The Samsung Galaxy S23 series was unveiled recently, with the Galaxy S23 Ultra being the standout model that caught everyone’s attention. This true flagship Android phone has been a popular topic for reviews by various tech websites, including Gizmochina, and numerous YouTubers since its debut. The latest review, however, comes from an intriguing figure—Nothing CEO and former OnePlus co-founder, Carl Pei, who has shared his take on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Here are the details…

Nothing CEO Review Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Carl Pei has been posting phone reviews on Nothing’s YouTube channel for a while now, and he recently shared his much-anticipated Galaxy S23 Ultra review. In the video, Pei begins by discussing his deep connections with Samsung, revealing that he was among the first users of the Galaxy S2 and S3 models and was once a Samsung enthusiast. However, he admits that he lost interest in Samsung after those two phones.

As Pei shares his thoughts on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which he’s been using for some time, he points out that the software bears a striking resemblance to models from 12 years ago. He emphasizes that the hardware is nearly flawless, making it difficult to find anything negative to say about it. The most notable criticism, however, is the striking similarity in design to the Galaxy S22 Ultra released the previous year. Pei highlights a small detail in the design during the video, stating that it’s the only difference between the two phones.

In his Galaxy S23 Ultra review, Carl Pei frequently mentions Nothing and states that their target audience consists of people interested in technology and design. As you may know, the S-Pen is an essential feature for many Samsung users. In fact, when the production of the Note series was halted, many people objected to the decision. However, Carl Pei argues that while the S-Pen may seem attractive on paper, it is not very useful in reality and takes up too much space.

When discussing the camera, Pei reiterates a simple truth: the importance of 200 megapixels is overstated. He says, “the larger the camera lens, the better the camera.” The basic logic here is that the more light a camera lens can capture, the better the resulting photo will be. As for Samsung’s frequently criticized “fake Moon” photos, Pei says that it’s something new and has been recurring every two years for the last six years.

Although One UI 5.0 has satisfied many people, Nothing’s CEO isn’t among them. While he describes the interface as “outdated,” his primary criticism is about the pre-installed applications. He emphasizes that, compared to Samsung’s 30+ preloaded apps, their own phones have only a few. However, when making a general statement, he said, “Everyone in our industry should respect Samsung.”

Drawing attention to the fact that Google and Samsung built the Android ecosystem together, he stated, “If it weren’t for Samsung, we wouldn’t be here.”Nothing’s CEO, known for his objective comments, concluded his Galaxy S23 Ultra review on a positive note. What tech enthusiasts are most curious about now is which phone will be next in line.
