Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is Samsung’s best phone for 2023, and easily one of the best Android phones you can buy.

It takes everything great about the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and builds on it, with a new 200MP camera that can take immensely detailed photos, and a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset, that’s a supercharged version of one of the fastest smartphone chipsets on the planet.

Only Samsung has access to this supercharged version, so no Android phone not made by Samsung is likely to match the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for power for quite a while.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra also has a versatile camera setup, with not just that 200MP main sensor, but also a 12MP ultra-wide, a 10MP telephoto (with 3x optical zoom), and a 10MP periscope (with 10x optical zoom). Very few phones offer 10x optical zoom, so for distance photography this is the champ.

It’s also got one of the best screens you’ll find on a smartphone, as it’s a massive 6.8-inch one with an incredibly crisp 1440 x 3088 resolution. It also has a 120Hz refresh rate, and can get very, very bright when needed.

Rounding out the specs, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra comes equipped with a handy S Pen stylus for writing and sketching, and it has loads of RAM, plenty of storage, 5G, and a big 5,000mAh battery.
