My S23 Ultra held up alright... The performance is still blazing fast, and the cameras are still amazing. My battery took a hit big time. My phone gets noticeably warm occasionally, and that's on light usage. When my phone gets warm, the battery will drain -1% every 2 minutes. My battery will go from 88% to 79% in a matter of 15 minutes.
even the S21 series is still blazing fast with one UI 6.1
S24u s23u both got battery issues after April update, I hope the June update fixes it because it can be fixed.. before the update battery was waayyy better like at least 7 hous and above even 11 hours for some users
@@wheely4405 My phone has been doing this February. I might have a defective battery.
My battery is better now after the may update.
The problem I have now is the charging time. It's too slow. It is now taking 1 hour and 45 minutes to charge from 0% to 10%
I hope this will get fixed with the June update
This is because of the OneUI 6.1 update. After I reverted to OneUI 6 on my S23U everything went back to normal. I'll just wait until android 15 and update.
It literally came out last year and it's their top tier phone of 2023; if it wasn't still worth it one year later they'd deserve to shut everything down 😂
Obviously these titles are to attract attention and curiosity.. it is obvious that even in 1 or 2 years it will still be a beast 😊
@@XxSenpaiixX At least for 5 years
@nasarkhan113 do you think it will still be a beast until 2030? I have my doubts, now it's still as if it had been released yesterday, but in 4/5 years it will already be obsolete in my opinion. for me a phone is obsolete after 6 years, it has already given everything it could give
@@XxSenpaiixX I think it will especially for average users, it will obviously need a battery change at some point but the chip is too good, its the apps that are not optimised enough to use the full power of this year and last year chips. Even the camera software quality is not using the full potential of the camera hardware. Unless there is next generation batteries, 8k screens or dlsr quality cameras there really is no need to upgrade for many years
@@XxSenpaiixX Consider that some people still use the iphone 5/6, or the note 9, to this day. Even if it will become obsolete, it will still be usable for most users. The only limitation is the battery life, that's how these companies scam people into buying new tech unfortunately
Man you need to bring back the customization vids.
Set up looks clean. What widget did you use?
Yo! Good to see you again, bro. I'm currently using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and it's an absolute beast! I haven't had any issues with it so far.
I just bought my 23 ultra yesterday, I'm in love with it
me too
Why not s24 ultra?
Brother which variant is it?
@fevad1246 S24ultra suffers from the grainy display issue or mura effect available in the low brightness in dark mode that has not been fixed with the latest software updates even indicating a hardware issue.
@@gudlutripathy3283 It is a matte display, thats why.
They have a film over the screen so no software update is gonna fix it
That front page looks clean! I'm loving my S23 Ultra but I want to refresh my homepage. What apps are you using for the customization?
Same question, setup looks fire. What's on my phone vid 👀?
S23 ultra is better then s24 ultra thats my opinion
I also prefer s23
Agreed.
Yes
I’m thinking the same thing
It's the only phone you need the s23 ultra is it it does everything you need lacking nothing apple on the other hand needs to stop cloneing Samsung lol
What emulator/controller are you using at 2:50? Awesome review btw. I love my s23U and look forward to keeping it for a few more years.
I was waiting impatiently for 'Making it mine' videos. You haven't done these for quite a while, Zach.
he is busy in making her mine
Please tell the name of the game at 1:28
Watching this video on my S23 Ultra right now. Honestly wondering if the S25 will be enough of a jump to make me give this one up.
s23utra is perfect
Won't be if no 10x 50 Mp sensor
Do you play PUBG using Samsung dex ?
Do you have a life? Buying flagship phones every 2 years ? Even billionaires don't care enough for not having absolute latest phone. Only middle class with spoiled mind would do this
@@fevad1246lol funny question from an internet troll 🤣
Where did you get the date and time widgetshown @ 7:16.
my samsung album and video app froze today. when i tapped it the app turns black screen and video app showed video folders with question mark. but when swipe notif down it would still work.so the album app is the only app froze. this is the first time i had issues on my s23u. anyone had these issues?
Do they ship to Canada ?
Oh my god. Finally you uploaded a video on CZcams. Please upload regularly. Thank you 😊
Great content. Question : were did you get your home screen wallpapers from. I still have my s23 ultra. It's still a beast. If the s25 ultra doesn't knock my socks off, I'm keeping my s23 ultra.
Moon wallpaper name please?
Got mine last night straight saw for iPhone 15 and love it already
I bought one for $400 bucks unlocked and it's so dope still and for a at least 3 more years
What is the theme that you have shown
The same goes for the $22 ultra which I still use and have not traded in for the S24 ultra yet but am waiting to see what the 25 does
Please, a guide to your wallpaper and the widget
What icon pack are you using?? So I can use it for my s23 ultra too 👀
Looking for this answer too.. Can anyone help?
Bro is back 🙌🏼🙌🏼
My s 23u now takes about two hours to change from 0 to 100%.
This started after the one UI 6.1 updat. Everything else is superb
nah, even I turn off the fast charging PPS 2.0, it only takes around 1h50 to fully charging (I do have 5A cable and 45W charger)
Nice review zac
Moon wallpaper name please??
Home Screen Clock widget?
Pls share the Tue May theme on the Home Screen and car game name
My wife has my S23U since I upgraded to the S24U ... I still prefer the 10x over the 5x on the new one. Nice video as always 🥔
Even after seeing the unpacked event the only thing I am upgrading is my Watch Classic 4 to an Ultra Watch but my Unlocked 1TB S23 Ultra is still one of my all time favorite phones. I got it just after the 4 months of the S23 Ultra being released and only because my S22Ultra was dropped and the whole phone had to be replaced and to my luck they went ahead and gave me the 23Ultra brand new in a box and unlocked cause they had no unlocked models!
🥔 gang, Great video as always zach! Im still rockin my S23U and its for sure one of the best devices I've owned. Love everthing about it and its performance has held up incredibly well. I decided to skip the S24U since it didnt really offer too many upgrades overall, just AI stuff, which the S23U got in a software update later anways. Im probably gonna wait and see if there is any noticeable hardware upgrades in the S25U or S26U to consider upgrading, but I think the S23U will hold up for a while. Also, as a fellow dallas native, how bout them mavs baby.
You can get the S24 line for the prices of the S23 refurbished on Amazon and Best Buy. Oof.
Bought mine from Best Buy used
Working great!
Which game was he played at 1.25 timestamp
S23 ultra is a great phone that will be good in 5 years
I agree
Only 5 years ? Lol my southeast Asian parents looking at price tag of this phone and say " this better last atleast 8 years"
Wallpapers please?
need the clock widget name, it's perfect :)
Watching on my s23 ultra 🎉
Watching this with my s23u
Same Just got mine
@@SilvioAkwhy not s24 ultra?
@fevad1246 There are 2 reasons. Number 1, it's too expensive. Number 2, I didn't like the design.
@@SilvioAk oh ok
Awesome ❤
How does it compare against the 15 pro max these days? Which phone do you prefer?
S23ultra except for cameras and gaming
@wheely4405 meh the only part in camera is video recording which goes to iPhone. Pictures are far better voted by ppl in blind test(not knowing which device are the pics from) they all say some specific phone that turns out to be google pixel then 2nd or 3rd place samsung but iPhone? Lol not even in the last 10 positions
@fevad1246 I agree , if we compare s23u to 14 pro , but I think 15pro beats s23u, the dynamic range is really good on the 15pro at least on wide lens and it gives some good contrast while Samsung tends to brighten the shadows a lot sometimes wich does bring up more detail but it also makes the picture look hazy , but on the iphone u can edit the pic afterwards and make the shadows more bright if u want so I think 15 pro takes it.. 5x is also lot more usable while 10x doesn't have that clarity.. it's only 10mp with small aperture and at night it performs worse than apples digital 10x from 5x lens..
S24u does beat the iphone 15 pm in photography tho , because they reduced a lot that hazy look of wide lens and added both 5x optical and 10x but really well optimised and u also get that 3x wich is very low quality if the lighting isn't really good. But still it has many use cases u can use it all you want in daylight. The wide shots on s24u on daylight are just very well balanced in my opinion, iphone kinda makes the sky very white blue kind of color..
Anyway that's a big azz reply without much proof so it's pointless and Ill stop it here 😂 even tho I could explain further
Another killer video from Zach! I’ve always had a soft spot for officially refurbished devices, as they perform identically to new ones, are better for the environment, and better for the wallet!
Thanks, homie 🙏🏽 Agreed!
Yes, I believe it is worthwhile. I also cracked my screen, and they replaced it for me with a new, genuine one. I received it in like-new condition.
I got the s23 ultra my mate just the s24 ultra and personally I prefer the 23 just my opinion
I still love my s23 ultra, might switch out in 2025 tho
Am i the only one that actually prefers this curve screen to flat one on the s 23
Where is Nothing products reviews?
Watching on my s23 ultra 💪💪💪
bro need a video on vivo x3 fold
Even Though I have the S24 this S23 is still definitely a great phone
🥔 was a great phone. Miss it in an odd way even though I am rocking the S24 Ultra. Which I also love
Same here
I keep going for 10x on my s24 ultra and being disappointed
What's new in s24 ultra again? I forgot other than the ai blah blah stuff ofcourse but What's in hardware ?
1.Pretty sure some retailers in my region acctually have brand new stock of S23s.
2. I´m on a Fold4 but are looking for a replacement.
most because of the form and size. What do you think of that? suggestions?
( I want the S23u because of the zoom and camera. S-pen. the perfomance should be even better than the 1y older fold? )
I just bought this one 😁😎 tks.bro, new video.about top apps ?. Greetings from Mexico
Why nor s24 ultra?
Pleaseeeeee drop the homescreen of this.
I'm still using mines probaly until the Ultra 25 comes out.
Too soon. I think you will be happy till s27
You have life ? Only spoiled mind middle class person would say this. Even billionaires don't care enough to not have absolute latest phones
I really prefer that curved display over the flat one
I had the S24 Ultra and had to get rid of it. Hurt my hands and was the most uncomfortable phone I have ever used. I can see if you are tall and have big hands, but I am a shorter guy and my hands are smaller. Definitely not for me. Wish they put effort into their smaller phones like apple. Make a 6.5 ultra like device or 6.4” one. They could make it work.
Apple puts 60hz display with less cameras than s23 base model
@@wheely4405 not sure what this adds to the discussion.
@doomy_doomy2225 u want Samsung to copy something from apple and u explain what you want Samsung to Copy but apple doesn't even do it , there's no small iphone with pro max level of camera, Chip and display.
Doomy doomy more like dummy dummy
Bet u never even had an ultra, put 3 fingers on the back of the phone your pinky underneath and thumb on the screen and boom the corners just don't touch your hand , how do you get the corners to dig in your hands I don't understand it , also there's on hand operation + on Good lock why don't u give it a try for 2 - 3 weeks and try getting a muscle memory to it , personally I use it and I love it it makes many things faster , I would still use it even if the phone was tiny it just makes things faster
@@wheely4405 still waiting for you to add something to the conversation lol. Also Apple does pretty much give the smaller pros the same specs and features all the ultra. This year they didn’t well because physics lol. Samsung doesn’t even try. So like I said before, how do your comments snd insults add to the conversation. 😂
@doomy_doomy2225 u say it gives the same specs , how can you say that with that 60hz display, u are just a fanboy. They can't add better cameras and display because of physics? U believe that shit ? What physics man?
Wake up zach just posted ❤
Iqoo Neo 9 pro
Samsung makes some of the best displays there is.
🥔 GANG! FIRE VID AS ALWAYS!
It will still be worth it in 2045
Still beast 23
I went for the s23 ultra but got the s24 instead 😊😊😊
Good as s24 ultra if not better love my s23 ultra
I just found one for 299 😂 in a thrift shop. The joy is not even managable
I miss curved displays 😢
True! That's what made them flagship! Idk why ppl hate them though
Perfect? Vivo x100 ultra
So it’s worth it?
Watch from pakistan 🇵🇰 dude
S23 ultra or iphone 15 plus?
Comparing sales offer sales right?😅
@@maytan1475 yupp on BBD sale this year? Battery and camera perspective?
@@purachiranjeeth972 bud I'm alos thinking about this phone☺️
I will make video on yt 😅
I think more than a review, this was a paid advert 😐
🥔!!!
Still here in 2024 using Note 20 Ultra 😅
That phone isn't terrible as ppl think it is. Aside from low lasting battery, everything else is good about it
@@fevad1246 i have been using it for 2+ years; really no complains just don't like the size of it. I actually bought it because I found it at an irresistible price
Man, so the Russian mafia never reached you, glad to see you again
🥔
This phone for me is still amazing I have the 512gb +12gb ram my wife has a 24 ultra I still prefer s23 ultra battery use is basically identical same for the camera same for the speed some cases you can even find a 23 ultra camera is better also some people don't like the curve on the screen but this is a very minimal curve excellent for viewing videos and content and one of the best cases you can get is the Spigen Optik Armor because it covers also the side edges so it really doesn't even feel like the phone has curved edges I would definitely recommend this phone to anybody a long battery life amazing camera and Video excellent viewing angles still one of the best phones you can get hands down
in 2025
samsung 24 ultra is better than s25 ultra 😅
Great job! This is not even a comeback video, this is just one of your good quality videos that you've gotten us used to! Straight fire visuals, commentary & assessment. 👍🫡🔥
