Cons
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
Size is part of everyday use
With a 6.8-inch screen and a weight of 233 g, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is noticeable in a hand or pocket. Video has plenty of room, but reaching the top one-handed is awkward, and a case adds bulk.
Storage needs planning
There is no microSD slot. If you record lots of video or keep an offline media library, choose enough storage at purchase: you cannot add a card later, and cloud storage needs an internet connection.
No 3.5 mm headphone socket
Traditional 3.5 mm headphones need a compatible USB-C adapter. USB-C headphones or Bluetooth are the other options.
