Galaxy S23 Ultra: One for the Astrophotography people! Everyone else, take another look at S22 Ultra - PhoneArena

Despite the fact the Galaxy S23 Ultra is shaping up as one of the most comprehensive, feature-rich and capable smartphones of 2023, that doesn’t mean it will exist in a vacuum, which is the key point I'll be making here.

Also, if your carrier comes in with that amazing offer, I’m not going to blame you for choosing the newer phone... For everyone else, a discounted, refurbished, or even used Galaxy S22 Ultra might be the best $650 investment you’ve made in years...

The Galaxy S22 Ultra might very well be the second-best camera phone of 2023 when it comes to versatility; the zoom ceiling of Samsung’s 2022 flagship is still unmatched by any other Android phone/iPhone and it generally takes excellent photos and videos in all lighting conditions

According to a recent price leak, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is expected to start at a mind-spinning €1,400 in Europe, giving European buyers an even better reason to look elsewhere.

Therefore, setting the pace of hardware upgrades and innovating to “just the right level” is pivotal for the success of Samsung as a company (an exception to the rule might be Sony, which seems to make phones for fun).

Potentially influenced by Cupertino, Samsung seems to have realized that throwing in everything you got isn’t the most sustainable business model, and now takes a more relaxed approach to upgrades.
