@arctictruck10 thinking about this, it's exactly what Bigfoot would say. And to be fair, we've never seen you and Bigfoot in the same place at the same time. Hmmmm... interesting...
Bigfoots don't entirely exist in the 3rd dimension, nor in the same frequency band of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum that the standard human visual/perceptual system is adapted to percieve. Trying to capture a bigfoot with a normal cellphone camera is like trying to capture radio waves with such a camera.
quick answer from a user who pre-ordered and has been using it as a daily driver since - Yes, totally worth it, battery life is fantastic, display is gorgeous, nice and bright out in the sun. love it.
@petros9658 honest. I upgraded from a S21Ultra, traded that in and got this S24Ultra. I don't really change phones often, looking to use it for at least 3 years.
Respect you anyway oh and I'm broke now too but it's better broke then rich. Cheers to a Ballance 🥂 a future by God and a life soon with Jesus for eternity 🙏
Very very good said! Every phone have pros and cons…i see in the S24U an good all rounder. I have an iPhone 13(simple not pro) and in this autumn i hope i will change it for an S24 U…the price is still pretty big, but if it will last 4 years without any problems, i will be satisfied.
To be honest this phone seems to have just very little downsides and if I could afford it I'd buy it in a heatbeat because I would just buy this phone and probrobly would keep it for decades
I've just finished a 18 day trip around Europe. I took 100s of images and videos. My S24U was my only camera. I have amazing day and night footage... Thanks for a real good video👍🏻
@@cannibalronny7314iphone camera wasnt as enjoyable as my s20 plus for my dubai vacation. And it was the 14 pro max. I think people especially from the US thinks apple have the best camera just because a lot of people uses it.
What made you switch? You did not want to wait for Apples roll out of their AI, to see how it worked? Or was it more of the build quality and the look of the phone?
@mden2490 The battery wasn't that great & it offers less features than what you get from a samsung. E.g. No dual app support, even the weather doesn't work in offline mode,..etc. The iphone is cool because it's "different" but it's inferior to the samsung.
@@manamp1 If I may ask another question, where you a iPhone user for a long time before switching? I have been an iPhone user since its inception. I tried the s24ultra and it was tough to transition to android. I really would love to give it another try? The new Pixel 9 ProXL looks tempting as well?
@mden2490 I've been a samsung person. My wife however was an iphone user till she recently also switched. She has the regular s24 bcuz the ultra is big for her hands. If imessage isn't a limitation for you, then you wouldn't have a problem using an android. The pixel 9 seems great too & it looks just like an iphone so yeah you might like it. Give it a try. You can always get back to iphone.
@@manamp1 thanks for your responses! I am not sure with RCS rollout next month on the iPhone’s that I message will be such a needed commodity anymore. Sure they will still keep the blue and green bubbles but now both platforms will be able to communicate over WiFi with content being delivered equally in regard to quality of the photos, size of files, etc. Why the s24ultra and not the pixel for you?
NOTHING beats teh Note9 fingerprint reader, tho, with near 100% accuracy. With the S24 Ultra you'll be pressing down a few times to get the fingerprint reader to read your print correctly.
Nice. I'll likely move back to Samsung in 2025 for the S25 Ultra. My iPhone 15 Pro battery isn't kicking it for me. I also miss the Samsung ecosystem; especially the S-Pen, which I use a lot.
Meanwhile Im considering trading 24U for base S25 during preorder as i always want compact phone. And unlike S24 exynos, S25 will use mediatek or gen 4 that has good efficiency Do you think its worth doing so
Fyi the goodlock update was pushed out about a month ago, at least for my unlocked u.s. version. One other thing as to the s pen, NOBODY ever mentions its website usage. It's why i find the s pen so useful. For small hyperlinks, forms, and maps. Furthermore i need extremely precise map coordinates for search & rescue as well as noaa maps, and the s pen does what a finger cannot. That said, great job on the video, thanks!
Huh, our phone has yet to receive the update yet, but good to know they started rolling it out. Glad you enjoyed the video and good to know about that use case for the s pen, thanks for commenting about it. - Josh

Something everyone misses about screen saturation on the S24s is that by default the saturation slider is set to the lowest. Go into settings>display>adaptive colour tone and turn it off. Then go into screen mode, select "vivid" then the "advanced settings" button. You will get a 3 step slider. By default it is set to the lowest. I have mine in the middle. But if you like the old samsung overly saturated look, you can get it by sliding it to the max. The screen is amazing either way. And then you CAN turn adaptive colour tone back on.
@@uryuu7758 Depends on how you use it really. My 128GB Pixel 7 Pro is still doing great. I play games, load Linux on it, and take videos and photos regularly. I do, however, most everyday phone users wouldn't do. Back up (transfer) my data to my PC regularly. It's very simple these days with Nearby Share available on Windows devices.
U watch a samsung review, they say Google does better U watch a Pixel review, they say Samsung does better Don't believe in these tech reviewers we consumers won't have a problem with anything Plus we are very impressed by the spen never seen such tech on a phone
I got used to the S Pen on my small Note20 so I bought the S24Ultra to continue to enjoy the advantages. The S Pen is much more precise in choosing things on the screen (like the tiny 'X's to close annoying overlay ads). I also suspect the oleophobic coating on the screen to last longer 🤞
Any iPhone users that don’t regret going to this? I’m really thinking about going to this. I went on a trip and my pictures were terrible next to the pictures my friend took on her galaxy
My iPhone 12 had a multitude of issues before I switched to the s24 ultra after a friend if mine had said the s23 ultra is the best phone he's ever had, and his picture quality was multitudes better than I got on my iPhone, I'm never getting an iPhone again
I'm using the 15 Pro Max and I got the S24 Ultra under a mobile carrier plan. I don't regret getting it and will even consider getting the S26 series once it comes in 2026.
I got the iPhone 16 Pro the other day and don't regret it one bit. s24 Ultra has some wicked cool features, but there's been way too many bugs and issues reported with the phone. With Samsung you get more bells and whistles, with iPhone you get reliability and longevity. Samsungs depreciate in value faster over time, and get laggy quicker. s24 Ultra is more expensive new, but in 2 to 3 years your IPhone 16 Pro Max will be worth way more and will be easier to sell at a higher price. iPhones are just better investments.
I have a VW Golf for everyday usage.Never crossed my mind to to buy a Ferrari for an occasional trip. Thanks for informing me that a more expensive dedicated camera takes a better picture than a smartphone. Brilliant 👏 👏
Yeah. Dude is definitely an iPhone plant. Hating on Samsung. Samsung has the best camera in the market. Hands down! Even iPhone holders compliment my phone's pictures. The dude is just an apple fan boy. Probably gay!
The problem with the S24U’s camera this year is that the yellow haunting color is too heavy on the 5x camera, many users from all over the country complain, but Samsung still ignores that problem and after many updates this situation remains unchanged. Especially the terrible yellow haunting situation occurs when filming videos at the 5x camera. You can fix Whit Balance by pro mode but in this mode you cannot be switched between cameras. It's so stupid. They even removed the feature of recording portrait videos 3x optical in the previously existing on the S23U.
@@MagnusFabrication it's interesting how on Pixel or Iphone (or any other flagship besides Samsung at this point) you can get great if not excellent results with simple point and shoot, but somehow Samsung devices need a lot of "knowledge", settings, fine tuning, third party apps, editing... And even with all that - still can't produce picture/video that's on pair with competition. lol
I keep going back to my S24U opposed to my P8. After using standard Galaxy or the "Plus" verisons from S8-S10 era's, I figured I drop my S21 for the premium S24U. This thing is so good when it comes to shooting concert shots, fast / responsive interface, battery, cooling, customization, display. I will try out my P8 every other month or in special use cases when not wanting to lug around a larger phone. I find the software fun with the haptics and animations on the P8, but the S24U always feels like home. I hope Samsung one day can bring the flagship Ultra into a smaller, rounded corner variation like Google is doing with the P9 Pro. I'm VERY interested.
Same with me! Im considering trading 24U for base S25 during preorder as i always want compact phone. And unlike S24 exynos, S25 will use mediatek or gen 4 that has good efficiency Do you think its worth doing so
I don't think your camera review is fair, because u keep comparing the phone to a device that is dedicated to take pics in high quality, and still the phones camera stands out to the Fujifilm camera
Every phone have pros and cons…no one is perfect… but in the S24U i see an good all rounder. Yes, the price is still pretty big, but probably before Black Friday or on BF will be at an more resonable price i hope. I want to switch from an iPhone 13(not pro, the simple one) to S24U and i’m convinced that the camera is not that spectaular how many many youtubers said…but you get the job done with it…at least is a flagship phone… Good job with the video!
Coming from a pre-ordered Note 20 Ultra, this thing has been fantastic! Definitely a fan of the decision to drop the curved edges. The battery life has been amazing, and the cameras are a nice improvement for me, despite the sometimes odd post processing. Ready to have this thing for the next 7 years
I use Nova prime for a UI instead. it's way better for customization, like changing your apps icons to anything you want makes the homescreen look alot cooler.
I love it, dont see a need to upgrade from this for a few years especially since I purchased a mirrorless camera and the only improvement I can think of would be the camera
I have purchased Samsung phones exclusively since cell phones came on the scene. My current phone is the Z Fold 4; however, that phone became virtually unusable when it suffered from what I understand is a not so uncommon problem: when I fold and close the phone (from its very impressive full screen) it shuts off. I mean, it powers down completely and the only way to access the phone is to turn it on and go through the power-on protocol. This means, I now must use my phone as a tablet, unless I am willing to go through the 2-3 minute power-on process each time I close the phone. I am passed warranty and repairs here in Mexico are somewhat problematic AND, how can you not have your phone for the days required for it to be repaired, a cost, I have been told, also appears to be steep... So, I have decided to switch from the foldable phones (which are beautiful) and I've ordered the S24 Ultra. I do hope the transition to a small screen won't be too much of a disappointment. Then again--to not have your phone work is a pretty serious disappointment in itself. Thank you for the fair assessment of the S24 Ultra. By the way (oh, can yammer so) I have extensive high-quality photography gear. That said, the convenience of have my always-available phone/camera has allowed me to take innumerable high-quality photographs I would not have had were it not for my phone. The photos I have taken with my Samsung phones, given the nature of the equipment, have been and continue to be superb. I do run them through Snapseed software, and, again, given the nature of the equipment, I couldn't be happier. ... Thanks for allowing me space to ramble.
I get a new phone every 1yr 10 months exactly. My current phone is the s22 ultra and I love it. Battery is still pretty good. I have the s24 ultra on the way and I'm excited to get it
If I was going to get this I would also want a case for protection, how does the phone feel when moving around with it in your pocket? Also when sitting is it snug or does it fall out easily? I still have a iPhone 8plus
Let me put it this way, it's like the phone is covered in grease and then oil on top of that and then sprinkle some graphite in there to make it extra slippery. It's so slippery that you can set it on most surfaces and it WILL find a way to slide off. The 1st week it slipped out of my hand probably 100 times. It's literally that bad. These are awesome phones but if your not super careful they will get away from you...repeatedly. Also I'll believe the gorilla glass claims when I can go more than a month without cracking a screen. The ph I'm using right now is cracked because I set it on my leg and without even moving it slid right off and landed face down on the floor in my truck and managed to crack. And there's a rubber mat on the floor of the truck. To me those are the 2 major drawbacks on these phones. Super slippery and they crack if you look at em the wrong way. I'd love to meet the genius who decided that the device most of us handle 1,000 times a day should be made entirely of glass. You'll love the phone but buy a case when you buy the phone. You'll thank me later. Also as a side note. If you manage to Crack the back of the phone it cannot be repaired...sooo.. that's a thing too.
If u want absolute best camera s24 ultra isnt for u better of with dslr, if u want best battery s24 u again isnt the choice, go for one of those bulky bricks of a phone with 6-10k mah batteries, if u want fastest charging then its better to go with budget androids that have 100-240 watt charging, if u want smoothest ui u can stick with stock android like that on pixel or ios but but if u want the best versatile phone there is the phone with everything then s24 ultra might be it Best ever display, one of the best cameras, one of the best battery timing, one of the best ui if not the best, best looking too in my opinion and waterproofing then s24 ultra is the only chocie
No need for DSLR, Iphones and Pixels are pretty great for point and shoot photography (and every other Samsung competitor). Samsung can't/won't solve basic things, like shutter lag, terrible processing, HDR...
I agree very much with this review about it being worth it or not. I'd like to get the S24+ instead, but it comes with Exynos in my region (Brazil). Only the S24U comes with Snapdragon 8 Gen3 here. The alternative would be the much more well priced S23+, but August 2nd is my b-day and I wanted to splurge on a top tier smartphone to swap my Galaxy A51 for and keep it for years.
I switched from iPhone 15 pro back to android samsung s24 ultra , and my experience so far is amazing, I love screen , the 5x zoom replacing the 10x was a conscious decision, I find the phone gave me a better experience and value over the iPhone
I honestly wish Samsung offered the s24 ultra in the same exact size as the standard s24 with all the glitz and bells and whistles but unfortunately they don't and it seems like everybody wants a huge giant phone whereas I would prefer a standard size powerhouse unit but they don't make them anymore 🤬 it would also be great if Samsung would bring back the infamous and legendary old fashioned jack port back on the phone as in my opinion it was a great feature that is no longer available! Sure they have amazing wireless devices that are high end quality that are wireless and chargeable and very convenient but in my opinion nothing beats the old school wired system! I absolutely loved the option of having a wired port system as well as wireless one.... SAMSUNG bring it back 💪😎👍 and build a small powerhouse unit with all the options of the s24 ultra! People will buy it! I will buy it!
Same me too just like smaller pixel 9 pro. Im considering trading 24U for base S25 during preorder as i always want compact phone. Actually wanted S24 compact size but uses shit exynos so im forced to get 24U with snapdragon chip. S25 will use mediatek or gen 4 that has good efficiency unlike s24 exynos. Do you think its worth trading in?
I love this phone, and I've literally never been able to keep a phone for more than 6 months ever since I've been an adult. I am keeping this. Even compared to the Pixel 9 XL which I just got-- I'm keeping this, I'm returning the Pixel. It's just a damn good phone.
Hi, I have noticed that the frame around the 50MP periscope telephoto camera on my phone is slightly tilted, approximately 5-7 degrees off from the vertical or relative to the phone's vertical edge. This seems like it could be an assembly issue during production. Could other users with a 50MP periscope telephoto lens check their cameras for any similar tilt in the frame relative to the vertical or phone edge? I’d appreciate any feedback on this. Thank you!
my biggest issue is camera, specially when i photo people. it enhances every little thing on their/my face and it can be very bad. plus, it always makes face too light. when i look at ppl before taking pics, it looks realistic and i would like it that way but it process it as i don't want. i tried every advice but doesn't help. everything else is 100/100 but because of a camera, i wouldn't pay it so much anymore.
Totally agree with your point with regards to the camera. For everyday shots, the smartphone absolutely all day long. But if you're going to be taking photos at important events such as weddings and things like that, especially if you were doing it as a favour for someone, you would NOT be using a smartphone. That's just fact. You would use a dedicated camera for that. Other than that though, I am looking to upgrade my s20+ so I think this would be awesome.
S24U can't deliver decent (not great - decent/usable) pictures of moving subjects. So you end up with blurry pictures of kids, pets, anything with even slight movement. Noone wants/expects pro camera quality, but if you look at what Iphone or Pixel can do, it's clear how far Samsung is behind
@@stevanb.2590 Are you using automatic or manual settings for your camera, because that could be the problem, if you're using automatic settings. It doesn't always get it right every time.
@@jordanking7711 automatic, of course (I tried all camera assistant settings/combinations - it does not help). If I wanted to use Pro in order to get decent pic, I'd buy professional camera.
@@anwarulislam9522 basically every flagship today has better camera performance then Samsung. That's kinda sad since many of those companies didn't even exist when Samsung had their top devices, such as S8/9, Note9...
Have been trying to figure out how to reconfigure holding the lock button from bixby to google assistant since i bought this phone and you finally helped me figure out how. literally game changing. Thanks!
My average screen time on smartphones is 1-3 hours per day. Also, I should have mentioned a lot of things can cause battery life to be wildly different. Certain apps drain the battery faster, screen brightness, whether you’re on WiFi or not, there are a lot of factors that can affect battery life which is why I was mainly comparing it to other phones I’ve used with the same apps and general setup etc. - Josh
My S24 ultra is on 10% right this minute, having not charged it since a day and a half ago. I'm also a battery need so I'm constantly monitoring which apps run in the background, and shutting them down/disabling them. My phone screen averages ON about 3 hours a day. I don't game on my phone. I only use X, FB, TH-cam, Rumble, Spotify as my major apps All that to kinda give you an idea of how my phone is lasting so long.
All Samsung devices I have ever used including their point and shoots suffer from shutter lag, the only Samsung camera I have liked would be the Note Edge so long ago lol
I mostly agree with your comments, like not using the AI features as much as I thought I would, and also the S-pen. I still think it's a nice addition to have "just in case," but yeah, I used it like 3 times since I bought the S24U a few months ago. So, I agree with you saying you'd trade it off for less weight and less bulkiness. I found the weight, the size, and the bulkiness of the S24U to be the biggest downside of the phone, and I still kind of can't get used to it when comparing it to my previous phone which was like half of the weight and much thinner. I do appreciate the quality and the size of the display, though, so there's a trade-off. As far as the camera quality is concerned, I can agree with occasional oversharpening, but honestly, the camera system on the S24U is a beast, and I'm happy with like 98% of the shots. I think it'd also be worth mentioning the Expert RAW camera feature, which gives you a whole lot of possibilities if you know how to use it properly. I've never really felt like needing to use a proper camera, unless you're like a professional photographer or something.
For a good portrait, I don't take 18 meg pixel picture, like you are saying. My picture must be at least 48 meg pixels. Now it has been over 7 months, the S24 ultra is still beating any iPhone out in the market.
I have no problem with having no user replaceable batteries as long as they dont charge stupid amounts for a change. People need to realize that dust/waterproof ratings would be impacted by having different type of seals, and also structural integrity would be impacted by making the phone easily open-able for average user.
Hey I recently bought it and I just wanted to know one thing Can you put the s pen upside down By upside down I mean when you unboxing for the first time the button is facing downwards meaning it is facing towards the camera (the button is on the back side) Is it reversible meaning can I put the button side up (can I insert the pen where the button is towards the screen meaning the button is on the screens side)
Well said. If I really want a proper camera I would default to a handheld camera. Nowadays even mid range phones are producing great photos and videos.
Ditch the crappy apple they think they know what is best for you and give you virtually NO customization come over to the android world with the best phone the S24 ultra
Yeah, fuck that I purchased the iPhone 15 Pro Max and then a few months later I got the galaxy S24 ultra, and dare I say that I actually like my Samsung galaxy S24 ultra a lot better. I love the stylus. I love the big screen, and the apps that it offers considering I do have a Gmail account
Im actually into compact phones and want s24 but it uses exynos so im forced to get 24U since pre order. Is it worth trading 24U for base S25 as it'll use dinensity or snapdragon chip that has good efficiency
Two other features that are worth buying the S24 Ultra: 1) 50X ZOOM which can read a license plate 1/10 mile away. 2) Supports 6 GHz Wi-Fi channels which can do 1 Gigabit downloads.
Watched a phone review video and not a single word was mentioned about the call quality and voice quality of the phone. Also, why are you comparing an innate camera with a phone camera? Apples to oranges man. People do not buy phones only to take photos. They buy them for other stuff too. If you want to take insanely clear, sharp pictures, then a dedicated camera is what you want. This video was mildly annoying because of those two things alone.
Have the 15pm and S24U. Only time I use the iPhone is when there's a chance of damage to the phone..it's the one to take the bullet. Also owned a pixel 8pro this year.. garbage..no comparison. Had OnePlus12 and I would've kept that over the 15pm..camera is so much better than the others. But the Ultra is overall excellent and that anti glare screen + the design makes it my favorite device ever. Solid review fella
@@eihabhani5941 both of them. And it wasn't close. For further clarification, I am not a photo guy..I never tinker or fiddle with settings. Pull up the phone, use the camera app, shot. One plus is clearly nicer, especially in low light and with background images.
I think most consumers are not photophiles who nitpick about those types of details. They just want some memories captured for future reference, and any modern phone will do just that.
I do understand why people want a good camera, but let's be honest: Apart from photographers and "Pixel Counters" a regular person can't tell the difference between a Samsung XXX XXX and a Nokia Lumia 1020 from 2013. Even on a PC Screen. Smartphone Cameras (in Daylight) are good enough for a LONG TIME now. If you really want to take photos and print them on everything thats a little bit larger, you need a DLSR anyway, since the quality difference is enormous because of the lens.
Traded in my 24u for the fold 6. Am not to finicky about photos so it was ok, my only issue is not having the spen by default which like u said mightve not been needed in the s24u but more for the fold 6 instead.
As someone looking to upgrade from the s22u and debating between the 2 (I watch a lot of stuff on my phone, 12hr shifts at work), I'm assuming the camera quality would be a big drop? I record a lot of videos, etc
Was thinking to get this phone for gaming and emulation. But since it was way too expensive and didn't wanted to pay so much money for it, i decided to go for Poco F6, and have no regrets.
Does the processing of the images increase the file size of the image? Im not a techy person but my job requires me to take a lot of pics and email them from my phone. With my S21 I have to dumb down my pic quality by a lot or I can only email a couple pics at a time or the file size becomes too big to send. In the real world Id like to send 4 or 5 pics at a time.
One thing I've noticed in mine, is that the phone heats up when using camera stuff. Which I assume is because of AI integration working simultaneously, but I dunno exactly why
I'm an owner of 15 pro max and S24 Ultra.15 pro max beats S24 Ultra in terms of battery and OnePlus 12 as well. I wish Samsung last longer than an Apple phone. And one more thing it's rectangular design is not comfortable at all

I tried the s24ultra and it was tough to transition to android. I really would love to give it another try? The new Pixel 9 ProXL looks tempting as well?
@mden2490 I've been a samsung person. My wife however was an iphone user till she recently also switched.
She has the regular s24 bcuz the ultra is big for her hands.
If imessage isn't a limitation for you, then you wouldn't have a problem using an android. The pixel 9 seems great too & it looks just like an iphone so yeah you might like it. Give it a try.
You can always get back to iphone.
@@manamp1 thanks for your responses! I am not sure with RCS rollout next month on the iPhone’s that I message will be such a needed commodity anymore. Sure they will still keep the blue and green bubbles but now both platforms will be able to communicate over WiFi with content being delivered equally in regard to quality of the photos, size of files, etc. Why the s24ultra and not the pixel for you?
I moved from note9 to s24 ultra.. what an insane jump !
I'm planning the same move.
NOTHING beats teh Note9 fingerprint reader, tho, with near 100% accuracy. With the S24 Ultra you'll be pressing down a few times to get the fingerprint reader to read your print correctly.
Note 9 to s20 ultra. Hats off to my old note 9.
I'm planning to go from note10 to s24U. It's good, right? Right?

It is good . But I think you wouldn't be much surprised !
Nice. I'll likely move back to Samsung in 2025 for the S25 Ultra.

@cmrdecc6516 i Def am I was miserable with apple
Fyi the goodlock update was pushed out about a month ago, at least for my unlocked u.s. version. One other thing as to the s pen, NOBODY ever mentions its website usage. It's why i find the s pen so useful. For small hyperlinks, forms, and maps. Furthermore i need extremely precise map coordinates for search & rescue as well as noaa maps, and the s pen does what a finger cannot. That said, great job on the video, thanks!
Huh, our phone has yet to receive the update yet, but good to know they started rolling it out. Glad you enjoyed the video and good to know about that use case for the s pen, thanks for commenting about it. - Josh

Something everyone misses about screen saturation on the S24s is that by default the saturation slider is set to the lowest. Go into settings>display>adaptive colour tone and turn it off. Then go into screen mode, select "vivid" then the "advanced settings" button. You will get a 3 step slider. By default it is set to the lowest. I have mine in the middle. But if you like the old samsung overly saturated look, you can get it by sliding it to the max. The screen is amazing either way. And then you CAN turn adaptive colour tone back on.

Don't believe in these tech reviewers we consumers won't have a problem with anything
Plus we are very impressed by the spen never seen such tech on a phone
I got used to the S Pen on my small Note20 so I bought the S24Ultra to continue to enjoy the advantages. The S Pen is much more precise in choosing things on the screen (like the tiny 'X's to close annoying overlay ads). I also suspect the oleophobic coating on the screen to last longer 🤞
me too but i havent opend my s24 ultra yet i will open it tommorow when i com back from vacation
Any iPhone users that don’t regret going to this? I’m really thinking about going to this. I went on a trip and my pictures were terrible next to the pictures my friend took on her galaxy
what iPhone are u using?
My iPhone 12 had a multitude of issues before I switched to the s24 ultra after a friend if mine had said the s23 ultra is the best phone he's ever had, and his picture quality was multitudes better than I got on my iPhone, I'm never getting an iPhone again
i currently using iphone se 2020 and looking for upgrade my phone, after testing s24u & ip16pm today, i think i will go with s24u.
I'm using the 15 Pro Max and I got the S24 Ultra under a mobile carrier plan. I don't regret getting it and will even consider getting the S26 series once it comes in 2026.
I got the iPhone 16 Pro the other day and don't regret it one bit.
s24 Ultra has some wicked cool features, but there's been way too many bugs and issues reported with the phone.
With Samsung you get more bells and whistles, with iPhone you get reliability and longevity.
Samsungs depreciate in value faster over time, and get laggy quicker.
s24 Ultra is more expensive new, but in 2 to 3 years your IPhone 16 Pro Max will be worth way more and will be easier to sell at a higher price.
iPhones are just better investments.
I have a VW Golf for everyday usage.Never crossed my mind to to buy a Ferrari for an occasional trip.
Thanks for informing me that a more expensive dedicated camera takes a better picture than a smartphone.
Brilliant 👏 👏
😂
Yeah. Dude is definitely an iPhone plant. Hating on Samsung. Samsung has the best camera in the market. Hands down! Even iPhone holders compliment my phone's pictures. The dude is just an apple fan boy. Probably gay!
It is the Swiss Army knife of smartphones. If you dig an abundance of features, including the kitchen sink, then the S24U wins.
The problem with the S24U’s camera this year is that the yellow haunting color is too heavy on the 5x camera, many users from all over the country complain, but Samsung still ignores that problem and after many updates this situation remains unchanged. Especially the terrible yellow haunting situation occurs when filming videos at the 5x camera. You can fix Whit Balance by pro mode but in this mode you cannot be switched between cameras. It's so stupid. They even removed the feature of recording portrait videos 3x optical in the previously existing on the S23U.
And shutter lag ? It's 2024. and one still can't get a decent photo of moving subject
@@stevanb.2590 you can set smart optimization to minimum to get faster sutter.
Its not the phone ya'll just suck at taking pictures.
@@MagnusFabrication it's interesting how on Pixel or Iphone (or any other flagship besides Samsung at this point) you can get great if not excellent results with simple point and shoot, but somehow Samsung devices need a lot of "knowledge", settings, fine tuning, third party apps, editing... And even with all that - still can't produce picture/video that's on pair with competition. lol
I absolutely love love love my s24 ultra ❤
I keep going back to my S24U opposed to my P8. After using standard Galaxy or the "Plus" verisons from S8-S10 era's, I figured I drop my S21 for the premium S24U. This thing is so good when it comes to shooting concert shots, fast / responsive interface, battery, cooling, customization, display. I will try out my P8 every other month or in special use cases when not wanting to lug around a larger phone. I find the software fun with the haptics and animations on the P8, but the S24U always feels like home.
I hope Samsung one day can bring the flagship Ultra into a smaller, rounded corner variation like Google is doing with the P9 Pro. I'm VERY interested.
Same with me!

@@jovk888-hs1qn ever since I got my P9P, I haven't gone back to my S24U lol. It's been a month
I don't think your camera review is fair, because u keep comparing the phone to a device that is dedicated to take pics in high quality, and still the phones camera stands out to the Fujifilm camera
exactly
Every phone have pros and cons…no one is perfect… but in the S24U i see an good all rounder. Yes, the price is still pretty big, but probably before Black Friday or on BF will be at an more resonable price i hope. I want to switch from an iPhone 13(not pro, the simple one) to S24U and i’m convinced that the camera is not that spectaular how many many youtubers said…but you get the job done with it…at least is a flagship phone…
Good job with the video!
Coming from a pre-ordered Note 20 Ultra, this thing has been fantastic! Definitely a fan of the decision to drop the curved edges. The battery life has been amazing, and the cameras are a nice improvement for me, despite the sometimes odd post processing. Ready to have this thing for the next 7 years
I use Nova prime for a UI instead. it's way better for customization, like changing your apps icons to anything you want makes the homescreen look alot cooler.
I've been using nova since the note4, love it!
@xXBrettGareyXx yeah i love customization, why I love samsung, Android in general.
I love it, dont see a need to upgrade from this for a few years especially since I purchased a mirrorless camera and the only improvement I can think of would be the camera
I have purchased Samsung phones exclusively since cell phones came on the scene. My current phone is the Z Fold 4; however, that phone became virtually unusable when it suffered from what I understand is a not so uncommon problem: when I fold and close the phone (from its very impressive full screen) it shuts off. I mean, it powers down completely and the only way to access the phone is to turn it on and go through the power-on protocol. This means, I now must use my phone as a tablet, unless I am willing to go through the 2-3 minute power-on process each time I close the phone. I am passed warranty and repairs here in Mexico are somewhat problematic AND, how can you not have your phone for the days required for it to be repaired, a cost, I have been told, also appears to be steep... So, I have decided to switch from the foldable phones (which are beautiful) and I've ordered the S24 Ultra. I do hope the transition to a small screen won't be too much of a disappointment. Then again--to not have your phone work is a pretty serious disappointment in itself. Thank you for the fair assessment of the S24 Ultra. By the way (oh, can yammer so) I have extensive high-quality photography gear. That said, the convenience of have my always-available phone/camera has allowed me to take innumerable high-quality photographs I would not have had were it not for my phone. The photos I have taken with my Samsung phones, given the nature of the equipment, have been and continue to be superb. I do run them through Snapseed software, and, again, given the nature of the equipment, I couldn't be happier. ... Thanks for allowing me space to ramble.
Love it 👏 and love your verbiage !
I get a new phone every 1yr 10 months exactly. My current phone is the s22 ultra and I love it. Battery is still pretty good. I have the s24 ultra on the way and I'm excited to get it
There is barely any difference between the 2 phones.
@moabman6803 agreed. Tye s24 ultra is a bit heavier. But otherwise there isn't much difference at all which is disappointing
Broke also but happy. Just bought an S24 Ultra 1TB. 😂
You could've bought 1 off Amazon for way cheaper or on eBay with a slightly damaged box
@@ahmedkhawaja5376 It's fine. Thanks for the suggestion though😎
Why 1 Tb?512 is enough for most ppl
If I was going to get this I would also want a case for protection, how does the phone feel when moving around with it in your pocket? Also when sitting is it snug or does it fall out easily? I still have a iPhone 8plus
Let me put it this way, it's like the phone is covered in grease and then oil on top of that and then sprinkle some graphite in there to make it extra slippery. It's so slippery that you can set it on most surfaces and it WILL find a way to slide off. The 1st week it slipped out of my hand probably 100 times. It's literally that bad. These are awesome phones but if your not super careful they will get away from you...repeatedly. Also I'll believe the gorilla glass claims when I can go more than a month without cracking a screen. The ph I'm using right now is cracked because I set it on my leg and without even moving it slid right off and landed face down on the floor in my truck and managed to crack.
And there's a rubber mat on the floor of the truck.
To me those are the 2 major drawbacks on these phones. Super slippery and they crack if you look at em the wrong way.
I'd love to meet the genius who decided that the device most of us handle 1,000 times a day should be made entirely of glass. You'll love the phone but buy a case when you buy the phone. You'll thank me later.
Also as a side note. If you manage to Crack the back of the phone it cannot be repaired...sooo.. that's a thing too.
I realized how much Samsung was giving for a s23u and decided I should trade mine in.
This change in shape and the new front glass are incredible.
If you're paying 1500+ for a phone it BETTER perform FLAWLESSLY
Life is not perfect itself
Phone is literally on sale every month... bought mine for like $980... because of a credit card promo...

@erickreyes7902 where from?
If u want absolute best camera s24 ultra isnt for u better of with dslr, if u want best battery s24 u again isnt the choice, go for one of those bulky bricks of a phone with 6-10k mah batteries, if u want fastest charging then its better to go with budget androids that have 100-240 watt charging, if u want smoothest ui u can stick with stock android like that on pixel or ios but but if u want the best versatile phone there is the phone with everything then s24 ultra might be it Best ever display, one of the best cameras, one of the best battery timing, one of the best ui if not the best, best looking too in my opinion and waterproofing then s24 ultra is the only chocie
No need for DSLR, Iphones and Pixels are pretty great for point and shoot photography (and every other Samsung competitor). Samsung can't/won't solve basic things, like shutter lag, terrible processing, HDR...
I agree very much with this review about it being worth it or not. I'd like to get the S24+ instead, but it comes with Exynos in my region (Brazil). Only the S24U comes with Snapdragon 8 Gen3 here.
The alternative would be the much more well priced S23+, but August 2nd is my b-day and I wanted to splurge on a top tier smartphone to swap my Galaxy A51 for and keep it for years.
I switched from iPhone 15 pro back to android samsung s24 ultra , and my experience so far is amazing, I love screen , the 5x zoom replacing the 10x was a conscious decision, I find the phone gave me a better experience and value over the iPhone
Good that you mention about the PWM
I honestly wish Samsung offered the s24 ultra in the same exact size as the standard s24 with all the glitz and bells and whistles but unfortunately they don't and it seems like everybody wants a huge giant phone whereas I would prefer a standard size powerhouse unit but they don't make them anymore 🤬 it would also be great if Samsung would bring back the infamous and legendary old fashioned jack port back on the phone as in my opinion it was a great feature that is no longer available! Sure they have amazing wireless devices that are high end quality that are wireless and chargeable and very convenient but in my opinion nothing beats the old school wired system! I absolutely loved the option of having a wired port system as well as wireless one.... SAMSUNG bring it back 💪😎👍 and build a small powerhouse unit with all the options of the s24 ultra! People will buy it! I will buy it!
Same me too just like smaller pixel 9 pro. Im considering trading 24U for base S25 during preorder as i always want compact phone. Actually wanted S24 compact size but uses shit exynos so im forced to get 24U with snapdragon chip. S25 will use mediatek or gen 4 that has good efficiency unlike s24 exynos.
Do you think its worth trading in?
bigger= better

I got a case for my s24 ultra and do I need to buy something to protect the camera?
Hi,
I have noticed that the frame around the 50MP periscope telephoto camera on my phone is slightly tilted, approximately 5-7 degrees off from the vertical or relative to the phone's vertical edge. This seems like it could be an assembly issue during production.
Could other users with a 50MP periscope telephoto lens check their cameras for any similar tilt in the frame relative to the vertical or phone edge? I’d appreciate any feedback on this.
Thank you!
Im very happy with my Galaxy S24 Ultra. It's amazing powerful beautiful smartphone. Love you Samsung 4K
It's a good jack of all trades, master of none kind of device. Hopefully some slightly more advances is added to the mix next iterations.
my biggest issue is camera, specially when i photo people. it enhances every little thing on their/my face and it can be very bad. plus, it always makes face too light. when i look at ppl before taking pics, it looks realistic and i would like it that way but it process it as i don't want. i tried every advice but doesn't help. everything else is 100/100 but because of a camera, i wouldn't pay it so much anymore.
Weird of people faces, terrible processing and shutter lag. Issues that have been present on Samsung phones for years now
Totally agree with your point with regards to the camera. For everyday shots, the smartphone absolutely all day long. But if you're going to be taking photos at important events such as weddings and things like that, especially if you were doing it as a favour for someone, you would NOT be using a smartphone. That's just fact. You would use a dedicated camera for that. Other than that though, I am looking to upgrade my s20+ so I think this would be awesome.
S24U can't deliver decent (not great - decent/usable) pictures of moving subjects. So you end up with blurry pictures of kids, pets, anything with even slight movement. Noone wants/expects pro camera quality, but if you look at what Iphone or Pixel can do, it's clear how far Samsung is behind

How you get 2 days battery?? Mine is just single days with just 5 hours of SOT
Same here
My average screen time on smartphones is 1-3 hours per day. Also, I should have mentioned a lot of things can cause battery life to be wildly different. Certain apps drain the battery faster, screen brightness, whether you’re on WiFi or not, there are a lot of factors that can affect battery life which is why I was mainly comparing it to other phones I’ve used with the same apps and general setup etc. - Josh
My S24 ultra is on 10% right this minute, having not charged it since a day and a half ago.
I'm also a battery need so I'm constantly monitoring which apps run in the background, and shutting them down/disabling them. My phone screen averages ON about 3 hours a day. I don't game on my phone.

How’s the shutter lag? Im currently using iPhone 13 but a little hesitant as I have heard mixed reviews
All Samsung devices I have ever used including their point and shoots suffer from shutter lag, the only Samsung camera I have liked would be the Note Edge so long ago lol
Got the S24U as my work phone but ive caught myself using it more than my iPhone 15PM, such a good all around phone !
Buying the absolutely high end latest Samsung flagship as your work phone is wild. It's such overkill.
Sorry but those "overly focused" shots the Samsung takes over that Fuji thing, are so much better. Can never have "too much" focus.
I'm at about six months of usage too. The S Pen is almost a daily driver for for me. Note taking is a must for my life style.
Thanks for the video. 🤙🏽
3:48 The "over-sharpening" is due to the camera sensor in the phone having poorer dynamic range compared to the Fuji
I mostly agree with your comments, like not using the AI features as much as I thought I would, and also the S-pen. I still think it's a nice addition to have "just in case," but yeah, I used it like 3 times since I bought the S24U a few months ago. So, I agree with you saying you'd trade it off for less weight and less bulkiness. I found the weight, the size, and the bulkiness of the S24U to be the biggest downside of the phone, and I still kind of can't get used to it when comparing it to my previous phone which was like half of the weight and much thinner. I do appreciate the quality and the size of the display, though, so there's a trade-off. As far as the camera quality is concerned, I can agree with occasional oversharpening, but honestly, the camera system on the S24U is a beast, and I'm happy with like 98% of the shots. I think it'd also be worth mentioning the Expert RAW camera feature, which gives you a whole lot of possibilities if you know how to use it properly. I've never really felt like needing to use a proper camera, unless you're like a professional photographer or something.
I went to buy the 24 ultra and walked out with S24 plus why because all I wanted was a new decent phone for calling and taking pictures
A few days ago I purchased this phone, and I will have it delivered soon. I believe it won't disappoint me (I am switching from old Mate 20).
For a good portrait, I don't take 18 meg pixel picture, like you are saying. My picture must be at least 48 meg pixels.
Now it has been over 7 months, the S24 ultra is still beating any iPhone out in the market.
I have no problem with having no user replaceable batteries as long as they dont charge stupid amounts for a change. People need to realize that dust/waterproof ratings would be impacted by having different type of seals, and also structural integrity would be impacted by making the phone easily open-able for average user.
Hey I recently bought it and I just wanted to know one thing
Can you put the s pen upside down
By upside down I mean when you unboxing for the first time the button is facing downwards meaning it is facing towards the camera (the button is on the back side)
Is it reversible meaning can I put the button side up (can I insert the pen where the button is towards the screen meaning the button is on the screens side)
Well said. If I really want a proper camera I would default to a handheld camera. Nowadays even mid range phones are producing great photos and videos.
Lol when he was saying who the phone is not for it was like he was saying this is the phone for you. Im convinced. I will buy it.

Yeah, fuck that I purchased the iPhone 15 Pro Max and then a few months later I got the galaxy S24 ultra, and dare I say that I actually like my Samsung galaxy S24 ultra a lot better. I love the stylus. I love the big screen, and the apps that it offers considering I do have a Gmail account
Im actually into compact phones and want s24 but it uses exynos so im forced to get 24U since pre order.
Is it worth trading 24U for base S25 as it'll use dinensity or snapdragon chip that has good efficiency
Two other features that are worth buying the S24 Ultra:
1) 50X ZOOM which can read a license plate 1/10 mile away.
2) Supports 6 GHz Wi-Fi channels which can do 1 Gigabit downloads.
Watched a phone review video and not a single word was mentioned about the call quality and voice quality of the phone. Also, why are you comparing an innate camera with a phone camera? Apples to oranges man. People do not buy phones only to take photos. They buy them for other stuff too. If you want to take insanely clear, sharp pictures, then a dedicated camera is what you want. This video was mildly annoying because of those two things alone.
Im planning to buy either the 23U or 24U.
Is it still better to buy 23U at $800 or get the 24U at $930?
I'm thinking the 24. I believe they have longer support lifecycle starting with that generation. Worth a little research.
I love My S24U, however, on a heavy use, battery barely lasts around 6-8 hrs the most!
Get off your phone...

Just got the s24 ultra 2 days ago. Best phone I've ever had. Love it.
Just picked up the S24 ultra for free with promotion with T mobile switch from ATT. It is very nice like you reviewed.
Have the 15pm and S24U. Only time I use the iPhone is when there's a chance of damage to the phone..it's the one to take the bullet.
Also owned a pixel 8pro this year.. garbage..no comparison.
Had OnePlus12 and I would've kept that over the 15pm..camera is so much better than the others.
But the Ultra is overall excellent and that anti glare screen + the design makes it my favorite device ever.
Solid review fella
For clarification, is the OP12 better than 15PM and S24u camera wise?
@@eihabhani5941 both of them. And it wasn't close. For further clarification, I am not a photo guy..I never tinker or fiddle with settings. Pull up the phone, use the camera app, shot. One plus is clearly nicer, especially in low light and with background images.
I loved samsung when they had the pop off back cover and you could pop in a new battery
The S Pen seems useful to me while marking PDF/Images on the go. Also, sometimes editing images.
I think most consumers are not photophiles who nitpick about those types of details. They just want some memories captured for future reference, and any modern phone will do just that.
Thank you for the review. Got mine today.

HOLD UP , THESE SHOTS WHERE TAKEN AT CARY PARK NC. Bruh you bad from there? THATS AWESOME!
Might be the first Android/Samsung phone Apple users do not want to argue about
I do understand why people want a good camera, but let's be honest: Apart from photographers and "Pixel Counters" a regular person can't tell the difference between a Samsung XXX XXX and a Nokia Lumia 1020 from 2013. Even on a PC Screen. Smartphone Cameras (in Daylight) are good enough for a LONG TIME now.
If you really want to take photos and print them on everything thats a little bit larger, you need a DLSR anyway, since the quality difference is enormous because of the lens.
Traded in my 24u for the fold 6. Am not to finicky about photos so it was ok, my only issue is not having the spen by default which like u said mightve not been needed in the s24u but more for the fold 6 instead.
As someone looking to upgrade from the s22u and debating between the 2 (I watch a lot of stuff on my phone, 12hr shifts at work), I'm assuming the camera quality would be a big drop? I record a lot of videos, etc
I have the A55, and it often feels slow , like it's overwhelmed. That is why I'm thinking if the S24U. (Well, performance as well)
Great video. Straight into the best feature. The new gorilla glass armour.
Was thinking to get this phone for gaming and emulation. But since it was way too expensive and didn't wanted to pay so much money for it, i decided to go for Poco F6, and have no regrets.
So I found the best help for the over processing of images is to go into the gallery settings and turn super hdr off.
Is it worth changing from S22 128gb to S24U 256gb for 890€ on sale!?
I hope you enjoyed Montreal it's my hometown 🙂 Nice honest video thanks for sharing!
Your video came at the right time : was wondering if I should go for this device or not! I am now sure I should 😊. Thank you
Does the processing of the images increase the file size of the image? Im not a techy person but my job requires me to take a lot of pics and email them from my phone. With my S21 I have to dumb down my pic quality by a lot or I can only email a couple pics at a time or the file size becomes too big to send. In the real world Id like to send 4 or 5 pics at a time.
This is more of a review of your personal preferences. Just because you don't use certain features doesnt mean others dont.
One thing I've noticed in mine, is that the phone heats up when using camera stuff. Which I assume is because of AI integration working simultaneously, but I dunno exactly why
Usable photos is unacceptable when s23 ultra is so much better.
Got mine couple of months and it's simply amazing 🎉
I'm an owner of 15 pro max and S24 Ultra.15 pro max beats S24 Ultra in terms of battery and OnePlus 12 as well.
I wish Samsung last longer than an Apple phone.
And one more thing it's rectangular design is not comfortable at all
1:35 .... why would you charge a battery in the 60-70% range?
To not decrease it's efficiency too quickly in long term
To have 100% in the morning. Changing modern phones not at 0% doesn't hurt the battery like old ones.
