%. Granted it depends in how much I use the phone throught the day but thats typically the average percentage.

I got this phone on sale, $200 off, 256gb version. Samsung doesnt offer a 128gb version on the ultra, which is bogus in my opinion. Amazon prime offered same day shipping, which was nice. Phone arrived intact and fine. No problems with shipping.

The build quality of the S23 Ultra is very solid and feels good in the hands. The matte finish on the back is very nice and smooth, leaves no fingerprints. The screen feels really good and smooth. The s pen is nice to have, but I find that I dont use it that much. Its nice when taking photos you can set up the phone and press the s pen button to take the photo when youre ready. Speaking of the camera, the photos are excellent quality. This phone is equipped with a 200mp camera, which takes some very detailed and clear photos. I would say this phone has the best camera compared to every other phone. This phone is equipped with a 5000 mah battery, which lasts the whole day. The fingerprint sensor works 98% of the time, when my hand is very dry it doesnt work as well. I havent tested facial recognition yet so I cant speak on that. The screen is 120 hz, and looks and feels very smooth.

The android skin this phone uses, OneUI, is one of the better android skins on the market. The customization of this phone is way better than IOS in my opinion, you can do so much more. One thing I dislike about the os is that after every time i swipe up to exit an app, the samsung quick access wallet app pops up in place of the spot where I use to swipe to exit apps. I find this very annoying and I'm not sure where to disable it. One other thing I dislike is this phone requires you to have two different accounts with Google and Samsung, whereas with iPhone, all you need is an icloud account.

Screen protectors are hard to put on this phone because of the curved edges, so be mindful of that.

Overall, this is a VERY solid flagship device, if youre in the market for a new cell phone, this is the phone to buy.
