msazal90, 11 May 2025I finally bought S23 ultra. I've always used mid range phones. My last phone was A72. Wan... moreYou chose well. The S23 Ultra has a good price value now that it's 2 years old and not only that but the S24 and S25 Ultras are just incremental upgrades while the telephoto camera actually got downgraded so you're not missing much. Compared to the S22 Ultra that phone was an absolute disaster, the S23 Ultra is a huge upgrade but S24U is the same phone basically

    I finally bought S23 ultra. I've always used mid range phones. My last phone was A72. Wanted to buy an old flagship and between Oneplus 12, pixel 8 pro, and S23 ultra, I'm glad I chose S23 ultra. Pixel's selfie is, well, not good at all. My device is in OneUI 6.1, let me know if I should update to OneUI 7. Also anything I should watch out for.

      Further updates on one ui7:

      Battery is absolute trash now. Barely 5 hours of on screen time.

      One ui 6.1 used to get around 7 hours screen time

      One ui5.1 used to achieve 9 hours sometimes even 10 hours.

      Yes i have always done wipe cache partition.

          Anonymous, 06 May 2025hi!how can I see the cycles of the batteryAs far as im concerned there is no way to see battery cycle count on a Samsung without installing external apps like accubattery.

          Accubattery is only accurate at cycle count if installed from when phone is brand new and has recorded every charge cycle

          Astonishing how Samsung still has no battery cycle count or health percentage after one ui7 update

            Such a buggy one ui7 update .

            So many of the goodlock apps are not working correctly now

            App switching has become so annoying

            So much delay and they still couldn't get it right

                      Anyone know if Vulcan API is being used after the update? I really hope they havent reverted back to OpenGL, that would suggest they were planning to make the older devices obsolete already!

                          Just got one ui7 on s23u. All the samsung haters were blasting their cannons. But boys! Tbh this update although arrived late is a huge step up.
                          I didn't notice any battery drain, camera quality issue, lagging, nothing. Overall an excellent update.

                              Just now my phone S23 Ultra got One UI 7 update and is getting downloaded here in India. People from India can download the update as it has been released for many country it seems. For India the update was scheduled on May but surprisingly Samsung has released it alongside UAE and Europe to many other regions as well. Great news for all of us. Kindly get your device updated.

                                    VladoP, 28 Apr 2025Please share your observations on the battery life under One UI 7.0It's amazing! Holy shit, I have to give credit where its due, the update is very very good, its snappy af, the layout and theme is excellent, and the battery life has significanty improved! I charged my S23u to 99% while at work, installed the update after that, used the phone constantly since then, 4 hour 35 mins screen on time so far and its on 58%! WTF! Easily 8-9 hours SOT possible out of this now! They have worked on this hard, I can tell.
