I love my S24Utra especially when I discovered the ability to add multiple video clips as my lock screen. I have my wife smiling at me on one video and another my son is playing. So every time I pickup my phone to unlock it it brings a smile to my face as I unlock it.
Former Iphone user [Just got the s24u] Ok so like i have been an iphone user for years ever since the iphone 4s came out. This week i switched to the s24u because i decided to finally get over my fan vibe for iphones and the fact that iphone software really sucks ive been through 5 iphones. The last one i had was an Iphone 11. Now considering the price of the s24u yeaaa... it will take a bit to pay off but in the long run.. i can say that this phone is so worth it. So far i have not had any battery issues. If you are having issues then maybe check for any apps running in the background. The feel of this phone is so much nicer than iphone in my opinion i also freaking love the screen protector you can get that makes the screen smudge proof. Highly recommend the privacy screen protector from T-Mobile. The camera is amazing ok taking freaking pics of the moon! THE MOON! THat zoom is insane. Making the phone perfect for Vlogging videos or professional photography. Ok, I'll stop talking now and get back to messing around on my phone. Peace!
@@TemplesOfOurGodsThere's definite AI shenanigans going on with moon pics from the S24U (this was proven), but that doesn't change the fact that its zoom is essentially unrivaled. All in all a great phone that offers way more value and functionality than any iPhone.
@@jermainemouzon4909What kind of usage do you have at work? If it's only light usage than that's pretty shit. My experience has been very inconsistent.
My S24U is arriving via FedEx tomorrow, and I am looking forward to exploring it. I have rocked my S22U for a couple of years now, and it has been a rock star of a device, so I bet the new one will be even moreso!
I have been a user of NOTE20ultra and iPhone12pro for a couple of years. Ordered my S24U and it's coming on July 10th, can't wait. It's gonna be a banger 🤩
I came from s22 ultra and I'm happy with my s24 ultra upgrade. It's soild and obv way better than s22u. Flat screen is the best upgrade in ultras plus the battery and chipset. I couldn't be happier ☺️
@jermainemouzon4909 You are absolutely right! I never have to take my charger into work with me anymore, because my phone battery goes all day with the S24!
One thing I should add though, with what you're saying, is that you have to GIVE UP a phone that's worth $550 at least to get $750 off the phone. And then you have to pay more money. So your giving up over $1,000 total, whether it's in cash or in the device your trading, you're still paying over $1,000 for the phone. At that point they will give you $750 off next year, or close to it, and you'll have to pay an extra $500 too. So basically every year you are PAYING an extra $500 to go from one ultra to the next. The next year's ultra isn't $500 better than this years. So to summarize, yes, the trade in deals are great. They give you more than your phone is worth. But you're not getting a phone for $550. You are trading in a phone worth about $550 and getting $750 for it. So you're getting an extra $200 off each year. That's the math we're looking at. Still awesome to get an extra $200 off. But that's what it practically is
Thanks! I was going to get it in a few months, but because of how awesome this is from what you showed me, I am going to anxiously wait and maintain my patience for the 25 to get here! Also, I know this is a problem for you, but I've had to buy pens for my 22+ because of my longer nails and trying to be precise when doing adjustments to photos (like drawing a line around and object to omit out, choosing a color match, filling out forms where I am handwriting them in and signing is small spaces when not pdf editable, also in doing some gaming things that need precision.

Aight now, this anti-reflective screen is something long overdue and I am in for.

I owned a s24 ultra I love it,I really don't think, that need to upgrade to the s25 ultra, specially with a 7 years of apdates,thanks Mark yor videos are great,keep making them.
I own an S24U and I agree with almost everything you've said. The only downsides of this phone for me is the grainy display on low brightness, the slow shutter speed that makes moving subjects look blurry and the colour inconsistency between the different cameras on video mode. Aside from those it really is an amazing phone! I always use the Galaxy AI and the S Pen especially for editing pictures btw. Super handy to me!

IMO, the photos on the S24 Ultra are better than the iPhone Pro Max photos based on reviews that I have read and watched. My S22 Ultra was just amazing, but the S24 Ultra has raised the bar even more. It's just crazy how good the S24 Ultra is at EVERYTHING. For example, which I use my Bose QC Ultra earbuds, I get damn near perfect connection almost all of the time, even when I am over a 100 feet away from my phone. The audio quality is superb on my earbuds. The speaker on the phone also is easily the best phone speaker I have ever heard.

Going off on a tangent I don't know why samsung didnt just make their z fold be basically a folding s24u. Almost everything about is already great and having an inner folding screen would be icing on the cake
I’ve been considering ordering one and migrating over from my 15 Pro Max. I’ve had every iPhone since the 5. I’m not new to android but it’s been a long time. Worth it?
I have been a user of NOTE20ultra and iPhone12pro for a couple of years. Ordered my S24U and it's coming on July 10th, can't wait. It's gonna be a banger 🤩
@@iLuseMy1v1s I searched on RUclips and what my gut was telling ended up being the answer. Just reset wifi and bluetooth settings. It fixed it for now.
Coming from an S21 ultra and Note 8 and a note 4, the s24 ultra is a bit disappointing. Would've kept my oneplus 12 if it wasn't for its inferior audio quality for bluetooth and wired. The s24 ultra display just looks like a step-down with its less vivid colors and the very noticeable grain. The Oneplus 12 has a much more vivid display, with also having to be accurate as well close to rec. 709 color gamute in its 10-bit display and also supports dolby vision. The battery is just fine. It's not as good as my oneplus 12 and a little bit better than my old 21 ultra. Its OS is nowhere near fluid or as snappy as Oneplus 12, iphone 15, or the pixel 8 imo. S24 ultra is a great phone but should've been a bit cheaper.
My s 24 ultra was in glove department in car. Previosly during driving glove department was chilled with ac. It was hot in car and i am worried about overheating. Phone is ok and i hope that is all fine with him. I should avoid leaving it in car.
I wanna buy a new phone but i saw so many comments about battery issues in this phone. So i stock between s24u and pixel 9 pro xl. I play CODMOBILE and i really need a good battery. There is anyone to help me plz?
My battery hpld 1 day with no problem.But after june update change to 12 hours with power saves 14 hours... i think its a bug i try every settings nothing help.Can you help what to do?😢😢😢
I just saw a Galaxy S24 in person for the first time. I expected it to be huge, but it's practically the same size (just a smidge bigger than my Samsung A13). Now I am compelled to get one.😢
I don't know if I got a dud but this is the first device that I can't use outdoors. I can see the screen for about 15 minutes and then it automatically dims so bad I can barely read it. I've tried every setting and nothing changes this. Bragging how bright this display is means nothing when you can't even get it to be that bright. I can't wait to get rid of it. Hopefully the Zfold6 won't have this issue. My Zfold5 didn't so I'm hopeful.
Hey Mark, this might be a bit of a random question since it's not about the S24U, but would you happen to know (aside from battery size & camera I'm assuming) what the difference will be between the S25 & S25U? I've never really felt the need for the Ultra version of any galaxy phone, but I would like to have the S25 and all the capabilities that come with it (including AI), so I would be a little bummed if certain software/processing power may be cut back in the "less premium" models. No worries if this is unknown or you're not sure. Thanks for your time. Great video btw-had I seen this last week, I would've considered getting an S24 instead of fixing my S20 lol
Hey! Aside from cameras, battery, and possibly ram - the differences won’t be noticeable. But this is just speculation for now. We’ll find out on July 11th! :)
Hello Mark. If you could get 1 of the following phones for free, which one would you choose IF the main factor is the camera and the photos? I am not playing on the phone, so the chipset is not important. ( Apple is not playing )
I had this phone for 4 days before trading it in for my iPhone 15 pro max. However, I regret that choice now. lol. But I do enjoy my iPhone but my wife and daughter have the 24u and I do get jealous at their features.
Great video as always! I love the phone, just rhe camera has been letting me down since the last update. The photos from the 200 or 50 megapixel look so overprocessed. Not sure if anyone else is facing the same issue.
So many people complain about battery but i have never faced issues with battery , i use battery protection, my real issue with the phone is Indoor low light performance it takes huge hit compared to what it does in day time . Photos are grainy , auto focus is just wierd feels like a phone without OIS. Hope next update fixes it because when i bought it in January it was very good
Hmm.. seems that these phones are not doing that good sales wise. That explains the deep discounts Samsung gives from time to time (even at launch?). Would not trust to get much after a year if I sell it or trade it in ( besides Samsung) for newer tech. Here’s a tip. When you visit remote areas like that take the iPhone 15 PM with you… you know for that satellite connection in case you need it! Cheers!
U sound like a straight Samsung hater. So, the connection is better on the Samsung phone , but all u say is satellite connection. So u going to use that 24/7?.. bar is set with the s24 ultra, not no garbage iPhone, buddy. Get used to it..
@@pedrovelezjr5195 No need for name calling ’buddy’ I have both and I am able to compare myself. Not hating on Samsung and I love the technology and innovation behind their products. It is just when compared to IOS that there is no comparison. IOS app implementation is way ahead of the pack in my opinion.
I never hated an iPhone more than my 15PM it overheats for anything I can’t use the camera outdoors cause like you said in the video the display gets so dim you can’t see anything then camera starts to lag like I never seen before. I’m planning to switch to Samsung S24U or maybe the next Pixel 9 Pro XL.
Darn, the S23U still has a lot of the same software/AI features, but the SCREEN might make the upgrade worth it all by itself. Only six more months tho... or a fold 6...??? Decisions Decisions... USE MY S-PEN ALL THE TIME FOR SELFIES & Magic Wanding Photo/Video, Note taking, website hover/mouse functionality, zoom, etc., etc., love it :D
Ok, so explain to me because I just don’t get it…. What are you going to do with the s24U that makes it so exciting over the iPhone? I have both the s24U and 15PM and I’m just not seeing where this “excitement” of use is coming from, the both do the same thing, with minor differences….sure the s24U has some screen capabilities where the iPhone doesn’t but is that exciting? Does that make it lots of fun to use? Not for me it doesn’t, so just what are you doing or going to do with the s24U that’ll make it so much more fun and exciting???
I'm back on an iPhone 15 pro max...wanted to try out ios 18. It's a big step in the right direction but not better than android...but questioning whether I will go back to my android phones once iOS has RCS
Battery life... nobody seems to know this for some reason, but when I purchase a new phone I use what battery percentage is on the phone drain it all the way to zero charge it to 100 and repeat 2 or 3 times and then turn on the battery optimization and it works incredibly well.
This is just bs. There's no actual basis for this having a positive effect. In fact there's nothing worse for modern smartphone battery life than draining the battery all the way down to zero. The next worst thing is charging it to a 100%.
Ive had the S24 Ultra for a week ans love it EXCEPT for this stupid USB C ear bud sound issue. Even if i pause a RUclips video and then restart the audio starts coming out of the speakers. Im hearing this is a known issue. They need to fix this quick.
I was looking forward to getting the S24ULTRA but the "No 10X optical zoom" ruined my plan. I know S24ULTRA's camera is good but the zoom performance seems more AI processed as compared to the S23ULTRA. I finally grabbed the VivoX100Pro and the camera performance is better in particular the night photography and 10X zoom shots.
viewing angles of that display on s24ultra are so bad. It has visible temperature shift even if you look at it at straight angle (top part is colder, bottom is warmer)
Pure junk! Screen issues, WFI issues, overheating, old games not running. Camera sucks as down grade from S22. Not linking with Auto play in car. Love all the fake reviews and deleting bad reviews. NO more Samsung as going to Apple after 15 years....! Bet you delete this review with all the other negative reviews.....
I have been a user of NOTE20ultra and iPhone12pro for a couple of years. Ordered my S24U and it's coming on July 10th, can't wait. It's gonna be a banger 🤩
I m so scared to buy an S24 ultra bc of the battery issues I've heard people having. And when I bought my S20+ I had battery issues, luckily I was able to give back the faulty phone after a few months.
If the phones battery wasn't dog shit might be phone or the year. Battery life is terrible and for me that's a deal breaker. When I have to charge it by 3pm and with that slow charge rate it's a joke. For a phone this expensive. I'm sorry but a flagship phone battery should last all day no questions asked. Personally I sold mine and picked a Nubia z60 ultra. For $720 you get a 6,000mah battery, uninterrupted no notch display, 16gb of RAM 512gb storage, body heavy design, ir blaster, near stock Android with some cool Nubia features built in oh and an amazing camera system that's on par and in some cases surpasses the s24U. 11hrs SOT. Samsung dropped the ball. It could have been an amazing phone what's good with it if It dies mid day. don't care about slow ass witless charge. Just give us a bigger battery with at least 60w fast charging.
I was gonna wait for the s25 ultra but i just broke my s23 ultra so i traded it to verizon to get the s24 ultra in violet and i can tell a big difference
It's a shady victory, really. Half of the competitors wouldn't bother to release their phone to Westerners due to fear of sanctions. Samsung primarily follows Apple's footsteps. And Apple itself isn't doing much of work. Let's face it, S24U won merely due to lack of any decent competition, not because it's an awesome device. Slow charging (sure, for Americans that's lighting fast, but we got used to 120 w chargers for years), dodgy software updates that deteriorate user experience, camera performance and battery life, heavily throttled S8G3, outdated screen technology with new problems (graininess in low brightness, green lines), outdated camera hardware. I'd rather give the win to OP 12 - it's a helluva bang for the buck
In s23ultra due to curve it is not easy to protect always if you use uv glass glass will not remain longer I have same problem then I sold my s23 ultra due to curve
Spen is good for photos and videos. Also to sign documents... I also use it sometime to just change up the navigating the net instead my finger...don't use it much but love that it's there. Dex also still under promoted and used. I need a new laptop but barely use it and it's old... I'll be just getting a monitor and using Dex going forward. One device for everything. That's the future ,today.
The only thing that is wrong with the S24 Ultra that if it comes with the S25 ultra I will not buy it is the anti reflection coating. The S24 Ultra display is bad. I didn't know until I bought the sibling the S24. Once a screen is bright you don't get reflection on it
I had the s24U for 6 months and it was great, one thing prevent me from using it is the battery is not as good as the review, it was barely 6 hours, I went to 15 promax and its idle time is amazing. Hope that the Fold 6 has a great battery and more user friendly AI function that I can come back to samsung again.
Have one also for 6 month and battery is great,7.30h-8h hours easy,.15pro max was not that good for me,just about 6h of battery barely, also IOS is just too limited for everything, just not for me, also overheats outside at summer time, so i switched to s24 ultra and no more back,it's just a beast!
@@anthony_r985 agreed on that, I dont know why my device got so little battery compare to other, went to reddit and found some ppl facing the same thing, tried everything but not work, so I returned it.
i also sold my s23u for 600€ (i paid around the same amount 14 months ago) and bought the s24u 512gb for 749€ on offer from samsung, after a 300€ cashback. it's almost a no brainer to upgrade when paying these prices.
Damn bro. 😎 I have never heard anyone say this about Samsung Vs. Apple and I think you are so CORRECT ✅ bro. One of the main reasons I hate iOS and Apple 🍎 even though I have all their stuff is it really never ends with Apple they just take and take and take and charge more 💰💸🤑for like everything. Samsung is like the last honest phone 📱 and it is an everything phone. 📱 you can do so much with it. Because Samsung designed it that way. Don’t get it twisted Apple 🍎 could do the same thing but if they did then there sales would fall of a cliff. Straight FIRE 🔥 thoughts bro. Ps. I can’t even use my iPhone 📱 in the direct sunlight because it just dims or overheats.

i switched back to iphone, 15 pro to be exact. Reasons? apple pay, apps more optimised for ios..and a few minor reasons
Going off on a tangent I don't know why samsung didnt just make their z fold be basically a folding s24u. Almost everything about is already great and having an inner folding screen would be icing on the cake
I’ve been considering ordering one and migrating over from my 15 Pro Max. I’ve had every iPhone since the 5. I’m not new to android but it’s been a long time. Worth it?
hell yeah. im switching to the s24 ultra as well depending on how the fold 6 looks
I have been a user of NOTE20ultra and iPhone12pro for a couple of years. Ordered my S24U and it's coming on July 10th, can't wait. It's gonna be a banger 🤩
No not worth it. You will hate it.
@@sharerofmanyBullshit. You can't really go wrong with the S24 U even if it's not perfect.
Does anyone know why some apps don't want to work on a specific WIFI connection? Or has anyone had the same issue and found a solution?
I would ask on Samsung members are on the Samsung subreddit. I have not heard of this.
@@iLuseMy1v1s I searched on RUclips and what my gut was telling ended up being the answer. Just reset wifi and bluetooth settings. It fixed it for now.
Hello, how can you explain all the complains about the Galaxy S24 ULTRA overheating? cant seem to find a reliable source before purchasing one.....
Coming from an S21 ultra and Note 8 and a note 4, the s24 ultra is a bit disappointing. Would've kept my oneplus 12 if it wasn't for its inferior audio quality for bluetooth and wired. The s24 ultra display just looks like a step-down with its less vivid colors and the very noticeable grain. The Oneplus 12 has a much more vivid display, with also having to be accurate as well close to rec. 709 color gamute in its 10-bit display and also supports dolby vision. The battery is just fine. It's not as good as my oneplus 12 and a little bit better than my old 21 ultra. Its OS is nowhere near fluid or as snappy as Oneplus 12, iphone 15, or the pixel 8 imo. S24 ultra is a great phone but should've been a bit cheaper.
Does the 24 plus have the same grainy problem?
My s 24 ultra was in glove department in car. Previosly during driving glove department was chilled with ac. It was hot in car and i am worried about overheating. Phone is ok and i hope that is all fine with him. I should avoid leaving it in car.
I wanna buy a new phone but i saw so many comments about battery issues in this phone.
So i stock between s24u and pixel 9 pro xl.
I play CODMOBILE and i really need a good battery.
There is anyone to help me plz?
I bought this phone for vacation photos (Hawai'i). Best decision ever!! The level of detail in my photos is insane!!
My battery hpld 1 day with no problem.But after june update change to 12 hours with power saves 14 hours... i think its a bug i try every settings nothing help.Can you help what to do?😢😢😢
Hey Mark, Thanks for posting this video
I just saw a Galaxy S24 in person for the first time. I expected it to be huge, but it's practically the same size (just a smidge bigger than my Samsung A13). Now I am compelled to get one.😢
Which tempered glass should i use to take advantage of anti reflecting? suggest me one!
I don't know if I got a dud but this is the first device that I can't use outdoors. I can see the screen for about 15 minutes and then it automatically dims so bad I can barely read it. I've tried every setting and nothing changes this. Bragging how bright this display is means nothing when you can't even get it to be that bright. I can't wait to get rid of it. Hopefully the Zfold6 won't have this issue. My Zfold5 didn't so I'm hopeful.
the boxy design makes it stand out
Hi I have a s24 Ultra but it heats up alot and I don't know y but it also heats up when I'm using the camera any tips on this I'd appreciate it
Should I get the Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra or wait for the Pixel 9 Pro XL?
Hey brother. At the end the sample photos or video are black. Just so you know.
Hey Mark, this might be a bit of a random question since it's not about the S24U, but would you happen to know (aside from battery size & camera I'm assuming) what the difference will be between the S25 & S25U? I've never really felt the need for the Ultra version of any galaxy phone, but I would like to have the S25 and all the capabilities that come with it (including AI), so I would be a little bummed if certain software/processing power may be cut back in the "less premium" models.
No worries if this is unknown or you're not sure. Thanks for your time. Great video btw-had I seen this last week, I would've considered getting an S24 instead of fixing my S20 lol
Hey! Aside from cameras, battery, and possibly ram - the differences won’t be noticeable. But this is just speculation for now.
We’ll find out on July 11th! :)
Which new update made the battery like before?do you mean security update?
Hello Mark. If you could get 1 of the following phones for free, which one would you choose IF the main factor is the camera and the photos? I am not playing on the phone, so the chipset is not important. ( Apple is not playing )
I had this phone for 4 days before trading it in for my iPhone 15 pro max. However, I regret that choice now. lol. But I do enjoy my iPhone but my wife and daughter have the 24u and I do get jealous at their features.
Great video as always! I love the phone, just rhe camera has been letting me down since the last update. The photos from the 200 or 50 megapixel look so overprocessed. Not sure if anyone else is facing the same issue.
I'm also facing the same
Everyone with the update is facing the same thing, it’s horrible and unusable.
A lots of people dont check and close the gps who stays on and the automatic brightness
I get a new one every and I like all new improvements. I still want even brighter in bright sun and i want it automatic..
I absolutely l9ve my s24 ultra my battery is awesome i couldn't be more happier with it ❤
So many people complain about battery but i have never faced issues with battery , i use battery protection, my real issue with the phone is Indoor low light performance it takes huge hit compared to what it does in day time . Photos are grainy , auto focus is just wierd feels like a phone without OIS. Hope next update fixes it because when i bought it in January it was very good
Nice video. Are you gonna do videos on the Z Fold 6?
Hmm.. seems that these phones are not doing that good sales wise. That explains the deep discounts Samsung gives from time to time (even at launch?). Would not trust to get much after a year if I sell it or trade it in ( besides Samsung) for newer tech. Here’s a tip. When you visit remote areas like that take the iPhone 15 PM with you… you know for that satellite connection in case you need it! Cheers!
U sound like a straight Samsung hater. So, the connection is better on the Samsung phone , but all u say is satellite connection. So u going to use that 24/7?.. bar is set with the s24 ultra, not no garbage iPhone, buddy. Get used to it..
@@pedrovelezjr5195 No need for name calling ’buddy’ I have both and I am able to compare myself. Not hating on Samsung and I love the technology and innovation behind their products. It is just when compared to IOS that there is no comparison. IOS app implementation is way ahead of the pack in my opinion.
Samsung offers fantastic deals at launch every year. ( Enhanced trade in deals ) That's why i trade in because the deals are so good.
I never hated an iPhone more than my 15PM it overheats for anything I can’t use the camera outdoors cause like you said in the video the display gets so dim you can’t see anything then camera starts to lag like I never seen before. I’m planning to switch to Samsung S24U or maybe the next Pixel 9 Pro XL.
Muh "smooth iOS user experience"
I am having trouble with sending videos they come out pixilated even when i send to another android, can anyone help ???
Darn, the S23U still has a lot of the same software/AI features, but the SCREEN might make the upgrade worth it all by itself. Only six more months tho... or a fold 6...??? Decisions Decisions... USE MY S-PEN ALL THE TIME FOR SELFIES & Magic Wanding Photo/Video, Note taking, website hover/mouse functionality, zoom, etc., etc., love it :D
The mic on my keyboard just disappeared. My s24u feels like it's in beta.
The only problem with S24 is GPS, it tends to lose satellite connection quite often
I want this phone 📱 it actually does so much take it from me I have an iPhone and it’s straight BORING AF.
Ok, so explain to me because I just don’t get it…. What are you going to do with the s24U that makes it so exciting over the iPhone? I have both the s24U and 15PM and I’m just not seeing where this “excitement” of use is coming from, the both do the same thing, with minor differences….sure the s24U has some screen capabilities where the iPhone doesn’t but is that exciting? Does that make it lots of fun to use? Not for me it doesn’t, so just what are you doing or going to do with the s24U that’ll make it so much more fun and exciting???
@@robhughes8516 Which battery life is better out of the 2 phones that you own?
@@robhughes8516I got a iPhones it’s not all that like people make it out to be
For me what I like using the s pen for was editing my videos.
I'm back on an iPhone 15 pro max...wanted to try out ios 18. It's a big step in the right direction but not better than android...but questioning whether I will go back to my android phones once iOS has RCS
im using the beta for ios 18 and the rcs works. cant wait to switch to the s24 ultra
Battery life... nobody seems to know this for some reason, but when I purchase a new phone I use what battery percentage is on the phone drain it all the way to zero charge it to 100 and repeat 2 or 3 times and then turn on the battery optimization and it works incredibly well.
Used to be common knowledge that ya don’t keep phones plunged in all day but now that seems to be the norm….
This is just bs. There's no actual basis for this having a positive effect. In fact there's nothing worse for modern smartphone battery life than draining the battery all the way down to zero. The next worst thing is charging it to a 100%.
The same with iPhone the battery was really good then updates make it bad going back to Samsung my favorite phone
Your content is always the best 🎉
Thank you!!
Well, I hardly use S-Pen either though I do use it for signing documents directly on my phone and saving pdf and emailing right back or uploading
I switched from iPhone to S24 ultra - i ❤ it!!!😊
i also noticed i always have 5g in my home compared to my s23 ultra which just showed 4g+
Ive had the S24 Ultra for a week ans love it EXCEPT for this stupid USB C ear bud sound issue. Even if i pause a RUclips video and then restart the audio starts coming out of the speakers. Im hearing this is a known issue. They need to fix this quick.
The Galaxy S 2 had the best Display to me the first one ever.
Hi, what of the Pixel 8 pro? You didn’t show it in your collection 😜
I sold it 😂
@@MarksTechwhyyyee😩
I was looking forward to getting the S24ULTRA but the "No 10X optical zoom" ruined my plan. I know S24ULTRA's camera is good but the zoom performance seems more AI processed as compared to the S23ULTRA. I finally grabbed the VivoX100Pro and the camera performance is better in particular the night photography and 10X zoom shots.
I ordered the s24u 512gb for $849 which i think is a good deal espcially without any trade in. Hoping its good for me
I bought the S24 Ultra (1TB) when it came out. Now, the S25 Ultra will hit the market soon, what to do.
But that one too
Watching with My LG V60 😅 I Just hope will hold up for another year before I decide on Samsung S Ultra or Pixel Pro 😅😅😅
viewing angles of that display on s24ultra are so bad. It has visible temperature shift even if you look at it at straight angle (top part is colder, bottom is warmer)
Pure junk! Screen issues, WFI issues, overheating, old games not running. Camera sucks as down grade from S22. Not linking with Auto play in car. Love all the fake reviews and deleting bad reviews. NO more Samsung as going to Apple after 15 years....! Bet you delete this review with all the other negative reviews.....
Am watching with my galaxy s 24 ultra 512 gb
Should’ve got the 1TB
I have been a user of NOTE20ultra and iPhone12pro for a couple of years. Ordered my S24U and it's coming on July 10th, can't wait. It's gonna be a banger 🤩
How are you finding the display so far? And is there any grainy screen issue in low brightness?
I too madly in ❤ with S24ultra
The anti-reflective display is pointless if you use a screen protector, which most people will do, especially those who pay retail for them.
I m so scared to buy an S24 ultra bc of the battery issues I've heard people having. And when I bought my S20+ I had battery issues, luckily I was able to give back the faulty phone after a few months.
Man the hell up and just buy it
@@marxman300What a stupid thing to say holy shit
If the phones battery wasn't dog shit might be phone or the year. Battery life is terrible and for me that's a deal breaker. When I have to charge it by 3pm and with that slow charge rate it's a joke. For a phone this expensive. I'm sorry but a flagship phone battery should last all day no questions asked. Personally I sold mine and picked a Nubia z60 ultra. For $720 you get a 6,000mah battery, uninterrupted no notch display, 16gb of RAM 512gb storage, body heavy design, ir blaster, near stock Android with some cool Nubia features built in oh and an amazing camera system that's on par and in some cases surpasses the s24U. 11hrs SOT. Samsung dropped the ball. It could have been an amazing phone what's good with it if It dies mid day. don't care about slow ass witless charge. Just give us a bigger battery with at least 60w fast charging.
I was gonna wait for the s25 ultra but i just broke my s23 ultra so i traded it to verizon to get the s24 ultra in violet and i can tell a big difference
It's a shady victory, really. Half of the competitors wouldn't bother to release their phone to Westerners due to fear of sanctions. Samsung primarily follows Apple's footsteps. And Apple itself isn't doing much of work.
Let's face it, S24U won merely due to lack of any decent competition, not because it's an awesome device.
Slow charging (sure, for Americans that's lighting fast, but we got used to 120 w chargers for years), dodgy software updates that deteriorate user experience, camera performance and battery life, heavily throttled S8G3, outdated screen technology with new problems (graininess in low brightness, green lines), outdated camera hardware.
I'd rather give the win to OP 12 - it's a helluva bang for the buck
Wait it has battery life of 7 hours activity because my s22 life is 8 hours without me using the phone. Just having the phone on
8 hours without activity is horrendous battery life. We're talking about 7 h of screen on time, which is how battery life is measured.
My phone is producing every image with effects
You can turn that off
1440p and 1080p are very close
I just got it from Amazon renewed !! Impeccable state and after all the updates - still hasnt notice issue with screen vibrancy, battery or bugs!
Mark what do u think about a55 ?
I haven’t used it, but I hear a lot of good things about it!
Good screen bad chip
I'll get slated for this but I hope the s25 is even bigger
Should I buy the S24 Ultra or the S23 Ultra? Please guide me.
In s23ultra due to curve it is not easy to protect always if you use uv glass glass will not remain longer I have same problem then I sold my s23 ultra due to curve
AT&T gave me $1000 for my s20 ultra and ive had it repaired and replaced twice in 4 years
Better than the S23U?
Spen is good for photos and videos. Also to sign documents... I also use it sometime to just change up the navigating the net instead my finger...don't use it much but love that it's there. Dex also still under promoted and used. I need a new laptop but barely use it and it's old... I'll be just getting a monitor and using Dex going forward. One device for everything. That's the future ,today.
Just got this on upgrade from.s21 fe
Good phone but for now I'm enjoying my SIM in the OnePlus 12
The s24 ultra and OnePlus 12 are *insane*
In fact, they are both on my list of phone of the year so far.
Same here
The only thing that is wrong with the S24 Ultra that if it comes with the S25 ultra I will not buy it is the anti reflection coating. The S24 Ultra display is bad. I didn't know until I bought the sibling the S24. Once a screen is bright you don't get reflection on it
This is not true at all. If not S24 is in dark mode and it's bright and sunny out I get reflections like crazy.
Yeah i think you got the clone or fake 24 uktra
and he walks with airpods pro hahahahah
I've seen drop tests of both the base S24 and the ultra..... The base NEVER CRACKED.... the ultra.... We'll...
I had the s24U for 6 months and it was great, one thing prevent me from using it is the battery is not as good as the review, it was barely 6 hours, I went to 15 promax and its idle time is amazing. Hope that the Fold 6 has a great battery and more user friendly AI function that I can come back to samsung again.
Did you hear the men? Battery is no longer the issue, it was solved with the latest SW update. It was an issue for couple of months tho.
Have one also for 6 month and battery is great,7.30h-8h hours easy,.15pro max was not that good for me,just about 6h of battery barely, also IOS is just too limited for everything, just not for me, also overheats outside at summer time, so i switched to s24 ultra and no more back,it's just a beast!
how much screen on time were you getting
@@jacobshhm i am an Android user for 10 year, but if you use both phone, 15 promax is the way to go for the battery, although it's boring to use
@@anthony_r985 agreed on that, I dont know why my device got so little battery compare to other, went to reddit and found some ppl facing the same thing, tried everything but not work, so I returned it.
The camera does not look better looks the same
Samsung user here. This review sounds like a paid Samsung advertisement.
I traded it my Galaxy S21 Ultra, Samsung gave me 600$ 😂 what a deal!! End it up paying 740$ with 512GB storage
i also sold my s23u for 600€ (i paid around the same amount 14 months ago) and bought the s24u 512gb for 749€ on offer from samsung, after a 300€ cashback. it's almost a no brainer to upgrade when paying these prices.
I love my s24 ultra I'm agree with you
Camera can be improved
Damn bro. 😎 I have never heard anyone say this about Samsung Vs. Apple and I think you are so CORRECT ✅ bro. One of the main reasons I hate iOS and Apple 🍎 even though I have all their stuff is it really never ends with Apple they just take and take and take and charge more 💰💸🤑for like everything. Samsung is like the last honest phone 📱 and it is an everything phone. 📱 you can do so much with it. Because Samsung designed it that way. Don’t get it twisted Apple 🍎 could do the same thing but if they did then there sales would fall of a cliff. Straight FIRE 🔥 thoughts bro. Ps. I can’t even use my iPhone 📱 in the direct sunlight because it just dims or overheats.
