1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,160
what's up guys we're here at the Samsung Galaxy experience here in San Francisco

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,500
and just to let you know Samsung did provide flights and accommodation but

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,460
they're not getting any sort of review and this is not sponsored by them so if

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:15,719
it's trash I'll let you know they're showing off the brand new s23 s23 plus

5
00:00:13,799 --> 00:00:20,039
and s23 Ultra and we're excited to show it off so let's get right into it right

6
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:23,220
off the bat here we have the s23 and s23 Ultra there is the s23 plus as well but

7
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:27,180
we're not going to take a look at it as it's very similar to the s23 just with a

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,480
larger screen larger battery and slightly faster charging so if you like

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:35,100
this phone and want a bit bigger you should be safe to go for the plus size starting with design and this is

10
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:39,719
definitely a phone it's like Samson said let's take the essence of a phone and

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:43,020
boil it down into the most basic thing you can get and that's not a bad thing

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,020
it's a flat design it still has that kind of rounded corner so it fits nice

13
00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:49,260
in your hand it's not quite that complete flat rails like the iPhone and

14
00:00:47,879 --> 00:00:52,620
on the back there's no set of camera housing it's just the raw lenses which I

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,640
think looks nice but it's definitely gonna be something you want to put a case on because these are pretty exposed

16
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:00,600
looking around the phone on the right side we have our power button and volume

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:04,379
rocker on the bottom we have have a speaker USBC and SIM card tray well now

18
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:08,580
let's open it up but I feel like it's safe to assume it's a single nano SIM with an e-sim possibility on the left

19
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:13,920
side nothing and on the top nothing but a microphone

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,400
very plain you know you're not going to get those things that you know budget

21
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:20,759
phones somehow have like the IR blasters expandable storage or anything like that

22
00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:26,340
but we haven't had those for years on these Flagship devices so it's nothing too surprising and of course on the

23
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:29,400
front we have the 6.1 inch full HD Plus AMOLED screen we're going to take a look

24
00:01:28,140 --> 00:01:34,140
at the screen closer later though so let's move on to the ultra here we have

25
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:39,540
the ultra the phone for gamers let's take a look this one here it's big it's

26
00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:42,420
a big phone if you like big phones if you had the s22 ultra you kind of know

27
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:47,340
what you're getting into but for someone who prefers smaller and flatter phones

28
00:01:44,579 --> 00:01:50,520
this is very round and very big the screen is quite flat but the glass

29
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:53,399
itself falls off so you're still getting a pretty flat writing area for the pen

30
00:01:52,259 --> 00:01:57,240
and you're not going to get as many accidental touches on the side here we

31
00:01:55,380 --> 00:02:03,780
have the power button and volume rocker on the bottom we have our probably

32
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:06,600
single Sim slot our USBC as well as the

33
00:02:03,780 --> 00:02:11,099
speaker Grille and S Pen I actually was a note user back with the Note 5 I think

34
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,340
it was and I loved it I think it was great for playing like Jack box or any

35
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:17,400
of those kind of drawing games or signing PDFs I worked at a bank at the

36
00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:23,760
time and it was great to be able to sign something off and send it off just on my phone plus it's a great fidget toy

37
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:27,599
you'll be hearing that frequently when I'm around frequently

38
00:02:26,220 --> 00:02:31,500
on the back it looks very similar to the s23 we have our four main Shooters here

39
00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:34,800
compared to the three and then we have our laser autofocus module so again

40
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:41,519
you'll be getting some really quick focus and on the front we have the 6.7

41
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,840
inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x 120 hertz QHD

42
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:46,860
Plus oh and his Corning Gorilla Glass victus

43
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:52,260
2 as well so you know I'm a big fan of not dropping your phone but if you do this should be okay and it's Gorilla

44
00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:55,739
Glass on the back as well speaking of we have a lot of different colors phones

45
00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:58,680
are a major fashion accessory whether we like it or not so Samsung's got a few

46
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:03,840
different colors here that might tickle your fancy we have the lavender cream

47
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:07,620
green and Phantom black and I'm a big fan of the green my favorite color of

48
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:11,519
foam was a green iPhone 11 and this one might take the bill it's a nice almost a

49
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:15,540
flat matte that even though it's a gorilla glass it feels great in the hand

50
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,440
and the color reflects really well but if you don't like the color then you'll

51
00:03:17,099 --> 00:03:23,519
love our sponsor dbrand thanks to dbrand for sponsoring today's video now dbrand

52
00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:26,940
claims they have the world's grippiest case the case has thousands of grippy

53
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,239
dots that span the surface of the case creating a tremendous number of contact

54
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:34,980
points for your buttery fingers get yours today by clicking the link in the description

55
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,040
I'll wait I'll just be here are you coming back wait wait I gotta

56
00:03:37,140 --> 00:03:43,560
say I was just taking off the case in the dbrand spot and the size of the regular s23 is nice I've been using the

57
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:48,540
OnePlus 11 5G for the last little while here stay tuned for that video and it's

58
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:51,180
big versus this fits so nicely in the hand and pocket so if the performance

59
00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:55,739
can keep up this might be a really good option first let's go check out the display and speakers all right we've got

60
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,280
the regular s23 here so obviously we got to do a display and speaker test by

61
00:03:57,239 --> 00:04:02,370
bumping crab Rave in this quiet Samsung Cafe cringe they don't have YouTube

62
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:07,499
premium

63
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:13,379
all right so the screen looks great of

64
00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:17,579
course it's a Samsung phone they make some of the best screens in the game the

65
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,579
speakers are loud and not bad but I did notice a little bit of peaking in the

66
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:24,240
earpiece speaker so it doesn't have complete dedicated dual speakers outside

67
00:04:22,380 --> 00:04:27,000
of the earpiece I think it's suffering a little bit because of it but it's not

68
00:04:25,620 --> 00:04:31,320
awful it's definitely better than a lot of the other phones we've tried and

69
00:04:28,740 --> 00:04:35,160
you know you're going to be fine playing crab Rave On The Bus like you usually do

70
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:38,759
as for colors it's that patented Samsung Vivid so if you like your colors really

71
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:43,259
Punchy this can look great and I'm sure there's ways to turn it down to a more neutral look but

72
00:04:41,220 --> 00:04:47,220
as a normie I kind of just like it looking pleasing to the eye I'm not

73
00:04:45,540 --> 00:04:51,840
going to watch Oppenheimer on this so I don't really care if it's not that gritty realistic look sometimes I just

74
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:54,960
want to have something that looks nice and this definitely does it all right

75
00:04:53,639 --> 00:05:00,060
now let's check out the ultra and see if their speakers are better

76
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:04,800
all right same as s23 this sounds great I didn't notice that little bit of

77
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,300
cracklings maybe it's just this device that's been sitting out and being used last little bit but sounds phenomenal

78
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:14,520
again you're not getting the stereo separation as if there are two dedicated speakers but you're not going to

79
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:17,880
complain in a pinch you put this down on a table you're gonna be bumping a whole

80
00:05:16,139 --> 00:05:21,900
freaking party show me what the party looks like I've

81
00:05:20,580 --> 00:05:26,280
never been to one I didn't want you to find out like this that's the display

82
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:29,880
again amazing colors very Punchy in this Vivid mode very sharp and it takes a

83
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:35,280
little bit to get used to the fact that screen doesn't fall over the edge like past devices but again I think that's

84
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,880
nothing but a good thing The Accidental touches really aren't worth that little

85
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,600
bit of a waterfall effect that you get with that curved Edge and it still looks

86
00:05:40,979 --> 00:05:46,259
really good one thing we noticed while getting this ready is that the pen was

87
00:05:44,699 --> 00:05:49,560
low on battery so something to be aware of is an active pen it's probably

88
00:05:48,180 --> 00:05:53,160
because of Bluetooth to use this as a remote or whatever when you push the button but

89
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,539
it's a trade-off it's something to be aware of at the very least obviously crab rave looks great but we're Gamers

90
00:05:56,280 --> 00:06:03,900
which means we need to go to the gamer Zone to see if everything really looks good I'm in my zone the gaming Zone that

91
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:07,800
is we're here with the s23 ultra which Samsung is touting as being a gaming

92
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:12,720
Beast so let's talk some raw specs the s23 ultra has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 but

93
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:16,680
it has a special overclocked version so you should get a performance bump over

94
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:20,220
the s23 as well as just other phones coming out in the next little bit here

95
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:24,479
which is pretty exciting also inside you can do eight gigs of ramp or gigs of RAM

96
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:29,639
and for the 16 gigs of RAM version you can go from 256 gigs all the way up to

97
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,639
one terabyte now that one terabyte one is only available through Samsung so for

98
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:40,139
someone who gets through a carrier you're a little bit out of luck but that's a lot of storage for a phone if

99
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:42,259
you use that much sus San Fran Baby I

100
00:06:40,139 --> 00:06:46,620
Love New York overall Gaming's not too bad I mean it's

101
00:06:45,419 --> 00:06:51,419
a mobile game it's one they have pre-loaded on this so I'm sure it's kind of optimized for this new device but it

102
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,240
loaded up really quick I tried closing it reopening it we've switched devices

103
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:58,620
to see if there's any difference and everything runs pretty smoothly David was even saying earlier that this looks

104
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:03,600
better than like a Nintendo switch game that if you saw you'd be like good job Nintendo this looks pretty good and it's

105
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,780
on this it's a little warm it's not too bad it is plugged in which is going to

106
00:07:05,340 --> 00:07:09,840
add to that so something to be aware of you might get some sweaty hands uh I

107
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,280
don't think it's gonna be anything too bad especially with how large the device is it should be able to passively cool

108
00:07:12,660 --> 00:07:17,699
just from the amount of glass that's being exposed to Fresh Air one thing to

109
00:07:15,780 --> 00:07:21,120
note is that there are no s23s here in the gaming center and it just has the

110
00:07:19,259 --> 00:07:25,740
regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 so it's going to perform a little worse but with the

111
00:07:23,819 --> 00:07:28,919
latest Flagship socs I don't think there's gonna be any trouble running any

112
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,520
games that really exist but let us know if you want Labs to check it out hey I

113
00:07:30,599 --> 00:07:36,539
won all right we're on set for where they filmed this moon landing in 1969.

114
00:07:34,740 --> 00:07:40,380
we're already talking about cameras to see if they're really as good as paper

115
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,699
says so we got the s23 ultra here and there's a lot going on so we got two

116
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:49,620
telephoto lenses one at 3x and one at 10x both are 10 megapixel then we have a

117
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,979
12 megapixel Ultra wide and luckily enough all the cameras this year have

118
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:55,500
Optical image stabilization so you're not going to get any shaky Ultra wides

119
00:07:54,599 --> 00:08:00,840
like you might have gotten last year what's really special is the 200

120
00:07:58,020 --> 00:08:04,800
megapixel adaptive pixel main camera what adaptive pixel means is it takes

121
00:08:02,460 --> 00:08:07,979
that 200 megapixel photo which is way too big to do anything with if you're

122
00:08:05,940 --> 00:08:11,580
the average person and it turns every 16 pixels into one pixel so what that means

123
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:16,680
is that you're gonna get more brightness in each photo so that when you're taking photos at night you can still get

124
00:08:14,699 --> 00:08:19,800
details in all the dark little crevices and Corners you're taking pictures of

125
00:08:18,180 --> 00:08:24,120
now I'm gonna go to a shady back alley and see just how this does come on now

126
00:08:22,259 --> 00:08:27,080
as you can see it's really dark in here so we're going to change the settings so

127
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:33,300
that you can see what's going on whoa daytime the night performance on

128
00:08:30,780 --> 00:08:36,779
these is crazy we're not allowed to actually share these photos with you

129
00:08:35,459 --> 00:08:40,080
even though by the time you're seeing this it's after the Embargo because I

130
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:45,000
don't want anything being transferred during this embargo in case something happens so we're just gonna have to film

131
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:49,620
the screen to show you but right off the bat the night performance is amazing the

132
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,860
Selfies are really well lit and the color of my skin especially being a

133
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,339
person of color color still look really natural and then on the main camera

134
00:08:54,420 --> 00:09:00,540
itself it's like I'm taking a picture with an actual DSLR and tripod and yeah

135
00:08:58,740 --> 00:09:05,519
these are all handhelds into the bright scenes of course everything looks great

136
00:09:02,580 --> 00:09:08,700
the 10x Zoom surprisingly sharp even though it did miss the focus a little

137
00:09:07,140 --> 00:09:11,580
bit I feel like if I had taken more time or put it on a tripod just to give the

138
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:18,600
ois a little bit of help maybe it would have been a little bit sharper but I'm still Blown Away they look really really

139
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:24,240
nice and again I wish I could show you the full resolution photos but I can for

140
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:28,800
video I was again really impressed no struggles at all and now we have the s23

141
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:32,940
so it has a 50 megapixel main shooter 12 megapixel Ultra wide and a 10 megapixel

142
00:09:31,019 --> 00:09:35,519
telephoto which is three times we're gonna go into the dark room again and

143
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,300
take some pictures to see what we think looks good still it doesn't seem to be

144
00:09:37,860 --> 00:09:43,500
as good as the the ultra level and I did have to manually adjust exposure a couple times

145
00:09:42,180 --> 00:09:47,700
and that just might be the difference of grabbing that focus with the s23 ultra

146
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:51,360
is laser autofocus but everything still looked really good although things were

147
00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:54,480
a little bit more grainy in the dark I think that you'll be really happy with

148
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:59,100
any photos that it takes mic quality was also great on both of them which is a

149
00:09:55,980 --> 00:10:01,260
fantastic overall the s23 and s23 Ultra

150
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:04,320
look like amazing phones this is coming from a guy who's been on iPhone for a

151
00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:09,779
long time and when I was on Android didn't really want to use Samsung because I thought it was just kind of

152
00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:14,339
extra but trying out these things the amazing cameras the beautiful screens

153
00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:18,060
great speakers on top of all these other just miscellaneous little features like

154
00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:20,820
night modes and AK filming it doesn't matter if there's a ton of great

155
00:10:18,959 --> 00:10:23,820
features and it performs really well if it's too expensive now I only have

156
00:10:22,620 --> 00:10:28,200
Canadian pricing so we're going to put the kind of today's equivalent of USD on

157
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:33,600
the screen here for the s23 it starts at 1099 Canadian for the plus it starts at

158
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:38,339
13.99 Canadian and for the ultra it starts at 1649.99 Canadian it seems like

159
00:10:36,660 --> 00:10:42,540
these are really competitive the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 performed really well

160
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:46,079
the cameras again are amazing and the software it's a Samsung I think this

161
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:50,579
year Samsung is probably worth checking out but of course wait for it to come

162
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,600
out and see full reviews and unboxings this is just a quick look and it was in

163
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,660
Samsung's own setup areas where everything's going to work perfectly so

164
00:10:56,220 --> 00:11:03,540
keep an eye out let us know if you want Labs check it out when it fully releases and if you like this video maybe check

165
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:07,459
out my Poco video something on the opposite side of the spectrum it's only

166
00:11:04,740 --> 00:11:07,459
160 bucks
