Certified Refurbished Samsung S23 Ultra Smartphones

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is the most powerful phone from Samsung's 2023 edition smartphone collection, and it's still one of the most innovative phones on the market years after its release date. This phone is often referred to as a "phablet" because it's bigger than the typical smartphone yet smaller than a standard tablet. With a display size of nearly seven inches, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a big enough screen to watch movies and play your favorite games, yet it's still small enough to fit into a coat pocket or purse.

If you'd rather not pay full price for the S23 Ultra, Gazelle is here to help! You can save big with a certified refurbished Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, getting the functionality of a new phone for the purchase price of a used one. You even have the option to purchase an unlocked phone that works with any carrier or a locked phone specifically for your chosen wireless provider. What's not to like about that?

What makes the Galaxy S23 Ultra such a popular product?

There are several reasons for the ongoing popularity of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, starting with its camera setup.

Industry-Leading Cameras

While the standard Galaxy S23 and the S23+ include a built-in 50 MP wide-sensor main camera, the Galaxy S23 Ultra packs a whopping 200 MP camera instead — it's still one of the most impressive cameras available in a smartphone. The S23 Ultra also adds a second 10 MP telephoto sensor (the standard S23 and S23+ only have one).

The S23 Ultra's camera system is even more impressive when you compare it to iPhone cameras. Even the iPhone 16 models (including the Pro and Pro Max) only offer a 48 MP wide-angle lens and a 12 MP ultra-wide lens. While these cameras are also capable of producing high-quality images, they fall far short of the 200 MP camera you'll find in the S23 Ultra. For that matter, even the standard model of Samsung Galaxy S23 has more megapixels in its cameras than the very best phone that Apple has ever created.

In short, if photography is important to you, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better phone for your needs than the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Powerful Processors and Punchy Performance

The S23 Ultra has an incredibly impressive chipset under the hood, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Generation 2 system-on-chip (SoC) and an Octa-Core CPU — yes, that means it has eight processors! Few competing products pack as much punch as the S23 Ultra's chipset. You can feel the difference when you use the phone, as it has silky-smooth rendering and virtually no waiting time for any of its functions.

Battery life is another big advantage of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. This phone includes a 5,000 mAh lithium-ion battery, the most powerful smartphone battery ever used in a Samsung phone (even the Galaxy S25 Ultra hasn't upgraded this aspect). The Galaxy S23 Ultra also offers super-fast charging with a capacity of 45W — the standard S23 only offers a maximum of 25W.

A Vibrant, Detailed Display and High-Quality Sound

We already mentioned that the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a large screen at 6.8 viewable inches, but that doesn't paint the full picture of this phone's top-quality display. While the other S23 phones have a resolution of 2340x1080, the S23 Ultra offers an otherworldly 3088x1440 pixels. Everything displayed behind the phone's glass front is crystal clear and bursting with color — it's truly one of the best screens you'll find on any handheld device.

In addition, the display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, providing much-improved drop performance, even on rough surfaces. It's manufactured using recycled materials, making it a more eco-friendly phone than many competitors offer, especially if you buy a certified refurbished model from our online store! Customers also appreciate the phone's One UI interface, which Samsung created specifically to make phones with large screens easier to use.

Most smartphones aren't exactly known for their sound quality, but Samsung made a serious effort to change this perspective with the S23 Ultra. This product offers a pair of Dolby Atmos stereo speakers that replicate the same surround sound technology you find at movie theaters and sports bars. Imagine having such high-quality sound on such a small product! With the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, this dream becomes reality.

Plenty of Options

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra offers a wide variety of customizable features to satisfy even the pickiest of shoppers. It's available in nine colors, including Phantom Black, Cream, Green, Lavender, BMW M Edition (only available in Korea), Graphite, Lime, Sky Blue, and Red. It has all the connectivity options you could ever want, including Bluetooth integration, Wi-Fi, and 5G.

You can choose between three storage sizes, ranging from 256 GB to a full 1 TB. Similar to the S23 Ultra's super-powered battery, the 1-TB version has the highest storage capacity ever offered by Samsung.

Accessories for Every Use Case

Are you one of those people who needs all the latest and greatest accessories for your phone? You'll love the S23 Ultra, as it's compatible with Samsung's best accessories. For instance, you can use Samsung's highly popular S Pen Pro attachment, and Samsung even makes the Galaxy S23 Ultra S Pen specifically for use with this product!

If you're a fan of crystal-clear sound, you'll love Samsung's Galaxy Buds line of earbuds. From the entry-level Galaxy Buds FE (which cost around $100) to the top-of-the-line Galaxy Buds3 Pro (for roughly $250), Samsung has earbuds for every user.

You can even pair the S23 Ultra with the Samsung Watch6 or Watch6 Classic, powering your everyday wellness journey. Not a watch wearer? Try the new Samsung Galaxy Ring instead — it's also compatible with the S23 Ultra.

Samsung offers eight different cases for the S23 Ultra, including the Rugged Gadget Case, Clear Gadget Case, Leather Case, Silicone Grip Case, S-View Wallet Case, Frame Case, Silicone Case, and Clear Case. In short, you won't need to resort to third-party cases when you have such a wide variety of first-party Samsung cases to choose from.

Get a like-new phone with a one-year extended warranty

Here at Gazelle, we believe everyone should have access to the best new tech without spending an arm and a leg to get it. Furthermore, there's nothing worse than sending a perfectly functional item to the landfill when it has several years of top-notch performance left.

Our environmentally friendly process starts with the purchase of used smartphones and tablets. You can even trade in your current device to get money toward your new Galaxy S23 Ultra! We conduct a 55-point inspection on every product we sell, making sure that it functions just as well as a brand-new phone. Once we verify its functionality and restore it to its original factory settings, we list it for sale at a fraction of the retail price.

We even include a one-year warranty with each product we sell! That's right, you can buy a certified refurbished S23 Ultra from Gazelle and get the same 12-month warranty period that you would get from Samsung if you bought a brand-new device. Through our partners at WarrantyLife, we gladly cover accidental damage — drops, cracks, water damage, etc. — and much more with a minimal $50 deductible. WarrantyLife even processes the majority of claims in just two business days (or less!).

Gazelle offers better value than a trade-in with your wireless carrier

Trading in your used tech for credit on a new product is a tried-and-true method for making new tech a little bit more affordable. However, you're still essentially paying full price for your new item in this scenario, and in many cases, you're also still tied to a monthly device payment contract with your wireless provider.

With Gazelle, you save a significant amount of upfront money, and there's no lengthy contract to deal with! You simply choose which certified refurbished product you want and pay a fraction of the retail price for it. It's just that easy!
