went from note 9 to s24 ultra and gawd is this so life changing 😭 worth the wait

Five years difference! That's crazy, hope you are enjoying the new phone

I did too! went from note 9 to galaxy s24 ultra love it! but having a problem getting a full screen when watching my directtv app and streaming. Do any one have suggestions are you experiencing the same thing? Also it was in full screen when I bought it only a month old😢

Here's how I see upgrading at the moment, S23 users don't upgrade waste of money, S22 series users don't upgrade it's not quite time yet, S21 series users only upgrade if you want to or your battery sucks, S20 or older upgrade

[@humblehummingbird8420]

Thank you for this! I’m an iPhone user, but I usually have a hand me down Samsung on stand by. I want to finally move on from what I have now, and I wanted the S23 instead of the S24 because it’s cheaper. Now I know they both basically have the same functionality.

[@ksh6]

I was going to buy s23 Ultra last month because it is so similar and looks more premium with the curved screen. It is also better for gesture navigation. And 10x zoom. But I ended up buying S24 Ultra because I was getting a deal, where it would only be around $180 more expensive. But overall, I liked it. The 5x zoom is now my favourite for portraits. Also love the idea of 7 years updates. My last phone was Poco F1, and I used it for over 5 years and only reason I upgraded was because it fell in a waterfall, then repaired and then performance degraded in few months to the point was it was randomly turning off. And then I cracked the screen in a fall... Phones have hit its peak, so, I think it is good idea to buy the best available, as not much updates are expected in near future. Just look at how similar S21U to S24U was.

[@ancientslav4863]

We need better battery tech, and maybe better speakers

[@marksharp]

Fantastic video mate. I’m moving away from Apple and you have given me plenty to think about. There are some good deals on Amazon for the S23U. I’ve been subscribed for a while now and enjoy seeing the progression of your reviews etc. keep it up mate.

[@naseemspeach]

Thank you bro 🤝🏾😄 keep me updated on if you get one

[@shawbox72]

Awesome video here, and I always enjoy your content. As long as I've had the S23 Ultra, I didn't really feel compelled to jump to the S24 Ultra. That being how crazy Samsung can put out future variants almost overnight. I did find it hard to daily drive the S23U; but the more I studied many reviews on it, I'm glad it still keeps my attention as one of the best flagships out here a year later. Now, back in goes my SIM card.

[@ChillYeti]

Curved display, that's why i order my S23 Ultra today.. i have been useing a curved display for 6 years, going back to a flat display feel like a downgrade especially if you watch a lot of content on YT from your phone. I never had a problem with the curved display, right now i use a note 20 ultra, i can't belive how thinn and modern it look with that curve.

[@OU-tn4nt]

I have the Galaxy S21 5g and am looking to upgrade to either the Galaxy S23Ultra or the Galaxy S24 Ultra which one do you recommend. Thank you.

[@joshuam4993]

I only have one question. If im only paying 100 bucks to replace a broken s23 U with a S24 U (titanium grey), is it worth it? Like its not worse than S23 is it? Its almost like a free upgrade (since I'd pay the same to replace it with s23U). I loved my S23ultra. However (and I still have no idea how), my screen and LCD got cracked straight in the fingerprint censor like a bullet hit it. I don't even know what happened, I just picked it and it was done. Only thing I can think of is some bizarre physics occurrence from my screen protector (glass) beginning to peel off and somehow that adhesive becoming uneven caused it to implode toward the center. IDK. Anyways Verizon replacing it with s24U for free (meaning upgrade is free not the deductible). It sort of sucks there weren't any real meaningful upgrades between the two. But if the S24U is at least marginally better, its probably worth the 7 years of upgrades right?

[@martinking9308]

For $100 the upgrade is absolutely worth it!!

[@vijayendrasheth]

Hi nice review by the way, but I have a question. I have a s23 ultra 256 gb since the last 14 months, I came across a deal in the used market about the s23 ultra 512 gb which was a replaced phone from samsung untouched and has 3 months warranty left, it's final price is ₹18,000 with exchanging my s23 ultra 256 gb, is it worth, should I exchange? Please advice, thanks.

[@prenceamanya]

True. I also like skipping phones upgrades cause I never see/get the point. Like I left out the iPhone 13 series and went for the iPhone 14 pro. Love the video cause it's helps me by explaining to my friend what I've been trying to tell him. Nice video.

[@mervin9342]

First of all great video and indepth analyses, keep up the good work bro. Also Iam bit still confused now using S20Fe from past 3years looking to upgrade now within a month or so plz do suggest which one to go for S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra...S23 Ultra is bit cheap in price now and in my budget i can go for 512gb and also i like its form factor, curved screen, but if its worth I can stretch a bit my budget for S24Ultra too but then i will have to go for 256 that comes in my budget. I would be using till next 4years max. So do let me know guys your thoughts too so that I can finalize on one from these.❤❤

I heard something about a washed up looking display on the s24 ultra?. had me on the fence on which phone to get. has it been fixed? Cause the screen on the s24 ultra looking punchy too

[@lenanaH]

I own the s24U. Yes, out of the box, the display colours were washed out. However, there's a vividness setting that increases vibrancy of colours. Even with vibrancy at max setting, the oled on my wife's oneplus Nord 3 is significantly more vibrant than the samsung s24 ultra! Another thing is the grainy display when there's a grey image (like reddits grey background in reddit mode) on the screen. If these can bother you don't get the s24U. My honest opinion is save your cash and wait a few months into the s25u. Cheers!
