- S24 Ultra 4 Months Later, do I regret it?
It's been 120 days since the galaxy S24 Ultra has been released, and while I've had a lot to say about it in the past, this long-term review sums up my HONEST recent experience with the S24 Ultra 4 months later.

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
@@OJxiii 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.
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
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.
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
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.
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. CZcams, 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 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.
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
🔋🤙🏽 I do agree with the battery draining quicker that was a spot on review! 💯
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. 🙂
That's good to hear! Hope it gets better for 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
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
I use an S24U, and I find it almost a perfect phone👌🏻👍🏻. iPhone users only use iPhone because it's an iPhone...🤔🤨🙄
Blue bubble
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.
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 💯 ✌️
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 CZcamsrs 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.
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.
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.
Turn off extra dim
@@mrmossimop did that. Nothing seems to change the behavior.
I used an iPhone XS Max for around 4 years until I switched to the Galaxy s24 ultra and to be honest it's been pretty hard to get used to it. There are features on the iPhone that I really got used to and it's missing on the Samsung. And all these features I noticed missing are like all small features (but very useful) that could be easily implemented with a software update.
Great video! Real life experiences and no sales pitch. Thanks! On windows 7 no battery emoji.
I love your content. Your videos are so informative without all the fluff
🔋 Thanks bro! Well explained, I'm gonna follow your stuff now 👍
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.
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'! 😉
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.
Unfortunately. In Scunthorpe in England. Can't get One Plus products?
This has been a very informative and honest review! I have the same phone and am also very satisfied. The battery was an issue, but the software updates seem to have improved this and is no longer a concern of mine. 🔋
Used the 15 pro max as main phone.
The only stuff I miss from iOS are carplay (Android auto is terrible), and the lidar sensor.
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
🔋 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 am actually upgrading to this phone this week .. this was helpful! Always been Samsung and presently have an 22Ultra
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.
@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 😁
You'll love it. I've had mine since launch fantastic phone. I'll be keeping it for awhile with 7 years of updates you can't go wrong 😁
Where's my comment? Must pause video before commenting because an ad knocks the part I have started completely off.
Great phone! I just tried one for the last week and a half but ended up going back to my iPhone. The customization that android allows along with the hardware is a great match. That said, for me it all came down to third party apps. They just work better on iPhone. The call spam filter on iPhone is also a lot better and I could not get the visual voicemail to work on the S24 Ultra.
🔋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.
Did you uodate your phone and did the battery improve like others in the comments?
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 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.
🧨 can't find the battery. I still have the 22 ultra, love it. Had the 20 ultra before & absolutely will be getting the 24 ultra at some point.
🔋 was really considering this but having continious software issues with not only my current S23 where I keep getting "Google Play services has stopped working " and just freezing on just about all my Samsung devices I really don't want to go down the Samsung route again. Will rather get a iPhone or Huawei
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 :)
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 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 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.
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 CZcamsrs 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.
If you use your device heavily for streaming, the battery is supposed to last 5 hours ( 5 hours of streaming) between charges.
You can stretch the battery life by turning off apps running in the background, turning on dark mode, and by turning off animations. If there's an option to turn off the pen, try that as well.
My only issue is that the fingerprint doesn't work with my screen protector.
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
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.
I've used my note 8 since it first introduced in 2017, up until February of this year. I love the 24 ultra. It was definitely time to upgrade.
Yr note 8 lasted 7 years?? Thats amazing. Mine lasted till 2020

@@krayozmines Yep...until Bluetooth kept dropping, apps were no longer supported, and calls dropped.
I bought my s24 ultra 1st day and after some months now the battery is trash, i always charged it til 80 but now i play like brawl stars 2 hours and i goes from 80 to 50 thats crazy bad i hope the fix it
10:08 RCS is coming to the iPhone in a few months. Dont give up the samsung
Does it lag after using for a while, I noticed after using Samsung phones as time goes by it slows down unlike iPhone its consistently smooth.
Actually, not even throwing shade this is completely reversed - there’s even a class action law suit w/ Apple about battery throttling which reduces performance in their devices. This does not happen on Samsung.
@@valismindreally fair review , what do you think of the S24 plus ? If possible could you review one please
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.
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?
🔋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 .
Ive been noticing my S24 Ultra runs alot slower from day 1 to day 60 . I found when i clear all my app caches it runs smoother (especially youtube) and clearing the memory. But tbh performance wise for day to day use it performs almost identical to my S22 FE. Screen is more solid and love the square cornering on the screen . I bought this phone for gaming and still checking it out . Going to use steam link and update this post . But if ur using ur phone for day to day use without heavy demand . Ur not going to notice much of an improvement. This phone is built for specifics for people that know and need them . Average users would just be wasting they're time and money imo if ur not very tech handy. ALSO very importantly imo the fingerprint scanner is VERY touchy!! First screen i got wouldnt detect my fingerprint at all. 2nd one that said its compatible did work but its still about 50/50 success rate .. i recommend buying a name brand screen even tho its expensive. Amazon screens or 3rd party screens dont wory very well. Its SUPER sensitive
Im one who would have preferred they keep the 10x optical. It was much better for me.
Battery life has exceeded that of my S23 ultra which i thought would never happen and and ive had the 24 since launch. Its very impressive in that regard.
Love the flat screen as well.
Still kind of prefer my S23 ultra [love that red colorway) due to the camera though.
I wonder if Samsung will up the size as per Huawei p20 at 7"?
I got the 1T 24 ultra! Boom!
What's that wallpaper at 10:47? It's beautiful. 😍
Yes very pretty!
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
Great content. As for battery life, it's weird. You get one update the battery life is fantastic. Then you get another update, and the battery life is 🤮. So I think it's more the updates than the phone itself. All phones have problems like that. My s23 ultra still runs like a beast.
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.
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
0:50 What game is that?
Pre-ordered mine and loved almost everything about it. I did end up selling it just because even with a case the corners of the phone were really uncomfortable for my hands. I'm probably in the minority, but I ended up going back to an S23 Ultra and yes I do miss the flat anti glare screen but aside from that the experience is identical.
Can not wait to upgrade IPhone 16 Pro Max; still love my iphone 13 Pro. you can get 24 Ultra for bag of chips this past Memorial weekend LOL
Nice detail video
Huh, another content creator with the DJI mic. Those things must be popping off. I am seeing them everywhere!

I decided to switch to Android recently out of frustration with the iPad situation. Not the dots. I just really, really want a laptop I can draw on. So Instead of just going Surface Pro to replace the iPad, I'm switching everything Apple to the best counterpart. I figured I'm tired of the bullshit of ecosystem chains, and I'm going to just go for the best product for my specific use case and then hopefully mesh them all together.
I'm torn on the S24 Ultra so far. It's obviously the best for my use case coming with the S-pen, but I am not a fan of the design compared to the Apple. There wasn't a white or gold version (rubber duck yellow is not gold). And those corners dig into my hand. I was used to a bigger phone with the iPhone Pro Max, but something about the curved button just makes it easier to hold.
Right now my biggest problem with Android (which I hope to solve one day), is that notifications don't stay on my Always On Display. If I get a text message, if I'm lucky it'll flash it on the top. But then it just disappears into an icon in a list of icons.
I want it to display the first line or two of the message passively, all the time on Always on Display until I read it. I like being able to have my phone sitting in my office and being able to glance at it. See who the sender is, and if I need to respond. But right now it's just an Icon, and I have no idea if it's important or not until I physically unlock the phone.
I don't like that the power button is on the opposite side of the iPhone.
I've yet to mess with pay features, but we'll see. I used Apple Pay a lot, but I haven't taken my new phone out yet to test it.
The speakers are noticeably worse than the iPhones. Sadness, but not a dealbreaker.
Ultimately, I'd rather have "good enough" then simply impossible. My two biggest gripes with Apple recently is that I really want the Apple Pencil to work with the iPhone. God it would be ironic if they made the iPhone 16 work with the new Apple Pencil, but unlikely."
And the second issue is, I just don't want to carry two items, a Macbook and an iPad with me when I travel. I basically need a laptop that I can draw on. And Windows very much preferred.
You will love Dex. Most who have left the Apple ecosystem prison discover Dex and it's all over for going back to Apple 😂
They're great! Been loving DJI products lately, and yeah you will love the ecosystem, dex alone is worth!
I've fallen in love with this channel at the first video I've watched, as a person who consumes alot of content, should I get the s24 ultra or wait for the foldable that are soon coming out
Thanks!!! I appreciate it :) and it depends, have you used the Fold? Super great for the first week, but sometimes can be quite inconvenient. If you are a person that would get the benefit from it, go for it. I love them, but I’m too clumsy to daily it to be honest I’ve tried. I almost destroyed my Fold 5 😭😭
@@valismind I've honestly never tried it because of the cover screen since my hands are relatively large
For pics and videos, why not just text a quick share link?
Lol i have the same feeling about battery from my S24 Ultra! With max battery saving option i got 3h 30min SOT max. I have a phone from Day one and it was not like that. Samsung nuked battery performance with the update but with One UI 6.1 they deleted historic data about battery performance.
🔋Should I reconsider my upgrade this week m
I am glad to say that I have both phones Galaxy s24U and IPhone 15 pro max. I use both phone and each cellphone device has its own unique character.
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.😊
Awesome review, gonna buy this if only I can afford this lol🔋🔋
Ahah thanks for watching!!
🔋 nice review
is the battery still rubbish on the s24 ultra?
Yes the battery doesn't last longer than I thought, they Need to do something about it.
Good news to one of your points. Apple announced they're gonna start using RCS with iOS 18.
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
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
I thought the battery problem was just happening to mine. 🔋🔋🔋
It does not feel good in the hand. I'd prefer rounded edges like on the 21 ultra. Everything else is fine, I'd say.
Another banger, thanks Bro...
Thanks!!
🔋 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.
*The S25 Ultra should use a 7.05" 1440p panel 19.2:9 aspect ratio ĉ 1920 Hz PWM + DC dimming with Gorilla Armour, peak brightness being 3450nits, HBM at 2550nits and 1875nits is auto mode.
*A 5475mAh with 65W fast charging and wireless 25W charging.
*All 50MP sensors. The largest being the ultrawide 1.02" LYTIA900, the primary 1/1.12" Samsung GN3 with 2 axis OIS, the 3x with 1/1.31" ĉ 3 axis IBIS, the 5x to be upgraded to 1/1.95" with fixed increase magnification to 1/2.51" with 7.5x & 5axis Gimbal.. The front camera should be Samsung JN1 1/2.76" with 111° FoV with OIS
*ToF 3D sensor for face recognition in a centred pill cutout with the front facing 50MP and the Qualcomm Ultrasonic Max Gen3 sensor.
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
I always find Samsung's audio is not that loud. Is this on this phone too?
It's very loud. Good quality too.
U are right about the 🔋 life
Loved your work❤❤❤
Thanks!! 🙏
🔋So are you staying committed to team android? I'm jumping ship today, thanks for video!
I have an iPhone 12 and s24 ultra except for the size of the s24 ultra I’m more than satisfied with it the iPhone 12 on the other hand is handy but the battery sucks have to recharge constantly I should probably dump it but it’s small size is comfortable you got to experiment find what is best for you
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
Apple already announced they are adopting RCS support...just saying you forgot to mention that.
I hate it I've always had Samsung but I've had this a couple months wish I'd taken it back within first two weeks. It does weird things e.g starts taking photo even when it's on table next to me. I can heat myself talking when making a call and thebperson I'm calling says they can hear me say same thing twice ...what on earth is going on lots of other little things. Not happy at all now stuck in 3yr contract with Tesco 😒
SMS is going to be fixed with iOS 18 and RCS implementation and yeah, battery sucks so far. Maybe June's update will fix it
Had my 24plus for a while now , battery is still immaculate
Time Flys pretty fast no may its 4 months already.
Rcs on the iPhone this fall. It's already been announced.
We'll see how it's implemented
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 CZcamsr how did you not know that
I recently swtiched from an iPhone 13 Pro Max to an S24 Ultra 512GB because I wanted my S pen back. I only switched to Apple because my best friend wanted me to get one so we could Facetime and in the 2.5 years I had it we facetimed maybe 3 times.
