On the surface, it seems that Samsung really hasn’t done much to update the S22 Ultra from last year. On paper, it seems that the Galaxy S23 Ultra has been given just a few minor updates, a basin spec bump. However, dig a little deeper, and you’ll see that there are a ton of refinements and tweaks made to the S23 Ultra, all of which add up to give the ultimate experience that is possible from an Android Phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra runs on OneUI 5.1, which is based on Android 13. There are a ton of features, and you will need days to completely go through all the features that OneUI 5.1 gives you, at this level.

As for connectivity, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with all the bells and whistles that you would expect a modern-day flagship device to have. However, it does not have WiFi 7, which the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 supports.

Finally, we have the S-Pen. The Note series was one of my all-time favourite series of smartphones so when Samsung decided to pull the plug on the series, it was a little disappointing. However, the S22 Ultra and the S23 Ultra have truly stepped up and taken over the role of the Note devices.
