I really think phone companies need to start releasing their products every 2 years instead of every year.

Your unboxing is longer, more informative and more in depth then most people's reviews, hats off. This is what I subscribed for years ago, and you just never disappoint.

When it comes to Cell phones, and earbuds the only reviewers I trust are you Flossy Carter, Mrwhosetheboss, and ElJefe. You three are the only ones who don't sugar coat things, and I truly appreciate it. Keep doing your thing, so I continue to know what to get.

As an iPhone user, I usually wait several years before upgrading. Last year was a bit different because I liked what Apple was offering with the 14 Pro. I went from a 12 PM to a 14 PM. That’ll probably be the last time I upgrade so soon. Anyways, that green on the S23 looks legit.

Always like watching Flossy's reviews. Straight to the point, informative, and focuses on the important changes. My Note 10+ been holding strong for the last 3-4 years 💪Time for an upgrade 😁

Great video as always… but the thing most people forget is that not everyone is on the same upgrade cycle!! This will be a brand new phone for a lot of people!!

Man, it's hard to believe the first Floss video I ever watched was his Galaxy S3 real review back in 2012. It was such a funny and informative video that I subbed right then and there. 11 years and countless Galaxies later and I'm still rockin' with his channel and haven't missed a single upload. Salute.

I barely had enough time to pre-order mine (at a massive discount for the 512gb version, heads up for those who may be on the fence about it) and Floss is already here with an unboxing and first impressions video. This lad doesn't stop.

Gotta love the small details they added. The sides are slightly flatter so it's easier to hold them prev gen and the pen is black but the ends match the colour of the phone colour you choose. Cream colour being gold, however. 😍 Highly contemplating getting this as it would be a massive upgrade for me, coming from using the last "note" line, note 10 plus.

In a way I'm glad it's s similar because I love my S22 Ultra and I don't have any FOMO not upgrading, but at the same time I kind of miss the days when new phone announcements were really exciting. Like if your friend got the new model you would wanna spend some time checking it out, seeing all the new features. Now it's like, I probably wouldn't even ask them to let me hold it lol. My gf got an iphone 14 pro and I felt like I got the gist of everything that separates it from every iphone since the iphone 11 in less than a minute.

The most thorough and complete unboxing video! A+
Disappointed in the trade-in values this year. This will be the first time I've skipped pre-ordering a Samsung flagship. Was hoping to upgrade my S22U for better battery life.

Flossy always providing us with the most fire tech reviews.

Damn!!! No one does it better. The ultimate galaxy unpacked with Floss ❤️

The king is back to show us the ultra gangster. Im still on an iPhone 13 Pro but im tempted to go back to android for a couple years with this, if I do im definitely rocking the Cream colour, looks awesome, Much love from the UK Floss ✌🏻

It's the beginning of my annual phone upgrade process. Watch Flossy's take on the new phone and cases. It's great to get the real scoop from the experts. I really enjoy your videos! Say hi to Shoes!

Yo Floss! Love your reviews, your videos are always my go to when I'm interested in purchasing new tech, just curious what are your daily drivers when you're not reviewing? Samsung or iPhone?

I get the approach they're taking with this phone but they really could've done more when it comes to battery capacity, charging speed and adding more features. Cheaper phones are more competitive than ever.

You know us too well 😄 I was rocking my S10 and swore up and down I would use it until the wheels came off, because the phone was still doing it's job well, but the overall goodness of Galactus 2.0 and the camera changed my mind, lol. Plus, there're some really good deals going on. I was able to get $500 off without a trade in from my carrier.
Because it's still Samsung, it's like using my S10, but everything is just plain better. Even the little stuff like NFC at the store. My S10 would struggle at some spots, but the Ultra handles everything like a champ. Love it!

We've all been waiting for this one.
It's time for the unbiased S23 Ultra impressions.
You know where it's at!

I have an s22 ultra and honestly have no intention of upgrading this year, but aside from the cameras the storage was the only thing I was wondering about as far as speeds, ufs 3.x vs ufs 4.0. Supposedly double the speed but guess I'll wait for the review to hear your thoughts.

I think this green will pair nice with my green 13 pro max.
I peeped the exclusive colors this year for the 23 Ultra, and red actually looks red this time. Can’t wait for the Snyder Cut.

Sweet phone! Great presentation as usual! I've been using the Note series, since back in the day...(first one that they came out with!), so I would love to see the productivity capabilites highlighted, if you wouldn't mind. Also, much love out to your boss...Shoes...Me to tha Ow! Meow!😘🐾🥂

I like how they made the edges of the frame more flat. It's not as round as the S22 Ultra. The display still has a curve, but it's more thumb real estate

I appreciate your reviews. I have the Samsung 22 Ultra 5 gangsta and was considering upgrading. But after looking at the options and just a camera upgrade...I'll watch another year or so for the next refresh. Thanks Floss! You a Boss good sir!!!

The unboxing I was waiting all day for

Crazy how tech has evolved. From the days about you talking about AOKP on the Galaxy Nexus and now the S23. Time flies!

The snapdragon 8 gen2 made for galaxy is an overclocked version exclusive to Galaxy so right now it's pretty much the best performing Android flagship and it's really efficient just 10 minutes short of the iPhone on battery test in QuadHD mode which is insane considering the difference last gen

I always love your reviews Flossy, and it's always such nostalgia as you review each device with your furry fur baby. Keep the videos coming!😊

Love all your vids! I pre-ordered this and am patiently waiting for these to ship. Looking forward to your Snyder's cut review on it. Quick question: I have a fast charging block from my S10, should I order a new block to be more fast and efficient? If so what watt/ brand do you recommend?

Just swapped my iPhone 13 pro max for the S23 Ultra... finally getting the snapdragon processor here in the UK was one of the key reasons for finally taking the plunge into android.

Floss the final boss of all the S23 videos.
The real review will be the finisher.

Flossy never disappoints. Your reviews always make me laugh bro!

I didn’t even realize this was out but I am glad I remembered Flossy cause I know his reviews are on point and honest! Shout out to white shoes too

I just received my S23 Ultra today (2/15), and I'm like a kid in a candy store! The last phone I had was the S8 plus! It lasted for a few years. Then I went to the S10 plus, and now this model!
I'm definitely loving it so far, Bixby and the S pen, are great features!
I'm not using it exclusively yet until my phone case comes in. Not sure why a phone with this price point doesn't come with a charger, and phone case as they did once upon a time.
I'll definitely be keeping this phone for a few years as always! No complaints at all!

Thanks for your comments. It's very helpful. I'm upgrading from a Samsung s20fe, so I'll definitely see the difference. Looks like I made a good choice (plus getting a nice amount back for turning in my phone).

I have the s21 ultra and tested my camera with the zflip 4 and s23 ultra. Imo, the front lense on the s21 is far more detailed and crisp. Not a huge difference on the back lenses. The zflip was slightly more blurred around the 10x zooming range. I may just keep my s21 ultra 1 more year. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Awesome quick unboxing floss. I did order my s23 ultra. I wasn’t as happy with the trade in value and pre order goodies this year but I can’t complain too much because I got my s22 ultra 512 gb for 300 a bunch of others goodies with it. This year I paid 647 for the s23 ultra with the “free storage “ upgrade to the 512gb. I already ordered the Samsung leather case, spigen zero one edition case and , black esr kickstand case, esr lens protector and pack of two white stone dome tempered glass. I ordered the same cases for my iPhone 14pm as well. But it’s that time of year to be a Samsung knight again and put my apple sheep back to sleep.

100% passing on this upgrade...I scoured YT for videos a week ago trying to figure out what the S23 Ultra was and was like all I see is the 23U I already have, until I realized it was the same phone 😄...I remain a Samsung Galaxy fanboy but I can't join the circus lol...Floss, as always, entertaining, informative and raw 🫡

Anytime I’m looking for a review flossy is the first place I check on Clip-Share thanks for all the detailed videos

This phone is awesome. I would have been getting it, but I decided to opt for the Google Pixel 7 Pro 512G late last year and love it. For certain reasons, have both that, and my S21 Ultra as my EDC to multitask certain things. The NiteIze belt clip holders I have been using for years makes it easy.
I still like my S21 Ultra, and it's holding up fine. I like the camera lens aesthetics better that the S22/S23 Ultra but they are nice and have a cleaner look.
The S23 Ultra would have been fine if I didn't get my Pixel 7 Pro, but I don't really need all those things, and probably saved several hundred dollars over getting a 513G/1T one. I still am totally satisfied with my S21 Ultra. I still have lots of the basic features, just not souped up as much. The Pixel 7 Pro works for me with my S21 Ultra.
Great phone. Maybe I will get next year's model and put my S21 Ultra as a backup then.
Great unboxing, and preview. This is the phone to get if you want the best, mainstream Android with all the support and available cases and such.

Question: The accessories always take years to show up. Can you use the cases and screen protectors from the s22 ultra series on the s23 ultra series?

there is no reviewer on Flossy's level in terms of depth. He covers Everything! the man knows no quit!

Man I can't wait for this review, Floss always hits all the real world uses. Whether for review or not, try getting some night time sky/star pics, it's fun to see what the expert raw does vs what their night mode setting can do

At first the no headphone jack killed me but after watching your review on the Google pixel buds I snagged those and its been great ever since. Just use one bud at a time

My absolute favourite tech reviewer. I watch simply for the entertainment value. Brilliant

Nice, detailed unboxing, and I'm looking very much forward to the Real Review of the s23 Ultra!
I've been a subscriber for years and your reviews are simply the best: lots of honesty, lots of depth and lots of fun ✅✅✅
It feels less like a review and more like having a super tech-savvy friend helping you out with everything you need to know about a device 😀👍

Quick and informative. Always great content! 👍🏾

Back in August I decided to wait for the s23 Ultra before I upgraded my Note20 Ultra... I'm glad I waited 😁. I love my s23 Ultra.

Not only do I need a first impression. But I also need a Real Review from the one and only.

More hardcore than usual photo & video testing when you get your own s23 U would be a good idea Floss, cheers!

That cat is a movie star! Great unboxing and fun video. Got mine on preorder!

I am a note 10+ user of 3 years and this video actually inspired me to buy a note 9 believe it or not. I am actually getting really annoyed with the removal of features from newer phones. I want a headphone jack, expandable storage. I got a decent deal for a brand new one so I'm looking forward to it

Not one for sycophancy but Flossy is sick and I fancy his videos. This mean is THE go to for this stuff. Best thing is, he's always back with another video.

I can’t wait for the real review Floss. Since I’m coming from a Note 20 Ultra that’s starting to give me fits, I already place my preorder for the S23 Ultra. I can’t wait for the 17th and rock Galactus 2.0 for myself.

This might be the most iterative update Samsung has made. Obviously the design team is happy with the design of the S22 series and it shows here, I have no complaints with the design. Next year they need to go ahead and flatten the display fully, no more curved screens please Samsung.

I'm thinking about upgrading from note 20 ultra. It's been a great phone but my battery has definitely degraded. Att has a pretty decent trade in offer. It's tempting. Don't need it but I want it.

Flossy you are awesome, even if I don't understand, yet, all this tech info you are teaching us! I love your giggles while explaining and then my tears when I pick up my terrible Moto TMobile phone. I have only had it one year and I can't wait to take it back but 1200.00 is out of my range and don't know if anything is better. Thanks so much.

Yoo Floss. Quick Q. Would you upgrade from $22 Ultra to $23? I've been rocking my $22 Ultra soonest they came out. It's not about JJJ's coz. I can buy a new one. Is it worth it, or should we wait for $24 or even $25? What's your opinion? Looking forward to your yELLO. ✌️

I'll be interested in the 23 Ultra video stabilization. If this can replace my gimbal, my travel will be a lot lighter

The one and only reviewer I come too whenever I need information about a tech product not only that but I be watching your videos day in day out and never get tired of watching your reviews

Here's the problem I have with it. The trade-in values at Samsung suck this year. According to the pre-order page, they would only give me $500 for my S22 Ultra 256GB. On Swappa, they're selling similar devices for $750. If that isn't a rip-off, I don't know what is, and for a very minimal upgrade, it makes this deal more like a downgrade. I ain't buying.

I am legit amazed at how good it sounds when you just jack all the EQ settings to max. What the hell this sounds SO much better

Great review as usual Flossy strange question how strong is the call and text vibration I missed a lot of call and texts with the S22U

I think the major difference are the cameras. Will be interesting to see your comparison. Others have said they have major improvements.

Reserved my ultra yesterday. Disappointed not to get expandable storage but atleast they had a 1TB option.

Great video, Floss! I think I'm going to keep my S22 Ultra and upgrade at the S24 Ultra. Also, I love my burgundy color. There is not much of a difference for that price for me to upgrade. I do need to upgrade my galaxy watch 3, though. :) And hello, white shoes!!!

So glad I waited to get this instead of the s22 Ultra (currently have the s21 Ultra. As important as specs are, I always need a physical change-up when upgrading to fully feel like I'm getting a "new experience". Also, that green color is FUEGO 🔥. This is coming from someone who lives and breathes all black everything!
Watching Floss' vids on phones just hits different. I'm at peace when I see faux wood table and white shoes walking around. It just feels more "real". No fancy effects, just Floss doing his thing 🙌🏾. Been watching for years.
Big up From Toronto Floss 👊🏾

Android/Samsung phones are kind of an odd thing for me. I used to me an Android guy, and I loved using widgets and having so many options for customization. I really appreciate the way having so many different products competing for the Android market helps to drive features and innovation. Apple doesn’t have that same market pressure, so they’re not as pressed to bring new features to their phones.
It really kind of goes against what I would expect my instincts to be, but despite Android, and Samsung in particular having lots of interesting phones I think I would enjoy playing with, I am more than content with my iPhone. I do have my hands on Android phones pretty often in the course of my work, but they kind of irritate me in use for the most part. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Great content as always. Do they use the same case s22 ultra vs s23 ultra?

Great unboxing I used to upgrade everytime Samsung came out with a new model but stopped at the NOTE 10 + my glow still flawless

I upgraded from my old S10 5G and I love the S23 so far. I change phones every 3 years. No point in annual upgrades in my opinion. The improvements are way too minimal.

There are differences but they are subtle. Camera in low light takes slightly clearer pictures in s23 ultra but rest is pretty much the same. The new chip makes the s23!ultra about 10% faster than s22 ultra. Otherwise it’s the same device

Always trust in Floss for yet another great and unbiased review! Got my popcorn ready for the real review on the 17th

Actually, I wanted to wait a bit longer, but I have now pre-ordered the S23U and will trade in my S21U for it. The trade-in offer was quite attractive - and I'm just a bit crazy about such gadgets.

I have the Note 20 Ultra, but I am loving this phone too. Do you think it's that big of a difference in the 2 devices to make the jump?

Gosh, I still have my S10 (it has the most amazing battery life, TO THIS DAY). I do love the features on the S23, like the pen. I'll wait until your full review, especially on the battery life.

Hey Floss long time fan you and Shoes are the best anyway Samsung is giving loyal customers the business with the unlocked trade in deal i moved up to the Big Boy phones thanks to you after watching your review on the Galaxy s20 ultra i traded up for the Ultra 21 and the ultra 22 and had planned on doing the same for the 23 but the trade in makes it not worth it to me i guess i will wait to see what happens to see if the deal gets better if not Galaxy S22 is where i will stay.

The only place to get a real review. Unboxings are better than most reviews on youtube. Can't wait until you get your review unit.

I love how the cat always wants to be near the tech 😂

Always the best first impressions and reviews!

Floss I went on ahead and went for the Pre-order for Galactus 2.0 in that Red(Rust Orange) my S21Ultra AOS Thanos Edition has served me well but there some new things on Galactus that has me hyped. Hope the S-pen matches like your S22 Ultra did. Heard the speakers got a serious upgrade especially with that BASS we'll see. Looking forward to your Snyder cut of Galactus 2.0.

Great unboxing and initial thoughts as always Floss. Was wondering if you're going to do a review on the new Galaxy Book 3 Ultra/ Pro 360?

Hey Floss, since you have both phones, will you compare the battery life between phones when you do your review?

Thanks for keeping it real unlike alot of other big reviewers who have.. Or at least appear to have let sponsorships and paid reviews taint their work and most of them just seem fake now and like it's just business to them which is sad cause I used to like a lot of them .. Even if you are paid too.. You at least still keep it real.. Lol and seem like you actually enjoy doing it.. So thank you..

The realist reviewer on Clip-Share. When Floss speaks...I'm tuned in and ready to make a purchase

Upgraded camera, processor, GPU, speakers, screen...yes, same body but totally different beast inside! My first year to year upgrade in a while but this is a total makeover so I can justify it

Looks dope. I don't know if I should upgrade to the 23 now or wait for the 24. I have the 21 ultra

I preordered the absolute top of the line ultra in red. $1750 out the door! Damn expensive, but based on the galaxy unboxing event, will be an epic phone/camera for my new Clip-Share content.!

Awesome video! I have my s23 ultra coming in next week. I'm still rocking the s20 ultra so it's going to be a nice upgrade.

I really like the color of this galaxy 23 ultra. I think galaxy makes better looking smartphones and I prefer the curved displays over the flat ones that the iphone has BUT I have an iphone 13 pro because the OS is just superior and much smoother to me. The perfect phone for me would be the ios operating system with a galaxy shell

I'm sticking with my S22 ultra. I can't find a legit reason to upgrade. All these other Clip-Sharers are acting like this phone is a huge jump 🦘 from the S22. I come here because you keep it 💯.

That audible frustration from Floss when he opens the contents of the box 😂

New sub.
Binging various 23 ultra reviews since I'm thinking about upgrading from g note9 so it's been a fair few years.
I cannot live without the dumb s-pen
Anyway even though I upgrade rarely n get the flagship I still love tech reviews, good to stay in touch in case a friend is thinking about buying something.
AND
I must say you are one cool man! I can't, the cat was just chilling and it was totally fine by you n that's the normalcy I need!

I have a S21Ultra interested to see if the battery life and camera truly are any better this year. Not that impressed with the Samsung Trade In value this year in this economy but it is what it is. I'll wait for the real world Snyder cut review. Gotta know if the S23Ultra is gonna last through a concert filming etc 🤣

Here in the UK on EE I can upgrade the Ultra every year for free.. Just upgraded to the green Samsung s23 ultra 512GB also comes with buds pro 2 free on promotional deal... The package also. Comes with free roaming, Netflix and bt sport.. Taking delivery of the phone today looking forward to it.. Thanks for quick review love all your reviews 👌

How much did the battery improve from the 22U? I was pretty upset about the poor hours I got out of it.

As a S22 Ultra owner I like the S23 Ultra, but I don't need it, but want it. Unfortunately, horrible trade-in deals and offers at the moment.

Flossy or anyone, let me ask someone. If you're coming from the s20 ultra with the 100x Zoom, would this be worth the upgrade? I'm not gonna lie. This is the first time I'm feeling iffy about and upgrade but I ordered this simply because that let me trade my galaxy note 3 (yes I said note 3) for a $1000 credit towards this new 23 ultra so I call myself getting this while the deal was good but should would this even be a upgrade coming from the s20 really?

A real review doesn't count if it's ain't done by Floss! 🤜
