As a reviewer I guess it's hard to do these things sometimes. Do you take the phone at its own strengths in a silo or do you compare it to an inevitably cheaper model from last year (that wasn't much of a bump on the previous either)?

This one reminds me of the 15 Pro Max. At face value it looks like they just got the CAD intern to chamfer a few edges and called it a day yet those ergonomic refinements make a big difference.

I'm still not sold on it being much of an upgrade over the S23 Ultra, which can be had for less than £600 if you shop around. But somebody with anything older is getting a nice snowballing of all those increments.
