The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is a smartphone that does it all; it has one of the best displays, a top-notch stylus experience, blisteringly fast performance and a camera setup that beats just about anything in the flagship arena right now. It still charges slowly, it’s hard to use one-handed and it’s very expensive, but if you’re looking for the very best of what Android has to offer, look no further.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is an undeniable upgrade over last year’s model, and truly delivers on every aspect of a premium Android phone. However, the astronomical $1,200 starting price makes it incredibly unapproachable, whether you’re looking to upgrade from a recent model or buying an all-new device altogether. Between its stylus, multi-tasking, and easy desktop connection, the Galaxy S23 Ultra delivers almost too much functionality, for most people. In this case, devices like the Google Pixel 7 Pro come at a much more approachable price point, offering more value if you want a camera that shoots almost as well and at incredible levels of zoom to boot. But if you’re looking for a real pro pocket camera and phone that can double as a workstation, then the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is the ultimate Android smartphone around.

For gamers, Android is finally a close match against the iPhone in terms of raw performance. So, although the S23 Ultra might seem a bit boring at first, I think it's an extremely solid upgrade over the last generation. However, part of me feels like it isn't complete in its evolution, with a pretty mediocre 3x zoom that should have been swapped for a 5x zoom lens.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is the biggest, baddest, and most expensive of the S-series flagships in 2023. With a huge 6.8-inch, 120Hz-capable display, a 5,000mAh battery, a brand new 200MP camera, and an included S Pen, the S23 Ultra isn't a massive upgrade over its S22 Ultra predecessor, but the improved efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC will give it a significant battery boost — perfect for gaming or working on the go.
