Galaxy S23 Ultra gets another limited-time free storage upgrade
Samsung brought back its free storage upgrade deals as a bonus for Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip ...
Phantom black only by the looks of things.
Finally! With OneUI 5.1.1 coming soon and this OneUI 6.0 in a few months has me all excited about owning a Galaxy Phone.
Even though this seems minor... but I use the Pop-Up window often, looking forward to testing this.
Beta is available in the Member's app
From watching a few reviews about One UI 6, it seems the new toggles section messes up one handed usage. Can you confirm?
well...it is still in beta. But I have not noticed that
What I mean is, does the toggle panel come down at thumbs reach like this (after you swipe down twice).....
Or does it stick to the top like pictured here?
so my watch arrived but not straps, apparently gotta go online via samsung members and apply for the free straps, was it the same for you guys? bummer because there arent any watch. straps for sale in any store. minimum 2 weeks wait time, i dont want to go to the gym with the leather ones thus i cant use the watch, thanks samsung :/
So, I have long since sold my S23 Ultra. I won’t bore any of you with the details other than saying I really don’t like One UI. For me personally (remember this) it’s messy, a little ugly and it’s full of features that I don’t use / am not interested in. However, the One UI 6 piqued my interest… Grabbed the small S23 today. One UI 6 + Android 14 is installing now. Anyone have any questions or things you’d like to see?
I have had S23U for about a month now, but the longer I have it, the more I want back to IPhone, I can't even pinpoint a specific reason, other than iOS.. I just miss the colors, the feel of it and the whole esthetics..
So I am thinking of switching but I am worried I would regret it later, even though I am not using the S pen at all, and that the camera is better on the S23U..
What should I do?

I honestly haven't experienced this at all on my S23U. It's been lag- and stutter-free since day one.
Thanks, happy to hear that. So I might pull the trigger this week on the S23 Ultra, we'll see ...
Worst case if I hate it, I'll get the Pixel 8 Pro in Oct.
If I do the switch, probably Best Buy, as they have the S23 Ultra down to $949 fir the 256GB 12GB version, and offering $800 trade-in for my Pixel 7 Pro.
So if that deal is still active this week, might do it.
Oh nice
The only thing I was thinking was if you wanted to test drive it for a couple of weeks I think Best buy lets you try for 14 days and if you return it before the 14th day you only pay $45 restocking fee used to be but if you're trading in the pixel phone then that would not help in this situation..I’d probably keep the S23 Ultra if you’re just missing aesthetics. It sounds like you’re still appreciating the practical features of the s23 Ultra. At least keep it until the new iPhones are out and you can upgrade the camera from what is currently available on iPhones.

Oh I did not know that? I can test drive it before trading in my Pixel 7 Pro? Best Buy will give me 2 weeks?
Sorry, didn’t mean to confuse things, but only if you’re buying the phone not if trade in because they will take your phone on sale this way ..I meant if you wanted to try the phone out solo without trade-in
Thanks, makes sense.
So I can purchase the S23 Ultra myself at Best Buy, and just hold onto the receipt and everything I get, and would have 14 days to return it.
Or if I want to do the trade-in with my Pixel 7 Pro, that has to happen at the same time I get the S23 Ultra, and no return option really?
In my opinion if you’re down with spending the extra $45, I would just go to BestBuy and buy the phone. I’m not sure if you have a BB card just throw it on the card or any other credit card …test drive the phone for 13 days and then decide..if you don’t like it okay it cost you $45 …if you like it return the phone and buy it again with trade in…
I do have BB card, haven't touched since last year. So might be best to go that route.
