The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra was officially launched on February 19, 2023. It is not discontinued and still remains one of Samsung’s flagship models in 2025.
Important Considerations
- The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset with 12GB RAM is still powerful in 2025, but newer chipsets offer better efficiency.
- Software support is strong, but it is already two generations old, with updates promised until around 2028.
- Prices are high in Pakistan compared to alternatives, especially PTA-approved versions.
- Battery health on used units should be checked carefully before purchase.
Better Alternatives
- Samsung: Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S23+, Galaxy S23 FE (offer similar or better performance with longer support).
- Android rivals: OnePlus 12, Xiaomi 14, Vivo X100 Pro, and Google Pixel 8 Pro (provide excellent performance and cameras at competitive prices).
