   Galaxy S23 Ultra hands-on after 3 days: I didn't expect this

   After three days, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is Jen's favorite smartphone. Speed, battery, face unlock, frame and speakers are real improvements, the camera barely is. Her unit had to go back because of a rattling S Pen.

   Galaxy S23 Ultra long-term review after 2 weeks: I have to correct myself

   For Jen, the Galaxy S23 Plus is already an absolute flagship and sits better in the hand. For €200 more, the S23 Ultra offers the S Pen, 100x zoom, macro mode and 200 megapixels. For most people, the Plus is enough.

   A MacBook doesn't necessarily need an iPhone. With Microsoft Office services and Google solutions, mail, calendar, notes, to-dos, photos, and files can be kept in good sync between a MacBook and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Only AirDrop is missing; Jen uses Google Drive for that.

   Google Pixel 7a review: can it replace my Galaxy S23 Ultra?

   For a recommended retail price (RRP) of €509, the Google Pixel 7a impresses with smooth performance, good software and a compact size. It replaces a flagship in performance and features. Jen is bothered by the weight of 193 g and the lack of the S23 Ultra's AMOLED display, but if you don't care about weight, you get a solid alternative.
