WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.160 what's up guys we're here at the Samsung Galaxy experience here in San Francisco 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.500 and just to let you know Samsung did provide flights and accommodation but 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 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 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 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 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 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:30.480 larger screen larger battery and slightly faster charging so if you like 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 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 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 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 00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:49.260 in your hand it's not quite that complete flat rails like the iPhone and 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 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 00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:00.600 looking around the phone on the right side we have our power button and volume 00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:04.379 rocker on the bottom we have have a speaker USBC and SIM card tray well now 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 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:13.920 side nothing and on the top nothing but a microphone 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.400 very plain you know you're not going to get those things that you know budget 00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:20.759 phones somehow have like the IR blasters expandable storage or anything like that 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 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 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 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 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 00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:47.340 what you're getting into but for someone who prefers smaller and flatter phones 00:01:44.579 --> 00:01:50.520 this is very round and very big the screen is quite flat but the glass 00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:53.399 itself falls off so you're still getting a pretty flat writing area for the pen 00:01:52.259 --> 00:01:57.240 and you're not going to get as many accidental touches on the side here we 00:01:55.380 --> 00:02:03.780 have the power button and volume rocker on the bottom we have our probably 00:02:00.119 --> 00:02:06.600 single Sim slot our USBC as well as the 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 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 00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:17.400 of those kind of drawing games or signing PDFs I worked at a bank at the 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 00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:27.599 you'll be hearing that frequently when I'm around frequently 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 00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:34.800 compared to the three and then we have our laser autofocus module so again 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 00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:42.840 inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x 120 hertz QHD 00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:46.860 Plus oh and his Corning Gorilla Glass victus 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 00:02:49.620 --> 00:02:55.739 Glass on the back as well speaking of we have a lot of different colors phones 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 00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:03.840 different colors here that might tickle your fancy we have the lavender cream 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 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 00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:15.540 flat matte that even though it's a gorilla glass it feels great in the hand 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 00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:23.519 love our sponsor dbrand thanks to dbrand for sponsoring today's video now dbrand 00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:26.940 claims they have the world's grippiest case the case has thousands of grippy 00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:30.239 dots that span the surface of the case creating a tremendous number of contact 00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:34.980 points for your buttery fingers get yours today by clicking the link in the description 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.040 I'll wait I'll just be here are you coming back wait wait I gotta 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 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 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.180 big versus this fits so nicely in the hand and pocket so if the performance 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 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.280 the regular s23 here so obviously we got to do a display and speaker test by 00:03:57.239 --> 00:04:02.370 bumping crab Rave in this quiet Samsung Cafe cringe they don't have YouTube 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:07.499 premium 00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:13.379 all right so the screen looks great of 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 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 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.240 earpiece speaker so it doesn't have complete dedicated dual speakers outside 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 00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:31.320 awful it's definitely better than a lot of the other phones we've tried and 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 00:04:32.940 --> 00:04:38.759 as for colors it's that patented Samsung Vivid so if you like your colors really 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 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 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 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.960 want to have something that looks nice and this definitely does it all right 00:04:53.639 --> 00:05:00.060 now let's check out the ultra and see if their speakers are better 00:05:00.060 --> 00:05:04.800 all right same as s23 this sounds great I didn't notice that little bit of 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 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 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 00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:21.900 freaking party show me what the party looks like I've 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 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:29.880 again amazing colors very Punchy in this Vivid mode very sharp and it takes a 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 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.880 nothing but a good thing The Accidental touches really aren't worth that little 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.600 bit of a waterfall effect that you get with that curved Edge and it still looks 00:05:40.979 --> 00:05:46.259 really good one thing we noticed while getting this ready is that the pen was 00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:49.560 low on battery so something to be aware of is an active pen it's probably 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 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 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 00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:07.800 is we're here with the s23 ultra which Samsung is touting as being a gaming 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 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:16.680 it has a special overclocked version so you should get a performance bump over 00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:20.220 the s23 as well as just other phones coming out in the next little bit here 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 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 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:32.639 one terabyte now that one terabyte one is only available through Samsung so for 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 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:42.259 you use that much sus San Fran Baby I 00:06:40.139 --> 00:06:46.620 Love New York overall Gaming's not too bad I mean it's 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 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.240 loaded up really quick I tried closing it reopening it we've switched devices 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 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 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 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 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 00:07:12.660 --> 00:07:17.699 just from the amount of glass that's being exposed to Fresh Air one thing to 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 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 00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:28.919 latest Flagship socs I don't think there's gonna be any trouble running any 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 00:07:30.599 --> 00:07:36.539 won all right we're on set for where they filmed this moon landing in 1969. 00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:40.380 we're already talking about cameras to see if they're really as good as paper 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 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 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:52.979 12 megapixel Ultra wide and luckily enough all the cameras this year have 00:07:51.300 --> 00:07:55.500 Optical image stabilization so you're not going to get any shaky Ultra wides 00:07:54.599 --> 00:08:00.840 like you might have gotten last year what's really special is the 200 00:07:58.020 --> 00:08:04.800 megapixel adaptive pixel main camera what adaptive pixel means is it takes 00:08:02.460 --> 00:08:07.979 that 200 megapixel photo which is way too big to do anything with if you're 00:08:05.940 --> 00:08:11.580 the average person and it turns every 16 pixels into one pixel so what that means 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 00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:19.800 details in all the dark little crevices and Corners you're taking pictures of 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 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 00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:33.300 that you can see what's going on whoa daytime the night performance on 00:08:30.780 --> 00:08:36.779 these is crazy we're not allowed to actually share these photos with you 00:08:35.459 --> 00:08:40.080 even though by the time you're seeing this it's after the Embargo because I 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 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:49.620 the screen to show you but right off the bat the night performance is amazing the 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.860 Selfies are really well lit and the color of my skin especially being a 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:56.339 person of color color still look really natural and then on the main camera 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 00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:05.519 these are all handhelds into the bright scenes of course everything looks great 00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:08.700 the 10x Zoom surprisingly sharp even though it did miss the focus a little 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 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 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 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:28.800 video I was again really impressed no struggles at all and now we have the s23 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:32.940 so it has a 50 megapixel main shooter 12 megapixel Ultra wide and a 10 megapixel 00:09:31.019 --> 00:09:35.519 telephoto which is three times we're gonna go into the dark room again and 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 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 00:09:42.180 --> 00:09:47.700 and that just might be the difference of grabbing that focus with the s23 ultra 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:51.360 is laser autofocus but everything still looked really good although things were 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 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 00:09:55.980 --> 00:10:01.260 fantastic overall the s23 and s23 Ultra 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 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 00:10:07.380 --> 00:10:14.339 extra but trying out these things the amazing cameras the beautiful screens 00:10:12.180 --> 00:10:18.060 great speakers on top of all these other just miscellaneous little features like 00:10:15.839 --> 00:10:20.820 night modes and AK filming it doesn't matter if there's a ton of great 00:10:18.959 --> 00:10:23.820 features and it performs really well if it's too expensive now I only have 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 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 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:38.339 13.99 Canadian and for the ultra it starts at 1649.99 Canadian it seems like 00:10:36.660 --> 00:10:42.540 these are really competitive the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 performed really well 00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:46.079 the cameras again are amazing and the software it's a Samsung I think this 00:10:44.760 --> 00:10:50.579 year Samsung is probably worth checking out but of course wait for it to come 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 00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:57.660 Samsung's own setup areas where everything's going to work perfectly so 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 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:07.459 out my Poco video something on the opposite side of the spectrum it's only 00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:07.459 160 bucks
