Went from Galaxy S9 to S23 ultra. This is an insane jump!
I might upgrade from a s10 to a s23 ultra
I bet, it is 14 generations neweer jeez
@@NuwandaSM it’s just 5 generations newer
I have the s9+ although the s23 ultra screen is awesome the phone is just too big. They should have made QHD display on the s23+

lol, the writing?
There is no shutter lag. It's just set to take a picture when you lift your finger off. This can be changed through camera assistant.
Battery life in the S23U has definitely improved greatly over the S22U but I bought the ZeroLemon 10,000 mAh battery case for the Galaxy S23U. Now, the S23U battery never dies. What sucks is now my S23U has complete protection but my pockets aren't big enough for this size battery case. My pockets would need to be deep and wide as my mother's purse for it to fit into.
Went from an S8 I'd been using for almost 6 years to an S23 ultra and I can't believe how long the battery lasts and how good the cameras are. Wow!
Same! It's been 6 years with my S8. About to get the S23 Ultra today!
A telephone call; Any good??
Going from a 9plus to a 23 ultra! Thought I was the only one with an "old" phone
same, I have my s8 for 6 years, I want to buy the s23 cuz it's looking good. There is a big diff between s23 normal and s23 ultra ? it's worth the price ?
@@gabrielripw0lf293 the s23 ultra is better in a lot of points but if you: prefer smaller phones, don't have a "professional use" of cameras, and don't need a stylus, go for the s23 (+)
The little camera snap sounds when showing photos taken with the phone is new and is a nice touch :)
I read your comment first and still only noticed it in the video after 15th photo or so :). Great touch indeed
I maybe thought the same when I first noticed it, but I don't like it. Especially while he's talking.
Can you switch it off? Don't know about Samsung & the Koreans but, in the early days, all the Japanese phones had to have a snap sound to their cameras, to stop the perverts from taking "up skirt" snapshots on the subway. A sort of 'bakachon' sound.
I need that wallpaper. Who makes it?
Great video as always! Thank you for being consistent in your reviews so I can be confident in my purchases!
Came back to this video after all this time just to say that my family surprised me and bought me the s23 ultra for new years. I have been using the s10 plus for almost 3 years now, and im just blown away by this phone. The difference is astronomical for me.
The best example i found was, imagine making yourself a salad with a plastic knife(the 10s plus) and now im using a Japanese steel chef's knife.
This phone is so much fun.
S21 plus to s23 ultra here. Gotta admit the battery and efficiency are fantastic
Ok
My S21+ is still going strong so I won't switch for a while, but if they keep going strong for the next couple years I may have to consider a galaxy s24 or s25 ultra, instead of switching to a pixel like I've been considering
@@FinneasJedidiah I still use Note 9 and torn between 14 pro max and S23U (been Samsung user for 8 years tho). Wished to ask how's the battery performance on your s21+ after these years? My biggest concern is whether Samsung phones still get laggy after a year or couple of years?
@@SampsfaN my s21u not even a lag with 120hz rock solid. Just need to upgrade because the battery life is night and day.
I purchased the Samsung S23 Ultra 2 days ago, still trying to work it all out. My previous phone....it was a Samsung 9....yep that's right...a Samsung 9....an old one. It lasted for 5 years so it did the job.

Well done!
I've had this phone for two weeks now and it's a juggernaut. The performance is elite and the battery is out of this world. Samsung went deep in their bag with this S23 Ultra.
Its the same as the S22 and S23 lmao deep in the bag😂😂😂
@@AM-wi6zoThey look the same, but the s23 ultra seems for "flagship" compared to the s22 ultra.
After having an ultra myself and now broken. Ive been researching pixel pro. It seems like a lot of people that have had both prefer pixel in so many ways. Smasung has a model that pushes you to replace your shit every year. Software is far simplier and better on pixel@@AM-wi6zo

@@wafflemaine3953 I don't know if you are responding to me. If so I will tell you. I got the pixel 8 pro and I prefer it over Samsung.
Pre-ordered today. A big step up from my S10. Also in terms of size which I'm not used to yet.
Have u got a delivery date yet? If u got black or green it should come faster. I'm debating if I want to pre-order or wait 1 week till launch. My luck lately pre-order will come the end of February lol.
You're gonna hate the size if you have small hands 😔
Im happy for you. Its really the best feeling after u use a phone(actually a tech device) for 4+ years and retire it. I am even bonded to my old calculator xD. I felt it when i switched my iphone 6 to pixel 6 last year. My iphone 6 will be in my personal tech museum cuz of the memories we shared together.

You skipped 12 phones? Wow amazing 😜
I've had an S23 Ultra for almost a year and I didn't know I could change the screen resolution.. It was on 1080p. 1440 is absolutely stunning. What a gorgeous screen

Late to the party here and just found your channel, and I’ve been devouring your videos. Brilliant stuff!! You have a way of communicating technical detail that satisfies geeks, but in a way that doesn’t alienate amateurs. Absolutely top flight stuff! Keep it up, thanks, and other than your apparent love of FC Barcelona I can’t find any faults! 😂
I went from S22 Ultra to S23 Ultra and even I noticed the difference in battery and Cameras. The ability to actually have a sharp signature in PDF's is a big thing for me too.
How is the haptics incomparison to s22+??
S23+ Ultra Pro Max Ultimate Fold iv
@Santosh Sharma TBH, the S23 Ultra haptics give good feedback, but unfortunately feels identical to the S22 Ultra. Not as strong as the iPhone, however. I usually have it turned all the way up, though, and it feels good in hand.
@@dmitrii_cl 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I went from a video to another 😅
Went from a note 8 to S23 Ultra. Huge upgrade for me. The battery life is crazy.
I did too. Gigantic upgrade from Note 8. My note 8 was doing fine until I ran out of space, and a 1/4 of the screen sensor malfunctioned. Otherwise it was keeping up.
How much is the SOT? I am hesitating between IP 14 plus and 23 Ultra but thanks to this video is no question...
Still on S6 ..........ahhhhhhhhh
that's a big upgrade
@Abdullah Hasan woah and you still have space 🤯
Your phone reviews are so simple and yet so good
Decided on a whim to buy the S23 Ultra. Upgraded from my S10 Plus which still works beautifully 4 years later. The S23 Ultra feels like a wise older sibling to the S10 Plus. Love the performance of both phones.
I'm in the same boat as you, thinking of upgrading to the ultra from the s10+. Might just have to pull the trigger even though I will miss the expandable memory
I just upgraded from the Galaxy Note 20 to the S23 Ultra this week, and I love it. This S23 Ultra is so much faster than my Note 20, and the camera is so much better, but it still feels like my Note 20.
Same here but from a Note10 lite! Absolutely loving it.
Im currently on note 10 plus. Still thinking if i should do this upgrade 😅
There isn’t a phone design better than s10 plus (Period)

A note for 10:08 - You can actually improve the shutter lag by installing camera assistant from the Samsung store then search capture speed and select "prioritize speed".
Does this decrease quality?
@@creeperkillermartin1 it does but the decrease in quality are minimal or atleast not noticeable
@@creeperkillermartin1 the quality decreases with harsher environments. in normal conditions the photos look almost identical
I haven't used the Good Luck app for over a year and was unaware of the Camera Assistant app's existence. Thank you for your info 🙏
"Quick Tap Shutter" in the S23 is what you need to make the sutter speed be super fast. Just go into native camara settings.
I'm jumping from the Note 20 Ultra to the S23 Ultra. It's on order (back order) with 512GB memory. I should have it in a week, but am learning more about it while I wait. Awesome video with very good and pertinent information. I'm now following your channel! Thanks!
Please do more intros like this. Absolutely amazing 👏
I went from the 21 ultra to the 23 ultra, the battery improvement is pretty huge, although I did have the Exynos S21 ultra.
What's your experience with cameras and the S-pen? You think it's worth it?
@@Mardoxx7 The front camera is pretty poor in third-party apps. I guess the Samsung Camera app does a lot of heavy lifting to give you a good image.
I have issues connecting to the S-pen first time (for the air gestures, writing doesn't require connection). I always have to put it back and take it out a second time, but I guess this is a software issue that will get fixed.
The first-time setup is also very buggy, was stuck in the setup screens loop for hours until it randomly fixed itself, but that type of issues will probably get fixed by the time you get it.
Worth it? Not at the release retail price, but I got it with a student discount and an accessory bundle discount and with 0% long-term financing, which, with the current inflation will make this phone a lot cheaper as the time runs.
@lukect bro I need your opinion about the camera. I'm also a s21 ultra user and I pre-ordered this s23 ultra and will get it in couple of days . But the only reason I ordered because thinking the camera would be far better from s21 ultra. Do you think it has a significant change ? What's your experience
The upgrade should be avoided for those already have s22 ultra. Since you have s21 it's good to upgrade. I am upgrading from s20+ to s22 ultra
@Sriharsha Ng yeah I'm probably gonna return it if the camera not satisfied enough. But they giving 800 for trade in my old phone plus a storage upgrade and free buds 2 if we pre order before 17. That's why i ordered.
I'm currently using the Note9 and just ordered the S23 Ultra, I'm so excited! I don't upgrade my phone very often as you can probably tell so this will be a huge upgrade for me!
I just received mine yesterday!! 🦄 It's Absolutely amazing 👏
@Emily_Kida9698 I'm in the same boat. I am looking to upgrade my Note 9 to the S23 Ultra or the Z Fold 5.
@@mssxpressive2100 please how much??
Amazing review! Stumbled on this while looking for my new phone, I've been convinced. Incredible review, hitting all the spots for a really in depth review in an understanding language for people😊❤
Marques, a detail to highlight is that with the camera assistant app you can choose to have less shutter lag at the cost of having less quality which I didn't noticed any difference. With that option turned on you can get Iphone lvl shutter lag it's great
How do you find that option?
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr install through samsung good lock
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr it's on the galaxy store. If you don't see it then your phone isn't compatible
iPhone level shutter? LOL. That thing's the equivalent of any entry-level Android flagship with a 50MP camera.
@@hcbabyssian8936 😂 don’t be mad
Great Review! I just wanted to add that, for the s23 series, you can actually reduce/remove the shutter lag if you go into the settings for the camera. You should try it out! I believe you essentially choose that the picture is taken when you click the shutter button instead of when your finger leaves the button, if that makes sense.
Not a good option though since you're sacrificing image quality.
@@theMLBfan Exactly.
@@theMLBfan was gonna say this
Actually, as a common misconception of the shutter lag, it is reducing the frames shot, not shortening the time between pressing the button and taking the photo. The S23, S22, and every other Samsung phone start taking the picture immediately, but it takes time for it to take all of the frames, which is why it feels slow. It's not shutter lag, which many people believe it is.
Can someone tell me if it has multi burst shots like the other models? Because if it does , burst shots are quick.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and giving us more info about the phone, I have been wanting to get this phone and because of this video I bought it. I also got the skins as well because they looked really nice. I live in the UK so the skins took about 8-9 days to come!
One huge thing i noticed is that this is the first phone where all my photos and other results are perfectly 1:1 matched to the examples that tech reviews are able to put out. It doesn't feel like you guys got some primo "best of the best" versions, like you have some better QC or something. I love this phone, and the moon photos i have are just.... astonishing
My S23 Ultra arrived yesterday. The amount of detail the 200MP photos resolve blew my mind. It is so much better than my S21 Ultra and Fold 4.
I'm upgrading from a S9+/Note 9 and am excited about the camera too! Especially the better low light performance.
@@LEXXIUS Would you mind giving away your s9+ when you get your new device. It would really help with my schoolwork as my a50 is badly damaged and battery life is so bad now
Is ut definitely worth the upgrade over the s21 ultra? I'm on the fence, not sure what to do
@Eóin McCann if you're from UK u get £410 when you trade in your old S21 Ultra 256GB , and there is £150 off if you pre-order S23 Ultra 512GB which would cost £1399 but it's only £1249. Minus £410 equals £839 which you can finance for 36 months with £119 upfront and £20 monthly payments , that's what I did. My S21 Ultra is getting old and sometimes I have lag and battery life is not as great anymore
@@eoinmccann8450 Totally worth it, sold my s21 ultra and bought s23 ultra. Camera, battery, screen(less curved as i like) and performance is much better than s21 ultra😊👌🏻
The overall quality of this video is amazing. Kudos to the mkbhd team 👏
Do you have something to say about the phone he reviewed or as usual you came here to suck up to MKBHD.
Honestly, not really, not this time. This was barely a phone review. It was a camera review. And even when it comes to the camera, not a single mention of how those photos look like once shared anywhere on social media. Most people take photos to share them. If he’s gonna spend 90% of the video reviewing the camera, might as well tell us if it’s still terribly compressed once shared…
You guys need to chill. When I said the "quality of the video" I meant the aesthetics , for example @ 0:45 all the things in the frame are not random they were kept there to add value to the shot be it the the black rubik's cube, the speaker, the things that are out of focus, the shadows or the plant for contrast and don't forget the panning to focus on the camera's of the phones when he's talking about the differences between them.
I'm a music producer and I've recently started studying video production and color grading to create my own content and to me this is the quality of video production I aspire to achieve.
And coming to the phone itself there's nothing much to talk about , it's an incremental upgrade that one should ignore if they already have an s22ultra unless they're a rich, tech enthusiast who must have the latest tech in their pocket.
A really great idea for a new vid, would be to do a head to head comparison between all the flexibility and features of Nova Launcher and One UI on the NEW S23 Ultra. I am convinced that the experience with the Nova Launcher is much better, but I'd love to see it go head to head with the One UI's newest edition. I tried to stay on the One UI skin when I first got my S23U, but kept running into limitations which made me long for Nova. All the extra gestures, instead of just three, allow me to really use my phone so much more efficiently. And having more choices for app grids on the home screen and app screen was a must, instead of being limited to just a few choices on One UI. Please do a head to head, and let's see if I'm missing something or not. Thanks.
Goodlock on the Samsung store really opens up oneUI
@@L1Z1Oit's ok, but I still prefer Nova, it runs beautifully on the S23 Ultra
I have nova launcher right now, what are your favorite settings or features about it? I really like the swipe gestures for opening up search or notifications
The Intro is just amazing. The filming is the best. Great shots.
That intro is one of my favorites you've ever made. The camera angle, the music, the punchline... Straight up fire 🔥
The music is C2C - Arcades if you're interested
your videos are amazing. production quality is top-tier!
Marques, you rock! I wanted to ask you if ( in your opinion) ..One could take photos of artwork with the S23 and use those Hi-Res files to make prints ?? Would that be possible? THANKS !!! ✌🏽
Got mine this week, and i'm loving it, changed from an S9+ and it's such a huge diference
Oh great upgrade, enjoy man. I switching from s22 ultra because my screen broke and fixing it cost me at least half of the price of a new one. Hoping it will be worth it anyway.
Getting mine. Upgrading from Note 10 plus 🤷🏾♂️
Nobody cares shut up
The S23 Ultra has this Note9 vibe to me. Yeah the Note9 was an incremental upgrade over Note8, but it upgraded everywhere it mattered.
☝🏽
As a Note 9 user that upgraded from a Note 8, I agree. This is the first phone I've actually felt an urge to jump up to.
Still running my trusty battle-scarred Note 9, might jump to the S23 Ultra later this year when the prices drop a bit.
Excellent review as always, well done!
So I plan to switch from my Galaxy z flip 3 to the ultra once the next gen of Samsung come out which should be in about 2 or 3 years given the track record so far. Would that be a good idea seeing as how this phone is, according to a lot of tech reviewers, phenomenal and even future proof?
As a iPhone user for the longest time, i watched the new S23 ultra with a open mindset. I gotta say, im impressed.
As we should. Phones are getting so sophisticated nowadays and each brand makes impressive products. I like Samsung's innovations alot especially their camera and customizability. That being said, we should prepare to be called "iSheep" "Apple fanboys" and get insulted for simply preferring iPhones. I honestly wish criticism on youtube comment sections were more civil and appreciative of each other's personal opinions, like your comment.

@@XXJosh599XX I'm honestly still bitter about having to upgrade at all. I loved my Note 8, and I think the Note 9 was peak smartphone. When my Note 8 broke, I really wanted to get a Note 9, but settled for the Note 20 solely for the security updates. I just can't stand camera bumps or display cut-outs. I dread the day I have to give up my sd card slot.
Never watched a video before but your video title grabbed my attention over others and was a great review. I appreciate your overview at the end saying yeah it's not gonna be best in class for every feature but over all it's got everything you need, and I think that matters far more.

@mkbhd are you going to do a full review of the normal s23? So far just impressions, so would love to hear your proper review
In Europe we went from the Exynos 2200 or whatever model on the S22U, to the SD 8 Gen2 on the S23U. The battery is substantially better, 100% charge could last me 2 solid days of use. It's snappier, doesn't catch random slowdowns, seems happier switching between more apps and repeatedly without caring at all. Camera I haven't had much chance to really test in the past week, but what I have noticed is the refinement in image processing - detail is retained where I'd expect blurring or artifacts before.
0oo0
This is already a great video. The shots with the robot are amazing. The subtle vertigo ? The reverse at the intro ? Top notch
It was a great concept there, didn't expect it. MKBHD is doing excellently great
It doesn’t have a top notch, it has a punch hole.

@@Demofix33 why is that? i am looking into buying exynos s22
@@MrBrancomusic don't waste your money. Don't even buy the snapdragon unless you have no choice.
Both average battery life and get hot quickly.
I'm waiting a few months for 23U's price to drop.
@@MrBrancomusic Dino has a point. Honestly the exynos chip is awful.

Shutter lag can be fixed with good lock camera add-on
You, my good man, are always an informative pleasure to watch. Your presentation is professional, clean, and sharp. You have class too.......Thank you.
Great info great video!! Thank you! My next upgrade cell phone!!!
Great review, but you forgot to mention that pro photo and pro video mode now work with the front facing camera. So you now can adjust the white balance, shutter speed and ISO of the front facing camera, where you couldn't before in any of the previous years' models. Also, the speakers have improved sound quality from last year, as other reviewers noted.
Yeah, he should've mentioned speakers
S21+ to S23+ for me. Ultra just a bit overkill for my daily usage so it was a good buy. Impressed with the chip!
How much better are the cameras??
Got my Note 20 Ultra 5G unlocked for $750 brand new only a few months after release. The only reason I haven't "upgraded" to the S23U is because of the bargain I got buying my phone. I also have to say that not having expandable storage through SD card on the S23U is a slight annoyance.
I was a manager of a photographic store (old school dark room stuff) when casio brought out their first digital it wasnt even in the megapixel range, it's mind blowing the resolution you can get now. I don't even take my digital SLR out anymore the results you get on this phone matched with the shiftcam lenses attached are amazing.
Great review! Appreciate the way you deliver all the relevant details in a way that feels relaxed and easy to watch.
These reviews, they keep getting better and better, especially the opening sequences. Thank you mkbhd.
I think Arun & MKB are low-key battling each other with their review productions 😂😂
@@thevegastan I watch both of their reviews, mrwhosetheboss as well as mkbhd.
Would you consider doing a follow up review for shutter lag? I've found it nearly impossible to avoid motion blur on the S23 ultra, coming from the pixel series. Impossible to get a clean, sharp shot of kids and dogs. Not even the camera assistant fixes that. The computational algorithm must not be removing blur in post, which is disappointing considering the price tag.
I have an S22U and won't be upgrading until the telephoto camera's are 48mp and they fix motion blur. Otherwise, the S22U (Snapdragon) is the ultimate phone for me.
Recent subscriber. Have enjoyed watching a couple of your videos so far. My biggest gripe with the S23 Ultra is that you loose the auto tracking feature when you want to shoot in 10 bit
As usual, an excellent review! Great detail and explanations, all of it is greatly appreciated.
You and Dave are the only tech focused creators I watch anymore. I genuinely enjoy and watch every video you guys release. Even if it’s covering something I don’t care about. 😅
You mean smartphone focused...

Awesome review. Thank you!
I've switched to the s23 ultra today, and my daily used to be the pixel 6 pro I love using it, it was amazing and I was supposed to go for the 7 pro, but I've heard that the pixel had problems with the phone heating and the volume and lock button broke off so I think it was time to go ultra so far so good it's a lot more smooth and it's funny to say but easier to use and it's a lot more faster and responsive
Same. I'm trading in my p6 today for an s22 ultra.
Amazing video! Love it! The insight was great! GG! I love this phone and this review was incredible
3:04 "it's been incredible" while listening to the incredible true story got me smiling :)
You can fix the shudder lag in the settings. Specifically the Samsung app called "camera assistant"
Your videos look awesome. Great camera and lighting.
