Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra offer a little more value over last year's models. The two phones, announced at Samsung's Unpacked event in San Francisco alongside the Galaxy Book 3, cost the same as their 2022 Galaxy S counterparts, but...

Pros
Cons

Great design, Massive feature set, Huge and versatile camera, Impressive performance, Fast 5G, Water resistant, Supports the SPen
The phone is so big, it may be unwieldy for some, Camera can be a little slow, Pen hasn't changed much, and this is more a spec bump update

Samsung's premium glass slab offering with an S-Pen and DeX, 200MP camera is about bragging rights but generally lives up to the promise, Fast processor, RAM, and storage, Excellent battery life, 2+4+5 warranty/OS upgrades/security patches
No charger inbox and only up to 27W charging from third-party chargers, Base model 8/256GB – this is supposed to be a premium phone, An 8-bit/16.7m colour screen is inappropriate for a premium flagship, No mountable external SSD for videographers and vlog
Amazing detail captured by 200MP main camera, Excellent display that is visible in direct sunlight, Fun and creative Astro photography modes, More processing power that you'll probably ever need
Design is attractive but could be a little more distinct than the older S22 Ultra, Google Pixel 7 Pro is cheaper while offering a competitive feature set, No major advances apparent with 100x zoom in terms of clarity vs the S22 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra packs in class-leading camera features, along with the latest and most powerful hardware ever in a Galaxy smartphone. It's as good as you can get in an Android smartphone, as long as you can afford it...
