[@CJYing]

Thanks for all the kind comments guys! And yes I appreciate I made an error with the megapixel count on the main sensor. It is indeed 200MP and not 100 as I stated in the video. In the end, the photos are still excellent regardless 😊 I will continue to endeavour to ensure that there videos are as accurate as possible but I am human after all. Much love, CJ

I switched to iPhone for about 3 years and just switched back and got the s24 ultra. This is a beautiful phone. Feels amazing in the hand. The camera is amazing. The iPhone is simply just boring. Puts me to sleep just using it. Great choice to go back to Samsung. Just do it.

[@saikshorts]

Samsung has promised 7 years of OS and security updates for the S24 Ultra

[@ermgunk1127]

This will become the new normal for new phones, I'm almost positive this phone will hold its value well for several years.

[@mikevee6992]

I am dying to switch from Apple !!! This may win me over

[@canyoncanyon2017]

But iOS 18 has somewhat bridged that gap why switch?

[@AkAk-tk1tg]

In comparison to Apple, Samsung provides superior customization options and the flexibility to download applications from various sources on the internet. As a result, Samsung is the preferred choice for individuals who value personalization and freedom. You can be confident that you will be satisfied with your decision.

Great video. I would add the anti-reflective display. That's the best part for me.

[@Tha-King-Arthur]

I have seen the IOS18 update and tommorow i'm gonna buy the S24 Ultra.. I'll buy a Iphone 11 pro to keep my Apple Watch Ultra 2 by E-sim and my fitness stats active..

[@1993rufus]

When the Watch 7 Ultra comes out, swap the Apple Ultra for it. Samsung gives killer deals on preorder. Just make sure the watch is carrier unlocked before you send it for trade, or you'll run into trouble. Wear OS 6 is already promising on the Watch 6, and the Watch 7 will be better overall.

It's Niagara Launcher! I absolutely love it!

[@Antonis24]

The S23U is a great phone as well, at a much better price right now. Besides the screen, there's not much of a noticeable difference between them.

[@CJYing]

💯 not a massive difference between the two phones

[@CoachD77]

Truth

[@Dr_Lad]

However, 7 years of updates justifies the price difference.

[@Lamentomori]

I really wanted to learn your methodology to your editing process, Ive been working with premiere pro, after effects, and adobe audition for a while. I can't find myself to make content however graphic design is what I'm seeming to be able to do, I make videos I never post, but I wanted to ask where you learned to create your compositions, and your process for gathering everything before hand as well. Do you just record yourself talking Infront of the camera and then edit audio and edit in J Cuts with motion graphics displaying what you're talking about? Just really liked your different creative ideas throughout the editing in the video

[@CJYing]

Hard to articulate my process but you're not far from the truth there. Most of the B-roll shot is done in a fluid manner as I keep using the device and think there's an interesting shot to be used in the final video. The talking head a-roll shot is done once I'm happy I have a good idea of what the device is all about. Then if there's anything missing I'll go back and shoot targeted b-roll footage and finally edit it all together in the end.

[@Lamentomori]

@@CJYing as someone who's looking into content creation, what editing styles do you recommend I become familiar with? I want to make Cybersecurity Informative content and general IT content, as I'm CompTIA Certified and am starting a vulnerability management platform, and a part of that I want to foster a community for young people fascinated by IT and Cybersecurity and give them the resources to further their education and put their future into their own hands.

[@Lamentomori]

@@CJYing I appreciate your response, I've read it through and appreciate you taking the time to respond to my comment, I know you probably get thousands of comments. But just wanted to let you know I've been watching your content for a while, thank you for taking time out of your day to go over your editing process, I really appreciate the minimal and professional feeling your set and final edit looks like, would you be able to tell me what camera/lens you're using and if you had any suggested external equipment like hot lights, filters, specific quality backdrops for greenscreen, any tips you have will be greatly appreciated and I hope you one day see something of mine on your recommendations 😂 Love your content, keep it going! Thank you again!

[@samuelanmol3590]

Feels great already using this phone for 6 months as a primary device awesome phone and yea Watching on my Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra ❤😊🙆‍♂️

[@Delicate141]

How is the battery? Do you constantly update your device? I see a lot of complaints about the battery life.

[@eg8049]

Switched from a34 to s24U. This phoen is solid. I have a few problems in the camera, it doesnt take still images of moving subjects. Have to switch to pro mode for that. But other than that. The phone is just incredible. The software is sooo goood it has everything you need. Like genuinely, everything i might need my phone to do, samsung has something hidden somewhere to help me out with it. The speakers are brilliant. Spen is very useful while editing photos. The performance whule game is insane. I play CODM on 120 fps and this thing never breaks a sweat. The screen os obviously great but what i love the most is the glass. The anti reflective property is brilliant. I got a screen protector but hated the reflections so got rid of it. Fuck, i can deal with scratches but i am not putting a screen protector on such a gorgeous screen. Excited to see how samsung will up itself with software updates. Galaxy ai is good, especially the cirlce to search.

[@Davezriv]

What a great video!

[@Shaun_s_Wrld05]

4:04 i think they still trying to figure out how they will bring that thing to their phones without shuttering the S pen compatibility, because when you use an S pen with a Mag cover on, you gonna get this gaps when writing on the screen

[@saladmaster1392]

Magnets make spen not function so i'd assume they dont have workaround for that yet.

[@iambrianlau]

Is anyone having camera issues where when you take 200mp or 50mp photos, it automatically edits it? Even if Scene optimizer and Super HDR are already off.

[@OhShunz]

Did they undo the dumb decision years ago to remove the micro sd card option?

[@maheshanirudhradhakrishnan3257]

How is the battery life affected post updates There is a significant drop in battery life in S21 FE since 14 update

[@canyoncanyon2017]

Nice video, sir! I'm an Apple user, but I appreciate Samsung for always trying to innovate. With iOS 18 on the horizon, do you think Apple has finally bridged the gap between iOS and Android in terms of customization? Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@Tha-King-Arthur]

Definetly not.. Just a copy paste from Android.. And Apple is still missing allot of features even after the update.. And mark my words you're gonna pay for AI.. Apple is creedy enough for it.

[@CJYing]

In terms of customisation, no way. Apple has taken some great and unique steps but Android is still streets ahead imo. If customisation isn't a priority then that's a different story!

Making the switch back to Samsung with the S24 today after being with Apple for two years and owning an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple phones are pretty and user friendly but they just don't capture me like Galaxy phones and Android.

Chose to keep the S23 Ultra as there was not a big enough difference in the new model for an upgrade. My S23 Ultra still runs good but I’ve currently replaced it with the OnePlus 12 and I’m loving it so far!
