Additional review notes:
This is the brand new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and even though it looks like one of the best phones from 2023, there are some major upgrades, and actually a couple downgrades. There are 4 things you need to know about this phone
1 - Flat Display
Still 120Hz, QHD+ dynamic amoled 2x display
Still 6.8”
Nearly identical in size and weight to last year
Four Colors + online exclusives
2- CAMERAS
12MP front facing like last year
12MP ultrawide like last year
200MP wide camera like last year
10MP 3x optical like last year
BUT the 10x optical was replaced with a 5x
This was 10x 10MP and is now 5x 50M = 12.5MP at 10x
3 - Samsung baked AI features into the phone, with 4 main ones that stood out to me
There is an AI button throughout the UI now
i) Circle to search
ii) Chat enhancement (translate, change tone, check spelling/grammar)
ii) Translation in calls, text, voice recordings, etc. For example, Voice recorder transcribes, separates by speaker, and adds to notes - easily translated to other languages
iii) AI summarizer, (also auto format, spell checker, and translation in Notes)
Specs -
Snapgradgon 8 Gen 3
Now all models have 12GB RAM and 256-1TB storage
Battery is still 5000mAh
Same 45W charging speed, same wireless charging 2.0, and reverse wireless charging
Now has WiFi 7 compared to last year’s 6E
Still Bluetooth 5.3
Still IP68 water resistant
4 - 7 years of security updates and 7 generations of OS updates

512gb starting point is pretty cool, I have a s20+ holding onto it because of the sd card. slightly easier for me to finally justify going for a 512gb model if it's the starting point. I wanna see the online exclusive orange color in real life

@reverend_wintondupree 3 місяці тому

It's unfortunate though unsurprising that Samsung no longer offers the physical expandable storage. That and the headphone jack is why I'll keep my S10+ until it dies.

@marcusciantar3407 3 місяці тому

I'm in the same camp with an s20+ 128gb model, and I gotta say that as a power user who always keeps an sd card for additional storage, I was really disappointed tonsee them remove the feature. That said, I so often get corrupted photos on my sd card that honestly, I appreciate the advantages to integrated storage. I'm going for the 512gb option with the free upgrade from the 256gb

@CerdurTV 3 місяці тому

@marcusciantar3407 corruption issues might've been why they dropped support, I bet people were trying to record 8k video onto a low-quality SD card, they don't wanna be responsible for cheap SD cards failing

S23 price was dumb last year (ufs 3.1 for 800 bucks) and is dumb again thus year (compared to S24+ for sure) I hope after loosin a tonna market share Samsung will finally roll out a true flagship killer and FE phone after the S20FE this year to gain soma it back. Here's the formula: S24+ platform (plastic build np tho), 1080p display (preferably with high pwm and touch sampling rates), SD8g2/exynos 2400, S23FE cameras and 599 startin price. "Ur welcome, I'll take 30 percent."

@qelfan9711 3 місяці тому

@David-kl4kn as someone in the phone industry for over a decade, I can tell you that what you want and what they will do will never happen. The FE line is not supposed to he a flagship killer. It's a mid year market replacement. Designed to give people a cheap alternative to the current flagship, get the feel that it's a "new phone" not last years "old one", and allow them to repurpose old hardware. Additionally, pricing on phones has remained basically static for 5 years, despite inflation drastically increasing costs everywhere. The only surprise I have each year is when prices don't go up. An $800 galaxy s10e, to an $800 s24, really the s24 should be $900+

You state, ",,, if you're getting the Galaxy anything Ultra you're probably doing it because you really want... to be using the pen..." Don't get me wrong. I like the pen. I don't use it a great deal but try to get into sometimes because I know it could be useful. However, I would bet that most people who get the Ultra get it on account of the cameras (first) and the large screen (second). The processor and storage are big items, too, and I suspect many of the rest are looking at those as well. There are those coming from the Galaxy Note that see it differently, but I believe those people are in the minority. Fortunately, you don't really lose much by keeping the pen, and I am glad it is there for if and when I might get to using it more often. The precision it affords over clumsy fingers is undoubtedly an advantage, one that I would like to make use of more often, whether it is with the keyboard or photo editing, for example. (There are other uses, but I find the use as a remote somewhat gimmicky.) I believe it is widely underutilized, even by me.

@jokast8861 3 місяці тому

Hey thx for your input! Id say its fair enough for US users getting non ultra as all models are SD3. But worldwide users still use exynos for non ultra thats known for issues. hence for exynos markets imo, either get base s24 (small screen is only for premium phones) or ultra for SD3. As plus model price is alrdy close to ultra. Might as well go all in for ultra

@TimothyChase 3 місяці тому

@@jokast8861 I had the one point that I disagreed on, which as a matter of human psychology I suppose naturally became my focus rather than the points of agreement. (My apologies.) With respect to the rest of the review, I thought it was well-organized, touched all of the main points, and in a few cases highlighted how different tools could be used at different points in a process of quickly getting a complex task done. Being a cat lover, I liked the example of circle to search you used. Given how useful people are likely to find this feature, other examples might be included: circling a food dish to find out what its called, the recipe with which to make it or restaurants one might get it at, circling an item of clothing so that you might find where you can buy it, circling the image of a building to find its name, location and history. From what I am seeing, a lot of what this phone can do is stuff that could be done before but only as part of a complex process. This phone makes so much of it seamless and effortless. AI is so often the latest gimmick used to get people to buy things. In contrast Samsung's guiding principle appears to be the utility of the tools and toolset. I subscribed yesterday, and I am looking forward to your in depth review.

I have the S22U and decided to bite the bullet and pre-ordered the 512 GB S24U in Titanium Blue. It was $600 and I got free Galaxy Buds 2 pro which I will sell since I already have a pair. The trade-in deals aren't anywhere as good as for the S22U where you got $1000 off and the new phone was only like $200-250). One thing I really don't like about modern Samsung phones after the Note 10 series is the very washed colors that don't look good. I'd love for Samsung to make a Navy blue or forest green phone but oh well I guess. A Dbrand teardown skin will have to do.

I have the note 10 plus and my phone is fine but i decided upgrade for the s24+ while the trade in vaule is still good for my phone other than getting a lesser amount if I wait another year.

@zmcdaniel24 3 місяці тому

Or the s pen

@hienho15 3 місяці тому

Samsung saving Grace is really their trade-in deals and discounts. Honestly the s lineup can go back to the s21 and still be a great phone without having to upgrade. Most of the stuff that people use on their phones hasn't changed much or at all for the past 3 to 4 generations. When you look at camera comparison I see no difference between the s21 s22 s23 or the s24. In fact I thought the s22 ultra takes better picture than the s23. And when I look at some of the comparison to the s24 I thought that the new s24 ultra takes the same pictures as the s23 ultra. With AI I don't use it at all. I don't alter any of my pictures like the one demonstrated. The only reason why I am getting the s24 ultra is because of the great deal I am getting. To be honest the s24 ultra this year is not mind blowing impressive.
