Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs S22 Ultra - Should You Upgrade?

[@Jtwizzle]

True. Only thing that pushed me to upgrade from s22u is the battery life everything else was acceptable. I never game except for lightweight games so that didnt matter. One battery test shows the s24u beating the 15 pro max by 40 minutes. @@ulysses4989

[@WilliamPetersen01]

In response to the title of this video: NO. All the "Advance Features" aka A.I. software gimmicks will eventually make its way to the S22 and S23. The S22 Ultra is still a Monster phone in 2024 and it makes absolutely no sense to upgrade to the S24 Ultra, unless it's for bragging rights of having the latest gadget on the market. Keep in mind that other phone manufacturers are probably busy with their version of these "AI Advance" features for their flagship devices. 2024 is still young at this point in time. You would be wasting your money getting the S24 Ultra now. There are far better, cheaper options on its way.

[@LyneTech_AppsChannel]

Yes absolutely agree with you 😊

[@mihirojha4475]

Well unfortunately most of those AI features will not make their way past the S23 Ultra because of hardware limitations. The 8 Gen 3 has dedicated AI cores in it which makes generative AI possible, 8 Gen 2 can also handle cloud based AI well but the 8 Gen 1? I don't think so, and I think Samsung has Also announced that the AI features will be only available on S23 and S24 series. However that still doesn't make the S22 Ultra a worse phone. It's still a beast, especially for the price it is at now. My only gripe with it is the battery life and thermals. S22 series had especially horrible battery life.

[@maruanopl8756]

​@@mihirojha4475but some of the things like photo editing end enhancing is already on s22ultra. But it's available only through a second app. Not the gallery

[@you-5-iver804]

​@@mihirojha4475nah they confirmed S23 Ultra will have the features because there is hidden AI tech in the Gen 2 as its a customised version for Samsung just like the Gen 3. The S22 Ultra is unlucky tho but tbh that phone was weak compared to the other 2

You will 100% see a difference, I went from S22U exynos to S23U Snapdragon. The S23U was noticeably faster and the battery does last longer. You will be happy going from S22U to S24U👍

[@theheightoflife]

Same here pal and from battery tests I've seen on here so far the S24 Ultra has out performed the other phones in the tests, including the S23 Ultra by quite a bit (which did better then S22 Ultra) and even the IPhone 15 Pro Max. So I am also looking forward to my Snapdragon experience 😄😁

[@theheightoflife]

@EzTips_yt This has been standard with the 'pre release' videos on most of the phones. The S22 and S23 Ultras had stability issues / camera performance blah blah. A month or so after release date and about 10 updates later (lol) all settles down so I'm not stressing really. If they made them great for release date that would be awesome but for some reason never happens 🙄✌🏼

[@mac8669]

​@@theheightoflife Im on the fence, i enjoy my s22 ultra Exynos apart from the battery life, I'd have to pay 900ish after trade in to get the 1TB model so it's an iffy decision but if the s24 ultra is the battery that lasts forever I might just do it. Future proofing is the name of the game

[@theheightoflife]

@@mac8669 Yeah I was pretty much the same as you. Didn't change to the S23 cus didn't feel it was a justifiable upgrade at the time. But bit the bullet with the S24 lol so hopefully I'll feel I've done the right thing 🤞🏻😂

This video helped! For my needs, it just isn't worth the extra money. Seems all the AI features are nice, but not the type of features I would use daily or frequently. Also, Saki is right! Some or all of these AI features will get passed down to the S23, S22 and others in the months ahead. It's worth the wait and if you find that this extra make a huge difference to your daily use, you can always consider upgrading at this time next year to the S25 Ultra. For now, I think my S22 Ultra is still a super phone.....for one more year! Great video Saki 👍

Great take on this. I'm staying with my S22U also for now! Just not enough to spend even $500+ to upgrade.

With Samsung bringing out new flagship phones every year, upgrading every year only makes sense financially to Samsung even with the massive discounts. Better to wait a few years for substantial improvements that really make it a good decision to upgrade!

I don't know if it's just me, but from what I've been seeing so far, the s24 ultra's screen seems crisper, even a bit more than the s23 ultra. Curious if that has to do with loosing the curves.

[@Gannava6]

It loses the curves, it's brighter and it uses a less reflective screen. I think I read it was something like 70% less reflective so the colours will pop even more.

[@OcheLionKing]

At the moment, the S24 ultra costs twice as much as the S22 ultra brand new. As much as the S24 ultra is significantly better, the cost is something to consider in my case

It's 2yrs old at this point... tech advances quickly.

[@Rob__James]

The s22 ultra will get most of the Ai features when the One UI 6.1 rolls out. I have upgraded every 2 years starting from the S3 to S5, S7 Edge, S9 Plus, S20 Ultra, S22 Ultra. For the first time I am considering skipping the 2 year upgrade because it doesn't seem like the S24 Ultra is a big enough upgrade.

[@dragonnuma9965]

@Rob__James according to what saki said apparently it is. I didn't think it was so dramatic but those three things I listed alone are functionally important. Galaxy is just my play phone for shows but if that's your main phone it sounds like it would be beneficial to you in real use cases. 12 gb of ram the on board Ai. And also the guarantee of 7 years of os updates and the snapdragon 3. But really you never notice these things.im not buying another one of these until 2028 unless something compelling happens. Especially with these trash trade in offers.

People should know that if you are trading in the S22 Ultra, or any trade-in, you don't get that 15% discount from the Samsung Offer Program such as Military, Student, etc. You'll see once you reach the final checkout page, that 15% shoots down to about 5% ($32.50). It won't auto-calculate the actual price until the final page which is a bit misleading. I still think it's a good deal, but just know that the price listed on the first page after you click the options, and even the 2nd page when you're selecting accessories... is not correct. The Samsung assistants say it's because they will only give the full 15% if you're not doing a trade-in. So instead of the $554 price that you said @sakitech, it would be $617.49 before taxes.

[@denniscabarle130]

I received $112.45 for the Education discount. What I wasn't able to do was check out with the headphones. They say I have to pick them up 1hr away. But if I pay full price for the headphones they are available for delivery. Seems like a little bait and switch going on here. Since the headphones are not available, you can't simply remove them, you have to re-do your entire order without them. Regardless, the price came out to $589.09 after the tax was applied. Also, it said the phone would arrive by Feb 21, 2024 but I just received an email saying it would be delivered on Tuesday, Jan. 23. We'll see.

I have yet to be convinced that the battery difference between the S22U & S24U is all that much. Assuming this isn't a brand new battery in the S22U, then it's bound to last considerably less long at this point (I have an S22U & the battery life is now a third of what it was at purchase). Also, the chip may be more efficient, but will that extra screen brightness counteract some of that battery saving benefit?

Awesome as always. Is there any chance you put screen protector and give us an update if reflection get worst? I wanna know if anti reflection works with screen protectors? Thanks in advance

[@tamidis5500]

You have to use an anti reflection screen guard to maintain that feature. Goes without saying they are much more expensive.

[@absolutezero8884]

You don't need the latest cpu or hardware or camera the ones of the s22 are more than enough and you'd barely notice any difference the battery lasts a whole day easily even with heavy usage and charges really fast with a 25W charger, there is nothing interesting enough that would justify spending double the price to upgrade it.

[@quantum3406]

I pre-ordered the s24 ultra so does that mean I get the double storage Edit: also at 1:08 you said s23 ultra. Just wanted to let you know so the community doesn't get confused

[@burjis24]

You did not compare the camera and speakers

[@jodiewilson-matthew6850]

I'm confused, I've just received my s24 ultra and the colours of the display are not as vivid as my s22 ultra and the settings are all the same?!

[@kelm1123]

I still have a balance on my S22 ultra so I have to pay that first before pre ordering. No more installing plans, I rather pay up front.

[@creativecreative9582]

Never again for me, I will be paying upfront.

[@ZZ31134]

When do you have to surrender the trade in? You need the old phone for moving your user ids like banking apps etc... can the trade in be done 4 weeka later?

[@Sob3r777]

In the Netherlands they want the trade in delivered in max 7 days.

[@Malmaddy]

Please compare between s24 ultra and pixel 8 pro

Is it worth upgrading the s21 ultra exynos edition to the s23 ultra or the s24 ultra?

[@DJ118USMC]

I am upgrading from the S21 Ultra to the S24 Ultra. I got $1000 trade in for my phone + free Storage upgrade. Seemed worth it.

[@Jtwizzle]

How the hell did you get that much trade in, Is that in USD? Even s23u were only getting 750.@@DJ118USMC

​@@DJ118USMC $1000 trade in? How?

[@DJ118USMC]

@tonypalomo23 Through Verizon. They are running some really good promos right now for the S24 line of phones.

[@jimmygreer2140]

I am upgrading from a 22u. I could've maybe waited a year but my 512gb storage is getting kinda full. I've got like 7500 flac audio files so you can imagine what kind of space that's taking. So preordered to the 1tb 24u and a Watch6 for $1040 with trading in the 22. Another issue with my 22 is that I had issues getting a glass screen protector that I liked. Cause of the curve the edges of the protector would pop up or it just didn't look like a good fit (probably expecting you to also use a case which I haven't used in like 5 years) or I would just do a bad job and there was a little speck of dust on the screen that I couldn't see. And because I didn't bother with a screen protector the oleophobic coating has worn off the screen making it pretty smudgy. So I'm really hoping this flat screen makes it easier to apply a screen protector that I can be happy with. If this is the case then I'm expecting the 24 to be a 3-4 year phone. Plenty of storage even if I double my flac music library and a pristine screen.

[@jackies_world]

This has been my issue and is literally my MAIN reason to upgrade 😂 like I keep breaking the screen protectors because the screen is curved and even this OtterBox case doesn't have enough curved protection, just the top and bottom bezels which don't help much tbh. I'm tired of also scratching the bare screen with the little things in my pockets or earrings when taking a call without headphones etc. the curved screen is also annoying to use in general. I do wish they had better colors because I loooove my burgundy S22U. It fits with all the rose gold and burgundy stuff I bought when I got my Z fold 2 in that color.

[@jimmygreer2140]

@@jackies_world I just got the 24 like minutes ago. In the process of transferring all the data so I haven't really gotten to do anything with it. I did install the screen protector that came with it. Again, the screen protector doesn't give me the coverage I desire as a "phone nudist". But it was extremely easy to install. My 22 never developed any scratches. Just a few faint ones you could only see if you were REALLY looking at it while the screen is off. But I will say that it feels even more premium than the 22. The titanium feels better than the aluminum and I think the larger side rails feels more secure...like I've got a better grip on it. It's very nice that there is a a bit of a curve to the rails.

[@jackies_world]

@@jimmygreer2140 Nice! Hope you enjoy it!! Also nice that it came with a screen protector

You keep saying S23 Ultra. It's the S24 Ultra.

Saki, pls is there a huge difference in battery life when comparing these phones? Thank you so much.

Don't know but the saki 150 dollars link doesn't open any page on my end. I switched browsers but nothing.

[@leonvanlent5069]

Wait!

[@up2noG0od]

Can you do a telephoto lens comparison (10×, 33x, 50x,etc) please? I need my 10× zoom for school plays, games and such.

[@mouth7137]

The s23 Ultra uses the same sensors on the ultrawide and telephoto lenses so you can use that while waiting.

Ill skip the the 24 and get the 26. I only get even number Galaxy phones. I've never had an odd number galaxy phone.

THANK YOU BROTHER, i didn't watch the whole video BUT THANK YOU BEYOND BEYOND BEYOND for this video, it's here for whenever i need it but right now im TOTALLY FINE WITH my s22 ULTRA

[@Daybreaker16]

With the trade in i found my save having to pay about $700 for an upgrade from a 2 year old phone to the latest phone, Samsung pre order is not a bad deal right now. And i picked up the 1TB from 512GB (no i properly don't need that much space) but personally i think it's a good deal..

[@raymondsykes2954]

As someone who has been with android for years now. I will say this. Your android out the box typically only lasts for the time it takes to pay it off with monthly updates. The speed difference between my s22 ultra to the new 24 I got today. It's astonishing. It's SOOOOO much faster there's no lag. Nothing wrong with my apps. I used to have so many app issues especially snapchat.

[@JCDvain]

I switched to an iPhone 15 Pro Max about 2 months ago now after being with Android for 6 years, and let me tell you, it's the best thing I've ever done. I have an S23 Ultra and it just feels cheap and sluggish compare to the iPhone 15.

Hi sakitech. Quick question . Yes or no ? I live in canada. should I upgrade from s21 ultra to s 24 ultra . I am getting $1000 trade in value. S24 ultra 512gb is costing me 1100 cad. What do you think ??

[@-Nathan87-]

Too bad they nerfed and dummied down the front camera by 30 mp not sure why they went from 40 to 10 L. Also no longer dust resistant just water resistant

[@ccramit]

I really don't want to upgrade but my battery has just started that super fast battery drain that is the telltale sign of a dying battery. I usually wait 4 years to upgrade my phone, but I'm thinking I might just pull the trigger after 2 years.

[@leonvanlent5069]

Get a new Battery, cost less than an upgrade!

My S22 Ultra 1TB has a 10x zoom, which I use frequently, but isn't available on the S24. Naa, no way to upgrade to an S24! I'd rather buy an S23.

[@AbuyDullah]

Is your battery life good?? How is it on ur 22 ultra

[@christinadeborahherzel-mat2397]

@@AbuyDullah About 6 hours in high brightness. I have about 700 apps installed. Some pull battery even when they aren't used. Recently I did a factory reset and then I got about 8 hours. Therefore, it is difficult to compare as battery life also depends on one's setup.

[@AbuyDullah]

@@christinadeborahherzel-mat2397 ooh thank you so much for the reply, should I get it ? I mean what's ur take on it in general as I'm looking a device to last three years.

[@christinadeborahherzel-mat2397]

@@AbuyDullah In my answer an S22/S23/S24 refers to the Ultra modells only. It depends what are your priorities. I like the 2500 nits of brightness of the S24 over the "only" 1750 nits of the S22. But I do need the 10x zoom the S22 and the S23 have, but not the S24. Therefore, I can't see that the camera of the S24 will do better for me than the S22. The higher speed of the processor isn't a critical point for me: even though the EU version of my S22 only has an Exinos, it has always been fast enough for me. But I do not do anything critical like gaming or video cutting. Both the S22 and the S23 still are top model smart phones. I recommend you to carefully compare the three models and answer to yourself whether you need the adds of an S23 over an S22 or an S24 over both S23 and S22 and if so, how much you are ready to pay for it. I am travelling a lot. Therefore, the camera and a huge memory (my S22 has 1TB!) is key for me. I am not going to pay a single cent for a phone that hasn't got more memory than my current phone and hasn't got at least the same optical zoom as my current phone. I want to have the higher brightness, but not at the cost of my most important issues.

[@neilrisley6667]

Does your discount & the education offer work for UK customers?

[@fleurviola1]

Comparing the cameras, I'm sticking with my S22 Ultra. First, I prefer the 10x zoom over the S24 Ultra's 5x. Secondly, after downloading and tweaking Samsung's Camera Assistant, I'm getting very fine results: that includes turning down the over-sharpening so prevalent in almost all smartphone cameras, including Samsung's. (For that reason, I tried and rejected Expert Raw.)
