Galaxy S23 Ultra: Samsung confirms 200 MP camera and brings in Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max as further rumors hint at paradigm-shifting smartphone

No SD card?
How about a charger???

HARD PASS....

My Note 20 Ultra is doing very well, AND HAS BOTH ITEMS!

Don't hold your breath, look elsewhere.

If we DON'T VOICE OUR OPINION about it, IT DEFINITELY WON'T HAPPEN!!!!
In the USA, we don't blindly follow orders, we make our OWN PATH & GO THE WAY WE DESIRE...

Take away the pen and put back the memory slot

Odd, seems nearly everyone commenting has an issue with Galaxy phones.
I'm loving this phone. I've had Galaxies since the S7 and I've only had issues with one phone...and that was just an design flaw. The camera lenses were far too open to damage (even encased in an Otterbox Defender).
I don't really feel the need for an SD card either...I have a 512gb ultra and I've barely touched the storage with 11 pages of apps, hundreds and hundreds of photos, videos, 3d scans...
If you use up more than 256gb of storage on a phone, you have issues.
Seek help.

I'll probably pioneer an S23ultra too. I'm cautiously dubious about the spec claims but I've, thus far,  been pleasantly surprised at each release.
If anything, that's one sweet camera sensor...almost completely worth the price of admission. I still can't complain about the battery life on the S22...I still get good battery life length with moderately heavy use, so an enhanced battery isn't so much a game changer for me either. We'll see what happens when theres more confirmed specs.

They need to get rid of Bixby, (or at least make it 100% defeatable) so the Google Assistant will actually work properly. Until then, Samsung will not be selling me another phone. I swear they intentionally break parts the Google Assistant. I have had several Nexus and Pixel Devices along with 4 Galaxy devices and there is a clear and obvious difference in the performance of the Google Assistant. My mom's entry-level Moto One 5G Ace works better than my Galaxy S21 with voice commands. It is pitiful. As soon as I can get a Pixel 7 I will say bye-bye to Bixby.

I'm extremely disappointed on not having an SD card slot. The note 20 ultra was the last ultimate phone. SD card with powerhouse specs and all the accessories it needs. I don't want to hear this BS that storage is not important because if their home country can get all the specs and slots in the world, we should get the same. I get people don't really know why would they need anything. Well it's for the power use not the average user who doesn't understand anything of the device he or she is purchasing. Samsung can sell what they want to sell but once they forget about the power user they lost me and lost my money as well.

In this day & age there really is no reason to not have an SD card slot or an IR blaster or a headphone jack for that matter. And knowing Samsung there will be a shitty Exynos version to boot.

I will not be investing in Samsung anytime soon.

I honestly don't see what the issue is. I've had Samsung Galaxies since the very first one years ago. I have zero complaints. I fell in love with the camera of the S20 Ultra! I've literally got 7K photos on my phone because of it. And I have zero issues with storage. I don't know, maybe I'm a fluke, but I absolutely love my galaxy phones

smh...I've been very vocal about them losing the headphone jack for 2 years, then I realized, Samsung is not even worth the trouble. If I need two things in a flagship and one of them is a Samsung specialty, it's just the S-Pen, beyond that I'd rather get that Xiaomi with the Type-1 sensor because it'll be far superior (when matched to gcam) to Samsung's nonacell or whatever stupid name they renamed it, the default camera would probably be more likable too, it also looks more premium.
So between a well-rounded Xiaomi with my current favorite sensor on mobile and a Samsung with nothing particularly outstanding but the S-Pen and neither has the headphone jack, I'd rather get the Xiaomi.
If I absolutely need the headphone jack, I'll get the latest ROGP with crappy camera but outstanding battery life, sustained performance and latency, not to mention 2 C ports, an absolute powerhouse...then "deuglify" the back cover using sandpaper or something.
