What are your thoughts!? Let me know down below!
The S24 is not $1000 better and in the current climate, that matters.
*The S21 ultra with the One u.i 6.1 update feels insanely good and smooth*
Proof that you no longer need to run out and get the latest and greatest. Samsung from 10 years ago wouldn’t hold up but today’s Samsung phones do a much better job.
Yup, very minimal difference. I used my S21 Plus for 3 years and am planning to get the S24 Ultra. Since this one is going to get 7 years of updates, I'm planning to use it for 5 years. That should make a big enough difference.
What kind of smartphone can hold up now from 10 years ago tho 😅

My experience, the iPhone and HTC. Though the HTC only got one OS update back then it still worked. iPhone still worked and lasted me 4 years. It was still working when I traded it in. The Samsung phones I had (Galaxy S2 and Galaxy 3 both died after one year of ownership. So I stayed away from Samsung since. Also someone just showed a short where his iPhone 5 is still working but unfortunately his carrier doesn’t support it.
@@md.arkanulislamnabil278iphone 6. 2014 and a bit laggy now and doesn't have every app supported but still very usable and supports popular apps
S21 Ultra cost me so much damn money, 2.5 yrs ago that I'll be using it until it's physically impossible. Badass phone, no desire to upgrade.
That's the thing, it was made to be a beast. So a beast it will be unless somehow they make youtube and twitter more graphically intensive. Treating yourself to a new phone case will make your phone feel more new.
It's my mums birthday soon and i do want to treat her to the S24 Ultra as she is using my old s21 plus. I got s23 ultra when that came out because i wanted that feeling of having the new best samsung with the curve screen which is hilarious as now the curve screen is considered outdated. I missed the design of my s10plus so that's why i wanted the s23 ultra to get that feeling of something cool to look at. The s21 plus was nice but the coolness factor wasn't there, it was too safe of a design
in this economy.... "Save $1000" is a no-brainer
bro there is no way in HELL an S21 ultra costs $300
@@StripesInTheYT There's loads under $300 on the used market
@@StripesInTheYTliar tell us how much it is then 😏😏😏
@@Edgar876 No I'm saying that I didn't know an S21 ultra costed $300

My S21 ultra is wonderful! ❤❤❤
I was waiting for this comparison
I have an S21. Got it on launch. Thanks for convincing me to wait at least one more cycle.
Same as you here...only I got the S21+ on presale. Also got the Buds Live that I sold for 35 £ about a month ago and a tag...somewhere is a drawer 😅
Great content. My wife still has her s21 ultra she uses the supcase unicorn beetle pro with s pen slot. Her phone is in mint condition, and it is still smooth, not as fast as my s23 ultra. It holds its own.
Awesome. Glad to hear!
I actually returned my S24U for the S21U. I didn't notice that much of a difference between the two. I saved myself around $600 in the process.
Apparently, it's difficult to recognize the difference between square and a rectangle.
Still using my 21 ultra
How is it holding up
@@whysoserious4464 Mine is great after three years. It's only issue is the processor getting hot.
@@snowps1...that not great you'll drop it
I went from S21U to S24U to S23+. I wish I kept S21U!
Great video, thanks!!
the difference is in detail. cpu gpu have more power. they require less energy to provide the same performance level as the 21. the camera has also better AI and resolution for better results. the screen is way brighter. the overall battery lifetime is better. going to trade my 21 in for the 24. the 24 is now availably for around 1000, minus 300 trade in, its ok after 3 years.
I bought my S10 used for less than 300 USD and, after using it for 3 years, am still very happy with it! I think it's not really necessary to buy the latest and greatest!
Oh man.. I missed my S10. Broke mine in an accident. It's seriously the sexiest phone ever with gorgeous display
Loved my S10 plus upgraded from that to the s21 ultra and now thinking to upgrade after 3 years but I think I'm going to keep my one as the S24 doesn't seem to be worth the upgrade. If you were to upgrade I'd recommend the s21ultra as well it definitely is an upgrade on the s10
@thomasbrannigan123 Still have a S10+. My only complaint is the charging speed; it's just bad.
Used my S10 until the wheels fell off, then got an S21 Ultra. The S10 is a fantastic device and felt like a massive upgrade from my S8 when I got it. If it hadn't basically started falling apart, I probably would have kept it at least a year longer.
I literally maybe 5 minutes ago, and prior to seeing this great comparison, just bought the S21 Ultra for only $299 from Best Buy in the Phantom Silver. They had several for sale ranging from $299 up to $499 and they actually had a phantom black model 512gb up on sale for only $399! I probably should have bought that one but I was after the phantom silver. Although I already am wishing I would have just taken the color out of the equation. 512gb S21 Ultra at $399 is unbelievable. I wished samsung would have made the phantom silver S21 Ultra in at least a 256gb version also. It's nonsensical that they didn't. 128gb today just is barely enough, if at all. I'm looking forward to receiving it and at $299 it's a truly good device to buy. Great video.
Hello @DiveWatcher, how can I order from them?
really!! on best buy Canada they are selling for 900 cad.. 256 GB one is for 470 cad.. I am waiting for price down but tempting to buy
In the uk I have s22u phantom silver 256g 12gram👍
The pictures don't look hugely difference! Like I doubt no one is complaining if posted to social media
I said those exact same words.
@@Techninjaspeaks I might need to stop upgrading phones every year at this point lol
@@TechxGremlinno one cares💀
@@Sickened-CZcams you care enough to say something
Watching this on my 2015 galaxy grand prime which still works, just slow AF and no apps work with it anymore so I ordered the 21 ultra few days ago with an s pen. Can't f'ing wait. The contrast of this upgrade is gonna be wild.
How you finding it?
@bengaligangsta it's pretty f'ing sweet.
@@kyles5513lol that's a massive upgrade. Like going from ps2 to a mini gaming laptop in your pocket 😂
@@killakam123321 flight simulator using samsung dex on my TV is pretty sweet with this thing
@@killakam123321funny you say that because I use my s20 as a PS2 emulator lol
I'm rocking an S21 Ultra and I love it. I see no reason to upgrade atm. However, there are some great features on the S24 Ultra like AI and things like that. The camera's are definitely better on the zoom on the S24. I sometimes use my Space Zoom and 3X zoom. I'll just wait a few more years unless my phone dies or breaks and whatever. Great video!
just upgraded from reguar s21 5g to s24u and tbh super not worth it. I just have A sugar mama 😂🤷🏿
@@jwillwork3683 Your Mum doesn't count as a sugar mama 😆
@jwillwork3683 Kevin's video was quite useful. Not that I was ever going to upgrade without my current phone being still alive and well. :) Thanks Kevin!
The S21U zoom up to 10x is tied or looks better than the S24U. Any zoom behind 10x goes to the S24U.
I just ordered the S21 Ultra this morning; using a 13 Pro & 14 Pro Max started to get aggravating so I figured I’d get me another Samsung for my second phone.
WOW comparing clicking buttons. In depth review!
fr its the most noticeable thing since i own the s21 ultra and i tried the s24 ultra and the only difference i noticed was buttons
The vibration motor was a lot stronger on the 21U and samsung took a big step back with the 22U and 23U
It'll be interesting to compare this to one of their lower priced phones of today like the m series or a series against the flagship of 3 years ago
I got both S21U and A53 and I would suggest everyone to stay away from A series
Upgraded from s21u to s24u with phone provider. However after a week of using it didn't like the square edge design. Found it uncomfortable to hold even with several vases found it too big n bulky. The camera and speed was a bit better but in my opinion not worth the update this year. May wait till the s25u releases and see what that brings
If I had s21u Snapdragon, I wouldn't upgrade it until it died. But being an Exynos version and s23u was a Snapdragon, it was a game changer.
Thanks for this. I am currently rocking the s21Ultra and thought of upgrading to the s24Ultra. I will either wait for the black friday S24 Ultra or wait till next year for the S25 Ultra
I have the exynos, I don't have anything negative to say about it
Upgrading from s21+ to s22 ultra 🥳 built in stylus + 45w charging did it for me.
399 before tax on Amazon rinao.
Watching this video using my s21 plus and still running the latest android software.
Bought for 900$ and still using it for 2+y, Solid phone
I love the form factor of the S21U much better. Still makes amazing photos and will get the Android 15 update when it's there. No upgrade needed for me. Speakers are great and so is battery life.
Will keep it as my second phone next to my Flip 5 🎉
Compare the Galaxy S24 with the Galaxy S20.
4 years difference and only hardware change is the SoC and the camera (that too the UW is the same and the main and 3x zoom are side-grades).
Oh we also lost 12GB RAM on the base model, expandable storage and box contents. Welcome to 2024.
Samsung has found a way to streamline the software releases and made it economical. So no big hardware upgrades despite charging a lot for new devices - we are basically paying for software updates at this point.
To the point you bought one with 7 years of OS updatea and your only hope is to outlive it 😅. I'll wait for the S25 maybe the + comes with a snapdrafon inside.
My s24 ultra is much better than my s20 ultra
0:30 "S24 Ultra only comes in 256" ummm what?? I have the 1tb. 512 also available.
I mean minimum storage 256.
If I hadn't cracked my screen ,I'd still be rocking my s21 ultra. Only reason I purchased the s24 ultra. I like the flat screen but wished it went with the s21 ultra camera hump. Great video.
Bruhhh wtf I just cracked my S21 Ultra and I’m just thinking about buying another one for $330🤦🏾♂️
I've been using an S21 Ultra since around launch. Every year, I compare it to Samsung's latest Ultra flagship, and so far, the upgrade isn't significant enough to consider for the price.
I'll probably end up sticking with my S21 Ultra until the wheels fall off. I figure by that point, the S25 or S26 Ultra will be a big enough jump to pick up.
If you can get an S21 Ultra for $350 or an S24 Ultra for $1,300, you'd be crazy not to save the money and opt for the S21 Ultra in my opinion. The S24 Ultra is a fantastic phone, but it's not 4x better than an S21 Ultra.
Been rockin the s21 ultra when i put my 7 to rest. Its great, but the antennas that come in it have always sucked.
I like the S21 Ultra design better but I know that many of you guys who do these reviews prefer flat screens on the case guys so I like a curved screen and if I want an anti-glare screen I just get a screen protector that gives me ant-glare
There is no great tempered glass screen protector for the S21 ultra. I've been wasting my money on them for 3 years. The curved screen really hinders the adhesion which is only on the very edge of the screens on the sides anymore.
Honestly even the S20 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra could probably compete against the S24 Ultra. I dont know about the S10 and Note 10 series though.
If you want the latest phone and not break the bank. The answer is the OnePlus 12. Reminds me of the S21 Ultra with current flagship specs for $700 with a broken phone trade in, any broken phone is $100 with OnePlus.
No comment on the technically inferior rear (selfie) camera of the S24 Ultra vs the S21 Ultra?
I would love an s21 with the internals of an s24. Far more masculine, lighter, and utilitarian. The s24 looks like it belongs in a purse. But that's just me 🤷♂️
Agree.
My S22U is great. Just got it on eBay . Mint 512 Version for 460. Best b4b IMO.
i have the samsung s21 ultra and i will have it for many years more. Is there a way to replace only the battery?
Any phone service shop. But put an original cell.
Buy a new phone, don't be stingy. You should see it as an investment.
The Note 20 Ultra is still great phone. I know that the s24 Ultra is suppose to much faster. Unless I time things then daily activities feel similar. Also the Note 20 Ultra's screen size a little bit bigger. Samsung nickled and dime it's user. The S21U still had 12 GB RAM on base model but the s22U and 23U decreased the RAM to only 8GB. Unless you are super picky flagships within the last few years are still fine.
Thats crazy how the s21 ulta is $300 now 😂. I got mines christmas of 2021(right before the s22) and broke mines so i had to replace the phone wirh another one in 2023. I noticed that the first variarion was heavier than the newer one but the battery lasted longer.
S21 Ultra will take android 15 update also
I feel like the S21 Ultra video looks better up until like 3 Zoom but how often are you literally recording anything further than a 3X?
You're wrong, the S21 Ultra has a 3x and a 10x optical zoom, not only 3x as you were mentioning.
Yes and does come in 1tb - 500gb and multiple ram - 8 and+
Yes and does come in 1tb - 500 gb - 128 gb and ram varies too. 💥⁉️
I still have the s21 Ulta hence why I'm here 😅deciding if should get the s24 ultra. My battery life is horrible now after 3 years
Do it because you expect so many years if your life is short?
what about the s21 ultra greenline issues?
Not all devices had it I’m just speaking from my experience with my S21 Ultra.
i just bought a s23 ultra yesterday cause i dont have enough money for a s24 ultra
S21 has 10x optic zoom.. not 3x
The moment you said a Samsung with a curved display reminds you of oneplus, I stopped taking you seriously
I'm just having a dilemma about switching from my S21U to S24U as I can get it for free through my company. But the more I research, the more I find out that there is next to no difference for my use except having s-pen. When it comes to pure specs, the cameras actually seem slightly worse on S24 (except the main camera) and are only balanced out by having more computational power and prehaps better AI image processing.
im in the exact same situation haha. I can't decide if I even want it..
s24 ultra will give 7 years of Android updates, huge win!!
@@BluntForceBurner I have the same deal with my S21. I decided finally to keep my S21 and wait for S25. I actually prefer the cameras on my S21 after doing a lot of research on the S24 and trying it first hand.
@@FranticGuitar88 Im upgrading from the s10 plus and 7 years of update with the s24 ultra I wont be needing a new phone for a long time
My S21 Ultra is running perfectly fine. I won't be getting another phone until software support comes to an end.
Samsung s21 ultra fast charging 30 minute 64%
I just bought it now😂. Great purchase ngl 35k in india got it almost brand new no scratches.
Where??
@Abhilash_Jena it's out of stalk... probably got it during clearance
Watching this on my 340€ S21 ultra 256g
I bought one for $60 bucks today. Fully unlocked, 256gb, a few scraches, but overall this was a greart deal
Whaatt?? 60 bucks that's a steal man I think it's free lol 😀
Where did you get one for $60?
Did S21 get the AI post processing updates??
No
The Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra is the best device they've ever made. Of course, with the exception of the design language. It's perpetual right angles and pointy corners are extremely unattractive and make it very difficult to hold. Frankly, it looks like a miniature glass casket. They would be wise to revert to an ergonomic curved glass display and body. For $1,300 you'd think that a company like Samsung could produce a device that doesn't summon up visions of a funeral home. Especially, when there are devices such as the OnePlus 12 that rival it in almost every specification and costs far less. Not to mention, the design language of the OnePlus 12 is far more attractive. Anyway, that's just my opinion.
there is definitely a big difference between them but its not worth the 1000 $
I prefer the s21 ultra and it’s a bargain to get now
Be careful of the greenline 😂
The weakness of Samsung oled is, the older it gets the more chance you will get greenline screen
S21 ultra 💪
S21 Ultra's only problem is overheating. Three years later and I'm tired of a hot phone.
Exynos? 12gb?
IPhones does the same every year too so what😅
my s21 ultra cant run at 120hz cuz it makes any social media video slow and crappy . i'm blocked at 60 hz like a cave man
Watch on s21 ultra 😊
In Romania s21 ultra is around 600 Euro...so...where's the catch? Also, the s24 ultra is around 1200 euro.. Aaa, ok..u mean second hand aka "excellent condition" :)) Let's compare Mercedes from 1986 restored with a Tesla SH, u get the ideea? ;)
Same thing in poland. i bought s21 ultra 605 $.it's a cheapest one what i found online.other salers price it more than 750 $
But is the S24Ultra $900 better
No
Y'all better not buy them out i needa get me one of those lolll 🤣🤣🤣
where can you find this for 300 dollars lol...
Online if you actually take time to look 😂
Ebay
Just goes to show ya how dumb people are. They are paying $1200+ for the exact same phone you can get for like $250. I actually did buy 2 S21 Ultras for $200 on Facebook Marketplace unlocked. Only change is the processor and you cant tell the difference anyways nowdays they are all fast and smooth from the 845 to 855 to 865 to 888 and ......
I upgraded from s21 5G to s24u and its cool but not justified. I just did it cus I got A girl that buys me any and everything 😄
I have an A23 5g and it's a terrible phone. It's bad.
Yup
Never buy Samsung other than the S series or some M series
@@MegaAwesomeguys bs lol... The A34 and A54 phones are pretty good... Who gets a A23 and expects it to be good
@@whysoserious4464 Pretty good but there's always something better at this price point, be it Redmi, Poco or Motorola or Realme
I'm returning my s24 ultra. So disappointed is Samsung this year. Screen looks like complete crap. And it gets really hot
I have the S21 Ultra now. The phone dies while I'm looking at it lol. I hate how much tailoring I have to do to keep Samsung phones at their best.
Great phones though.
the curved screen on the s21 ultra is beautiful . the flat displays are ugly
but the same doesnot stand for s21 ultra with exenos processor it is the worst processor to have the battery drain and the heating issue I face day in day out are so annoying wish they had sold us the snapdragon one in india and I would have been sticking for another year here and upgrade to s25 now instead I am being forced to consider upgrading to s24 ultra
I will wait and buy the s24 ultra for $300 🫡
That's literally 2027
