Just got my S23 Ultra

[TommiGSi]

Just got my new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra phone from Europe (wanted dual SIM version, not available in Northern America).

Happy to receive Samsung after many years, when I had Huawei phones, but due to their dumb new operating system didn't want to get a new one.

My favorite feature now is leaving s note for myself on black screen using a pen.

Hoping to discover more useful features, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.

What are your favorite features of Your Ultra? Share some good tips to try.

Thank you!

The S pen can be used as a remote control for the camera if it's on a tri pod

When viewing a photo in gallery app you can press your finger on an image that you want to save such as a pet or other item and it will cut that item from the picture and let you save it. I showed that to a iPhone user and they were jealous.

The gallery app has some amazing features if you explore it. You can make a picture of real flowers look like a watercolor painting or even a portrait of a person or pet. Tey it it's very fun. The gallery app is amazing

The Canadian S23 Ultra is Dual SIM, one physical SIM & one eSIM. Not sure what advantages you think you'll have with the international variant. You won't have any warranty, if that matters to you.

The warranty is international, I've got official confirmation from Samsung. I have Dual SIM with 2 physical SIM cards, the main advantage is while traveling the world, you can buy prepaid local sim with GB and local traffic anywhere in the world.

And seeing as how you can't purchase the international variant from Samsung Canada, or any of the Canadian Carriers...

Not too mention RCS / WiFi Calling & possibly Samsung Wallet... 

Don't want to be ☔ on anyone's parade, but..

That happened to me with my A52 I bought used. Manufactured in India so couldn't use RCS or Samsung Pay/Wallet.
