Hi, i’ve recently managed to break two phones and i’m looking for a new one saddly, and i can’t seem to put my head around the differencies between each s23 models.

From what i’ve read and heard the Ultra is one if not the best camera photo out there, but what about the s23 model ones compared to a iphone 14 pro ?

Is the S pen just a gimmick ?

As someone who’s used small phones how big and comfortable the ultra is compared to a 14 pro ?

Sorry for all those silly questions.

    Get the Ultra, then come back here and post “it’s too big, can’t find a decent screen protector, I’ve dropped it and it’s cracked…”.

    I don’t use the S-Pen that frequently, but it allows me to take notes in classes. Or impromptu locations.

    The s23 and s23+ cameras are good too. The ultras just has some extra stuff. Idk how the 14 pro max feels but the ultra is boxy and big. I have small bands but I like bigger phones. It’s not uncomfortable for me. I think it’s preference. I have heard people say iphone is more comfy but I have heard people say s23u is more comfy. I would say look up YouTube videos about all there phone cameras to be able to make your choice.

    I love small phones and I’ve tried bigger ones, but I hate them. The regular S23 is a great phone, it size and weight is perfect. I tried a S21 FE and the weight is so uncomfortable for me. Keep in mind that I don’t like watching shows or movies on my phone, only YouTube. Because I use the phone all day long, I hate when it feels like a big bulk on my pocket so 6,1 inch is a perfect size. Plus, the battery of the S23 is great for its size. In the end is up to you what you prefer, but if you come from a small phone I recommend you to try a bigger one before making s decision.

    You can take notes, crop objects precisely from images, and write beautiful flowing texts on videos, click pics from a good distance without worrying about the perfect timer (Just click the given button and a nice pic is taken at your discretion) its den.

    You can also use like Harry Potter wand thankfully coz of its various gestures & good lock allowing the indicator to really turn into a wand. Samsung UI is very customizable so you can even customize the sound of taking the pen out & putting the pen back in its den.

    I have used small phones in the past like the iPhone 13, The S23 Ultra is bulkier after I put Spigen Heavy armor back cover on it, but I have big hands so both phones feel comfortable for me to hold and operate.

    The camera on the s23 and plus are still decent. S-pen is mostly something thats like an added tool thats good for note taking or whatever else. If you are a camera person who takes lots of pictures go for the ultra.

    S23 if you’re not always on your phone. S23+ if you want a bigger screen. S23U if you got an extra $600 to burn. Fold5 if you’re short $300 for the S23U(it’s awesome).

    Better get a very protective case and screen protector for your next poor phone. Sending protective thoughts to it.

    i personally love the big square screens. i have my note 20 ultra and the only reason i can’t upgrade is because the s23 ultra is expensive and I can’t bring myself to buy last year’s model.

    Been using the Ultra for the past week and it’s amazing. I’d say forget the base model and get either the S23+ or the Ultra

      The regular s23 is a good phone if you want something smaller. In no way is it a bad phone. It’s pretty comparable to the regular iPhone or iPhone pro (not max) except in camera sensor size.

    I thought the 23 base was too small, and the 23U too big, and the corners (shape) not to my liking. I selected the 23 +, so far no issues and the overall screen size is perfect for me.
