Amazing video. You always make great videos when it comes to reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S23/S24 Ultras and the Samsung Galaxy S Series in general. I have the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and I wont be planning on upgrading until the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra comes out which will be when my phone stops receiving updates.

[@szymon1045]

It's worth to note that S24 Ultra has the most advanced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SOC, but Samsung's software limitation is holding back audio capabilities of the new CPU. No aptX Adaptive support? Seriously? They offer older codecs, even their own SSC, but not the latest tech. Let's demand Samsung unlock our phones potential! #aptXAdaptive #SamsungCommunity Samsung Istarted this topic on the community page a few days ago and it is getting lots of attention through Samsung Members. Let's make Samsung do something about it, showing that we care about our audio experience on our new flagship Smartphones!! We want to spread the awareness of this problem. Lack of APTx HD / older specs of APTx Adaptive or even LHDC for Lossless Audio that phone supports 24bit audio via FLAC is a problem that Samsung have been skipping since S23 Ultra release ignoring needs of many audio enthusiast. I would appreciate someone discussing this in a YT video to raise the awareness in the community of existing S24 Ultra owners and people looking to buy it.

Literally no one uses their phone for 7 years straight. If you're planning on using your phone for 7 years and want it to stay updated then yeah s24u may be better. But I change my phone every 4 years so s23u is still good to me. The camera works fine, and now we have the ai features as well. Plus I just like the color lavender too much. Samsung should be more creative when it comes to color decisions of their flagship phones. And I like the iconic curved edge screen, it's not too much on the s23u compared to the s22u, it doesn't even bug me when using the s pen.

That's totally fair. The s24 ultra isn't even worth it over the s21 or s22 ultra IMHO outside of Samsung just not updating the software. Phones have gotten to the point that upgrading is only necessary if you break your phone.

(Instead of payments) I'm so glad that I grabbed this phone. It's a beast. It's like your only using a portion of it's power. I love "Live Translate" when Spam Callers bug me. I woke up at 7a to 7p & I was at 79% on the battery, since the latest updates. I don't care about AI. My S22 Ultra would basically already do "Circle to Search". Just open gallery, choose something in a photo & hit the "eye icon" top right & same search feature.

And that was even before I realised the S23U now had the AI features that were really the only selling point of the S24U. As I got it refurbed (good as new), I got it for even less - literally HALF the price the equivalent S24U phone (512GB storage) would've been. Essentially the same phone, but half the price!

My point is I hope to have this phone for a long time and get all of my money's worth out of it. Even then I won't be trading it in. This has been the best phone I've ever got to experience in my life, and I'm so happy just knowing I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

I'm not crazy about the perpetual right angles and flat slab Flintstone look of the s24 ultra. Seriously, it looks like a glass casket. They haven't designed a truly good looking device since the s21 ultra. You'd think for $1,300 that Samsung could design a phone that didn't summon up visions of a funeral home.

[@cousinjuno]

I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max and upgraded from the S2 one ultra and I have to admit that I do miss the extra zoom. I am considering trading in my iPhone for the S 24 ultra which has double the zoom which would be more than enough or possibly waiting to see what the 25 offer. I am visually impaired so zoom certainly plays a large and very important part of my camera and photo experience. Were not for that I don’t know how much it would matter. I have also found that android allows me to enlarge more pages Than the iPhone does such as Amazon and from here on out I will probably be a Samsung man. If I had the 23 ultra I would probably stay there for several more years as it just looked like the F2 four ultra is not that much of an upgrade. Great video, you have a friend in Columbus Ohio!

I always get the unlocked version so I don't have to deal with the carriers bulls#$@. They offered a good trade-in price so I ordered it. When it came in I ran it through its paces and quickly noticed it no longer support mobile hotspot. For those who don't know Android phones come free with mobile hotspot sharing. But the carriers lock that down on every phone because they want to charge you $20 more months for that free feature.

3:36 you think the s23 odds a 2 day phone? 😂🤣 guess I blew past heavy user because I end up charging my phone twice a day

[@shepherdkamumvuri1662]

I have the Snapdragon S22 Ultra.. It still feels good. I will only upgrade to the S26 Ultra or the Pixel 10 Pro.

[@XDAVideo]

Still a great phone!

[@steviecoleman9260]

I'll stay with my S22 ultra works great!

[@thetrendywarthorg]

I've been following Reviews on Samsung Flagship phones...and I prefer the s23 ULTRA even i don't have one...😂... Hoping to get one in a week

[@ljgehd]

Personally i prefer the waterfall edge of S23 Ultra, i also like the speaker grill design on the bottom a bit better lol

[@scottjames2972]

I've never had any luck with Samsung products

[@JamilIssa]

Alot ot this information is fake price of s23 ultra or 24 ultra the same in Europe and UK he talking about USA only

[@Wasted117.]

s24 has too many screen issues. found s24ult for £775 new, but those mura issues are sucky. gonna go for s23ult

[@clear9104]

this channel is the only good thing left about XDA honestly

[@lbeetech]

You are going to put the S24 Ultra in a case, so the sharp corners don't make a difference..

[@ivanterzic]

As far as I know for sure, I will not buy Samsung products until they change their policy and attitude towards customers! I own an S 23 Ultra, but their humiliation of non-US, UK, and Korean customers extremely annoying. Are they worth $1500 more in those countries than in the rest of the world, to be discriminated against and deprived of some of the most important options, such as the Good Lock module, pressure measurement on the Watch 6 Classic or televisions without Samsung TV +? They have become more and more expensive, which will cost them dearly, and it is already starting, because it is their best-selling, cheapest phone model! I owned two Xiaomi models, which I received as a gift, MI 11 special edition and MI 11 Ultra, they were incredible, and in terms of features, which Samsung does not allow everyone, phenomenal devices and then I ask myself, why would I waste money, that is, give it to someone who does not respect my money!? I will wait for the release of the Pixel 9 Pro, because I read on the forums that the hardware quality of the previous phones was bad, so I'll decide, should I stay on Android or should I switch to the safe variant, which is not really my favorite, and buy I-phone 16 Pro Max!? I have been a loyal Samsung customer since the advent of smartphones but they excelled by every measure, and they even started to flaunt other manufacturer feathers, specifically Google's AI, as their greatest achievement. I don't want humiliation and discrimination! If you advertise something, like exclusive, but you beat me and only when I buy what you advertised and see that it is unaffordable to me, what can I say, except that they are scammers, and this is how they started behaving since the "war" for flagships began phone between them and the I-phone, forgetting that some other manufacturers also make great phones! So, I was planning to switch to the S 24 Ultra, and since I'm rambling so much I can't come up with an answer, if I buy their latest flagship, will I be able to use everything they advertise and I still get no answer, I have given up on it and will change manufacturers! Just so there's no confusion, I know I can install all functions through a third party, but I don't want to do that. I want to get from the manufacturer what I paid for and that is a very expensive phone!

[@adriansutton6880]

Currently have a note 9, I don't have 24 ultra money so Ill probably stick to the 23 ultra

[@roa5359]

As a decade or so long samsung user (ever since the Galaxy S7) I have to say their photo quality has increasingly deteriorated (better night time results, worse daytime photos) and lately never really reached the one of the iphone, especially not the one of the 14 or 15pro. Just look at DXO results/review. I currently have an S22 and photo quality is abysmal, there is no other word to describe it. My g/f's iphone 14 pro is vastly superior in most aspects. Don't even start me on video. Samsung's face detection is a joke, why do they even bother and the fingerprint reader doesn't work half the time with a screen protector, even with screen sensitivity increased! Battery life is shoddy. - Year after year I give them another chance and usually am taken in by features, most of which I never use! In addition to all of this, as if it wasn't enough, us Europeans also get screwed with a processor which usually comes second to the Qualcom derivative. This year my chosen handheld is the iphone Pro. The only thing I still need to figure out is Max or smaller Pro. I had two Notes in succession and then changed to the S22 because of size. Occasionally, but not often, I miss the larger size. More often than not, especially in summer, I'm glad for the pocketability of the smaller phone. Now the pen of the 'Note' is a great gadget and one I did use occasionally but not enough to make this the feature I really need. Plus the S24 Ultra is an absolute brick. Soon enough you'll find yourself wishing for a smaller phone. 'Are you just pleased to see me ... '? Even on the older Notes, the phones were more uncomfortable to hold, pocket and operate one handed. At least they've gotten rid of the horrible curved screens but the sharp corners are clearly form over function and will make pocketability, or what's left of it, nigh on impossible. As to operating systems, honestly, I prefer Android but once you accept the limitations on ios, its ok and you appreciate how good the things you have work. I use a Macbook Pro M2 and so far resisted the iphone for stupid reasons, it's changing now. Samsung = Jack of all trades ... master of none.

[@stevanb.2590]

Noone seems to mention that (already pretty weak) camera experience gets worse every year. Replacing my S23U with 14 Pro Max, after 7 years of using only Samsung flagships, was breath of fresh air

[@CocoyNiyo]

Again, those complaining about sharp corner, those have ladies hands. This phone is for real men.

[@Railkers101]

I like the ultra but I am using the normal s24, I like my phones to fit in my small hands better.

[@gideonmensah4538]

please let me kno.

[@carljohnson5034]

the zoom of the 23ultra is clearly better lmao

[@innocent-IC]

And who are u to be telling people what they should do?

[@shepherdkamumvuri1662]

Relax...who are you?

[@innocent-IC]

GO TO HELL @@shepherdkamumvuri1662

[@derrickcovey]

[@parshakamarsh]

Flower display??

[@AlexandrosPapadakis-zj9or]

No comment for the bullshit screen???? Nobody? 8 bit washed out colours even after the update..grainy display...!!!

[@rodrigomedinavaldez4504]

I just got s24 ultra yesterday. I am selling s24 ultra instead s23 ultra cause s23 ultra has better display. Better color and brightness.

[@jafaralam4380]

[@raichisan161]

Help guys I won a customized S24 ultra phone case and I love It but the phone is still expensive now can S23 Ultra fit S24 ultra CASE ? don't need to be perfect fit I'm good as long as it doesn't fall off 😂 thanks all ❤

[@Wasted117.]

i dont think so.

[@raichisan161]

@Wasted117. thank u I don't think so too 😂 diff is 0.3mm

[@ThePeanutHunter]

If it wasn't for the free watch 6 and low £480 cost after trade in, I wouldn't have upgraded my 8gb S23U to get a 12gb S24U. In 12 months time the S24U will offer more trade in value and have a higher resale value. It remains to be seen if the S25U will improve enough and what preorder offers they do to tempt upgrading again.

[@jdsd_]

The pre-order and trade in offers are always insane imo, they had a "every brand, every condition" trade in this year, where you got 250€ off for ANY Smartphone you trade in. I send my 10 year old Huawei with broken display thats worth nothing xD plus the watch 6 which is worth 300€ at least and an additional 15% off if you use the samsung shop app to buy. Pretty insane Meanwhile Apple: "Oh you wanna trade in your IPhone 14 Pro Max with 512gb you bought last year for 1.700€? We will give you 500 for it!"

[@stevep4236]

S23 is future proof for at least 5 years, no need to upgrade imo
