Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone test: the ultimate smartphone
One of the additional functions you benefit from by opting for ultra or most rather than the standard model is the support of Ultra Wideband technology, which allows you to connect to the nearby devices with more precision than Bluetooth. Supporting this technology is not a necessity, but it can make file sharing or using your phone as a faster and easier digital car key. We could see more services and accessories that require it in the future.
Test of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: the Extra Champion
Samsung wants the ultra galaxy S23 to become the reference device for filmmakers and photographers. After having used it for several days, it is clear that the new camera pushes the limits in fields controlled by Samsung as photography in low light.
The ultra galaxy s23, worth 1419 euros, Supports the Galaxy S23 offered from 959 euros and the Galaxy S23 more available from 1219 euros. As the Galaxy S22 Ultra From last year, this very high -end smartphone with its gigantic screen is not intended for all palms.
Indeed, the name “ultra” says a lot: it will be suitable for users wanting an extraordinary device. Relative to Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus, The Ultra benefits from a greater zoom capacity, a stylus and a solid screen of 6.8 inch larger than those of theiPhone 14 Pro Max and Google Pixel 7 Pro. You may not need it all but after handling this phone for a few days, we would not blame you for wanting to benefit from its strengths.
The camera of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is a notch above
If you looked at the presentation Apacked From Samsung, you already know that the main camera of the Ultra S23 is its most precious attribute. Samsung added a 200 megapixel sensor for the first time, marking a technical improvement compared to the main camera of 108 megapixels of S22 Ultra.
With the ultra S23, you have the possibility of taking Photos of 12 megapixels, 50 megapixels or 200 megapixels. Samsung’s Expert RAW application is now integrated into the native camera app after you downloaded it for the first time. Although we are not used to editing raw images, The use case certainly seems appropriate for a phone like this. The shooting in RAW format allows photographers to retouch the full and uncompressed version of an image, which gives them more flexibility and data to be used in terms of colors and exposure.

The improvements made to the colors, the dynamic range, the autofocus and the low light performance seem more significant than increased definition. During the announcement of the Ultra S23, Samsung said that his new image sensor was more efficient To reduce noise and that his algorithms were more effective To improve colors and details. These changes are more perceptible to the naked eye than increased definition.
The biggest differences that we noticed in these photos of 200 megapixels compared to images of 108 megapixels taken on the Galaxy S22 Ultra concerned the colors. The difference is only noticeable when you zoom in to see the actual size of the pixels.
Those who have already taken photos with Samsung phones may have noticed that the colors sometimes seemed exaggerated. Samsung has improved this point in recent years, But the Pixel 7 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro always take photos that seem more natural overall.
But, natural does not always mean better. There are times when the exaggerated treatment of Samsung works well, and others when it does not work. For photos of people and pets, for example, the accent put by Samsung on color can give rise to more flattering images. However, Samsung phones do not always manage difficult lighting scenarios very well.
The colors of the landscape photos taken by the ultra galaxy s23 may seem more lively and exaggerated compared to those of the iPhone 14 pro and the pixel 7 pro. Samsung has done a great job with the dynamic range.
The South Korean manufacturer is still The king of photography in low light. During our tests, the Galaxy S23 Ultra captured better details and colors. He was able to make a clearer development than the Pixel 7 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro. It was also slightly better than the Galaxy S22 Ultra, even if it was sometimes tight.
Regarding other photo modules, you can expect at the same disposal as on the Galaxy S22 Ultra. In addition to the main camera, there is also an ultra-angle of 12 megapixels and two telephotives of 10 megapixels which allow a 3x or 10x optical zoom and a digital zoom up to 100x. The photos taken by the Ultra Grand Angle are Rich in color and brightness.
You will also get more zoom than what you probably need on the Ultra S23, but it could be useful for people who frequently take photos during concerts and sporting events. The 100x digital zoom may seem not very handy, but Samsung offers A higher optical zoom than its competitors. Like the ultra S22, the ultra S23 can zoom in optically up to 10x, while the iPhone 14 Pro is 3X and the Pixel 7 Pro is 5x.
Video recording on the Galaxy S23 Ultra has passed to 8K at 30 images per second (FPS), While it was previously limited to 24 fps at this resolution. Samsung also increased the field of vision when recording 8K videos, which is very appreciable compared to the ultra galaxy s22.
Even if Google offers more natural colors in photography, we have experienced opposite when it comes to saving videos. The Galaxy S23 Ultra has generally captured colors and a sharpness more realistic Compared to pixel 7 pro during our tests. The iPhone 14 Pro was a close competitor, but the Samsung sequences presented a little more details. When we tested the video capabilities of each phone, we recorded clips at the highest definition and frequency of supported images. That is to say 8K to 30 images per second for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, 8k to 24 images per second for the Galaxy S22 Ultra and 4K at 60 images per second for the iPhone 14 Pro and the Google Pixel 7 Pro.
Samsung also highlighted the new 12 -megapixel front camera from the Ultra S23 during the phone announcement, which she said, Better separates the background of the background for more clarity. The selfies were clear and colored overall, and we preferred the photos taken with the selfie camera of the S23 Ultra to that of the Pixel 7 Pro in all the tests. Those of the Ultra Galaxy S22 were comparable to those of the Ultra S23, but the selfies of the iPhone 14 Pro presented the best overall combination of details and precise colors. Samsung selfies seemed sometimes unnatural. The only exception was in the event of very low lighting, an area where Samsung reigns supreme.
Overall, we were impressed by the cameras of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. They stay The best for shots with zoom and photography in low light. The improvements made to color and the dynamic range are also notable, and fans of Samsung which go from a smartphone old at least two years will probably see a major difference.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra performance
The ultra galaxy s23 works with a SOC Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Which is not surprising since Samsung generally uses the founder’s last chip for his new phones. What is surprising, on the other hand, is that the manufacturer has decided to personalize this chip more than usual for the S23 series. Samsung calls it the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, and it is essentially a special version of the processor that has been optimized for better performance and better energy efficiency. A standard version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is included in competing phones like the OnePlus 11 5G.
The Ultra S23 is lively, Whether for navigation on the interface, play games during a video call or run the Dex program to use the phone as a PC. We connected our ultra S23 to an external screen, connected a keyboard and a mouse via Bluetooth and runs five applications, including Google Docs, in order to take notes for this article. We never felt shift or overheating during one of these tasks.
Antutu, Geekbench, 3D Mark and PC Mark.
The Ultra S23 can also export videos quickly, which can be useful for those who run and frequently set up video projects on their phone. In our tests, he exported a 4K video clip of 30 seconds in 1080p three seconds faster than the S22 Ultra and 10 seconds complete faster than the Pixel 7 Pro on average. The iPhone 14 Pro, however, ended the work about three seconds faster than the Ultra S23 on average. The ability of internal memory has been doubled Compared to the basic model of the Galaxy S23 Ultra (256 GB against 128 GB), which gives you more space to store these video projects.
Samsung’s new smartphone has also obtained Better results than the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the Pixel 7 Pro and the OnePlus 11 5G on our usual benchmarks. The iPhone 14 Pro has however reached a higher score than that of the ultra S23 on Geekbench 5, but lower on that 3dmark Wilds Life Extreme which measures brief periods of high intensity.
Autonomy and load of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
The ultra galaxy s23 has a battery 5,000 mAh, Like the ultra Galaxy S22, but it has better energy efficiency, thanks to its new processor. After 12 hours of use, which is equivalent to a full working day and more, the battery was only 66 %. The ultra S23 can easily ensure two days of use.

We also carried out a 45 -minute test during which we played games, a 10 -minute video call, consulted social media and broadcast continuous videos; During this period, the S23 Ultra has passed from 100 % to 94 %. The Galaxy S22 Ultra fell 91 % during this same test. The results of the Ultra Galaxy S23 are similar to those of Pixel 7, which also reached 94 % after this 45 -minute challenge. (During this test, we maintained the brightness at 50 %, left the high refresh rate parameter activated and deactivated the Always-On).
Like the ultra galaxy S22 of last year, the ultra galaxy s23 supports a maximum wire load of 45 watts. You must use the appropriate adapter, which you will have to buy separately if you do not already have one, because Samsung does not provide it in the box. Until now, this power of 45 watts has enabled our S23 Ultra to pass From 46 % to 91 % in just 30 minutes from Charge.
It is not bad, but it would be great to see Samsung pushing things further now than companies like OnePlus and Xiaomi offer a quick charge of more than 100 watts. THE Xiaomi 12t Pro, For example, supports the fast charge of 120 watts and went from zero to 100 % in just over 20 minutes.
Design, screen and other features of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
The ultra galaxy s23 is almost identical to the Galaxy S22 Ultra. But this year, it is available in cream, green, black and lavender colors. Like last year’s device, it is certified IP68, Which means that it can be immersed in 1.5 meters of fresh water for 30 minutes.
There is no doubt, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is a gigantic phone, just like its predecessor. It has a 6.8 -inch screen, making it slightly larger than the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the 6.7 -inch Google Pixel 7. If you read a lot, play, edit photos and watch TV on your phone and you don’t mind stretch your fingers to use it with one hand, you will probably appreciate the additional space on the screen.

We are also sure that you will never have trouble seeing the screen of the Galaxy S23 Ultra in full sun. It is super bright, with a peak in 1750 Nits, Which is higher than the 1500 nits of the Pixel 7 Pro, but less than the 2000 Nits of the iPhone 14 Pro. Despite everything, it is bright enough to meet the needs of most people.
You will also have A S Pen stylus, Just like the ultra galaxy s22 last year. Samsung’s ultra range has actually replaced the Galaxy Note series, which was previously known for its big screens and integrated stylus. Expect the same familiar experience with the S Pen stylus on this device; As soon as you get it out of its slot, you will see a contextual menu appear with compatible applications like Samsung Notes and the Penup drawing application. We are not used to using the S Pen frequently, but we found ourselves taking notes during this test more than we had planned.
Samsung also undertakes once again to Four generations of updates to the Android operating system, What is tied with the OnePlus 11 and exceeds the promise of three years of Google for the pixel 7 and 7 pro. Samsung, OnePlus and Google provide every five years of security updates for their last devices. This means that you will not have to worry that the S23 Ultra software feels out of date since it is launched with Android 13 and the One UI 5 software.1 from Samsung.
One of the additional functions you benefit from by opting for ultra or most rather than the standard model is the support of Ultra Wideband technology, which allows you to connect to the nearby devices with more precision than Bluetooth. Supporting this technology is not a necessity, but it can make file sharing or using your phone as a faster and easier digital car key. We could see more services and accessories that require it in the future.
Conclusion
The ultra galaxy S23 in fact, but in the right direction of the word. Its large screen, its main 200 megapixel sensor, its 100x zoom and its S Pen are perhaps more than most people need in a phone. But it is exactly the public that Samsung aims, and it is in fact an iteration on a formula that has worked in the past.
It is intended for people who actively seek features such as a very large screen and a versatile photo part, and who are ready to pay the high price to obtain them. If you just want a new reliable Android smartphone with an excellent camera, the Pixel 7 Pro, the Galaxy S23 or the more expensive Galaxy S23, will probably do the.
The Ultra Galaxy S23 has a 6.8 -inch giant screen. James Martin/Cnet
The new camera of the Ultra Galaxy S23 is The most significant change compared to the ultra S22 of last year. But according to our experience, the improvements that Samsung has brought behind the scenes to the way the camera captures colors, skin tones and dynamic range are more interesting than the only increase in definition.
Samsung could do more to advance the Galaxy Ultra range beyond the camera. We would have liked to see a faster load, for example. And even if the photo equipment is impressive, the iPhone 14 Pro has often exceeded it in our tests.
If you want to enjoy a giant screen, an excellent camera and update a phone that is over two years old, you will not be disappointed with the S23 Ultra.

Galaxy S23 Ultra
Design
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone benefits from a Design quite similar to the previous version, But in an even more refined and classic style than the ultra galaxy s22. Indeed, it offers particularly sober lines and a completely flat back.
There is three relatively wide circles that are aligned vertically Embarking the main sensors while two other circles with a smaller diameter are there to complete the painting of the cameras. THE objectives seem just placed on the rear surface device. It gives it a very refined side that we really appreciate. However, it must also be recognized that, without hull, dust can accumulate between the objectives. This design is also applied to other models in the S23 series while the previous model cultivated its difference.
Mobile profiles are perfectly rounded to offer an excellent grip. This is not the case with the superior and lower profiles which are completely flat. On the right side, there is the button to stand in standby and the double button to manage the volume. The chassis is made of metal revealing, here and there, the antennas to capture the signals, whatever the position of the device. There is a microphone on the upper profile. On the one at the bottom, there is another microphone, a speaker, the USB-C connector, the location to store the stylus and the SIM card drawer. Note immediately that the mobile can support up to 2 simultaneously simultaneous cards, but no memory card to extend the internal storage capacities of the device. The drawer is protected from water infiltration. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is IP68 certified So completely waterproof, even in complete immersion, as well as dust.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone is the most imposing of the brand. It accuses a weight of 233 grams (240 grams for the iPhone 14 Pro Max and 229 grams for the Xiaomi 13 Pro), which makes it feel good in your pocket and in your hand. It is also very large, among the largest on the market. Count on a height of 163.4 mm for a width of 78.1 mm against 160.7×77.6 mm for the iPhone 14 Pro Max and 162.9×74.6 mm for the Xiaomi 13 Pro. It is relatively thick offering an 8.9 mm profile against 8.4 mm for the Xiaomi 13 Pro and only 7.85 mm for the Apple Mobile.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra offers A stereo sound. It is particularly consistent and balanced For a mobile phone, which is a very good thing. It is practically exempt from distortion and can allow you to watch a video, or even a series in completely acceptable conditions. Of course, the spatialization effects of Dolby Atmos format with which it is compatible will be better with a helmet, but it is already very good with the integrated speakers on both sides.
For connectivity, the ultra galaxy S23 does not do half measures offering the best in the market with a capacity to use networks 5G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6th. Also note the possibility of detecting connected objects located nearby via the ultra -wide strip connection. He is ESIM compatible. THE fingerprint is installed under the screen. The detection zone is located 3.5 cm from the edge, which allows you to naturally place the thumb on it. The reader turned out to be perfect during our tests, blocking the road to other fingers than that of our tester and unlocking the device fairly quickly so that the operation is satisfactory and not frustrating.

A very high quality screen for the ultra galaxy s23
The Galaxy S23 Ultra uses an AMOLED slab manufactured by Samsung Display which has a diagonal of 6.8 inch with the two curved sides. This allows him to offer extremely fine side edges, but this is also the case of the upper and lower edges. We have noticed a very slight chromatic drift and we can appreciate large vision angles offered by this screen. It can rise to a definition of 1440×3088 pixels, But can also stay below to save energy. In addition, we can count on an LPTO slab which means that it can do vary the frequency of refreshment between 1 and 120 Hz, Depending on the application used, to automatically find the best compromise between fluidity and battery consumption. Obviously, there is a sensor that measures the ambient brightness to automatically adjust the brightness of the screen. In addition, one can also count on a heat sensor which allows to adapt the Colors according to the ambient shade to limit eye fatigue, in visual comfort options within parameters. It is possible to choose between the lively or natural display mode. Also note the possibility of playing on color temperature to get a colder or hotter shade. The screen Support the HDR10 video format+, But still no Dolby Vision at Samsung. For comparison, the screens of the Xiaomi 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max support both formats.
The display surface of the Ultra Galaxy S23 is a treat to use on a daily basis. The screen responds perfectly to all the requests (if necessary, you can increase the sensitivity of the screen) and is very bright to be used outdoors, even in full sun as well as in dark condition, With a completely acceptable minimum brightness.
There is a frontal photo sensor written in a small circle at the top, in the center of the screen which does not bother every day. The screen is protected with Corning Gorilla Glasse 2 technology (against Victus on the ultra galaxy S22) more resistant in particular against scratches and falls against hard materials such as asphalt or bitumen.

Android 13 with a one UI overlay
Like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is animated by Android 13 with a one UI 5 overlay.1 Developed by Samsung. If you are a regular at the Mobiles of the South Korean brand, you will not be disoriented. The interface is highly customizable. You can sail in the menus with gestures. There is a sidebar if necessary, an application manager that allows you to switch from one to the other very quickly or to launch some of the most recently used. It is possible to make a link with a computer under Windows in order to exchange files or even display the content of the mobile screen on the PC monitor. Several applications are preinstalled including those of Microsoft (Office, OneDrive, Linkedin and Outlook) and Google those. Netflix, Facebook and Spotify are also one of the applications that are immediately found when using the smartphone.
Of course, Samsung also offers its own applications including SmartThings, Samsung Health, Samsung Pay, Bixby, AR Zone, Samsung TV Plus or Smart Switch to quickly go from one mobile to another by copying data.
There are many parameters to organize and manage mobile. They are well organized and a search engine allows you to find the desired option. Note the availability of a “maintenance” mode which allows you to block access to the data of the device during the repair of the device. It’s very well thought out. On our test model, the Google Play update dated January 1, 2023 while that of security dated from February 1, which is very recent for tests carried out in February. On this side, we can trust Samsung to follow the next updates since the firm promises 4 years of updates.
A note on the quantity of internal memory used by the system and the overlay which is particularly important: Over 70 GB .

The stylus
Like the previous model, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a stylus. This one offers the same functions as its predecessor, in particular to take notes, scroll through images or trigger the photo, remotely. There are no news here.
Among the best performance on the market with its special “for galaxy” chipset
No more s versions with an exynos chipset ! The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, like the other mobiles in the S23 series, benefits from a special version of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor indicated “For Galaxy”. Under this name “Marketing”, it must be understood that the original Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip found in other high -end mobiles of 2023 has been optimized for Samsung mobiles. Indeed, The clock frequency of the main heart is higher than that of others allowing better gross performance.
In addition, Qualcomm and Samsung have also worked together to optimize hardware/software interactions in particular in order to have an even more fluid interface and features as more bicycle than the others. With the calculation power offered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip that we have already been able to measure in particular during our Red Magic 8 Pro test, were such optimizations really needed ? Not sure since the performance is extreme and allow you to achieve a very large number of things in minimum time. But so Samsung can boast of offering optimization that others have not. The Ultra Galaxy S23 is a treat to use on a daily basis, always responding with disconcerting velocity and extreme fluidity. Nothing can resist him. It is possible to play video games, even among the most demanding with maximum details and playability. Remember that the chipset is associated with 12 GB of RAM. In the parameters, a little hidden (battery and maintenance of the device then memory), it is possible to access the RAM Plus function which, once activated, allowsAssign 2, 4, 6 or 8 GB of additional virtual RAM, if applicable. Too bad this menu is not more visible. A high performance mode is available.
In order to compare the gross performance of the mobile with others, we have submitted it to several tests of which here are the main results. The length test shows that the full potential of the chipset is not really used. Indeed, it is during the very first minutes, but then, the performance is maintained at around 80%.
What is worth with its 200 megapixel sensor and its 10x optical zoom
The ultra galaxy s23 is perfectly capable of Read the contents of streaming platforms with a full HD definition Since it is compatible with the Widevine L1 protocol.
For photos, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is the most equipped brand mobile to take photos. Indeed, he is the first to take advantage of the 200 megapixel Samsung HP2 sensor, Different from the one proposed within the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra (Samsung HP1). Compared to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the latter uses a 108 megapixel sensor Samsung HM3. The main Galaxy S23 Ultra sensor is associated with a Ultra high-angle sensor of 12 megapixels like the previous one, But who changed references preferring a Sony IMX564 against a Sony IMX563 previously. The other two 10 -megapixel sensors allowing a 3X optical zoom and a 10x optical zoom are identical to the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
At the front, there is a sensor of 12 megapixels capable of filming in HDR10 format+ thus allowing the details to be well managed in clear and dark areas.

The application interface is very classic with several options available at the top of the screen, the framing area, zoom levels (0.6x, 1x, 3x and 10x) immediately accessible then the sockets view (portrait, photo, video and more). The menu plus allows access to other modes: pro, professional video, night, food, panorama, super idle, slow motion, hyperlapse, portrait video, director’s view (double view) and single take. It is possible to customize the interface with favorite modes. By default, and it is extremely practical, the mobile indicates where the best shooting can be made with a virtual module that moves on the screen and that it is a question of aiming. It is a total success and allows you to take very beautiful photos, helped by the interface. It is however possible to do without it. The photos produced by the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra are beautiful With a very high level of detail. The main sensor does wonders, especially with a Excellent colorimetry and a very wide dynamic range. The bitter is extremely interesting. THE Ultra Grand Angle module also benefits from excellent colorimetry, which is far from always the case, avoiding when going from one module to another to have significant differences between the two. Zooms are also a treat to use, but also to observe. We loved the precision of telephoto lens. The 100x level is not really usable, but allows you to do very beautiful things at a lower level. Details and especially the contrast are better than with the Google Pixel 7 Pro As we can see in the photos below. During the shots in dark conditions or at night, the mobile manages to produce detailed and clear images. In short, from our point of view, the Galaxy S23 Ultra gives fully satisfaction, in all circumstances.
For the DxOMark laboratory, he obtained a score of 140, as much as the Google Pixel 7 and less as the new reference, the Honor Magic5 Pro (152).
The ultra galaxy s23 is capable of Film with an ultra HD 8K definition at 30 frames per second.
A large battery for a very beautiful autonomy, the load on the other hand ..
The ultra galaxy s23 has a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh. This is a good thing with its processor more efficient than the previous one and consumption optimization algorithms, this allows it to offer a Excellent autonomy of a day and a half with a single load. On the other hand, what we can blame him for is the fact that he supports the Load at 45 watts maximum where some mid -range models offer 67 watts, or even 120 watts (as on the Xiaomi 13 pro, for example, a high -end model, of course, but at least up to its rank for this characteristic), for a much shorter recharge time. He tries to compensate with the possibility of a wireless load (10 watts) and an inverted load, if applicable. Count on a gain of approximately 32% after 15 minutes of load.
