I linked the Galaxy S24 Ultra for people who are deciding between the newer model and the S23 Ultra. The big differences I mentioned are the titanium build, the newer chipset, and the upgraded zoom setup (50MP 5x), plus the flatter Gorilla Armor screen.
“so my Samsung Galaxy S21 Fe broke and had the green line issue so what did I buy instead if you saw the end of my previous video I tease this but hold on James you bought a Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra but why well we will answer that and so many more in this video hey guys James here your Tech buddy and this is Tech M and I will tell you why I bought this phone did it meet my expectations and is this worth getting than the newer one in our s23 Ultra one month review before we begin let's have a quick unboxing on the phone as usual it comes in a thin black box with the color highlighted in the middle once open we've been greeted by the phone that's covered in paper but let's put it to the side for now and open the small box that contains the US the C2C cable paperwork and the Sim ejector tool looking at the phone and removing the paper now you can see the color that I got here which is green and remove the protective screen on the front then let's boot up the phone itself all right we're done with the unboxing now let's have a disclaimer first the Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra unit was not sponsored and I bought it with my own money plus the tradein amount that I got with the S21 FP also no one had an additional input nor an early preview of this video and if you're interested in buying the s23 ultra I have affiliate links like Amazon and other online platform stores in the link down below so if you want to buy one so you can make me help make new videos on our Channel thank you very much so in this review I will have a different approach to it since there's a lot and I mean a lot of videos talking about the sm3 ultra instead you will know the Journey of how I ended up with this phone and what are the things I adjusted on using this compared to my previous phone while I'm giving you my analysis on the s23 ultra let's start off with the very obvious question why do you choose to get the s23 ultra rather than the s24 ultra well the obvious answer here is the s23 ultra is much cheaper now than the s24 ultra more than that later the design between these two fos are almost identical with the only biggest differences are between materials made Titanium on the s24 ultra while armor aluminum on the s23 ultra the chip set is also different the zoom lens which is from the 10 megapixel 10 time zoom from the previous version now upgraded to a 50 megapixel five time zoom lens on the newer one in the flat matte gorilla Armor Screen versus the gorilla glass victus 2 on the old model also I want to go SN plus rather than the ultra however there's no stocks near my area plus both phone sales price is close to each other when the trade in value kicks in so S3 Ultra it is while I really prefer to have a flat screen rather than to have a curved screen like here because it's so hard to buy a curved glass screen protector budget constraints made me choose that and I did not plan to buy a phone in the first place so I tried my best to save money and just live with the thing I hate the only extra thing I did is to install a UV Dome glass to the phone since this is one of the most recommended one with the content creators if you want to get one for your curbed display for like here I will leave the link in description below nonetheless the 6”
“5 W reverse wireless charging the 45 W wide charging support of the s23 ultra is slow which can fully charge the phone in almost an hour versus when you compare it to the other Behemoth charging outputs like from Oppo and xiaomi but for me I don't mind it at all I care though on the third party brand support which I can skip buying the ridiculous expensive branded adapter which they skip also sometimes for instance I bought a u green 45 W Gan charger with pts support and a cable with the e marker feature for much cheaper lengths of the cable and adapter are in the description if you want one compared to the proprietary charges from the competition it's so hard to find one and if you found one it's expensive to buy finally we need to talk about the s23 Ultras cameras previously my S21 FD had a triple camera setup it had the 12 megapix wide 12 megapix Ultra wide and an 8 megapix telephoto lens now with the S3 Ultra it has a 200 megapix wide 12 megapix Ultra wide and both 10 megapixels for the three times and 10 times Zoom alongside a laser autofocus sensor in my one month of use the results of the photos on the S3 Ultra are night and day if you compare it to my old phone which by the way the scene Optimizer has been turned off since day one and even in my Glory Days of the S21 Fe the details are crisp and the software optimization is consistent all throughout the lenses the one thing that I need to go deep dive is on the 10x optical zoom like I mentioned the software optimization and the color science is the same as the other lenses but since this is new to me I try to use it extensively so I can see the results while the default 10x Zoom is cool the 100x zoom digital is quite okay to me and some of the time it's a bit muddy to my taste the only saving grace to that 100x Zoom is the moonshots which if you remember previously had a fair share of a controversy about it on some day shots it's good if you want to show off where the 100x zoom can go with your friends but if you will use it to take photos like seriously safe bet s3x in my honest opinion here are some sample shots on the Samsung Galaxy S on3 Ultra on the front camera the s23 ultra only has a 12 megapixel camera while my old phone had 32 which you will think that the S21 Fe may win in this category but the s23 ultra doesn't give up on the fight it's a great selfie shooter and it maintains a good level of color accuracy on my face and on the subject hey guys so this is our Sample video recording test for the Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra while the main camera can record up to 8 k at 30 FPS this one in particular can record up to 4K at 60 FPS so right now here is our sample recording so you need to just to adjust your uh arms up too so that you can fit on the frame but here's a sample recording is if you have any questions you can put it here on the comment section below but before I give you my thoughts and verdict on the s20 ultra let's tackle the price of this phone and how much I paid for it typically the price of the S70 Ultra starts at 81,9 190 pesos for the 12 256 gig model that I have right now however I caught up with the Galaxy AI sale for this phone and it went down to$ 63990 but since I got a trade in for my S21 Fe that has a green line issue I have a trading credit that lowers down even further to almost 49,000 a big discount but still expensive in my honest opinion so after I share my experience with you on my sudden upgrade to the s23 ultra from the S21 Fe the question now here is this a worthy upgrade to your old phone if you are thinking of getting as well and what are the things that I miss and didn't miss when I switch on the first question without a shadow of a doubt the Samsung Galaxy s73 Ultra is a worthy upgrade if you're really looking for a phone that has a great screen performance software support cameras and battery life that can either one up or see your experience from your old phone especially if you get this one in a very good deal it literally checks the boxes of the phone when shopping for a flagship phone upgrade however like I always say here in our Channel there's no perfect phone that can C all of our needs sometimes we need to sacrifice some things that we really want in order to move on in life I really miss the small form factor the one hand reachability and the flat display of my S21 FP which I wish that there's an s23 plus rather the s23 ultra on the day of buying however I realized that while I really hate the s23 ultra's curve screen like here I won't miss the moment that I have an overheating issue on my phone when I record 4K videos I can't play games sometimes because it will stop suddenly with a popup message and finally I can't charge the phone faster I can now do it here with ease on the s23 ultra even if my wallet is burned into because now I can upgrade my tablet and I am completely broke because of this phone but it's okay I have a good phone instead will you upgrade to the s23 ultra or the s24 ultra do you have also plans to upgrade to a new phone now let's have a conversation with your ideas and suggestions in the comment section below and if you want to watch my previous
