I sold my iPhone 13 Pro for the 512gb S23 Ultra and i couldnt be more happier with it, way more freedom and camera and battery are great, i may not use EVERY feature available but knowing they are there if i choose to use them is great. Its just nice to have a phone that i can make my own. Great video as always Ella, much love from the UK 💜

[Boy_favi]

I actually prefer the Galaxy S23 Ultra's curved display and higher resolution. The screen looks soooo nice irl. I held it up close to the Iphone 14 pm, and, the Galaxy S23 U was just eye-catching to me

I am waiting for next year! I am still on the S22 Ultra and totally happy with it. I think iPhones are great, but they are not very inclusive with outside non-Apple products. I just cannot justify spending $1200 for a phone that is marginally better than what I already have while the trade in values have been lowered substantially by Samsung. Hoping the S24 really makes a big leap!

[alvinafotey]

The edge panel is very useful and the camera comparison can never be a draw. The S23 is superior

[omsingh]

Samsung lets u select multiple lock screens as well

[TheDahc]

I use the edge panel ALL the time. Even when I went to pixel I had to install a 3rd party edge panel because of how use to it I was. So great for swapping to apps I use constantly

[shepherdkamumvuri]

This video confirms why the S23 ULTRA is way ahead of the competition. Thanks Ella for dishing us such great content.

4:45 Even though the iPhone has a brighter display, it reduces its brightness in just a few minutes of being under the Sun while the S23U maintains that brightness for much longer. Didn't know about that HDR brightness issue on the S23, appreciate it!
17:17 I don't know what happened but in all the videos I have seen, the Samsung definitely had better stabilization.

I am a Samsung user, but I really like one lock screen feature of the iPhones that almost nobody mentions - depth effect. This can be added by tapping three dots from the bottom right of the lock screen customization page. It's really cool and adds a 3D aesthetic to lockscreen objects. Try it yourself, iPhone users 😊

[wislonj]

That’s really great comparison. I would like to move to S23 ultra, since it’s more customized for the users.

[iamlugas]

just found the channel and I'm in love with it!
you pay so much attention to all the details and make sure it is well explained on the video.
keep it up! you're doing an amazing work here!! 👏

[shankarmuralidhar]

Great video Ella! You’ve covered all the points that people would actually think about before getting one of these. Good job! 👍

[Jacob]

The S23U is killing the game right now. Im obsessed.

[grcjs]

Love to see both phones at the same level and the decision is more about the ecosystem, design and specific features

[estenoesraulo]

Love long term reviews ♥

I think that you could mention differences that you noticed on the long term use, in comparition with the original review.

[EyedCrown]

A good use for the edge panels are not for apps, but for clipboard! So useful to find things you copied days ago like a meme or text 😂

[CHR-benchmarks]

One of the most informative comparisons without just readings spec differences.

[kyuzosensei]

On the Samsung lock screen, you can have multiple lock screens shift whenever the screen turns off. Truly epic, wasn't mentioned or demoed. Other than that, awesome vid. 👍🏿

[ackok]

Sometimes im tempted to have an iphone because what was mentioned mainly in the beginning of the video but i just love customizing my samsung phone, but i do agree with the lock screen widgets i wish samsung would have that type of feature too but other than that definitely still sticking with samsung until iphone become more easily customizable. Im not a crazy photo person the camera isnt a big deal for me personally. But i just love these comparisons video because you can see how each company improves throughout. Great video Ella!
