Highlights & Review Of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Display Review:

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at PKR 270,000 remains the sharpest display here, using a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with 1440 × 3088 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 1750 nits peak brightness. That QHD+ resolution gives it substantially higher pixel density than the newer rivals, making small text, photos, and detailed video content look exceptionally crisp.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 costs PKR 285,000 for the 12+256GB configuration and moves to a smaller 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 1080 × 2340 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 1400 nits HBM, and 2600 nits peak brightness. Its higher peak brightness gives the S26 an advantage for bright outdoor highlights, but the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultras QHD+ resolution is considerably sharper, while its larger screen is better suited to media and productivity.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro, priced at PKR 262,000 for 12+512GB, offers a much faster 144Hz refresh rate on its 6.83-inch AMOLED panel. Its 1280 × 2772 resolution is 1.5K rather than QHD+, but its 2000 nits HBM and 3500 nits peak brightness clearly surpass the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra on brightness, while 144Hz gives smoother supported gaming and scrolling.

The Vivo X300 FE at your stated PKR 244,000 uses a compact 6.31-inch AMOLED screen at 2640 × 1216, 120Hz, and up to 5000 nits local peak brightness. Its brightness advantage is huge, although the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra remains ahead in resolution and screen size.

Verdict: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra wins for resolution and large-screen sharpness, but the Xiaomi 17T Pro is the stronger value display, combining 144Hz, 2000 nits HBM, and 3500 nits peak brightness for less money.

Processor Review:

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at PKR 270,000 uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, a flagship chip that still delivers strong performance, but the gap to these 2026 rivals is now substantial. NanoReview records an average AnTuTu v11 score of 1,762,339, with 2,010 single-core and 5,245 multi-core Geekbench 6 scores.

The Samsung Galaxy S26, priced at PKR 285,000 with 12+256GB, represents a major generational jump. The S26 uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in some markets, while other variants use the Exynos 2600, so the exact chipset should be confirmed for the Pakistan model. The Exynos version averages around 3,161,830 AnTuTu v11, already roughly 79% higher than the S23 Ultra’s 1.76 million score. Independent testing also found the Snapdragon S26 ahead of the Exynos version by about 20.4% in AnTuTu v11, with more stable gaming performance.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro is even more aggressive at PKR 262,000, combining the Dimensity 9500 with 12GB RAM. Kimovil reports an AnTuTu v11 score of 3,485,900, nearly twice the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultras result, giving the Xiaomi substantially more CPU and GPU headroom for demanding games, multitasking, and sustained workloads.

The vivo X300 FE at PKR 244,000 uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 12GB RAM. FSL-Specs lists approximately 2.9 million AnTuTu, while NanoReview reports 9,052 Geekbench 6 multi-core performance, making it dramatically faster than the S23 Ultra in modern CPU-heavy workloads.

Verdict: The Xiaomi 17T Pro is the strongest performance/value pick here, delivering around 3.49M AnTuTu v11 for less money than the S23 Ultra, while the S23 Ultra’s 1.76M score shows that its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is now clearly behind the 2026 flagship-class chips.

Ram & Memory Review:

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at PKR 270,000 comes in the target 12GB + 256GB configuration, with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. That combination is still flagship-grade, providing fast app loading, large-file transfers, and strong multitasking performance. There is no microSD card slot, so the 256GB internal storage is the limit for this configuration.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 costs PKR 285,000 for 12GB + 256GB, matching the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra‘s RAM and storage capacity. However, its 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage keep the memory hardware essentially on the same level, so the S26 does not provide a meaningful capacity advantage over the S23 Ultra. Samsung officially confirms that the 256GB S26 comes with 12GB RAM, while the 512GB version also carries 12GB.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro is the strongest storage deal at PKR 262,000, offering 12GB + 512GB, with LPDDR5X 9600Mbps RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. It therefore doubles the S23 Ultra’s storage from 256GB to 512GB while also moving from UFS 4.0 to UFS 4.1. For users who install many large games, record lots of 4K/8K video, or keep large offline media libraries, this is a substantial advantage for less money.

The vivo X300 FE at your stated PKR 244,000 also provides 12GB + 256GB, but upgrades the storage specification to UFS 4.1 and uses LPDDR5X Ultra RAM. Its capacity matches the S23 Ultra, but the newer memory platform gives the vivo a more modern storage configuration.

Verdict: The Xiaomi 17T Pro wins the RAM & memory comparison, offering the same 12GB RAM as the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra but 512GB UFS 4.1 storage, double the capacity, and a lower price of PKR 262,000.

Cameras Review:

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at PKR 270,000 has the most versatile camera system in this comparison, built around a 200MP f/1.7 main camera with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x telephoto, and 10MP 10x periscope telephoto with OIS. The dedicated 3x and 10x optical cameras give it a major advantage for long-distance photography, while Samsung supports up to 8K video at 24/30fps and 4K at 60fps. Its 12MP front camera can also record 4K at 60fps.

The Samsung Galaxy S26, at PKR 285,000, uses a 50MP f/1.8 main camera, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP 3x telephoto, plus a 12MP selfie camera. It still offers 3x optical zoom and 8K video recording, but the S23 Ultra has a much more capable zoom setup because it adds a dedicated 10x optical periscope. Therefore, for serious zoom photography, the older Ultra remains the stronger Samsung option.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro is priced lower at PKR 262,000 and takes a different approach with Leica optics. It features a 50MP f/1.67 main camera with a large 1/1.31-inch sensor and OIS, a 50MP 5x periscope telephoto with OIS, and a 12MP ultrawide. Its video capabilities are particularly strong, reaching 8K at 30fps and 4K at 120fps, while the front camera is 32MP with 4K video support.

The vivo X300 FE at PKR 244,000 offers 50MP ZEISS main + 50MP ZEISS telephoto + 8MP ultrawide cameras. Its Sony IMX921 main sensor has an f/1.57 aperture, while the Sony IMX882 telephoto provides 3x optical zoom. The 50MP front camera is another clear advantage for detailed selfies.

Verdict: The Xiaomi 17T Pro is the strongest overall camera rival for value, with a 1/1.31-inch 50MP main sensor, 50MP 5x telephoto, Leica optics, and 4K 120fps video. However, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, remains the zoom specialist, thanks to its unique combination of 3x + 10x optical zoom

Battery Review:

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at PKR 270,000 carries a 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging, wireless charging, and Wireless PowerShare. Samsung states that the S23 Ultra can reach around 65% in 30 minutes using its 45W adapter. The 5,000mAh capacity is still competitive, but its charging speed is modest compared with the newer Xiaomi and vivo rivals.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 costs PKR 285,000 but actually has a smaller 4,300mAh battery. It supports only 25W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and Wireless PowerShare. Samsung rates it for up to 30 hours of video playback, but in hardware terms the S23 Ultra has a 700mAh larger battery and substantially faster wired charging.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro is the biggest battery upgrade in this group, offering a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. It also supports up to 22.5W wired reverse charging. At PKR 262,000, it gives you 2,000mAh more capacity than the S23 Ultra while more than doubling its wired charging power, making it particularly attractive for heavy gaming and long travel days.

The vivo X300 FE at PKR 244,000 also moves well beyond the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with a 6,500mAh typical battery and 90W wired charging, plus 40W wireless charging. That means it has 1,500mAh more capacity than the S23 Ultra and twice the wired charging rate, while retaining fast wireless charging.

Verdict: The Xiaomi 17T Pro wins the battery comparison, combining a huge 7,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging at a lower price than the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The S23 Ultra remains respectable, but its 5,000mAh + 45W setup is clearly behind both newer rivals.

Final Verdict :

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at PKR 270,000 remains the best choice for buyers who prioritize a premium display and especially versatile photography, with its QHD+ panel and dedicated 3x + 10x optical zoom system. However, the newer Xiaomi 17T Pro is the strongest overall rival because it costs only PKR 262,000 while offering 12GB + 512GB, a Dimensity 9500, 144Hz display, 7,000mAh battery, 100W wired + 50W wireless charging, and a 50MP 5x telephoto camera. Xiaomi’s official specifications also list an AnTuTu score above 3.57 million, putting its raw performance far ahead of the S23 Ultra.

The vivo X300 FE is another powerful value option, with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, 12GB + 256GB, UFS 4.1, 6,500mAh, 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, although its official Pakistan price is currently listed at PKR 269,999, rather than the PKR 244,000 price used in this comparison.

The Galaxy S26 delivers the newest Samsung platform and a compact flagship experience, but its 4,300mAh battery and 25W charging make it less compelling against these alternatives. Verdict: For overall value and modern hardware, the Xiaomi 17T Pro ranks first, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra remains the better choice for buyers who value display quality and long-range camera versatility above raw performance and charging speed.
