      I have an S21 and the battery lasts all day, sometimes into the next depending on usage.
      The battery is really good providing you you turn off a lot of stuff in Settings that is turned by default. Most people don't use much of that stuff anyway

    Wish they would make an Ultra-Mini. Same tech as the Ultra, but as small as possible. I don't need a giant screen, but I do like having the best possible image quality. In fact, a waterproof Galaxy Flip with the same high end cameras from the Ultra would be my phone of choice. I'm not old enough to get a leather phone pouch for my belt yet!

    Samsung wants to establish a phone design that can stand for generations to come. Similar to how Apple does it with their iphones. You dont see them change designs drastically.

Currently running the iPhone 13 pro max. Fantastic battery life and video performance. I have the 128gb version so I do want more storage, and sometimes my apps reset themselves, so I have to log in again even though I have 40gb left of storage. Never had that issue on any of my samsungs before, there sure are pros and cons to both systems.

    This isn't some ground breaking comment, but I'm getting pretty tired of companies releasing $1k+ phones every year and barely changing anything. Nice cameras are cool, but if you're really into photography, 1k will get you a really solid DSLR (you can get a used 5D mark iv for around that). If you need a big surface, get a tablet. I don't want all these things crammed into one phone to where the company itself doesnt even trust their own product's longevity and so they dish out a new one each year with a slightly different camera and slightly better processing. I want a phone that is quick, has good battery, comes with a charging cable AND brick, comes with a screen protector and case, and lasts longer than a year or two. I dont replace my laptop, my gaming system, my guitar amp, my recording software every year, so why are phones any different?

    I can say for a fact the S22+ & S22 Ultra both take noticeably better pics than the S21+ another family member has. The S20 we had before isn't even close. We've done several side-by-sides of the same subject matter. The more challenging the lighting situation the more the improvement. The color tones are consistently better too. Some people say there aren't many improvements year to year, but that's not true. If you're a phone camera power-user who cares about pictures, or want more creativity, newer tech and AI has made them a lot better in the last couple years. We ditched our DSLR. Newer phones do a better job in just about all cases, even when pixel-peeping on a big 4k TV (via a HDMI cable). One of our family members may upgrade to the S23 this year. Cant wait to see the improvements. It looks like there are several. But if pictures aren't a user's thing, there may not be enough benefits to upgrade (this yr). Can't wait to see more reviews. Thanks Chap!

    I currently have a an S9 (s5 before that and s3 before that). I am considering an S23+ or Ultra. The idea of a larger screen and more memory is intriguing to me but I'm worried it may be too big. I have large hands... I'm 6'3" so big guy. Looking for feedback from those that have made the switch to the large phone. Not as concerned about the cost as much as the size. Also, what about those square edges on ultra? Will it hurt my hand after awhile? I use it a lot. Oh, and is a lot brighter outside than the S9? That alone would be a big improvement for me.

      I've yet to see one without a statement along the lines of "any work software or resource installed on a personal device, will make it a property of [company]; who can wipe it or remote control in case of [...]" either under Bring Your Own Device or Intelectual Propery sections.
      So even if you don't have to install a software/app that will enable them to do stuff to your phone, depending on the local laws, your contract and company policy; you could lose ownership/access to your phone or data on it.

      This is what i really wanted to know. I have a note 20 ultra but the screen went out. Which is normally a cheap fix because of my coverage but, the back glass shattered meaning they have to total the phone for $250. So looking at upgrade options. I was between the ultra and the plus.
      1. I hate the edge on the ultras and previous notes. Screen protector nightmare.
      2. I dont use the s pen that often anymore.
      3. At&t had a deal where the plus will be free with trade in in any condition and the ultra is $5/month for 36 months.
      Plus seems like it will be much more enjoyable day to day. Though the screen and ram are degraded. The lower ram shouldnt be noticable with it being faster and coupled with a faster processor. The screen was my only concern

      I would go for the ultra but it has too many personal cons that outweigh the pros.
      Yes, i like QHD but i hate the edge screen. I hate it. Screen protectors for it suck. Iv gone through many cases.
      Iv also found myself using my S pens less and less these days so i dont have much need for one.
      The ultra does have 12GB ram on the 512 option which i like.
      Imma go for the s23+. Should have great battery, its not much different in size from my note 8 which looks fine on FHD+ (still stupid they didnt give the s23+QHD). And the s23+ has 45w charging, higher storage and the faster ram
      And the biggest thing is. At&t has a deal on all three with a trade in. So while i can get the ultra with 36 payments of $5. The s23+ will will have no payments at all.
      So all together, as much as im triggered by the fhd screen, the s23 is the better option for me.
      Also, quick note on the ram. While its only 8GB, you generally shouldnt see much difference if your stepping down from 12 as its faster memory coupled with a much faster processor so tasks are handled much quicker so anything thats ram intensive should get bogged down as its speed is keeping up with its slight lack of space
