@Billzloveschelsea I got £576.35 discount including the free watch offer too of course but not including trade-in which is £600 for me.
On my S23 ultra for the past month or so, can say, i see no reason in upgrading, the form factor, the battery, processor, camera all of it is perfect, a material change and a flat screen isnt enough to convince me, but id highly recommend the S23 Ultra to anyone. I was iphone most of my life, crazy how amazing samsung really is!
i had google pixel phones for the past year this is the first year that i change to Samsung and i pre-ordered the new device hopefully i wont regret it
@@stevemustafa_91 you'll love it man trust me, pixels are good and all, but I thought the iPhone 14 pro max was the best phone in the world a year ago, hell I was wrong, can confidently say the best phone on the market, is S23 Ultra
same here l, i ain't changing my s23 ultra
@@Vlad.007 sure that's the case with a lot of people, but I love this phone to bits
@lancethewolf7481 im upgrading from 21u to 24u and i kinda of regret it
I'm gonna keep my S23 Ultra for like 3 years. The battery, camera, performance, and speed are all amazing. It doesn't heat up as much as the S22 Ultra.
That's the way it's supposed to be
Same
I have a 22 . Should I upgrade?
@@damellman 22 is trash I think you should upgrade
Best thing is that S23 will be getting AI features like what S24 did, in March this year!
S23 Ultra has to be the best phone Samsung ever put together. Differences in comparison to it and future generations aren't going to be big whatsoever. Go for S23 Ultra guys, you'll have a beast.
S24 is just a more refined S23 Ultra. Honestly, If you have the S23 stick to it. But if you are coming from the S21 or S22 Ultra then I think it's a HUGE upgrade.
@DJ118USMC Nah, for what average user needs, s21 ultra is still great. If we're talking about smartphone enthusiasts which are minority, maybe. Phones are getting too good to change that easily.
@@DJ118USMConly reason im leaning more on my 23u is the SD chip vs the exynos of the 24u
Agree..
I recently bought a used S23 Ultra with 512 GB storage in perfect condition.
Nice to now see a comparison between the S23 and S24 Ultra. I think both are awesome phones.
Yeees! I was definitely waiting on these kind of videos.
Yep.
Yes, especially with gcam)
Still doesn’t compare to the 15 pro max
@@dadillonful Samsung is better thank to gcam, you can't install gcam on iphone and use custom configs
Been waiting for this. I'm rocking the S23 ultra and I want to definitely be sure that the upgrade will be worth it. My heart is telling me to wait for the S25.
If you can take advantage of the preorder and trade in deals then consider it. If not, the S23 Ultra is a great phone and will last a while
@@SuperSaf just seen the trade in and pre-order deal and it's amazing. Will definitely check it out. Thank you.

Dude I have the S22 Ultra and won't upgrade for another two years if possible. These phones are all so close in performance it's not worth upgrading annually, biannually. I say three years out of these phones at least.
@@sunofabob Agreed.. videos like this sound like you really need the upgrade based on very small differences you won't notice day to day. For most users like me, you won't find a difference between the two unless you go looking.
@@sunofabob I support the 3 years min suggestion. I'm rocking an S21 Ultra and am finally gonna upgrade to the S24 Ultra cuz I feel there's a big enough difference to justify it. Minimum 3 years is definitely the best option if you don't wanna feel like you're wasting your money
Fkn hell you've got a new subscriber. 0:09 and I already gotten an honest answer?? I'm watching the rest on principle b/c I came looking for info, and subbing b/c of lack of bs. Thank you for not butting around the bush!
The high end and mid range phones are so close in performance and have barely changed over the last 4 years that most people would have a hard time noticing differences in photo and video quality. The main reason to upgrade for most people is now battery life, zoom and low light photos.
I always get the version before the newest one and I've had my s21 ultra for quite a while so I've decided to get the s23 ultra! I'm so excited to finally experience it!
You'll like it. I noticed a pretty good jump just from the S22U (processor, storage speed, and battery life)
@@authurgunn3880- Why wouldn't you just take advantage of the trade in deal? 🤔
Same here, just ordered s23 for literally half the price of s24 😂
Same but I miss the shape of the s21 😢
@@authurgunn3880 S23 series is getting Galaxy AI
First youtuber to mentioned less vibrant display in s24 ultra
👍🏽
Thanks for confirming about the display..... I was having OP 9 pro earlier then purchased S23 Ultra and I found out most of the people were Complaining about Muted or less vibrant color on S23 Ultra compared to S21 etc, I felt that My OP 9 pro was more vibrant than S23 Ultra...... I immediately sold S23U, now S24U is more muted then S23U then it's a big noooooo, I purchase phones for Display experience...... Thanks @SuperSaf
Yea I've noticed a downward trend with screen vibrancy over the corse of the ultra series (ive owned every one). Can't believe even less vibrant than the S23!? 😢 Maybe it can be adjusted in the settings?
Actually his good friend the tech chap beat him to the punch but to be fair he did reference supersaf when he said it
@@e5m956 They put an option for the user to increase the vivid but it doesn't really change much, just like when trying to adjust to make the screen less yellowish.
one thing to improve in video. you have s24 in right hand and s23 in left .. but showing pictures you show s23 in right and s24 in left. consistency would be nice
Great comparison and well explained regarding the advantage of the 5x telephoto over the 10x. I explained this to another TH-camr and the results are close. When the light levels are low, the 5x will produce better results. The advantage of the S24 Ultra is the fact that all cameras can be switched for zooming from Ultra wide to longest telephoto zoom in UHD 4K 60fps. The S23 Ultra has to stop recording to switch lenses. There are other S24 advantages, but not enough to get one over my current S23 Ultra that I owned.
Yes i send the s24u back. I find the S24U more unwieldy than the S23U. The s23u display looks more borderless The S Pen is wobbly on the S24U and does not sit centered.
@@andygrammde What does "the pen is wobbly" mean? The screen is flat. It should be even more stable wring near the edges.
Additionally, S23 series are getting Galaxy AI One UI 6.1. Means you should not upgrade.
Got my S23 Ultra 512GB with a good deal during Black Friday so I can patiently wait for the S25 or even S26 Ultra
How much you got the price during black Friday deal?
I'm going to keep my S23 Ultra but fair play to you for explaining how to get the new phone for as little money as possible, i'm sure that will benefit a lot of people
D best review i ever seen.
Subscibed imm as impressed by ur appealing style.
Checking all yt videos on the subject in english, hindi & marathi for last 15 days & much confused as to whether upgrade from s21u to s24u or to s23u.
After watching full video with taking into consideration every small detail explained by u, i am in a position to take a decision. Thnx a lot !
Expecting such many more videos in future giving clear message on variety of subjects.
Thank you for your kind words, glad the video was helpful
Excellent video Saf! Continue like that ! I'm still using the S21 Ultra and I'm still very happy with my phone. In general, I don't feel the need to buy anything new because the differences are still very small in my personal opinion. Samsung and Apple have been selling the same phones for 3 generations. And as far as their presentations are concerned, I have the feeling that even they don't know what to cite as a difference, so they cite some very small things and just present them as big.
Best Regards from Europe
Very true , they themselves dont know, in presentations they kind of pass the ball to each other
@@dratul15
The same design for a couple of years, the same cameras, the same sensors, Fingerprint, waterproof, gorilla glass this or that... Android as Android, same icons, same apps, everything works the same except for AI which is on S24 AI on steroids - who needs that I agree. Besides that... nothing new. Waste of money.Same goes for Apple.
@@milosvukovic5720 yes apple is worse in would say
I have a S21U and definitley upgrading. The battery life isn't great, the camera performance in low light and video dont hold a candle to S24U, no spen, 4x tougher display and anti-reflective. way more pros as well
Running the snapdragon S22 Ultra here, also zero intent to upgrade, maybe around S26 or something
Got my S24 Ultra today. The grey titanium looks dope!
How the battery backup.
Washed out colors? Compared to s21 seems a downgrade screen
@besjond I just upgraded from s21 and I don't see any hit
Hi Saf, I follow your videos for a while, and I always enjoy precise, and technical videos, very detailed, I going swap from the 1st ultra, s20u16/512gb to s24u12/1tb and I am really excited about it, but mine in UK will arrive on 19 of February, unfortunately, thank you for your videos and your dedication
Thank you for the comment. It's a bit of a wait but will hopefully be worth it 🙌🏾
Woah good shit man. I have a s21 ultra and I'm thinking of waiting for the s25 ultra. Should I go with the s24 ultra or wait another year for the 25? 🤔
Anyone still rocking the s21 ultra? 😂
Yes sir 😂😂😂😂
I was, just upgraded though lol
@@ferklibs Was the upgrade a huge leap? I'm still on my s21 ultr and don't have many problems save for maybe the 120hz being choppy
I'm still rocking my S10+!! It has finally worn out though lol. I'm now trying to decide which to get between these 2..
Still on my s21 ultra thinking of getting the s23 ultra
Thanks for your comparison video, truly clear explanation with image with wordings. Excellent! Keep it up. ❤
Performance and looks wise, it's too minor for me to upgrade.
Thank you for the side by side comparison of the two.
Staying on S22U and waiting for S25U. Saf what would in your opinion be a perfect zoom camera setup if you had to make choice between optical zoom lenght on two?
Wait for s25 ultra
@befree322 I'm also waiting for the S25 Ultra with a symmetric camera not one-sided. It will look very cool.
Great comparison. Have been waiting patiently for this type of review!
Hey Saf, would you recommend the S24 ultra over the newest iphone for video/photo content. (mainly thinking about attachment lenses etc, filters etc.)
That 100 X zoom comparison should've shown more of that 'rings' ghost staring there from the house..👻 S23 U's moon zooms look more detailed, especially for those craters. The S23 U was even better at that night zoom on the placard..
I'm using s9+ and currently in my 6th year of having it. I am considering to upgrade either to S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra. Newest ones are usually better, but my main consideration is camera and design, which leans me toward S23 ultra more (the flat screen combined with cornered edges in S24 Ultra makes it look bulkier to me). However, the discounts and promos during preorder period of S24 Ultra seems like a good deal. I am still torn in between, haha.
Your a smart person. No need to upgrade every year or even every 3 years. Waste of money
Had my s9+ since it launched. Still holding up well despite my broken screen. I have pre-ordered the new s24 ultra.😊
Bro is living 10 years in the past lmaoo
Same like you from s9+ to s23 ultra its too good
Same situation...i am also leaning towards s23 ultra as its last phone to have curve screen
Do you have also graphic issues in the samsung weather app? Especially when it shows the weather in the night and you look closely while scrolling the display it shows kind of squares. Do you have the same thing? I think it's a software problem. Thank you very much. Greetings Mark
Your content & clarity abt the product up to the mark..great to see your review always..
S24U vs S22U would be a better upgrade comparison considering folks are usually on a 2 year cycle, or even longer these days
Oh yea! I'm rocking the S21U
Well I still use my s10+ also have a working s8 too. Considering getting s24U but can't decide if black or grey
Honestly is not worth it even if you have s20 ultra you should still wait for s25 ultra
Indeed! I'm still rocking my S21 Ultra! The S24 seems like a worthy upgrade
Would be a better comparison for sure, but less people would click on the video if it was an s22ultra.
If you put on a screen protector the vibrancy will come back. It’s because of the anti reflective coating. Same as on the steam deck Oled with the etched glass. Dave 2D explains and demonstrates it very well.
I can't find his video but I don't understand... If the glass underneath is anti-reflective, adding a thin transparent film or window on top shouldn't have any meaningful effect. Why would it?
No. Unfortunately doesn't make a difference. My S22+ is much more vivid and rich as compared to my new S24 Ultra. Both these phones have a spigen screen guard ! A bit disappointing display this time..... probably get used to it in some days !
@@amoghmayekar5585 well damn that is a bummer. I’ll have to see this Friday once my device comes in. When I was at the Samsung store the s24u didn’t seem less vibrant than the s24 plus or my current iPhone 15pm. Unfortunately I sold my s23u so I can’t compare it. I do like the less reflections though. If the screen does in fact not look that great when watching content or customizing the display then maybe I’ll send it back for the s24 plus which doesn’t have anti glare.
Just a heads up! They added a vibrancy slider which needs to be maxed out under the RGB sliders in "advanced options" it can be a bit tricky to find. But after being maxed out. The vibrancy matches previous models.
Bad choice by Devs. Vivid mode should be vivid to the maximum by default. If it is too much it can be turned down, rather than turned up via advanced settings
@klaushouse117 true but atleast we have options now. I have mine set on the 2nd setting of the slider and I use extra brightness toggle and now I barely have my brightness slider up. Looks stunning.
I think the camera performance on S24 ultra can be pushed further in upcoming update
Youd have to be out of your mind to upgrade from an s23 ultra to an s24 ultra. Its like an overall 2% increase in everything.
I love the variety thoughts of yours... Love from India...
"Is it worth upgrading?, the short answer of course is NO".
IIII LOVED IT!!! THANK YOU
GREAT VIDEO
Thank you for the comparison!
I'm glad about what you said about the "colors being more vibrant in the S23U than S24U
Because I feel like the photos that I take feel too vibrant on the S23ultra and I wished it was a bit more "natural",which the S24U is definitely doing.
You should do a comparison of the S21 Ultra and S24 Ultra. I know a lot of people on three year contracts who are now looking to upgrade, me included.
I preordered the 1tb ultra last week from Samsung Ireland. The main reason was the deal i got. I am trading in my s23 ultra 512 gb for €855($930) off the s24. I can also claim a free galaxy watch 6 40mm bt which is a pretty good deal.
Excellent reviews.
My carrier only take my s23 ultra for 480 and Samsung gives me an additional 200....
@davidl6264 not too bad of a deal.
Really that site has huge payment verification problems with cards.😂
Upgrading one year later usually makes no sense, but the 7 years support and AI features does make it a little interesting.
There's no point upgrading to the 24 cos the 25 will be a lot better
I just ore ordered the s24 ultra. I'm still stuck with my old S21 ultra and it's still performing perfectly impeccable. Can't wait to get my hands on the new series
Hi bro. I have pixel 8 pro what you say did I need to changed to Samsung s24 ultra or keeping my phone ? and is it true the next year 2025 you need to pay for AI in Samsung to used ?
Im still rocking the S21 Ultra, this video helped some but i might be swinging to either getting S23 Ultra or holding out again till the S25 Ultra next year.
Me too!
I went with the S24 Ultra from my S21 Ultra. If there wasn't $1000 trade in + free storage upgrade I would of waited until the S25 Ultra.
How did u get $1,000 trade in for the S21 when I only got a quote for $750 for my S22 ultra?
@@oscara137 My provider was offering $1000 for any Samsung device (In good condition) for the S24 Ultra.
The upgrade deals were too good to pass up. I traded in my S21U. Who knows if we'll get these deals next year because samsung popularity is starting to explode with these flagships
I’ve been waiting for this review although my s23 ultra is still running like new
Wait for the S26 U, it will be much better in terms of zoom and camera
why wouldn't it bro it's been only a year 😂
Omg that cam in low light is super 🤯🤯🤯 no phone can do that I have the 23U but I have felt in love with24u
I'm really waiting for this comparison. Thank you sir for this
Watching this on my S23 Ultra..😉
Watching on my new S24 Ultra Violet version!
You won't regret this device!
How are the colors?
@@besjond I like it! It's pretty nice!
Sure? Am I not going wrong if I switch it from the s23 ultra?
@@laurasolis2781 I would only switch if you really need the s24 ultra ai features honestly I don't see no point in switching. But if you wanna switch I would recommend a trade in instead of buying it for full price.
I dont know it is worth to get upgrade from s10+ eventually to the S24 ultra or plus i dunno which one
Amazing and informative..well done
I had a S22U 8gen1. Since I used it for video editing, gaming and emulation, the chip's massive heating flaw made me jump to the S23U, which is essentially a s22u done right. I can do all of those intensive tasks without suffering from the heating and throttling the previous model had. It works so great I don't feel like updating to the s24u this year - think I can wait for the s25u or even the s26u.
Also, not really sold on those AI feats that will eventually come to my phone anyway, and since most are going to be locked behind a monthly subscription starting 2025, I don't think I'm gonna really miss them anyway lol
Interesting video, the S24 Ultra seems like a decent device but I won't be upgrading from my S23 Ultra, especially as most of the AI features are likely to come to it with One UI 6.1
Same here! I prefer 10x zoom.. man I almost bought S24u lol
@@yusufabdurrauf7429S23 has same zoom options
AI features are S24 exclusive and WiFi 7 on all S24 models
@@RobertK1993 they are for now, but Samsung have already announced that most of the AI features are coming to the S23 range plus the Z Fold and Flip 5 before the second half of the year. You can Google it...
@@RobertK1993 no, they are not S24 exclusives. where did you hear this? samsung confirmed the AI features will come to the more recent flagships last i heard
If you have the s23 ultra you shouldn’t upgrade right now. Either wait for Samsung to jack their trade ins up to $1000 in a couple months like they always do or wait a little longer than that for Samsung to do a sale like they did with the s23 ultra last year. I got a s23 ultra for $799 with no trade in 6 or 7 months after it came out.
But I can pay less than that now with a older phone trade in and get free Buds2 Pro and case. The Buds2 pro is $229.99 themselves. I think if you want the best deal the time is now. Do they give you free stuff such as the Buds2 Pro halfway through the year? 🤔
No. But they don't give any free stuff in eastern europe. So depends on where u are.@@e5m956
I don't like the trade in offer either since I just paid 1169.00 for my 512GB S 23 Ultra in Dec 2023
Who did you buy your Samsung Ultra through ?
3:07 , it's the Samsung Smart Switch App, it makes the Vivid option the same as the Natural option in the screen color settings.
Thanks for the vid! Very useful. Could you please recommend a screen protector that doesn't affect the reflections reduction capability of the S24 Ultra? 🙏

I am upgrading from S21 ultra and honestly I would’ve still kept it if I hadn’t broken my screen couple of days ago. Current preorder deals are amazing though. Ordered S24 ultra 512gb for a total of 1120€…
They not giving un as much as you think..
i got the S24U for $630 by trading in my S21U
Where did u order it from at such good price?
Very good
Upgrading from the s20U which I really like, especially the sd card but close up pictures are just blurry and Samsung never addressed the issue. Looking forward to the new phone but I do admit I prefer the rounded corners of the s20U in your pocket.
Thank you for saying right away if it’s worth upgrading!!! I watched the video all the way anyway, but I really appreciate the honesty!
I currently have the s23 ultra, and it's an amazing phone. I unfortunately cracked it while snowboarding and got water on it. I filled a claim. They said s23 ultras are on back order for another month. They said their policy is to give me the same phone or better. They recently emailed me and said they have s24 ultras in stock, which they are sending me in place of my s23 ultra at no extra cost! Hoping for a good upgrade at no cost!!
Actually s23ultra is a beast
So true
facts
Ive been waiting so long for AOD wallpapers!!!! Im switching to the S24 Ultra, Im working for Bell so im just waiting when we start selling them
Is there any edge screen features/edge panel available on the S24 Ultra? I have a Note 10+ and looking to upgrade but I love the cool edge features it has. It looks cool when I get notifications.
Much awaited video for S23 ultra owners like me
Sames
I have the S23 Ultra and currently on the fence about upgrading. The slight curve on my S23 Ultra looks more aesthetic imo, and there isn't much improvement in terms of camera on the S24 Ultra. I also always use a case, so the titanium finish isn't a must. However, that anti-reflection and brighter screen does look tempting.
Agreed, if anything I like the curved screen, I use the edge lighting for colour coding of certain notifications (can do it in modes and routines btw pretty cool) with a curved screen it's much easier to see, I think I'd find that at my job which is phone heavy (literally I repair phones for a living) it's more convenient than a flat screen display
How is the camera
7 years of support is what am i thinking but also will probably wait 3 more years and buy the s series than. As S23U is pefect phone in all aspects
Do it it's snappier, 4 more gigs of ram really shows, I can feel the difference
How is the vibration on the s24u? Dont like the s23u. After that i tried a pixel .. do you think with one ui 6.1 s23u will swap the cam in 4k res video?
Love my 23 Ultra..keeping it
Don't trust ANY REVIEW that doesn't discuss the washed out display. I just got my S24U, looks as crappy as the motorola xoom tablet i had. natural/vivid color setting does nothing. looks like the s24+ and s24 having the same issue, and since the display glass is different, it cant be that, must be a bug. as it is right now, looks washed out / really bad. the display overall is nice, so much for the anti reflective when you add on a glass cover, lol. But they have to fix the color wash out, it looks terrible. Red looks the worst, looks like a washed out fuschia. Keeping my S20 and returning this back to tmo if they don't fix it and even acknowledge and provide an ETA for a fix, they've got like 13 days left...
The sad part is that S23 Ultra looks far better from front. It looks like upgrade to s24 Ultra not the opposite
I've been rockin' with the Fold 3 for a couple years. The 24u feels likethe phone finally worth swaping back to a non-foldable
@SuperSaf can you do a comparison of s22 ultra and s24 ultra and should one upgrade to s24 ultra or hold on for the next ultra?
Amazing content and video comprision as always bro
Great. I was worried that my concert camera was going to be downgraded. My S23 Ultra pics blew my friend's iPhone pics out of the water at every show we went to last year. I had to send her all of my pictures. So satisfying. 😂
I just wanted to let you know since im a concert goer too, make sure to disable the zoom mic at concerts if you film. It will give you better sound quality.
@@e5m956 Thanks for the tip. I will try that and see what sounds better at each show.
I was considering upgrading because the battery doesn't quit give me 2.5 days like it used to, now it's closer to just a tad under 2 days. This just doesn't seem like enough change. I'm not a professional photographer, so the s23U camera is more than sufficient for 99% of people. All the software updates on the 24 are already coming to the 23, so the AI and translation is coming in the next 30-60 days. The screen on the S23 Ultra doesn't scratch, no matter what anyone says. You would literally have to try and purposely scratch it. I got mine on launch and it doesn't leave my side, it's been to the beach and sand, pools, theme parks, my pocket which admittedly has been with keys a few times, and it comes out with me for yard work and gardening. It still looks like a brand new phone. I think I'll wait for August to see what the Fold 6 looks like as it's supposed to be a complete redesign.
09:06- did you try using the "camera assistant" app to disable low light camera switching, to confirm which camera was being used in the low light 10x zoom on the 23 ultra?
Supersaf style Love from india 🇮🇳
I feel like reviewers are getting confused. Not Saf but others. They say the phone gets hot, and shouldnt because of the new vapor chamber.
The whole idea of a vapor chamber, much like a heatsink is to get the heat from the chipset and out of the phone.
How will it get out of the phone?
By making the surface temperature hotter and disapating. The bigger vapor chamber means its better at doing this.
The worst phones are those that dont transfer the heat to the surface well. So it builds up inside and the device has to drop screen brightness and performance. But its cool to the touch.
Yeah thay just think the heat will disappear inside the phone lol
Like magic 🤣🤣@@JohnSmith-ef8nr
Hi! This is what I know and experience: you can't confuse the S24 Ultra with the S23 Ultra even in the dark, because they are quite different shaped phones, the S23 Ultra has round back and front glass panels, the cameras don't all have a metal border, the frame is different, while the S24 Ultra has the back - and the front glass panels are flat, the cameras all have metal rings around them and the frame has a completely different shape, even if the room is dark, you can tell by touch. Samsung Ultra, like all other phones, must be consistently the same, that's what distinguishes them from others, whether it's Android or Apple iOS phones, and that's what's important. If you constantly change the shape of the phone, then they are no longer the same phones, but rather new phones. So it must be and fortunately can be Galaxy Ultra and or iphone 15 Pro Max and or for example Xperia 1 series are similar, only with small changes, but the shape and models are the same, they should not be changed in such a way that it is no longer possible to understand what kind of phone it is actually it is. The newer iPhone Pro series got a lot of changes, as did the Galaxy Ultra, but luckily they still looked the same as always, so you can easily tell which model it is. Thank you!
Ordered in Titanium Grey 💪...7 years of updates is awesome, One UI is awesome , the screen is practically bezeless which is crazy...and this is coming from someone using Huawei devices for the last 10 years...I got a great deal from my mobile operator on a plan, 1130 euro for the 512Gb/12Gbram + Xiaomi watch 3 (included, it's usually 80 euros)...and the plan is sweet too, 20 euros/month unlimited 4-5g, calls and sms in the entire EU...I feel like it's a steal 👍
6:58 One of the reasons why Samsung went from 10x to 5x zoom isn't because of quality, it's because of Apple chosing to do it. If Apple start putting grape smell in their phones, Samsung would mock them and do the very same thing in their devices. They have even started copying color shades from them, from removing charger to headphones jack to putting flat displays on phones they are closely following Apple so that they can stop losing to Apple in their own Korean market. This is a good strategy since someone who's used to iPhones or considering them will feel similar vibes from Samsung devices. Look at Samsung aggresively promoting their Ultra phones knowing that the other siblings just fall apart in terms of performance especially the Exynos version.
Plus, Samsung used the titanium material as Apple did.
I actually like the zoom change. Indoors 10x was basically useless as it zoomed in way to much. 5x is a much better middle ground for many scenarios.
@@Mandeepsinghmakker Tbf as far as their watches, Samsung has been using Titanium since the Watch5 Pro in 2022. But for the Raw Titanium color way on the s24u, yea it is almost a carbon copy, but honestly I do think the shade with Samsung looks better than Apple, but I did pre order the Violet Titanium for my s24u bc I felt like the Raw Titanium color way feels like a copycat & the Violet looks more original & unique at least imo.
@gavinderulo12 I compared the 10x zoom in store between my s23 ultra and the s24 ultra and actually preferred the s24 ultras photo every time. Slightly less detail but much brighter and cleaner picture
@goldnovaelite samsung used to have flat displays so how are they copying Apple with that feature?
got mine today. upgraded from the s23 ultra because it just makes more sense in my case to upgrade now while the trade ins and all preorder offers are available so i got mine for 670. The more i wait the less money i can get when reselling and i don't see myself paying over 1500 at once. Yes the changes are subtles but enough to make me happy with my new phone. Love the flat screen, that 5x portrait , the fact that we now can switch lenses while shooting at 4k 60. Have yet to try the AI features
Same exact reason for me as well. With all the stacked offers for pre-orders with trade-ins, this is the highest I will ever get and free accessories too
So you paid £670 after trade in on contract on simfree?
@DearestMina only 3 free gift plus the £50 extra discount has expired
If you got a watch or the buds it's worth it. But 600 for a marginal upgrade, nah.
Pre orders are good deals, true, but I disagree that the more you wait the less value is your device, back in September 2023 there was a great deal on the S23 Ultra, I traded in a S21 ultra and received a $750 credit, I only paid $415 so even with the supposedly great deals if I trade in my S23 Ultra I'd end up paying $738 to get the new device. Sometimes is just best to wait.
In the night shot i think you have not disabled the auto lens switching in camera app as a result of which the10x and 5x zoom of s23 ultra is a crop of the 200mp sensor ..due to which we can see the stark difference in quality between the two .
I just today did a low light comparison of my s22ultra with the s24 ultra at 9.7 x and 5x and 10x and the results were very close ....
Watching this on my S20 FE device, coming to 3 years already. Still going strong, the battery as always starts to show its age. As much as i want to upgrade or even trade up my device, i think i wouldn't due to the fact that all the flagship phones doesn't come with a SD Card expansion (which is a factor). Could say i could opt for the 1TB variant of the device, shall see how it goes. But i would definitely wouldn't trade in my device for sure. Nice comparison video tho.
That's still a great phone. Apart from the sd card, the S21 fe is better. If you can find a 256gb S23 fe at a good price, go for it.
the new samsung s24 ultra display is so pure but samsung not even promoting it...
becuase it is flawed...
I'm not going to believe in 7 years upgrade until I'll see it. And I hope it won't lag as hell after 3-4.
The aging Samsung phone lag issue is over for the most part. This is coming from someone who had an S6 that was barely running after 4.5 years and has been using a Note 10+ since August 2019 with very minor/rare hiccups here and there. My main concern is how obsolete the camera hardware will be after just 2-3 years; that's really the only reason to upgrade these days (in my opinion).
@@richardsalaverria9363My S3 lags like hell and battery only lasts 20 minutes now!
Have you got the link for uk customers?
Do you have a discount link for UK?
S23 Ultra has a better zoom. Shame that samsung downgraded in this phone. Gonna wait for the s25 ultra, hopefully the 10x optical zoom comes back
If it comes back as variable optical zoom in the S25 Ultra, game over.
Its not downgraded
7:56 zooming both device at 30× or 100× its still enough clear to see ghosts 👻 in the house.
Excellent comparison mate.🖤
😂👍🏽

Was thinking about upgrading from my Flip 3 to the 24U. But I am waiting to see how good the Flip/ Fold 6 will be.
But I gotta admit, that S24 looks sexy as hell, I might get a bit impatient and buy it before summer 😂
Discount link/code within samsung are not working, do they expire maybe ? =/
Watching proudly on the S22 ultra..
ive had the s20 for 3 years now, i think its time for a upgrade and s24 ultra looks lovely😍❤
The camera are a big improvement you will notice.
Now that's a good upgrade! Enjoy!
I'm in same boat. Get mine Friday..
Let's be honest here, within the same brand, updates between each year have become so incrementally that most people shouldn't really need to consider upgrading to the newer model, if they aren't hell bent with having the latest and greatest. Considering alot of companies are provided support for phones for longer now, people will general hold on to their phones for longer.
Really can't justify dropping all that $$$ for a newer phone when the newer phone is not that much different from the previous year model and can do pretty much everything the newer phone can do, albeit, slightly slower.
There's really only meaningful upgrade/updates every 2 years or more now, unless people look at different brands.
Still a nice video and always nice to know about the small nuance changes like the display, software, and cameras which can sometimes be missed in other reviews.
Nice content but you kept switching the devices left and right, like sometime s24 is on the left and sometimes on the right so it was confusing at times 😅
For me it's a yes and I'm using s23 ultra right now. First, the titatinum frame which is far more durable and the gorilla glass armor that has the anti reflective coating paired with 2600 peak brightness so taking pics/vids and just general viewing, this is an underrated feature that doesn't get talked about enough. Ltpo 4.0 now on the amoled panel, The 5x lens which can now shoot portrait shots, has a larger sensor, aperture and higher pixel count means it would be better in lowlight than the 10x optical before which was noisy at night and over exposed during the day, can't take portrait shots and can't take 8k but the 5x can. Better audio quality when recording videos, 4k120 slowmo finally we got slowmo in 4k!! Better image signal processor which provides better overall image processing. Saturation has been trimmed down as well. Screen protectors are now less expensive thanks to the flat display not to mention its easier to edit photos/videos now because of it. The ai features like call translate and ai editing features for photos. The faster read and write speed, better gaming, more efficient battery. Dual recording which let's you record 2 back cameras at the same time before it was just the directors view which let's you record two cams at the same time but only the front cam and back cam can record simultaneously now you can do both back cams. And the camera switching with 4k60 front and back cams is amazing!! Shutter lag is now gone as well. So to me, it's a yes. When you add up all these minor upgrades it results into a major one. People only say it's not worth the upgrade because their not a power user or they think an upgrade is only present when the look of the phone suddenly becomes different.
Whatever excuses you want to make to convince yourself into buying the newer model then thats fine.
You don’t need to upgrade if you have an s23 already ,it is a waste of money if you do that ,the differences are margin and not enough to upgrade
Yawn
I feel like the AI software and other software stuff will be available on the previous devices with a simple software update. Those being the bigger deal to me, I don't see the point in upgrading from the S23 right now.
Good concise list this, but with one serious error. Multiple unbiased tests have shown that 'shutter lag' is still an issue. Many reviewers do not mention this, as to do so could result in them not receiving any more pre release test units from Samsung. The 5x zoom is very good between 5-10x, but after this it can look a little too contrasty and even border line cartoon like at @25x. The old 10x zoom is superior at higher than 15x magnification. Multiple people are hoping that the first software update can rectify dull washed out colours in some photos, as well as a strange pale softness in others. Also, 3D Mark has stress tested the 24U and found it has severe stability issues under heavy load(49%). The Exynos 2400 did better at 62%, but the 23 Ultra returned 80%. I predict a flood of unhappy complaining gamers when the S24 Ultra goes on sale. Samsung has fitted enlarged cooling chambers for a reason. They know the 8Gen3 has potential thermal weaknesses. This is the reason it will throttle in gaming also.
7:47 I'm sorry the S23 Ultra is just better in the further zoom ranges
Nope, its better on S24 Ultra, look on the water, the S23 Ultra is too contrast and too soft, meanwhile S24 Ultra remain natural and detail. Also look on 2nd wave, u can see water texture on S24 Ultra.
@@stevin2204 I'm talking more about 30x and 100x
@@anonymoushuman_rh on 30x and 100x, honestly i can just see different on colour, nothing perceptible to me. I have watched it on monitor.
@@stevin2204 S23 Ultra has a noticeable amount of more detail
@@anonymoushuman_rh I cant say more detailed, becuz the noise is too much, also in S24 there are softening the image that will make less detail, S23 have that option too, if S23 do the smoothing, it will be the same, that why...
Another release is here, and I still don't really need to upgrade to it from my note 20 ultra ❤😊
Thanks for the great comparison and review Saf.
I also have a note 20 ultra 5g and the camera was trash from day one! Blurry pictures! Apart from that horrible camere the phone is superb, not even a problem
@@urc24b I don't take many pictures but every time my friend uses it he hates it and claims his note 10 pics do not distort like mine 🤷 overall still a great phone. I use performance mode most of the time and its snappy. The only thing missing for me is 120hz at highest resolution.
On the S21 Ultra now but reckon I'll be upgrading to the S24 Ultra this year! Just waiting for some of those better value second hand ones to hit the market
I just did that today. The quality of the video playback for all apps and saved videos is better on the S21Ultra 😢
Why is there a ghost in the house?
Hmmm at first when i compared both, i found the s23 ultra to be more vibrant. But there was a hidden setting where you can adjust the color tone on the s24 ultra. It was set to on. As soon as i turned it off it became more vibrant. Grant you this was in store, still waiting on my s24 ultra to ship. Ill try it out at home!
What hidden setting?
@DJ118USMC it's not really hidden, it's in the display settings. Under color tone. The s23 ultra doesn't have it.
@sweedishpie360 I played around with it at the store and didn't find that? It sucks because I wanted this phone but because of the color dullness compared to my s22 ultra I don't want it
@@TheEternalEast was adjust color tone set to off in the settings?
@@sweedishpie360 yea it was off
The video i look forward to the most, is the S24 plus vs S24 Ultra
yo I bought an s22 ultra lst month, after I updated it to the newest one UI 6 update, the whole screen when white and the service team in srilanka is very bad so what do I do now?
