As per our Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra review, we found the phone's bright, vivid display and powerful Qualcomm 8 Gen 2 processor impressive. We were also fond of the advanced camera and seamless integration with other mobile Samsung devices. We gave the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra a solid 4 out of 5-stars backed by our Editor's Choice Award.
During real-world testing, the Galaxy S23 Ultra was always up to the task. Not even 40 Chrome tabs with a YouTube video playing in the background while switching between apps could slow it down. Back in our lab, it achieved big scores on our benchmarks, notching 14,611 with 3DMark WildLife Unlimited. It beat flagship competitors including Apple's iPhone 14 Pro Max (8,652, 5-core Apple GPU) and Google's Pixel 7 Pro (6,725, Mali-G710 MP7 GPU).
Collectively, the Samsung Galaxy S23 features advanced camera systems for fool-proof high quality resolution photos and videos. For one, the Galaxy S23 Series' enhanced optical image stabilizer (OIS) captures blur-free images even in low light. Plus, wide-angle lenses make 8K video recording at 30 frames look more professional.
Now up to $350 off, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Series is worth considering if you don't want to spend upwards of $1,000 on an unlocked phone.
