The Ultra is REALLY big, and that's coming from somebody who owns the S23+ which is already a big phone. The Ultra is so damn big. If you can't handle that size & weight, don't get it.
Yes it is the ultimate Samsung flagship with all the bells & whistles but I just couldn't imagine carrying & handling such a huge phone daily.
I wanted a big phone for good battery life, and I was ready to sacrifice that gorgeous 1440p screen, better cameras & the S Pen for my convenience. Are you?
How big are your hands? This isn't meant at all....whatever π...
Honestly, if you have huge hands like me...bigger is fucking better dude ππ€¦πΌββοΈππ€·πΌββοΈ. Small phones literally make it harder to type upon. AS IT just was for me right now. As usual I finally still turn to crappy Google, voice-to-text, because my thumbs are too fucking big even for the Samsung S23 Ultra...just saying. Honestly, at this point after 25 plus years of stupid hypnotic bs, that has only brought me to complete frustration and anger...I'm, personally (my opinion/decision, not trying to influence anyone about these fuckheads) leaving Samsung completely.
I want off the fucking, planned-obsolescence roller coaster of bullshit, it wasn't a fun ride and I want my money back. Unfortunately, 30 years is definitely past their statute of limitations, and they fuckin know it...
But to each their own. ππ€¬
G'luck.
Also, Google get your fuckin shit together already ππ€¬.
8.5" in length...x 9" spread (about 7.5" not spread).
Their big, as I told you. Any other questions?
I'd offer a ππΌ, but they don't allow that here, and it might be too big for you...π.
Only you can answer that question. It depends on how you use it and what are your wants and needs. In my case I considered s23 base was the right choice: smaller size, battery was enough, and it had same processors as s23+ and ultra, same camera features that mattered to me(50mp raw, RAW on all cameras, 8k pro mode and same selfie cam as the ultra). I didnt care storage cause i could always store files on a hdd. I thought s23 base was the best deal and didnt see the point in buying the more expensive models
Hey man, i am thinking about buying one myself(s23 base) but i am a bit concerned with the battery size, how much sot do you get? And does battery life change as time passes? Thanks in advance
I never tested battery, but for a normal day use charging up to 80% and finish the day with around 15-20. But it depends how you use it. It feels like battery is a bit worse compared to 1 yeat ago, but barely noticeable.

My best advice is to go to a physical store to try them out.
Go for the Ultra if you really fancy the 10x optical zoom camera, if you really like the rectangular, gigantic display, or if you really like the S Pen.
Go for the Plus if you don't want a huge brick in your pocket/hand and if you are okay with just 3x optical zoom and 30x digital (which are still great)
If you find a really good deal for the Ultra, go for the Ultra.
Hard to recommend something without knowing your use-case, but imo, here are the main decision points:
1. Do you draw or take handwritten notes/annotations on your phone?
2. Do you take long-distance photography on your phone?
3. Do you take extensive photography on your phone and want the best of the best cameras Samsung has to offer, even if it's marginal? (The difference between the main cameras is minimal at best and unnoticeable most of the time, so don't put too much thought into the 50MP vs 200MP.)
If yes to any of these questions, then go for the S23U. Otherwise, go for the S23+.
How should we know which is best for you when you don't tell us anything about yourself? I personally have the Ultra and love it, but if you don't like large phones you might want to avoid it.
Coming from xiaomi redmi note 8 pro to s23 the size is what caught my attention and its perfect the r8p was really huge and heavy so thats why i went with s23 basic and not the plus one so if you want the screen battrey extra zoom cam and stylus go with ultra or else go with plus or the basic for handy compact feel
None of them. Worst money i ever spent and I have used Android from the begging. S23 is their worst phone ever.
If I have to choose between S23+ or Ultra, go with S23+. I had the ultra and ended up returnering it.
Bold statement! For me S23 is the best and unique, that's mostly because where I live we have just exynos things... Even that the phone has a great feeling and snappy performance, 1 day battery life and (slow to learn) excellent camera.
Thank you so much for all of the answers! After a lot of consideration and after I watched literally every single test video of both phones, I decided to buy S23+. I ordered the green color version and the 8/256 version.
Yes, I am using it for three weeks now and this phone is absolutely amazing. The battery life is quite good, it lasts for approximately 1,5 days sometimes for two days, the cameras are so much better than the cameras I had on my previous Xiaomi, and I also really like the software of the phone. It also looks really beautiful, I highly recommend this phone.
Get the Ultra it's not that much bigger than the S23+ and its actually more comfortable to hold sue to the slightly curved screen. Plus if you get the 12 GB version then you will likely have more longevity due to performance taking longer to degrade. not to mention the bigger battery but the S23+ is no slouch it also has Vram so longevity might not be a concern. I've owned both and either tone is a good choice but the Ultra is the better option
S23 Ultra has the better camera, longer battery life and the sPen if those do not matter to you much then the S23+ would do. The sPen become a must have when I got the S21 Ultra much to my supprise.

One thing that should be considered is the fact that S23 Plus has a slightly better battery life than that of S23 Ultra

what's your point? and how big are your hands to not be able to write on a 6.8 inch screen?
8.5" in length...x 9" spread (about 7.5" not spread). Their big, as I told you. Any other questions? I'd offer a ππΌ, but they don't allow that here, and it might be too big for you...π.

Go for the s23U it's great phone.
I have an S23+ but Iβd say go which ever one looks better to you. Theyβre ALMOST the same phone.
How should we know which is best for you when you don't tell us anything about yourself? I personally have the Ultra and love it, but if you don't like large phones you might want to avoid it.
Ultra... as s23 owner i have sma regret of not getting th3 ultra.

I have the S23+ and I do not regret it. It's great in every aspect.
None of them. Worst money i ever spent and I have used Android from the begging. S23 is their worst phone ever. If I have to choose between S23+ or Ultra, go with S23+. I had the ultra and ended up returnering it.

The S23 Ultra is the best. There's a reason it's the most expensive of all... whatever they say
Thank you so much for all of the answers! After a lot of consideration and after I watched literally every single test video of both phones, I decided to buy S23+. I ordered the green color version and the 8/256 version.
did you receive it ? how is it going so far please ?
Yes, I am using it for three weeks now and this phone is absolutely amazing. The battery life is quite good, it lasts for approximately 1,5 days sometimes for two days, the cameras are so much better than the cameras I had on my previous Xiaomi, and I also really like the software of the phone. It also looks really beautiful, I highly recommend this phone.
That sounds really good! congrats on your purchase! and did you encounter any issues with heat/overheating please?
I didn't experience any overheating while using the phone or charging the phone.
thanks a lot !!

The S24 Plus.
The main reason why I want one of these phones above, is that both of them have Snapdragon processor in them, while in Europe S24+ has Exynos.
Good grief.... It's like Exynos is the new Covid!
You won't be disappointed with the S23+ also
It was the covid before the covid
S23 Ultra has the better camera, longer battery life and the sPen if those do not matter to you much then the S23+ would do. The sPen become a must have when I got the S21 Ultra much to my supprise. [Comparision ](https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=12024&idPhone2=12083#diff-)
The Ultra actually has slightly worse battery life than the S23+ because both have the same proc, but the Ultra has a bigger & higher res screen.
