Galaxy S24 Ultra: After all the HYPE // 8 Months Later!

I'm using the s24 ultra currently and work Healthcare myself. But if I'm honest, most doctors I see use iphone. Almost every nurse I see uses iphone too. I just traded my 15 pro max to my daughter for her s24 ultra and kind of regret it. Simply for the camera though as I love everything else about this s24 ultra.

I love my S24 ultra anti glare coat. But the thing is when you apply a glass protector above it for extra protection then these reflection comes back as protection glass is reflective...

[@iLuseMy1v1s]

[@xhorizon0819]

You're gonna rock your phone with no screen protector then? Because once you put one on the glare comes back. I have had the s24 ultra since launch and always kept a screen protector on it so I never got to take advantage of that. I would rather the protection then fking up my screen. So its honestly pointless to have unless you don't care about your screen.

[@BAbivaJr]

Might be the only one who says this, but I like the rectangular design with sharper corners on my s24 ultra.

[@hjb2tube]

you're not alone! There are MANY people who love the squared corners. I'm so used to it that when I look at my S20FE its corners seem a bit strange. I hope the S25 will keep the squared display with very minimal rounded corners only in the frame.

It's better to have the S-Pen and not need it rather than need it and not have one. I often use the S-Pen to take real-time notes. Such as phone number on a recorded message. Bonus: Samsung Notes app converts written notes to a text format. Foe me the S-Pen is a game changer in comparison to other phones.

After switching, from years of using Google phones, including Pixel series, to a Samsung S24U, I could not be more relieved to find the multi-window and other extensive features and configuration options found, not to mention the phone is more stable than any previous Pixel I've ever had. It finally feels like a configurable phone should feel, I avoided Samsung for LagWiz, and it seems to have finally grown up/out of the slowdowns and lags, mostly.

TouchWiz is infinitely better, more full of character and much less bloated than OneUI. Try running OneUI on an A-series after a few years. You'll see it's slow.
