Galaxy S24 Ultra: A Practical Review

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is a top notch device, making it my current favorite smartphone. From its design, to its screen, to its software, to Samsung's new AI features with Galaxy AI, this device is among the best of the best.

Team thanos checking in. I love mine. I was forced to get the violet and even love that now. The dark plum purple looks so much different in person than the pictures and vids. Everything about the phone is a breath of fresh air coming from my couple months with an iPhone.

Titanium Purple colour is one of the nicest due to the nice contrast of the titanium coloured frame and the dark purple back

Upgraded from S21 ultra, and my favorite, and I believe underrated feature, is the dual record. As someone who likes shooting videos of my family, one of the common strategies is to get a wide establishing shot and a close up to get the expression. This makes it so much easier. BTW, night photography is incredible now. Maybe not from s23, but from s21u, it's super noticeable

[@patriciaangel7795]

Awesome review Parker! Just got my titanium blue S24 Ultra and I love it! Battery on my S22 Ultra wasnt so great and this one is lasting me more than a day. The other features was worth an upgrade for sure. Flat screen heck yeah

[@Erokhin1771]

Parker, you forced me to switch to an s24 ultra from 14 pro max and man, I'm loving every second of it. Just got it yesterday and can't stop exploring it. I tried switching from an iPhone to Samsung before but it wasn't my thing, now it feels like I've been using Samsung my whole life. Easy and simple switch. I still have my iPhone 14 pro max and will continue to use it for my business and work, but Samsung just became my favorite one for personal use and I don't think I'll ever go back to IOS, ever!

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

When you're holding it, it's like you're not even using a 1/4 of its power! It's just so smooth & I put an AM Flim Glass Screen Protector on mine & oh so easy. Especially with the alignment case Fingerprints, S-Pen, etc. just work fine. It does show a little glare, but the screen is so bright, no worries 👍 I really love how the "Black" is really a Titanium Dark Grey..

I'm upgrading from the galaxy a42 and I'm so excited to use it.

[@bigboydownstairs9651]

Haha same here man! My S24U arrived last week and I'm in love! You are NOT going to regret it! For starters the battery literally lasts 2x as long and charges so much faster, I had no idea lol! The phone itself feels sooo much more premium and stronger with the significantly more durable screen and titanium body! It's the most durable Samsung ever made, and probably the most durable smart phone from any flagship out right now! I mean i covered my A42 with a case and the screen still cracked multiple times from accidental drops. Whereas I do NOT ever have to worry about my S24 Ultra's screen breaking from waist level drops even without a case! This phone is a tank! Additionally I'm blown away by all the new upgrades and new features for each generation that I've been missing out on this whole time 😅! Not to mention all the major software updates we've now been missing out on too... Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved my A42! But the S24U has just made my A42 feel significantly outdated to the point where i can't ever even imagine going back to only using that phone now! How you finding the upgrade man?

[@hamiltonfungula63]

I'm just waiting for the first software update that will fix the vivid color issue, enhance the cameras performance and the overall phone.

[@coreypriest888]

My s24 ultra takes pics just like the 14 pro max but even more detailed simply insane. Had to go with the titanium gray 512gb.

Does yours not get warm at all? It seems that using like, Telegram or KZbin is heating my phone up. I've only had it a few days so far so maybe the battery is just getting used to my usage patterns?
