Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Design and Build

The S23 Ultra has a stunning design that will turn heads. The phone’s back features a massive camera bump with four cameras and an LED flash. The camera bump is large, but it doesn’t feel overwhelming. It blends seamlessly into the phone’s overall design, giving it a sleek and modern look.

The phone has a flat display with a slight curve, making it comfortable to use with the S Pen. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is built to be tougher, with Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which promises to protect the front and back from scratches and drops. The phone comes in four colors: Phantom Black, Green, Cream, and Lavender. The green and lavender colors are stunning, and they do a great job of resisting fingerprints.

The S23 Ultra features a SIM card slot, unlike the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is located on the bottom of the device. The phone is also eco-friendly, with Samsung using recycled materials for various parts of the phone, including recycled discarded fishing nets for the S Pen inner cover and bottom speaker module.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra features a 6.8-inch QHD OLED screen with a resolution of 3088 x 1400 pixels and a rated peak brightness of 1,750 nits. The display is the same as the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and it has the same 120Hz refresh rate. The overall image quality from the S23 Ultra’s panel is impressive, with excellent color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and high brightness. Even in direct sunlight, the display is easy to see.

The S23 Ultra also includes an advanced Vision Booster feature, which allows you to adjust the color and contrast of the image to ambient lighting conditions. There’s also an eye comfort feature to make viewing the display easier.

The periscope camera can zoom in up to 10x without any loss of detail, making it perfect for long-distance shots. The 3D Time-of-Flight sensor helps with depth sensing and portrait shots, creating a more natural-looking bokeh effect.

The camera also has a plethora of features and modes, including Director’s View, which allows you to preview and switch between all four cameras while recording a video. The phone also has a Pro mode that gives you full control over the camera’s settings, including ISO, shutter speed, and white balance.
