Is it worth the upgrade?! This is my detailed camera comparison test of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs Galaxy S23 Ultra! Let's compare photo and video, insane zoom capabilities (new 5x periscope vs 10x), low-light night shots, audio samples, slow-motion, and a lot more. (This video is NOT sponsored. I purchased both phones myself.)

What a sweet video. So easy going, tons of info (no boilerplate, but unique!) and a nice case suggestion. Thank you Ben!
We were buying new phones in 2023..... There is no point in trying to update phones each year. Our S23's will run now for years to come.
😂 We have a Hype addiction
This video can be helpful for a majority of users that are coming from older devices, let's say a S21 Ultra, and they are deciding between the "latest and most expensive" or "save money and buy last years phone"
We were buying new phones in 2023 ?. Wasn't that to replace the one you bought in 2022 lol. Its the way things work now. Trust me being 66 in a month & retiringI will be in possession of the s24 ultra & out snapping away.
@AuthenTech yes well said, I am replacing a s21 ultra at end of contract. I retire in a monthso this is my travelling gadget & interest, especially photos.
😂😂 I bought basic S23 early 2023, and last week, i bought S23 Ultra. Dont know what happen to me but it felt very tempting after seeing S24 Ultra😂😂
Love it! Your camera reviews are always so detailed and enjoyable to watch
I appreciate that!
S23 ultra better photo
I've had both and this is false s24 ultra is definitely better that doesn't mean s23 is bad tho but it doesn't compare better with newest gen
@@Grave_Playz Mira los resultados.. es clara la diferencia del s23
On the s23 ultra night video zoom. You need to go into camera assistant and turn off auto lens switching. It'll look a lot cleaner.
Thank you for the tip. I wish this option was built-in to the default camera app.
Cool tip, but I can't find it in my settings
@@bohusbogdan Do you have Samsung's Camera Assistant app installed?
@@AuthenTechthat's the beauty of Samsung/Android, there's flexibility
What does that change?
Hey man. I just stumbled on your channel because of a comment on a THINK video. Glad I found you. I'm always looking for new tech KZheadrs.
Oh my goodness! I love your test video so much 🎉 I saved a lot of money, thank you!!!!!!
I'm so glad they help - thank you!
5:10 i definitely noticed a difference lol the darkness of your jacket doesn't get washed out and u can see the wording and details better
Which settings do you adjust so the 20 or even 50x zoom looks so nice?? My s22ultra looks im taking photos with a nokia 😢, blurry and so horrendous photos it shoots
The key is good lights
What camera are you using
Awesome as always! Love comparing the blue skies as the color shift is immediately noticeable year over year! Thanks Ben!!
You bet!
finally someone not sponsor.. i like that! thanks for your honest opinion! =D
How tf did you mimic exact hand movements in time and sync your speech as well in supposedly two separate recordings?
Easy to figure out. 6:18 both phones mounted on the same stand / selfie stick.
TBH the differences are so small now that how we're reviewing these devices needs to change entirely. The quality bump on any phone is not needed really... Almost any mid to high range phone these days has a good enough camera that needs a good photographer is all...
It looked like the s23 had more contrast or dynamic range or something , giving the footage just a bit more depth , which i found more pleasing. it made the s24 footage look slightly flat in comparison. Especially noticeable with the footage of the train. That's quite surprising.
Samsung s23 ultra have better Cam.
will still hold on to my s23 ultra. its still a camera champ.
How do you get the saturated blue sky to not be as much? It just looks so fake... my ultra saturates everything... how do I get it to normal mode?
I haven't found S23Ultra for half the price of S24Ultra Where can I get it that way?
I was considering buying a good smartphone for photography and video and you made it absolutely clear that I don't need to spend that much money on a smartphone. Thank you! This was very helpful. I know that iPhones are very good at it, but I can't get used to them.
I used to be a serial phone changer (I usually upgraded every 6 months), but I've stuck with the S23 Ultra since release. It's the only phone that I feel comfortable using for multiple years, and I will only probably upgrade this phone when there is a significant upgrade in night time videography.
*Heyy Ben, please review the Vivo X100 Pro and compare it with the S24 Ultra*
unfortunately i don't think vivo is popular enough..
I have bought 23ultra upgrading from s22. Very happy with this purchase. It costed me $400 less. Also I wanted that 10x over 5x 😂
I'm confused - you recommended that awesome spinning ring case, but I've checked and there's only a version for the iPhone.... But this video is for android users....
0:20 so you lied when its sponsored?
Yet, motion is still an area the camera massively struggles, and it hasn’t gotten any better this year. If anything in your shot is moving (or even if it’s not, sometimes), the end result can often be a blurry mess
How much money do you get per thousand views on tech channel and what is the rpm of tech channel?
Magnet case holders mess with the SPen! No dice for me. Comparison was well done and helpful. Tempted to upgrade from my S23U but it works flawlessly. Camera differences seem minimal. Wait for S25U. This is where a more distinctive change and perfection of S24U will happen. S24U is a transition phone. Awesome in its own right for sure but will be further improved upon.
I am coming from the 1 + 10 pro. Which is a great phone. I chose the s twenty-four ultra because i'm anticipating more upgrades and software support
I upgrade from my NOTE 20 ULTRA, cant wait to get my Orange/24Ultra / 1TB/ Unlock phone , since phones these days over $1000 , i would upgrade every few years
I would have upgraded if they included super slow motion in 4K.
Thanks for the vídeo, i will keep my S23 Ultra for 1 more year
I see Zoom on S23 Ultra is Much better than S24Ultra
Good stuff! Found your awesome channel all the way from Pakistan. 💚
Welcome
I love my S23 Ultra. But the S24 Ultra has got insanely good after the last update (march 2024).
You know you look like the guy from that GOT scene where he tells a funny story and then pee against a wall completely drunk. Then the Mountain appears behind him and smash his skull against the wall LOL. You even have his voice !!
Could you compare the s22 ultra against the s24? The s23 wasn't a significant upgrade last year and i'd love to see the difference now.
I really wish I could! Sadly I have to trade-in my prev models for the credit to buy new ones
It really is no real difference. My wife has s22 ultra. I have the s24 ultra. The difference is all in the software. When the update comes in March or April it will be the same phone.
Many say that the S22 Ultra has more realistic colours in photos and videos than the S24 Ultra.
it does NOT. I had the 22 Ultra and the 23 was a clear upgrade@@neilmcguinness4422
Are there any different adjustments or settings for the front facing camera? I just recently got the S24 ultra and i feel like it has an Ugly filter on it. Lol my Older S10plus is so much better with multiple options for skin smoothing etc. And options for skin tone like a cool , warm and natural. This new phone doesnt have any of that. It has 2 options warm or Natural. I choose natural and i look too orange or idk. And sometimes it makes my skin look like clay. I hate it. I can look in my bathroom mirror and my face looks better in real time. Im so confused
Evet ben de böyle düşünüyorum
@@kezo_fps it's cool thanks
Can you insert italian subtitles? Please
Too sad to said S24U zoom ability this year not good as S23U last year :(((. I used S23U at least 8_9 months and i can see this so clear after switching to S24U.
It isn't quite as good at 10x magnification and above in comparison to the 23 Ultra for sure. It comes closer that I thought it would though to be fair.
Obrigado pela informação vou de s23U
How much price in India S24
This should be retested after the S23'S One UI 6.1 update.
Is it me or is s24ultra photos softer
Will be upgrading from S21U to S24U, after 3 years of usage
I'll be waiting for the S26.
What smartphone are you using Ben ?
I use them all haha. I tried switching to S24 Ultra as my daily but too many difficult hurdles
just got it 2 days ago, trust me, it's worth it.
Did you come from 23 to 24?
@@anahitakhamisi192 yup, traded mine for the s24 ultra. it miles better than people think.
Quite disappointed in the S24 Ultra this year. Sure, maybe they upgraded the camera in some aspects, but in terms of zoom... I don't think so. I think s23 ultra zooms better. What's even the point of buying the s24 ultra then? They promoted their AI features quite a lot, but even the s23 series will get it. Design also pretty much the same. Hopefully they will do something impressive for the s25 ultra.
Is there's any different quality camera between oneui 5.1 vs 6 on s23 ultra
Watching on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra ❤
Upgrade from s23 u to s24 u??? Plus 200 euro less gb from 1tb to 512gb ??? What do you think?
you are looking for difference and you can hardly find , imagine during daily use, impossible to notice anything
Yo decía wow el S24 ultra esta mejor en el zoom y etc luego me di la sorpresa que era el s23 ultra, sin lugar a duda el s23 ultra está mejor
You forgot to mention the S24 series will get 7 years OS support vs the now 3 years left on the S23 series.
I mean nobody uses phone that long anyway.
@@PeterPing you obviously know very few people
@@PeterPingwrongo
I use phone for long time I am still using Galaxy Note3 since 11 years.
@@PeterPing Many are still using S10 in 2024
Oh, the upgrade is huge. Finally samsung can get rid the whitewashed effect. U can see in 23 ultra, sometimes the photo is white-washed. But in 24 ultra, it is more detailed without whitewashed effect
I think I'm gonna get an S23 ultra instead of s24 ultra
If you want to save some money, the s23 ultra is still a great option
I am gonna buy s24 ultra because i dont have either 23 u or 22 u would be a great upgrade for my j7 prime 😂
0 point in upgrading. Samsung needs to hit it out of the park with camera tech for the 25 ultra if they want ppl to upgrade from their 23 ultra. Gives us optical variable aperture zoom. A bigger sensor for ultra wide, make the zoom lens able to take macro(make this sensor size 1/1.7 at least) same with ultra wide sensor size wise, and yeah... BIGGER higher end sensors. 23 ultra will last for years to come without the want for upgrading.
Keeping my s23 ultra for now
I will the galaxy s23 ultra I will save money 🤑 thank you for ur video
Thats why i will stay on my 23 ultra 😅😅❤ maybe will upgrade to 25 ultra if i still allive 😅😅❤
Both good bro, dont too much consideration
I noticed a much bigger difference between the S23U and S24U. The S24U has much better colors and detail especially foliage and greens. Less oversharpening en better contrast. Maybe there's some variation between the same units
Having same main cameras, they could have changes just camera software (profiles) for both.
I have s24 ultra but s23 ultra is better for Photos
I think i will upgrade my phone to S 23 Ultra, from my old samsung A72 4G.
S23 is not "just as good". Yes, the upgrades are incremental, but they are there.
I hold both phones side by side and I can confirm s23 ultra is much better than s24 ultra
My camera comparison between both for pictures, the 12M at max zoom the S24U has better quality. 50M s24U at max zoom is better as well. In 200M max zoom my s23U did in fact have better quality photos where you can see a bit better more detail.
If you didn't have both phones would you upgrade?
@@asoftstring5533 depending on what phone I had and if I had the funds for it. Besides that I would have said yes during pre order as I got a s24U 512gb for around 458$. I say get one and be a galaxy member as you can get great deals and you can pay less than 20$ a month to purchase an ultra, less models can pay up to as little as 10$ a month for a new base s24 and you won't have to pay no interest!! I'd recommend to become a samsung member as you can get up to 24 months and pay the 0% interest on it. You can find good deals samsung also has appliances and a see through flat screen but yea pretty cool stuff!
@@asoftstring5533 id say get one as you can try out the AI tech as well for free until the end of 2025.
@asoftstring5533 yea I would have upgraded during the pre order as I think I got the best deal paying under 500$ for an s24U 512gb under 20$ a month for it for 24months 0% interest.
But i like detail desihn of thw s24 ultra
the AI post photo processing of s24 ultra on 200mp, 50mp and food mode, really sucks and disgusting, when you go to your gallery pictures are dark and pixelated, hope samsung will fix it
Think I've got a fake s23, picture quality is pants compared to in this video 🙄
Do you think the s24 ultra just need more time with updates to improve the cameras. It's not bad at all, but s23 does look a bit better some cases
No worth upgrade s23 ultra still beast
Nice 👍
So s23 ultra zoom is better than s24 ultra? non sense...
I just got my S24 ultra yesterday, and I've been comparing it with my S23 ultra, and I can confirm the zoom is a downgrade
S23u won haha
23 ultra 💪
Can't wait to see how future updates will affect the S24 ultra. It's a super capable phone...
Close AI and try again zoom test.
Trade in your s23 ultra
23🏆
If you buy the S24 Ultra, you've gone backwards
Watch from pakistan 🇵🇰 dude
Ermmm.. maybe I'll stick with my s23 ultra first.
Well here's whats new AI thats all photos and videos look like a marginal improvement. Not Worth the upgrade or evwn to buy a s24 rather save a bunch of money and get a s23
s23 ultra has 120fps at 1080p option in pro video mode.
I understand, thank you. S24 Ultra has 120fps at 4K. Major step up
I have s24 ultra but s23 ultra is better for Photos
S23 best
بسیار عالی ❤❤❤
s23 ultra better

I sold my s24 ultra and I'm in love with OnePlus open , is the best phone ever ❤
