It may not be perfect but we love the Galaxy S23 Ultra
We also happen to hold the Galaxy S23 Ultra in high regard for many reasons we've explained in our review. The phone has the most premium feel out there, the display is superb, and the 200MP camera takes great photos and videos. Performance is fantastic, and battery life is phenomenal.
This is also the first Galaxy S flagship to use a Snapdragon chipset exclusively in every market, so European users no longer have to worry about the Exynos variant and possibly getting a poorer user experience than customers in Qualcomm markets. But, of course, nothing is perfect, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra isn't either, as great as it is. There are a few niggles here and there.
