Yep it's the smoothest device out imo. Even moreso than my trusty pixel 7 Pro. Not gonna lie though I find myself reaching for that damn pixel and have to restrain myself 😂
Just saw this on twitter, checked my unit and sure enough mine is affected. I don't think its anything to worry about but will keep an eye on it.
I got mine today, unlocked version. Everything is up and running with T-mobile sim with all my app's from the s22.
After using my S23 Ultra for 2 days and then deciding to travel with just my IPhone 14 Pro Max for a day, I’ve decided that it’s time to move on from Apple. Can’t wait to put my main e-sim in the Ultra. Going to sell my Apple Watch Ultra and stop using watches. They’re just annoying and gave me more connected than I’d like. My MacBook Air just connects dust. That’s going too. My work Lenovo laptop will be just fine.
Wow! I didn't see that one coming. At least not that fast. I can't part with my AW Ultra so the 14 PM will stay, without sim, and perhaps be my last iphone. I do love my MacBook Air M2 but here lately it just collects dust. I basically use it as an overpriced AirMessage server to get iMessage on my Android devices. I'm usually carrying my Tab S8 ultra with me alongside either my Pixel 7 Pro or now my S23. The Apple Watch is just too integral a part of my morning jogs and fitness tracking. Glad you are like the S23 Ultra. It's a fantastic device.
Right off the bat, Android Auto connects so much faster and more reliably than CarPlay. With my 14 Pro on the last few stable firmware versions, it was to thr point where I had to unplug and re-plug the cable in several times before it would realize what was happening.
I am still trying to get the hang of using the infotainment wheel, only, but it's not a big issue. Cool walk is so much better than the old Android Auto.
Your trip would be the perfect time to leave your comfort zone and dive into the Samsung. You iOS guys!
I did the same a long time ago, i still use my Macbook Air as i hate windows for anything but a HTPC server. I have a Samsung Gear S3 classic watch which is nice and will soon be replaced with my Free Galaxy Watch 5 that came with my S23U as part of a promotion. I just found IOS and Apple way too restrictive, of course you lose some of the seamless ecosystem advantages but you gain so much control, freedom and most importantly choice when buying.
Wow didn't expect that.
ultra is a great phone and certainly one that is a do it all device.
Do you mind me asking what Widget your using there for the day, date and weather?
No problem... it's the standard, Google "at a glance" widget.
Wow you must be really impressed with the S23 Ultra, I'm glad that people seem to be loving it so far, although it does make me wish mine was here already
love it..... smooth graduations in the sky colours, really sharp and plenty of detail in the foreground. I really do love the camera system
Cheers,
Have added it but no matter what I do I can't get it to display the weather on it. Only Day, Date showing up for me
Have you got location tracking turned on? I had that issue with my S22 Ultra and later found out I needed to have my location on.
Ive watched that video about a hundred times and still dont see it :/ what am I looking for
Yes Location is turned on alright ?
Sorted now. Turned Location off for Google, then back on. Sorted it. Cheers lads.
I've done it in the UK with zero problems but we do have consumer laws over here which means we have a basic right to return stuff within a certain time period even if we just change our minds.
...but yeah, samsung were brilliant tbh
ps. sounds like you're really not getting on with the screen then
