2023’s family of Samsung Galaxy phones had a lot to live up to. The S22 Ultra was widely reviewed as the best phone of 2022, so this year’s Galaxy S23 Ultra had big shoes to fill.

The good news is that Samsung has managed to deliver an incredible smartphone. The Galaxy S23 Ultra combines a stunning screen, an impressive camera and battery life that just keeps on going.

Like its predecessor, it is physically huge, which will certainly turn some people away. It’s also expensive, which won’t suit everyone.

But if you like your phones big and have plenty of money to spare, there’s a reason this is currently being celebrated as one of the best phones in Australia.
