Replacing Nokia 8.3 5G cuz it’s broken
I don’t know the ROG Phone 6, so can’t comment on that, but I have an S23 Ultra since Feb.
It’s a great all rounder IMO, runs super smoothly. But there are two things I like the most, the battery life (epic) and the cameras are very very good (I know you said you don’t care though…).
One other thing to keep in mind is that this will get Android updates up to 2027 and security updates until at least 2028, if you care about keeping it for a while.
do you want to primarily game on it or do you want it to be a great phone that can game? both are good options but we need to know use case to help make a good decision.
I didn’t even know Asus made an ROG phone…neat.
I’m on a Nothing Phone 1 which I can’t recommend highly enough especially given the price, though I’ll probably be updating day-one to the Nothing Phone 2 when that’s released early next month. The NP1 is more mid-range though.
Regardless of if you want to game alot or have a daily driver phone, the Samsung will be a better overall fit
The battery life is my main concern. Also not a fan of the pen and lack of headphone jack with the samsung, nor am I going to use all the cameras it has.
If it’s battery life, then you can blindly go with the ROG, it has the best (longest lasting) battery in the market

I’d take the Asus over the Samsung. Samsung phones are bloated and laggy almost as a rule. Also their UI is fucky and a pain to swap. I have a 8.3 5g as well and part of what I love is that there isn’t any bloat or fuss. You might also consider Sony for a similar experience to that.
Samsung for the software support.
that’s hilarious.
things have come a long way in the last 5 years or so. i have a lot of bad things to say about Samsung software but updates/support is good now. that being said, I’m on a pixel as a primary device at the moment so YMMV
Well, I gave up after 2 phones and 1 tablet with no updates. Peak planned obsolescence seemed to be the way they ran their business and they lost me as a customer permanently. Their appliances are even worse.
