This is the first time in many many months that I felt compelled enough to log into YT so that I could leave a comment. I've watched a TON of S24 videos and this one takes the cake! Your amazing observations are so meaningful and other creators simply gloss over or completely ignore. Can't believe with such a quality review, you don't have 1 million subs. You're getting my upvote and sub today with many thanks. I look forward to more tech reviews in the future. You have the knack for this and keep 'em coming! BEST S24/S23 COMPARISON ON YT!

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!

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!

Watched all 33.5 minutes! I appreciate all your hard work in putting this together. A much deserved liked and subscribed!

Yes please do a social media comparison 🙏🏼

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

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

Nice camera review and much needed for us S23 Ultra aficienado's! Overall, great indepth review. Appreciate it so so much!

Im excited, receiving mine this Friday

Very helpful thx!

Great video, top quality content. Great channel. Keep it up!

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.

thanks for clearly explaining. the best comparison video I found on YT.😇

Excellent descriptive video... 👍🏻

Hey there great work I have just discovered you recently and found you on UKposts from my perspective I feel that the biggest change with the device is certainly the flat display I absolutely love it and would not return to a curved edge display alongside the camera for me doesn’t really matter in the sense that I’m never really going to compare the two devices side-by-side. You’re doing a great job. It’s always very insightful to watch your work.

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.

This is the kind of comparison I am looking for. This is an impressive work that gives me a new perspective on the improvements that Samsung made with its latest flagship smartphone. I love the details you are explaining as I haven't received that from other UKposts channels.

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

Great comparison! New sub

Detailed work there ❤

Can you share the pictures that were captured in this video during demo of shutter speed? Would like to see how the motion blur is handled in the processed photo!

Excellent video! Thank you!

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.

So what’s it like with all the settings in default or max not prioritising focus speed etc more quality. Also does the super hdr only work with Samsung shots or any photos because it only says galaxy devices. I mean like other photos sent to you or you have etc.

Nice review and comparison!

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.

When you check the photo meta data does it not have super hdr data or does it just change the display to view the image of so wouldn’t be good to send if the other didn’t have a hdr display for what ever reason

Excellent review. I'd like to watch this same review remade from the perspective that the user is going to put a good case and a screen protector, on day one. I would have liked to have seen more side-by-side display comparisons. Still, this is one of the very best S24 Ultra reviews on UKposts.

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!

Once again this is the only video on you tube that actually functionally points out the real differences. Answers almost all my burning questions when I'm left with any other video. This same comparison and camera comparison done between Galaxy and iPhone would be out of this world. Dying to see a video like this comparing the 2 cameras especially. I also don't subscribe to anyone. Subscribers are not given, but earned, and this type of comparison without the fluff makes it earned.

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.

Best comparison ever... very good points, just what I was looking for.

Very nice review. Actually, the best I've seen. Thanks.

You should do testing inside also, I got both devices. Just did the update for the 24U, the color change when using the 5x is still there. If you take shots inside for example with natural sunlight coming in shadows in corners there's a green hue to the shadows. I think I'm going to return the 24 and keep the iPhone, love the 24 but the camera is too inconsistent

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.

Very well done comparison. everything detailed. This is how they should all be side by side.

Incredible video! Great review, i got both of them and 24 is the winner by a good margin.

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 .

Hi. Is auto lens switching enabled or disabled when you do the camera comparisons? Thanks

Wow the S24 Ultra really is better especially for your nighttime camera comparisons

Great video, thank you! I have the S21U, and have no issues with it. I don't game on it, rarely watch videos, use it mostly for emails for work, and photos. It's a good deal to upgrade to the S24U, think it's worth it if my phone isn't having any issues?? Not a big fan of the AI aspect, so don't want to pay for something I prob won't be using. TIA

Fantastic review. Especially the much needed one. 5x vs 10x optical zoom. It's relevance in terms of quality.

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.

This is the best s24 ultra review I have seen so far. Thank you.

Great review

Is the fold 5 your primary phone?

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.

I much appreciate the both thorough and thoughtful (sorry about the tongue-twister!) review. For me, though I appreciate that the upgrades to the S24 Ultra may not be dramatic (except some of the added AI features), as a content creation professional, they add up to enough for me to upgrade. In fact, from long experience, I have come to trust incremental improvements in hi tech products more than revolutionary ones, which can be plagued with problems. BTW, I do enjoy and value your in-depth, practical approach. And also your admirable ability to bring out issues that cannot easily be summarized but are nevertheless worth mentioning, such as the differences in photo processing. You give a good idea of what that is all about (giving the example of the added golden hues in grassy areas) but leave it somewhat open-ended, as something to be aware of.

I personally think s23 ultra is KING

Hows the 4g/5g reception on the s24u?

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?

Merci pour ce test, j'aime les améliorations du S24 Ultra mais ce n'est pas suffisant pour remplacer mon S23U. Il aurait fallu avoir du Log et du ProRes, que fait Samsung ? 🤔

Depends on trade in prices

Great review. How is the 5x zoom in note 20 ultra and s24 ultra?

Migliore recensione del reparto fotografico di s24 ultra,in tutta youtube;complimenti👍🏻😎

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.

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?

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.

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 👍😊

I have s22 ultra exynos chip shoult i upgrade ?

You do such a nice review, social media would be much appreciated!

8:44 why not use burst mode in these cases...? 🤔

Question please… It wasn’t the capture speed for me.. it’s the motion blur on photos of my kid and dog that made me revert back to iPhone… has this been addressed with the shutter fix?

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.

Will the S23 ultra get the A I updates.

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 ?

Sweet. Will be upgrading late 2024 and will pick one of these up when the price goes down. Got my s21 in the beginning of 2022 so almost a 3 year upgrade but my only reason for upgrading is the fact that there's no more sd card expansion which is stupid imo. Will get a 512gb to make up for it

You said it is a bit wider cause the display is a bit wider..ao the aspect ratio is a bit different? Thanks

Would like to see analysis of call quality and coverage on s24 ultra vs s23 ultra. It's a phone too! Lol. I'm seeing some reports titanium is causing some issues there.

Best video in internet... On s24 ultra.... Thanks a lot for this video...

can you post more photos of 50mp 5x with peoples faces? whats the natural bokeh of it? thanks

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.

Question. Is it possible for Samsung to produce an ARMOUR GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR IN THE FUTURE. FOR OTHER GALAXY PHONES?

Hi. I have S23U, and my complain is that when I record 4k video, the colors look oversaturated and washed out. Would you confirm if colors are more natural when recording video with S24U?

9:38 aren't those pics traded, i mean, the pics of s23u seems better than s24u. Please confirm that to me

At the time of first viewing this video, I had an S24U on order. Now, I've had it about a week and, Holy moly Batman! It's an awesome phone. Coming off an S23+, it was the fastest conversion of any phone yet, using Smart Switch. App updates (over WiFi) took on average, only 5 seconds each. Moving media from old to new was way faster. I had about 140GB of data to move and the whole operation took about an hour. Two, to get the whole thing set up. It's almost the same physical size as my S23+, so no size issues. I use an Ailiber belt clip/holster case, which has kind of a diamond plate textured material on it, so is very grippy. I haven't put a screen saver on yet, because it has to be anti-reflective or you could kill the "matte" performance of the screen. The camera is awesome! BTW, a major system update came out on 2/22 which fixed the "vivid display" issue, which now has a slider in the settings. I've only got started playing with the camera, but it takes impressive photos. Especially 50MB & 200MB. The language translation features are fantastic. I've had the S pen out a few times but haven't taken a deep dive yet. All in all, I couldn't be happier! It's like a handheld computer....Oh, wait...😊

Hey Daniel, S24 ultra question. When I try to take night mode pictures with a sky in the frame, it looks good before it gets processed and then completely bauks and has terrible banding in the sky, over saturated, too bright and more. Let me know your experience😊

Also would be cool to do a watch comparison between Apple Watch Ultra Vs. The best Samsung Watch

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

S25 ultra should be a lot better for a upgrade to me.❤❤❤

Im assuming the anti-glare properties are lost when installing a screen protector, can anyone confirm?

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?

My partner is waiting patiently for his s24 ultra to arrive, hes upgrading from the s21. Hes not that into tech but me on the other hand. Im waiting very impatiently for it to arrive, i hope he lets me have a go and show him all the cool things it can do. Ive got the fold 5 😅

Can we turn off the A.I. option?

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.

Im user of s23 ultra and I just bought s24U , battery life, fast charging 45 watt ( not mentioned in any review I saw) anti glare screen , IA functionality, much more RAm just that is worth upgrading. i think most depends from money , if you fill that it will not drain your wallet and you love innovation and progress than upgrading is a thing for you. Last 20 years I change my smartphone for new better and every year I followed the technological news and innovations, this year I think we have biggest progress in like last 5 years, from year to year. Remember when people discuss only camera island position or notch shape, now we have many upgrades.

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.

It's possible to even out the bezels without ditching the curves. It's pressure from UKpostsrs that made them ditch the curves which we love so much

And, if I may add. Photo differences will only be noticed in a direct comparison. With phones side by side.

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 ❤️❤️🙌

That anti-reflective coating I keep hearing about is that what we have to put on ourselves that's coming free with the order? Since there's 2 of them I'm wondering if we've got to do it ourselves?

How good is living on the Gold coast 👌 there's no better place in my opinion. Love the work mate, it's good to see someone local doing so well on here.

Yeah, no good trade-in deals in Romania. Gonna wait for the s25 or s26, gonna save up till then.

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 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.

Best S24 ultra review I’ve seen.

Amazing video¡¡¡¡¡¡

Thank you , sub button activated...nicely done top notch info... Currently using S 20 plus ,looking forward to the upgrade on Jan 26

So. Keep the s23 or update now or, wait for the S25?
