Samsung’s new S24 series has been out for just over a month now - I bought the phones at launch which means I can not only give you a more thorough review of my experience so far, but I’ve also waited for the major software update Samsung just released. So we can now see if they’ve been able to fix any of those early issues (the camera update in particular is very interesting) and hopefully this in-depth review will give you a much closer reflection of what you can expect from the S24 Ultra.

Good Review as always. Also, you're the most handsome CZcamsr.
Pinning this comment for making my day haha 😄

To everyone watching, Samsung AI is now on the S23 Ultra!
To all of you who've waited...thank you! 💚 I was just about to drop this review when I heard about the big software update. So I thought it was best to wait for that and include the updates in this video too. I hope it's worth the wait!
definitely it was worth ! again the best review for Ultra device ! Really like your style and appreciate that before making review, you will firstly test device properly. Well done!
do you think that some of this change will be available too on the S23U soon? can't keep up with all the SModel as our previous S23U is still doing real good?
I have S23 Ultra. I have been tempted to buy S24 Ultra mainly for its flat screen and AI features. The latter ones are coming to S23 Ultra in no time and I am left with the love of flat screen. Does it worth buying S24 Ultra for this? I don’t think so. Thank you for your review even though it is not convincing enough - to make me change my mind.
That’s alright. The review isn’t supposed to make you upgrade, it’s to help you know if you want to upgrade or not. I agree, it’s not worth it 👍🏼
@@insidetechltd that cool answer deserves you a subscribe✊...So, I just did.
🙌🏼😅
No. S24 ultra is for s20 ultra owners or s21
22:05 In the samsung camera assistant app, you can turn off auto lens switching to stop it from using the 3x lens at low light conditions
Yes you can. Why on earth Samsung doesn't bake this feature into the main camera app settings is crazy
I have been patiently awaiting your s24 ultra review
I appreciate it 💚
Great content. Are these snapdrgon variants? hesitant about the exynos ones. Are they any good?
Yes. There are no Exynos models for the Ultra 👍🏼
@@insidetechltd oh that's good.
6 top and new features in s24 ultra
1. Grainy display
2. Camera lens switching jittennes in videography
3. S23 ultra Camera performance is better than s24 ultra
4. S pen quality issue
5. Camera portrait mode issue
6. Heating issue
i have zero of these problems
how do i test #2?
I upgraded to an S24 Ultra from an S20 Ultra. I don't see why one would upgrade from an S23 Ultra to the S24 Ultra, though.
100k subs🎉
Great reviewer ever
🥳
Do you have the grain at low brightness? What do you think about the grain/lines... problems?
I've tested this a few times and i'm not seeing any issues myself
I have been using 23 Ultra since early March 2023. I will have to check the camera reviews after the release of the 25 Ultra and consider whether to change it. It seems that 23U users do not need to change to S24U because of the camera.
Also, review video is the most professional, accurate, fair, and clear review video among the S23U / S24U comparison reviews on CZcams. Thank you for creating and sharing, and please continue to provide in-depth comparative reviews after the 25 series is released.
I really appreciate that, thank you 🙏🏼
Might be just me but I absolutely prefer the design of the S23 Ultra
Me too
Great video brother, thank you for the amazing content!
I'll be looking out for your next video
Thank you 👊🏼
in camera setting go to camera assistant and turn auto lens switching off so when you zoom to 10x it will always use the 10x lens
Hello Sir. Nice video. I have a question. I know its small. But I tend to like the little things. On the 23 U with the AoD. The notifications are in color. On the 24U Ive seen they are white. Would you know if this is true. and if so, isnthere anyway to chNge it to color on the 24U? Thanks so much. 😊
Thank you! The little things matter too. Unfortunately I don't believe there is a native way to do this. However if you download the GoodLock app, there is a plugin called Lockstar that lets you personalise things like the colour 👍🏼
@@insidetechltd Bless your heart thank you for responding 🙏 I will definitely look into that. 😘👍
Excellent review as always
Thank you very much 🙌🏼
Flat display change everything, it’s perfect now
Really good review, including the content and an easy man/voice of delivery. What was especially helpful to me is that the review gave me something I couldn't find anywhere else. Specifically, s23 U power usage is better when in idle mode. I was spooked by that while comparing the two phones and was thinking I got a lemon (I received s24 U two days ago, and I'm testing it out before sending my s23 U as a trade-in or return s24). And many other things I thought to be a warning sign, which isn't the case, thanks to this review ((e.g., I got used to a brighter images in night shooting).
Thank you!
Congrats for 100k subs
Thank you 🙏🏼
Not worth to switch to S24 ultra if you have s23 ultra
A very concise, and straightforward video as always.. the amount of attention to detail is stellar, especially on the still shot side I say is best in class the amount of time and detailing is exceptional and well done
On the charging side, I noticed that the 65wattscharger your display doesn't give the phone the super fast charging as the 25watt or 45watt Samsung charging gives you can tell from the charging display immediately after you plug it in, the ring light that the displayed supposed to shine a lighter green as suppose to the main green colour it displayed.
the main green colour signifies a normal fast charge or even a normal charge but the light green signifies a super fast charge.
Notice the difference also in the charge is the sound it makes, while you plug it in... the normal charge makes a single sound while the superfast makes a double sound put your ears to it and you will notice it if you have the older 25watts or 45watts you can check it out. But all the same, the 65watts charger is cool and can top up the phone as well.
I also notice that Lily has a new companion he is such a beauty and
lastly, the s24 ultra is a phone to carry just as you said it is a betterment update of near perfection of what the s23ultra had.
And is been a while now my friend.
First of thanks a lot!
Yes, someone else noticed this in the charging section too. Filming that section I had the 65 W charger out on the desk, so when I plugged in the phone to charge I was actually plugging it into my desk (which doesn't have Samsung's super fast charging). The actual Ugreen charger does support this though! Sorry for the confusion.
Lilly and I are actually not big fans of the new 'companion'. It's my sister's puppy we're looking after temporarily, but he's not very nice to Lilly 😢
Good to hear from you!
LOOKS LIKE THE S23 HAS MORE POSITIVES
Not sure about that haha 😅
What video are you watching. It's going the 24's way about 80% of the time
i dont have both and planning to buy one (esp for festivals/concert event). so which one is better between 23 ultra and 24 ultra because it seems the CAMERA fuctionality is pretty much the same, and i also saw a couple reviews kept saying some part of 23's camera is more better than 24..
Your new subscriber❤❤❤❤❤
Do you notice any grainy texture (mura effect) and/or bandings on your phone screen, as some of the users have reported?
I haven't myself, no. I tried to recreate that 'grainy' look people mentioned but haven't been able to. The march security patch is out now so maybe it's worth everyone making sure they're fully updated
Does your unit have grainy display when using in the dark(bedtime)?
Mine does and I believe that grain is caused by the anti reflective coating on the display.
It's not something I noticed actually - but I was focussing more on how dim the display now gets in the dark. I just tested it again though and I don't think it's 'grainy' really. Would be interesting to see if many others have this though!
Excellent video as usual!! I have a note 10 + and i am absolutely happy of every aspect of it. However recently it stopped getting security updates, so i am thinking of upgrading. 7 years of updates from Samsung is a huge plus for me and even if i was thinking of trying the ios platform for the first time, i think i will still go for the S24 Ultra. What would you suggest?
If you've kept your Note 10+ for this long, I think getting an S24 Ultra would probably be a good idea. If you like Samsung's software and the design of the phone (and the S Pen especially), then go for it!
Been patiently waiting for this review.
Thank you for waiting 👊🏼
23:03 bro just caught a ghost in the window, and he didn't even noticed it.
Also please consider Giving an in depth comparison between S24 Ultra vs pixel 8 /8 pro. Cheers ✌🏻
I will!
One key difference I noticed right away is the noise reduction on the S23 Ultra seems to be better than on the S24 Ultra. My S23 does the same thing. Even when I record videos with loud sounds, you can still somehow hear the voices pretty clearly, which is a good and bad thing with the type of content that I create 😂
Thought I'd point that out.
Interesting! That makes sense to me, I thought the mic quality was generally more crisp/amplified so it would make sense that the S23 Ultra is isolating background noise a bit more
@insidetechltd Yeah. That's definitely true. I think general speaker quality (Audio) was where Samsung really peaked with the S23's, but I'm seeing they had added an additional top microphone to the one already there like the S21 series.
you plugged in the charger and it wasn't charging at full speed though? it did not say Fast charge 2.0 when you plugged it in.
That's actually a very good point and an oversight from me. Because the charger was out on my desk whilst filming this segment, I didn't actually plug it into the charger for the bit you see in the video. It was plugged into my standing desk just so I could film some capture, and that's why it didn't show "super fast charging". I should have shown it actually working and not just described it.
The charging speeds you see just before the sponsor were taken using that exact Nexode charger though - I can confirm it does definitely support super fast charging!
I thought i was the only one who noticed the keyboard issue lol!!!
Surprised more people aren't talking about it! Maybe everyone switches to Gboard
Thank you! I'm trying to decide which to buy. I actually really really like the curved display and wish they'd keep it.
The S23 Ultra is still an excellent phone! It’ll be cheaper and has the curved screen you like 👌🏼
It was hard putting on a decent screen protector on, when I had the s23 ultra
The 4500 knit of the OP12 is only from a single area of the phone on the most HDR of conditions...
I'm a note 20 ultra user would this upgrade make sense or should I just hold out for s25. Seems like a daft question but thought id ask to people who know their stuff.
If you are satidfied with Note 20 ultra performance (Im not talking about Camera & Extra features) regular day to day peformance, then you should wait for another year. Might be next year series will have drastic design changes.
@SaiAbhinavTalks Thank you so much mate for taking the time to help me. I am satisfied with my note 20 ultra performance must say I think ill wait it out for the s25.
Agreed - you only want to upgrade if you are specifically unhappy with what you have. I think waiting sounds like the best option 👍🏼
@insidetechltd Thanks mate
which samsung ultra I will purchase?! im so confused 😢😢😢
@Inside Tech. Can someone buy the s23ultra or s24 ultra since I want to buy one of the two phones? I am talking the overall performance.
I also have both and they feel so similar. The 24 ultra could be a 24 ultra S lol.
I would have prefered if they left the 10x optical zoom and upgraded that to 50mp. They went backwards downloading it to 5x for me since i take alot of shots at 20x and up.
I get about 30 min more SOT on the 24 ultra.
Flat screen is most definitely the biggest improvement 😊
Don't forget the Samsung branded anti-reflective screen protector, it works great
It's only film though right? Not glass. I saw the reviews of it on Samsung's website and...😬
@insidetechltd It is film but I love it so far. Same anti reflective properties, no fingerprint cutout. Scratch protection seems pretty good. Installation is kind of rough though.
Oh that's good then! To be honest I'm not against film because i'm not concerned so much about the glass breaking, I just want something to protect from those little, light scratches you get. So I expect the film might work well for that. It's expensive, but if you keep that anti-reflection coating...great!
I also have the Samsung screen protector and love it so far as well. While the anti reflective properties are exactly the same as the screen , it's still about 85-90% of the original anit reflectiveness. 4 weeks into using it and no noticeable scratches either😁
Is there any macro camera
Macro mode: yes. But no separate camera lens just for macro shots
So the UK gets the snapdragon?
For the Ultra, yes
As someone who wants to give the ultras a chance… Which one should i go for? S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra? I am a heavy user, work, gaming and content creation (photography and videography)
The S23 Ultra would be my suggestion. It's extremely capable with those things you mentioned. And if you don't clearly know already that the S24 Ultra is the model you need...you don't need it. For the sake of a big cost saving...i'd go for the S23 Ultra and see what you like about it!
@@insidetechltd Thank you… I wanted the S23 Ultra but the fact that i take long before i upgrade to a new device i think i want to take advantage of the 7 year updates of the S24 ultra. Been using an iphone 7 since launch and it’s done me a good service but it’s time to upgrade.
I miss my s23u. The s24u camera is absolutely terrible
Agreed, I can not get a good picture to save my life.
I got the S24 Ultra at LAUNCH!
Still use my S21 FE (Exynos) to click pictures. The Camera (for stills) is TERRIBLE!
It's worth to note that S24 Ultra has the most advanced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SOC, but Samsung's software limitation is holding back audio capabilities of the new CPU. No aptX Adaptive support? Seriously? They offer older codecs, even their own SSC, but not the latest tech. Let's demand Samsung unlock our phones potential! #aptXAdaptive #SamsungCommunity Samsung I started this topic on the community page a few days ago and it is getting lots of attention through Samsung Members. Let's make Samsung do something about it, showing that we care about our audio experience on our new flagship Smartphones!! We want to spread the awareness of this problem. Lack of APTx HD / older specs of APTx Adaptive or even LHDC for Lossless Audio that phone supports 24bit audio via FLAC is a problem that Samsung have been skipping since S23 Ultra release ignoring needs of many audio enthusiast. I would appreciate someone discussing this in a YT video to raise the awareness in the community of existing S24 Ultra owners and people looking to buy it.
I agree with this 💯. It's my single biggest problem with Samsung phones. It's amazing how many people will buy expensive earbuds and headphones (sometimes specifically for advertised features like 'High-Res' or even 'Lossless' audio) and don't realise that they won't be getting near that quality at all. To not even support aptX HD, let alone Adaptive, is really poor. If they didn't support LDAC, it would actually be even worse than iPhones (AAC on iPhone is actually fairly high quality).
It seems companies are moving away from LDAC now though in favour of aptX Lossless / Snapdragon Sound. So Samsung users are set to fall even further behind. I understand that i'm affected more than a casual user an an audio enthusiast, not everyone is testing hundreds of audio products. But plenty of Samsung users have expensive headphones/earbuds that are being wasted right now.
I agree, a full video should be done on this if it hasn't already!
@@insidetechltd so even if u use the buds 2 pro to pair with s24 ultra u still won’t get hi res sound?
No. Galaxy Buds2 Pro are an exception because Samsung developed their own codec to work specifically with those earbuds (SSC). They do this to try and push customers into buying their own earbuds rather than a competitor (a bit like Apple with AirPods).
So if you want to get the best sound quality out of the s24 ultra you have to get the buds 2 pro then ?! What about buds fe?@@insidetechltd
@insidetechltd Thank you for your reply. We had some valid points in our discussion regarding this with all sorts of active Samsung Members community troubleshooters. We all agree that this limitation should finally be removed. No one wants to be only limited to their own Buds 2 Pros if there are so many more premium options. If we are buying a phone for this price, we expect nothing short of a premium audio experience.
I am still debating of upgrading from my S21 ultra.
Just bought my self the s24 ultra, previous phone was the s10 5g, the amount of tempered glass/hydrogel i used was crazy, a nightmare with that curved glass
OMG I feel you, I did use the s10 5g as well and went through the same
Yes. I do prefer the S23 photos
Will A I. Come to the A9+?😊
22:06 use Camera Assistant module to turn off auto lens switching for 10x optical
Can you let me know different between turn on and turn off lens switching? And to take a picture with high quality, should I turn it on or off?
@ngdtruongit when auto lens switching is turned off, the camera will use the lens you manually select. It won't decide for you, so if you choose 10x, it will shoot with 10x.
Excellent review.
I’m sticking with my s23 ultra.
I hadn’t realised you have to pay for the ai features after a few years:(
The s23 ultra is a great phone. I love the stylus. And might use dex one day. The speaker is disappointing compared to the iPhone 15 plus.
I’m a bit disappointed by Samsung’s copying of Apple, features like scrollable widgets, focus modes, lock screen, icon layouts etc. Samsung were fined for copying Apple when their “how to copy Apple without making it look too obvious” manual was leaked.
However, it helps consumers that Samsung does copy (Apple copies less from Samsung).
I’d have preferred something less iPhone like from Samsung. A shame that LG left the mobile market - their audio approach and innovation was a stand out (ESS sabre quad dac, 3.5mm headphone socket, as card slot, removable second screen…).
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic review, as usual. Certainly will hang on to my S23 U for another couple of years at least.
I do have a gripe though, which is that you keep referring to "optical zoom". But there is absolutely no optical zooming here. The lenses are all fixed focal length, and the impression of "zooming" is simply switching between the different fixed focal length cameras, or digital zoom. An optical zoom is achieved with a lens with variable focal length, and almost no phones have a camera lens like this.
Thank you. I know what you’re saying about the zoom terms. But it’s just a lot easier to use those terms to describe the difference in the videos. Otherwise it would get really wordy and complicated. People know what I’m referring to when I say ‘optical’ vs ‘digital’ zoom - I haven’t found a better or more concise way of referring to them
You can switch lenses. Just download camera assistent and enable the feature. Otherwhise it's an unfair comparison
I don't think it's unfair - I compared the phones as they are. You need to download a separate app to do this, you could also edit photos and then compare them. I showed off using the Pro mode to take a 10x shot, highlighted the improvement this brings and then compared it to the S24U - I think that makes it fair 🤷♂️
@@insidetechltd only that the Camera Assistent is an official app that is necessary to setup the phones camera to your liking. The video was good, that's not my point. My point is that you made a false claim about the lens not switching
First party app fixes Lens Switching with Good Lock. Grab the Camera Assistant module.
05:04 look at differences in black sides. S24 ultra has best black screen on market. I compared with S24+/S24, iPhone 15 Pro Max in real life. And S24 Ultra screen is unbelievably enormous. I never seen anything like this before.
What is that game you're playing at the start of the video?!
Pascal's Wager
something everyone should be aware of is that the AI features are only free untill the end of next year and I doubt many people will want to pay for them. perhaps we should therefore be questioning what the camera will be like without the AI?
Please what game are you playing during the review
Pascal's Wager
22:00 Bro, just go to camera assistant settings and turn of Auto Lens Switching in S23 Ultra
Can you let me know different between turn on and turn off lens switching? And to take a picture with high quality, should I turn it on or off?
@@ngdtruongitauto lens switching basically lets the software pick the lens it thinks is the best. It sometimes wont switch to telephoto lens for even zoomed shots resulting in a worse image
S23 still beast❤
I gave my sister my s23 ultra, now i have the s24 ultra in violet but right away, my sim card tray broke, and i couldn't get my sim card out of the phone, so my cell phone provider sent me a mastercard that was worth $1562, so i bought the s24 ultra unlocked in black, so now i have two s24 ultra, i am still paying for the first phone.
I have noticed this issue with the Samsung keyboard upgrading from the s22 ultra. I feel as if im making more mistakes while typing on the s24 ultra, has other s24 ultra users dealing with this issue.
It was a widely reported problem ever since launch - i've switched to Gboard for now
I have a galaxy s23. Update to the s24 or wait for the s25?
It depends, what do you not like about your S23?
@@insidetechltd it's Not what I don't like. I love my S23 ultra. But I also look at the screen Non- reflect on the New model. S24 ultra
@@user-jgn1944 You shouldn't be considering an upgrade unless you actively dislike something about what you currently have. There will always be new phones with better features. Always. So if you just upgrade for the sake of it...you'll never be satisfied.
If you love your current phone...don't upgrade!
@@insidetechltd you know that I often have a look at CZcams to see what is happening in the phone world. Doesn't automatically mean that I am going to change. I am allowed an interest without purchasing. Correct?
Ok...do what you want then 🤷♂️ You asked what I think you should do and i've given my advice
Is it me/ my eyesight. Or are the S24 photos darker, in Almost all cases?
Not just you, the photos are definitely darker this year!
As the AI features will becomes subscription based from next year, do you still prefer s23u users to update?
No. I didn't think S23 users should upgrade either way
I don't agree that the 10x digital zoom on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is better than the 10x optical zoom on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultras 10x optical zoom is clearly better in the images you showed, where the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra still looks good but has more of a water color effect to it in comparison. But I'm guessing that's something you clearly like.
Personal preference
I beg to disagree .
....i have s22 and s23u and have extensively compared it with s24 ultra and there is barely anything noticably different in the camera department....
S23 ultra is the sweet spot . I have my auto lens switching off in the camera assistant.
Only place where s24 ultra shines is the 6x to 9.9x zoom but even that is not discerable ....after 10x s23 takes over ....and maintains the lead in all circumstances.
Overall the changes are barely discernable at 500percent crop ...s24u does have better character recognition algorithm somewhat ...
All samsung had to do was to put a 200mp sensor on 3x and 50mp sensor on 10x and that would be a real upgrade....
For now s23 utra is much better value proposition...it has far less bugs in the camera department....
I did repeatedly say that you can't tell much of a difference without zooming in a lot. I even said the S23U can look better without zooming in. That already tells you the camera differences are mostly small. I also pointed out the S23 Ultra pulling ahead again at higher zoom levels.
So I think i've been quite reasonable in my approach and pointed out both the pros and the cons. I appreciate that you revised your original comment, but to suggest I was trying to 'sell' the S24U and that the review wasn't neutral seems a little harsh. I have absolutely nothing to gain whatsoever in putting any form of bias into these videos. I bought the phones with my own money and worked extremely hard on a detailed comparison to to try and help as many people as I can 🤷♂️
What game where you playing?
Pascal's Wager
since my update when I go into messages the screen flickers.
Oh dear 😬
I was looking for this comparison so Thank you for the detailed work.
I am from India and been CURSED with the Global Exynos Versions once again 🙄.
I was really looking to buy the S24 Plus which hits all the boxes for me from long term support to good form factor and almost all flagship features but now I either have to look at S23 Plus or go for the Much bigger Boxy S24 Ultra.
This is Samsung's way of FORCING their Plus global Customers to be forced to consider the Ultra. Samsung adopting Apple tactics while advertizing to counter their business model truly annoys me 😒
Will look into your S23 Plus vs S24 plus comparison. Thank you 👍🏻✌🏻❤️
Don't worry, i'll talk about all of those things in the new video. I also get stuck with the Exynos version here in the UK 🥲 We'll see how bad/different they are though!
The improvements are really great!! My favourite is the one that comes to all Android phones, Quick Share.
Credit to Samsung and Google🙌
I've been using Xender for almost my whole life using a phone and now Quick Share has come to make it easier. Instead of always having to scan a QR code, I just leave Bluetooth and WiFi on and file sharing is always on the ready.
As for the S24 series as flagship phones, I'd say they have more competition from Xiaomi, especially because Xiaomi flagships finally have 4K 60fps selfie video😂
I know the advantages of Samsung but the Xiaomi 14 is pretty compelling with its much improved features and fast charging with an actual charger in the box.
It's disappointing that the 14 Pro will most probably not be available in the global market
Agreed. Quick Share is excellent!
The oversharpening of the s23u is bugging me since release. And its not getting any better😒
About Pixel 8 Pro, when?
If people still want to see that comparison I could do it in a few weeks time I think. Got a couple of other important videos to come first though 😬
Id seriously like to see it pixel is one of my favorite phones.
@@insidetechltdIs it just me, or have you lost your enthusiasm for the Pixel series? In the past, you also presented Pixel phones as soon as they appeared. 🙄
Not at all! Remember I chose the Pixel 7 Pro as my favourite vs the Ultra and iPhone. I just don't make dedicated reviews on them because my Pixel 4 reviews didn't seem to generate much interest. I'll still do a Pixel 8 Pro vs Galaxy S24 Ultra vs iPhone 15 Pro Max comparison though - just got a couple of other projects to finish first
I like my s23 ultra ♥️ not upgrading to the s24, I like camera on s23 ultra better in my opinion
Nice 👍🏼
Samsung does let you choose the lens by installing Camera Assistant. It's actually quite simple.
4K at 120Hz has nothing to do with the possessor as Sony has been doing it for a couple of generations.
Yeah, it doesn't let you do it natively though which is what I was referring to. There are lots of apps you can install to let you do this
I’m afraid to give so much money when for a phone when there’s a chance of grainy screen issue of the display. ITS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A FLAGSHIP
I'd totally agree - it wouldn't be acceptable for a flagship. I tested mine thoroughly though and didn't have any issues
As a decade or so long samsung user (ever since the Galaxy S7) I have to say their photo quality has increasingly deteriorated (better night time results, worse daytime photos) and lately never really reached the one of the iphone, especially not the one of the 14 or 15pro. Just look at DXO results/review. I currently have an S22 and photo quality is abysmal, there is no other word to describe it. My g/f's iphone 14 pro is vastly superior in most aspects. Don't even start me on video. Samsung's face detection is a joke, why do they even bother and the fingerprint reader doesn't work half the time with a screen protector, even with screen sensitivity increased! Battery life is shoddy. - Year after year I give them another chance and usually am taken in by features, most of which I never use! In addition to all of this, as if it wasn't enough, us Europeans also get screwed with a processor which usually comes second to the Qualcom derivative. This year my chosen handheld is the iphone Pro. The only thing I still need to figure out is Max or smaller Pro. I had two Notes in succession and then changed to the S22 because of size. Occasionally, but not often, I miss the larger size. More often than not, especially in summer, I'm glad for the pocketability of the smaller phone. Now the pen of the 'Note' is a great gadget and one I did use occasionally but not enough to make this the feature I really need. Plus the S24 Ultra is an absolute brick. Soon enough you'll find yourself wishing for a smaller phone. 'Are you just pleased to see me ... '? Even on the older Notes, the phones were more uncomfortable to hold, pocket and operate one handed. At least they've gotten rid of the horrible curved screens but the sharp corners are clearly form over function and will make pocketability, or what's left of it, nigh on impossible.
As to operating systems, honestly, I prefer Android but once you accept the limitations on ios, its ok and you appreciate how good the things you have work. I use a Macbook Pro M2 and so far resisted the iphone for stupid reasons, it's changing now.
Samsung = Jack of all trades ... master of none.

@@hollywelham5471 Thanks!
I don't think these phones getting wider since the Note 20 Ultra is an ergonomic improvement. The 24 barely feels like an upgrade, especially for the standard and plus models in Europe. People would be better off with the s23 snapdragon phones. Note 20 ultra has the best in hand feel.
Agreed. I talk about this in full in the new video comparing the smaller phones to the Ultra. Also gonna discuss the Exynos/Snapdragon issue!
excellent video friend 🫂
Thank you!
I'm waiting until the S29 or possibly the S30 Ultra.
where's 24 ultra vs ip 15 pro and pro max?
Thanks for this thorough review. I'm still on my S21 Ultra right now. I think I'll be switching over to S24 Ultra after watching your review
Thanks for watching!
I just did that and finished copying the files from my s21 ultra on the s24 ultra
Worthy upgrade for me from Pixel 5, S27 is my next phone.
What no CZcamsrs told us is the anti glare coating on the S24 Ultra does not include the S24 and S24 Plus. I bought the S24 before I know.
I told you that 🤷♂️ got a whole video dedicated to the differences between the S24 models
With sharp edges, I don't think this would be a comfortable fit in the hand.
The edges are actually quite smooth, they've been rounded off to improve comfort. But the corners are still sharp
But. Fit a screen protector and you lose the Non- reflective affect
19:13 You can disable Auto Lens Switching in the Camera Assistant App, I think that might fix that.
Yes it does 👍🏼
I've found the battery has improved allot.
Nice 👍🏼
Make outdoor test s23 win.display brightness
I…did…🤷♂️
I love that the s24 ultra has less halo affect with lights.
Same! No one is really talking about this but I think it's a very obvious improvement
Seems to me it’s a load of software bullshit. So if they bring an update out for the s23 yeah remember that phone they don’t bring updates out for ? How many did it get from release? Not many. So it seems to me the s24 is just a software update for replacing the s23 when all your getting is a flatter display and ai which is software from google. You have the front to say the s24 is better when you should be pulling it down. I mean people pay good money for these phones to have them replaced by the same model with software enhancements. It’s a joke mate, stand up for people and tell these companies to stop bringing out phones that are not different. By the way did you know there is very little metal on the outside and most of the phone is plastic inside holding that very thin metal together? The s23 with a software update which Samsung never brings would make it just like the s24. And they talk about green and these companies keep making pointless phone to make more mess in this world. Phones to me should come out ever 3 years. Let’s see if you get your 7 years of updates on this phone ? I bet you get very few because when the s25 comes out this phone will be forgotten for updates. About time something was done about this in the prices they charge for a phone to be a 1 year wonder. Update the s23 with a decent update and it would be just like the s24 but we can’t have that because Samsung just want to fuck you over with their bullshit.
I think I spoke about all of the upgrades honestly...I didn't pretend anything was more than it actually is. Whether or not you think they are worthy upgrades or not is up to you!
I think reviewers should stop saying samsung copied apple with the titanuim material as if titanuim just lay readily available on the street to grab to mass produce phone in just 4 months. It's obvious this has been in work before now. Moreover, there were phones like VERTU in 2007 and Essentials in 2023 that came with titanuim before Apple.
As I said in the video, companies copy each other
I'll use my s23ultra for another year❤
Good choice 👍🏼
I bought S23U for around 69000 rupees from Saudi.. its great deal for me. I cannot pay more than that.
Dude... One second, the s23 ultra is oversaturated so the s24u looks better. Next, the s24 ultra looks better because it is more saturated :P I have both phones & belive me when I say, the s24ultra is a joke of an upgrade from the s23 ultra.
He just wants to sell the new phone, that's what he gets paid to do.
Hello Brother , Did you notice any Screen Grainy Issues on display?😊
No I didn't at all - seeing a fair few comments asking about this but I didn't have it 🤷♂️
@@insidetechltd Bro I want to buy .. But I came to see that Lot of people have this Grainy Display issue .. $1200 are not cheap . One does not want to get this issue on this price :") .
Its real . Most of them gets this whether at less than 10% Brightness or In Dark Mode .. Can You confirm that ?
@@imnoman4205 Im in the same position, it’s not acceptable to pay so much money and to hope that your unit is not affected.
@@danielbozev6942 yes man .. Thinking to skip this year and wait for S25U .. I hope its worth waiting. I hate iPhones
I prefer the pictures taken on the S23 Ultra during the day. Night photos are better on the S24
Yeah that's fair enough
