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 pen, for most people, may seem a little gimmicky but people who know how to use the S-Pen and have grown accustomed to using it regularly will find it extremely hard to move to a device that does not come with a stylus. 

What is commendable, is the fact that with the Galaxy S23, Samsung is promising four Android OS updates and 5 years of security updates, so this can be a device that you can use for a really long time. 

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G review: The battery life
The Galaxy S23 Ultra has the same 5000mAh battery as last year. However, the battery life will take you by surprise. Without any sort of optimisations, we were getting around 6-7 hours of screen on time with 70 per cent brightness, with about a quarter of power still left after a 16-hour day. The S23 Ultra can easily be an all-day device.
