Samsung's new Galaxy S23 Ultra is here and although it may look familiar, there are some welcomed improvements to the design, cameras, performance, and more. Are these subtle improvements enough to justify an upgrade though?

ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
This is the phone you would buy if you wanted the best Samsung had to offer, with a 200MP camera, a built in S-Pen, 

DESIGN
 Floating camera design
 Boxier edges
 Flatter display, but still curved
 This is great for S-Pen usage

 4 colors - phantom black, cream, lavender, and green

 WOW A SIM TRAY
 
 Gorilla Glass Victus 2
 Armor Aluminum
 
6.8” 120Hz QHD+ AMOLED display

S-Pen silo

Package is made of 100% recycled paper


The S23 lineup has a vision booster which adjusts color and contrast  between three levels based on ambient environments


I didn’t notice much that was new with the S-Pen, but we can’t overlook it when talking about this phone.
