Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Review After 2 Months

[@nickackermanchannel]

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 2 Months Later - In this episode, I give you my in-depth ownership experience and thoughts on Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra after 2 months of usage!

[@LN_826]

Are u fully switching to it?

[@RaushanKumar-ou6tg]

@@nickackermanchannel are you facing grainy screen of 24 ultra?

[@Cryptid71]

Switched over from the iPhone 14 pro Max and I absolutely love the Galaxy s24 ultra. Every app works fantastic zero issues. Even got my wife to move over from iPhone to the Galaxy s24 ultra

[@DoritosResidue]

I have had my 24U for over 2 months now. Before that had the S22U and havent been this in love with a smartphone since the note 9. The performance is just absolutely stellar 👌

[@nickackermanchannel]

Thanks for sharing that experience. I wasn't in love with the S22U, but this phone is absolutely absolutely!

[@DoritosResidue]

@nickackermanchannel yep the S22U was definitely a phone I didn't care for. The performance and battery was average. It wasn't an above and beyond phone like the s24U

[@CREEBANDZ510]

One of my favorite youtube channels ever. You always cover the Samsung Galaxy S Series is so much depth and detail and make sure to give the Ultras the respect and prasie they deserve which I really appreciate.

[@stevennovakovich2525]

Loving my S24 Ultra in gray titanium. Beautiful phone, premium feel, the excellent and tough Gorilla Armor display glass, etc. etc. etc.

[@rrrr3666]

Can't beat OnePlus 12R in battery💪 But yeah,S24Ultra's a great one(out of my budget😅)

[@m-funkshun]

It's cool to have an iPhone b/c you can pretend it's still 2007, just now there's that part of the screen missing with that island-thing. It's cool to have a Samsung 'cause you know what iPhones will be capable of at some future date.

[@uzb3kboy]

Bro S24 ultra is insane 😮🥶😎🤟

[@Garret141076]

April update did some magic to my S24Ultra. Very smooth

[@kataliz72]

what has changed?

[@JackHackett1]

What changed mate?

[@skrttt_dffoo]

​@@JackHackett1 Photo post-processing got more improvements.. This time particularly the zoom shots got better clarity as well as some tuning with the portraits. There are a couple more but Samsung is continually putting out updates to the camera which is great to see.

[@jordanjackson8873]

​@skrttt_dffoo On top of that, the battery life is insane now. I just got 21 hrs of battery life with six and half hrs of screen-on-time on my s24+. The updates have honestly made the performance and vividness of the phone outstanding, and they have been timely. Getting the updates back to back was just the icing on the cake.

[@CZP-01]

For US markets, this is the best phone money can buy

[@nickackermanchannel]

Sure is, this and the 15 Pro Max

[@RagingBad]

In any market

[@RagingBad]

​@nickackermanchannel why? There's literally nothing special about it

[@rrrr3666]

Nubia Z60 Ultra exists! It's cameras are far better, battery is way beyond, Performance is same(UI might be smoother too)

If you like android os.

[@cosmicape4829]

Wassupp nick i used to watch you back in 2016 when the s7 came out how fast time flies

[@nickackermanchannel]

Thanks bro! More to come!

[@OJxiii]

I love this phone… I want it. Been using iphones for the past 7 years and it would be a great refresh. Awesome review as always.

[@nemesisut8793]

SD card on 25 Ultra would bring about 20% of apples fanbase.. samsung has to be cooking up something special to the 25th edition

[@andreferguson3376]

2024 and people still talking about SD card slot on a flagship phone. Keep dreaming

[@qwaden08]

This makes me want to trade in my S22U even though I planned on waiting for the S25U

[@nickackermanchannel]

If you don’t feel like waiting this is worth it, but if you can hold out the S25U is likely to be a phenomenal offering

[@geofreykazaula7940]

With the S22U you can wait for S25U.

[@Anamae5451]

Yeah the rumors for the S25 are crazy. If there is any truth to them you definitely won't regret waiting...

[@qwaden08]

Definitely can wait.. I want bigger battery, faster charging and a redesign.. not just A.I. and better software optimization.

[@Anamae5451]

Don't know if they'll ever be as fast as One Plus charging but as for the updates it should be great with the new seven year updates you shouldn't have any problems. S24 plus has consistently been getting updates every month now that I've had it.

[@xxfrostyghostxx]

I have it since lunch and I love it❤

[@Chris34720]

Thanks for the video just picked one up in black titanium was a close one though against the honor magic 6 pro

[@MostafaHosseini-b4g]

I fell in love with s24 ultra with your review

[@levipb1403]

It'd be nice if you did a speed test between this one and the s23 ultra now that it has received one UI 6.1

[@InsighterofTech]

I tried this phone out when it first came out. My 13 pm when it came out still had better battery life in my opinion. 15 pm and s24 ultra are pretty similar in battery life

[@nickackermanchannel]

They are but Samsung used to be behind in real-world use, these days that is changing and that is great for the users!

[@Anamae5451]

Can I ask a serious question? I've been around since the beginning of iPhone. I can remember when Android had the camera for a long time but Apple fanboys would always say who cares nobody uses your phone camera... Ok... Now all of a sudden iPhone is supposedly the best camera and has been since release what? The battery thing too when I had my Note 9 I never had issues with battery life all day yet the iPhone had battery packs with them all the time Apple fanboys: it's because the battery is smaller of course it's not going to last all day besides I don't use my phone that much so it lasts me all day. But now Apple has best long lasting all day battery super important WHAT? As soon as Apple actually becomes more customizable I have a feeling all of a sudden it's always been customizable and the best WHAT? SMH...

[@Lolllllllllllllllllllzzzzzzzzz]

@@Anamae5451it still doesnt its just that it has caught up enough to be compared with samsung

[@katinasoutherland7693]

@@Anamae5451I’d say iPhone started getting a stellar reputation for the cameras on the 11 series

[@Messina4NY]

That 13 pro max had the best battery of any iPhone ever. The 14 pro max and 15 pro max couldn't compare in my opinion as far as battery life.

[@notme6753]

I got my S24u as well and I really like the saturation over the natural look. Unfortunately my S24u doesn't appear to be as saturated as my S22u even with the vividness set to max. I hope I can adjust overtime but it's kinda sad losing that vibrant look on the s24u😢 I also hope that I can get rid of that annoying bar at the bottom of the screen.. the S22u has this feature of totally getting rid of it not sure why it can't be done on the 24u. Those are just the thing I don't like about the S24u but overall I'm happy with it. The new flat display is kinda refreshing look.

[@nickackermanchannel]

You can actually get rid of that bottom bar with good lock! I agree for some this display is not going to be the best for saturation but it is really good for extended reading, usage, due to its anti glare, super sharp text, and flat screen is refreshing I agree.

[@RagingBad]

It's rated best display on the market at the moment

[@patrickchong8581]

Agrees with you Nick 👍🏻

[@SQ773]

Bought this 👑 phone 5 days ago. After the S23 Plus wich i bought December last year. Titanium color, awesome device 👍 And since it came out i use Nova Launcher.

[@foetor]

Sold it and bought 15PM. Couldn’t make any clear pictures on moving objects. And no, I don’t have time for Pro modus. I want to take it as quick as possible or moment is gone

[@mohamedalmasri2738]

pls make a speed comparison between smamsung s24 ultra and honor magic 6 pro also a camera test

[@nickackermanchannel]

Honor 6 not available Here, so will not review that but thanks for sharing.

[@julietidehen4673]

Watching from my s24ultra

[@nickackermanchannel]

How are you liking it so far

[@RexRex-tz3dv]

As a Team Natural mode it didn’t bother me at all once I got back to vivid mode it hurts my eyes.

[@Uncle_Drew0227]

It is worth noting that the AI capabilities of the S24 Ultra are already present in the previous models, making the purchase of the older models a wise and cost-effective decision.

[@Cryptid71]

The only thing I will say that I dislike on the Galaxy of the iPhone is when you blare the speakers at full volume for too long it does seem to drain the battery. I am someone who drives a lot for work if I am listening to something for two or three hours with the volume all the way up I do notice a large shift in battery difference

[@takeasmile97]

turn off dolby atmos maybe?

[@UmarAmriyev]

Yesterday i grabed s24ultra and it feels just like Nick said. It is heavy but feels light and very nice

[@caamitsingh7210]

Just like S23 ultra S24 ultra is best phone of this year

[@АндрейСергеевич-э9з]

The year's not over yet, you idio*. In September, the 16PM presentation

[@tec00aba]

SGN20U have a bit bigger screen vs S24U (6.9" vs 6.8", if I recall correctly), so I agree with you. It's a bit pity that Samsung downgrade the Ultra series (which is usually bought by geeks & tech guys :) )

[@nickackermanchannel]

Yeah they can go back to 6.9 at minimum! Thanks for sharing :)

[@rrrr3666]

​@@nickackermanchannelAnd also increase thickness a bit more, I personally like bulky and dense phones, inhand feel of 14Pro Max was better than 15PM and S24Ultra. I think they shouldn't work on Titanium and go back to Stainless Steel or atleast give it full titanium treatment instead of just comsmetic covering!

[@clinged2711]

I hope to pick one up about 3-4 years from now, its awesome

[@alfredomontanez64]

I upgraded from S10+ to S24 Ultra it is a beast and I only got this 4 days ago.

[@Cryptid71]

One of my only complaints is the fact that I do not use the s pen and I honestly don't know anyone that does so I wish they would have used that extra space for better battery or maybe make the phone that much thinner or lighter

[@m.b.557]

I use it all the time. I don't take notes with it, but I do use it as a shutter button, as well as for photo/video editing, and more accurate pressing for games and closing annoying ads without activating them.

[@Messina4NY]

I do use the S pen a lot. I do a ton of photo editing. I want to get into using the s pen more when taking photos I always forget, especially group photos

[@DanielECulbertson]

I use it multiple times a day, from jotting quick notes to editing photos. 😁

[@GadgetsArise]

I already have a S22 Ultra, so I didn't feel like upgrading.

[@nickackermanchannel]

This is a big upgrade from that phone

[@katinasoutherland7693]

I’ have the S22U also im waiting crossing my fingers for a bigger upgrade with the S25U as of now im not giving this kind of cash 2 years later for a better battery life & flat display. I’m hoping the cameras get better on the S25U making it worth another 1300.00 bucks.

[@GadgetsArise]

@@nickackermanchannel You're right. However, the cameras this year didn't get a huge upgrade. Samsung merely focused on improving on-device AI and performance. The minor camera enhancements are due to 8 Gen 3 and AI image processing. Next year, with the S25 Ultra, we might get improved camera hardware, so I'm hoping for that. I love the flat display this year. I found it challenging to install screen protectors on the curved displays.

[@GadgetsArise]

@@katinasoutherland7693 Honestly, same here! Upgrading this year could mean that you’ve to use it for a few years with slight improvements in the main camera sensor, but if you wait for another year you might get much better camera hardware combined with a more powerful and capable Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and possibly some new AI features.

[@angelcerda1111]

i kept the S24 Ultra for a week and the battery would die too fast! Also it was already starting to slow down a tad. I ended up taking it back and just keeping my 15 Pro Max!

[@_WF23]

Have an iPhone 13 Pro max, almost done paying it off. I’m going to get s24 ultra , since I consume lots of video content & keep 13 for backup phone. Still great phone.

[@nickackermanchannel]

13 Pro Max is great, I think you're getting a really big upgrade with S24 Ultra, though!

[@baroneleve1196]

What battery saving configurations do you have that leads to two day battery? Do you barely use it?

[@aubinbaldonado]

17:46 yep, Galaxy Note 9 perfected it, worked flawlessly in the dark.

[@shooter-vx7xy]

I had an S10 and now I have an S24. This is the first time I've ever bought a new flagship model and felt like my old one was better. I swear my display and cameras were better on my S10.

[@Haptic_atmos03]

Please provide the wallpaper you applied on your S24U 😢 Sadly I realised that is AI generated 😢

[@markclayburne5805]

The lack of a microSD card slot is the one thing I don't like about this phone. I know many will say that microSD cards are slow and it's time to move on, but that statement is no longer true since Samsung is working on a microSD card that is capable of 800 MB/S speeds.

[@segunthepikachufan1470]

It's mainly to get ppl to buy the higher storage models instead of just 256GB

[@markclayburne5805]

​@@segunthepikachufan1470That wouldn't surprise me.

[@segunthepikachufan1470]

​@@markclayburne5805 Well at least they give you a free storage upgrade when you preorder a new phone

[@rrrr3666]

Hey Nick, why not try Nubia Z60 Ultra. Also, you have got to give the full review of OnePlus 12R(against NP2). I'm currently using the 12R 16+256 and absolutely loving it, except the Sunlight visibility is a lot less than 15 Pro.

[@rrrr3666]

Also give NP2s longterm review

[@nickackermanchannel]

Not interested in Nubia

[@Chris34720]

It's better, 1000000 percent

[@chriswest2290]

Im on an s23 and 13 mini. Both are good for at least another 4 years.

[@mmgla4608]

I got it after switching from iphone 13 pro and it`s just ok. I like the camera and that I can write on the callendar, other than that? Just same. I like the IOS software better, even tho here I can move the icons but that`s it.

[@stevennovakovich2525]

One UI is extremely customizable compared to anything iOS has. There's a *ton* of things you can do with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series phones. Yes, iOS is smoother still, and iOS video is still better in my opinion, but Samsung is very, very close to matching everything Apple has (except perhaps the whole ecosystem thing), plus they are way ahead of the game in AI. We'll see if Apple can match Samsung with respect to AI. Competition is an excellent thing as it pushes these gigantic companies (who largely are lazy and resting on their laurels) to constantly improve their tech and keep prices down. It's a win-win for sure, for everyone.

[@mmgla4608]

​@@stevennovakovich2525 I totally agree bro. However even tho AI is there I very rarely have used it really. Samsung wins on photos quality but softwarewise I prefer using iphone. True that there`s very little competition and they are just do a fraction of updates they could do. And I like the Samsungs hardware design more than Apples. As of now, to me it`s just a matter of switching each two years from one brand to another to see what the real improvement is. Maybe it`s because of I was using apple all the time, but I tried downloading goodlock and customising things but always ended up switching them back to default as I was feeling that was what the company intented to have their device working. There are still minor bugs I find annoying. After factory resetting the phone I had to download samsung apps on my own and the experience of setting up the phone was different than the first time I booted it up. I have my email on icloud and it was hard to connect it to gmail app, there is still issues with sync between them. The circle to search is laggy when using over camera app and that bug I reported to samsung. There was one more on samsung browser, I modified the url bar to be at the bottom and it was blocking the website content but that they have fixed now. So far I don`t regret anwyay, but will still choose iphone as my go to and probably switch in around 2 years. Cheers!

[@morm2173]

The s24 ultra, Huawei mate x5 , Xiaomi mix fold 4 , One Plus Open 2, Honor Magic V2 RSR Porsche fold , and Red Magic are the best

[@Lonwolf.]

The problem with Samsung phones they put out a new phone like every six months seems like. So if someone buys this phone, should they actually wait for the s25? 😂 I mean, imagine buying this phone and too months later, the new ultra comes out.

[@JackHackett1]

It doesn’t tho does it? Every year a new ultra comes out not every month.

[@Lonwolf.]

@@JackHackett1 yeah and it takes about five months for Samsung to get the kinks out of the new ultra so by the time they send out enough updates to get the phone working right the new one is coming out five months later. Which will be the next best thing. So you see you get in this vicious cycle where you never have the latest and greatest unless you’re willing to buy a new ultra every year. That’s one reason I like iPhone because you can give someone an iPhone X and if you put the phone in a case, you wouldn’t be able to tell if it’s an iPhone 13 or not.

[@darthbroda]

there haven't been any kinks with the S24U, I've had it since launch. Not realising a difference between the iPhone X and the newest one is actually a negative not a positive

[@Chris34720]

​@@Lonwolf.I'm sorry didn't iPhone release 14 pro with the camera shaking but didn't they release iPhone 15 with over heating issues 🤣

[@Lonwolf.]

@@Chris34720 I want to bet 99% of the people aren’t noticing those problems. The only people noticing whether the camera is shaking are tech heads who do KZbin reviews 😂 the regular boy in high school or girl in high school or just man a woman who just wants a phone to communicate with family and friends aren’t noticing a shaking camera. 😂 and I don’t wanna get into the Iphone overheating because Samsung had the note 9 blowing up on people literally and catching people on fire. That’s the whole reason they’re afraid to increase the fast charging on the note because they don’t want that to happen again.
