Real world I've tested my S24U against most of the other top flagship models from friends and family, and I totally disagree with you that it's not the best in anything. It has the best screen hands down. It has the best feature suite hands down. Just because YOU don't use some features, doesn't mean they aren't vital to others and hands down a better feature than other phones rendition of features. The SPen jumps to mind. The SPen can do sooooooo many more things than 99% of users realize it can do. There are hour long SPen feature tutorials which move at light speed. Most people just don't know all it can do. And that is the case with many other features on this phone. The sound is as good as any phone I've heard, or better. The gaming experience is unsurpassed. The battery life is longer than any other phone I've ever used, including my S23U. And I keep my phone on full brightness. This phone is the full package and I defy anyone to approach me with their flagship phone, sit down side by side and put them through their paces. I've won handily with everyone I've tried this with, especially CRapple people.

Hahaha, I agree. Just got the phone a few days ago and it's absolutely amazing. Although, the image processing in some situations really shines the camera in a bad light. I don't recall this happening with my previous phone (S21 Plus). I hope they fix this in a software update. Too much contrast, blowing out the light in images with shadows a bit too much.
Samsung recently enhanced battery performance way way better in the May patch which was rolled out a day ago. Unfortunately your video was uploaded a day behind and you missed out on the battery enhancement updates in this video. Right now the battery performance on the S24 Ultra is so freaking good.
bro your videos are so high quality and just feel smooth 👍
The views you are getting are criminally low. You are doing everything correctly, nay, perfect. Why is it this low? I've been following you for a couple of years now, I don't get it.
the format of your videos is just perfect ...
for me that coating is a life changer, I am a software developer and i work in office and basically semi light places and thwere less reflaction and darker screen makes day night difference than my s23 ultra.

0:30 where I can find this wallpaper please?
waiting on my s24 ultra. upgrading from the 21 ultra and can´t wait. coming this week :D
I can see you spend a lot of times to choose colours, and tools to make these videos. A huge congratulations because its amazing. Also the background always fantastic so yeah you're on the top in my list because I always enjoy every single second when I watch your videos. Thank you for your job and your time. Peace. 😊
I have an s23 ultra and the s24 ultra..the performance is noticable but only slightly. I have noticed that occasional stutter is no longer there. I know its not a big deal hahq but i did notice. Great video man.
This is my first time watching anything on this channel. I was so impressed by the quality of the content I subscribed the minute I finished watching the video.
Watching your 21:9 video on my Xperia 1 V is a cinematic delightful.
Always excited for this series ❤🎉 Also the Intro.. wow
Mate watching your beautifully crafted reviews is a therapeutic process of its own.

Bro it's really sad that we can only view the good homescreen setup in his app (Palette) and the wallpapers which I really wanted I can't get them
i'm trying to build that app bar similar to he has but i just can't get it right, what do i do??
i have changed my icon pack and when the phone goes in aod it doesnt invert colors like it does in the lockscreen. So my icons are black but their color should become white in aod for me to be able to actually see them. It doesnt. do you have a solution to this?
I am so jealous of his wallpaper collection. They are amazing

Can you explain the face unlock issue further please? I don't understand why you would be bothered by the fingerprint sensor disappearing from the screen once it has recognised your face and unlocked, the phone is already unlocked so you want the option to have two forms of unlocking simultaneously?

Fingerprint scanner is better as works through tempered glass screen protectors now. My 23 ultra had to have a cut out or weird gel where the scanner was. The 24 doesn't

What a beatiful video wow, you're awesome bro!
Just to add my own views, because i bought the ultra pretty much at the presentation in January. short version: user experience 99.9% matches my user experience with my old Note 20 ultra longer version: The phone looks better (which is actually important to me). Not as much as people (youtuber) try to make out .. with the more squared off edges, the flat screen and so - those design aspects are actually minor or irrelevant. What DOES make a difference is not having the huge camera mountain of the Note 20 ultra in the rear. The screen itself feels nearly the same to me. I know it has a lot more brightness (not so relevant in my country - we do not have too much sunshine), better colour presentation and whatever else .. but for me, a casual user - it is 100% the same. (and that includes the rounded corners vs. the flat screen ... user-wise, no difference) The battery lasts - what a surprise - for a similar amount of time. Yes, i am sure, i ended my "day" on the Note at around 20% .. and i end my day on the 24 ultra at 45% .. but none of that makes a difference. I put both to "protect battery mode" at 80% .. charge them when i get home and leave them on stand by for the night and ready to be used for the next day. The AI stuff .... not useless .. but useless to me, i dont do photos with a phone. The camera ... same thing .. not taking photos on a phone - they all suffer from processing, no matter what phone. Size and weight - it is heavier than the Note 20 ultra, but not so much that it makes a difference. Materials - this one is actually a big one. I appreciate the inclusion of the MUCH tougher display glass, that seems "nearly" on par with sapphire (but not quite). I do not know how shatter resistant it is .. because i tend not to drop my phone(s) ... but i guess that it is glass - and so it can crack. My connections and hotspot connectivity "seems" noticably better on the 24 ultra compared to the note. I do not know why .. but i get a consistant and good connectivity on the 24 ultra in rooms and places where i did not get a signal on the note 20. Connecting to the hotspot also works much better. my conclusion is: The 24 ultra is a good phone. However .. Samsungs (and most phone makers) improvements are only miniscule. Ever since the .. i think the s10 (about that time) .. Samsung has not made great leaps anymore. I could easily do everything i am doing today with a S10 5G. Much like i could do everything with an iPhone X today or a Huawei Mate 40 ... phones have plateaued.
@scotttracy9333
Ай бұрын
I dont think the s10 had esim. To be fair that's a big deal. Allows you to have dual sim phone, and great if you travel internationally. My note 20 ultra has a memory card slot, which I value greatly. Especially when I dropped an old phone in water and it fried. But stuff on my memory card was saved. I'll stick with my N20U till it stops working. To your point not much improvement since the N20 to warrant an upgrade
Great review. watching from my s24+, not the ultra though. But I love this phone .
Performance is clearly better on the S24U and better optimization. I don't care about your points either i use them both. S24U is really fluid and i try to make stutter i can lol. I did make the S23U stutter on heavy load a couple of times. Performance difference aint drastic but its there for sure
Bro, why are you lying? What do you mean you can't see the difference side by side when using other phones when you're referring to the anti-reflective gorilla armor glass? I was using the S23 Ultra and I pre-ordered the S24 Ultra so I've been using it for 3 months and yes, the phones are different. Especially the display when reading emails outdoors. C'mon.
Not totally in agreement with all your views but can I just say: great video production !! Top notch quality reviewing indeed. Will follow you just on that.
That thumbnail is clean!
Feels nice to finally be able to say this: Watching this on my S24 ultra 1:24

Thumbnail phone wallpaper?
Any green light after 2 years?
One issue bothers me , on Samsung internet browser when you call the keyboard it slides a bit laggy . Overall though great phone
Change from an iPhone 14 pro to this and I love it
Upgraded from an iPhone 13 and I am enjoying the change
It is already 3 months 😅wow the time goes very fast
smart choice would have been to go with the 0.5x 1X 5x 10x. The 3x is useless bc the sensor is so small that most of the time it crops into the main sensor to get light
This aspect ratio is PERFECT.
Can you make a S23 ultra review? How the phone is after 1 year.

IMO, Samsung should have opted for a higher MP 3x sensor, and should have retained the 10x optical zoom camera. That way, we'd have got a better 3.1x-9.9x digital zoom range as compared to previous generation phones without compromising with the amazing space zoom capabilities. And needless to say that we'd still be having 3x-6x portraits range in this setup too, so a win-win there too.

QUE PASA CON LA SELFIE PORQUE SE VE MEDIO BORROSO?
Android has an issue which no one seems to address: Very poor cameras on everything but Pixel, premium Samsung and premium Sony. Everything else is junk and you'd think that in the budget segment(the highest sales volume market) would see better cameras, CPU and design but they seem to churn out the same phones year after year but with new names and designs. I mean look at the CPUs: they all are basically still equal to a SD 690/695 which came out 3 years ago I think. No 7 series and no 8 series gen 1 etc. If Apple makes the SE good and affordable alot of these OEM's will see a massive loss, especially Samsung.
Does anyone know the icon packs?

Great video, Sam! Love the quality of your clips. However, as someone who owned the S24 ultra and then returned it after a full month of daily use, I can't agree with "honestly, it has no issues whatsoever". For me, the cameras have been hit or miss (mostly the latter, unfortunately); even turning off all post-processing has not improved the results. Portraits of my kids were a mess in almost every situation, as were selfies where more than 2 people were in the frame. And there were multiple software bugs (apps not loading properly or hanging, like KZread, Gmail, Microsoft apps etc.). To add insult to injury, note the display issues so many people are complaining about. Even the sales rep I returned the phone to mentioned that a lot of unhappy customers are returning the device. So yeah, not quite a success for Samsung, unfortunately, especially when you consider the price. Hopefully they will have a better proposition next year.
