Here are the top five reasons to upgrade your Galaxy S20 Ultra to S23 Ultra:

Software support

Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 series with Android 10-based One UI 2.1 out of the box. The Galaxy S20 device received three major OS upgrades, while the company is still committed to bringing two years of more security patches. The S23 Ultra runs Android 13 out of the box and will have satisfying support!

S Pen

Galaxy S20 Ultra is a powerful smartphone, but, it lacks S Pen support, which is an iconic feature. Samsung brought it to the Galaxy S21 Ultra as an external accessory, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra has a dedicated silo. If you consider buying the S23 Ultra, the S Pen feature will come along.
