Reason #1. Compact device in the world of large smartphones

Very often people ask me whymanufacturers do not produce compact smartphones that have flagship-level performance, but are small enough to fit in a child's hand or sink in an adult's hand.

The dimensions of the Galaxy S23 are 146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6 mm, in comparison, the dimensions of the S23 Ultra are 163.4 x 78.1 x 8.9 mm. Completely different devices.

Reason number 2. Water protection

The device is IP68 water resistant.which distinguishes it from most Chinese smartphones. This parameter is important for those who often visit the water - pool, sea, river. The chances of saving a smartphone when falling into water are maximum here.

Reason number 3. Price-quality ratio

The most affordable device in the S23 line, thanks towhat is the most favorable price / quality ratio. Against the background of the same iPhone, it wins in terms of cost, which makes it interesting. And there is no doubt that there is a gain in terms of functionality.

Reason number 4. Speakers, volume and sound clarity

The device falls a little short of the Galaxy Fold, butstill excellent in its dynamics - loud, clear, well audible in all conditions. In a word, this moment will delight everyone who uses their smartphone to play music in speakerphone mode or play games, watch videos. This distinguishes the device from a host of the same type and rather quiet devices.

Reason number 5. 8K video recording

Very often I hear the statement that the recordvideo in 8K resolution is pure marketing, pampering and “nobody needs shnyaga”. In fact, even if you don't need that permission, it's the perfect way to capture photos, such as recording your puppy raging or your child playing sports. It is enough to make a video, and only then get a clear photo from a freeze frame. Capturing the right moment just by taking pictures is often impossible, you will miss. But with 8K video you will get it clearly, since you will have all the moments, you just have to choose the right one.

Reason number 6. Working hours

Battery capacity - 3900 mAh.In the 23rd generation, they changed power management, the operating time has increased significantly, although it all depends on your use cases. For example, if you constantly use Telegram, subscribe to many channels, then you will not notice an increase in work time, it will be eaten by the same Telegram. In general, there is an improvement here that will please many.

For a compact device, other scenarios are usually important, for example, the device is mainly used for calls - then it will work for a long time. A full day of work is the norm for this device.

Reason number 8. Updates from Samsung - five years without problems

Samsung decided to update their devices for five years(security patches), and the main versions of Android and OneUI are four years old (and both come bundled, that is, you will have the latest version of the system for several years). Such a support cycle gives you the opportunity to safely use the device for many years, not to worry that something in it will become outdated. We can say for sure that even moral obsolescence is not as typical for Ultra as for other models, this device does not rust like others.

Reason number 9. KNOX, or the second device in the smartphone's memory

Many are so incurious that they do not know aboutthe existence of a second space in the smartphone’s memory where you can store your files and another set of applications. These are not just copies of applications, but de facto the second device, which in every sense is different from your main one. For example, you can hide this space so that no one will know about it. You can create a second copy of any application, not just the same WhatsApp.

Reason number 10. DeX Mode

I love DeX mode and use it all the time, soin a country house I often don’t take out a computer, but connect my phone to a monitor (and you can also to TV!), There is also a wireless mouse and keyboard. The DeX interface appears on the screen, all my files are at hand, both those on the phone and those in the cloud. I understand that not everyone needs this thing, but those who have appreciated the capabilities of DeX do not see a special need for a computer - you buy peripherals, a monitor and work from your phone. Only here another trouble arises, you start to worry about what will happen if you suddenly lose your phone. But that's what clouds are for - to store the most valuable things there.
