This went a bit longer than expected, so if you need to use the timestamps so you can skip to wherever, then that’s absolutely no problems!
And if there are too many ads, feel free to use AdBlock or ReVanced. I try minimize them but they get added back in so all good 🙂

Greetings and welcome to another installment in the iWish series, a series in which I purchase various questionable products to see if they are any good…most of the time they are not but I buy this stuff so you don’t have to!
Except once again you folks were generous enough to donate towards seeing one of these but…each time I purchased one – the sale wouldn’t go through and I got refunded 3 times. I gave up and we decided on something else.
However I found one on Marketplace for $260 AUD that I managed to haggle down to $200 AUD.
Now folks, I bring to you all the almighty WELCOME S23 Ultra 5G thing which, is a clone of course.
What specs are in this? Does it work well?
Well, grab yourselves a drink and a snack cause you have an hour of me investigating this quite interesting WELCOME phone 🙂
