Galaxy S24 Ultra: Worth The Upgrade?

Ғылым және технология

Should you upgrade from the Galaxy S23 Ultra to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra? Probably not... howl.me/clrtJg17MTI (affiliate)
The S23 Ultra is the best phone of 2023 and is a fantastic phone with a lot of support left, and the same primary camera as the S24 Ultra. There are a few nice upgrades with the S24 Ultra, but mainly the phones that should consider upgrading are the S22 Ultra, S21 Ultra, and earlier devices.

    I’m in the opinion that, especially in his day and age, a phone should be held onto for at least three years. If Samsung is promising seven years for this phone and its siblings, then it must be capable of going strong for at least that long. Going forward, anyone buying the following year’s phones should only be doing it because they are upgrading from a two or more year old phone. In fact, Samsung could potentially release new phones every two years instead of one…though I’m sure that’ll never actually happen.

    Let’s be honest just going onto 4years the battery well gone and no one wants that . And there moved on to the next generation like now. Lots of people selling them after 1year like now. There be a overload of last year’s model . You may see in the shops dealers they not selling last year model s23. But trade ups will be happening. I wonder what’s the waiting on the new Samsung Ai phone now? Is it confirmed yet. From Samsung them self. 🥳 all the best wishes regardless. 👍 nice video

    I totally agree on the screen part, I did put a matte screen protector on my s23U which prevents reflection. The nits brightness outdoors is still good for me and have no complaints. However, the flat screen of the new model is really good as you can buy tempered glass easier since most of the brands now can manufacture it.

    I just got the S23 Ultra 3 months ago after having a Note 10+. I wasn't planning on getting the S23 but.....Samsung was offering up to $500 trade in and since I kept my Note 10+ in great condition, received the full trade in value. Gotta say Note 10+ was just fine for me but there no more OS upgrades since the phone is 4 years so I sprung for the S23 Ultra and it's a nice phone. I'll check back in around S28 timeframe for another look at the latest.

    I've recently ordered the S24 Ultra and plan to trade in my S22 Ultra for extra cashback. During my time with the S22 Ultra, I discovered an unexpected issue. Initially, I believed the AMOLED screen was free from any burn-in. However, upon closer inspection of the area behind the status bar, I noticed faint signs of burn-in. This was surprising, especially after learning that OneUI 6.0 lacks specific AMOLED burn-in protection features. The light burn-in on my screen was disappointing. To address this, I've started using Good Lock's QuickStar to disable all icons on the status bar, which helps, but it's a workaround. I believe a built-in feature for auto-hiding the status bar in future Android updates would be highly beneficial. It would not only enhance the overall user experience but also play a crucial role in preventing screen burn-in, especially in static areas like the status bar.

    I have an S20 FE. I want to buy outright and have for 5 years. Is the S24 Ultra worth getting for the extra incentives, or will the drop in price for the S23 Ultras that should come with the release of S24 get almost the same phone for a better deal? I can afford either (on my credit card 😅). I'm interested in the AI but have no real need, so I can wait. I have never bought a phone outright and not many phones at all, so I am curious to know opinions from a consumer point of view. Can AI transcript so I can tell messages what to type.

    Great video! You're not wrong but I guess the reason to hold onto a phone for 7 years is the value that hopefully it will still be a good phone so good. There's no reason to upgrade similar to the S23 Ultra situation. I'd say it's a very good deal coming from a pixel 6. I've never had a flagship and this phone has so many ups and downs I kept contemplating if should get the A54 just to be in the Samsung ecosystem cause I have the watch 4 classic and this thing is amazing I got it for $89 on amazon great deal. Five would be the sweet spot though, but I guess it's good we have 7 anyways right.

    So in the end I did get an order in. I'm getting the S24U in green 512 GB. I was initially going to buy it through my network but the deals Samsung are offering are too good to pass up. £50 off, a free leather case and screen protector, double storage for free, a pretty generous trading price for my Pixel 6 Pro, a 30% discount on the care+ plan, a voucher for a free galaxy watch 6 and and they will pay my Disney+dl for a year. It's kind of ridiculous. Only bad part is that I didn't want to pay for the thing in one big chunk so I had to jump through all of the hoops for the Samsung finance plan. Let's know interest so it's pretty good as loans go but filling in the online paperwork is a pain. I still had to pay like $500 upfront to even be accepted. But regardless it's done now. Pretty happy with my decision as of right now.

    The Note8 is a 6.5 years old phone, I'm currently forced to use it after a mishap with my S22U and in all honestly, it would still make a good phone if it wasn't for the fact that it's stuck to Android 8 which is a deal breaker since there's already few high profile apps like the Phillips Hue that dropped support for Oreo (I had to use an older version from ApkMirror). It's definitely a slow phone now but it still holds up well enough and would eat up current entry phones if both had the same software. So yeah, if the battery survive, the lack of software and security patches were the real issue causing "planned obsolescence".

I usually Upgrade my Phone every 2-3 Years but i think we are at point where there so little upgrades that's 2-3 years its still feel like its not worth it. I Work in a phone shop and i still see people using Samsung S6 edge S8, quite often i replace batteries for Iphone 7s or 8s. I Upgraded from S22 Ultra and after 2 years, i did remove half of google services, samsung services, debloated the phone, that improved the battery life greatly, but still i felt like i spend 1200€ on a phone that has a poor battery life and i could not use it fully which shouldn't be the full flagship experience, i also had to use FHD instead of WQHD or else the phone battery would dissapear in front of my eyes.

    To each his own. I agree s23u is an amazing phone and there seems to be only incremental reason to upgrade to the s24u. That said it depends on your audience. If your audience likes the latest and greatest, then carriers are offering $1000 trade credit on top of the free storage upgrade. For that audience, I think that plus the incremental upgrades, including a fresh battery for what could likely be a power user, is compelling. I personally like the 3x and 5x optical zoom options because 10x always seems to be too much or too little for shots I take. If your audience members want a phone that is "future proof"[none are but an upgraded version of the s23u has to be a great option here] then the s24u's 7yr Software and Security updates are great, especially if they end up passing on that phone to like a kid, grandkids, or possibly family in 3rd world countries. I like to think that this will help Samsung's value hold better than it has in the past. However I agree 5yrs security and Software updates seems like the sweetspot for anyone who might trade in their phone, because they probably have the option to get good trade in value or keep the phone at 3-4yrs. Though if today's promotions "any Galaxy" is a reflection of "tomorrow's" trade in deals 7yrs gives even more flexibility on what is a great phone now and for the foreseeable future if an audience member does not fall into the above mentioned category. I hear that the 200MP sensor is an updated one.

    It’s all for the better. From what I understand, the AI features will be filtering down to the S23 series anyway, so aside from a small spec bump in the CPU and GPU and a slightly stronger body, it’s basically the same phone anyway. If anything, you’d be losing a little in the optical zoom department from 10X to 5X with the S24 Ultra.

    The flat screen is the biggest feature of note. As someone who loves the zoom capability on the S22/23 ultras the 24 ultra may be a downgrade despite the 50mp sensor. I get a new S device every year since the s3 so I did pre order but will definitely need to compare zoom between it the S23 ultra. I always laugh at advertising these silly 7 year update guarantees lol. Yeah like anyone keeps a device that long.

    Just fyi ... but I preordered the S24 Ultra from Spectrum/Charter today and they are doing trade ins for way more than just Samsung phones. I got to keep my paid for S22 Ultra and traded in an LG Stylo 6 and got $714 trade in for it! Literally cut the cost of the new one in half and I didn't have to give up my S22 so I'll still have a decent backup phone if needed.

    Even with the "coupons," I find it hard to justify upgrading from the S23U when it will cost $695. I priced it out, including the value of trading in my phone. The math doesn't make sense in my case. There will be software updates for the S23U that will raise its level of performance. For me, it makes more sense to wait and upgrade to the S25U (or possibly the S24U) next year. As it is, the S23U is an extremely impressive and capable device in its own right, and it appears that a couple of things still need to be worked out with the S24 platform in terms of software.

    Reflections being reduced by roughly 75% is better than more brightness. It could potentially increase battery life by not needing the brightness as high but it will definitely make the viewing experience much better. I see my reflection through the phone even in low lit rooms in my house

    Honestly, I ultimately decided to upgrade from my S21 Ultra to the S24+ I never really had a need for the S-Pen and the upgrades of the S24+ over the vanilla S24 are significantly higher compared to the S23+ over the vanilla S23. The S24+ is much closer to the S24 Ultra and even with a trade-in, I can’t justify the price of the Ultra at $100 more than the last few years at $1300 instead of $1200, especially when you’re losing out a little in the camera department. That being said, I don’t mind being limited to 3X optical zoom because I’m not that much of a photographer anyway. My key reasons for choosing the S24+ are: Bigger battery (nearly as big as the S24 Ultra, QuadHD+ display which the Ultra also has, well rounded form factor, 7 years of software updates/upgrades (I plan to take full advantage of the whole 7 years for this phone) and finally it now being technically $300 cheaper than the S24 Ultra while remaining closer in features to the S24 Ultra than the S24. I always keep my phone in a durable case and the screen with a screen protector so I won’t be interacting directly with the frame of the phone anyway to care if it’s made from aluminum or titanium. IMO, I’d say the S24+ is set up to be the pick for a lot of people compared to its siblings.

    I have an S21 Ultra that I've been using since 2022, and it still works great. That said, Samsung was offering 700 for the S21U in trade in towards the S23 Ultra not too long ago and I wish I would have jumped on it. I heard so many good things about the S23U. I am hoping the S24 will be just as good. I could care less about the AI though.
