Credit: Hadlee Simons / Android AuthorityMy Google Pixel 7 Pro was stolen back in January after I foolishly left my bag unattended on the beach. I’m fortunate enough to have access to quite a few recent flagship Android phones, but I decided to switch to the ageing but still capable Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra as my primary device.I opted for the Samsung handset as I haven’t actually used a Galaxy phone as my primary phone in literal years. Sure, I’ve reviewed Samsung devices in the past, most recently the Galaxy S25 FE and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. But I thought it would be a good idea to set the S23 Ultra up as a full daily driver — financial apps, work tools, and everything in between. So, what was it like switching from Google to Samsung? Here’s how it went.
