The best 2023 phone is the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra! We ordered two, one for my fiance and one for me, the same lavender color, it feels premium and the phone takes amazing photos, and has excellent audio and image quality. You can take photos with the S pen like a remote controller. The seller is kind and answers all the doubts. Highly recommended

No wifi calling option on the "global" S23 Ultra.

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024

Color: Phantom GreenSize: 256 GBVerified Purchase

I live in a rural area that does not have cell service. Further, it is literally impossible to get a landline from AT&T as they discontinued service to new customers several years ago. The only people who have POTS with AT&T are those who were grand fathered in. My point is that, without wifi calling, I have no means of communication with the outside world. I have gone to the neighbors to use their landline four times to call my service provider. Still no option for on the phone for wifi calling. 30 days have passed and I am out a lot of money, have a phone that is useless to me, and can only communicate with others by email or social media. I knew I shouldn't buy a phone off Amazon, but alas, I did it anyway. Lesson learned. P.S. A couple of reviews mentioned the seal was broken on the box upon arrival, mine was as well. Makes me wonder if this is a legit seller.

Review of phone and seller.

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023

Color: blackSize: 512 GBVerified Purchase

This is a review of the device and the seller.

The device was delivered in a sealed box, it was clean and as ordered (brand new). The phone is excellent. While I am still upset that the phone jack and SD card slot are missing from this phone for no good reason, the S23 is probably the only phone that would make me overlook the omissions. It is solid, sleek, and it gives me a similar feeling to the Note 9 (still the best phone Samsung ever made for its time). I wish I could have waited for the price drop when the s24 comes out, but I'm happy I got this. You won't regret it.

The seller was responsive when I reached out regarding the delay in shipping. However, the delay should not have happened in the first place, and the seller didn't provide any clarity on what caused the delay. I get the feeling that if I had not reached out, they wouldn't have been aware of the delay and I wouldn't have received the phone. As it was, the phone was delivered outside of the time frame I had planned for, and I only got the device because my contact was traveling to my country after I left. If they weren't traveling, I wouldn't have gotten the phone until I returned to the USA. Things could have gone really sideways all because the seller was not initially thorough in their shipping. I'm glad it worked out and that they responded, but I encourage them to be more careful in shipping and logistics. I see other comments with similar experiences, so I hope they will improve their services.

Was a bit skeptical after buying such a phone off amazon, but since I bought the s20 at the time, I was hopeful and it did not dissappoint!

The phone works perfectly, it was easy to set up and get my old data via smart switch, it works with my SIM card from Claro (Puerto Rico), and also has 5G with my s20 didn't support.

I have no complaints othee than it took 1 day after the expected date but who cares lol.
