The S24 Ultra design is the greatest that Samsung has come up with in years. I wish Samsung had kept with the S24 Ultra design for at least two years. However, with the S25 Ulta design, Samsung will lose its trademark Ultra series charm.

I've had the blue 1gb since launch, and i absolutely LOVE this phone! I use the s pen at least once a week (notes at church), and i love having so much storage that i don't have to worry about deleting apps in order to free up space (only have 25% full!).

Nice video! Just upgraded my s23u to s24u titanium grey and it loooooks sexy. Way more premium looking than the s25u. For me overall, not much diff with s23u but i love the fact that this has 7 yrs software support. :)
How is the screen with the finger prints being difficult to remove. You see this as an issue after a year. Does it matter if you pre-order or wait until they fix all the bugs.
Heyy man! Should I wait for the s25 ultra or go with the s24 ultra? Kinda want a badass phone, cause I had the s22 ultra, but had to get a cheapy phone, cause the update messed up my ultra! I currently have the s24 fe but want something better!
Actually pre order it you gonna get a crazy deal with it like extra storage in smae price and if you trade in it for your s22 u I think you won't pay more than 750$ for 512gb model @@j_dogs_channel
If they'd change SW photo over-processing (video and front faced are great) and added battery >5000mah with faster charging - it would be my primary phone. Now I use Xiaomi 13 Pro more often since I take a lot of photos in nature and can't always drag my DSLR along. Shame because on 25 they removed BT from pen and I do use that as remote for camera when Samsung is on stand, so I'll skip 25 altogether. Bottom line, amazing all rounder, one of the best for that, but if you're a niche user, especially for photography, there are better options out there.
Last year, I had a difficult time choosing what to get: An iphone 15 pro max or an S24 Ultra? But after careful research and endless unbiased videos about the phone, I got the s24 ultra and I'm loving it every single day.
Hi Nick, are you gonna trade the s24U in for the s25U again? Or are you gonna keep it & do more versus videos, since people are keeping their phones longer now. Or are you only gonna keep iPhones?
S24 ultra🥰 The best phone ever🤩 flat screen....Note style....Great camera....Decent battery Moreover, This amazing device will have a good long years of software updates
Thank you for a great video. We appreciate your honest opinion. I love the S pen, & the boxy look that sets it apart from IPhone. I'm a die-hard Note user. Too bad the S25 is just another IPhone clone look alike. I'm waiting to have my S 24 Ultra delivered soon. Thanks.
Was it worth the price?? usually it doesn't matter most of us..most of us just finance phones through our carrier and upgrade and jump to next phone. I don't have $1300 to drop all at once
Just ordered mine and should come tomorrow. Depending on how the s25 looks tomorrow, I may either return the s24 ultra and get the s25 ultra or just keep
Just picked one up for 409 euro on contract. Didn't like the looks of the s25 ultra and wanted the shared off designs. Also you can control your TV with this if it's a samsung 😂😂
One drop in owning it almost a year is all it took to take out the screen. Switched to the OnePlus 13 because I cannot afford $1500 for 512GB of storage and haven't looked back.
I really enjoyed s24 series esp, the 24 base model. It has an amazing camera system compared to predicessor n to some of her competitor on the go…good battery life n more.
It’s an absolute killer phone, I do love mine and will be keeping it for quite a few years but I do have to disagree on the camera. It’s the only weak link in its armour. I don’t rate it at all. I much prefer my iPhone 16 pro max or even pixel 8a for taking pictures.
Absolutely spot on about the cameras. If Samsung could fix the multitude of issues related to camera/processing then they’d be deserving of 100% praise but they’ve had the same issues for years…..YEARS, and done absolutely nothing about it.
Been with Apple for years but last year got mine Feb 4,2024 and damaged my Screen 01/17/2025. My ointment (glass container) accidently dropped on my screen now it has a permanent white edge light on the top line and a cracked near the Front Facing Camera. Busy to go in a Samsung Service Center but not Sure if Samsung can replace my Screen and retain the water resistance.. I heard once opened the water resistance is Gone. Does someone know the Answer? Still loving my S24 Ultra.
Hey Nick. I’m a 13 mini user switching to S25. I’m not a fan of big phones. However, I’m a fan of the benefits of a big phone. Do u think I would get used to an S25+ or ultra? Maybe with a MagSafe pop socket? I only ask because I know you have experience going from a mini to a large phone. Thanks if you have time.

ATTENTION!. Opinion of a conscious user. Not for the faint of heart. First, you need to understand that computing power has nothing to do with multitasking because the system is limited. The more applications we turn on, the faster (which is a paradox / the key word is application optimization) our super phone will probably get out of breath and the battery will go flat. Colloquially speaking. So a conscious choice, not faith in miracles, fairy tales and other national holidays. Thank you and goodbye!.
