Each year I purchase the Galaxy S Ultra version. But not this year. For 2023, I went with the Galaxy S23 Plus, and I did this so I could see if it was a better bang for the buck. And what I ended up discovering is shocking! Enjoy!

Watching on my 23+! I bought the 23 plus exactly for the reasons you stated. The ultra was too big, I would never use the S pen..so paying another $200 did not make sense to me. Phone works great for my needs

Loving it, been use it for 1 month and not regret buying it
The battery really can last for the entire day( sot 8 hours) with remain 20% battery
And the smooth for scrolling media is so great
Really the best phone i haver had

Got my s23+ after a $1000 trade in with Verizon. Traded my s10 edge for the 23. And what a difference. I'm sure I'll be keeping this phone for over 4 years and should let as long, if not longer, than my s10

Got a Pixel 7 pro at first and returned it after just 2 days (overheating). Got this one right after and have been loving it. Not even using a launcher (past nova launcher prime user, though I might use it again) this phone really tickets all the boxes for me especially after coming from a s20+ exynos edition (yuck I know) and to add to it this phone truly is beautifull and has great battery life. Samsung has outdone themselfs with this phone for me

Nice to see a review on the plus! Not too many out there! Good stuff

[danoconnell]

I'm still rocking the S8 hahaha. I'm old school so I use the phones until they longer support them. I did some research and I'll be getting the S23+ for the same reasons you mentioned. I can't imagine adding a case to the ultra and trying to sit down with it in your pants pocket

[GergoMarosvari]

I watched several test videos from S23+ but this one convinced me the most to buy S23+, so thanks a lot for this detailed review!
I think I'll choose the green color (8/256), but the cream color also looks really beautiful.

I switched from iPhone 14 Promax to Samsung 23+ since then I have been enjoying it. I will never go back and try to use heavy phones anymore

[angied]

Better battery life and speakers compared to s22 plus, these two features are most important to me so it was worth the upgrade

[jadebethj]

I've had mine for 2 weeks now and I'm really enjoying it.

I bought the S23 256GB Cream and it's a great phone the battery life is very solid now and it's easy to handle, also the chipset is better than ever! As for the case i use the spigen liquid air black it makes the phone grippy and it's slick instead of the bulky fat cases that turns phone's into bricks, that said i'm really satisfied with the S23 because we always had the exynos trash can chipsets in europe!

Heads up: you need a 5 amp cable to charge at the 43w. The cable samsung includes in the box is 3 amp.

[shab-re]

not to forget that s23 has an easily replaceable battery
this helps with 5 year of updates as other phones will have dead batteries up until then

[Agitated_Hamster]

The S23+ is my preferred design of choice, however the specs are not up to par with the Ultra...so if I'm going to waste money on a phone I might as well get the best, so thats what I did. If the S23+ and the Ultra had the same specs I would have gotten the S23+ since I still don't like the curve on the S23U.

[slmyatt]

Presale, I traded my S20 FE for the S23+ as I did not have the extra $200 for the Ultra.
The only thing I wish I had is the 10× optical zoom.

[iAfroTech]

S23+ is totally an OK upgrade when you live in Europe with a terrible Exynos.
If you don't need S-Pen, S23+ is the way to go, same 8 Gen 2, overall good cameras, flat display and improves battery life

[oscarcastro]

I've been eyeing the Plus for a while instead of going for the Ultra. I'm currently running a Pixel 6 and I'm getting really annoyed by the poor brightness and inconsistent performance. But what makes me hesitant with doing the switch is loosing Stock Android.

[iasmiraj]

Absolutely agree with you that Samsung should update the looks of OneUI.

[Betancourtdm]

Samsung trade in values are amazing during pre-order or promo timeframes. The usually offer close to buyback prices.

Is it worth upgrading from a S21 Plus I'm your opinion?
