Hey guys, Thunder E here and welcome to the video we're waiting for on the channel gaming on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Now if you join us for the very first time hit that subscribe button and notification icon so you can watch more videos like this. The S23 Ultra is here this is of course Samsung's biggest flagship device and it is powered by a brand new processor. Now of course we care about gaming on this channel we also care about the fact that we're going to be having a Snapdragon processor on every single Galaxy S23 device across the planet this year and not just the Snapdragon 8102 Gen 2 which is a really good chip and we've seen in other devices. This is the Snapdragon 8102 4 Galaxy so especially tuned for Galaxy devices for better performance better gaming and that's what we're here to check out with that faster clock speed and all that you know all that fun stuff in there. So before we even get into that let's look at the hardware we've got a 6.8 inch device with a lovely display just took it out of my backbone case that display goes up to a 1,750 nits really nice bright display. Now the side panels of the device is more of a flat trim instead of that more called feel which I think is really important when you're gaming and you might think why does that care. Well because it feels more comfortable in the hands less of that curve so I definitely like that. Now you're getting 256GB of storage you can put a lot of your games in there and of course you start with a gigabyte of RAM which is enough but you can go up to 12 on this bad boy. 5,000 milliamp battery and let's look at the very first thing which is most important for all of us here which is of course benchmarks because this has that brand new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy and the benchmarks scores here from the deep bench for the CPU single score it is a 1500 and 27 while the multi core is 4835. That's one of the higher single cores I've seen for Snapdragon device. Multi core not as high maybe because of course the way the chipset is set up with this specialized version here but still some really impressive scores. Now I also want to look at the compute scores because there are some really interesting numbers here. Vulkan I got 10,348 so it's actually pretty solid overall. Now you're thinking look okay Thunder E it's got some really great benchmarks what about the games. As you know we started off with our very first game which is Call of Duty Mobile and the reason we play Call of Duty Mobile is because it runs really well on a lot of devices and it runs well here on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. We're getting 89 frames per second playing at the highest frame rate settings on the game. Runs really smooth no issues and also in terms of temperatures it actually stays pretty nice and cool so very solid there. Then we move over to Apex Legends. Now Apex Legends here we're playing an Ultra HD Ultra and we're getting a solid 60 frames per second Rant Smooth played for about 30 minutes of gameplay and it was just solid. Now moving into the other two games where we push the performance level a little higher and that of course is PUBG Mobile. Of course we start off with a smooth extreme where we're getting a solid 60 frames per second and that is to be expected and then we move over to Ultra HD Ultra where again we're getting that solid 40 frames per second which is standard and you're thinking okay is it still the same thing so I decided to try Ultra HD Extreme which I've done. We're getting on my Galaxy S22 Ultra before and I was not getting really good frame rates around 35 maybe getting close to 40 with the Galaxy S23 Ultra and that snapdragon chipsets you're getting 60 frames per second on Ultra HD Extreme again Ultra HD Extreme so this is really nice to see that you can push the benchmarks up and you're getting better performance so I really really like that with the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Now let's move over to the big bad boy Genshin Impact. As you know Genshin is that game that look it asks a lot of system and we've seen the snapdragon 8 Gen 2 really perform well so how does the snapdragon 8 Gen 2 4 Galaxy perform in the situation. So we played for 30 minutes and it ran really well very smooth no slow down whatsoever. What we got with our final frame rates was 55 frames per second. Yes you're thinking well it's not 60 that is very true. The other devices that have done 60 we've actually covered on this channel but it did 55 and I think maybe just because one of the clocks is higher I'm not exactly sure and again this is also my first test so we'll definitely check out more but I will tell you that it didn't feel like it dipped in any points in time and it only dropped down to 55 frames per second after roughly 25 minutes so 25 minute mark it started going down slowly at around the 35 minute mark I was about 55 frames per second so there you have it there with Genshin still can play that game really well I'm very solid. So playing a game like Genshin and playing games like PUBG Mobile you're going to see temperatures really rise up especially when you crank it up to the highest settings and this is where the temperatures did go up on the Galaxy S23 Ultra when playing PUBG at Ultra HD Ultra and playing for about 10 minutes, mostly a gameplay I was getting temperatures closer to around 104 degrees and when playing Genshin impact and getting up to around the 15 minute mark it got about 105 degrees and then getting closer to that 25 minute mark it got to 107 and after the 25 minute mark it stayed at 107 all the way through to around the 35 minute mark so those are the temperatures you're getting with it in that regard now Samsung hasn't really talked about any new improved temperature cooling systems even though I know they do have it but those are the temperatures I was getting on my first gameplay session now as you guys know I just got the device so I'll be doing of course my long-term gaming review to actually see how that performs over time when it comes to of course game streaming services like Xbox Game Pass works really well and of course that's where I'm using my backbone controller which works seamlessly as well as also the Razer Kishi V2 no issues there fits the device well without any adjustments needed whatsoever now some of you are going to be asking me thunder you what about battery life well this is something that I can't give you for reading because I've only had the device at this point for roughly a day and a half when this video post is pretty much two days so you're not going to be getting a good battery life judgment but I can tell you for roughly around an hour of gameplay I was getting about 15% battery loss so that I choose pretty good in terms of gameplay session now this is a mixture of course lighting games like coldly mobile apex some PUBG mobile and then of course some Genshin Impact so so far battery has been good so what does that mean for the Galaxy S23 Ultra as a gaming device first of all before I even round that up just listen to the audio of gameplay for a second first point for the red team now when you put that in mind with the audio and the mix this is a very very solid gaming device couple of things coming to mind because number one it can actually handle the games pretty well you see I handle a Genshin all the way down to of course called the mobile and your gameshimi services yes it handles emulator as well I just didn't have enough time to showcase it here I will showcase it on board gamer so take a look at it there as well as also the really good speakers we have this time with Dolby at most for gaming really gives much more supreme feel 120 hertz on the display as well as also just the vibrance that you're getting in total so you're getting a full-fudge gaming experience and they I say this might set that template for the best gaming phone of the year just putting it out there now let me know your thoughts guys you've seen the numbers you've seen the benchmark you've seen the gameplay leave your thoughts down below and if you're thinking of picking up the Galaxy S23 Ultra or any of the Galaxy S23 devices definitely use our link below you can get a hundred and fifty dollar credit to your pre-order for the purchase of the device so go ahead use that link and start gaming guys so stunned at you saying thank you and always enjoy entertainment
