S22U to S23U upgrade was much bigger than S23U to S24U.
Yeah, but from even the S22 series, its a massive upgrade, especially with the 7 years of software upgrades and better SoC.
S23U to S24U is more of a refinement.
@@Rivs5117 That's true. But from even the S22U, it's surprisingly huge.
@@cameronbosch1213 Most definitely!! I had the S22U now I have the S24U and it’s a significant upgrade.
@@Rivs5117Refinement is the laziest word out there. Whatever happened to progression.
People need to understand the target audience for S24u isn't ones who already owns S23U. It's easy to calling S24u a lazy upgrade when you dont participate in the development process
Well I have the S23 Ultra and I pre-ordered the S24 Ultra I got it yesterday and it looks great I love upgrading to the latest and greatest every year 😁
Samsung is crap. They still didn't fix blurred photos of moving objects.
Scums won’t say a word when Apple pushes the same phone every year
@@baylor3894same
@@damianwojcikiewicz3951 Every phone has blurred photos of moving objects. That’s why every company wants Google’s camera software so they can market that unblur feature.
This man is explaining about so much in detail that s pen is sticking out in which other youtubers fail
I'm upgrading this year from an S20 plus after the most recent update probably broke my screen with a green line. I was torn between the S23U, fhe S24U snd the Pixel 8 Pro so this video really helped me lock down my decision to get the S23U. Thanks!
Exactly same situation for me!
Why 23u and not 24u?
I am in a similar situation. However, on the Samsung website, the prices of the 23u and 24u are similar. I might as well get the latest one
@@tapiwabesa8944 If you go by store, you'll get huge discounts on samsung s23 ultra. The price difference is not worth the upgrade from s23U to S24U. But if you can spend extra to get the latest version, you may go for it. Coz it's essentially the same phone, except the flat screen and the improved screen.
Same. Changed from S20plus to S23U and it was a game changer.
The most honest review with lots of important details! Thanks!
Thank you!! I appreciate your time
I love ur honest reviews am from India love u brother@@MatthewMoniz
I like that the S Pen sticks out a little more, and it is easier to get it out, especially with a case.
I don't i find it pops out when you dont want it and gets caught sometimes when placing it in pocket.
its spring loaded, you tap it in and it pops out.
I saw a comment that the regular S24 and S24+ have less vibrant colors too. So I'm hoping it is partly just a software glitch because neither of those 2 models have the anti-reflective screen.
True
For what it's worth I've heard a theory about that is they did it on purpose because some negative criticism on Samsung displays and pictures are they look a little cartoonish so Samsung toned it down a bit. Have no idea if that's true but that's what I heard
It's not a bug! Dude's just turn off "EYE COMFORT SHIELD"...
People are complaining about the screen because they are use to over saturated displays for the past years. The s24 display looks great to me. More natural. It's a case of conditioning. You become accustomed to the over saturated colors and then when you see something different you take it as "bad", not as good, etc
When I jumped from Galaxy note 9 to S21 Ultra, I swiched the colors to natural and it seemed to me very bad, because I was used to oversaturated colors of Note 9. After a while I looked to the Note 9 and my eyes feel like hurting. Always new technology is better than the old one. Samsung's screen always have been on top, they still are, so the galaxy S24 Ultra has better colors, because is closer to natural colors and is more comfort for the eyes. I wish I could afford the Galaxy S24 Ultra just for the screen, because always my priority when choosing a new phone has been the screen quality.
Thank you for the caveat at the beginning about not missing out by not upgrading to the newest phone. So many videos are created in such a way as to create anxiety in people about their current phone and wanting the new one, especially younger people. I hate that about some tech reviews. So it's nice to hear an influential reviewer say something different and a little more sensible.
Stainless steel on the previous iPhone is way heavier than aluminum and also heavier than titanium, so apple moving from stainless steel to titanium is gonna have a significant difference in weight than Samsung moving from aluminum to titanium.
Also worth noting titanium is two-thirds heavier than aluminum
I was surprised how light the S24U feels in person. It looks like it should be heavier than it is.
One of the best and honest reviews..i follow you some years now.i respect you more with this review cause i have personal experience and you prove honest
Samsung developers are aware of the problem with vivid mode/dull colors and are working on a fix. It is a software problem. (read it on the Samsung forum)
Yup the colour profile changing is a problem. But the s23 ultra will always look more vibrant regardless of the fix. You cant change a material embedded in the glass to reduce reflections
You have link to that Samsung forum?
👎👎👎🚩🚩🚩
you had me at the start of the video bro!!! love the honesty .
Thank you on being straight forward and to the point really enjoyed watching your video was very informative.
hands down THE best and most HONEST comparison review yet! I feel like the TOP tech TH-camrs are now a SELL OUT pushing the new S24U and not showing any honest downsides of the phone including MKBHD and WhosMrBoss!
I sold off my S22U to prep up n buy the S24u I'm glad it wasn't available till now on prebooking! I moved to Iphone 15pro max for the time being! and as a major content consumer like YT, Netflix and Twitch on my phone I HATED Iphones display and dull colors! literally ZERO vibrancy, so I decided to move back to Samsung n planned to buy S24u NOT until I saw this review about the new Armor glass and how it kills vibrancy, this is a MAJOR deal for me to have good colors which is why I missed Super amoled! Now I will be switching back to S23U and saving some money!
AGIAN THANK YOU for this Honest review! @Matthew
good luck not much cheaper then 24
Great video, Matthew. Your review/ compare and contrast approach was well executed, honest, and enjoyable. I had to sub! Keep up the outstanding work, brother!
Owning an S23 Ultra, all the hype did make me feel like I should upgrade. Your reassurance that the upgrade isn't major is helpful.
Lol there is a bigger upgrade than you think. Watch other videos
@@icentuche90 Nah fam. Matt is the best in the biz
@@icentuche90 if samsung releases its AI on previous model, yeah upgrade is not necessary. the hardware improvement is not that much other than the screen glare reduction
The s24 ultra has a built-in artificial intelligence technology, offering a wide range of great features, which makes it a big upgrade attraction from the s23 ultra.
@@Sophia-bq2spSamsung already confirmed it will be rolling out the AI on all 2023 models. It’s just software nothing else.

Awesome content and video comprision as always Sir
I'll stick to my s23 ultra.. Maybe next year..
Oh that's interesting that the screen does changing switching from vivid to natural. Do the phones look the same in natural because I rock natural on my s23 ultra. It's interesting because alot of reviewers think its the new coating but that demonstration you did moving the reds up and down make it look like a software bug. Keeping my s23 ultra I'm so curious because I like to keep up in the phone world
For anybody that's thinking about the S24 Ultra, there is a display issue going on. It's dull and looks washed out. I just got mine yesterday and i upgraded from the S21 Ultra and the S21 ultra screen looked a million times better! There's speculation there is an "update" coming Jan 31st but we'll see. I'll hold off on getting the 24U until it's fixed because it's depressing looking at the screen at times when my 21U looks flawless! If they don't fix this issue, I'll be getting the 23U also
Hey bro. Your comment stands out most to me because i also have a s21 ultra an ive been debating on upgrading. Please let me know if there's any better changes on the update for s24 ultra against the s21 ultra. Thankyou 🙏
@kennethnguyen3645 fa sho, I got u! Yeah, right now I'm just waiting on this update and if they don't fix it before my Verizon return window is up, I'll come come back and let you know that I went with the S23U instead 😂
Excellent video. Most honest and genuine analysis. Wanna know what a s23u user thinks about s24u after using both and this is perfect review video of it. Thanks mate.
04:30 the vivid mode is bugged. I got my s24+ yesterday, and immediately noticed the colors werent as vivid as my s22+. Samsung is aware and working on releasing a fix by Feb. Very disappointing when I first noticed it. Hopefully the fix comes sooner!
this is a well-informative amazing video. I think I'm just gonna get myself the S23u, since its on discount now. I've been watching your videos for a long time now, Matthew, You're the reason why I got my dream laptop, Acer Predator Helios 300, 4 years ago. Thank you so much, keep up the great content! ❤😊😊
The S23U is still the best phone on the planet right now.
@@mentlinc the anti reflective coating on s24u is a deal breaker for me, so yes, s23u is the best!
My last ultra was a 22 ultra and I’m leaving the fold 4. This is a great upgrade for me. I stoped doing year after year upgrades about 6 years ago.
Thanks for reminding me that money is important. I think 26U would be the sweet spot for S23 upgrade, i just want an obvious upgrade to the camera sensors.
There's an issue with the Vivid mode in the display settings. it's the same for the S24 plus. Samsung are working on a fix.
Yup, that's correct. I mentioned this. The only thing that wont change is on the ultra because it's using an anti reflective coating so it will always look less vibrant than the s23 ultra
@@MatthewMoniz yes but you won't know how much different it will look until the vivid setting is fixed.
@@MatthewMoniz Unsure, The Galaxy Book4 Ultra is using new DX glass that boasts similar antireflective coating while also boosting contrast - over the Book3 Ultra with no coating. I thought they were using the same glass tech for S24 Ultra display, so it should be better than what its showing. Guess we have to wait and see, kind of a bad issue to launch with.
the 'upgrade' comes with a $200 price increase in Canada... also, i dont use a case w my s23u, so size and weight is not an issue
Good luck paying out the nose for a screen replacement then! 😂
caseless gang
You're one of the only ones mentioning the dullnes of the display. Kudos to you as It's a real problem, and the very fist thing we've all noticed buying this phone at day one. Some are saying It's a bug (since vivid and natural settings are looking to be the same), hopefully a software update will fix that...
Its honestly not a big problem. None of the displays are actually "dull" as people keep mentioning you just can't adjust the warmth/saturation under the display settings. THe only real difference is the Anti-reflective coating on the S24 Ultra vs the S23 Ultra, which does not have one. No matter what software updates happen, the S23 Ultra will always look more vibrant. It's just like having a matte screen v. not having one.
Great device from Samsung. Thanks for the video.
@@MatthewMoniz It's not the coating, the base models have the same problems without coating. Also, check the difference between vivid and natural settings. Both look exactly the same
s24 and s24+ do not have the anti-reflective coating. Only the S4 Ultra. I have all 3 phones here. @@raffaelerusso82
Thanks for watching Gaith!@@GA0764
Good video, good work, thanks to you.
Mattew is S24U better then Huawei Pixel8 pro, Mate 60, Oppo X7 or Vivo x100 if you had in tests those?
I don't know in terms of camera I mostly prefer the s23 ultra some photo in s24 not enough exposure. The video as well looks quite blurry or noisy in s24 ultra compare to s23 ultra.... is it just me ?
Love your videos, new subscriber
I actually like the fact that the spen sticks out a little makes it easier to get the spen out. At least to me I’ve used the s22u, s23u, and now the s24u along with the pixel 8 pro.
The color reproduction of the display is a software issue not something of the anti-reflecting coating. Some guy on TH-cam tested out all of the s24 and all of them had the same issue.
Samsung also said they are working on a software fix.
If I'm not mistaken. The S-24 doesn't even have the anti-reflecting coating, and it's still having the vivid display issue. I'm I correct on that?
Yes it is a UI bug. I compared both S24U and S23U side by side on 4k video and the color reproduction is exactly the same on both. People are freaking out for no reason.
NEED that wallpaper you got there on s23 ultra
+1
The screen issue with vibrance is fixed if you turn off eye comfort shield. Im sure an update will be pushed soon.
It's still not a noticeable difference
omg I'm so happy I found your review!!! I still have the note 10+ and have been dying to get a new phone. I figured I'd just wait until the S24 came out to decide. pending the price difference... I might just go with the S23U instead 🤷🏼♀️
The s24 ultra hasnt got any updates yet once it starts getting updates it will improve on alot of things like battery and camera
Every time I look to bloggers, they always say upgrades are very minor) never like - there are huge changes. Well hello, it’s always like this and will be… due to business model (manufacturers must issues yearly) but this time the upgrade is definitely worth it ❤
@matthewmoniz when you trying to change the display profile from vivid to natural and it's not changing, it's probably due to the fact that you have eye comfort mode on. It won't allow you to adjust it if that's on or even if display tone is on. Try disabling those first
Samsung has confirmed it is a bug. Maybe it is not, and they will simply retune it to give users back a more vivid display.
Matthew your content is excellent!! Always excellent in depth reviews!!
Continued success, health and happiness to you!!
Thanks I appreciate it!! Hope you're doing well
Ive got an s20 fe and s20 ultra and am deciding which to get 23u or 24u?
Love his review. Very honest considering both phones
Can you please make comparison of s24 and pixel 8.
Love your videos.
Thank you.
Great video! I have a 23ultra now and this really helped. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
The lack of vibrancy isn't from the anti-reflective display. It's a software issue in which vivid mode is broken, to be fixed in a future update. The same issue applies to the S24+ and base S24.
Can i say i actually prefer a single camera module rather than singular ones as on galaxy now.
Could you do a review on the s24+ ?
I believe that model is very underrated, but its got some cool features
Thanks for sayimg s23 ultra are not missing much. I've been trying to figure out if I should switch or wait for the s25 ultra....
My first Samsung phone I'd say that HDR photos in gallery looks sweet
Love u sir..litteraly u r a true youtuber...and thanks a lot for your suggestion not to upgrade bcz i was a bit in a hurry to upgrade from my s23u to s24u..but money matters as u said..love u sir ..stay blessed...❤❤❤..love from india❤
I did get the 512g Black S24 Ultra.
However, I did notice that in my Gallery on my S22 Ultra, you can click on the Eye Icon in the top right & it will search the image just like "Circle to Search."
I had no idea... Not that I use AI or care about it..
But, I've been waiting on that Flat Display since the Note 10+.
I also like that the S24 Ultra will pair it's Camera's to any Samsung Tablet.. Kinda Cool, for webcam stuff.
Very good comparison, thx.
You’re very welcome!
Perfect review👌
I upgraded from my S22U to the S24U because I cared about the flat panel and the longer software updates, and felt that I was getting a solid trade in value before my old device would depreciate further. But honestly, now that I have the S24 Ultra, the differences are so small even from 2 generations. If you’re on the fence about upgrading from an S22 Ultra and don’t care about flat vs curved edges, my advice is to just save the money and use the S22 Ultra until it no longer gets software updates.
I upgraded to the S23-Ultra from a Note 10 Plus & it was a huge upgrade.
I try to upgrade my phone every 2 to 3 years so I can get the most bang for my buck & technology bc year to year upgrading is a waste of money IMO & the upgrades are really minimal.
So I'll have my S23-Ultra probably until year 2025 or 2026 if Samsung is still making Notes or phones with the S-Pen.
I'm a user of the S-Pen every day, so it's an important part of my phone.
I use the S-Pen the most when I'm taking pictures using it as the shutter button & most people are amazed at that feature.
My daughter has an iPhone & I've given her a little more battery life by using the reverse wireless charging feature & she's upset that she doesn't have that feature on her phone. LOL . . .
i am using note 9 now😂. which phone btwn s23ultra or s24ultra should i get? s23ultra got slightly lower price, but s24ultra with double storage & free buds 2 pro and $$ rebate for pre order.
If blacks don’t look pure black on this phone as an OLED should look I see this as a huge fail. Also, the vibrancy of the note/ultra display is one of the key selling points. People are saying the vibrant mode on the S24 is not doing anything either so let’s hope it’s a bug, because if it’s not I def won’t grab it. If it looks like an LCD they’ve defeated the purpose of the OLED panel.
It was aluminium before, which is lighter than titanium. They've cut weight in other areas
what If i have s21 ultra .. is it really really good upgrade or should I just hold on to my old phone
I mean if its working well and you have no problems I'd wait
Anyone know that wallpaper?
Wallpaper link for the s23u? Thanks..
2:34 - the S pen colour actually matches the colour of the side rails. My blue S24 Ultra has a black S pen, since the side rails are black. The violet S24 Ultra has a grey S pen since it has the grey side rails. The yellow S24 Ultra has a yellowish S pen
The curve didn't need to go imo. The boxy shape the Ultra goes for benefited from the round edges.
Ngl I prefer the flat surface but the curve on the s23 ultra wasn't as pronounced as other curved phones so it wasn't bad
well its not actually AI, they just put some automation on the things that can be manually done before and then called it AI
Thank you, Matthew, for an excellent, real review, and highlighting the differences. Most reviewers are like excited kids, who jump at the slightest changes or upgrades. Like the screen for example, many would prefer the punchy glossy looks of the s23 instead of the dull matt S24. Each to their needs. Whichever your happy with. Its ok.
My pleasure thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for information and explained everything. I already bought s23 ultra not long ago and s24 ultra came out already so I'm a bit confuse should I switch it or not. But liten your advice, I won't change it cause s23 ultra did everything and battery was beast! Thanks again, buddy.
I'm torn between the two s23u and s24u... which one is the best deal to purchase!?😢
Do an S24+ vs S23+ one too pls!
I think this is a massive upgrade even from the S22 Ultra. The SoC change which gives better battery life, the better upgrade policy, and no longer having glued in batteries are enough for me to upgrade.
can you tell the signicant of each of the things you stated?
I waited for this year S24 Ultra but times are hard, so now do I buy the S23 Ultra or the S24+ 512G
Link to your wallpapers please
It has been ages since I watched your video.. Holy cow did you lose weights and become fitter!
The weight difference is minimal cause they went from aluminum to titanium.
I read somewhere that the only older phone that will be receiving AI features in the S range is the s23 Ultra.
Hey it would have been more great if you could add in the chapters in the video😊
Talking about this video I feel this gave a much more honest real life impression.
If we watch MKBHD or Mr who's the boss or most of the other established users, they are such enthusiasts that some of these minor things actually makes them feel it's such a significant upgrade.. that's the general impression we get after watching their S24 Ultra..
An S23 Ultra use it started to affect me lol😂.. then my best friend who was looking to purchase a new phone I persuaded him to buy an S24 Ultra.. I have been spending a lot if time with it, its a great phone.. but the real differences with S23ULTRA is very minor. An all day gamer might feel a bit more difference cuz the extra power in sd gen 3 would useful in his game.
Apart from the flat screen everything is very similar.
I really hope that I could stick with S23 until 2026
Very helpful and thorough deep dive between the 2 phones. Thankyou. Like please like stop like unnecessarily like saying like the word "like" so much.
In general, the innovation pace is slowed/stagnated. This is why we kept seeing incremental updates especially from Apple. When it comes to samsung, people used to see samsung pushing the limits of innovation in almost every new phone model. It seems samsung changed this strategy and started focusing on perfecting whats actually working. The drawbacks of this strategy is that it leaves no place for real innovation
well part of the issue is that phones reached a design/aesthetic peak years ago. for the most part, most big phone companies essentially landed on their trademark designs and all that's left is small, incremental updates. there's not all that much remaining that can be improved in terms of design/screen at least for the big flagships.
what about color saturation that dont work and Dead pixels and green lines on white screen IS IT REAL COS LOT OF PPL ALL TELL ABOUT IT AND REGRET THAT BUY S24 ULTRA THAT PLEASE TELL PLEASE.!!!!!??
What game is that at 6:09
The S23 Ultra is noticeably better at zooms and videos.
Sir note24 ultra chiya orignal copy ...mil jay ga
I have the samsung s22 ultra is the s24 ultra worth it front camera wise?
It's worth in general(especially if you have the Exynos version), not by a camera standpoint, if you want the latest and greatest. S23U was a great upgrade from S22U, and It's still holding It's own, that's why It's difficult to suggest to switch from 23 to 24
I don't think the upgrade is minor at all. Different design, faster/more powerful, Ai features for while untiil the update. Which could take some time.
The new AI is due on the S23U with OneUi 6.1, so it could be by the end of Q1. The battery life and performance changes are nominal. For some, going from 10X to 5X is a downgrade; the other cameras are the same. 50% prefer curved displays, so for them, it is a downgrade.
Be aware of marketing; the S24U is a sideways upgrade, but it may be worthwhile if you can get a good deal.
we are in an era where phones already peaked, and its hard to really say which is the best, ... unless somebody puts a DLSR quality camera on a phone and can totally replace your professional cams, as in totally replaced not just in the eyes if a regular consumer but with professional photographers as well, then thats the flagship to beat! otherwise, right now we are just in the waiting game, ..
Thank you dude ❤
You're welcome!
Want to talk about a upgrade Thank about going from a Note 8 bought in 2018 to S24 Ultra 👀
Hi there
I have my Galaxy Note9 for 5 years and still works for me in gemeral activities.
But im gonna buy an new samsung phone and i expect my new phone works for me like my note 9 for years.
Between S24ultra and S23ultra which one is better for me consider in hardware in games and camera features and battery life and everything else you know that i need
Thanks for your useful video❤
The display colors will be corrected in an update next week, Samsung is aware that the vivid toggle isn’t functioning properly.
Great comparison
Thanks!
That vibrance is the software problem cuz it is the same thing on s24 and s24+ and these devices don't have anti reflective glass! Do your research! That is why the vibrant mode doesn't work
The S24 Ultra has a different material to reduce reflections. The S24 and S4 + do not. I have all three phones here. Yes, the screen mode settings is not working on all phones. That will be fixed in a software update but the S23 Ultra will always look more "vibrant" than the S24 Ultra since its not using an anti-reflective material. Do your research!
Very Nice review 👌 ❤❤
Thank you!
I have a s23 ultra and use performance profile light just because I don't use all that the power the SDgen2 offers. It's good for future proof but they give us more power but nothing to use it on. Guess they need some excuse for people to upgrade yearly. Think this phone will last me 3 years or until something really innovative comes out.
I have never used Samsung, I am Huawei user, but this year I would love to try Samsung, what do yoy recommend for me, the s23 or s24? I can't tell any huge differences between them 😅.
Still the OnePlus Open. S22U, S23U, S24U are very similar. Most of the AI tricks are just that tricks. Things most people will think are cool and then forget are there.
Im Holding on my s23 ultra ❤
Big problem it have a flat ass screen.. i mean look at OnePlus with their latest phones, or honor magic6, the screens are gorgeous, this.. just looks like a phone from years ago 🤷🏻
I was thinking of getting back to Samsung but now im way more hesitant
The front facing camera has much better colors for skin tone and the mic is miles better
How can you say that you didn't notice any difference, when your skin tone is clearly different?
