The S23 Ultra is also a seriously fast phone, thanks to the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip, and this is the best phone for gaming I've tested yet. But the iPhone still falls behind on zoom power. ![]() In some cases the S23 Ultra delivered better looking photos than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, though Apple won other rounds.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: S Penīased on my testing I'd say the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is the best Android phone you can buy period, and it makes a very strong case for being the best phone overall. On our charing test, the S23 Ultra reached 57% in 30 minutes, which is below Samsung's claim of 65%. After half-an-hour, the OnePlus 11 was nearly completely charged, so yes, the faster charging speed does matter. We'd like to see it go higher, as the OnePlus 11 that shipped just after the S23 Ultra features 80W charging in the U.S. Unfortunately, Samsung is sticking with the same 45W fast charger for the S23 Ultra. The previous Galaxy S22 Ultra lasted only 10 hours and 18 minutes in the Tom's Guide battery test, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max endured for an even longer 13:39.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra has a new 12MP front camera, which is technically a downgrade versus the S22 Ultra's 40MP selfie shooter, but Samsung promises better portraits overall thanks to better AI along with a compelling Night portrait mode.

And there's an eye comfort feature to make viewing the display easier. The Galaxy S23 Ultra also includes an advanced Vision Booster feature, which is designed to let you adjust color and contrast of the image to ambient lighting conditions. The Galaxy S23 Ultra's screen delivers more colors, hitting 112% of the DCI-P3 color gamut in Natural mode, compared to 83% for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.īoth panels are also highly color accurate, with the S23 Ultra registering 0.3 on the Delta-E Test where lower numbers are better in Natural mode and 0 in Vivid mode.
