@@JSLReviewwhat is NOT the primary selling point? The 12 has it all over Samsung, in standard specs, and then some (alert slider, IR blaster, screen protector and charging brick in box). I have the 12 and the 24+.
@@davidbrown6137s24+ has a better update schedule, better support, more quality of life features, a more polished UI, better security, crazy ecosystem with unique features, better customization, better battery life, etc.
I think I'd get the regular 24 if it offered the same charging rates and had the same screen as the plus, the fact that they tappered some specs down, didn't have all screens exactly the same with size being the only difference. I feel more pressured to go up to the plus to get the QHD screen and faster charge speeds. Then it makes me question the size difference from the ultra but then I still battle the price difference. Right now I am eligible for a 1k trade in on mine and my wife's devices. So with that being said we would only have to pay the taxes up front for the two plus models and then we'd have new devices, if we go the ultra route we would have to pay they additional $300+ taxes per device too. The no brainier feeling comes over mind to say grab the plus and run. I do have the S21 ultra currently which is about the same form factor. Was hoping to step down slightly for easier pocket carry and handling in general but that spec bump on the 24 is just less appealing. It will cost me almost the same amount to go with either the 24 or the 24+ so the plus is what we're leaning towards.
It's a pleasure seeing a channel ( trust me there aren't many ) that isn't Apple biased and absolutely has no tech knowledge at all! Just thinking about how many biased Apple bad channels there are just made me sad 😔
It's OK to be a fan just don't spread misinformation like a lot of these Apple fan boys. Don't say things that aren't true just because of your biases. Example one youtuber that has half a million subscribers says yeah Apple has had the best screen for years killing it.WHAT Apple screens for years have been Samsung and they just switched now Samsung screens are better SMH. Or you should check out mkhd youtuber video where he took pictures with all the phones and no one knew which phone took what pictures but the Apple fan boys said for sure Apple will come out on top. Guess who they all consistently picked last in pictures. Apple was last SMH so don't be one of those youtubers please 🤦
That’s great what you are telling but there is a big minor here in Europe. We get the exynos 2400 chip. How about that? That’s a real disappointment I think. Do recommend that also or not. And how about battery life on this exynos?
Yeah I don’t know why Samsung keeps doing that, it’s quite annoying. It’s hard for me to say if it’s worth it or not because all the US versions have the snapdragon chip.
From most benchmarks i've seen, it is worse then the snapdragon but the difference is very small. It's only really noticeable with a handful of games or emulation, there won't be any difference in normal use. The exynos does drain a bit more battery though, especially on 5G networks. I don't think it's a dealbreaker or anything, it's a shame that it is slightly worse but it won't matter 95% of the time. Definitely better then their previous exynos chips.
Thanks for the help. I'm close to finishing my 2 year plan on my samsung s22 ultra, and I'm on the debate about grabbing an s24+ or s24 ultra. The only thing that matters to me is the storage capacity on my phone, and the s24+ isn't really any different. The only thing I'd keep from my old phone is the Spen cause it helps me with writing things digitally
can we use 2 dual sim physical sims ? if not possible, can I use a physical sim on primary and turn it off and use 2ndary sim for calls and data as I am currently using an abroad physical sim and I need to use it for OTP's as I cannot get an e-sim for it, i need local australia sim in my 2ndary slot. Is it possible ? Please advise. I can get an e-sim in 2ndary as I m local here. but it doesnt work that way ? is it ? Please clarify. Appreciate it.
I wish they kept the same rounded edges like they do with the regular and the +. I get it serves as better housing for the s pen, but to be honest i don't think I've ever actually seen people use it. I wish the same design was kept through all 3 with only changes to quality and cameras. It makes for a hard decision because I want what the s24 ultra can do, but not what it looks like
The ultra is a note replacement and it was always boxy so if they want all the note fans to stay they have to stay true to the note brand. If they go rounded on the ultra I might as well get an iphone
@Mob3tta_01 yeahh I get that. For me I've only had an android, I just wish they could make a phone with all the high end features with a better and more comfortable design
Yeah good video . Two weeks before the pre order on the S24 I bought an S21 ultra for $350 to trade in and Samsung gave me $550 for it and so I saved enough to get the s24 plus and it's been a battery king .
Got the S24 Ultra, finding the weight is a bit much. Also, doesn't feel comfortable to hold. I'm always finding I want to put it down to use, instead of holding it. Also, starting to notice asking myself "do I need to take my phone?" before heading out somewhere. Not a good sign. Big weight and size difference bw the two (167g vs 232g!), but still have mostly same features as mentioned in this video. So I'm seriously considering selling the Ultra to a friend and getting the smaller S24 instead.
I traded my s23 ultra for the s24 plus cause i never really used the s pen. The 100 time zoom is more of a gimmick. With the plus now having the QHD screen now it's the same as the ultra. Pictures are really good on the plus and not as heavy as the ultra in the hand.
For myself it was between the s24 and s24 plus. I end up going with the regular s24 because it was just basically more pocket friendly. After years of rocking a Note 20 Ultra, I wanted something more manageable.
I just bought my S24 a week ago but it's been heating up quite quickly. The weather in Canada is still favoring the cold weather but it still gets hot.
My only reason for saying people should always get the ultra is the battery life. Even though there's only a hundred milliamp hour difference between the plus and the Ultra, for some reason when I got the ultra I was getting anywhere from 15 to 20% more battery life every single day and when I had the plus even though again the milliamp hours is only a hundred difference that's just how it was
I prefer the boxed look and feel, I also love the bigger phone screens. I can say why, 1. My eyes aren't what they used to be so the bigger the screen the better. 2. My hands are huge. So its np to hold the bigger phone.
I have an s22+ I've been debating for months whether to get the ultra or stick with the plus model. The new exynos chip isn't a deal breaker for me as im from the uk and currently have exynos 2200. Looking back, most of the phones I've had in the past have run exynos, so it's not a big change unless you are coming from snapdragon. I've always wanted the ultra/note model but always bailed out in the end. The plus is an all-around great phone, screen size is great but not too big, and the battery is very good for me as i use my phone for work and personal use.
I got a pre-order deal on my S24U, meaning the net cost was £30 once I traded in my S23U. I did not look at the S24+ as it is Exynos, and after my last three Exynos phones were dumpsters, I have sworn off them. I do agree that the S-pen is a waste of space for me, and I rarely use 5X zoom or higher, so a Snapdragon S24+ would have been my choice, or maybe the OP12.
I have also the S24+ (exynos) and it's amazing and i love the camera 😍 (i didn't but the Ultra because i don't like the boxy design and the square corners are not conformable and yeah i see myself don't using the S pen and the zoom that much and that's why i have the S24+ 😊 (also because of the rounded corners)
- $100 price difference between S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra is for 1) Titanium frame, 2) new Armor Glass + anti reflective coating, 3) design with change flatter display + 50 MP 5x telephoto zoom camera. - While $200 price difference over S24+ is for 1) 200 MP main camera + 5x telephoto camera, 2) design + more premium build quality (Armor Glass, anti-reflective coating, titanium frame), 3) larger battery. - And $200 difference between S24 and S24+ is for 1) display panel, 2) battery with no 45W charging, 3) smaller battery.
The only thing holding me back from Samsung was the locked bootloader & terrible curved sides. Both issues are fixed with the s24 series! Flat display, flat sides, & 7 years of updates!
If you are a extreme gamer just stay away from s24 exynos versions. It consumes more battery, not stable, has lower fps and heats up faster than snapdragon. The S23's are still a better option for gamers, especially if they will have the same features as s24. however the software support will be shorter.
@davidbrown6137 it's not worth it in my opinion. Samsung has a way more functional software with more features that make the experience seamless. That, along with the ecosystem, the vibrant screen, and the great camera features make for a way more fun phone to use. I literally get to emulate multiplayer Ps2 and GameCube games on my TV with samsung dex and a couple dualshock 4 controllers.
Watching on my S24 base. It's nice but I'm missing some iPhone luxuries. Not missing some of the stupid iPhone things. But my fear of the camera not being as great as iPhone is true.
Everyone should know this. I have an S20 FE on Snapdragon, a day ago I received an S24 plus on Exynos. Taking photos on the S24+ is very unstable, the photos look like crap in terms of colors and even detail compared to the S20 FE! The photos are very HDR in auto mode, the color rendition is poor, there are highlights, and in difficult conditions it turns out completely incomprehensible. I tried different settings and PRO mode, but to no avail - as soon as the shooting conditions get a little worse, the quality instantly falls apart. Shooting on the S20 FE is better in all respects than the S24+ at the moment. Only, perhaps, the video quality in the daytime is better on the S24 due to more advanced stabilization. And I don’t understand how bloggers compare the camera quality of the S24 with the iPhone 15 and other smartphones when it is inferior to the younger model from three or four years ago. Instead of finally making really good cameras and putting a good processor on the entire line, Samsung is throwing dust in the eyes with almost useless AI. Samsung are you serious, wtf is that?! Pizdets I hope that the updates will somehow change the situation, but I probably won’t care anymore)
I just checked all of them at the shop and I have to say.. the Ultra feels extra premium. the Plus feels like a brick in my hands. So thick and big.
