Maybe not much has changed at first glance, but it's still a big upgrade. Looking at the specs Galaxy The S23 Ultra is clearly a king Android phones, but what if you own Galaxy S22 Ultra? Does it make sense for you to deal with the transition?
Then of course there's the other thing about maybe you own an even older device and you're thinking of buying a new Ultra. The whole series Galaxy S22 will surely know about certain discounts that might appeal to you. So here you will find a complete comparison Galaxy S23 Ultra vs. Galaxy S22 Ultra so that you have a clear understanding of how they differ and whether you are able to pass up the new features in favor of the older model.

Design and construction
Like eggs, only with the difference that some of them are colored. Both have frames made of armored aluminum, so it is true that the S22 Ultra uses Gorilla Glass Victus, while the S23 has Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Samsung has also straightened the display a bit with the new one and has larger camera lenses, but these are almost invisible differences. The differences in physical dimensions and weight are negligible.
- Dimensions Galaxy S22Ultra: 77,9 x 163,3 x 8,9mm, 229g
- Dimensions Galaxy S23Ultra: 78,1 x 163,4 x 8,9mm, 234g
Software and performance
Galaxy The S22 Ultra currently runs on Androidu 13 and One UI 5.0, while the S23 Ultra comes with One UI 5.1. This includes several improvements, including a battery widget, a redesigned media player that matches the regular one Androidat 13 and others. Based on previous years and the fact that Samsung has been testing One UI 5.1 on the S22 series for several months now, we should see the update soon for the S22 and other older phones as well.

Performance will be one of the main reasons for the upgrade. Exynos 2200 in line Galaxy The S22 has some thermal issues and also suffers from power loss. This is one of the points where the novelty pays off the most. It has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 For Galaxy from Qualcomm worldwide. Of course, both models do not lack the S Pen. The S22 Ultra is available in 8/128GB, 12/256GB, 12/512GB and limited 12GB/1TB variants and the S23 Ultra is available in 8/256GB, 12/512GB and 12GB/1 TB. It's nice that Samsung increased the base storage to 256GB this year, but it's a shame that this version only has 8GB of RAM.

Batteries and charging
It makes no difference. The battery is 5mAh and can be charged wirelessly at 000W and wired up to 15W. Both phones can also share power via reverse wireless charging at up to 45W. We can't say much about the S4,5 Ultra's battery life yet, but we expect that the better efficiency of the Snapdragon 23 Gen 8 will lead to slightly better battery life than the Exynos in the S2 Ultra.

Display
The displays are basically the same. Both use 6,8-inch 1440p panels that max out at 1 nits and have refresh rates between 750 and 1Hz. One of the significant differences is the curvature of the display, which was in the model Galaxy S23 Ultra modified so the device is better to hold, control and should be more friendly to covers.

Cameras
Galaxy The S22 Ultra has a 40MP selfie camera with automatic focus, a 108MP main camera, two 10MP telephoto lenses with 3x and 10x zoom and, of course, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens that can also do macro mode. Galaxy The S23 Ultra offers an identical lineup with two exceptions. The front camera now has a brand new 12MPx sensor with autofocus. The lower MPx count may seem like a downgrade on paper, but the sensor was supposed to take bigger and better photos, especially in low light.

The primary sensor has been upgraded from 108 to 200 MPx. Bigger numbers don't always mean better performance. But this sensor has been eagerly awaited and hopefully Samsung has spent enough time fine-tuning it. Galaxy The S22 Ultra suffers from shutter lag and overfocusing, so we believe Samsung has fixed both of these things in the S23.

Should you upgrade?
Galaxy The S22 Ultra is a great phone that only suffers from the used chip. It already delivers excellent photographic results, and the 200MPx may not be a strong argument for switching here, which can also be said for the front 12MPx camera. The other news are pleasant, but certainly not essential for the upgrade. It could be said that everything here depends on the used chip - if you have problems with the Exynos 2200, the novelty will solve them, if not, you can forgive the transition with a calm heart.

If you are not switching but are considering a purchase, it is worth considering the issue of the chip. Both devices are high-end and very similar, so if you want to save money and don't plan to get the most out of the device, you will certainly be satisfied with last year's model.
I've had the SG 23 Ultra phone for a week, so I've mastered it comprehensively, I've only learned how to take photos in wide-angle mode, as they say in the "wide" reviews. But how to turn it on? There's only zoom, that's zoom, but which is the wide angle lens and how do you turn it on?
Thank you for the info. Víťa Kulíšek and have a nice day ☕️
