Looking for the ultimate Android phone? The Galaxy S24 Ultra has been out for a while, and in this video, I dive deep after using it for 6 months. We're talking about the game-changing anti-reflective display, the unbelievable battery life that lasts, and the super-powered S Pen that makes this phone a productivity beast ( for some )
But that's not all! I also cover the incredible camera system, future-proof 7 years of software updates, blazing-fast data speeds and connectivity, the ultra-tough Gorilla Glass, and surprisingly, no overheating issues. I even explore Samsung's AI features to see if they live up to the hype (spoiler-alert, I only use a couple)
Is the Galaxy S24 Ultra still the king of Android phones? Watch to find out! This video is packed with real-world experience to help you decide if this is the right phone for you.

In my case the battery is fine, those who mention having a short duration should check the apps that run in the background.
This..I can go to work for eight hours, and still go back home with a little over 50% battery life.
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!

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. And yes, hitting snap on a picture on a stand is wonderful).
Thanks again! I'm subscribed to you now because I really liked your brief but more than informative post. 😊
@jamie_making_turns I have it, i must warn you don't take this review as the one all be all check other reviews i have s24 ultra and i know you'll hardly believe me but the phones has alot of issues like ALOT idk if it's software or hardware issues and it's unacceptable for a 1500$ phone
@@KneedsG Let them find out for themselfs.
@smitjee and waste money? ... i don't want others to experience what i have which is regret, not all of us could afford to spend 2000 dollars easily some people save money for months to buy these phones
Aight now, this anti-reflective screen is something long overdue and I am in for. I'm a photographer and I certainly cannot stand trying to capture something outdoors in high desert socal where it is sunny even with my polarized glasses It is a no-go, unable. You have my attention on this one. I'm in cahoots with spectrum and they have them ready to ship. I'm digging it so far. Currently S21+.
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!
Likewise. Waiting for my S24U (after using note20Ultra for years) coming on July 10th. Can't wait 😊
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 ☺️
You will definitely enjoy the battery life. The S22 series has the worse battery of the recent flagships.
@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!
I am having trouble with sending videos they come out pixilated even when i send to another android, can anyone help ???
The s24 u dark glass for bright outdoors makes a big difference wish my s23 Ultra had that
Agreed! That small feature makes a MASSIVE difference in everyday life
are you referring to the *anti-glare screen*?
@ItsMeZendra yes and I've tested it makes a huge difference outdoors
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.
Nice video. Are you gonna do videos on the Z Fold 6?
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.
Mark, Thank you for this job; S24 Ultra is a great phone. I got one and, it works great... from 🇨🇷
Hey Mark, Thanks for posting this video
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 )
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 had it and loved it, switched back to iPhone for work and family stuff, totally regret that lol. The s24 ultra was the best phone I ever had
What work related things did you do on your iPhone that you couldn’t do on the s24?
@@Silent-Witnesswell mostly it was because of other people’s iPhone not being capable or easily capable of interacting with my phone. So I did marketing and auditing but sometimes needed to use FaceTime when I was traveling for my boss because he couldn’t be at the locations. Anyways, iPhone users are so bad with just downloading apps that work with android, so I decided to make life simple and switch back to iPhone. Anyways, life has not been simpler being back lol 😂 there were other things that didn’t jive well with everyone I needed to work with. Also, one thing I will complain about with android was no matter what phone I used my google maps really slowed down my phones for some reason. I would turn on google maps and my phone like lagged so bad. I hope they fixed that because next ultra im getting
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.
@@ChadH2023 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.
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!
the boxy design makes it stand out
Hey brother. At the end the sample photos or video are black. Just so you know.
A lots of people dont check and close the gps who stays on and the automatic brightness
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 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.
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.
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.
Which new update made the battery like before?do you mean security update?
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.
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
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! :)
The mic on my keyboard just disappeared. My s24u feels like it's in beta.
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..
Watching with My LG V60 😅 I Just hope will hold up for another year before I decide on Samsung S Ultra or Pixel Pro 😅😅😅
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 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.
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.
The only problem with S24 is GPS, it tends to lose satellite connection quite often
Upgraded from OnePlus 9 Pro to S24U 1TB like month ago, oneplus and their software feels so much behind now.
U should get the OP 12, and u would see how much the samsung software is behind
@@MoneyMichx7 same bad colorOS android, doubt hardware makes it any better
@@Legitti doubt it tbh, and One UI is boring for me, and transitions on Samsung are slow too so
@@MoneyMichx7doubt it all you want, doesn’t make it not true, because it is….
@@robhughes8516 i had the galaxy s23+ and idk what u even saying right now lol
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
Your content is always the best 🎉
Thank you!!
I absolutely l9ve my s24 ultra my battery is awesome i couldn't be more happier with it ❤
For me what I like using the s pen for was editing my videos.
I switched from iPhone to S24 ultra - i ❤ it!!!😊
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
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?
Hi, what of the Pixel 8 pro? You didn’t show it in your collection 😜
I sold it 😂
@@MarksTechwhyyyee😩
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
The Galaxy S 2 had the best Display to me the first one ever.
Just got this on upgrade from.s21 fe
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.
Better than the S23U?
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
So how do people still say the S24ultra takes bad vidoes,is it hatred or iphone users just hate competition
both
Did you type this on the ios keyboard? 😅 Samsung video especially 4k 60 looks amazing.
I'll get slated for this but I hope the s25 is even bigger
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?
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)
Camera can be improved
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.
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
I love my s24 ultra I'm agree with you
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 camera does not look better looks the same
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
AT&T gave me $1000 for my s20 ultra and ive had it repaired and replaced twice in 4 years
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.
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
I have no idea what updates you got. My S24 Ultra doesn't take good photos. too bright, too sharp. Even if I turn the AI functions off, the images are processed. For me it's currently the worst camera. The camera from my previous Pixel 7 Pro took much better pictures. I'm open to tips and advice on how to set up the camera in the best possible way. because, otherwise I love the s24 ultra.
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
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
vivo x100 ultra has batter camera than s24 U
Def the best, I wouldn't change it
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.
Samsung user here. This review sounds like a paid Samsung advertisement.
Camara is trash the rest of the hardware is the best there is
I just got it from Amazon renewed !! Impeccable state and after all the updates - still hasnt notice issue with screen vibrancy, battery or bugs!
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 have great speed...until I go over 50GB data
T-Mobile? I go over 50 every month and still seem to get amazing speeds. Maybe just depends on the area
@@MarksTech yes Tmobile Houston TX
I think s21 ultra is good enough for casual users. These are all gimics to sell new models every year.
Been using my S9 I bought in 2018..still works but battery life is crappy. Time to upgrade
Many megapixels do not make better photos.
The 200 megapixels are pure advertising and total nonsense on such a small lens.If you want an Ultra, the S22 Ultra is still a top-of-the-line smartphone with a fantastic display and a great camera
Not a good advice if you want an iphone user to go android... if an iphone user was reading this.. do you want then to buy a 2022 phone in 2024?... the fact that also some countries has faster phase out as well... in ASIA you cannot buy S22 anymore... you can but on 3rd party store that doesnt have warranty...
8:43 huh?
😭 thanks for letting me know. I have no idea what happened there … I just checked my project on my editing program and it’s fine 😢 thankfully I don’t think I mentioned anything important during those missing seconds. But hey, thanks for watching that far into the video! 🥰
@@MarksTech Happy to help bro
Looks like the review is sponsored
Didn't improve enough from the S23 Ultra to be phone of the year again. I agree the S23 Ultra was the phone of 2023, but not this. That's too easy. But we will see, for me, the OnePlus 12 is the phone of the year so far but a lot of time left to see what other companies release.
the one plus 12 is also fantastic!
Apalacan?
Idk how to pronounce it right 😭
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.
Sadly i can't use this phone because of the low pmw
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.....
Samsung has become so staid and disappointing.
Phone of the year is right. This is an honest review. I enjoyed the video.
After debating myself I've decided to trade this phone in for the S25 Ultra. Not that I don't love this device, I just have a feeling they're going all out for the S25 lineup.
I have a ZF4, and I'm trading it in for the S25U. I'm done with foldables.
@thundergato84 I had the Flip5, but traded it in for the S24 Ultra. Good phone but didn't fit my lifestyle.
Wtf i paid 1200 like a dumbass
Das mag ja alles sein, aber das S24 Ultra hat ein extrem schlechtes PWM! Samsung tut nichts dagegen! Kein minimieren vom typischen OLED-Display flackern! Befremdlich!
S24 Ultra is a good investment if you got a regular unit. But if you pick a defective unit u Will invest a lot of time trying to got a replacement... His warranty is Just trash i've seen a lot of People complaining about defective screens, defective batteries, defective cameras. His warranty/replacement service is Just trash, very very awful. I'm between a S23 U or Honor Magic 6 Pro some help here?
Got the honor magic 6 pro. Sold the s24. Couldnt be happier. Better camera, faster and better battery life.
The s24u might get phone of the year in america because they have no choice. They're way behind in hardware vs the chinese phones
Trash talk
where did you get it from?
I wish Samsung would bring back expandable memory! I'm went from the note 20 back to note 10 plus and now getting the note 20 ultra bc they won't put expandable memory back. I use up all my 512 gb and a 1 tb memory with pics and videos. I'm not willing to compromise on that. I really would love to buy a newer one but won't unless they do a expandable memory option again.
@Samsung
7 months from now I'll be watching from the S25U and will laugh at the ppl who got baited and scammed from buying the S24U 😂😂
Had one theses every 2 years they have all been good phones except this one have more issues with it things change over night ill put my phone Downe at night and by the morning things have been lost of the front screen setting gone poor signal just crap going back to apple next time for the first time in years try them lot of money very dissapointed
Funny when you said that the s24 ultra has an advantage when sunny outside and then the iPhone looked much brighter 😅
Did you not see the terrible reflection on the iPhone? That was the point...
@@ChadH2023 of course i did, but the high brightness is enough to get over it
@@danielperez3044 lol sure ya did
@@ChadH2023 ok dummy
I got the s24U a month ago , amazing device but the camera is overrated … I love the phone and I’d buy it again over any iPhone which I have owned in the past but , its camera should be improved , as for the rest , the phone is a beast .
Camera on S24Ultra is not the best, not even close. Just gone thru a whole of old photos and strangely iPhone 4S took better photos than my S24 Ultra. After 6 months with this phone I'm not impressed, and at a prize of nearly $1800 I think it's not worth it. Sony or iPhone would be my next pick
