Yesterday I ordered Note20 Ultra 512 GB version with Snapdragon. Now I have the S24 Ultra 1TB for which I paid €1800 but I hate it. It gets easily scratched. 100% of the time in official case and still gets scratched ""titanium"" sides while in the case, also the screen has microscratches. I miss my previous phone. Didn't use any of the gimmicky AI features even once during the last 8 months so nothing interesting on S24U for me except raw power but it's so fragile and ugly that for the first time ever I'm "downgrading" my device but I feel like I'm upgrading.

I had a Motorola phone since then the iphone 8+, it was good but not great in my opinion. I got bored with iOS limitations, just my opinion. This is the closest alternative to the iphone to me. Has that premium build still, has the promotion display just called something different on Samsung, big screen if not bigger, & costs much less then the iphone 13 pro max but offers more that I care about.

I actually have the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and you definitely had gotten a defected model because my phone is super fast, smooth, snappy, sharp, and consistent across the board. It never lags, stutters, or has even an occasional hiccup. Its always a fluid experience everday for me. It's also a lot smoother than any iPhone I've ever had as well and since the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is one of the best processors ever made for a smartphone I'm quite sure anyone without a defected version of the phone will tell you it's WAY more "consistently smooth" than it's 3 year old predecessor.
