[@roylee8114]

​@@xj31sure but you are locked into a 3 year contract...if you plan on sticking with your carrier that's fine but I rather get an outright discount like via Samsung directly.

[@szymon1045]

It's worth to note that S24 Ultra has the most advanced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SOC, but Samsung's software limitation is holding back audio capabilities of the new CPU. No aptX Adaptive support? Seriously? They offer older codecs, even their own SSC, but not the latest tech. Let's demand Samsung unlock our phones potential! #aptXAdaptive #SamsungCommunity Samsung I started this topic on the community page a few days ago and it is getting lots of attention through Samsung Members. Let's make Samsung do something about it, showing that we care about our audio experience on our new flagship Smartphones!! We want to spread the awareness of this problem. Lack of APTx HD / older specs of APTx Adaptive or even LHDC for Lossless Audio that phone supports via FLAC is a problem that Samsung have been skipping since S23 Ultra release ignoring audio enthusiast.

[@kelownatechkid]

Their software is so lazy. They still ship without call recording in canada, even though it's legal federally here, so we have to change CSCs just to use the base functionality.

[@MrModikoe]

Its somethin ive noticed about Samsung, its like they deliberately leave out technical aspects of their phones. Another thing I want to understand is the display..does HDR engine kicks in when watching Netflix? does they native HDR10+ kick in when watching Disney+ ?

[@teedeekay9720]

I believe the reason SAMSUNG is not giving us HD APTX is because their earphones/headphones/earbuds/ do not use the codecs. So, if the give you this codec they believe no one will buy their ear accessories to listen on their AKG engineered products.

[@MrModikoe]

@@teedeekay9720 now question is, why dont their headsets use those codecs??

[@teedeekay9720]

@@MrModikoe it's an ecosystem game. They would not want their accessory to be enjoyed greatly on other devices. You get what I mean here.

[@fedebankai9940]

I guess is a new one,

[@stevanb.2590]

As long as they don't completely remove shutter lag (and motion blur because of it, causing low quality and unusable pictures of moving subjects), we can't really call this "updates". Just minor tweaking that average user won't even notice. Samsungs camera software needs a LOT of changes, the same problems happen each and every year and they don't seem to care about it. Competition solved it a long time ago

[@neilmcguinness4422]

Too true.

[@anongeorge2504]

The blurred moving subjects are always disappointing

[@stevanb.2590]

@@anongeorge2504 yeah, the same problem has been present on every Samsung device, and they seem to ignore it. Unusable pictures of moving subjects are one of the main reasons I gave up on Samsung and sold my S23U. Paying 1500 bucks/euros for "flagship" and then not being able to get decent picture of moving subject just makes no sense. Competition solved it long time ago.

[@dustinwagner1776]

Advanced settings will not show up if you have adaptive color tone turned on.

[@Kris_96]

The vividness is the best thing ever, genuinely the phone felt so dull until the update. I'm so used to having a bright, vivid phone, when they reverted that at the start I was so annoyed because everything felt cold and dull and boring. When the update went through and I changed my settings, joy rushed in me! Not exaggerating, I was so excited and happy, more so than when I got the phone. Colour really does make a big difference!

[@derkoenigvonbayern]

Thanks for taking the time to compare! Also loved seeing that Dbrand case; I ordered one for my S24 Ultra and can't wait for it to arrive.

[@nmeister67]

Ive had the S24U from launch, and im very happy with it overall, with a few caveats. Coming from the S21U, yes the anything past 30x isnt quite as good (which is where I'd say usuable quality stops on both), but i can still use it as a little pocket telescope to read far away signs and such. Weirdly, i find the results better with medium processing with scene optimiser off to stop the AI trying to smooth it. That goes the same for all photos actually, as i prefer the more natural resuts. But yeah, I thought I was going to hate the 5x instead inplace of the 10x, but filling in that massive gap between 3 and 10x was a good call I'd say. What id like samsung to do next is add a 20x periscope to really set them apart from competitors 😂

[@psyrealism6536]

Great update! Thank you so much for putting this together. I wonder if you or anyone else is experiencing battery issues after the last update. My phone seems to lose battery quicker than before the update. My average battery duration went from 1d 19h to 23h 35m which is a significant difference considering my usage hasn't changed much.

[@sledracer-u4t]

This was quite helpful, Eric! I think you should definitely consider making more vids like this one in regards to smaller updates and improvements like these, specially because it's been quite common for Samsung to release such improvements and even add new small features along with security patches.

[@elizabethCorkins83]

I really love my Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra 👌🏻 I pre-ordered it & wanted to have a case for it when I got my phone, There wasn't many options I liked in early January (2024). So, I'm still tryin to figure out what next phone case I wanna have. I miss my old phone case tho cuz I used epoxy to make sure my popsocket was secured to my phone case. It's been awkward not having a PopSocket. The case I have now has some cheap ring type that doesn't do to much. But, I put a wrist lanyard attached to this case for now until I figure out what case I want next. I haven't seen an OtterBox/PopSocket case for the Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra yet.

[@Djoki1]

Im pretty sure its not gonna happen, but i hope us S23U owners can also get some of these improvements. Auto mode in main cam app gives unsatisfying results in my case. Colors are off and there is way too much noise reduction going in some cases. Expert raw gives much better results for some reason, and i got to learn basic photo editing skills.

[@SpaYco]

I didn't miss it, the 100x zoom got better when you try zooming the moon, Found out about it while me and my wife were trying to do the zoom, mine was updated and hers wasn't.

I wish it took clearer photos like the pixel. Maybe in time

[@donnawetter1513]

Still to much issues with this device: Stock camera app: - unsupported resolutions can be selected on all cameras - yet if you select 50MP on the cameras that support it, access to the cameras that can't is restricted, regardless that you can also select 50MP when you are there - object tracking AF is missing when using resolutions higher than 12MP - there is no raw photo support, the dng files created have no highlight and shadow recovery potential when compared against the jpgs - if you disable "adaptive pixel" you can't take 50MP 5x shots in Auto Mode anymore ExpertRAW: - 24MP not working on the 5x camera - probably same dng issues as ProMode

[@HABO2210]

Gotta give you props for doing genuine hard work most youtube reviewers never bother with. A rarity, I say that as a compliment. Nevertheless, if it took you hours to pixel-peep the differences between old and new software, it just shows me that Samsung is doing very poorly with optimising their camera hardware to its highest potential. And believe me, they barely scratched the surface.

[@DienekesShade]

Is the dramatic overprocessing of 50 MP camera finally over? Can't stand how my S24 Ultra performs at the moment. Way worse than my S21 and wife's S23 Ultra. Utterly unusable in auto mode.

The footage you showed of the side by side. Testing the zoom smoothness. I saw a notably clear difference between the 2 footages. You were showing simultaneously on my screen.

[@Primal_Carnivore]

Which update? March?

[@TechisodeTV]

It depends on whether you're talking about the zoom smoothness or the image quality. The image quality gets an improvement, which is shown and discussed in a separate part of the video. But after a few hours of looking at the zoom smoothness, sometimes the old software is marginally better, and sometimes the new software is marginally better. On average, there's no improvement to zoom smoothness, specifically, though :) I hope that clears things up :)

[@xSuspect-7]

Anyone has a problem with video slow motion post recording? For some reason its a hit or miss thing, cant add slow mo in every video

No notable changes to those functions with this update. Though the recent March update does seem to make a slight improvement to battery life.

[@FurryEzio]

I honestly hate the new 5x lens compared to even the old one on my 22 ultra, it replaces the real detail i used to get with an AI guess of what it looks like. I used to love to take pictures of the moon and stars and planets, but because the lens is worse, i only get half the clarity i used to, i cant even get jupiter's moons anymore, because its only zooming in 5x not 10x. That made me feel like galeleo, and now i feel like samsung promised me the galaxy with this last model, and failed to deliver an accurate picture of it.

[@Attractedvirus420]

They still need to fix it randomly opening up something else other than what I have opened or done. Like sometimes when I open an app, instead it opens up News instead or the app drawer. What about a louder, better speaker with impressive sound or an not copying Apple and releasing the next S series with few upgrades that's basically it's prior release. Give us Samsung fans more of a reason to upgrade versus skipping an upgrade because it's just not worth it until the following phone. I love the look of my S24 Uktra but it really isn't much better than the S23 Ultra I skipped for this version. Don't take away what we love or skip on a REAL camera upgrade. This isn't something samsung will see but maybe you can make a video so that Samsung will see it and maybe 10x up Apple more than we already are. Apple fans need to drop Appple and come to the best phone but there are a few things Samsung still doesn't do and that's making an Ultra phone. It should be S24 Max because this is the max they are going to do versus maxing an Ultra phone. I just want to encourage Samsung to do way better because I know they can or maybe they are just out of ideas but either way we need Samsung to be the most sold phone 😊

[@jeffreydouglas351]

Does the s24 ultra still have 3 resolution settings?

I'm assuming you're talking about the stickers you made in the gallery app? If so, here's how you use them: Gallery > tap a photo > tap pencil icon > tap square smiley face with pencil icon > tap "stickers" > tap the gallery icon at the bottom left. You can also create new stickers from here. If you want to create a sticker of a cutout to send directly, just long press the item you want to cut out from the main photo (not in the editor). When the image gets cut out, then tap share. Or you could tap the three dots then tap "save as image" so you can always come back to it later. I hope that helps!

I'm really disappointed with the S24 Ultra. The night photos are especially bad - the S23 Ultra took much clearer and brighter pictures at night. But the most annoying issue is the video playback.
