7 years security update and 7 years OS upgrade is value for money in itself. Weldone Samsung.
never believe marketing until it happens
i’ll just pretend thats not a feature. How many such promises have google broken? How many promises has samsung broken? Buy something for what it is today, not 7 years from now. No one will be using these phones 7 years from now anyway, it is designed to be obsolete long before then
@@bp9696i have the S21U and it still is up to date and is already promised to get the neext few OS updates too..
Well done Google*
“Titanium is only applied on the device frame. Frame does not include volume and side keys.” 🤣
Galaxy AI is just Samsung’s cheap marketing; it doesn’t actually exist.
Samsung uses Google Gemini and Google Cloud with features developed by Google.
@@bp9696So you’ll only be convinced 7 years later genius?
BS! No one, especially in the US (where Samsung has most of customers, due to no competition) has a phone for more than a year.
My S20 is 4 years old and it's still getting monthly security updates, I've always respected that.
my iPhone 5s from 2013 still got a security update in 2022
He's not trying to argue bro.... iPhone good, Samsung good
@sokiee Is it as responsive and fast as the new one?
New ones are always faster @@baddu88
@@lesleyhaan116nah who tf still uses these cranky old iphones, you can buy an old $200 iphone x and it'll probably be 10x better than those old antiques
I've got mine ordered. Going from an S8+ to the S24 Ultra. Big jump.
That's a huge jump damn. I'm going from s20 to s24 with Verizon
i got mine last monday, coming from S21 Fe.. it´s awsome ^^
I thought I was bad with my S10+
I went from A135G to S24 Ultra
Wow me 2.. Bought S8 in 2015 time for an upgrade.
I switched from iPhones to the s23 Ultra, and just upgraded to the s24 Ultra today. It's amazing. I've never been so satisfied with a phone
Were you able transfer all your app and info from your iPhone to the S24 Ultra?
@@Kingkeem305 yep and it was surprisingly easy! There's an app that's incredibly easy to use. I also realized I used way more Google services even on an iPhone, Gmail, Google docs, etc, so it was a really easy move.
@@Kingkeem305 yea its really easy process
@@Kingkeem305 yeah super easy and simple
@Kingkeem305 yeah, it lets you transfer your data when setting it up
Not that you’re ever overly negative in your reviews but I think this is the most glowing review I’ve seen you make over the years. You seem legitimately satisfied, even a little giddy about the refinements, without going over the top. I’m excited for this device
It is paid advertising by Samsung 🤷♂️
This "Apple Employee" literally said 'They boxed out the corner of the screens in the Samsung just like an iPhone' 🤡🤡🤡. Marques, have you ever noticed the corners of the iPhone.
'This guy is the greatest investment Apple have ever made'.
@@shameernazar4466 this guy made a sueprb video all praise for the android and here you are still calling him the apple employee hahahaha cant really please everyone huh? 🤣
@@MiniMie1383he literally has a sponsor at the end of the video
Of course he’s going to give it tons of positives. The Samsung phone in the United States has no other android competitors. It’s the only premium Android sold in the United States. He’s not comparing it to the iPhone. Which he absolutely prefers over this device.
Biggest improvement : SCRATCHES AT LEVEL 7 WITH DEEPER GROOVES AT LEVEL 8!!!
got goosebumbs when jerry said that
they make cases and screen protectors so what is the big deal with that
@@haroldk724some people don't like to use screen protectors
@@haroldk724 I hate screen protectors. Haven't used any in probably 7 years, and I've only gotten one small scratch that is only barely visible when the screen is off and there's a light shining on it at an angle. Having a better built in screen just gives it a better chance for something like that to not happen again.
@@haroldk724 Phone stills breaks with those
I've had the S8 forever and last night my phone's charging port finally gave up. I got it fixed, but because I was eligible for an upgrade, I bought an S24 Ultra today, largely due to how you meticulously broke down the phone's specs and because of your glowing review. Thanks for the thorough review!
my s8 died this morning :( i'm so sad lol. Now i need a new phone idk if i should get the iphone 15 pro max or S24 ultra
@@teen21Just got my s24 ultra, and I already own an iPhone 14 plus. There's literally no reason to pick the iPhone over the samsung, unless you have a lot of apple stuff and just want to go for the apple ecosystem.
Ive had my S23+ for a year and i had switched from my iPhone XR. Boy I never see myself switching back. These new Samsung's are absolute beasts!
Thanks for the review mate. Just ordered the 24 Ultra. I'm using my phone more and more these days for youtube so it's good to see these camera improvements and also durability 👍
love your videos big man
Better phones yet no content with the CZcamsr mass exodus. Weird dichotomy
Hey, if you're running out of ideas, I'd like to see more food preparation vids from you: Chickens, tomatoes, the works.
Samsung AI is only free for the first year though!
I am using s24 ultra but I want to how to know how to turn of ai optimization in 50mp and 200mp it's making photos like oil painting
As a pixel user, I was really fascinated Google did so much for them with the AI stuff. Would love a full video on that
Samsung is the main driving force behind Android, they kind of need to.
the search by image/camera is on every android phone ever made it is part of google services. samsung just made it easier by adding a shortcut for it
Multiple Android Flagships get the same exact shortcut for 'Circle To Search' on January 31st. @@MarwanMahdy
I'm a long-time pixel user and will probably move to S24U. Given the price of the top end pixel Vs this... I think it's great value. I'm also a bit fed-up with the lack of pixel features such as no USB-C to HDMI.
yea some other reviewers did tests on the AI stuff and the Pixel still seems to do a better job when it comes to things like magic eraser. It provides better results.
I just got my s9. I upgraded from the s7 edge. Will get this on 2030.
You're like my Korean physician brother lol. He went from 7 to 9. He doesn't care, neither do you, & that's cool in a guy.
That's still a great phone, outdated, but does everything well enough. My father wont give up his S10, I've tried to upgrade him 2 times since the S21 and he turns me down everytime.
We might living on Mars by then,
Cool, you're still have a year of security updates
Just upgraded from Note 10 Plus to S24 Ulta..holy crap..major upgrade. Love it
Just want to put this out there. I'm a field technician that deals with work orders that have to get signed by customers upon completion. One of the most underrated benefits of the s-pen is not having to print out or carry around stacks of paper to get signed. They can just sign a pdf and I can email it in, instead of having to deliver the paperwork, etc. Really is a game changer that I don't see often enough... beside saving the paper and ink, it's just so much easier.
Edit: All these comments suggesting a finger, external stylus or tablet are clearly inexperienced and are missing the benefits of minimalism and all the specific added s-pen functionality from Samsung. Too much to list. Clearly not professionals. I've tried the other options, s-pen is by far superior in many ways. Also, never said you have to go out and buy the newest $1300 phone. There's other options with an s-pen. It's not exclusive to this one phone in particular. Shoot I still even use my Tab s6 lite with an s-pen. Point is the s-pen functionality is superior regardless of device. AND I have an iPad pro with pen. Guess what? The s-pen is superior in every way. ALSO have a Samsung laptop with s-pen, interchangeable with the rest. iPad has some good unique art apps. Outside that, so does PC and android. Obviously, I am a fan of pens. S-pen is king!
I had trouble using my s pen to sign a pdf document and sending it through email. How did you sign a lock protected document?
@@thelazyhandyman8581 There are services like signNow that offer secure pdf signing and you don't even need to sign with a pen each time; you can save a signature and use it repeatedly, then send an email request to the signee
I deliver for Walmart and sometimes it asks for the customers signature and J let them use the s pen
@@thelazyhandyman8581i think you need to have paid pdf reader to creat a copy to sign. I mean, why would anyone send you a protected pdf if you need to modify it?

This is probably the first phone review from MKBHD I've watched, where he doesn't mention anything he doesn't like about the phone. This phone is great!!
Samsung must’ve given a lot of money 😂
@@farhadrahmetow9835 The phone is just this good, and was less than 1000 bucks during pre-order
Trashy downgrade
Smartphones are pretty much at the top of their game. Great cameras,screens, fast chips, lots of features. It’s hard to imagine how it gets much better😂
He mentioned the price
whenever I purchase a new phone I come here first...for the most thorough, honest and non-biased review. appreciate you my guy because you let me know features I never knew existed! thank you
Get me a Samsung fone I will love u
his reviews aren't biased, only seem that way
he is the best reviewer ever
always sincere and bold
No había disfrutado tanto de un Review de un S24 Ultra..genial que ahora estás en contenido en español! 🥳💪🏾👏🏾
Man hearing Marques give such an overwhelmingly positive review of a Samsung phone feels like a rarity. Glad i waited for this phone! Nice review as always!
Ikr
It's hard not to give a very positive review when Samsung advertising budget makes them millionaires.
Rarity?!?? He does that EVERY YEAR!😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🗑️
I agree with you, he gets paid by Samsung and Apple that's why LG's mobile division died @@helix9268
@@helix9268Exactly!!! You know these influencers have their hands deep in Samsung's and Apple's pockets. Never trust a CZcamsr that rarely if ever has anything negative to say about what they're "reviewing", because nothing is perfect.
From the s9+ to the s24 ultra. This upgrade is sheer love!
I am upgrading to S25+ next year and I have an S21U. You made a good decision I bet.
Nice i wish i could upgrade my s9+ but i wont for a while, maybe ill upgrade to a s23 in a couple months tho
Crazy that it's only been 6 years since the S9 was released. Samsungs flagships have changed so much in so little time.
Coming from the S21 Ultra, this will feel like a big upgrade for me too.
A very well done video for a very well done phone!
found your review the best review of all the ones around, nice work! by the way, which camera and lens have you used to record yourself on this video? would you mind sharing your setup info? I really liked the image quality
Had the same phone since November 2021. Finally upgrading to this phone tomorrow! 🙌🙌🙌
I'm glad to see that Samsung is stepping up their game with the security updates and OS upgrades. It's important for long-term value and user experience. Well done!
😅😅😅😅😅
People actually update their phones? That's where companies fk them up...
@@elisel2308 It increases resale value in the refurbished market long term not because they're going to use one phone for 7 years
The phones are great, their watches need an overhaul, not much value for money with the galaxy watch

havent watch any tech videos in year but i love how this guy has grown since i originally saw him

@@ammoniumchloride1047 I’m here for you.
@@thisnamehaschangedthanksto8185 I’m here to serve and protect.
In my 8+ years of being your subscriber maybe this is the 1st video where you were praising the product soo much and i loved it all the way.
that's a load of bullcrap.
I was trying not to believe that he's praising a phone so much
He is criticising much
He did praise it a lot. I do wish he’d have included more comparisons in terms of tested specs vs competitors, but that would 1) withdraw from the allure of said phone… and 2) detract from the experience for people who were already going to buy this phone anyway.
I think it would be ideal for him to acknowledge point 2 and then (if there’s money on the backend for him from Samsung) do a spec comparison oriented video after this one. He almost has to to remain relevant in the long run, if he abandons logic then he’ll ultimately be replaced for sure (hopefully, and in a general sense, people ignoring the logic in what they submit to viewers will be ignored…)
That's a paid review
Just got my S24 ultra today, upgraded from S22 ultra. I absolutely love these phones
We all here for MKBHD's opinion
You're right but I honestly thought he was going to quit CZcams because he haven't been posting
No shit Sherlock
Biased opinion. If he was a truly serious CZcamsr he would be extremely honest saying that the s24 ultra is basically an s23 ultra rebadged version with gimmick AI featured, no 10x lens, new processor and copy of apple titanium finish. That’s it. Chinese brands currently are delivering much better phones for cheaper. Oppo find x7 ultra, Honor magic 6 pro, OnePlus 12, vivo x100 pro…I wonder why only small CZcamsrs are saying the truth about the new s24 series… nowadays people prefer to be on the good list of big brands instead of saying the real truth
@@RodolphosTechchannel the only thing that I really like on the new s24 ultra is the flat screen honestly,yes it looks a lot like the red magic 8 pro ,otherwise I don't see a reason to upgrade if you have an s22 ultra for example.
I'm just here for background noise
Holy crap. This is the first time he didn't say anything bad about Samsung's ultra lineup of phones. Good thing I went ahead and pre-ordered mine and it's getting here today or tomorrow 😊
He always rides them
Oh damn. Going ahead and making decisions based on what other people think and not based on what you as a person wants outta a phone is an amazing character to have dawg.
maybe watch the podcast
@@McnugGetsomebicthesthat sure is a lot of assumption-jumps you’ve made there
@@McnugGetsomebicthes oh damn, you're funny
I switched from Apple to Samsung and never looked back. This current phone looks amazing... have you done a video focusing more on the AI aspects, especially the real time translation, which would come in very handy for me. If I'm not mistaken, this phone specifically has a dedicated AI chip? I'm still wait for the day that a real-life Star Trek Universal Translator is available 😁
Same here switched from the 15PM and this phone is an absolute beast. So fast and smooth! Excellent job by Samsung. For once I do not see myself going back to iPhone anytime soon.
@@Mike-ou9zd Do you miss iMessage and FaceTime ?
Haha I agree with the translator man need that shit at work, but I’m thinking of making the jump to the 24 ultra myself from iPhone but worried about 1. Missing iMessage and FaceTime as I have people i FaceTime with in the army n marines overseas 2. Data transfer which isn’t too big of a worry and 3 just maybe not liking the phone and spending all that money you know
@@mikethomas6187 Good points and wishing you much luck in your decision. I would suggest spending time in some stores 'playing' with any new phone you want to get... do as much real-life demos as possible. Having used both Apple and Samsung (I'm with Samsung now), but both brands are good enough for most people.
Thanks for the review... very helpful
The Samsung S24 Ultra seems like a game-changer with its impressive features and long-term support. Excited to upgrade and experience it myself! Great review as always, Marques!
I hope he shows the differences and advantages of Circle to Search compared to Google Assistant Screen Search. As far as I can tell from personal testing, it's literally just a rebranded feature with a tap and hold activation (circle to search) instead of a swipe and tap activation (Assistant Screen search)
bot with ai ahh response
And crap downgrade of the DCI P3 color. Sorry, they went cheap.
@@lulushishinot to mention that the Google phones themselves will be getting that same circle to search feature too.
I guess every year is a game changer
Marques just makes every damn phone look so good in every shot. Makes me wanna buy all of them 😂
Hi fellow codm player
I'll watch videos on stuff I am not at all interested in, just because Marques presents them so engagingly with such beautiful photography.
$1300 is wild
@@paulyviipeople are rocking 2000$ folding phone out there just causally wild in past not now
I feel like buying my kidney to get the 1300$ to buy the phone 🤣🤣🤣
Outstanding explanations for this technology, for someone like me who isn't technologically savvy. Love you!! Great speaker!!❤❤❤❤❤
Just got mine and I'm really happy with it. The only question I have is if there is a need to apply a screen protector or the screen itself is enough not to scratch inside the pocket for example. The anti glare will be lost as well if I apply a protector so I'm in doubt
get the screen protector man, it will be an expensive fix if it drops
9:27 Yes! It would be great if you could give us an analysis of how Google and Samsung are competing against each other and Apple at the same time.
Google is way way behind in hardware, the only perk is a more slimmed natove Android OS.
Galaxy series has been the most bang for buck always.
If you just want to throw away money and are used to Icloud and iphone UI, then you probably won't be able to use an Android. Because Android is like windows/Linux for PC, you have settings for basically everything! And you can do anything with it!
@@dagg497completely agreed the only thing they brag about is getting Android updates early.

Another great video! I've been watching you for years and love your opinions! I feel excited to have ordered the new S24 Ultra!
Thanks great video. On the back of this I've purchased this. Now looking for decent screen protector and heavy duty case. Any pointers, or video reviews on this. Thanks in advance.
Kudos to Samsung for getting rid of curved screen on their ultra model. Samsung has cone a long way in terms of software. I recall the touchwiz days. Literally had to flash custom rooms like Cyanogen mods. Only thing I miss from old phones are the removable batteries and expandable storage.
Yeah i recall the touchwiz, it really was the worst thing.. i remembered asking my friends to avoid samsung because of that. Now when asked what android phone to recommend, i always go to samsung
While expandable storage is no longer here samsung has a battery with a pull tab which is easy to pull out and replace.
Wow that takes me back, Galaxy S2 was legendary for the time.
Some of those early cyanogen roms absolutely flew on the Samsung stuff. They were different phones without touchwiz
Yeah curved screen is nonsense
moving the car in the photo blew my mind. and that fill in the space. wow!
Idk for me i still think it sucks, there's some good apps out there like picsart and canva that can easily do all that plus more like changing ppls outfits, hairstyles generating anything , apps like that are awesome. This is the most basic thing in editing apps im kinda disappointed with ths Samsungs ai.
@@Bb42023you just hate samsung for no reason. You should have kept this opinion to yourself since it's useless to us
@@Bb420233rd party apps are trash
Well, it's all about how you see it. I totally get where you're coming from, but there are folks like me who aren't keen on spending time or effort on downloading extra apps for this stuff. Personally, as long as it's easy to use, I think this tool is great for editing.@@Bb42023
I've rocking my sturdy Note 8 for six years - solid device, I love it - but a few key items recently went out of support. This gen looks like a winner, plus I get to keep using a trustworthy pen whilst getting a flat & gorgeous display and all the other goodies and upgrades ^^
Just found it at a hefty discount and came online to see this :) Time to order my new phone - only hesitant on the color as I'm leaning towards the purple one (I'd normally get black), wonder if I'll regret it?
A Note 8 user too here! I bought it on late 2018 and it still goes strong today, aside of the deteriorating battery (but that may be because I installed a lot of apps) and all physical buttons fall off. I'm upgrading to S24, but still hesitant being going all out to Ultra or just S24+. I didn't use S Pen that much, but I heard from my friend S Pen now has so much functionalities. Do you like the purple one? I can only buy offline (as online buying in my country is still risky), hopefully the black one is still available...
Got mine 2 days ago and it is the first phone I have had that was the newest model upon getting it. Not disappointed, amazing device.
These reviews are genuinely next-level. Great work as always, Marques!
His video hasn’t even been out for 5 minutes how do you know??
@@nighttt_. he just wants to comment for likes
At least watch the video before saying that is genuinely next-level.
@@KarlynGR Woah chill, all I'm saying is that this guy consistently delivers one of the best reviews on CZcams. Even just by watching the intro, you can tell that while doing that, he still manages to keep them unique and a little different every time.
its just a smartphone review....
Thank you for this review, even though I can argue that many people actually like smaller phones at the end of the day.
I have tested the smaller S24 on my channel running the new Exynos, Temps, and Battery drain, and I dare to say that even the base variants this year is impressive, Feel free to check out the numbers for yourself.
If you like smaller phone you might cobsider google pixel or asus zenfone that still has headphone jack, flagship specs, and compact.
Good because it’s what I ordered
It's funny I use my z fold 5 folded more often these days than unfolded so you're onto something.
That said when it's video or reading time i get the full experience
@@CptDuckI considered them, but the software support, lack thereof, kills the zenfone for me. The pixels are so butt-ugly, that I couldn't bear to own one, and my wife will not touch one for the same reason lol.
Im still happy with my S23 Ultra and have no reason to upgrade now, but I'm very excited for thr S25U snd beyond.
Thanks for video.
What smartphone you can advice?
Not need smartest one but need very good camera with good zoom possibility, good battery and simple interface to use.
One note: the save as sticker feature in Samsung gallery has been available on older phones. I have a galaxy S22 and I've got that feature.
bruh...S22 is way new... I've an s21 and i have that too 🙂↕️🙂↕️
@@abhijitborua237I didn't know. How?
Same on a samsung s 20 fe
Dude I have a budget M34 and it has this Save as sticker feature 😂
It was probably added in the recent Android 14 based one ui 6 update though.
but still...save as sticker isn't actual sticker we talking about. It saves as a normal picture with black background which is sp annoying. Btw, kine is s23+
Always love watching MKBHD reviews and the different takes he has while tying in a narrative to each review. Would love to hear his take on the relationship between Samsung and Google rn
Especially when all his reviews are all sponsored by the company
What? Guy's milking his subs number, he's one of the laziest reviewers. It's like he doesn't even try anymore. There so but I mean soooo many better out there, objective, creative, enthusiastic reviewers that make MK look amateur-ish.
@@disco.lemonade you are right indeed. This guy and Mrwhosetheboss are among the most scammiest reviewers of all time. They both get paid pretty well to support the company they talk about. They don't deserve this much viewers at all.
@@disco.lemonade Can you give some examples then? I'm always open to new tech reviewers outside the more mainstream ones.
He talked about a bit on last week's podcast
I have the fold5 and I learned about things my phone can do that I never knew about. I'm starting to like the ability to use my back cameras while seeing the screen but if I didn't care for that feature I would 100% go back to the S series. Last time I had a slab phone was note10 and they sure have come a long way
@mkbhd What is better buy option for you? Honor Magic6 pro or S24 Ultra? Best buy option?
Such disrespect. A Honor device in the same sentence with a Samsung device is something I never thought I would see.
I definitely want a video about those intricacies in colabs between smartphone companies.

Watching this on my titanium black s24 ultra....loving it!
Hey @Mkbhd, I am big fan bro! I had a question, when you move to Samsung phones for testing, do you save your passwords in Samsung’s pass? I am not sure if I am confident to use Samsung cloud and password saving. Have been an iPhone user life long and I trusted keychain and passwords always.
You basically just confirmed all the reasons I've been buying the Note and now the S Ultra series phones from Samsung. They're not cheap, but the amount of things on tap that are done either extremely well or well enough that it all adds up being worth the cost to me. Also, as an artist and someone who likes to handwrite, the SPen is incredibly useful and fun. No other phone even has this feature close to this level of refinement so I'd honestly buy the phone just for that if I had to.
camera not as good
Yeah, that S Pen is a total game changer for me. I don't even use it to write/draw that much, but the extra precision when using something like a photo editor and other apps is just absolutely amazing. I don't think I would ever want to go back to any phone that doesn't have it now.
7 years with updates! Well done Samsung! 👏 Phones are so good and expensive now, that it makes sence giving the buyer a reassuring feeling.
They can change that at any moment
@CodiakLBJfan ofc they can. It is written in the user agreement 😆
But let's see what happens 🙂
Beautifull well done
That's the major point for me in a smartphone, because i use the smartphone until it dies (i still use a Samsung Note 9). Support is very important when you stick with the same phone for so long, so, this will be a huge upgrade for me.
7 years of support, but battery will bubble up like in any other Samsung phone I owned. 2 years and the battery starts to become a major problem with Samsung. Never had battery problems with any other phone brand :/.
Me watching pic comparisons on 480p phone...
Yeesh, dawg.
Hey Marques, love your content last week I finally convinced my brother to upgrade to a S24 ultra from a note 9. 3 days later after normal use the phone randomly shuts off. He’s a truck driver and uses his phone for work and log book and he went to a near by Verizon store and they gave him a run a round, he ends up buying an iPhone while the S24 Ultra is in limbo. I looked into this and looks like other ppl are having a similar issue. It’s a very bad experience for him and me especially with all of the good things spoke about the S24 Ultra on CZcams. Can you investigate and make a video on this?
Thanks man
Seems more like a Verizon issue.
Very interesting to see that Google and Samsung are collaborating like crazy to build up an unified Android empire to compete with Apple. At this point we might as well call them the Android S24 Ultra, and Android 8 Pro 😂
I honestly am so happy about it. I switched between a Samsung, now back to a pixel due to pure use preference but the fact I can use a Samsung with out the chugging and ugly aesthetic that it had in the early galaxy gens is great.
@@SageLegacy yeah for sure, those early Galaxy skins were quite something...
🤔🧐 seeing where Google is at financially I wouldn’t be surprised if they did change the names of the phones to that 😂. Have all phone manufacturers in the android space team up completely to battle Apple lol
It should be called the Nexus S24 Ultra! Iykyk
There's nothing unusual about this. All you gotta understand is that Google is open source the more devices and the better their OS runs it's better for them. The best OEM that can offer that to them is Samsung. Of course it's in their best interest to help them polish their phone and make Android look good and compete with Apple.
Absolute monster of a phone. Mine just arrived mid-January. Owned Samsung from almost the beginning of Smartphones. I also always loved windows integration on Android phones that you plug your phone into computer and it shows as a normal extra drive.. still exploring all ai features...
That Windows thing where it is showed basically as another device or storage and gives you freedom to use it for everything it's just very much missed in iOs. I changed to iphone just now and what a limited device 🤦♂️
@@tomasvircik3742well, love it or hate it, Apple wants you in their Ecosystem. And I have to say nothing comes close. It took a long while for android and Windows to match some of the features apple users have enjoyed for years.
@@tomasvircik3742well Apple wants you in the ecosystem. Love it or hate it it does have strengths and it’s taken a long while for windows and android to match the features apple users have enjoyed for over a decade: air drop, continuity, handoff, phone camera used as laptop camera or for presentations etc.
And even though those features can be replicated I still find Windows and android limited in how simple and seemless it is with the Apple ecosystem.
@@tomasvircik3742I hear you. You have to buy into the Apple ecosystem completely to reap the benefits of the iPhone.
If you already have a Windows computer (and nothing else), an android is a no brainer.
If you own a MacBook, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch, HomePod, Apple TV, etc…the iPhone is way more alluring and works seamlessly with those devices. Much harder decision. I’ll be honest, I came by most of those devices without phone considerations. I’ve been with MacOS since 2006, iPad since 2nd Gen, and AirPods since inception. It’s much harder for me to switch to android these days because I lose so much.
Granted, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is such a do it all phone that I could perhaps replace my iPad with it. But I won’t be switching to Windows anytime soon, so I would miss having my messages on both PC and Phone and having airdrop between them.
@@tomasvircik3742it’s an unnecessary feature, i’ve been using an android tablet for around a year now (with my iphone) and i notice it’s a lot more limited than my iphone, i miss being able to download apps like youtube++, there isn’t much developer support on android. it’s also hard to deal with pesky android notifications
What would be cool is doing a price chart comparison. So instead of showing the cost amount in US dollars, show a price difference on an average based median price. Having a cost scale instead of the price point will convert easier to different countries. Your channel is very popular in Australia and new Zealand.
I'm moving from the zfold4 to this phone. Fold4 is a great phone, and i never thought I'd ever use a candybar style phone again. But the little front screen, among other things, has me upgrading to this beast.
I'm currently on the fence over this. Also have the fold 4 currently. Kind of want to see the rumored fold 6 ultra though
Loved how many sets they used while keeping solid clean audio throughout. 10/10 production.
9/10 audio is too quiet
It's waay too quiet.
I love that you change the literal aesthetic of the video when you went to aesthetics section of photography. Production is always on-point, but sometimes I just have to shake my head and smile. Well played, MKBHD, well played...
He's a man of detail.
Last Samsung Galaxy I had was the Note 10 Plus and I loved that phone! I’ve always been primarily an Apple User so when I got my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I started only using my iPhone again but just the other day, I decided to get a S21 Ultra 5G since it’s holding up great against the newer Ultra lineup we have today and I honestly can say, this phone is a beast!! I’m back like I never left Samsung ❤️
Ps, definitely looking forward to the newer Ultra that comes out soon 🤫
thank you for making me feel good about my splitsecond purchase in the phone store
"Now on Tap" was an OG thing but it still existed on my S20FE when I bought it. After updating it was lost. It was called "What's on my screen?" And then later called "Search Screen". It was so so so useful for translations of non-text stuff.
I think "now on tap" was an android 6 thing? I'm pretty sure it was older than Google assistant itself
Screen search is still there. and this is the reason i don't understand all the fuss about this AI feature, it works on my 3year old device in the same way
Please do a Samsung / Google in depth video. I’d watch it 20 times. So much to learn from that :D
i've just watched LTT video about s24 ultra... It was a joke... I love how much work you put into your videos.
That's because LTT is a buisness and this guy actually loves his work and doesn't have shareholders.
Your awesome!😊 very thorough and totally informative. Thanks. I just wish the Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra had an SD card slot. Other than that I'm getting three of them tomorrow. Great salesmanship without the company rep.🤩👍
The software support and 1TB are my main reasons to get this phone for under $600 with my trade-in.
Can you get a s24 plus for me too bro?
This is the smart way to do it. I feel bad for those who are paying the full price right out of the gate.
@@flamez5114get a job lmao
….with trade in = very few people can get this exact deal
@@snakebyte130 id still take that over paying one off.
12:58 Marques circled his portrait and expected to have his youtube channel to be popped up but only his hoodie information was listed
- Emotional Damage -
You can almost feel his pain. Lol
He kept on scolling xD
@@AstraRudra He kept scrolling in each circle to search example to show the results from the search. You guys are just making things up at this point.
Kind of weak that the AI wasn't able to recognize him. Or maybe they purposefully removed the ability to identify people
Hahaha... some heads on my team would be chopped! 😂😂...
When they was done editing I would've fired somebody.. lol
Apple, please listen to the masters…
MARQUES Keep up the good reviews 👍 always count on your honest opinion
Marques, I would love to see you do a separate video on Samsung and google's need for each other. I've always thought this and think it would be great for you to dive into the subject.
This.
Marques trying circle to search on his face, tryna flex, but Google showing results for his hoodie instead 😅
12:56
Lmao thought the same thing 😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂 Saw that
Looks like they baked in some restrictions on searching real people, aren't they? =)
yes, you cannot search peoples faces
People cannot be searched
Yes, we want to see a video of that!!
i switched from the iphone 15 plus to the samsung galaxy zflip 5. and though the flip was a super fun phone to have i just couldnt deal with losing 15% battery every 2 hours while it sat on my side table. i did every adjustement and settings change i could find to make it last longer and it just sucked. so i ordered the s24 ultra. it will be here tomarrow. im super excited to get my hands on it. hoping its as amazing as everyone is saying. if it is the zflip 5 is going back.
I am a Pixel 8 Pro user and when S24 dropped and I saw all the AI features, the first thing I felt was as if this was a Pixel phone on a Samsung Hardware. I was surprised that nobody really mentioned about in the first impression videos! Happy to know that you felt it. Would love to see a video on how Google and Samsung is coming together. Throwback to the Nexus days!
Make video yourself
@@hoihoi9866Doesn't have the same affect when you don't have the reach... and not eveyone is a content creator.
Second you on that. 100% my first impression also. Talked to a friend and he also saw it
It'll take a lot to get me to move from Pixel. I do love that Samsung and Google are working together to further Android. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is what saved Wear OS.
I used to be a Pixel user, but since I switched to Samsung, I can't imagine using any other brand.
Your reviews hit just right. Very well done as always. Keep up the great work 😊
Why would you ever spend 1300 bucks on phone in 2024? A 2 years old mid range phone is all any sane person would ever need.
Brother I really want you to suggest or make a video for best budget friendly laptop for the CS student…❤❤
Worth the wait. I hate that other tech reviewers rushed their so called “review” just for the views while taking advantage of the buzz created by Samsung. I like that MKBHD took his time to give us real and quality “review”. There’s levels to this and I can say MKBHD is at the top.
Plus it doesn't hurt that he earns commission on sales from the phone that you can click to purchase directly from his video...
Great review. My 2 questions is has Samsung S 24 Ultra passed IPhone 's best phone? Do you prefer Android over Apple?
I had an oldie Note9 for 5 years. Got version and ui updates every year. That's some commitment I've never experienced from any corporate. Now I have A34 cuz I'm broke but receive the same quality of updates every year. Kudos to Samsung for the commitment. I wish I could get an ultra or a fold one day so I can keep drawing😊
Love how he uses his '5 pillers of a smartphone' in this review. Always a new approach with it.
This phone has all the right boxes ticked out , it's definitely going to be a hit for anyone and everyone who can afford it
Who can afford it. The big catch.
I get the new ultra every year for free with no contract,perks of the job😊
@@silverwolfgecko7064 it is a flagship, their target audience can afford it :)
@@frankieob100What job is that?
@@flyingdutchman1922 yeah, I need to apply as well😂Good for him though, it is a great phone.
Im getting the S24 Ultra. Im just not sure which color I should get it in or which phone case to pick for it.
It doesn't surprise me that every one of your videos is extremely informative to everyone, whether you're a tech guy or just the average person using a phone. You're awesome dude
I’ve owned iPhones for the last 8yrs, I’m currently on day 2 with my S24 Ultra and I absolutely love it. It’s fantastic.
@TheReturnOfJMVEntertainment they should if samsung screws it up. but for now it feels like the brand has gained a much better understanding of what consumers want and appreciate. They've always had good hardware and software but now all the small little details are refined and packaged into a neat and sleek design (which is what you need to beat apple)
Wait until you discover Samsung's Good Lock app
@TheReturnOfJMVEntertainmentLol. Apple is miles ahead of Samsung phones in terms of OS, video camera and overall quality
@@swvi9459 Lol
I'm preparing to make that switch as well.
Great review, thank you! I am looking at Galaxy's camera performance and I wish you would stop a bit on its video recording too
YESSS SEPERATE VIDEO PLSSSES Im dying to see a pro talk about the android apple war and AI!!!!!
I thought I would've hated the flat display when I heard about it , but the way Samsung implemented it makes me fall in love with it. The slightly rounded sides makes it so comfortable to hold.
i got one, still not comfortable to hold but flat display better than curved.
Note 20 Ultra is way better to hold
You can thank Apple for the idea
S22 ultra or s23 ultra is much better to hold. And the screen feels more premium because it's curved.
@@Ghovilord there's Chinese phones that are like 300 bucks that have curved displays. It's not a "premium" feature it's just a useless gimmick.
Can I make phone calls with that thing?
Maybe
The phone calls you it's soo futuristic
@@YoshiIamair I can confirm as I have it in blue.. it rings say IM BLUE DA BA DEE
@@tylerk9533 SEE SEEEEE I TOLD YALL
Probably need to send letters in the mail box😂
I’m so picky,the only reason I don’t want the phone is because of the sharp edges instead of rounded
Phone case? 🤔
😂😂😂😂😂
I upgraded my Z4
Finally back to flat displays. I never liked the curved screens that had inconsistent viewing experiences near the edge. Also THANK YOU SAMSUNG for adding a good anti reflective coating. Most underrated feature.
I have the s9, which has a curved screen. The viewing experience doesn't bother me, but the touch sensitivity drops almost completely off at the edges. Very irritating when gaming.
The rounded screen, however, fits better in the hand.
@@AndrewSpec indeed, only reason I got the + my s23 ultra constantly cut into my hands. I dont mid losing zoom for it.
@@AndrewSpecDepends on your hands and how you hold it. I have been using it and the sharp edges does not even touch my palm.
Yes! Also, you can't find good glass screen protectors when the screen's curved. I have been wanted them to make some flat screens ever since they started. The curved screens always felt like a gimmick
Loving the custom keyboards in the BRoll shots
What keyboard and/or keycaps is he using? Really interested.
The main beige keyboard you see is the Cidoo V65@@jasonmamoassecondcousin2663
