items: items 1: content: I'll break this down into a review of CEX first then the phone below;
Buying the phone was easy (as it always is when you are offering money lol) however CEX did cancel my order twice but I believe that was due to my poor mobile data connection.
Once my order did go through it arrived quickly and safely, included was a usb c cable for charging. No complaints to CEX they were quick and I got exactly what I ordered
As for the phone, what an upgrade!!! I finally had enough of my s10+'s awful battery life and sluggish preformance. Everything is better however I do miss the headphones jack and sd card slot, although the latter isn't so important with the 512gb of storage, my previous phone only had 128gb. The screen is really crisp, although has a few scratches but thats on me for buying a C grade. No other noticable damage on the phone or S pen. The battery is really good, I don't even have to think about charging it during the day so long as I charged it last night, I'd guess it could last me two days if I was careful but it charges quickly so no problem if I need to juice up in a hurry. The camera is a big improvement with up to 100x digital zoom, although I've found anything past about 17x is pointless as it becomes blurry but not unusable. The S pen is a fun little addition but doesn't have much use, I mostly use it for the ocasinal doodle, not that I'm much of an artist. The preinstalled drawing app "pen up" is very very good, my artist friend tried it out and was impressed, it has all the features found in paid drawing software and is easy to use. The speakers are clear and loud, you even get decent bass which surprised me, but I guess everything has come a long way in five years. Small thing but I noticed the touch ID is much quicker which is very nice. Not too sure if the flash gets much brighter than my s10+ but it's perfectly good as is. A few negitives to point out, no bixby key (which I had remapped to open the files app) which kinda sucks, also the volume buttons are on the right above the power button, I find this harder to take a screenshot which I now have to do with two hands unless I'm holding my phone with my left hand which I don't often do. The benifit to having all the buttons on one side is that you can rest it against a wall easier and if it gets pushed into the wall you won't push any buttons by mistake. Lastly not an issue for me but it's quite a heavy phone
Overall I'm pleased with it and would recommend to someone with an older samsung phone looking to upgrade

items 2: content: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Lavender. I have always liked the Samsung brand. I bought this phone for my wife because it has good characteristics. It fits perfectly in the hand. The screen has curved edges, which helps to use the phone more comfortably. The battery lasts a long time, the screen frequency is 120 Hz, which was important for me when choosing a phone. The color for the female half is simply excellent, not bright, stylish. In general, the phone looks laconic. There is a stylus that works great! The packaging is always top-notch, the kit includes a charging cable. In addition, you can buy headphones in the same color. The camera is excellent, cool color rendition, the picture quality is clear, even at night you can clearly photograph the moon. The phone is worth its money.

items 3: content: Samsung galaxy s23 ultra is one of the best samsung devices currently out there. With a 6.8 dynamic amoled 2x display, it provides an immersive experience for both movies and games. The colors are both vivid and vibrant. In addition, the panel provides 120hz refresh rate which makes the animations incredibly smooth. The 23ultra also employs an isocell hp2 200mp main sensor which provides so much detail and depth to each shot. With an ultrawide telephoto and additional optical zoom lens we have here one of the most versatile camera setups on a phone to date. Each shot is detailed crisp and full of color, the settings and easily adjustable to get impressive dynamic range and exposure. The s23 ultra also has a beautiful design. Previously, the s22 ultra has protruding camera rings but were quite unprotected. With s23ultra each main sensor is protected with a brushed metal ring which adds a great emphasis to the power of the cameras. In following with the note series legacy the s23 ultra unit is designed with a curved infinity O screens, and squared edges this makes any viewing angle very satisfying, while note taking and multitasking a breeze. Finally each s23 ultra handset is finished with a satin back panel and polished samsung logo. Totally happy with this design. Makes its experience available for everyone and sustainable for the earth, continuously sharing the epic #withGalaxy!

Definitely for those who enjoy a better picture! The Galaxy store's Gallery app has a lot of other features like magic eraser built in that other phones try sell you on their AI auto editing photo features. Not every other phone with a decent camera has a built in stylus to better finely point to those edits too. Right beside the S Pen is yes, the modern classy type C USB plug in. All the possibile connections you could imagine a gen x phone to have, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, Dolby audio, etc. these reliable connections will you an exceptional experience with everything they help connect you to! In fact I typed this entire review by either dictating it or typing it up on my Bluetooth keyboard. Well that fantastic 7"+ display sure is an incredible sight, suddenly so much more of your phone in the memories making to hold onto. I still feel like this phone is the best smartphone of 2023 and not a Fad Fablet with further regards to dimensions and capabilities, not comparing it directly to the Fold... (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Edges are sleek, and can be overlooked and under used for those who don't know all the hidden features that can be unlocked with apps directly from the Galaxy Store. You can even change Bixby, the virtual assistant voice, to yours. Get your Galaxy s23 today and see what's out there for you!

items 5: content: The Samsung s23 ultra is the only flagship smartphone that boasts a design, with its slim profile and striking display. The device screen that's bright, vivid, and offers excellent contrast. The resolution ensures sharp visuals, making it enjoyable for multimedia consumption, gaming, and productivity tasks and photo editing.
One of the standout features I enjoy is its S Pen stylus, which brings enhanced functionality to the device. The S Pen can be used for precise note-taking, drawing, and photo editing in detail navigating through the user interface. Its remote control capabilities for tasks like taking photos and controlling presentations add an amazing layer of convenience.
Under the hood, the S23 ultra powered by a processor and memory that ensures smooth performance and multitasking. The device is well-equipped for all apps and tasks, making it a suitable companion for both work and play. the battery life is beefy.
In terms of photography and video, the s23 ultra features a triple-camera system that captures high-quality images. The main camera, wide-angle lens, and telephoto lens work together to deliver versatile shooting options, including impressive low-light performance Specially because I love Documenting my life and family for those special videos to show people. Everything you need is in the S23 ultra!

items 6: content: Beauty and the Beast:
The Beauty:
++++++++++
This thing is a beauty, its slim and not too heavy and the screen is bright and punchy, the OLED screen is amazing and watching content on it is a treat.
the only downside is its a fingerprint magnet
The Beast:
+++++++++
This thing is a monster in terms of power and battery, paired with the latest processor and a monster battery this is an entertainment powerhouse that keeps going on for days.
i do a lot on it browsing, reading, youtube, skygo and it barely breaks a sweat. can go on for 2-3days on a charge based on my usage patterns.
for those looking for productivity, the software includes something called dex mode which allows the UI to look more like a laptop would do, it also allows connections to external displays much like a laptop would. this allows for a more pleasant multi tasking setup during use for work. if your work involves lots of typing and documents etc this can definitely replace a traditional laptop maybe not so much for those tasks that require a dedicated GPU ETC. you can connect keyboard/mouse over bluetooth or u can also use the device as a trackpad during DEX. you can also connect a USB C hub.
the pen included is pretty good and is pretty close to using a normal pencil/pen. has all the bells and whistles needed for note takers and artists.
might want to invest in a better keyboard case since the one I got on a promotion is limited in movement as it cannot be detached to use only in tablet mode and doesnt flex for use in different positions and the lacks a backlighting.
Overall thoughts:
+++++++
Ive always loved large tablets since i have larger hands, ive had the predecessor, so getting this was a no brainer for me and is a easy recommend for anyone looking for a decent sized entertainment device and a laptop alternative, for those not looking for this size, might want give its smaller siblings a go

items 7: content: Prior to buying the Tab S9 Ultra, I had the basic Tab S8, which I was happy with. Upon opening the Tab S9 Ultra, I was blown away by how light it is, despite its larger size compared to the Tab S8!
From opening the box to having it setup and my data from the Tab S8 transferred took around 10 minutes using the handy built in Smart Switch app, literally a child could do it so great for those not too tech savvy.
The screen is vibrant, with very vivid colours and the speakers are a huge improvement! Music sounds as it should, and it handles movies with ease.
It looks beautiful without a case, however I do use a case when out and about just for added protection, although it does look like a sturdy piece of kit!
The battery life is perfect for daily use, and has lasted me around 3 or 4 days between charges with pretty frequent use, making it ideal for when I am on the go. The screen is the perfect size to create or amend documents, and is perfect for watching videos on due to its clear large screen – this makes it the ideal on the go tablet for both work and pleasure.
A big added bonus is the SD card feature – this means I can use the SD card I already have with videos and music on to enjoy on the go, but I am still able to pop it out and use in my laptop if I need to.
I am already used to the S Pen having had the Tab S8, and it is a breeze to use. The magnetic charging function means it is always on hand and charged up – great feature!
I haven't used it to its full extent yet and still finding new features, but overall first impressions are that it is a great piece of kit and will undoubtedly be taking more use than my current laptop does!

items 8: content: My everyday activities are carried on about without a hitch. I'm a student, and this device has helped me organize my portfolio and school activities online seamlessly. Keeps me ahead on video editing, online stream and my gaming pleasures at my leisure time.
It handles multiple apps in the background like it's nothing, and my only wish is that I got the device sooner. I faced the challenge of running many educational content in the background with my former device, but this, it's so snappy with task. Nothing I've thrown at it has caused a wobble.
Not to mention, the pictures. Gosh, I love taking pictures on the s23 ultra. I'm so much of a fan that I take random pictures of anything just so see the attention to detail and its magnificently oriented capture options. My favorite is the portrait mode, honestly a cut out of reality into finer reality. Not even going to get started on the 8k videos on 30fps, mind blowing!
Sound and Bluetooth connectivity also makes it an adore, with Dolby atmos, I transcend into the depth of clouds far tucked away at the edge of the universe. I'm so taken away by the richness of the sound quality, I can't find the words to describe.
The phones frame makes me feel like I'm holding on to power itself, its silky smooth back glass makes my fingers feel like they glide through fields of smooth shells. With superior grip and comfort, I never worry or feel any form of discomfort. Sometimes, its not even in my hands, and its there all at once.

items 9: content: Bought the Tab S9 Ultra about a month ago and there really is only one word to describe this device: WOW! This replaces an old iPad that I had. This is so much better. After turning it on, I linked it to my Note 20 Ultra via Smart Switch and transferred all of my apps and passwords to the S9 Ultra. Everything worked perfectly. Set up DeX and it works very well on my personal laptop but balks on my work laptop (they are the same make, model and basic hardware setup). It's probably security protocols set up by IT, which will need to address this (even if feigning ignorance about DeX and how it works). Still, I can access the drives on the S9 Ultra to transfer files, etc. I just link via Windows.
Uses and Impressions- I bought this as an adjunct to my laptop, not as a replacement. Some technogeeks clain it wiil serve in this capacity, but after working with computers for 40+ years, I can tell you it comes close, but not quite though. It is extremely close, though. I use this for reading reports, editing and making PowerPoint presentations. This does require a mini-dock with HDMI and USB-A ports for this purpose. This setup works perfectly on the projectors and external monitors that I have used to-date.
Covers - I initially purchased the Samsung Smart Book Cover, which works perfectly. I later purchased the full Samsung Book Cover Keyboard (addressed in another review). Whether you buy the Samsung covers, or some other brand cover, you definitely need one to protect the tablet from scratches.
S-Pen - Unlike some other tablets, the S-Pen comes with the tablet and it is a joy to use. If you have any of the Samsung "phablet" phones (i.e., the Note series), you are already familiar with the S-Pen and its features. The pen that comes with S9 Ultra is just as functional. All of the features you normally see with the Note phone (including the latest S-series phones with an S-Pen) come with the tablet as well. There is no latency or delay drawing lines; pen is very responsive. Writing is smooth. I write with a light hand (I used to do cartography with Rapidograph and Faber-Castell ink pens, so I use a light touch), so the current setup works perfectly for me.
Battery - The Tab S9 Ultra has a huge battery and runs all day with a single charge under heavy use. With how I use it, I get 2 -3 days good use out of a single charge. Your mileage may vary depending on the power conservation settings you use.
Display - The display is has excellent resolution and clarity with lettering and images crisp and clean. There may be better displays out there and nitpickers may complain, but this is better than watching a 4K TV. I love watching training videos on this and working with Rosetta Stone. Everything is crisp and clear.
All in all, this is a great tablet. It is rather pricy, though and there are probably less expensive alternatives out there but not with the features and functionality this offers. Definitely recommend.

items 11: content: I've been a huge fan of Samsung devices for a very long time now. I used to get the new pixel and S series every year until I realized that those months using the Pixel were more annoying than rewarding. The features that Samsung has managed to implement on top of the Android OS with each new S series are such welcome quality of life improvements that they are truly missed whenever I wasn't using it. From quick access to my apps/folders via the edge shortcuts, to the deep customizable options for the quick settings I've fallen in love with the One UI software and haven't purchased a non-samsung device for 6 years and I haven't looked back. I travel a lot and have learned that "love" is never having to worry about my battery life while site-seeing and taking pics/vids for 12+ hours a day. The Photo capabilities of my Samsung devices are so rich and detailed that even my most ardent iPhone fanboys give up on taking photos with my while on vacation and request that I just send them whatever I capture. I'm still showing off jaw-dropping video recorded on my S9 on Mt Fuji and hearing comments like "you recorded that on this phone?!". The shock people have when they find out it was recorded 4 phones ago and I'm now recording even better vids are all I need to know that I've continued to make the right decision when I invest in my new phone every year. I love my phone and the tons of innovations you manage to deliver each year and I will remain a fan for life.
Thank you!

There s-pen that the S23 ultra has is such an amazing tool drawing and outlining cutouts for pictures are amazing and very spot on.
The ultra wide camera let me capture every moment of the marvelous sensation that the lord places in my path.
Most of my routines are always spot on and when paired with a google nest or an Alexa there are even more great features added on to my phone.
I really like the morning news on the alarm app, it let's me know what's going on without having to sit and wait for the news to air. Although I would like there to me more than a couple of informative topics.
When I am chilled and have moments to lay back and relax, I am usually on asphalt 9 legends, and the transition from gaming on a samsung Chrome laptop to my S23 ultra have been remarkable. To have the feel of a tablet without it being one is astonishing.
Although the video call features are always blocked by 3party itineraries I would like for galaxy to integrate more into a better video call service or provide features for easier connectivity.
On the note of making more connectivity; checking how much I've invested and how much more to invest has never been such an ease.
I am very happy with my device, and I would like to keep on purchasing more from Samsung.
Keep up the amazing work you are doing 👏.

items 13: content: The S9 Ultra tablet is an absolute powerhouse of a device and exceptionally well made.
Firstly, the tablet is very thin and light for it's size. The compact design makes it easier to carry around and use in various places. The portability of the tablet is especially useful if you are wanting to use this for commuting and working, or watching content on the go. It is light and compact, but also feels sturdy.
The screen is exceptionally bright and vibrant. The colours and tone are brilliant; whether that's for watching content, playing games, or for working. The sound is also powerful and can be very loud (if that is what you need). The S Pen works seamlessly and is very responsive and has pinpoint accuracy.
The tablet can also serve to function as a laptop replacement by using Samsung's Dex app/feature. It converts the tablet into a typical computer type experience. The mode itself is very responsive and has been very useful. Although it does not have the full elements of a PC type experience, it is very close and can easily become a replacement for a laptop. The Dex mode starts (and closes) instantly and brings up everything you had open. What helps with this is the keyboard case that the tablet came with, however this is not standard and was part of a bonus offer. Having the keyboard cover is vital to get the most out of the tablet, if using for work/productivity. Something to keep in mind regarding the cost. Speaking of, the Ultra version of the tablet is pricy. The keyboard not being included as standard is disappointing. However, the specs and features do beat out some of the leading competitors that have higher or similar price tags.
Samsung also have some fantastic features that enable quick share and seamless connectivity with your mobile device. You can bring up your phone screen on to the tablet with relative ease have multiple windows displayed to view the various screens on one.
Ultimately, the tablet is the best in class and very impressive. At launch, the price is quite high, but does have a host of functions and features that make it stand out from other comparable devices.

The customization abilities are so fun, changing back ground, lock screen, message background, fonts, icon looks, you can truly personalize your phone to endless possibilities. Loading from app to app or loading videos very seamless as well. Battery life is top tier as well, I've had the phone for a week and still gone down past 30% in one on a single charge. I really enjoy the fingerprint capability so much more seamless to unlock my phone especially being able to program more than one of my fingerprints; its a great security feature that also blends well with easy access for the owner of the phone. I never used to have a lock on my phone because it would feel like it took forever to get into my phone and now I can make the most of that security feature which also integrates well with other apps on my phone so that i dont have to remember passwords, I just log in with my fingerprint!! 10 out of 10 recommend this phone!

title: Vibrant display, amazing camera, helpful S-Pen
type: REVIEWS
items 15: content: The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is Samsung’s largest tablet out of its newly released S9 lineup. This tablet is aimed as a laptop replacement based on its sheer size and performance specs, while also looking at the professional market with its included S-Pen for productivity tasks. I have ample experience with computers, laptops, chromebooks, and phones but I haven’t purchased my own tablet since 2017 and then messing with my kids tablet here and there.
Using the Ultra has been interesting. I have gotten a decent grasp of some of the features – face unlock, fingerprint reader, and the S-Pen were all new to me. I’ve used it to stream Netflix, play on Xbox Gamepass XCloud, run my Google Home suite of devices, and do a little bit of art.
My experience with the S9 Ultra has been positive. I was surprised at the speed and snappiness of switching and launching new apps. Having several apps running in the background didn’t seem to slow it up at all. About the only time I could get it to push its limits was during some XCloud gaming sessions. The connection to the XCloud was seamless, and connecting my Xbox controller was no issue. I played Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and Back 4 Blood while connected to my 6E router. I had a great connection to the service and experienced really smooth gameplay. It was honestly pretty great, but if I had a bunch of apps running in the background I would experience a bit of input lag. However, if I was going for a serious gaming session I would make sure to kill any extra apps like this.
Using the S-Pen was a breeze. It magnetically connects to the black section on the backside of the tablet. It sticks to the backside with the tip facing either direction, but it sticks the best with the tip closest to the camera. This area also charges the pen while it is attached there. I did some light drawing and writing with the pen, and found it to work really well. It was accurate and responsive to my inputs. Screen tracking with the pen is well managed.
Using the tablet I have noticed a number of things to note. Due to the size and dimensions of the tablet, it can be worrying to use while walking around. I honestly live in fear of dropping the tablet while trying to use it one handed – I can’t imagine not springing for a case or cover in the very near future. The tablet dimensions are impressive to me – the size of the screen paired with the thinness is amazing in my eyes. It’s thinner than my phone for crying out loud, and I thought my phone was pretty thin. The thinness makes me think that if I add a cover/case then it still won’t be all that bulky.
Sound quality out of the system speakers was surprisingly powerful. I was thinking that it would be closer to my phone speakers, but it had a lot more kick. Sound quality was good as well. The speakers were clear even at higher volumes. Bass reproduction is lacking, but that is to be expected out of a thin tablet. Watching a movie on Netflix I was perfectly OK using the external speakers.
Overall, the S9 Ultra is an amazing tablet. The size alone is worth the look. Feature wise it has everything that I would want out of a flagship tablet – 6E WiFi, terrific front facing cameras, crisp and clear Super AMOLED screen, expandable storage capacity, and S-Pen. I would absolutely recommend a folio cover or case though. I can’t imagine going for much longer without investing in one.

items 16: content: As you'd expect (and frankly, as you'd hope for at the price!) this is a lovely tablet.
It's speedy and responsive, but where it really excels is in its beautiful, crystal clear screen. I don't think I've ever seen one quite as clear and vibrant. Zoom in on text to ridiculous levels and you'll still not see any pixelation. Needless to say, this - coupled with the size of the screen - makes the tablet perfect for streaming.
On that note, the size of the screen may actually put some people off - it makes the tablet very large and, for some, it's likely to be a bit cumbersome. But I'm personally happy with the size. It's effectively a laptop replacement and it's an awful lot less bulky than one of those.
Integration with the S Pen is great. The magnetic, charge-on-the-back holder thing is a great idea. It can separate a little too easily so you'll have to be careful around it, but as long as it's not constantly moving over other things it should be fine.
The sound is lovely too. I've heard worse actual TVs and computers. I was initially using it with my earphones (it pairs well) but (sound-quality-wise) you just don't need them: the tablet's in-built sound is great.
Battery life isn't exactly stellar for a tablet of this calibre, but neither is it rubbish. I'm getting roughly a day full of intensive use (e.g. videos) or three or four of regular but less demanding/less frequent use (e.g. browsing, reading).
I haven't got a SIM for it yet but knowing I can use it out and about without having to dip in to somewhere with WiFi is useful.
As you'd expect, it integrates really well with other Samsung products, such as my Watch5 and Flip5.
So in short, if you have the cash and want to (a) replace your laptop, (b) have a really good portable TV/streamer or (c) both of the above, the stunning screen and speedy, powerful processing make the S9 Ultra a really good choice.

The flagship
Flip and fold is a great option but those who want regular phone design with great camera features and have galaxy tab, S23 ultra is the best choice.
I did an upgrade from S22 ultra, as some might know S22 ultra had device protection feature by its software therefore could not maximise what phone was capable.
However S23 give you better cooling when you are playing high performance required games, and get every little task done little quicker than previous generation.
But also, have camera software upgrade that you "WILL" notice as a daily user!
Night video seems much more vivid and 100x zoom is always there when you want to take moon picture or take your favourite player pictures at the game.
Last but not least the pen!
If you use it even few times a year, it's doing its job!
I've used galaxy notes before it became ultra, I use it everyday as my notes, for schedule or any updates&during the call, and use to edit pictures. It gives whole new world precision to crop things out or to use AI erase feature!
It's brilliant phone that does gaming, taking pictures, run your schedule, everything what is expected from your phone without buying an extra gaming phone or more expensive phone😉
With many Android are out of market, Samsung is the best and only choice.
You will not regret it.
Sharp and modern design is a plus too!
If you want compact size there's S23, and alot of people seem to enjoying new flip and Samsung provide many custom cases and colours.

items 18: content: The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is undoubtedly the most powerful tablet on the market to date. Boasting the featured snapdragon gen 2 processor and one of the most gorgeous displays on any touch screen device, there’s no better time than now to make the leap to tablet if you’ve previously been hesitant.
Out of the box, the massive 14.6 inch screen will blow you away with its dynamic Amoled display and almost bezeless aluminum frame. Ultra-thin, ultra-responsiveness and ultra-fast animation bring this beast to life making it and all in one powerhouse. Multitasking? Check. Productivity? Check. Gaming? Check. Adequate substitute pc? Check. The s9 ultra can do it all, without breaking a sweat. Thanks to the 11,200mAh battery, you’ll have plenty of juice to get you by throughout the day. I found myself barely needing to charge after 4 hours of straight use, it would only drop about 35% with games like Call of Duty mobile and Genshin Impact. Storage is also a non-issue thanks to the built in micro sd slot, so if 256 gb isn’t enough, expand it!
Samsung has made strides to their multi app functionality and smart use of window mapping, if you’re used to their galaxy z fold series, you’ll feel right at home. However, you can do so much more with a ton of extra screen space and the s pen, as it ships in box without an additional purchase. Before, I thought of the s pen as a gimmick to the note series, but now I can see myself using it with the tab s9 as a true accessory. Drawing, taking notes, conferencing, navigation, you name it. In case you haven’t updated to the latest operating system on your mobile device, the tab s9 features Android 13 straight away.
For those pc enthusiasts, if you haven’t tried Samsung Dex, you really should. Dex will take your tablet to the next level making it a true desktop alternative, whether you choose to combine it with keyboard and mouse or not, though that would definitely enhance the experience.
The AKG speakers sound incredible, featuring Dolby Atmos surround sound. I’ve been impressed by Samsung’s sound quality for years but the default audio profile here is superb. Nothing feels muddled or washed out, even at higher volumes, where you’d usually get a crunchy tone, here it’s just enjoyable at all ranges.
Lastly, some general advice for those interested in delving into the tablet market, do yourselves a favor and buy a screen protector and case for this bad boy. It’s too pretty to get scratched or damaged. Yes, it’s an investment, but worth it. Five stars isn’t enough, id give it a solid 10 if I could. Samsung pushed the bar once again bridging the gap between portable and performance.

items 19: content: I use my S23 Ultra for streaming, movies, reading, navigating, photography, communications, work, banking and for fun!
I am a hobby photographer and I find myself using my S23 Ultra instead of bringing all my camera gear everywhere. Photos are crisp and crystal clear- I can zoom to infinity and it's never pixelated which I love!
I find with everything going on I need to be able to write things down quickly, sketch the big ideas... annotate images, graphs and drawings and the s-pen stylus allows me to do this seamlessly before I forget.
I can quickly pay a bill as soon as I remember to do so and then switch over to Google maps to navigate a new area that I'm exploring or trying to find.
While on my commute, I can read books on the kindle app easily due to the large screen size and listen to music on YouTube with my Galaxy Buds live. If I start to power walk, my S watch automatically picks up my increased activity and everything syncs to my S23 Ultra. If I'm in a location where it's not so safe to have my device out, I can take a call or control the phone from my watch.
I am connected. Battery lasts forever even with my excessive usage and with the large memory capacity, there are no glitches, no crashes. I absolutely love it!
I have been a devotee of the note series since the note 2 in 2012 and was worried when the series was discontinued. With the S23 Ultra, I have peace of mind- the same functionality and productivity I had from my last note, but on steroids!
