I realize it's not really worth it for most people, but I'm a phone nerd and I appreciate the refinements. Also the trade-in deal isn't half bad and I got a Watch 6 Classic for free apparently. Can't wait to receive it!
I've got s23 ultra which I live but also got o2 switch up and I can get new phone, galaxy watch 6 and cheaper deal which is mad so am off shop tomorrow to preorder
Need Help! I upgraded my S23 Ultra to S24, I still have both the phones. Keeping them side to side, all the settings same, my S23 Ultra's display looks more colorful and bright! I feel s23 is a better display. Should i be concerned or ask for replacement ?
I've got the S23 ultra and S24 ultra. Deciding if to keep the S24 or send it back. The only thing I don't like about it at the moment is the feel in hand of the S24 Ultra. It seems thicker to hold and a little less comfortable because of the high side frames and also wider in hand, so more painful to hold. That may be a deal breaker for me, not sure yet. The AI software stuff is irrelevant since the S23 will get all those features anyway.
I still love my s23u. I'm guessing that it will get a big update this year and have the AI software installed, so it will basically be the same as the s24u.

I personally don't think the upgrades are significant enough to go out and buy a new phone every year or every 2 or 3 years even, all the hype is kind of a joke really
i am keeping my S23U its an amazing phone and no matter how good they say the 5X is i love my optical 10X.i really dont think for me personally that the S24U is a worthwhile upgrade considering most, if not all the AI stuff is coming to the S23U on the 6.1 update so i will see what S25U brings
At 9:40 you claim the S24 Ultra looks better because the S23 is enhancing digitally even though at non super zoomed in size, it looks better overall on the S23. Yet at 11:21 you claim the S24 Ultra looks better but is doing the same digital enhancement of the S23 ultra LOL And at 10:15 come on now. You CANNOT be serious that the S24 Ultra looks better. It looks blurrier with more water color look on the plants and lacking any texture detail on the dolphin that the S23 Ultra preserves. On top of that, look at that horrible chromatic abberation on the white detail on the fin where the S23 looks perfectly white. You are trying way too hard to make the S24 win.
I went from a Note 10+ to S23U and really like the small curved display. I use edge panelling and one hand+ extensively so I honestly can't see how the flat display would suit me. I never have an issue using the S Pen with it either
I am a very contended S23 Ultra owner who will not be upgrading this year, but I just want to say to anyone planning to upgrade from 23U to 24U, I hope you REALLY enjoy your 24 Ultra!. Life is too short to not live it to the Max!. Samsung is on fire at the moment.
To be clear If you got the S23 ultra you don't really need to upgrade to the S24 ultra because there's really no clear upgrade to the S24 ultra aside titanium frame and 50mps 5x zoom including flat screen I love the Samsung Galaxy S23 ultra ❤️❤️🙌
Exactly what I was wanting to know before upgrading to the 24. Your reviews are so thorough, easy to follow, and just plain well done! Thank you for taking the time to break it down so completely! I didn't think I would watch it in it's entirety, but I ate up every second of it. Keep it up!
Actually I like S23U 10x better than S24 Ultra. It is 5 to 9x where S24U wins as far as camera goes. It doesn't seem worth an upgrade from S23U. S22U upgrade - sure.
I have the s23 ultra and the s24 ultra and the iphone 15 pro max.The samsung screen issues around the vividness are not an issue,the s24 ultra screen is fantastic.The REAL issue is the cameras on the samsungs,motion.Samsung its a joke.If you have kids or pets like i have then Samsung cannot take a motion photo its a mess.The iphone can do this.Fix the REAL issues samsung,moving objects.Iphone 15 pro max can do it well why cant my s23/24 ultras??I cannot take a good image of my daughter or my dog actually moving with the ultras and ive tried every setting.
I use a phone until it stops doing what I need. I like the 24, but I don't need it. Good video. It helped me decide the "upgrade" is not worth it for me.
I will point out that while looking at upgrading this week from my samsung s21 ultra I was going for the capable s23 ultra & save a few pennies, SHOCK! HORROR! the latest samsung S24 ultra was cheaper to get on contract than the S23 ultra by £6 a month in a certain shop I worked for years ago, & I also got staff discount for life because I was there over 25 years, then a bonus unlimited data for the the price of 10 gb data. I am in heaven, Just to add I also recieved a £2000 payment for a forgotten lost private pension so they sent it, all in the same month my old phone contract ran out. God wants me to have the Samsung S24 ultra.
I think S23 users don't have to upgrade but those who have older or cheaper phones like me with the Galaxy A52s and want to upgrade should do it because its a huge stepup due to being a flagship. Thats what i did but i'm still waiting for it to arrive. I ordered it from my provider for a fair affordable monthly price. But i like flat screens more because they are easier to use with the pen and better for applying screen protectors
I have been an android user for 7 years, and I'm definitely going to get the previous model the s23 ultra as my very first Samsung Galaxy smartphone device next month. I don't planning on upgrading to S24 Ultra if anything I'll wait until the S25 Ultra.
Compared to other reviewers, this comparison of S23U vs S24U is very beneficial. I learned what I needed to know to confirm that there is really no need to buy a new model this year, even though there are some visible improvements. The S23U is still a very capable phone. I'm curious to see the tweaks and improvements that next year's S25U will bring, and I'll decide accordingly if I'm already upgrading the phone. Thank you for this great and exhaustive comparison.
@@fatoumata7624 There is really no need for that salty response. At the time of writing, this video has 29K views, so - as far as many of us are concerned - the point made by @nip.pon172 is valid.
As a photographer I want to mention that the s24 ultra 10x is not the same as the s23x because you are just cropping so you are not getting the compression or blur of the optical 10x. You can see that on the beach shot you presented where the s24 shot has more dof thus less blurr on the background and is not doing the compression of the optical 10x Then again the 10x on the s23 wasn't a great one so the s24 may end up with the upper hand after cropping just exactly the same look from a true 10x optical
I have the same opinion as many users here. I don't think it is a needed upgrade but the changes that have been made as a refinement are worth the trade in deal. If I had to buy it at full price I wouldn't probably upgrade but seeing how good of deals Samsung has when trading your s23 ultra was to good to pass. 516$ total for the buds pro 2( got a second pair now) and the s24 ultra, with a 24 month financing,it was to good to pass for me. The less reflective screen, the better sound, the improve soc and also the new ltpo 4.0 tech, the shutter lag fixed are some of the things I feel are well worth the trade in. But really the thing that made me upgrade was the deals.
Sorry mate but when the S24U's AI features become paid subscription only the S24U will be just as good as the S23U. I ended up canceling my S24U order the day after I ordered it. I decided I'm not going to pay an extra 100 bucks just to get forced to pay again for features that go to a subscription. It's time to put our feet done in unison to say no to this mentality.
@@jmnero4447It's 2 years of free usage and then *maybe* it will be a monthly subscription, there's nothing specific about it that has been confirmed by samsung other than the fine print. Besides you don't have to pay it to use the rest of the phone so if you don't care about those features then it really doesn't matter anyway.
I could agree more and I was thinking of the same thing as well, since I'm getting the S23 ULTRA Next month I rather enjoy the previous model until the 25 ultra is announced in 2025.
I think both phones are phenomenal. I agree that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is obviously better but not so much better that I need to upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Both phones are still the absolute best phones money can buy.
I can say a few things that I consider a big disappointment. The most important thing is about the cameras. I am a nature lover and I take a lot of nature photos and videos. It would be great to take your phone with you when hiking instead of a bulky camera, but unfortunately that's still not the case. First, the ultra-wide-angle/macro camera. I take a lot of macro photos and yet we have a 12MP dinosaur while other brands offer 48MP macro photos that are unmatched in terms of macro quality. Why can't Samsung change this when 48MP macro is available on phones that cost half the price of Samsung??? Second, camera with 3x zoom - still 10MP??? Really? For several years, the competition has been able to fit 48 MP cameras with 3x zoom without a periscope mechanism. Why can't Samsung? Being able to take photos and clips with the same quality as the brilliant new 5x zoom camera would be amazing. On my 23 ultra, I sometimes take photos with 3x zoom, which then have to be cropped and enlarged a bit during editing, but then the quality loss is huge. Especially in darker scenes. Finally, the new 5x zoom camera seems brilliant and with digital help replaces the old 10x zoom, but again after all there is no improvement in zoom quality and you still often can't get close to animals without alerting them. Putting a 24-36MP sensor on a 10x optical zoom camera would be a game changer, but unfortunately that won't happen. The lack of improvement over the years in terms of telephoto is again a huge no. Other things like battery capacity, charging speed and most painful lack of an SD card slot - also a disappointment, but not as big as cameras setup. Kind regards.
Personally the s23 ultra is enough for me. It's the best phone Samsung has made in years without compromised bits thrown in. I actually have the regular s23 and daily that instead now. I can't bring myself to sell the ultra and will use that for things like the zoo and days out with the family. As for the s24 regular, Samsung yet again using exynos. They just can't help themselves can they!
@@leonwngbingkeat8067 I'm not just talking about the size. People don't appreciate the new s24 ultra it would be great to see how far it came in terms of speed, build, screen, cameras etc.
I honestly have no idea wtf he is on about when he says the 5x to 10x on the S24U obliterates the S23U. Dont even see the difference. Probably cuz I'm blind.
S23U owners: The S24U is a better phone in many respects, but not by so much that its worth upgrading. S22U owners: The S24U is obviously the better phone in every way, some features and processing speed improvements are worthwhile, but in the end it may still not be worth upgrading for most people. S21U or older owners. The S24U is a huge upgrade, worth upgrading for sure.
Nope 8k on s23 Ultra is better... s24 Ultra isn't as good and is just full of A.I. gimmicks 😂... some of which will be released on u.i. 6.1 on the s23 Ultra anyways ...... no need to upgrade 😮😂
I have used all the ultra and the biggest change was from s22 ultra to s23 ultra. s22 ultra was the biggest disappointment . and after just one week of use of s23 ultra I thought that for the first time samsung will have big difficulties to make better phone in one year. And the only noticeable difference is the AI that is smth that will be implemented even in s23 ultra. So for this time I will respect my s23 ultra and change next year
I have the 22Ultra and there's literally ZERO things I've heard this year and last that make me want to go out and spend. Phones have pretty much got to a point where they're running out of ideas.
Do you know if you can still use a custom launcher like Nova to hide the nav bar? I've been using Nova for the last 5 years and have been pretty happy. I'll try One UI for a day or two when getting a new phone and then end up switching to Nova when I start missing my gestures lol.
@@Sheepybish Obviously for telephone it's different, but as you are only a few feet away taking a portrait shot, 5X or 3X you may as well just move your feet.
The main issue I've seen in the S24 camera is the hdr in daytime with huge contrasts, like shade of a building and a wall enlighted by the sun Did you try it?
I prefer the flat screen. I have to say, you have gone more in-depth on the camera differences and improvements and I have to agree with you! I've got an S24 Ultra on pre-order and can't wait to get it! Thanks for a great review!
Currently still rocking my 5 year old Note 9 and still loving everything but the battery life. Considering upgrading to the S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra. I know either is going to be a dramatic improvement in many regards, but I'm torn as to whether or not the 24 is worth the price difference. It seems many say the 23 is better in some regards, particularly with the display and reception, 2 big points for me. Having a better camera is nice, but I've never found myself feeling like the photos on my Note 9 were lacking anything, so I couldn't justify going with the 24 over the 23 if that's really the main difference, especially if it means sacrificing in other aspects I actually care about. It really disappoints me that it's next to impossible to get a phone with an SD card slot anymore. I really like knowing my files are on a card that can be easily removed should my phone fail, and not having to rely on cloud storage. If I do upgrade to the 23 or 24, I'll definitely be keeping my Note 9 just so I can use Samsung Switch to quickly copy files from the new phone to my Note 9 and move them to an SD Card for quick backup. My question is this...can anyone sway me one way or the other between the S23 Ultra and the S24 Ultra, keeping in mind I'm coming from a Note 9, don't care *that* much about the camera, but *do* care about reception, display quality (particularly color accuracy), Battery Life, and overall reliability?
Really impressed with the refinements of the screen. The anti glare and brightness deserve more attention and I am loving the fully squared off design with the display being mostly flat.
Another superb upload. As a 23 Ultra user, the small upgrades on the 24 Ultra are excellent but not enough for me to go "wow". I'll probably hang on until the S26 appears.
Have you experienced the microphone's strength in terms of sensitivity to distant sounds and 3D feel compared to the S23? Does it give an ambient feeling, purity of sound, and great capture of distant sounds?
Call me crazy, but those 10x photos were clearly overall better from the S23U. Dynamic range is the only thing that seemed better from the 10x on the S24U. Other reviewers noticed that video at 10x and beyond come out more stable and clear from S23U, too. This is no surprise, given the S24U's reliance on digital zoom for those zoom levels.
funny fact - "new phone has titanium frame and old has metal frame" haha, both have metal frames s23 has aluminium metal frame and s24 has titanium metal frame, aluminium like titanium are both metals
I upgraded my Motorola phone to the s24 ultra and immediately had missed my moto. There wasnt hardly a noticable differense other then having a stylus. I had it for a day taking pictures and playing with the phone. Ultimately i missed the moto actions, chop flashlight and shake for the camera. I returned my s24 ultra and im happy to keep my Motorola. Im hoping they come out with a phone simulator to the fold. Im a Motorola phone user since the moto droid turbo. You can buy my phone from Amazon refurbished for less then $130 😂
From the pictures with the dolphins the s23 ultra looked better on the building with m the 23 ultra was better. I just bought the s24 ultra i noticed my s21 none ultra has a better display and from these videos I've seen the s24 ultra is not as these TH-camrs make it. But its still new hopefully the updates will fix the display and adjust the camera and I use the 100x zoom so for him to say who uses it? I do and its a feature that made the ultras for the moon shots. Anyways as a s24 ultra owner its not what these TH-camrs say display alone is not as good as previous models his own pictures show the 23 ultra looking better. Anyone that bought a s24 ultra and have a previous galaxy compare the displays yourself and see if you notice anything
Upgraded from s21 ultra to s24 ultra. Dont really care about the camera. Camera on s24u is enough for me. Flat screen is amazing. Battery life is not bad. Glad the spen is back. A higher quality spen would be good. Ai helps to rewrite emails professionally.. but sometimes makes mistakes.
I got the S23 Ultra and i will never understand why people switch there phones every year, the differences are so minimum! To me it's a waste of money to upgrade every year it's better to upgrade after 3-4 years, only than you will have a better phone!
100x on s24 ultra is terrible compared to my s23 ultra in long distance and short distance shots I zoomed in 40x on on a letter 12ft away and it was clear as day on s23 ultra the s24 ultra couldn't focus and came out blurry to my surprise having been advertised as taking clear and crisp photos and that's before the Ai takes over and enhances the picture after the Ai it comes out even worse...don't know if my phone is faulty but the camera is dog shit
I've had both got my 23 Ultra back rather it over the 24 Ultr don't like the titanium and the flat screen isn't really a viable option to upgrade from curved is still nice besides that cameras to me were the same battery the same so don't waste your money like I did I sold my 24 ultra and got my money back from
Right or Left?? You don't say which phone is which, and that makes all the effort worthless to an otherwise excellent video. 100 % necessary to know which one is which. I'm referring to the part of the video before you compare the cameras.
Not going to upgrade from my s23 ultra. The antiglare in s24 ultra is a downgrade for me, until this changes to clear screen with reflection and pure blacks, not buying another ultra. Like the flat screen though.
Может у автора проблема со зрением? Где он увидел "больше деталей" на середине ствола дерева у s24? Почему молчит о грязном и неестественном цвете моря? Автор, вы очень не объективны, или у вас очень плохое зрение, позор...
im using s23u, my 2 friends are using s24u and s22u.. i can wholeheartedly say for normal everyday use its not worth the upgrade.. even s22u is already overkill for normal daily use.
Your photo comparison is strange. Each one looks better and sharper on the S23 Ultra, while you say it's sharper on the S24. Did you mislabel the photos? Something is wrong here. You say that it is sharper on S24, but the one with the S23 Ultra signature is visibly sharper.
Yes Bro They Really Fix It With Updates Because Newly Launch iPhone 15 Series , S22 Series And S23 Series Also Has Worst Camera Quality But Afte Some Updates These All Phones Camera Quality Got Very Amazing So After Some Updates S24 Camera Quality Also Get Better Bro👍👍
never intended to upgrade from my s23 ultra but finally gave in. found it hard to part with my s23 ultra so traded in my s21 ultra from a few years back and got 550 euro off the s24 ultra. great video as usual . look foward to the next one 👍😊
Upgraded from the 23u to the 24u and notice a solid difference in upgrade features tbh. Screen brightness is way brighter, battery life is noticeably improved, phone runs noticeably cooler under app usage like IG, non edge screen is a very nice change I really like. 4k120fps is absolutely amazing in recording.
By the way, the DCI P3 color on the s24 screens has been reduced vs the s23 Ultra. I noticed it didn't "pop" nearly as much as the s23 Ultra. I saw a review out of China that showed the reduction in PCI D3. It has dropped to between 82 to 84 percent. RGB color gamut is still 100, but gosh, the screen feels less exciting to me on the s24 Ultra.
I do not understand why reviewers spend so much time about the camera on smartphones nowadays. It's almost as if you have a camera that's a smartphone rather than a smartphone that has a camera. There is so much more to a smart phone than the camera. Software experience, assistance with being more productive, watching videos, durability, etc. So much time is wasted on such a small component of a phone.
At this point i think the s24 ultra is a step down .. mine is coming tomorrow but i probably will go to the s24 plus. Save the 300. But what are the major differences? I know the s24 u has a anti glare screen does the plus have it
Yes! But, get a case & screen protector. The 1st drop test didn't go well! Failed it's 1st lowest Drop. "Same-Same but Different" Just google those words, my movie nerds will know... I like that it can pair it's Camera's to any Galaxy Tablet. Plus the non reflective display should be huge! $800 for my S22 Ultra is what my carrier offered me, so I grabbed the 512g Black S24 Ultra here in TX 🤟

If you got the watch you lost nothing with the trade and made a good decision even if you weren't a phone nerd

@two38382 I had the 21 ultra. For me it's a great upgrade for sure. I usually don't. Wait like 3 or 4 years before I upgrade
As a photographer I want to mention that the s24 ultra 10x is not the same as the s23x because you are just cropping so you are not getting the compression or blur of the optical 10x. You can see that on the beach shot you presented where the s24 shot has more dof thus less blurr on the background and is not doing the compression of the optical 10x
Then again the 10x on the s23 wasn't a great one so the s24 may end up with the upper hand after cropping just exactly the same look from a true 10x optical
Watched all 33.5 minutes! I appreciate all your hard work in putting this together. A much deserved liked and subscribed!
Nice camera review and much needed for us S23 Ultra aficienado's! Overall, great indepth review. Appreciate it so so much!
I have the same opinion as many users here. I don't think it is a needed upgrade but the changes that have been made as a refinement are worth the trade in deal. If I had to buy it at full price I wouldn't probably upgrade but seeing how good of deals Samsung has when trading your s23 ultra was to good to pass. 516$ total for the buds pro 2( got a second pair now) and the s24 ultra, with a 24 month financing,it was to good to pass for me. The less reflective screen, the better sound, the improve soc and also the new ltpo 4.0 tech, the shutter lag fixed are some of the things I feel are well worth the trade in. But really the thing that made me upgrade was the deals.
Someone needs to Say it, s24ultra is a downgrade
How so?
9:38 aren't those pics traded, i mean, the pics of s23u seems better than s24u. Please confirm that to me
Very good vídeo as always. Thanks.👍
Idk also the S24U will get a major camera update soon
Yup
You're right they are the wrong way around. The left is the s24 ultra and the right s23 ultra. Which makes sense lol
Sorry mate but when the S24U's AI features become paid subscription only the S24U will be just as good as the S23U.
I ended up canceling my S24U order the day after I ordered it. I decided I'm not going to pay an extra 100 bucks just to get forced to pay again for features that go to a subscription. It's time to put our feet done in unison to say no to this mentality.
You don't know exactly what's going to happen, stop crying
@@RagingBadYou should read the fine print pal.
@@jmnero4447It's 2 years of free usage and then *maybe* it will be a monthly subscription, there's nothing specific about it that has been confirmed by samsung other than the fine print.
Besides you don't have to pay it to use the rest of the phone so if you don't care about those features then it really doesn't matter anyway.
Samsung could have just upgraded megapixel count on their 10x and 3x instread of 50mp 5x.
Avoid s24. Not worth the upgrade from s23
S25 ultra should be a lot better for a upgrade to me.❤❤❤
Prepare for Exynos 2500!
I could agree more and I was thinking of the same thing as well, since I'm getting the S23 ULTRA Next month I rather enjoy the previous model until the 25 ultra is announced in 2025.
Well I had to get s24 ultra since my s22 ultra died 2 months after being paid off made me mad I hope this phone lasts longer
When galaxy s23 ultra with 512gig is have same price as galaxy s24 ultra 512gig =1115$ so i prefer s24ultra
I think both phones are phenomenal. I agree that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is obviously better but not so much better that I need to upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Both phones are still the absolute best phones money can buy.
Yes please do a social media comparison 🙏🏼
Good comparison .
At 11:27 I disagree with you on this photo i think S23U has more detailed and S24U is oversharpening and a bit oily .
I can say a few things that I consider a big disappointment. The most important thing is about the cameras. I am a nature lover and I take a lot of nature photos and videos. It would be great to take your phone with you when hiking instead of a bulky camera, but unfortunately that's still not the case. First, the ultra-wide-angle/macro camera. I take a lot of macro photos and yet we have a 12MP dinosaur while other brands offer 48MP macro photos that are unmatched in terms of macro quality. Why can't Samsung change this when 48MP macro is available on phones that cost half the price of Samsung??? Second, camera with 3x zoom - still 10MP??? Really? For several years, the competition has been able to fit 48 MP cameras with 3x zoom without a periscope mechanism. Why can't Samsung? Being able to take photos and clips with the same quality as the brilliant new 5x zoom camera would be amazing. On my 23 ultra, I sometimes take photos with 3x zoom, which then have to be cropped and enlarged a bit during editing, but then the quality loss is huge. Especially in darker scenes. Finally, the new 5x zoom camera seems brilliant and with digital help replaces the old 10x zoom, but again after all there is no improvement in zoom quality and you still often can't get close to animals without alerting them. Putting a 24-36MP sensor on a 10x optical zoom camera would be a game changer, but unfortunately that won't happen. The lack of improvement over the years in terms of telephoto is again a huge no. Other things like battery capacity, charging speed and most painful lack of an SD card slot - also a disappointment, but not as big as cameras setup. Kind regards.
Personally the s23 ultra is enough for me. It's the best phone Samsung has made in years without compromised bits thrown in. I actually have the regular s23 and daily that instead now. I can't bring myself to sell the ultra and will use that for things like the zoo and days out with the family. As for the s24 regular, Samsung yet again using exynos. They just can't help themselves can they!
Can we have a comparison between the s20, 21, 22, 23 and now 24 ultra? It would be amazing to see what the changes are.
The resolution from (S21 1440×3200) to ( s23 1440×3088 ) and now ( s24 1440×3120) that's what I mind it
I mean all ultra size not the regular size
@@leonwngbingkeat8067 I'm not just talking about the size. People don't appreciate the new s24 ultra it would be great to see how far it came in terms of speed, build, screen, cameras etc.
thanks for clearly explaining. the best comparison video I found on YT.😇
I honestly have no idea wtf he is on about when he says the 5x to 10x on the S24U obliterates the S23U. Dont even see the difference. Probably cuz I'm blind.
S23U owners: The S24U is a better phone in many respects, but not by so much that its worth upgrading.
S22U owners: The S24U is obviously the better phone in every way, some features and processing speed improvements are worthwhile, but in the end it may still not be worth upgrading for most people.
S21U or older owners. The S24U is a huge upgrade, worth upgrading for sure.
Nope 8k on s23 Ultra is better... s24 Ultra isn't as good and is just full of A.I. gimmicks 😂... some of which will be released on u.i. 6.1 on the s23 Ultra anyways ...... no need to upgrade 😮😂
Really funny, all photos 5x on S24 ultra are worse than on S23 ultra. Really sad story😢
S23 ultra rocks. portaits 3x is clear and cooler tone. But when tried on s24 ultra worst experience. Dark photo and yellow tint.
Im excited, receiving mine this Friday
I think the S23 U looks better than the S24 U at 10X and it should do to be fair
I have used all the ultra and the biggest change was from s22 ultra to s23 ultra. s22 ultra was the biggest disappointment . and after just one week of use of s23 ultra I thought that for the first time samsung will have big difficulties to make better phone in one year. And the only noticeable difference is the AI that is smth that will be implemented even in s23 ultra. So for this time I will respect my s23 ultra and change next year
I have the 22Ultra and there's literally ZERO things I've heard this year and last that make me want to go out and spend. Phones have pretty much got to a point where they're running out of ideas.
No you don't. I got both and it's never really necessary to upgrade every single year. Love the changes but upgrading is totally unnecessary.
Do you know if you can still use a custom launcher like Nova to hide the nav bar? I've been using Nova for the last 5 years and have been pretty happy. I'll try One UI for a day or two when getting a new phone and then end up switching to Nova when I start missing my gestures lol.
Nova launcher is da bomb for sure! I use it on each new phone and nothing compares to the customization it offers.
@@risingwolf5368svp c'est quoi nova ?cordialement
I have s9, finally decided to upgrade
That's a major upgrade
@@RagingBad yep 😄
You're in for a treat!
@@techwithbenefits my s24U was delivered today. Its a big jump upgrade lol
note 10+ upgrade for me
3X portrait vs 5X just move a couple of steps forward and you have the same result.
lol...
With that logic why have any zoom at all? Just use your feet.
@@Sheepybish Obviously for telephone it's different, but as you are only a few feet away taking a portrait shot, 5X or 3X you may as well just move your feet.
The main issue I've seen in the S24 camera is the hdr in daytime with huge contrasts, like shade of a building and a wall enlighted by the sun
Did you try it?
I prefer the flat screen. I have to say, you have gone more in-depth on the camera differences and improvements and I have to agree with you! I've got an S24 Ultra on pre-order and can't wait to get it! Thanks for a great review!
I love the flat screen! I miss it! I miss putting a screen protector on my phone! And, that's the reason why I'm getting the S24 Ultra.
Well, I ended up taking it back. Lol! The battery life sucks!
@@jberry855 what back? what phone do you use?
Best comparison ever... very good points, just what I was looking for.
Currently still rocking my 5 year old Note 9 and still loving everything but the battery life. Considering upgrading to the S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra. I know either is going to be a dramatic improvement in many regards, but I'm torn as to whether or not the 24 is worth the price difference. It seems many say the 23 is better in some regards, particularly with the display and reception, 2 big points for me. Having a better camera is nice, but I've never found myself feeling like the photos on my Note 9 were lacking anything, so I couldn't justify going with the 24 over the 23 if that's really the main difference, especially if it means sacrificing in other aspects I actually care about. It really disappoints me that it's next to impossible to get a phone with an SD card slot anymore. I really like knowing my files are on a card that can be easily removed should my phone fail, and not having to rely on cloud storage. If I do upgrade to the 23 or 24, I'll definitely be keeping my Note 9 just so I can use Samsung Switch to quickly copy files from the new phone to my Note 9 and move them to an SD Card for quick backup.
My question is this...can anyone sway me one way or the other between the S23 Ultra and the S24 Ultra, keeping in mind I'm coming from a Note 9, don't care *that* much about the camera, but *do* care about reception, display quality (particularly color accuracy), Battery Life, and overall reliability?
Really impressed with the refinements of the screen. The anti glare and brightness deserve more attention and I am loving the fully squared off design with the display being mostly flat.
Downgrade over the s23 Ultra. The PCI D3 dropped to below 85 on the s24 Ultra.
Another superb upload. As a 23 Ultra user, the small upgrades on the 24 Ultra are excellent but not enough for me to go "wow".
I'll probably hang on until the S26 appears.
The screen is a massive upgrade though.
Have you experienced the microphone's strength in terms of sensitivity to distant sounds and 3D feel compared to the S23? Does it give an ambient feeling, purity of sound, and great capture of distant sounds?
Call me crazy, but those 10x photos were clearly overall better from the S23U. Dynamic range is the only thing that seemed better from the 10x on the S24U.
Other reviewers noticed that video at 10x and beyond come out more stable and clear from S23U, too. This is no surprise, given the S24U's reliance on digital zoom for those zoom levels.
funny fact - "new phone has titanium frame and old has metal frame" haha, both have metal frames s23 has aluminium metal frame and s24 has titanium metal frame, aluminium like titanium are both metals
Everything will be the same between both with oneui 6.1 on the s23
I upgraded my Motorola phone to the s24 ultra and immediately had missed my moto. There wasnt hardly a noticable differense other then having a stylus. I had it for a day taking pictures and playing with the phone. Ultimately i missed the moto actions, chop flashlight and shake for the camera. I returned my s24 ultra and im happy to keep my Motorola. Im hoping they come out with a phone simulator to the fold. Im a Motorola phone user since the moto droid turbo. You can buy my phone from Amazon refurbished for less then $130 😂
From the pictures with the dolphins the s23 ultra looked better on the building with m the 23 ultra was better. I just bought the s24 ultra i noticed my s21 none ultra has a better display and from these videos I've seen the s24 ultra is not as these TH-camrs make it. But its still new hopefully the updates will fix the display and adjust the camera and I use the 100x zoom so for him to say who uses it? I do and its a feature that made the ultras for the moon shots. Anyways as a s24 ultra owner its not what these TH-camrs say display alone is not as good as previous models his own pictures show the 23 ultra looking better. Anyone that bought a s24 ultra and have a previous galaxy compare the displays yourself and see if you notice anything
Upgraded from s21 ultra to s24 ultra. Dont really care about the camera. Camera on s24u is enough for me. Flat screen is amazing. Battery life is not bad. Glad the spen is back. A higher quality spen would be good. Ai helps to rewrite emails professionally.. but sometimes makes mistakes.
I got the S23 Ultra and i will never understand why people switch there phones every year, the differences are so minimum! To me it's a waste of money to upgrade every year it's better to upgrade after 3-4 years, only than you will have a better phone!
100x on s24 ultra is terrible compared to my s23 ultra in long distance and short distance shots I zoomed in 40x on on a letter 12ft away and it was clear as day on s23 ultra the s24 ultra couldn't focus and came out blurry to my surprise having been advertised as taking clear and crisp photos and that's before the Ai takes over and enhances the picture after the Ai it comes out even worse...don't know if my phone is faulty but the camera is dog shit
I've had both got my 23 Ultra back rather it over the 24 Ultr don't like the titanium and the flat screen isn't really a viable option to upgrade from curved is still nice besides that cameras to me were the same battery the same so don't waste your money like I did I sold my 24 ultra and got my money back from
Right or Left?? You don't say which phone is which, and that makes all the effort worthless to an otherwise excellent video. 100 % necessary to know which one is which. I'm referring to the part of the video before you compare the cameras.
Not going to upgrade from my s23 ultra.
The antiglare in s24 ultra is a downgrade for me, until this changes to clear screen with reflection and pure blacks, not buying another ultra. Like the flat screen though.
Может у автора проблема со зрением? Где он увидел "больше деталей" на середине ствола дерева у s24? Почему молчит о грязном и неестественном цвете моря? Автор, вы очень не объективны, или у вас очень плохое зрение, позор...
im using s23u, my 2 friends are using s24u and s22u.. i can wholeheartedly say for normal everyday use its not worth the upgrade.. even s22u is already overkill for normal daily use.
Also would be cool to do a watch comparison between Apple Watch Ultra Vs. The best Samsung Watch
I wish i had skipped this comparison. Too late now. This makes my 23su piece of crap :D Thanks for this great job!
Your photo comparison is strange. Each one looks better and sharper on the S23 Ultra, while you say it's sharper on the S24. Did you mislabel the photos? Something is wrong here. You say that it is sharper on S24, but the one with the S23 Ultra signature is visibly sharper.
I have the s23 ultra love that phone however for some reason my charge ports never last more than 1 year now not sure why
Me too
I AM still rocking s22 ultra. Not só good in baterry deparent but its still worth, going strong
Upgrading from s20 ultra Finally to s23 ultra dual sim does it for me. Miniscule changes
S23 and 22 have much better colors 😭😭😭I'm so sad I alrdy ordered s24. I hope they fix it with updates. Both camera and display colors
Yes Bro They Really Fix It With Updates Because Newly Launch iPhone 15 Series , S22 Series And S23 Series Also Has Worst Camera Quality But Afte Some Updates These All Phones Camera Quality Got Very Amazing So After Some Updates S24 Camera Quality Also Get Better Bro👍👍
I have note 20 ultra and I bougth the s24 ultra 512 gb because verizon gave me $940 credit to trade in my iphone 6 😂
You're in for a treat. That's a great trade in deal too!
10:25 the S24 ultra doesn't keep it sharper and by you saying that it's obvious this isn't an honest review!
never intended to upgrade from my s23 ultra but finally gave in. found it hard to part with my s23 ultra so traded in my s21 ultra from a few years back and got 550 euro off the s24 ultra. great video as usual . look foward to the next one 👍😊
Yea I'm keeping my S23U too and trading in my S22U. Better to keep a more recent phone for backup/next trade in.
It's been a while since the s8plus I finally decided to upgrade
Glad they took distance from useless curved screen. Your screen is now durable.
All this and NOTHING mentioning that this is the FIRST phone that uses WI-FI 7 6GHz.
Nothing on that performance.
Ugh...
Yes that was an oversight. Thanks for bringing it up
Upgraded from the 23u to the 24u and notice a solid difference in upgrade features tbh. Screen brightness is way brighter, battery life is noticeably improved, phone runs noticeably cooler under app usage like IG, non edge screen is a very nice change I really like. 4k120fps is absolutely amazing in recording.
By the way, the DCI P3 color on the s24 screens has been reduced vs the s23 Ultra. I noticed it didn't "pop" nearly as much as the s23 Ultra. I saw a review out of China that showed the reduction in PCI D3. It has dropped to between 82 to 84 percent. RGB color gamut is still 100, but gosh, the screen feels less exciting to me on the s24 Ultra.
I do not understand why reviewers spend so much time about the camera on smartphones nowadays. It's almost as if you have a camera that's a smartphone rather than a smartphone that has a camera.
There is so much more to a smart phone than the camera. Software experience, assistance with being more productive, watching videos, durability, etc. So much time is wasted on such a small component of a phone.
This video isn't just the camera, though.
But a large purchase driver for consumers is the camera. Hence, a large amount of time spent on it.
I'm seeing that the s23 is better than the s24? I'm not sure why he's saying that it's not better...
Dear Daniel, some of us nerds will surely take 100x photos,please don't skip it next time 😂
Apologies 😅 it's basically the same output at 100x so didn't feel a need to spend too much time on it
I have the S24 Ultra and hate the yellow tone. Would like to see it go away.
10x is actually better on s23 ultra tested it by myself
This review is confusing he's not specifying which ultra geezzz
At this point i think the s24 ultra is a step down .. mine is coming tomorrow but i probably will go to the s24 plus. Save the 300. But what are the major differences? I know the s24 u has a anti glare screen does the plus have it
I'm actually working on my comparison for SamMobile's TH-cam channel right now!
@@techwithbenefits okay thank u!
Yes! But, get a case & screen protector. The 1st drop test didn't go well! Failed it's 1st lowest Drop.
"Same-Same but Different"
Just google those words, my movie nerds will know...
I like that it can pair it's Camera's to any Galaxy Tablet.
Plus the non reflective display should be huge!
$800 for my S22 Ultra is what my carrier offered me, so I grabbed the 512g Black S24 Ultra here in TX 🤟
