The Galaxy S23 Ultra can't quite keep up with its successor in terms of battery and display. However, it is cheaper and still offers a stylish package with a huge display and top performance. The 200-megapixel main camera is impressive. The tenx telephoto lens scores particularly well for distant subjects. Here too, the S Pen is located at the bottom of the housing.

      The Samsung S23 Ultra achieves a high overall score in the JPEG test and climbs to the level of "very good". In total, the main camera alone is even "outstanding". It is not the maximum resolution of 200 megapixels that achieves the top result, but the 50 MP images. They are also superior to the 12 MP JPEGs in all lighting situations...
