I bought the S23+(8+512) for $822 during a sale, the main reason why I bought the S23+ was the battery life, storage and the shape of the phone, one thing I dislike is not having WQHD+. But after buying I saw an S23 Ultra(8+256) go for $868 and now I wonder if I should’ve just gone that way instead with just having 256gb of storage but better phone overall(camera, WQHD+, screen shape and size, S Pen,). The main thing I was worried with the Ultra is the size and shape even though I’ve not held one myself, but it’s definitely better in terms of viewing content due to the rectangle screen and taller screen size too. I was thinking long term when I bought the plus version coming from S8+/S9+ which are 5 and 4yrs old and I needes a replacement for my S9+ because of green lines. I can’t help but wonder if I made the right choice because I feel like missing out on the Ultra features with some tradeoffs, should I have gone for the Ultra?
The s23u is really nice, downsides? Probably the weight and not being able to use a screen protector with a case. The only way to know if you made the right choice is by comparing the features and differences between the 2 and seeing whether you would actually use those features. For me I bought the ultra for the bigger screen, storage, and cpu. I never use my pen. Screen resolution between the s23+ and s23u isnt something you’ll notice unless you look closely due to the ppi being high for a small screen. If you end up deciding that the ultra is worth, I would wait a a few months for the s24’s to be announced and check reviews on it.
I’m using a screen protector with a case rn - but yeah I agree with most else. Square design makes it a bit iffy to hold, even with big hands, really wish they continued the S22 Ultras design.
I think you mean the S21 Ultra.
What is the difference in CPU between the S23U and the S23+? I thought they both used the SD G2.
