Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra VS Galaxy S22 Ultra - Older Is Better?? 

Same, camera was the only worry for me, but it seems like it's not that much better to 2000 bucks again. Still a great phone though

@@Desi-Diary I agree 👍🏿

Exactly!

Yup. Keeping the S22U for another year. If the S23U screen was completely flat, I would have switched. I'm usually around a charger and also carry a backup power source if I need longer than a day's battery.

Smart move m gonna upgrade to s24u too..

I was going to get the S 23 but I decided to save the extra grand.

Same. ..

@@bjmcmahon722 Same

Have you update system regurely?

@@rahadioshop6129 yes

The s23 Ultra's battery life is a lot better than the S22 Ultra I used!

Same

Im using the 22ultra since last june but I hate how stuttering the UI is. I tried the 23U in a store yesterday and its so much crispier and smoother I cant wait to switch. Im still considering the fold4 too. But 23u seems to be a great upgrade from the exynos.

​@@Manydesign Your s22 ultra is exynos?

@@Ali_Kareem180 yes it is

Can I ask does it still have the same smoothness? I also own the S22U as you've said the performance is just getting worse here.

i think u will tell the same thing next year :D but oke what ever u feel :)

this is exactly what everyone says when a new samsung phones released. planned obsolescence at it's finest. I have the note 10+ and had the same experience. Smooth and amazing for the first year or so, and then gradually starts stuttering and whatnot until it makes you want to get the next one... might be time to switch over to the google pixel but as someone who makes use of the s pen my options are limited to this and the fold smh

​@Pocketnowswhy do you have an S after. Clown ass fraud 🤡💀

I got the exynos and it sucked. Wish I could get my hands on the snapdragon

Still got my note20 ultra as well for 2 years and 3 months Still a monster of a power user phone, but I do want the s22 ultra hopefully in May for my birthday

I'm clinging onto my note 20 but the touch screen hasn't worked for 8 months now and I can only use it with the S pen. Trying to decide between 22 and 23 to replace the old girl, no idea which to get...

@@sarahhilton8631 hahahaha same shit here. Dropped it and been using the s pen. Kinda get worries sometimes of people judging me.

@@touchmesama2590 yeah I've had that, a lot 😁🤦🏼‍♀️ can't wait to use my phone with one hand again..!

What abouts battery?Is this snapdragon?

@@kostaskintzios1198 Yes this is the SD version in India. The battery life is good and no complaints till date. For my usage I get about 5 hours SOT and the battery lasts for 24 hrs from 100% to 15%.

We need more people like you

Hey! I got the S22U refurb from Amazon and I had to return it as it has some horrible overshapening. I swore off of Samsung but since the S23U, I've seen much better image processing. Do u notice the agressive sharpening on your S22U?

@Nipun Sharma Yes there is sharpening of images but not to the level where it seems unoriginal.

Yeah I was having a slight struggle with the decision here but the extra storage capacity sounds nice and better battery, also i get the samsung watch 6 for a much cheaper price alongside trading in the s22 ultra so I am deciding to get it i suppose.

S6 and S7 are also a good example, as well as the s8 and s9

No they weren’t..

​@@Pocketnow people just like to complain!!! I got S20+ and got as main driver S22 Ultra through Tmobile for $24.17 a month with $70 additional for unlimited with 40 GB Hotspot and free Netflix without commercials!!!! So I'm happy. Tmobile had a deal on launch for S23 Ultra 512 GB with my Magenta plan and tradein for $200, but couldn't do cause I owed on S22 Ultra!!! Wanted to pay $200 in cash for S23 Ultra

How much did you end up paying?

​@@Pocketnow I paid 350 for mine brand new

​@@Pocketnow would have traded my S20+ for a S23 Ultra 512 Gb for $200 but owed on my S22 Ultra so couldn't get deal from T Mobile

@@slothymango that’s a great deal for the S22U. That’s about as much as I payed for mine last year at when I traded in my S20+ and my S10+.

@@jacobperez8921 I traded in a broken pixel 4xl I found on eBay, so I guess I paid a little more than 350 but still great deal 😂

does it get hot whilr gaming?

Yes, especially in my country with Exynos va Snapdragon. Upgraded from s22U to S23U for that reason alone

exactly never worth jumping into the new phone hype, phones get wear and tear over time and the newest versions almost always don't offer the best bang for the buck. s22u is the best cost benefit high tier phone at the moment, I prob won't upgrade til 26u releases lol. No reason to honestly since the improvements are negligible unless you're using it for gaming or professional night videos/pictures.

I'm waiting until the END of YEAR Samsung sale I can't imagine paying 500.00 bucks or more right now this phone is kinda amazing so yeah I'll wait it out patiently

@@katinasoutherland7693 this phone is amazing its worth it at current price range idk if it will get any cheaper

I totally agree. I was going to buy the S 23 ultra but its not a major improvement. And I will save myself at least a thousand dollars.

true but imagine a much better functionning s22 ultra? the issue with s22 ultra Is really the shitty battery... and the pour exécution that makes It feels cheap... s23 ultra Is liké what s22 ultra should Have been in the beginning!

Ha! Great point. Forgot about that. That’s a must upgrade then

​@@Pocketnow you suck

@@Pocketnow Yup, the exact upgrade I did 😁 The battery life is a night and day difference.

And it seems to run smoother

Got my S22 Ultra for $800 off trading my Note 9

@DENVEROUTDOORMAN That's cool as long as your running cost( data fee) is not high.

I feel like everyone says that every year, but then when I get it, it heats up lol Is it really that different? I currently have the s22

@@MisaelMatute76 I totally understand you 🤣 The story goes like this: It was november 2019 when I was looking for a replacement for my OP 5T, I hated Samsung phones for ages, I was tempted to buy an OP 7pro when I saw the note 10 plus in the store. I bought it and was disappointed with the software, with the battery, the screen brightness was lower than on the 5T. After a couple of month I sold it and bought a xiaomi poco f2 pro, best phone, good battery life, uninterrupted screen. After a couple of weeks the popup camera stopped working and start overheating. After that I bought the Oppo reno 10x zoom 5g, the best phone I ever owned, great battery life, uninterrupted screen, nice software, nice cameras. After a couple of months I bought the note 20 ultra, lag city, screen brightness got dimmer if I was using chrome or maps, and the battery was terrible. Sold it, I tried a couple of Oneplus (8t, 8 pro) returned them both and stick with my Oppo, I tried for a couple of month the zenfone 7, great phone but the lack of a decent case was a big let down for me, the phone being too heavy and slippery. I bought the s21 ultra, great battery life for a samsung but the screen brightness problem and dumb software was enough for me to sell it. I bought the OP 9 pro, ticked all the boxes for me for a couple of months, but wanted something better with a better battery life. I bought the s22 plus, I didn't like the ultra becauce having the last 2 notes with a curved screen the s pen was pointless on the edges. And then I heard about Samsung ditching the exynos 😍 and seeing all that 8gen2 goodness, with great battery life efficiency and great thermals, I gave the s22 plus to my wife and waited patiently for the s23 ultra. Now, I can tell you, while every year I was hearing the same thing, Samsung is best, samsung is that, samsung makes the best screens, one ui is the best , it really made me puke, I knew it wasn't true and I know for a fact that youtubers are paid to say all the nice things about them. So I pre-ordered it to see how it goes. Got the phone, charged it to 100 percent, and then set it up, with accounts files, etc.. And then I used the phone, one hour , 2 hours, 3, 4.. and I was like, what the... My second day from 100 percent to 12% got me 11 hours 🙉 I hate one ui and Samsung fanboys but if you want battery life and no overheating you get this phone 👍 Edit: 11 hours of SoT, with max and extra brightness enabled 👏

@@MisaelMatute76 I can give you my current stats: I'm on 22% 9 hours 20 minutes of SoT max brightness with extra brightness enabled 4 hours of youtube 2 hours of chrome 1 hour of maps 1.5 hours of waze

Battery life is amazing mine lasts over 24hrs and it doesn't heat up enough that I've ever noticed

​@@MisaelMatute76 it's because of 8 gen 2.. Just wait and get s24.. If you have option to trade then change it.. Even the base s23 has very good battery..

That's the 21 ultra

I usually get 4-5 SOT with a full charge on my s22 ultra

The s23 ultra without an spen is the S23 plus,it doesn’t have a bigger battery but having a smaller screen makes it seem like it does. The only reason to get the ultra is the spen,otherwise I won’t even think about it,and the s23 and the s23 plus exist just for the sake of it.

@alexz1189 yeah the bigger screen, zoom lens, and battery are the main reasons to put up with the S-pen.

@@Gary_HTX i don't share the amazement over that stupid zoom lens of the majority,frankly i can live without it just fine. As for the screen 6.8 inches is somewhat cumbersome,at this point i'd rather get myself a fold and call it a day.I find my sweet spot to be 6.1 inches,after having 5.8 and 6.7 phones before,the 6.7 was a burden in my pocket cuz of my job,i'm required to crouch a lot under train carts to check their braking systems before departure,and found the phone nagging my ribs and stomach. I thought the s23 plus had 5000 mah as the ultra,after further inspection i found out it's 4500 mah which is a dick move from samsung as there are a lot of devices out there at 6.6 inches that have 5000 mah batteries and faster charging speeds at half of the price of an s23 plus,so yeah...solid proof that samsung became the apple of android in which you pay more for less,just because of the brand.....shame. All in all.the only reason i would buy the ultra is the integrated S pen with higlight on integrated,as i don't care if it has support for s pen but no space for it in the housing,if the plus and even the simple s23 had that i would never shell out money for the ultra.

Thanks dude!

Was gonna trade my S20+ for a S23 Ultra 512 Gb for $200 but still owed on my S22 Ultra so couldn't do at launch trough Tmobile!!! Yeah only real deals were through carriers. Got my S22 Ultra through Tmobile and paying $27.17 per month for 2 years and got 40 GB Hotspot with free basic Netflix without ads for unlimited everything for an additional $70 per mth which is pretty good!!! Get throttled over 100 GB

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Over a year a go I bought s20+ demo model from Best Buy, I paid $500 for it When the s22 Ultra came out it little over $ 1100, Samsung gave me $625 trade in balance due was about $519 with tax was a good deal for me to upgrade. Now they will give me $700 wit a balance about almost $700 more from me for 512 gig model. other than the storage size there id not big difference between the s22 and the s23, I'd like to see a better offer from Samsung. maybe I'm cheap!!

So s22 ultra is the better buy yea?

@@davidbruzer If you don't have s22 Ultra, then go for s23 Ultra. If you already have s22 Ultra, then as per my personal experience, upgrading to s23 Ultra is not a wise decision. However, you can go to a shop and compare both the phones and decide.

@niteshapte ok I currently have the s22 ultra so no need to upgrade no?

@TuerTue I only speak English language

@davidbruzer No. Because I upgraded and regretted. I would still say that it's better to go to a shop and do a comparison and then decide.

im using an s10 and thinking to upgrade, looking for something value for money, was thinking s22 ultra to save some bucks. Should i spend more for an s23 ultra?

or maybe go for the smaller s23/23+ instead?

just realise the biggest bummer is exynos variant s22 ultra 😢 might as well go for s23/s23+

Samsung only got me into upgrading after I damaged my display on the S21 Ultra. Thank goodness the screen wasn't cracked, or I would not have been able to turn it in. I ended up paying a little over $300. I love how I can use the s22 ultra as an external drawing pad with the Super display app. Edit: i think I have to wait for the price to go down to make the upgrade because it insane to upgrade to s23 ultra right now. I went from an LG Stylo 4 to a motorola, then to a samsung s21 ultra. The random brand switch was because LG stylo were no longer being made. The motorola was a blur, so I don't remember which phone it was.

@hardyjoe4278 This is similar to when I switched from LG to Samsung. iNever want an iAnything, so I had to go with Samsung. I was a staunch Blackberry owner who switched to LG (G5 to G6 to G8X to V30 to V60). I only switched to Samsung because LG stopped making phones. Nevertheless, I ended up getting a S23U through a really good deal with Google Fi, and I must say it's a GREAT phone to be honest.

Also feels better to hold as it's not as curved

I had s22u and the battery life improved with updates. Maybe their AI battery life optimization also had a hand in it, but it got much better with time.

Sometimes is a lottery just like you said , I had different experiences with the same model

Yep wiping cache works wonders as well, after some of these updates the phone is slow to optimize properly or get the results you had prior, same thing with out of the box. Wipe cache a few times and you should get awesome results. The other thing is limiting battery and data hungry apps. A quick search will show the how to. Small maintenance for the product you get in return

I'm lucky I got the Snapdragon s22 ultra. So I'm sticking for another year or 2

@@peteradeosun6736 yes, they were much better and if I got a good one I would have also waited for the S24u. You are not missing out on much with the s23u as the 200mp camera is not better than last year's primary (ATM).

I have two units. No issues 🤷🏻‍♂️

So you just leave an S23 Ultra laying around while you use your iPhone day to day? Or switch?

@@John.Christopher yep, sitting on my nightstand rn. Just used it for about a month so I could use the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic with it

More efficient what?

@@davidgallegos4771 easily 2 days to 3 with 7+ of SOT. Idle drain is insanely good

Same thing here... with the S22U I had to charge it until 100%.
