Is EMMA right in calling me an iSheep??

[@hienho15]

I feel this battle of iPhone vs Samsung is over blown with butt hurt fanboy's. I always feel if a product works for you then you should be happy with your purchase. It doesn't make you a sheep. I am a Samsung user and it works for me. I tried the pixel and Motorola before and it isn't for me. But other people feel differently and that's fine. Nothing wrong with using what works for you and what you like. The argument between iPhone and Samsung users is childish.

[@frankihatch]

Yes

[@lucaspanasski331]

Cos you are one.

[@Raskullbx]

Yes

[@bunb5728]

Yes

[@Gelo116]

Coming from an 15 pro max to a s24 ultra i can confidently say the s24 camera is much more detailed and sharper in almost every aspect.

[@THEG12EG]

Are you happy leaving iOS? I used used to swap between quite often but recently finding it difficult to swap out the ecosystem. I want a s24 u

[@Kyle-gd6sz]

Agreed! I have both phones and agree

[@The.JZA.]

Did you compare them side by side or just going on gut feeling? I tested the S24 Ultra in the shop vs my 15 PM for normal photos, zoom photos and RAW photos 200MP vs 48MP and I honestly think the iPhone's photos looked way better except for zooming way into the distance where the S24 Ultra looked better.

[@Kyle-gd6sz]

@The.JZA. I work in phone retail every day with customers and it's a daily occurrence when showing examples within in store for them, that the s24 ultra appear far sharper in examples in real time capture.

[@The.JZA.]

@@Kyle-gd6sz Okay, well as I said, I also tried them in store, side by side and my experience was the opposite. I thought the Samsung photos looked grainy, blown out and generally a bit meh. Also the preview looks terrible like 480p or something which is not very pleasant. But hey, to each their own.

[@katinasoutherland7693]

I absolutely Love ❤️ these new videos, this is my 3rd time watching I can’t get enough. Thank you Jason!

[@JSLReview]

Appreciate the feedback and support, trying something new so your comment is super helpful!

[@jevanibardoquillo9671]

How to get your wallpaper?

[@PPLRRN]

Rocking mine without a screen protector. 3 weeks in and no visible scratches. I used to have minor scratches on the first week on my previous phones.

[@JSLReview]

Brave man, what’s the secret to keep the screen scratch free?

[@PPLRRN]

@JSLReview I keep it away from keys, coins, and basically put nothing else in my pocket but the phone. The gorilla glass armor seem to be doing its job. For the back I still have a case as the paint is very thin, I saw a very small scratch on mine.

[@julietidehen4673]

Same with me, my is 8 week's now, but I'm getting my tomorrow.

[@Anton-oy3vm]

Put the iphone cameras on this thing and i will no doubt pick the s24 ultra. But, because I prefer the natural look of the images/videos shot on the iphone, it's such a pain choosing between the two. I'm a long time apple user and am quite bored with the lack of customization and other software features found on android. BUT I've always preferred the image/video quality of the iphone. My last samsung was the s10 and it was inconsistent. Photos taken with a lot of natural light looked great and if there's not much light, image quality was crappy. And I think it's still the same with the s24 ultra having checked out the cameras in store. Playing around with the cameras, it's quite evident that it is shit indoors.

[@JSLReview]

Yeah it’s hard because it’s usually something minor that Apple does extremely well that keeps me with the iPhone, even when the alternative has a lot of fun features.

[@The.JZA.]

You can always edit the photos after they're taken if you want to make the images less saturated etc but some stuff is baked into the photo like sharpness etc.

[@robhughes8516]

@@The.JZA.with iPhone there is no need to edit pics, just post and shoot and you get great snaps, s24U takes waaaay to much work to get a lesser quality pic.

[@grandioseg]

production quality is amazing, this thing with digital assistant is really cool and original. Please keep at it!

[@ishkiintylxr]

I recently picked up a S24 Ultra too for my second phone when they came out. I had not used an android for over a decade and at first I was overwhelmed... after about 2 weeks I had finally set it up perfectly and comfortably for me to use. I did my best making the Ultra my main phone but there are a few things I needed my iPhone... Apple Pay being the main thing. But I loved the Ultra, the screen and cameras a welcome change but overall it was mainly used for scroll through my socials. Anything else it was quicker for me to finish up on my iPhone, the ease of task.

[@JSLReview]

Thanks for sharing! Yeah it's a great phone IMO but I'm like you, there are just a few things I need my iPhone for

[@ShaneMcG7855]

May I ask what your issue was with google pay. I presume you had issues if you prefer Apple Pay??

[@myya8370]

Really liked your intro. Super refreshing 🙂

[@JSLReview]

Appreciate the feedback, trying something new!

[@marwanmohammed5240]

I think you missed a lot of customization features , one of the main reasons for me to get s24 ultra is the new level of customization you can get on this device , thing you don't see very often in apple phones

[@evolicious]

"I'm not an isheep!" He says while comparing a far superior device as inferior, purposely only showing s24 content and not 15pro max content side-by-side because it would degrade his delutions.

[@vronnysinsv]

My thoughts exactly lmao

[@SQ773]

Have it since 5 days now and coming from the S23 Plus. 1st day i had to get used to it,size,phone in the hand,but now,with Nova Launcher, it's perfect. The screen,well.. everything is amazing. What a beast. Greetings from me, Amsterdam l, The Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@HV55VN]

I found a oneplus 12 16gb 512gb for really cheap so wanted to try it out still keeping my s24u but man the only thing I'm not enjoying on the s24 is the camera everything else is great

[@AlirezaNasibi]

I wonder how you don't notice the orange skin tone iphone is showing you in selfie camera! It's very clear and known issue for iphones to take skin tones wrongly (orange color) for years without any fixes!

[@SuperZap01]

Yeah and they say iphone shots looks more natural 😂. I don't like my selfies on my gf's iphone when we compared it to s24u cus it made my skin tone look unnatural. Even the ambience shots are not close to real life colors due to over vibrancy. Yeah i look good on the photos, but the colors are not natural.

[@SunlightMurderMystery]

I don't think you are being biased at all. I totally agree, the S24 Ultra offers alot and is much more exciting to use specially with AI but the iPhone user experience is still a bit more polished. I have the S24 Ultra and I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max as my backup device. You can't go wrong with either phones. Thanks for always coming up with your honest and engaging tech reviews. I'm always on the watch for the next one. :)

[@JSLReview]

Appreciate the feedback and support, glad others can agree that both are great and there’s no “better” choice for most people!

[@acmeprime2273]

lol you complain about using your thumb to use the fingerprint sensor but don’t realize you still have to use your thumb with apple Face ID to swipe up after Face ID, where as the Samsung just opens it.

[@Joker-yu5kp]

Fact

[@mqproductions]

Every review of this phone is by a guy wearing an Apple Watch Ultra. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jgreenhalgh1]

The apple watch ultra is better than any watch I've used I use it with my s24 ultra. It works pretty well except texting doesn't work.

[@justrelaxyouremind]

It doesent work because apple doesent want to work good with other phone​@@jgreenhalgh1

[@pathfinder5651]

"Great introduction, my friend! 🎉🎉 I wanted to inform you that the AI services on the S24 ultra will come to an end next year, and from then on, they will require payment. Do you have any idea which AI areas will be impacted? It's funny to think that they offer 7 years of support, right?"

[@mrmossimop]

Correction, some of the AI features MAY cost AFTER 2025 per Samsung

[@JSLReview]

Thanks for the feedback! I heard about this, still seeing if and when Samsung will turn on the pay wall, it’ll be quite annoying if they do

[@srbell67]

That has not been set in stone yet

[@johnkeelty]

I really think most iPhone user's can't give them up as it's seen as a status symbol!!! The S24 ultra blows it out the water as do quite a few Android phones if we were to be honest. Yes I'm a galaxy user I've dabbled with iPhones I think the hardware is second to none but the software and user experience let's it down. Apple handicap their phones for reasons unknown if they were to open up to features that Android users are used too and take for granted they would be unbeatable. Just my opinion, not a hater!!!

[@JSLReview]

Thanks for sharing!

[@1963julien]

I have both phones and I can tell you the Samsung is good but cannot match the iPhone in a number of areas. Perhaps, the S25 is the phone to wait for

[@lil_nginya]

i think the S24ultra is a cool device...am loving the ai intro

[@JSLReview]

Yeah it's a dope phone, does almost everything right!

[@Sayeretmatqal]

51 billion dollar revenue in Q1. Thats why s24u is the leading smartphone today leading apple.

[@riley1733]

I've had my Galaxy S24 Ultra for almost 3 weeks now. I'm absolutely loving it. Switched from the Galaxy S23 and no regrets. Loved the S23 but I'm loving the S24 Ultra even more. I also like Apple and have had tons of iPhone's in the past but I always find myself wanting to switch back to Samsung whenever I have an iPhone. Samsung has won me over when it comes to phone's. No complaints with my phone so far. It's also my first Ultra. Always had base model Samsung's up until this point but I'm glad I went with the Ultra this time. Fantastic phone all around.

[@weekendwarrior8179]

No iPhone user who is stuck in an ecosystem will ever switch their phone matter how much it works it is compared to a real flagship. iPhone traps you.

[@evolicious]

Apple is a cult. They make old inferior products and market them as innovative and superior.

[@traveldingo]

I switched from iPhone 15 Pro Max to Oneplus Open and there is no way back to that. I even changed my Macbook Pro 16 for an Asus Zenbook Duo 2024 with two screens and I'm just blown by how much the other side has matured compared to Apple.

[@villacurtricias]

I have both. And i'm switching back and forth between the 2. But tbh the apple watch keeps pulling me back. It's so muth better then anything samsung has to offer. I like both devices. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. And that has nothing to do with an ecosystem. Its personal preference.

[@traveldingo]

@@villacurtricias I switched to OnePlus Watch 2 and it's just something else. Also been an apple watch fan until I found this

[@villacurtricias]

@@traveldingo And what watch are using now?

[@arkhale]

Love this review. No one can deny that S24U is a fantastic choice. But I like the bit when you said that it’s the little things that the iPhone does well which keeps you from switching. I prefer this kind of take. Organic instead of being overly technical. It’s more relatable. Keep it up!

[@JSLReview]

Appreciate the comment! I feel as though that’s what it boils down to, and I’m not going to deny that the small things perhaps lock me into staying with Apple more than it makes me want to choose it over something like the s24 ultra

[@favourhussein3802]

Really enjoyed seeing your perspective as a iPhone user! I was able to get the S24 Ultra for $300 off here in Canada during a sale (~$1000 US). It was good timing as well because i had to RMA my pixel 8 pro for the second time 🫤. Really been enjoying it so far.
