Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - getting closer to perfection

The flagship smartphones of the most famous manufacturers have always demonstrated the full potential of the mobile device category. The best displays, technical characteristics, cameras - this is not a complete list of the advantages of expensive devices, however, almost every top-end device differed in a number of non-critical, but still unpleasant minuses. It was them that the Korean company Samsung tried to eliminate in the hero of today's review.

The appearance of the novelty cannot be called innovative, but it has retained the brand charm of the line, perfectly combines the attractiveness and rigor of the design concept. Familiar to fans of the brand, the block of four cameras, the ergonomic shape of the body covered with glass and metal, and the completely frameless 6.8-inch AMOLED display deserve only the highest praise. Even a sophisticated user will be delighted with the quality of the output image. An increased resolution of 3088x1440 pixels, a crazy brightness margin of more than 1500 nits, extremely accurate color reproduction and a 120 Hz refresh rate will allow you to enjoy the beauty of playing games, movies and even ordinary web surfing. The under-screen fingerprint sensor and stylus support also become competitive advantages of the AMOLED panel.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, 8GB/12GB RAM and the Adreno 740 video accelerator are an insanely powerful bunch that even avid gamers will love. It easily handles the maximum graphics settings in the amazing Genshin Impact, Wreckfest, Undecember, and future projects are unlikely to have the slightest stuttering. In addition, the chipset is ahead of previously used developer solutions for energy efficiency. The 5000mAh battery is discharged in about a day and a half of active use of the phablet. It's nice to see that the power of fast wired charging has been brought up to 45W, and its wireless counterpart has not disappeared either. For purchase, there are variations of the unit with 256, 512 and even 1024GB of ROM, however, the latter configuration is noticeably more expensive than the others.

The main 200-megapixel photomodule with hybrid stabilization and auxiliary 12- (wide-angle lens) and 10-megapixel (telephoto lens with 3x and 10x zoom) surpass almost all existing camera phones in photo capabilities. If excellent daytime shooting today does not surprise anyone, then high-quality evening shots with the preservation of the detail of the smallest objects and the absence of noise will amaze even experienced photographers. The stereo sound is also good. It is rich, loud, pleasing to the ear. Incredibly, the graceful monoblock also has IP68 moisture protection, its other advantages will be NFC contactless payments, modem operation in 5G networks. Thus, there is hardly a person who can resist the acquisition of an amazing phone.
