I have been using s23 ultra since released in 2023. The phone has been working flawlessly until this past weekend, exactly 3 years. The phone has no damage and had always been in a case. It shutdown while I was browsing and started bootloops. I am typing this on my s10.. a 7 years old thats working. From googleing, the issue is quite common due to hardware failure for this generation.
 
S23 Ultra boot loops are frequently diagnosed as hardware failures (motherboard or RAM/CPU) requiring advanced, microsoldering repairs. Some users have temporarily fixed the issue by applying pressure to the motherboard, particularly near the wireless charging connectors, hinting at a faulty solder joint or component failure. 

Many reports and community discussions indicate that some Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra units suffer from a motherboard soldering failure, specifically affecting the CPU and RAM connections. This issue often mimics a dead battery or software bricking but is fundamentally a hardware defect.

My s23 started doing boot loops right after I downloaded an update to Nova Launcher. Which is why I've uninstalled Nova after 10 years. If you run Nova and just updated it, uninstall it and start rebuilding it using 8.0. I've learned some great stuff.

Yesterday i got the same issue my S23 ultra was sitting on table i started using it opened amazon app and it suddenly frozen and restarted it self and when into boot loop when i plug it in it boot loops if i remove charging it stop responding not turning on not a single damage to the phone clean as brand new and still this issue it is not good. 

Samsung expert says motherboard will be replaced which is gonna cost alot so we recommend you buy S26 ultra. Nice ways of samsung to sell there new products why giving out faulty updates which damages hardware and then we need to pay to get repairs or buy new and it always seen happenings after warranty or extensions are expired

Any repair would cost more than to buy a new device. The devices areny made like they used to. My s7 and s10 are still alive and kicking. My 23 ultra is now a brick...
