Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra - A Long Term User Review

[@madhurjo.karmaker]

That sharp edges, reminiscent of a notebook, makes this phone unique. If Samsung made it round, then it wouldn't stand out from the crowd.

[@ljacobs357]

I have the base S24. I find the sharp edges harder to hold than the previous design.

[@joelconolly5574]

Not it doesn't. It's just reused design from 2017. Note 20 Ultra was better designed then this.

[@chipmunktubetop]

It makes it more attractive to me.

[@madhurjo.karmaker]

@@chipmunktubetop Absolutely! I think the same!

Ive been using it for 4 months too. No screen protector with 0 scratches. I dont agree on rounded edges, I like it squared.

[@Pho3niX90]

Haven't used screen protectors since note 8. But wondering on the case, as they do help for a drop

[@PPLRRN]

@Pho3niX90 I've put on a thin case on mine. The back seem to have a thin paint. I havent dropped mine and in the first week, there was a tiny tiny scratch on the back. And for the titanium, mine had discoloration at the USB port and round the top of the volume rocker.

[@NameLess-lk2qu]

but i saw a video that the oleophobic coating of his s24u removed because of a sunscreen.

[@PPLRRN]

@NameLess-lk2qu the oleophobic is just for fingerprints, it will deplete in time. But the hardness of the glass is legit. Still 0 scratches on mine.

[@nurwsama]

Do you often play games. Without additional screen protector moderate gaming daily will do micro scratch the screen.

[@DisturbedM86]

I'm 2 minutes in and already STRONGLY disagree with the comments about form. I hope Samsung DOESN'T take notice at all. I prefer rectangular slabs. Not everything needs to looks the same.

[@marcusellby]

Same, watch a lot of content on mine and I love the square and large screen

[@wheelyflac]

I agree

[@StaySic4Ever]

Yeah Ultra and Sony design.

[@BenyaminLorit]

Eh, the sharp edges are annoying to hold for a phone of that size. Especially one-handed. It's fine only when you're comfortably seated and have two hands free to operate it but in any other scenario outside of that, it seems irksome. The regular S24 is just more ergonomically sound.

[@wheelyflac]

@BenyaminLorit in whatever situation I hold my phone my hands just never get to push the corners , I don't understand how some of you hold your phones.. I got my pinky on the bottom under the phone, 3 fingers on the back and thumb in screen , even when i have to reach the top of the screen I Don't get my hands to really touch the corners.. like.. bro explain what's your weird use case..

@@cdv9028It's a reference to the hardness of the glass, popularized by the KZbin channel JerryRigEverything, who is well-known for testing the durability of smartphones. Pretty much every smartphone ever tested has always had "scratches at a level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7", so a phone that goes above that is considered mythical.

If you have s24 ultra, get the "Samsung Standing Grip Case" or similar case where you can slide your finger behind the phone. I got this for free in an offer. This single thing is big improvement to how you hold the phone. You can now use it with one hand without worrying about it falling. This solves the "Corner" problem you have as it is no longer resting on your palm.

[@marquisbush8985]

The amount of people who didnt watch the video but commented as soon as they saw the title is astounding. Critical thinking is dead.

[@eduardobarreto5555]

Indeed. At first I also thought "In what universe is their literal top of the line phone affordable?" but I do agree with the real point of having these features trickle down to the affordable phones. I kinda hope Dex trickles down to the A series phones too, they're already capable enough and all they need is to use USB 3.0 instead of being stuck in 2.0. Hell, I believe Dex will be used MORE by people buying the affordable phones if it can replace a desktop PC for browser and office suite use instead of only being in the phones bought by the people that are also the most likely to also afford a separate PC.

[@vladelikyvladelik5588]

Nice take on the S24U. As you said the state of smart phones is pretty advanced, so what more is needed is no longer necessary. My wish would be for the manufacturers replace their phone on a two years cycle versus the one year that they presently submits us all to.

[@BenyaminLorit]

Sometimes I forget just how much functionality is baked inside these devices now. Granted, I don't see myself using a lot of them but it's still amazing to see. It also highlights the fact that a lot of these capabilities are what you actually pay extra for in these flagship+ devices yet most of the people who buy these either aren't actually creative enough or knowledgeable about their devices enough to take advantage of them and just end up wasting money.

[@WillyWillerton]

Wasted money for me. I just wanted a phone that was really fast and took great pictures. The remaining features are less than worthless to me.

[@kristensmith9029]

I just switched from iPhone to the s24 Ultra and love the new phone. I even have to give it credit. The s24 Ultra even charged my iPhone during the transfer process. It has taken a while to dig in. But I'm definitely all in now. I also got the S8 Ultra Tablet. I am a photographer as well and the android filing system and instant connectivity has been refreshing. I don't believe any phone is perfect and obviously not as good as a dedicated camera. But for travel photographers the phone could still shine. I've noticed turning the exposure down a touch before taking the picture helps with the bit too bright processing.

I bought a A14 for my grandma for 150€ and while using it for a bit, I really questioned myself if my next device will be expensive. I am a super long-term user (still use my note9, before that note1 lol) and a sucker for the pen but if the premium phone costs close to 10x more and does basically the same for 90% of the time, it really doesn't make sense. Kinda waiting that the s24ultra gets to the 600-700€ realm at the end of next year

[@Magerquark]

I am the exact same. I currently use a S20 FE 5G and I often question myself, what I would do different if I had a better phone, basically nothing. It's just that somehow feel the need to have a better one. I only switched to my current phone because my old one started being really slow, I had a Nokia 5.1 for 150€ around 2,5 years before my current one. Though I would like to shoot better photos

[@IansDrumsandBass]

Me too. I'm done with being ripped off, I now buy entry level/mid speck phones which can do 90% of what a flagship can do, that I'd need - I'm not talking about the bloatware here. I realised that the novelty wears off in a matter of weeks and you're tied to a rip off contract for two years. 😂 Not me. Never again.

[@swecreations]

I like the Pixel 8A, a lot of the really entry-level phones have processors that are too weak to last more than two years, so feels a lot like e-waste. Stepping up to the ~$400-range you can get a phone that lasts twice as long while being a much better phone for those years.

[@IansDrumsandBass]

@@swecreations I have a Samsung Galaxy A02s which is now 4 years old, still going strong. I also have an A50 which is still going strong (2019), previous owner messed it up, and it doesn't make or receive calls - Warning: Only buy used from 1st world people, everything else works, so I use it as a 3rd camera for KZbin vdos.

[@swecreations]

@@IansDrumsandBass Of course, and that's nice, it's just that I believe most people will have higher requirements than that, and will want to replace their phone once it starts to get sluggish, which likely means they won't keep it very long. The A50 was more the kind-of phone I was talking about anyways, those mid-range phones are always the best value.

[@megabot5247]

This did not feel like a long term user review. It was much of a nit picky review. S24 ultra is the best phone in the world right now. Hands down! The longer you use .. the more you fall in love with it especially if you are a Note lover.

open camera, go to settings, select "intelligent optimization" and disable it. Make your tests and I hope it will give you better results.

I'm glad there are so many options because I am making it a personal goal to learn more and become a better photographer. There are some videos showing that it is possible to get amazing results with the S24u when compared with professional cameras.

The screen alone is a technical marvel and as a heavy user, I don't have any issues with any apps, its incredibly smooth, One UI is amazing, Dex is amazing, gaming on it is amazing, pen works great as always, pictures and videos are great, though I think iphones are slightly better for videos in certain scenarios, and the way I can customize this phone to my hearts content along with all of the pros including the battery make it well worth the money.

[@nipunsharma5351]

The thing with Samsung’s image processing since many years has been the over the top sharpening. Every photo, under every shooting condition must be sharpened to compensate for god knows what. Add to that the oil painting effect upon zooming in the 5x and the erstwhile 10X tele lens photos. Every year I’d sell my s series flagship and fall for the reviews praising how everything has changed and how the photos are excellent the subsequent year, only to be disappointed yet again when I’d bring the phone home and test the camera for myself. The reviews would get me every year so to speak. Hence I have immense respect for channels like yourself that call out the disappointing image processing and don’t make an extended 20 minute ad for Samsung in the garb of a review.

[@TheRextc]

Disagree with rounded corner phones. Never once used my phone and thought it dug in to my hand either. Don't know how you guys hold your phones. Not going to lose corner pixels to get a rounded screen either. Guess iPhone users are used to that though with the big notch. I have not had GPS issues with mine either use it daily for that. I use the s-pin daily for smart select, copying part of screen shots, note taking, and circle to search AI. As for price it is high but with trade ins when first launched I only paid a few hundred dollars, and that was taken off by carrier discounts.

[@veltriix]

Wow 6:58, I still can't believe that's still an issue?!?!, is this just the S24 Ultra or does it still happen on the other S24 models.

Let me tell you one thing : To learn languages daily, without classes just by yourself, there is no better phone thanks to the S Pen. The S Pen allows you to copy anything, and translate it. Now, the translation is only useful to know what you clicked on. But if you're inside the settings of your phone or any internal software part, you can copy it thanks to the S Pen. For example, I use my phone in Japanese and don't know yet every kanjis. So when I'm stuck, I pull out the S Pen, copy the sentence I don't get and then dive into a dictionnary to learn and remember. By using my phone in full japanese for months, the progress I've done besides talking with penpal friends, videos/movies and my self teach classes, is incredibly high. And with some good dictionnaries, I'm pretty sure you can do it with other langugages.

[@macheerouistrash]

12:10 Hi Eber, I might be late to the party but maybe aside from minimizing the intelligent optimization you can also download the "camera assistant" module from good lock. Good Lock is an app containing experimental feature labs by Samsung themselves and you can get it from either play store or the samsung store. In the camera assistant you can toggle off the Auto HDR and set picture softening, which helps with oversharpening problem like i had in my S23 Ultra. There are also many other features there and probably, the Good Lock itself deserves its own video as it is somewhat game-changing for Samsung phones customization! I think they are also available for lower class samsungs as well so anyone can enjoy. Love your coverage as usual, perhaps one thing missing is I hope you pushed for SD card slot to make a comeback since this class of phone is so great at taking photos and videos, and those eat a lot of space 😅

Those photo edits are SOOO GOOD ❤️ The post processing issue you showed is also there on the Pixel 7. In a lot of scenarios the photo looks really good in the viewfinder, but the shadows get crushed when I take the photo. iPhone is the only reliable phone in terms of camera as per my experience so far.

[@U2haveanicedayty2]

HC Great Video. The workaround for these Devices i find Nice Wallet case.But i have bought through the years many Powerbanks and others chargers.Thanks so much for sharing Enjoyed. 💯✌️

[@anandcherian.585]

That intro edit was out of this world. Your video production quality is top notch now.

[@fraughtstone2924]

Nice video, I just got mine a month ago and still loving it! Pd: how did you get that wallpaper?

[@vium]

Best and most honest review I've seen so far, thank you!

[@RunRideHikeThrive]

Plateau... 🤔 🤔 That new Sony Experia Mark VI camera from a couple of recent KZbin uploads is just wow 🔥 Headphone Jack with DAC, SD Card Slot, Duel Facing Speakers... Coming from a Ultra 22 might have to consider it!

[@le_nirnoy]

Oh dude! The sponsorship is GOLD! "Alright, have fun with your freezer"😅😅😂😂

[@wyethkrumrey9603]

I have been having the same over post processing issues as well! Glad I'm not the only one. 12:32

[@waynetec13]

Wooooow. That soccer game zoom in was incredible.

[@douglasgudenkauf1952]

All of the issues he had with the camera is fixed completely with the RAW camera app. Ya know, the one samsung tells u too use if ur gonna shoot professionally or want the raw natural photos

[@nisx2012]

Im loving mine. At first i hated the square corners but with a proper case i love it. My only struggle right now is finding a proper screen protector. Tried a few glass ones but the fingerprint scanner struggles with them...

[@LuciKnew]

Get the otterbox screen protector

[@syedrehanfida]

Love the Seiko Alpinist on your wrist.

[@eber.antony]

picked it up from Japan and love looking at it everyday.

[@syedrehanfida]

@@eber.antony It's a beautiful watch!

[@ustaadjisharma7591]

Its not seiko its rolex

[@StaySic4Ever]

I like more rectangular design. Best thing on this phone is how display is not as reflective.

[@UltraCon79]

I use an otterbox defender. The pen is covered when I flip over my phone by the otterbox screen protector belt clip. So now I never go through the extra step of taking the pen out or flipping vertically

[@biprasishchakraborty1662]

Should I buy s24 ultra or wait for s25 ultra?? Also will the price of 24U be lower by the time s25u is launched?????

[@jakemcarthur2807]

I love the background on the 24 ultra you had in the video. Where did you get the background? Thanks!

[@belphegor_dev]

No one cares.

[@VicharB]

Yesterday received OnePlus 12, the 16GB/512GB Black, as an upgrade to my 10 Pro 12GB/256GB. Got it for around USD715, think for the price this is one of the best, if not the best, including UFS 4.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 support at last. Ready for Android 15 now. :)

[@tech_45]

Samsungs trade in program is so generous. Great customer service too

[@paulyd0123]

Where did you get the wallpaper?

[@Piotsze]

Funny review. But now when he mentions that, i was wandering around shops even compared S24U to iPhone. The screen reflections was high on the iPhone. Dual nano-sim version of S24U works quite good (plus option to add eSIM) - and can't believe he hadn't do the research on that topic... That's the reason why it is a winner for me over the iPhone.

[@marque27]

Having used mine for the last 3.5 mnths, i believe this is a fair review. The IG issue is a big thing for me. The aggressive PP on photos is a major problem. Some apps like Fb messenger has issues and the touch responsive issue could be a major deal breaker. Its a good samsung phone, but i think next year ill see what apple offers.

[@didydota]

you could minimize intelligent Optimisation and turn off scene optimisation to reduce post processing

[@jagtan13]

next year, it would be awesome to see the return of the pebble design. Like the s3. Not as the flagship, but definitely on the regular s lineup as an option. It would be fun.

[@lvs777]

I have had the same GPS issues with the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. I moved to the UK 3 years back and I had to use Google maps a ton. There were days when the device let me down completely and I was driving completely in the dark. I was considering the S24 ultra. If the same issue persists, I don't want to own the device. Period. What good is a 1300 pound phone that can't get a decent GPS lock.

[@AquaStevae]

I've had mine since they came out. And while overall I love the features of this phone, I have experienced multiple problems that I never experienced on my S23U. First, the phone keeps coming on in my pocket and making phone calls. Yes, I have security setup on the phone, so it shouldn't function without my finger print. But it does! It also deleted over 50% of my apps, without any direction from me. Still don't know how this happened, but it did. I've never experienced any of this on any other of my Samsung phones. Many times it also will NOT send a pic in a text or receive one. Again, never before... Most of the features work very well, and I have no complaints about anything other than what I've listed. But those are some seriously annoying things, and I am looking for fixes. Thanks to anyone who can point me to any. I still think it's the best phone on the market right now.

[@mrmossimop]

Sounds like you have a virus or a creepy app. Mysteriously deleting 50% of your apps is crazy. I would do a factory reset.

[@Stanley-px3bt]

Did they fix the 4K blurriness problem previous phones had when you use the phone with DEX and a 4K monitor? I still have a NOTE 10 plus and despite the 4K hack from the Good Lock app, the 4K screen projection in DEX is still blurry compared to a PC connection.

[@cocutou]

Imo, Samsungs camera is better than the Pixel 8 Pro. Pixel has issues with white balance, turning warm lighting into cool and vice versa. The DNG files on Pixel doesn't have a profile in LR, so the raw files end up looking terrible and hazy. The 50mp photo processing is terribly slow, takes a solid 2 minutes to process after hitting the shutter button. The controls for ISO and shutter speed are also buried under several other adjustments, so you have to scroll all the way to the end.

[@sense2001]

Which one is better for concert fancam? S24 ultra or Xiaomi 14 ultra?

[@KH-uv5ph]

Very much appreciate this information. Thank you.

[@tanikawilliams783]

Switching is not the problem, the S24 Ultra is sooooooo good but, there are some little things that Apple does better...Apple cash, emoji finesse, etc

[@williamshevr]

11:20 : Nope this is not the ultimate tool. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 IS the actual ultimate tool for that (for half of the price)

[@Azhureus]

I have this phone since launch and I still cant get enough of it. Expensive, but you get what you pay for imo, plus up to 7 years support is quite nice. Edges are actually pretty cool, the phone looks fancy, tho holding it with the finger on the bottom can hurt eventually. Camera is a bit odd with the post processing, can really saturate the pictures in a way it is quite bad, they need to fix that. Other than that I think it is a great phone specially if you are upgrading from older phone.

[@mattmatt7998]

The fact that you said there are phone in the market that can do 95% of what Samsung S24U can do is mind blowing. But when you failed to mention what phones are capable by a fraction of the price, it's a crime. Please help me out here 😅

[@IansDrumsandBass]

It's true, I've gone from flagships to entry level and mid priced phones, and I'll never go back to being ripped off. 😊 Even entry level phones are doing what flagships did just a few years ago. It's all more about ego these days. I just got to the place where I got tired of being ripped off - like I'd NEVER buy a brand new car. Drive it for one week, and you can throw 50k in the bin. The "flagships" are loaded with junk you just never use. It's marketing hype of the retail machine. Never again.

[@StevenFuls]

A few comments for all, about S Pen usage to consider I will agree they are not a must have, but, speaking as a former pocket pc user, pre IPhone, and as a Senior Citizen, I always consider stylus availability, a requirement for purchase. Think about your own Mom & Dad, grandparents, friends. Could their efficiency on a Smartphone improve/decline, simply on the availability of a functional stylus? Also, think about the aging worldwide increase in the number of senior citizens. Manual dexterity starts to decline, Rheumatoid arthritis can mangle fingers, making touch screens more difficult to navigate. Just identifying some issues many may not think about or be aware of...

[@JayDee-b5u]

When the fold gets the S pen. It's going to be a match made in heaven.

[@Edward135i]

I Have a S22 Ultra and for me Samsung has yet to come out with something that makes me feel like I need to upgrade.

[@sarahmurphy3998]

I love this phone. I really hope to have and want to have my s24 ultra for the long haul ❤❤❤

[@Dannyv1987]

Im so in love with my s24 ultra ❤

[@paultidwell8799]

Totally get the thing about rounded edges because that's not about the appearance it's just comfort. Not wanting sharp edges.

[@mrgelvis]

I like the part where he says he didn't add a screen protector to the phone and then points out the major gash! The look on his face...priceless.

[@ForeverPopa]

Watching on my Samsung A55 and am happy with the amount of the money I already saved getting this great device

[@abijahdixon2771]

The graniness bugd me a lot compared to the S20, but it takes great pics at night.

[@aymaanchowdhury81]

The most pathetic online review out there -wants rounded generic displays -crying about a scratch he made -crying about magsafe (LMAO) -calling it affordable

[@HaruharuLee-dy8rj]

Price rant for samsung ultra phone but it's ok with iphones hahaha

[@potion95]

The mental gymnastics bruh lmao
