The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has a pair of stereo speakers powered by Dolby Atmos.

The built-in digital stylus adds novel experiences, especially with regard to tasks aligned with creativity and productivity, on top of regulars.Ĭomplementing the visual experience is the audio performance. There are smartphones with as good screens, but Samsung maximises the utility of the screen by including SPen to the mix. It is a colour-rich panel with ample brightness for good sunlight legibility. Starting with the screen, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a 6.8-inch HDR10+ certified dynamic AMOLED 2x panel of 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. Like the design, the upgrades in audio-visual are nuanced but geared toward experience. Besides, the phone is IP68 rated for protection against water and dust. The Galaxy S23 Ultra boasts Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on the front and back that should make it a little more resilient in the face of accidental drops and every day abuses. Topping the refined aesthetics are the seasonal upgrades in the construction material for sturdiness and durability. It looks flat, without adding to the bezels, and feels natural to use with gesture navigation. The seemingly flatten frame is the result of a new edge-to-edge screen, which has subtle curvature on the sides compared to the predecessor. Its aluminium frame, for example, has less curvature on the sides for improved in-hand feel. Starting with design, the Galaxy S23 Ultra inherits the form factor of the predecessor but with added fineness in the aesthetics. Successor to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the smartphone brings upgrades that may not reflect as big on paper but result in evolved experience. Case in point is the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. There is no clear definition for ultra-smartphones, but Samsung has one in its line if it means maxed-out experience.
