Best device made by samsung
Phone owned for

Absolutely great device, got mine for 600 dollars, it has been my main phone for about three months now. Battery is insanely good, screen is top notch, zoom is unbelievable. Sensors could have been bigger but for what it is, I love it.

using the galaxy s23 ultra as my main phone for about 2 weeks
Phone owned for less than a month

Using the galaxy s23 ultra as my main phone for about 2 weeks, the ratings below are based on my experience, and please notice that I'm using 12GB ram with 512 GB storage version, not the base model, overall the phone might deserve a 10 out of 10, however there are areas of the improvements needed, but yet again nothing to much to complain about, the phone is great in almost every aspect and it gives an overall great experience in day to day usage

Worthy Flagship
Phone owned for less than a year

The Galaxy S series just keeps getting better. I primarily use a phone as a phone so things like DSLR quality photos, gaming speed and social media streaming are not of paramount importance to me so please keep this in mind when reading my review. I look at things like screen visual quality built quality operational smoothness biometric operation and overall build quality.
