Why do you complain about Samsung prices but not Apple prices. It really gets on my nerves. You will see youtubers justifying Apple product crazy prices but when it comes to Android the price is suddenly unbearable?
Because Android phones have cheaper variants with almost same performance, Apple on the other hand doesn't have a competition with the same hardware+software bundle. Some Android flagship phones or high-end (not flagship) phones has the same chip with lesser features like a little bit downgraded screen but overall, android competes on its own market that's why they complain about Samsung's prices. Oneplus for example offers greate value android phones, other brands too. But Samsung raises their prices to match Apple's.
For one samsung phones are WAY more expensive than iPhones now. The ultra costs more where I am and the z fold 4 is like the cost of 2 iPhones The bad thing is the resale value on androids is trash. So you pay a lot for Samsung. But after only 6 months the phone is worth less than half sometimes With an iPhone. It costs a lot. But still less than Samsung now. AND the resale value is way way higher. So you actually spend less in the long run. For essentially a better working device
@@JamesXiii Try iPhone and Samsung and you will understand. Siri, apple wallet, photo/video, shape/size, AirPods and so on. You can not name Samsung alternative for these that have better quality.
I got mine may 24 and after a couple updates my phone has been pretty great. I leave my house for work at around 430pm and when I get home at 430-5 am I'm still around 45% with heavy usage. RUclips, music, texting, phone calls, tik Tok.
Just got the 24 ultra 512gb a month ago for $800 thru a deal with spectrum mobile. It has replaced my pixel 7pro. Which was for all my Google stuff. I prefer it over my iPhone 13 MP, but I feel I have the best of both worlds.
That's the one thong about samsung they always have a trade in deal,.if you stay loyal you will almost certainly get 800 trade in value as well as storage upgrade for free.
I picked up the S24 Ultra about 6 weeks ago, and I love it. It's the best phone I've ever used. I'm not a power user, I get texts, emails, check some social media, and that's really it. I don't even get to an hour of screen on time a day. That said, when I got the phone I got a little over 1 days worth of battery life, but something changed a few weeks back, maybe and update, but I can easily get close to 3 days now. I've never seen that on a smartphone. I really liked your review, though. Very well done and thought out. 🔋
The update didn't turn on battery saver by any chance? I've always run with battery saver mode enabled on my previous S23 Ultra and on my current Galazy Z Flip 5. I genuinely do not notice any difference in how the phone runs or performs, but the battery life is extended dramatically. I took my Flip 5 off charge at 6:30 AM this morning - it's now 2:00 AM (roughly 20 hours later and my battery is still on 85% after a day of fairly regular use. When I had battery save turned off I was getting to 60% or so by around 3:00 PM. I had similar battery life increases when enabling battery save on my S23 Ultra too.
I still have my s20, and it still works amazingly well.. i just upgraded yesterday, and considering i used to be an apple user, my iPhone would have never lasted this long. So i am hoping s24 does not disappoint..
@@amberduran3718 i broke the screen on my note 9 for the final time 3 days ago, walked out of the gym and immediately went and got the s24 ultra.... figured i better do it quick before the screen starts bleeding and becomes unoperational before i copy the phone to the next one.... but it's actually still working.... doesn't matter... note 4 to note 9 to note 24, yes i consider it a note, large screen and a pen is a note
And if you happen to have a Samsung tablet or a windows computer, the ease of use between the devices (even if they're not from the Samsung family) grows exponentially
@@uchihalegend2679 same way having an iphone and ipad works well together. Devices made by the same brand tend to function well as an ecosystem. Every appliance I own is Samsung, not Apple, lol. I'm making the swap and dragging my family to a new texting app even if it's kicking and screaming, lol.
@@uchihalegend2679 Doesn't need to be all samsung, using Dex is using your phone as a computer (w keyb and mouse) and it's good enough for administrative work or light coding... and it comunicates with any Windows computer with ease
they use iphone to show off esp. here in dubai most of the people think they are rich if they have an iphone (not fully paid though) and look down at people who use android 😂 ive been to 14 pro max to 15 pro max to S24U and i never regret it 😂 honestly i get bored in iphone, samsung never gets me bored.
For me the battery is great. I use it for work, : Phone calls, Teams and Teams call/meetings, connect to watch, check email and messages. Battery lasts for 2.5 days. Yes, I have a close cell tower by work and home
How old is your phone now. I mean i wanted to upgrade from s22 ultra. Which barely gives me 4 hrs of screen on time after 2 years. I want to know more about it. And should i go for 15pro or s24 ultra
@@justforlearning4014 I just got the 15 pro, battery life defnitely doesn't do 23 hours of videoplay as it says in teh adverts, but it is better and the speed of the phone is much more noticeable compared to the 13 pro I had before. It's a solid phone but it is very same same
@justforlearning4014 had iPhone 13 switched to s24 ultra yesterday. I like this phone so much more than the iPhone, only downside is the camera in social media apps.
I can't relate to ppl speaking about bad battery. My s24ultra(violet color) battery is awesome. Im always left with 40-35% in the evening(6pm) with only 1 full charge at 5am. But note that I used to have bad battery life for the first 3weeks after I got it. Then it suddenly picked and now it's a beast. It legit does a day and half on a single charge when I put on powersaver
Somehow I don't really like the square corners. The phone just doesn't fit comfortably in the pocket. And a case only makes the phone even bigger and heavier. I think it's the best phone, even though I use the iPhone 15 PM myself.
I have a 23Ultra and have been using it since Nov '23. My wife just upgraded to 24Ultra and they both seem to be holding up well. My Galaxy Watch did the weird battery drain thing yesterday but seems fine today. 🔋
I purchased an IPhone 13ProMax when it first came out. After a few months, I ditched it and went back to the Ultra. Samsung is getting better and better, and I am observing many people starting to abandon the Apple Ecosphere. I now run the Ultra24 and I will never look back. Samsung rocks…!!!!!
This is truly the best phone I have ever used. Battery life, speed, smoothness, and killer camera. My wife has an iPhone 14 Pro Max. It does the trick. She always complains to me about how my S24U takes much better pictures and video. She makes me do the pictures when we are out.
Here in Canada S24 Ultra is more expensive than iphone somehow. Considering the iphone is more popular in NA you would think Samsung would lower the price but no. But Samsung gets a lot of deals after a few months
I use S24U, and I've been enjoying mine for 4+ months. My battery lasts for over 24 hours, and I'm on my phone too much during the day. I have an issue with the messages as well, but besides that, I really ENJOY the 24U. I don't want the iPhone because everyone in the family has it. I like to be different, plus I like Samsung products.
Weird. My S24 Ultra lasts almost 2 Days with DualSIM enabled, BUT I set the network speed to 4G max, because here in germany, only one provider delivers true 5G and when I enable 5G, most of the time, there are 2 modems active. 2 on every sim card which makes 4! This is what's sucking up battery. So if you own a S24 Ultra, just disable 5G if you do not need it. Another thing is: If I enable the powersaving mode, which caps the cpu speed to 70% and the refresh rate to 60hz, I get almost 3 days out of one charge. The last thing: I only charge my battery up to 80%. In the evening after charging the same day, I am on around 55-60%, which lasts easily until the next day.
The only problem i have notice with my own is sometimes after receiving a phone call with my Bluetooth earphones I can not increase the volume in music or videos and I have to restart the phone to fix it. I dont know what causes it but suspect a bug.
A samsung phone owner of every model since Note 2 i have evauluated for my requirements every iphone since iphone 6S Plus. I used them with Apple, Windows, & Chrome OS. My experienes: if you are in Apple cult stay with it but Android + Windows is by far the most technical usefull OS.
are you seriously call 'Apple' a cult, but using Windows? I would be okay if it was Android + Linux, but Windows... By far - the worst OS and software are from MS.
@@emmanuel9546 Nice argument, lol. People are just shit eaters. They do not want to be smart, they want OS to be so so from the box, not perfect for their needs after some tweaks (Linux). For example, MS Office is the piece of shit, yet it is kinda 'standard'. So, your argument is the piece of crap. And it is true for EVERY MS product.
@@SergeiAvdoshkin "some tweaks". Come on... it's no THAT simple. Imagine with they sold Ferraris like in the past, with no software, no auto control, no automatic... you can turn off some "third wheel", and have fun, but is just a click. On Linux, in other hand, you need to write, a lot. So, windows won. Most softwares on the market are optimized for MS.
One thing I noticed this week is my display continuously dims in bright sunlight until I can barely see anything on it. With or without adaptive brightness turned on it still does it. I can't find anything online regarding this issue.
Maybe ask for help from customer service in the samsung members app? If they know a solution they will give it to you and if it's a bug it will be fixed, hopefully with the next update.
In terms of durability, I had my s24 ultra ran over by an SUV today, and there was not one scratch on the screen with no protecter. I have a cheap Amazon case on it and even the back suffered no damages.
WHAT! I don't believe it. What are you leaving out. My S23 was demolished when it was ran over. The only thing that survived was the Sim Card that I am presently using in my back up phone. I will return to Samsung before my vacation start.
@mkay3751 he's not lying I have a cheaper samsung a05s I dropped on the floor and there's just one scratch below the finger print sensor . That's without a case and not a scratch on the screen . I dropped a xiaomi phone once and the screen cracked plus the camera glass . I'm thinking of getting the S24 plus soon because screen size is same as a05s .
@@shanegovender746 you'll love it. I've had mine since launch fantastic phone. I'll be keeping it for awhile now with seven years of updates you can't go wrong 😁
Nice video, i'm using the s24 ultra, and some friends of mine here in Spain as well, we had some slight hiccup with the battery last month but after the May 16 update, everything is back to normal..well at least for us here in Spain. 🙂
Happened to me on s22u while on ui 5.0 still without updating it, and after updating to 6.1, it still lasts 3.5h and can't even get out of battery save mode without it burning my hands even on home screen
I'm looking to buy an Ultra S24 soon. I'm upgrading from a Note 8 on its last legs. I'm hoping the improvements over the last 6~7 something years will be very noticeable. Having a half inch bigger screen, more than double the storage, and a bigger battery will go a long way for me.
Another good video keep it up. They ( Apple) are switching to RCS soon so that should solve your messaging problem with friends and family. As for the battery many Android RUclipsrs have made some videos on how to optimize your phone for battery performance without effecting your heavy use of your device. Love watching your journey on Android. I've been on Android forever and I'm still learning new things to do on my device it's crazy the freedom you have on Android.
I'm getting about 36 hours of estimated battery with the s24u, but I always put it to charge when it's around 30%. It seems to me that after getting below 40%, the battery drains much faster. I wish there was a way to get a much more detailed information about exactly what processes are draining the battery. The report of battery usage in the settings just don't show background processes that are running. For example, I wish I could know exactly how much Samsung Health, the pairing with my watch5 and buds2, 5G network and some widgets are really impacting battery life.
There's actually an app in Google Play called GSam Battery Monitor, and that does the things you want, but you need to give permission for certain things to calculate them.
That's weird my 24 ultra battery is strong i charge it at 100 start using my Pandora at 730am all the way to 430pm and it only goes down 81% to maybe 78%
The S24 Ultra has pulled me away from iPhones for the mongers time so far (almost 4 months) but I recently started using my iPhone 15 pro Max again and I’m hooked by how quick I get things done on it. I even have customised my 1 Home Screen that I used by themed icons (one page for day/light mode and one for dark/night mode) and I can’t get off of it. I still pick up my S24U every now and then and think how beautiful of a phone, but I just love some of the Apps and how they look/perform on iOS (Flighty, Pretty Progress, Fantastical, Timeline, etc…) and actually with iOS was in the body of the S24U ! lol (Crazy, I know). Finally, about the battery, completely agree and I think the May update that came late March ruined it ! But I got my last update May 16th and I think it has restored battery back to a significant improvement. Keep up your videos and great content my friend.
My battery of s24 cant really cope up with the iphone pro. It could be that easily gets hot compared to iphone. Iphone really has a good temp architecture. It struggles with its camera at dimmed rooms or night
Once again, another great video you did. I’m still using my S 23 ultra and it’s doing great. After purchasing new last year battery life is still holding up greatly. Keep up the great work Eddie from Kentucky USA.
@@valismind Thanks for the opinion on the S23. I opted to get the 23 (at 512 gb) rather than the 24. I hope that thst was a good choice. The only comment that I heard along the way was about the telephoto Also less money for an earlier model. I hope that I made a good decision.
Honestly i don't think I've had an issue with the battery. It lasts about 14-16 hours. But i also connect it to my car a lot via android auto. I mean it also depends on setting and whatnot. It will drain super fast playing high FPS games and apps i know. But since i mostly casually scroll, use dark mode, and leave things off if not using it.
Tech reviews are under embargo for awhile after release. creators cant say anything negative about the product or do in depth reviews comparing it to other phones until that contract date is up. That's why when phones come out you only see "first look" or "what I love about x device" You'll notice after a few weeks/months all these reviews start super positive and slowly get more honest and in depth after the embargo is up.
@@mikemorrill4670 There's that and also the fact that one needs to use some devices for a longer time to form a conclusive opinion about them. Some get software updates after release that make the user experience better or worse, so that needs to be mentioned in review.
Been using a samsung device for a decade ever since i had a tablet but the s24 ultra is the best one every yet after watching lots of videos about it and that but hoping to have a hands on experience and play around with whats new on this device
I've had my S24 Ultra since April and have not had any battery life issues. I use my phone a lot during the day. With a full charge at the start of my day, by the time I get home about 12 hours later, it'll be at 40% to 30%. Not bad if you ask me
You and I are in the same situation. I had the 15 Pro Max then went to the Pixel 8 Pro then the S24 Ultra back to the Pixel 8 Pro and then back to the S24 Ultra and then back to the 15 Pro Max. What killed the S24 Ultra this time was the Google watch and its missed notifications. What killed the Pixel 8 Pro was the frequently dropped wifi and cellular connections which then led to it not being activatable.
@mybeautifulcat7011 I can't think of a better Chinese phone for $534 haha Because that's how much I bought my s24 ultra by trading in my s23 ultra 😊 no regrets obviously 😉
🔋 I have the ultra 24. And it has been great thus far. Am enjoying the power of the camera(s) and AI features. My battery is still running strong. Like your vids.
I could never get used to the camera. Bright daylight pics look great, but indoor/low-light is still kind of a weak point for Samsung. Still get some blur because of Samsung's slower shutter speed. Not a problem on the Pixel or iPhone. Everything else about it is awesome, but I'm a photo snob so ultimately it just doesn't do it for me.
Have you tried shooting in RAW at all? It'll eliminate a lot of the weird noise caused by auto settings - I find it to be very good shooting RAW, but low light in auto modes is terrible. Indoor is almost unusable too unless you have lots of light.
🔋 enjoyed the update on the S24 Ultra. I can agree with you on some of the positive things that this device delivers. Although I believe that the S24 plus is the sweet spot for the 24 lineup. Looking forward to the 6 month review 😀
Love my s24 plus. It really does not get enough love for the absolute joy of a phone that it is. People complaining about sharp corners get an s24 plus problem solved.
I have owned my S24 Ultra for 8 months and don't experience any battery issues. I can get a full day with moderate use. Maybe it's a third-party app issue?
Apple already announced earlier this year that they are adapting RCS later this year. We’ll see if they mention how it’ll work in iOS 18 at wwdc or if they’ll just quietly implement it.
🔋 I've had my Samsung S24 ultra since launch and I don't see any battery degradation on mine. Do you have the battery health and optimization enabled? I can use my phone all day on a 12 hr shift and still have juice when I get home. Maybe you have a faulty battery?
Thank you for the great video. The battery life, in my opinion, is very likely a software problem. I bought my S24 ultra 1 month ago. Out of the box, The battery life was terrible, not even close to my old S23 ultra. It got a bit better after the May update. But it is still not as good as everyone boasted it it to be.
There's been alot of RUclipsrs that are mainly Android user's that have made videos on how to optimize your phone for battery 🔋 without losing performance. It seems to solve any battery issues that many are having. The thing I don't think many who switch to Android from Apple don't realize is Android is a very complex system. The freedom on Android is not even comparable to Apple. This comparisons of Apple to Android it's not even comparable. Apple ecosystem consists of like 10 devices. Samsung ecosystem close to 100 devices not even counting it's compatibility with microsoft and google. Apple has control over everything. Samsung/Android you have control over everything. You don't like something on Android you change it. Apple you don't like something... you hope for Apple to change it next year 🤷♂️
@@Anamae5451 Changes from Apple are something that happen over generation LOL. I've been using both iPhone and Android for more than 6 years and Android offers the freedom that Apple never does. Battery tips works for the most part but an overall system fix for S24U is still a must-have.
@@Anamae5451 I mean, you say freedom while also admitting you have to watch videos just to find out how to optimize battery on a flagship phone. You should've just said you prefer Android and leave it at that.
🔋 good review I have a Question about this phone and it's driving me nuts. When you type into your messages and send your message, does it write it all over again? As if it's another copy? I can't seem to make it stop and I have to erase Everything that I just text. It writes it again after i've already typed it in and sent it. What are your thoughts or have you figured out a way to stop that? Also my phone is getting hot. Have you had any problems with that? Thanks so much again.
🔋I don't really notice my battery dieing but I do have a 40 minute drive to work with my phone plugged in for Android Auto so that does help top it off.
Same! Which is why I'm considering upgrading to this phone, purely for updated features, there's really nothing wrong with my current phone. This is the longest I've had a phone and found it still worthwhile. If it will last as long as my current (S20FE), it's more than worth the money to me.
Happened to me on s22u while on ui 5.0 still without updating it, and after updating to 6.1, it still lasts 3.5h and can't even get out of battery save mode without it burning my hands even on home screen
Based on my experience with my S21 Ultra I decided to get the S24 Ultra, and I can't complain. After trade-in, promo codes and teacher program (which I'm not 😂) I got: the phone(512GB), screen protector, ear buds pro and wallet case, all that for US $ 650. I love it.
I appreciate that one of the issues you mentioned is one you hadn’t experienced at the time of the video. You went ahead and included because plenty of other folks did.
Do you clear your cache regularly? I still reboot into "recovery menu" once a month or so and clear it just to get rid of any junk that could say, slow things down, eat up battery, etc. - just sayin'! 😉
Hi (nice test) I have noticed that the frame around the 50MP periscope telephoto camera on my phone is slightly tilted, approximately 5-7 degrees off from the vertical or relative to the phone's vertical edge. This seems like it could be an assembly issue during production. Could other users with a 50MP periscope telephoto lens check their cameras for any similar tilt in the frame relative to the vertical or phone edge? I’d appreciate any feedback on this. Thank you!
🔋 so true , Apple is really big in Canada. I don’t know a single person that is using an Android phone around me. RCS is gonna be a good thing for sure.
Ive paid off my phone and ipad a while ago and still havent got new stuff. I have no idea what to do. On one hand any phone or tablet i use ill be able to do what i want on but id love to be get new stuff. Been stuck on iphones and ipads. No idea what to do. Dont see the point in getting newer versions of what i have. ( 13 pro max and m1 ipad pro ( not much upgrades on these. Havent used android properly in years so wouldnt even know where to start. Would samsung be better, would pixel? I dont know.
Samsung would definitely be better, go to a store that displays phones and use the pixel and a samsung choose which one you like more . I don't like the pixel UI it's boring
I think that if someone likes to customize things around and basically do what ever they want with a phone then you go for android but If your totally ok with what alredy comes preloaded on a phone and not be able to do more then just what they give you then you go with Apple
I bought the S24 Ultra last week and apart from the peculiar battery problem, I noticed that the white balance in the front camera is bad. If on my selfie there is a moderately white surface behind me, or the vague reflection of a light, the captured photo exaggerates the white tone in the photo. Has it happened to anybody else? Do you think Samsung will fix it or will it stay?
🔋 just got the S24U 512 coming from the note 20u. So far it's great. Can't wait to actually use it beyond setting it up. Took forever to move all my files etc. Totally hate the missing SD card slot though.
I switched from iPhone to samsung Samsung S24 ultra after 12 years. The experience is good, but there are some apps (e.g Google maps) that constantly hang. Not sure if its just me or a common issue.
Great video! I was back and forth going for the ultra or the plus. I ended up getting the Plus. (Exynos) I have no regrets on my decision. The only thing was my thoughts about battery life maybe being slightly better on the Ultra because of the Snapdragon chip. According to this video it seems that there's about the same battery life with the ultra Snapdragon, as the plus exynos. So now I don't have to think about that issue anymore, thanks! 🔋
Can someone please help me putting music on my 24 ultra.. I get my music from RUclips music I downloaded songs but it's downloaded on RUclips music app and not my phone..
Enjoyed the review overall but the camera and video review are not really important to me. Love the phone's performance and build quality. Been looking for a phone with the aesthetics of the old Sony Xperia with the square edges. Tired of the same boring looks of all the phones today. They all look the same! Absolutely no distinctive features at all. Unfortunately Sony dropped the square edges on their Xperia line in favor of the boring round edges. Looking forward to purchasing the S24 Ultra within the next few days. One feature I found very useful and important for me with the S24 Ultra is the DEX, which is used exclusively with Samsung S-series phones. I would like to see your review on this feature.
🔋Just upgraded from an S22U to the S24U. Yep, killer deal from T-mobile did it for me. Didn't need a new phone but the deal was too good to pass up. I also **love** the gorilla glass on this so my question is simple. Can I get an screen protector made of this gorilla glass? Or, if I leave it unprotected and get the micro-scratches, will a "regular" screen protector cover those up and give me a scratch free phone once again? Great video - succinct!!
🔋 Really informative. I love that your review is after a few months, as yes, it makes a huge difference, and sometimes things aren't noticed for a while. Thank you. 😁👍
to make separate comment: is it as bad in overheating in simple task like browsing as internet was told me, because i literally want to decide tomorrow whether to buy it or not?
I have a s24 plus and there's a feature on there that will stop your phone from overcharging when it hits 100% or less percentage if you pick that option. Because overcharging your phone when it's at 100% will cause your battery to not hold the charge as it used to.
Have you been living under a rock? Apple already announced back in September that when they come out with the iPhone 16 it will support RCs messaging.. bro you are a tech RUclipsr how did you not know that
🔋 Dude, great video. The battery issue is the kind of thing we need to know. Great at the start, cursing it 6 months down the line. With a new phone on the horizon, I think this has made my mind up. Sony Xperia 1 VI it is! Thanks man! 👍
🔋I've had the S24U since February and I LOVE it... best phone I've ever had! I went with the violet one like yours too ❤. Thankfully, I haven't noticed a drop in the battery life at all either... maybe it's a US or Canadian issue?
@@valismind the updates are actually the same most of the phones are global models . Just pushed out in batches and according to regions . This is what I was told by a samsung rep .
I have the S24, P8P, 15 PM. My current DD is the P8P. However, I picked up my 15PM again, and just updated it and checked some apps to compare. I'm disgusted by how most apps are better on the 15PM. I mean, even the GOOGLE apps work, look, and feel MUCH better than on my P8P!! WTH?? But the only two phones out of the 3 that are useable for me is the P8P and 15PM. For whatever ungodly reason, the S24 just can't hang with the other two's cameras for what I mainly use them for (low light scene with moving objects, i.e., pets, people). When I try to use settings I find online, they don't work as great as just the simple point and shoot results I get with the P8P and 15PM. After futzing around with my 15PM again, I'm having serious doubts about remaining with android. What keeps me with my P8P right now though, is the Google set of features which have spoiled me. The call screening, the anti-spam messaging filters, even the little feature of 'what's playing' on the bottom of my lock screen. I never realized how much I used and appreciate that little feature until I use my S24 phone. For me and my needs, the S24 isn't an option. It's just a battle between my P8P and 15PM now.
I never experienced battery life issues. I also never charge the phone to 100%, only when absolutely needed like a festival. With my 80% I am able to have around 10hours of screen on time which means I can use if for around 18 to 30 hours because I am more on my computer rather than my phone. Great tip is do not! Charge to 100% all the time.
i'm having the same internal argument as you... i want the protective screen, because i abuse phones in my daily life more than most (and by that i mean the conditions around me, not how much i use the screen myself)... but the anti glare screen IS SO GOOD... i don't know if i can give that up, i'm in the sun all the time
Got the batteryissue from May-update. From 10-12h SoT no prob, to 3-4h SoT, during shorter SoffT. Brought it in and changed it to a OP12r, it's night and day when it comes to rely on battery.
I just watched your whole video on my tablet. I don't have the battery icon to prove I've watched your whole video. I have a Samsung23fe...and am thinking of purchasing the s24 ultra. It was between that and the iPhone 15 plus. Think I'm going with the Samsung. Thank you for your video.😊
Why do you complain about Samsung prices but not Apple prices. It really gets on my nerves. You will see youtubers justifying Apple product crazy prices but when it comes to Android the price is suddenly unbearable?
Because Android phones have cheaper variants with almost same performance, Apple on the other hand doesn't have a competition with the same hardware+software bundle. Some Android flagship phones or high-end (not flagship) phones has the same chip with lesser features like a little bit downgraded screen but overall, android competes on its own market that's why they complain about Samsung's prices. Oneplus for example offers greate value android phones, other brands too. But Samsung raises their prices to match Apple's.
Because android's quality doesn't match apple's quality and resell value.
@@Donadzeawhat quality are you talking about?! This is so vague!
For one samsung phones are WAY more expensive than iPhones now. The ultra costs more where I am and the z fold 4 is like the cost of 2 iPhones
The bad thing is the resale value on androids is trash. So you pay a lot for Samsung. But after only 6 months the phone is worth less than half sometimes
With an iPhone. It costs a lot. But still less than Samsung now. AND the resale value is way way higher. So you actually spend less in the long run. For essentially a better working device

So hard to do
Yeah switching to a less reliable, uglier partner that doesn’t hold his/her value.
Controlling!!
I got mine may 24 and after a couple updates my phone has been pretty great. I leave my house for work at around 430pm and when I get home at 430-5 am I'm still around 45% with heavy usage. RUclips, music, texting, phone calls, tik Tok.
That’s great!
Just got the 24 ultra 512gb a month ago for $800 thru a deal with spectrum mobile. It has replaced my pixel 7pro. Which was for all my Google stuff. I prefer it over my iPhone 13 MP, but I feel I have the best of both worlds.
That's the one thong about samsung they always have a trade in deal,.if you stay loyal you will almost certainly get 800 trade in value as well as storage upgrade for free.
I picked up the S24 Ultra about 6 weeks ago, and I love it. It's the best phone I've ever used. I'm not a power user, I get texts, emails, check some social media, and that's really it. I don't even get to an hour of screen on time a day. That said, when I got the phone I got a little over 1 days worth of battery life, but something changed a few weeks back, maybe and update, but I can easily get close to 3 days now. I've never seen that on a smartphone. I really liked your review, though. Very well done and thought out. 🔋
The update didn't turn on battery saver by any chance?
I've always run with battery saver mode enabled on my previous S23 Ultra and on my current Galazy Z Flip 5. I genuinely do not notice any difference in how the phone runs or performs, but the battery life is extended dramatically.
I took my Flip 5 off charge at 6:30 AM this morning - it's now 2:00 AM (roughly 20 hours later and my battery is still on 85% after a day of fairly regular use. When I had battery save turned off I was getting to 60% or so by around 3:00 PM. I had similar battery life increases when enabling battery save on my S23 Ultra too.
I still have my s20, and it still works amazingly well.. i just upgraded yesterday, and considering i used to be an apple user, my iPhone would have never lasted this long. So i am hoping s24 does not disappoint..
@amberduran3718 exactly 💯 i still have s20 ultra and it works fine besides needing more charges
@@amberduran3718 i broke the screen on my note 9 for the final time 3 days ago, walked out of the gym and immediately went and got the s24 ultra.... figured i better do it quick before the screen starts bleeding and becomes unoperational before i copy the phone to the next one.... but it's actually still working.... doesn't matter... note 4 to note 9 to note 24, yes i consider it a note, large screen and a pen is a note
@pete3198 ohhhh boy the FLOP FLOP ...WAY OVER PRICED
WAY TOO FRAGILE
AND WAY Lacking
Awful camera, no S Pen unless you buy, etc
I got the s24 ultra, wife got the iPhone 16 pro max. The war continues.
And if you happen to have a Samsung tablet or a windows computer, the ease of use between the devices (even if they're not from the Samsung family) grows exponentially
Howso
@@uchihalegend2679 same way having an iphone and ipad works well together. Devices made by the same brand tend to function well as an ecosystem. Every appliance I own is Samsung, not Apple, lol. I'm making the swap and dragging my family to a new texting app even if it's kicking and screaming, lol.

@@uchihalegend2679 Doesn't need to be all samsung, using Dex is using your phone as a computer (w keyb and mouse) and it's good enough for administrative work or light coding... and it comunicates with any Windows computer with ease

I use an S24U, and I find it almost a perfect phone👌🏻👍🏻. iPhone users only use iPhone because it's an iPhone...🤔🤨🙄

Not true. As much as I love my 15 Pro Max, I equally love and enjoying the user experience of my Samsung S24 Ultra. It is time to stop this nonsense
Switched from fold 4 and i am loving it. ❤
they use iphone to show off esp. here in dubai most of the people think they are rich if they have an iphone (not fully paid though) and look down at people who use android 😂 ive been to 14 pro max to 15 pro max to S24U and i never regret it 😂 honestly i get bored in iphone, samsung never gets me bored.
iphones are ideal for the casual, non-technical social media user but Android is a more sophisticated system.
For me the battery is great. I use it for work, : Phone calls, Teams and Teams call/meetings, connect to watch, check email and messages. Battery lasts for 2.5 days. Yes, I have a close cell tower by work and home
@Lezrozen94 i mean about 5 calls per day,rest are teams call like 3 times , messages, notifications, email, bluetooth to Galaxy watch 6 classic
How old is your phone now. I mean i wanted to upgrade from s22 ultra. Which barely gives me 4 hrs of screen on time after 2 years. I want to know more about it. And should i go for 15pro or s24 ultra
@@justforlearning4014 are you asking me? :) I got the phone in Feb of this year. Moving to an iPhone or 24 Ultra is up to you :)
@@justforlearning4014 I just got the 15 pro, battery life defnitely doesn't do 23 hours of videoplay as it says in teh adverts, but it is better and the speed of the phone is much more noticeable compared to the 13 pro I had before. It's a solid phone but it is very same same
@justforlearning4014 had iPhone 13 switched to s24 ultra yesterday. I like this phone so much more than the iPhone, only downside is the camera in social media apps.
I can't relate to ppl speaking about bad battery. My s24ultra(violet color) battery is awesome. Im always left with 40-35% in the evening(6pm) with only 1 full charge at 5am. But note that I used to have bad battery life for the first 3weeks after I got it. Then it suddenly picked and now it's a beast. It legit does a day and half on a single charge when I put on powersaver
Somehow I don't really like the square corners. The phone just doesn't fit comfortably in the pocket. And a case only makes the phone even bigger and heavier. I think it's the best phone, even though I use the iPhone 15 PM myself.
just by a case with rounded corners
I have a 23Ultra and have been using it since Nov '23. My wife just upgraded to 24Ultra and they both seem to be holding up well. My Galaxy Watch did the weird battery drain thing yesterday but seems fine today. 🔋
Really? Happened to me as well with my S24U and Galaxy Watch. My wife's apple watch is worse.
@@MrCaptainobvious77 lmao bot lying like a mfaka
I purchased an IPhone 13ProMax when it first came out. After a few months, I ditched it and went back to the Ultra. Samsung is getting better and better, and I am observing many people starting to abandon the Apple Ecosphere. I now run the Ultra24 and I will never look back. Samsung rocks…!!!!!
I've see so many videos of people diching IPhones. Even my mom left IPhones.
This is truly the best phone I have ever used. Battery life, speed, smoothness, and killer camera. My wife has an iPhone 14 Pro Max. It does the trick. She always complains to me about how my S24U takes much better pictures and video. She makes me do the pictures when we are out.
In my country, the iPhone 15 PM is about $150 more than the S24U. With the specs and lower price, choosing the S24U was a no-brainer for me.
Which country?
@@valismind It has to be India, Androids are generally cheaper there.
İn my country iphone 16 3500$ 24U 2200$ 😂 If you are not a fanboy, the choice is clear. a55 😢
@@GokhanGursel-eu1xm 🤡
Here in Canada S24 Ultra is more expensive than iphone somehow. Considering the iphone is more popular in NA you would think Samsung would lower the price but no. But Samsung gets a lot of deals after a few months
I use S24U, and I've been enjoying mine for 4+ months. My battery lasts for over 24 hours, and I'm on my phone too much during the day. I have an issue with the messages as well, but besides that, I really ENJOY the 24U. I don't want the iPhone because everyone in the family has it. I like to be different, plus I like Samsung products.
Weird. My S24 Ultra lasts almost 2 Days with DualSIM enabled, BUT I set the network speed to 4G max, because here in germany, only one provider delivers true 5G and when I enable 5G, most of the time, there are 2 modems active. 2 on every sim card which makes 4! This is what's sucking up battery.
So if you own a S24 Ultra, just disable 5G if you do not need it.
Another thing is: If I enable the powersaving mode, which caps the cpu speed to 70% and the refresh rate to 60hz, I get almost 3 days out of one charge.
The last thing: I only charge my battery up to 80%. In the evening after charging the same day, I am on around 55-60%, which lasts easily until the next day.
The only problem i have notice with my own is sometimes after receiving a phone call with my Bluetooth earphones I can not increase the volume in music or videos and I have to restart the phone to fix it. I dont know what causes it but suspect a bug.
A samsung phone owner of every model since Note 2 i have evauluated for my requirements every iphone since iphone 6S Plus. I used them with Apple, Windows, & Chrome OS. My experienes: if you are in Apple cult stay with it but Android + Windows is by far the most technical usefull OS.
are you seriously call 'Apple' a cult, but using Windows? I would be okay if it was Android + Linux, but Windows... By far - the worst OS and software are from MS.
@@SergeiAvdoshkinyeah, that why it's dominant among home users and the work place
@@emmanuel9546 Nice argument, lol. People are just shit eaters. They do not want to be smart, they want OS to be so so from the box, not perfect for their needs after some tweaks (Linux). For example, MS Office is the piece of shit, yet it is kinda 'standard'. So, your argument is the piece of crap. And it is true for EVERY MS product.
@@SergeiAvdoshkin "some tweaks". Come on... it's no THAT simple. Imagine with they sold Ferraris like in the past, with no software, no auto control, no automatic... you can turn off some "third wheel", and have fun, but is just a click. On Linux, in other hand, you need to write, a lot.
So, windows won. Most softwares on the market are optimized for MS.

One thing I noticed this week is my display continuously dims in bright sunlight until I can barely see anything on it. With or without adaptive brightness turned on it still does it. I can't find anything online regarding this issue.
Check to see if you have" Extra Dim" turned on
Maybe ask for help from customer service in the samsung members app?
If they know a solution they will give it to you and if it's a bug it will be fixed, hopefully with the next update.

In terms of durability, I had my s24 ultra ran over by an SUV today, and there was not one scratch on the screen with no protecter. I have a cheap Amazon case on it and even the back suffered no damages.
Damn!!
WHAT! I don't believe it. What are you leaving out. My S23 was demolished when it was ran over. The only thing that survived was the Sim Card that I am presently using in my back up phone. I will return to Samsung before my vacation start.

Dude of course come on now! Lol 7 year old tech haha dude..tech improves with every year.
Is that the one that's been blowing up?
@@i.d.6492 no that was the note 7
Another good video keep it up. They ( Apple) are switching to RCS soon so that should solve your messaging problem with friends and family. As for the battery many Android RUclipsrs have made some videos on how to optimize your phone for battery performance without effecting your heavy use of your device. Love watching your journey on Android. I've been on Android forever and I'm still learning new things to do on my device it's crazy the freedom you have on Android.
I'm getting about 36 hours of estimated battery with the s24u, but I always put it to charge when it's around 30%. It seems to me that after getting below 40%, the battery drains much faster. I wish there was a way to get a much more detailed information about exactly what processes are draining the battery. The report of battery usage in the settings just don't show background processes that are running. For example, I wish I could know exactly how much Samsung Health, the pairing with my watch5 and buds2, 5G network and some widgets are really impacting battery life.
There's actually an app in Google Play called GSam Battery Monitor, and that does the things you want, but you need to give permission for certain things to calculate them.
That's weird my 24 ultra battery is strong i charge it at 100 start using my Pandora at 730am all the way to 430pm and it only goes down 81% to maybe 78%
🔋 I am actually upgrading to this phone this week .. this was helpful! Always been Samsung and presently have an 22Ultra
The S24 Ultra has pulled me away from iPhones for the mongers time so far (almost 4 months) but I recently started using my iPhone 15 pro Max again and I’m hooked by how quick I get things done on it. I even have customised my 1 Home Screen that I used by themed icons (one page for day/light mode and one for dark/night mode) and I can’t get off of it.
I still pick up my S24U every now and then and think how beautiful of a phone, but I just love some of the Apps and how they look/perform on iOS (Flighty, Pretty Progress, Fantastical, Timeline, etc…) and actually with iOS was in the body of the S24U ! lol (Crazy, I know).
Finally, about the battery, completely agree and I think the May update that came late March ruined it ! But I got my last update May 16th and I think it has restored battery back to a significant improvement.
Keep up your videos and great content my friend.
You can change the response time for the s24u under developer options which allow it to be much snappier in transitions. Laser fast experience here
My battery of s24 cant really cope up with the iphone pro. It could be that easily gets hot compared to iphone. Iphone really has a good temp architecture. It struggles with its camera at dimmed rooms or night
Once again, another great video you did. I’m still using my S 23 ultra and it’s doing great. After purchasing new last year battery life is still holding up greatly. Keep up the great work Eddie from Kentucky USA.
Thanks Eddie :) glad you're still rocking the S23 Ultra, it's such a good phone
@@valismind
Thanks for the opinion on the S23. I opted to get the 23 (at 512 gb) rather than the 24. I hope that thst was a good choice. The only comment that I heard along the way was about the telephoto
Also less money for an earlier model. I hope that I made a good decision.
@@millafin9469That's a perfect choice! S23 is better, than S24
Honestly i don't think I've had an issue with the battery. It lasts about 14-16 hours. But i also connect it to my car a lot via android auto. I mean it also depends on setting and whatnot. It will drain super fast playing high FPS games and apps i know. But since i mostly casually scroll, use dark mode, and leave things off if not using it.
What does "honest" review actually mean? I'm sure you don't do 'dishonest' reviews, right? So why the emphasis on honesty?
Tech reviews are under embargo for awhile after release. creators cant say anything negative about the product or do in depth reviews comparing it to other phones until that contract date is up. That's why when phones come out you only see "first look" or "what I love about x device" You'll notice after a few weeks/months all these reviews start super positive and slowly get more honest and in depth after the embargo is up.
@@mikemorrill4670 There's that and also the fact that one needs to use some devices for a longer time to form a conclusive opinion about them. Some get software updates after release that make the user experience better or worse, so that needs to be mentioned in review.
This is an 'honest' comment
Because it tell the bad things too. That's it
Why the paranoia
10:08 RCS is coming to the iPhone in a few months. Dont give up the samsung

Been using a samsung device for a decade ever since i had a tablet but the s24 ultra is the best one every yet after watching lots of videos about it and that but hoping to have a hands on experience and play around with whats new on this device

the screen scratching is so annoying and I hate samsung for it. my galaxy Tab has scratch marks from the Samsung cover/book case
I've had my S24 Ultra since April and have not had any battery life issues. I use my phone a lot during the day. With a full charge at the start of my day, by the time I get home about 12 hours later, it'll be at 40% to 30%. Not bad if you ask me
You and I are in the same situation. I had the 15 Pro Max then went to the Pixel 8 Pro then the S24 Ultra back to the Pixel 8 Pro and then back to the S24 Ultra and then back to the 15 Pro Max. What killed the S24 Ultra this time was the Google watch and its missed notifications. What killed the Pixel 8 Pro was the frequently dropped wifi and cellular connections which then led to it not being activatable.
I have both the 15 pro max and the s24 ultra. My go to phone is the iPhone at all times
Sound like me, but the indoor pictures is what killed the s24u for me
What killed iPhone for me the poor audio quality, trashy restricted software experience, ugly looking front, less bright display and so on

What alternatives would you suggest? I have the S20 ultra and will be upgrading.
🔋 I have the ultra 24. And it has been great thus far. Am enjoying the power of the camera(s) and AI features. My battery is still running strong. Like your vids.
I could never get used to the camera. Bright daylight pics look great, but indoor/low-light is still kind of a weak point for Samsung. Still get some blur because of Samsung's slower shutter speed. Not a problem on the Pixel or iPhone.
Everything else about it is awesome, but I'm a photo snob so ultimately it just doesn't do it for me.
Have you tried shooting in RAW at all? It'll eliminate a lot of the weird noise caused by auto settings - I find it to be very good shooting RAW, but low light in auto modes is terrible. Indoor is almost unusable too unless you have lots of light.
How much is it? 12:37
U are full time caseless? If yes how is it so far? Any minor scratches or anything?
🔋 enjoyed the update on the S24 Ultra. I can agree with you on some of the positive things that this device delivers. Although I believe that the S24 plus is the sweet spot for the 24 lineup. Looking forward to the 6 month review 😀
Love my s24 plus. It really does not get enough love for the absolute joy of a phone that it is. People complaining about sharp corners get an s24 plus problem solved.
Probably is, I really should’ve checked it out back when it launched! Thanks for watching!
No worries with your channel growing you might still get a chance to review it and when you do I'll definitely be watching that video 👍
I have owned my S24 Ultra for 8 months and don't experience any battery issues. I can get a full day with moderate use. Maybe it's a third-party app issue?
Apple already announced earlier this year that they are adapting RCS later this year. We’ll see if they mention how it’ll work in iOS 18 at wwdc or if they’ll just quietly implement it.
It’s already working if you have the iOS 18 developer beta 2 download

I've had my Samsung S24 ultra since launch and I don't see any battery degradation on mine. Do you have the battery health and optimization enabled? I can use my phone all day on a 12 hr shift and still have juice when I get home. Maybe you have a faulty battery?
have you ever updated your phone or not
Thank you for the great video. The battery life, in my opinion, is very likely a software problem. I bought my S24 ultra 1 month ago. Out of the box, The battery life was terrible, not even close to my old S23 ultra. It got a bit better after the May update. But it is still not as good as everyone boasted it it to be.
Damn, yeah my experience with the battery has always been incredible - not until recently though unfortunately hope it gets better!
@@valismind Yeah I keep refreshing for new system updates LOL
There's been alot of RUclipsrs that are mainly Android user's that have made videos on how to optimize your phone for battery 🔋 without losing performance. It seems to solve any battery issues that many are having. The thing I don't think many who switch to Android from Apple don't realize is Android is a very complex system. The freedom on Android is not even comparable to Apple. This comparisons of Apple to Android it's not even comparable. Apple ecosystem consists of like 10 devices. Samsung ecosystem close to 100 devices not even counting it's compatibility with microsoft and google. Apple has control over everything. Samsung/Android you have control over everything. You don't like something on Android you change it. Apple you don't like something... you hope for Apple to change it next year 🤷♂️
@@Anamae5451 Changes from Apple are something that happen over generation LOL. I've been using both iPhone and Android for more than 6 years and Android offers the freedom that Apple never does. Battery tips works for the most part but an overall system fix for S24U is still a must-have.

As if it's another copy? I can't seem to make it stop and I have to erase

Mine does that as well. But I haven't seen it happen lately.
Where's my comment? Must pause video before commenting because an ad knocks the part I have started completely off.
watch jerry rigs everything. the s24u have the best screen on the market in terms of scratch resistance.
🔋I don't really notice my battery dieing but I do have a 40 minute drive to work with my phone plugged in for Android Auto so that does help top it off.
Excellent review. Btw, you should do full factory reset, there is no problem with battery life on s24 plus version.
My battery life sucks too did much better on the S23 ultra
my S20Fe 5g. which I got since 2019 first edition of samsung galaxy 5g still running good an no issues at all?
Same! Which is why I'm considering upgrading to this phone, purely for updated features, there's really nothing wrong with my current phone. This is the longest I've had a phone and found it still worthwhile. If it will last as long as my current (S20FE), it's more than worth the money to me.

Hi (nice test)
I have noticed that the frame around the 50MP periscope telephoto camera on my phone is slightly tilted, approximately 5-7 degrees off from the vertical or relative to the phone's vertical edge. This seems like it could be an assembly issue during production.
Could other users with a 50MP periscope telephoto lens check their cameras for any similar tilt in the frame relative to the vertical or phone edge? I’d appreciate any feedback on this.

On one hand any phone or tablet i use ill be able to do what i want on but id love to be get new stuff. Been stuck on iphones and ipads. No idea what to do. Dont see the point in getting newer versions of what i have. ( 13 pro max and m1 ipad pro ( not much upgrades on these. Havent used android properly in years so wouldnt even know where to start. Would samsung be better, would pixel? I dont know.
Samsung would definitely be better, go to a store that displays phones and use the pixel and a samsung choose which one you like more . I don't like the pixel UI it's boring
iOS 18 has RCS now... Have you talked about it?
just wanna ask how about green line issue? planning to switch from apple to samsung.
I think that if someone likes to customize things around and basically do what ever they want with a phone then you go for android but If your totally ok with what alredy comes preloaded on a phone and not be able to do more then just what they give you then you go with Apple
I always find Samsung's audio is not that loud. Is this on this phone too?
It's very loud. Good quality too.
I bought the S24 Ultra last week and apart from the peculiar battery problem, I noticed that the white balance in the front camera is bad. If on my selfie there is a moderately white surface behind me, or the vague reflection of a light, the captured photo exaggerates the white tone in the photo. Has it happened to anybody else? Do you think Samsung will fix it or will it stay?
🔋 just got the S24U 512 coming from the note 20u. So far it's great. Can't wait to actually use it beyond setting it up. Took forever to move all my files etc. Totally hate the missing SD card slot though.
I switched from iPhone to samsung Samsung S24 ultra after 12 years. The experience is good, but there are some apps (e.g Google maps) that constantly hang. Not sure if its just me or a common issue.
Great video! I was back and forth going for the ultra or the plus. I ended up getting the Plus. (Exynos) I have no regrets on my decision. The only thing was my thoughts about battery life maybe being slightly better on the Ultra because of the Snapdragon chip. According to this video it seems that there's about the same battery life with the ultra Snapdragon, as the plus exynos. So now I don't have to think about that issue anymore, thanks! 🔋
Thanks for watching!! Glad I could help in some way :)
Can someone please help me putting music on my 24 ultra.. I get my music from RUclips music I downloaded songs but it's downloaded on RUclips music app and not my phone..
Enjoyed the review overall but the camera and video review are not really important to me. Love the phone's performance and build quality. Been looking for a phone with the aesthetics of the old Sony Xperia with the square edges. Tired of the same boring looks of all the phones today. They all look the same! Absolutely no distinctive features at all. Unfortunately Sony dropped the square edges on their Xperia line in favor of the boring round edges.
Looking forward to purchasing the S24 Ultra within the next few days. One feature I found very useful and important for me with the S24 Ultra is the DEX, which is used exclusively with Samsung S-series phones. I would like to see your review on this feature.
🔋Just upgraded from an S22U to the S24U. Yep, killer deal from T-mobile did it for me. Didn't need a new phone but the deal was too good to pass up. I also **love** the gorilla glass on this so my question is simple. Can I get an screen protector made of this gorilla glass? Or, if I leave it unprotected and get the micro-scratches, will a "regular" screen protector cover those up and give me a scratch free phone once again? Great video - succinct!!
🔋 Really informative. I love that your review is after a few months, as yes, it makes a huge difference, and sometimes things aren't noticed for a while. Thank you. 😁👍
What's that wallpaper at 10:47? It's beautiful. 😍
Yes very pretty!
Did you uodate your phone and did the battery improve like others in the comments?
to make separate comment: is it as bad in overheating in simple task like browsing as internet was told me, because i literally want to decide tomorrow whether to buy it or not?
great phone however l'ttle heavy for one hand use and can cause pain over time...make sure you handle with both hands for long time using
How is S24 for videography vloging please suggest me 🙏?
I been waiting for a update on my phone and it’s not updating idk what to do, I came from iPhone never had this issue
Valismind it's been a while since I've seen you come up.Glad to see you still at it.Thanks so much for sharing 💯 ✌️
I have a s24 plus and there's a feature on there that will stop your phone from overcharging when it hits 100% or less percentage if you pick that option. Because overcharging your phone when it's at 100% will cause your battery to not hold the charge as it used to.
It wouldn’t make any difference whatsoever in 4 months though
The grainy issue would be a deal breaker for me as i often use my phones on low or minimum brightness
Hi does any facing grainy screen issue?
Have you been living under a rock? Apple already announced back in September that when they come out with the iPhone 16 it will support RCs messaging.. bro you are a tech RUclipsr how did you not know that
🔋 Dude, great video.
The battery issue is the kind of thing we need to know. Great at the start, cursing it 6 months down the line.
With a new phone on the horizon, I think this has made my mind up.
Sony Xperia 1 VI it is!
Thanks man! 👍
🔋I've had the S24U since February and I LOVE it... best phone I've ever had! I went with the violet one like yours too ❤. Thankfully, I haven't noticed a drop in the battery life at all either... maybe it's a US or Canadian issue?
Could be! Updates are different per country, so not sure! Glad you’re enjoying it though!
@@valismind the updates are actually the same most of the phones are global models . Just pushed out in batches and according to regions . This is what I was told by a samsung rep .
I have the S24, P8P, 15 PM. My current DD is the P8P. However, I picked up my 15PM again, and just updated it and checked some apps to compare. I'm disgusted by how most apps are better on the 15PM. I mean, even the GOOGLE apps work, look, and feel MUCH better than on my P8P!! WTH?? But the only two phones out of the 3 that are useable for me is the P8P and 15PM. For whatever ungodly reason, the S24 just can't hang with the other two's cameras for what I mainly use them for (low light scene with moving objects, i.e., pets, people). When I try to use settings I find online, they don't work as great as just the simple point and shoot results I get with the P8P and 15PM. After futzing around with my 15PM again, I'm having serious doubts about remaining with android. What keeps me with my P8P right now though, is the Google set of features which have spoiled me. The call screening, the anti-spam messaging filters, even the little feature of 'what's playing' on the bottom of my lock screen. I never realized how much I used and appreciate that little feature until I use my S24 phone. For me and my needs, the S24 isn't an option. It's just a battle between my P8P and 15PM now.
Super amazing video , I totally love the S24 ultra ( best phone I ever owned ) and to me is best phone out there for now.
I never experienced battery life issues. I also never charge the phone to 100%, only when absolutely needed like a festival. With my 80% I am able to have around 10hours of screen on time which means I can use if for around 18 to 30 hours because I am more on my computer rather than my phone. Great tip is do not! Charge to 100% all the time.
I have both, iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Samsung S24 Ultra. Love both of them. I gave my iPhone 15 Pro Max to my daughter.
Since RCS is coming to iOS18 I've found myself looking at S25u reviews. Think based on this I'm going to wait for the 25u and pull the trigger.
i'm having the same internal argument as you... i want the protective screen, because i abuse phones in my daily life more than most (and by that i mean the conditions around me, not how much i use the screen myself)... but the anti glare screen IS SO GOOD... i don't know if i can give that up, i'm in the sun all the time
Got the batteryissue from May-update.
From 10-12h SoT no prob, to 3-4h SoT, during shorter SoffT.
Brought it in and changed it to a OP12r, it's night and day when it comes to rely on battery.
I just watched your whole video on my tablet. I don't have the battery icon to prove I've watched your whole video. I have a Samsung23fe...and am thinking of purchasing the s24 ultra. It was between that and the iPhone 15 plus.
Think I'm going with the Samsung. Thank you for your video.😊
rectangular edges and the sleek design is just looking way smarter than the iPhones
