  • THIS WAS A GREAT DEAL FOR A BRAND NEW UNLOCKED U. S. VERSION OF THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S23 ULTRA
Color: Phantom Black Size: 256GB Style: Galaxy S23 Ultra Pattern Name: Phone Only
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra U. S. Version unlocked and brand new at the significantly reduced price of $969 when it originally sold for $1200.00. The current top of the line Samsung phone is the S24 Ultra, but there are minimal differences between the S23 Ultra and the S24 Ultra and the $969 that I paid is $330 less than the $1299 price of a new S24 Ultra. Even with some S24 Ultras selling on sale for $1149, I still saved $180. Here are some of the minimal differences between the S23 Ultra and the S24 Ultra. 1-The S24 Ultra has AI capability, but it will be coming in software updates to the S23 Ultra and Samsung plans to start charging for it in the future anyway so It's no big deal. 2-For the S24 Ultra, Samsung dispensed with the curved edges of the display found on the S23 Ultra, leaving a flat front (Samsung claims it has 47% less bezel on the sides). That new screen is also brighter with a maximum of 2,600 nits (the S23 Ultra maxed out at 1,750 nits) and thus easier to see in bright daylight. The S24 Ultra's screen is also made of Corning's newest and toughest material, Gorilla Glass Armor, while the S23 has Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus 2. 3-As for cameras, the S24 Ultra inherits most of its predecessor's lenses and sensors but does use a 50-megapixel 5x optical telephoto camera in place of the 10-megapixel 10x optical camera in the S23 Ultra. While the new camera has a shorter optical length, its higher megapixel count should mean photos taken with it are sharper than those shot with the S23's 10x optical camera. To get to 10x optical length, the S24 Ultra shoots with its 5x optical camera and crop zooms in. 4-The S24 Ultra is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which is faster than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the S23 Ultra. Configurations have also been simplified in the new premium phone: you can only get 12GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage (no 8GB RAM option, as there was in the S23 Ultra). The rest of the hardware remains relatively unchanged, although the S24 Ultra should get a minor battery efficiency boost thanks to its newer chipset. 5-Samsung expanded how long it's pledging to support its newest phones. The S24 Ultra comes with Android 14 and will get seven years of Android software and security patches, up from four years in the S23 Ultra (which comes with Android 13). For sustainability, the S24 Ultra has more recycled parts, including cobalt in its battery and rare earth elements in its speakers. I took all of these minor differences into account and I felt that they weren't worth the $330 difference. I will look for similar deals on new models that were just replaced with newer models in the future. I would also advise anyone buying any new cellphone to buy an unlocked U. S. model so you aren't tied to any one cellphone carrier while you are paying off the phone. ... show more

  • Awesome Phone
Color: Phantom Black Size: 256GB Style: Galaxy S23 Ultra Pattern Name: Phone Only
Firstly I was pretty skeptical of purchasing an unlocked phone never owning one before but so far this device has been nothing but first class performance. The only issue I have had so far is with getting this masterpiece to do wifi calling, but I have this same problem with my Galaxy S20 Plus and was able to figure out how to get it working and I have high hopes that the same will happen here. I have tried the moon zoom and it was spectacular. I love the size of this phone though I wish Samsung had at least made it the same size as the Galaxy S22 Ultra which is 6.9 inches, but however I can still work with 6.8 inches. I love the bigger screen phones because they are better for conducting business on the go and of course videos, movies and photography. Love the brightness of the screen and need I not mention the S Pen which I always wanted. Though it's true that this phone is pretty expensive, still, all in all it's worth every single penny for everything thing that has been put into it including hours of labor and time. I didn't want to upgrade my Galaxy S20 Plus this soon, but after seeing the moon zoom and the fact that this phone featured the popular S Pen, I have no other choice but to dive in, besides life is too short to not have the things we work hard for, so with that said I pampered myself to this device that I hope to have for many years to come. I seen in the reviews where someone stated that the phone will not charge past 85 percent. Go to settings, battery and device care followed by battery and then more battery setting and turn off the protect battery setting if you want your device to charge the entire 100 percent. However keep in mind that keeping this setting turned on increase the life of your battery when it only charges to 85 percent. Sound quality has also improved once again in this device and that is something that I love as well. I guess the even better part is the updates that is going to hopefully follow to put the icing on the cake because, as far as the hardware..... it's all there. Samsung has even stepped up their game and threw in McAfee on this one, so with that said, I stepped mine's up as well and bought the package deal from McAfee that will protect up to 10 devices. People, you ain't going to get better than this. This phone is super fast. I'm going to miss the memory card slot but just like the headphones port, I'll get over it quickly for all that this phone packs, I say so long memory card slot, welcome home Galaxy S23 Ultra. Update: 5/28/23. After having this phone longer, I've discovered more about it. The Bluetooth feature in this device is much faster than the one on my S20 Plus. My Galaxy Watch now connects instantly, where in my S20 Plus it took a few seconds to connect. I have been loving this phone so much that I have decided to replace the original plastic S Pen that came with it with the aluminum one to do my own part of keeping high-end products matched up with high-end products as I did with the case, going with the Otterbox Defender series pro case for this baby. I've heard people mention having dropped calls on Samsung phones, however I have not experienced that in this device this far into ownership. The photo of the Cellular Tower I took using the camera on this phone was taken from about a mile and some change away and I was zoomed to around 30mm out of 100, just to give you a better idea of what the camera on this device can do. I am very tickle with the benchmark results of this device, very, very beautiful results. Still waiting to see what it will do with a full moon not to mention the very popular "Super Moon". After using this phone for nearly two months now I still must say that it has been an amazing experience. I have also noticed where some are unfairly reviewing the phone, either you have a defective device or is not doing something right. The battery should be no less than 5 stars, and I personally would give it 10 stars if I could for being a perfect 10. I have gotten at least 4 days out of my phone off a single charge, I have also noticed where the fingerprint scanner got an unfair low rating, again if you use it right it will work right. Since setting this area of the phone up I have not once had any problems with the fingerprint scanner picking up my fingerprint, even when I have done it snappy it has never failed to work. So far on this device, I have not experienced any of the dropped calls that I hear about since the very moment I inserted my sim card into this phone. At last, I was able to take a few photos of the popular supermoon. Wasn't that clear of an evening here but I still must say that the camera on this phone did an awesome job capturing it at 230mm and around 7mp. ... show more

  • Best flagship smartphone in market for 2023-24
Color: Cream Size: 256GB Style: Galaxy S23 Ultra Pattern Name: Phone Only
Best value for money. For normal browsing and video playback, I get almost 2 days of battery life. I have turned off all animations, 120Hz refresh and kept brightness to 25%. The dual speakers are loud enough at 80% volume; although some of OnePlus phones have louder speakers than this. No other phone can beat the camera. All the reviews about the phone in youtube and tech websites are 100% true. If you buy this phone, you are not going to use at least 20% of features that the phone provides in day-to-day life, that is how much the phone is capable to do. One of the best purchases I made in phones. I would definitely recommend this phone to others ... show more

  • S23 Phone
Color: Lavender Size: 256GB Style: Galaxy S23 Pattern Name: Phone Only
When I made this purchase I was in limbo on whether or not it was worth the cost. When I finally decided to make the purchase I wanted to get the ultra, however my friend reminded me that I'm not a lucky person when it comes to phone, as I'm always losing my phones or dropping them and damaging the screens. So I purchase the S23 instead. Can't say I regretted it. I have been using this phone since September and I have no issue with it. Battery last me up to two days ,when I'm not actively using the Bluetooth functions. Picture quality is awesome. The size fits right inside my purses and the features are great. If you're looking for something that has 99% of the features of the ultra at an economical price then this is the phone for you. And if you're like me that love gadgets but won't use more than 60% of the features on them then this is definitely the phone for you. And if you're someone that will utilize all the features on your phone this is still the phone for you. If you're a content creator and looking for a good phone to use, you can't go wrong with this one. Compare with a 14pro I would choose the S23 over and over. ... show more
