    That is really brave, create “vs” video, without any information about subject. Meh :/

    Samsung battery are not 5000mah, it’s actually 4855mah and it doesn’t last 1.5 day with every day usage…

    Iphone has larger sensors in its camera lenses. Which I’d objectively better than more pixels. Consider infinix phones with 108mp main sensors

    • J T

      February 2, 2023 at 11:12 pm

      Yeah and btw those iPhone sensors are Sony’s. Samsung’s are their own.

    Possibly be upgrading to this from my Note 20 Ultra

    • MoezNr1 One

      February 2, 2023 at 11:36 pm

      Me to Note 20 ultra buddy.. my note fell in the bath thub and my screen died like a week ago😝 watch out with water around your note 20 ultra the screen replacement is 350 euro in europe😖

    Ngl when I’m able to I wish I could get both IPhone and samsung, 1 for work and one for every day use… I would get the S23 Ultra for work and the 14 Pro max for every day use. They’re both soo good and even tho I have an S20 FE rn I wish it can happend one day

  11. Anthony Fanella

    February 2, 2023 at 8:01 pm

    Only trading in my S21 Ultra because I can get the s23 Ultra for around 700 bucks with trade in and military pricing

    • Ozgun Akkaya

      February 2, 2023 at 10:27 pm

      That’s exactly what I did. They’re offering $800 for my cracked Note 20 Ultra, which I won’t be able to fetch anywhere else. Might as well upgrade in that case.

  12. Darque Matt3r

    February 2, 2023 at 8:14 pm

    I see no reason to upgrade from the 22 ultra. Think I’m gonna look in to more gimmicky phones. Maybe rog strix has something cool to go along with my super computer

    Samsung is also giving you a 512gb storage option for the price of the 256 with preorder

  15. momo

    February 2, 2023 at 10:09 pm

    I don’t use either but the s23 by far not even close is the better phone. Even the s22 still better

  22. Steve Tech

    February 2, 2023 at 11:47 pm

    I think both companies phones are over-priced with more features than the average person needs.
    I’m happy w/ my Google 5, holding up fine after 2.5 years, purchased at a fraction of the price. 😁

      February 3, 2023 at 1:51 pm

      When I watched the release announcement I kept thinking yep wont use that wont use that wont use that. But its hard to beat a 23u for $400 after trading in my defunct note 8 and switching to verizon.

  23. John Augustus

    Don’t buy the s22 ultra it’s garbage

    Face it, the only phone people are waiting to buy this year is the insane A17 Bionic all-new iPhone 15 Pro Max. This just makes you feel even more sorry for Samsung’s same-looking hyped S23 Ultra. 💯😁

    February 3, 2023 at 1:43 am

    I think I have to be wait for S24Ultra

    There are S23 with 256gb and 12gb ram. Not all base are 8gb ram.

    It’s not fair on Samsung comparing the iPhone to the Samsung, the iPhone is in a league of it’s own, always has been and always will be!
    Compare Apples with Apples and stop picking on Samsung by putting it up against the iPhone

    • kSetuni

      February 3, 2023 at 2:38 pm

      you do realize that apple started the trend of no expandable storage and everyone else followed it. at least with android you can get a micro sd card adapter that plugs into the usb c port. cant do that with apple.

    The S22 Ultra has 12GB RAM for the 256GB storage, so the 8GB for the 256GB S23 Ultra seems like a bit of a downgrade

    I’m going to skip the S23 ultra and staying with my S22 ultra a year longer (not much improvement). I went to work and used my phone all day long. Went with 95% and there’s still 70% battery life left after 12 hours. While my iPhone colleagues all run around with chargers crying – on teams – if anyone has one to spare during the day. Although I believe the look of the iPhone is more elegant with the round forms and the cute camera “cooking plate” on the back.

    • Muhammet Ali Çelik

      February 3, 2023 at 9:10 pm

      As an s22 ultra as my main device, and iphone user for testing games in a iOS based game company, I can confirm you are either lying or not even touching your phone at all.. Our SoT is 6 hours at best while all other flagship iphones staying not even below 50% battery

    • Brulluhman

      February 3, 2023 at 9:59 pm

      @Muhammet Ali Çelik Maybe iPhone14 ones. Even with my S8 I kept for 3, 5 years I didn’t have any problem with the battery life. And I’m an active user. iPhone good when you want to make videos. For pictures you’re better of with Samsung.. also battery durance.

    • Muhammet Ali Çelik

      February 3, 2023 at 10:21 pm

      @Brulluhman we are in the same boat actually. I still have my S9+ and I use s22u for its camera and social/gaming stuff. but it just can’t beat iphone for battery duration. Not just 14, I’ve been using all the ones since 11 series. That’s why I switched to s23u.

  44. Fckn__Gabe

    Yeah.. 128gb is not sufficient anymore.. for me! My phone 256 and almost full, it’s look like i carry on half memory of laptop! Video/photo resolution getting better and it take so much space. I admit i love using phone rather than laptop 🫨🫨🫨

  51. Outside Duh Box

    February 4, 2023 at 12:28 pm

    I still have the s20 ultra and it is still way more than enough for me even. I have no complaints. If it wasn’t for losing security update support from samsung in 2024 or 25…i would keep it until it broke. Unless something super new came about…
