Samsung’s latest productivity phone would be perfect if not for one, curly detail.

The curve on the left and right edges of screens looks fancy, but in practice it just gets in the way, reducing the usable area of the screen, and making the screen’s user interface more prone to accidental and unwanted touches.

From our three weeks of using the S23 Ultra, we’d say the curve has been flattened out sufficiently to do away with most curve-related accidental screen taps, which is something of an improvement over last year’s model.But the phone’s screen still isn’t as flat as we would like it for handwriting and drawing with the pen, and it’s not as flat as we would like it for aesthetic purposes.

In the meantime, Samsung has made other changes to the Galaxy S23 Ultra, most notably by adding a whopping 200 megapixel image sensor to the main camera, up from 108 megapixels in the S22 Ultra.For starters, the default mode of the main camera is to shoot in 12-megapixel mode, which Samsung achieves by combining 16 physical pixels together into one virtual pixel.

That alone is a worthwhile improvement on last year’s S22, but there’s also improved optical image stabilisation this year, too, all of which adds up to a camera that rarely takes unusable photos.
