Review Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra by TechAeris
Small but significant design changes
Flatter display less curve means less accidental screen touches
One UI 5.1 is great, don't care what the haters say
Solid performance and super fast
AT&T is actually better than my Verizon
Outstanding speakers
Tried and true camera system
Fantastic battery life
It's expensive and you could get a Pixel on sale for much less
One UI 5.1 isn't going to appeal to everyone
No point in upgrading from the S21 or S22
It's a fantastic phone but every other flagship is fantastic too
