The Galaxy S23 Ultra includes several key improvements over the 2022 model — namely a 200MP main camera and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip customized for Samsung phones. That latter addition not only improves performance but battery life as well. Otherwise, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has much in common with its predecessor, including a familiar design.

While the Galaxy S23 Ultra introduced some notable improvements over the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the latter phone remained a solid enough device for existing owners to skip an upgrade. That could change once the Galaxy S25 Ultra arrives, as it will be three years since the S22 Ultra's release by then.

- Faster S Pen built in

- Cameras offer strong low light performance

- 45W charging
Against
- Pricey
