The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
The Galaxy S23 Ultra combines flagship performance, exceptional cameras and a superb display, but its heavy body, slow charging and aging software hold it back.
What is good
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 12GB RAM deliver powerful performance.
- 200MP main camera, 10x optical telephoto and OIS enable versatile photography.
- 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display offers 120Hz refresh and 2200-nit brightness.
What is not
- 5000mAh battery is let down by comparatively modest 45W charging.
- 234g weight makes this large phone notably heavy.
- Android 13 provides a less current software foundation.
