Mostly loving the S24U so far. Very snappy indeed. Two big disappointments so far - still no update to home up to have a vertical scrolling app drawer and, much more importantly, the screen is not in fact flat but falls off at the edges - so no well-integrated glass screen protectors yet again. Deffo looking forward to trying the Mi 14 Ultra....
oppo looks better, 1 turn off for me is that all samsungs phones look the same and almost everyone has one. I prefer something that stands out a bit. I love to hear how the camera holds up. Some people say thayt its great other say it oversharpened and overexposes when detecting faces.
Many thanks for your review and appreciate it very much. I'm wondering if it's worth buying the Oppo X7 as I got the X6 but as you've used the X6 would be great to get your opinion. I'm also looking at the VIVO X100 Pro. Is the Oppo X7 a good upgrade from the X6 and also is the X7 better than the VIVO X100 Pro.
@@AverageDadOfficial Looking forward to it. I'm pretty much tied between keeping the Oppo X6 or going for the X7 or VIVO X100 Pro but I am looking for something which is great for night photography in very dark environments. The X6 is very good though.
Im glad the algorithm reccomended me your videos. I love this comparison i like the oppo but there are too many downsides with importing for me so i guess ill still to my s22 ultra for a bit longer
All the drawbacks you just mentioned about the Oppo just now is why the OnePlus 12 surges ahead for me. It's as global as the Samsung, cheaper, and looks as premium (to me anyway).It also has a much lower resale value than the Samsung since all the normies don't even know this brand so they won't pick your pocket and flog it. Another good review.
Such a shame Oppo have pretty much pulled out of the UK/European market. I have the Find X5 from 2022 and it's a decent phone. I'm now using a S23 Ultra as my daily driver, but still plan to get the S24 Ultra at some point as I'm a phone enthusiast. I'm looking forward to your S24 Ultra vs OnePlus 12 comparison, as that's another phone which has caught my eye. Just a quick question. Even though the S24 Ultra has gorilla glass armor, is a screen protector still needed? Gorilla glass armor is meant to be more scratch resistant.
Nah you don't need a screen protector - watch PBKs durability test. He rubbed sand all over the screen and it was flawless. Funny thing is I'm currently also using an S23 Ultra, but in China at the moment so I might grab the X7 Ultra soon. For me, the software experience of OneUI was honestly disappointing. Its really sluggish, crashes alot, and I feel is not fully optimised for efficiency. I tried the X7 Ultra in store the other day, and ColorOS literally feels 1:1 to IOS with how smooth and fluid everything felt. Also the battery on the S23 Ultra is absolutely terrible, and thats surprising given how everyone praised it as the battery king. Constantly having battery anxiety throughout the day, where I would have to put it to power saving mode at 60% and it sucks man...
@@koketsuThanks for letting me know about PBK's video. I've just watched it and I'm impressed that it didn't get any scratches on the screen. That's reassuring to know a screen protector isn't necessary. I'm a fan of Chinese phones too. I'm especially impressed with the budget and midrange options available. While I'll probably still end up getting the S24 Ultra, I'll still be looking at the competition and picking something up like the OnePlus 12 too. I agree with you about the S23 Ultra's battery life. I'm a heavy user and the battery seems like it drains too quickly. Hoping the S24 Ultra's will be better.
Whats nice about the oppo is you can just slide the brightness all the way up, where with the samsung it always prompts you to turn of adaptive display or whatever then you have to click no then brightness all the way. Always annoyed me on my s23u and s22u
Appreciate all your reviews and thoughts on all the latest phones. I love to do a lot of research before deciding but super struggling to decide but your videos are much appreciated. I'm curious where you ordered the Samsung from to get the watch for free? or did I misunderstand that?
@@wouter.d.h. the transfer from my s23 ultra hasn't been as straightforward as I hoped. Plus not sure why but my galaxy store is just not working at all
Can you compare the IQOO 12 global as well lol 😂 that's also what I'm looking at. It's a shame oppo etc pulled out of the UK markets we need more competition for prices to fall.
I collect my S24 Ultra in Titanium Black 512GB on Saturday. I have also purchased a magsafe ESR case and ESR privacy screen protectors x 2 and 1 set of camera lens protectors. I am so excited.
Anyone else think samsungs colors are ugly this year? The only good colors are the black and titanium grey. Everything else is ugly. Even the light blue which i loved on the s23u cause it was paired with a beautiful silver is no paired with a weird grey color.
Regarding the anti-relective coating I have the S24 ultra I still have the S21 ultra the S24 ultra colours are washed out and muttered compared to the S24 ultra the S21 videos on RUclips 4k hdr images are way better than the S24 ultra the S21 is brighter m9re dynamic and better highlights you would think the S21 ultra was the newer phone its the better screen I'm seriously considering returning the S24 ultra
El oppo faind x7 ultra lo paso por ensima yo tuve el Samsung y el iPhone 15 pro max y ahora tengo este oppo fascinante hace todo lo que tiene ese Samsung y ensima saca fotos mejores y para los que no saben viene vidrio templado para estás pantallas curvas yo le puse al mío y no da ningún problema los problemas se los inventa l gente sin escusas Samsung que palisa sos más marketing sos igualito a apple
I just ordered the black OPPO Find X7 Ultra this morning. So of course now I'm watching all the videos I can find, because that's how I roll😅
As someone who doesn't drive and only wears mechanical watches, Chinese ROM phones are ideal for me!

How did you get the watch, screen protector and case in the samsung box? I pre-ordered and mine didn't come with that lol
I'm hearing that the Orange is closer to a light brown or tan color.. thoughts?
I have the s23 ultra and i have to admit that orange color and anti reflective glass on the s24 ultra are awesome

@@mattk5020 the differences between x6 and x7 are tiny. check some Chinese videos on it

Thanks for watching!
Is that correct that the oppo doesn't connect to my Samsung watch 4
Yes, correct
Great insights on both devices, as usual Mike, I'd still pick the Oppo, but both are fantastic devices for the candy bar loving crowd.
Thanks for sharing

Also . As an Chinese brand. Normies will be scared that the ccp will spy on them . Ahaha

Oppo recently signed some agreement with Nokia, so there's a chance they might come back to the European market in the future.

@@LordAngelusThat's good news. I really do hope that happens.
great job, the S24 ultra looks great in that pitaka case,

Please can you tell me where you got the oppo for £800
Where i get all my imports... Wonda mobile! link in video description

Just received my s24 ultra today. So far iv got mixed feelings, is your galaxy store app working ?
Why mixed feelings?
@@wouter.d.h. the transfer from my s23 ultra hasn't been as straightforward as I hoped. Plus not sure why but my galaxy store is just not working at all
yes
@@AverageDadOfficialnot sure what's going on with mine then. Even on my s23 ultra it's not working
White shoes is not in the building,but I do like your vids.👍
Where is the safest place to buy OPPO Find X7 Ultra?
Wonda.... link in description
Ala white shoes... Lol.... A different video for a change. Nice
Great video as always but am slightly biased as received my Orange Titanium S24 Ultra today too 😉
Thanks for the brightness comparison. The Declared brightness of these phones is never realistic.
Unboxing better then Oppo😂😂
Yeah Samsung comes with TPU and 100W charger in the box 😂
thanks for comparation
I need a collab with Floss
haha. so do I!!
I want to see Nubia battery vs S24U
Can you compare the IQOO 12 global as well lol 😂 that's also what I'm looking at. It's a shame oppo etc pulled out of the UK markets we need more competition for prices to fall.
Can you please make a camera comparison as well?
yes 💯
Those phones are beautiful
