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.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may not feature a stacked battery and 65W charging. Last April, it was reported that the company is developing advanced battery tech inspired by EVs for its mobile portfolio. However, the plan to bring it to Galaxy reportedly pushed to Galaxy S26 Ultra.
According to a rumor, Samsung canceled bringing stacked battery tech and 65W charging to Galaxy S25 Ultra. Now, it is planned for Galaxy S26 Ultra, which will arrive in 2026. The next Ultra flagship would continue 5000mAh conventional battery and 45W charging support.
Stacked battery tech would mean offering a higher energy density with a different arrangement of the cells. It will unlock even longer battery life for the Galaxy flagships. Meanwhile, Samsung fans won’t see advanced batteries in the flagship arriving next year.
The tipster mentioned that Samsung is skipping the new battery and faster charging in the S25 Ultra to reduce the cost. We’ve seen Chinese manufacturers bringing over 5000mAh battery to their recent flagships, however, Samsung still offers longer battery life.
As Snapdragon going more expensive this year, the South Korean tech giant considering expanding its Exynos to more Galaxies. The Galaxy S25 Ultra may use Snapdragon internationally could also be the reason behind the delay in stacked battery tech.
It seems that it was in the plan, but Samsung changed its mind, wanting to reduce costs and put the stacked battery and 65w charging speed in the S26U.
