Just wondering about the sim card for s24 - read it was dual sim but you mentioned it fits just one sim card? Is that the case because I pre- ordered and may have to cancel if it's just one sim! Thank you!
It's Definitely just ONE SIM card tray..
I ordered an s24 ultra in titanium grey (512GB) I can't wait!
Congratulations. I ordered s24 ultra titanium voilet (512GB) and I can't wait.
I got the 1TB!! So excited!
@inartaly same here
I got mine in the blue, apparently coming in 9 more days
I pre-ordered the 512GB in black. I got $1000 in trade in credit for my S20 FE through my phone carrier. Crazy deal since my S20 FE was never worth $1000 even when it was new 3 years ago.
The s24U is less reflective because it has anti flare built into the display. It’s not because of it being flat. Nice video overall.
if we put screen reflector, is it still less reflective compared to s23u?
I've ordered the s24 ultra but to me the s23 ultra whites look whiter?
@@tom16888 honestly that’s a good question. Sometimes it may have that effect where it can possibly negate the anti glare, but it doesn’t seem like it’s like a super etched anti glare panel. I think you’d be fine. My phone has never bothered me in the past but I’ll let you know once mine comes in.
Amazing feature that should be spoke more about. Makes the screen perfect.
My phone Galaxy S24 Ultra internal storage is 2147483647GB
From iphone 14 pro to s24 ultra im excited been a while since i had android but always wanted to go back
Could you elaborate a bit? Why did you go back?
@@Magnetarium I kinda just missed it i been using ios for a good 6 years but always wanted to go back an this phone deal sealed it for me love both of them both great softwares
I'm proud of you 👏 that you went back to android 🍎 is old news
Iphone 13 to s24 ultra 🎉❤
It's the first Ultra I realy consider buying! Flat screen and beautiful clean design really does it for me. Looking forward to the upcoming regular and plus videos also.
Just ordered my S24 Ultra in orange. So glad to see this unboxing. Going to need to refer back to it as a kind of tutorial. Excited to get it!
You can use either navigation styles.....buttons or gestures. Both work fine for circle to search. Both are still available to choose from in settings
I bought the 1TB orange one with S-view case & clear one...cant wait get them all next month!
Find a sugar daddy or sugar mama whatever float your boat, I living Pay check to paycheck and live as a security guard, I'm only bought this because my 4 years old as I bought it brand new Note 20 ultra is not gonna get any more updates this year says by Samsung...
Tbh his the first review that has shown all colors provided for the US. Thanks for that.
The ability to switch between lenses in 4K60 is something that's really going to benefit my trainspotting videos (which I've been shooting on my Note 10+ for the past four years).
You gonna upgrade to the Galaxy S24 Ultra from your Galaxy Note10+?
I got note 10 plus but waiting for s25

Great vid. Not too technical. Spoken at a normal pace. Like listing to a buddy tell some thing new and interesting. Thank you. I have a s24 on preorder
Hey Shane I like your video I also ordered my s24 ultra I pre-ordered it I got a good discount I traded in my s22 but I also own an s23 and ultra and I got 650 off I got a couple of cases I got a 150 credit so totaled less than $600 so that's a good deal but you got a great video there I'm glad you showed all those little things keep up the good work man take care and happy New Year😅😅😅😅😅

I'm probably getting this for my Birthday!!! S24 Ultra 512GB, Titanium Grey. Currently using S22+ 256GB, Phantom Black
256gb is enough
That's funny, I also went from S22+ to S24 Ultra!🤭
@@retirementkhabibnurmagomed7280for real. Samsung fucking over these idiots so easily
preordered the s24 ultra in titanium black 512 gb being delivered today. i cant wait to use those features on the camera as i take alot of pictures. those bezels are crazy thin too
Having S10 after 5 years and before S8 few year and can't wait for S24 Ultra 1TB. Thanks for video.
I'm so excited to get my hands on the new S24 Ultra 512gb in Grey. I've been a loyal fan of Samsung Note/Ultra series ever since they came out. I only missed two models, but I don't regret it. This phone is going to be amazing. I can't wait to see what it can do.
cant wait for what? It does all the same shit as all your previous phones. Call, Text, Web, Camera. Is it gonna dance around around for you?
@@alfredooliva5175Bro is a hater
@alfredooliva5175 😂 forreal, its the same as s23 ultra
@@Vsinghs 😆 These people crack me up
@@alfredooliva5175well you can say that with every thing. Buying a new car, makes you excited. But your old one still does the same job, it drives u where u are going. Its about the principle of having a new piece of tech. With improved systems. Faster, battery last longer. Prettier screen. Etc.. I dont see your comment valid for an agreement
I just pre-ordered one of these. Upgrading from an S8. Can't wait to get it!
a s8? Wow! That's a big upgrade! I'm happy for you hahahaha
Same here. my S8 still kicking. Bought it 2017. lol now i have switch to S24 Ultra
Bro from an S8 what a legend!
Well done! Thank you.
This was the best video to actually have a look at the phone. I ordered mine yesterday and am dying to receive it
Cant wait to see you unboxing S24+ and official case
Duh I am actually watching this video from a S24 Ultra
Ordered mine in Titanium Violet. Delivery date is 2/9, hasn’t shipped yet. Sweet Molly pup! 🌞👍👍
I can't wait for my grey s24 ultra. I went with the 1tb this time since I download movies and TV shows all the time.
Did u find the spen this year is a bit loose when inserted inside the phone?
Ordered Titanium Grey 1Tb. i can't wait to get it
It's my dream phone, can someone give me one, I need it to study in the engineering department, and I can't get it
While I will miss the Fold 5, I decided to trade it in for the S24 Ultra. It's just a more capable phone I pre-ordered it in the exclusive online Titanium 💚 Green in the 512GB. Beyond excited ☺️
u made a huge mistake the folding device is amazing i have fold 5 and waiting for fold 6 which will be a huge redesign
I also traded in my fold5 s24 ultra violet 512 GB. I will probably trade s24 Ultra for the fold 6 if it is a true upgrade over f5
@@digitaldeath1876 all rumours is that it will be a redesign in fold 6 Wider cover display and Snap dragon Gen 3 and Ai features from s24 and peak brightness 2600 Nita
I also did the trade in with fold 5 .if zfold 6 is a decent upgrade over the fold5 like a wider cover display. I will be pre-ordering the fold 6.
@@digitaldeath1876 it will be a wider display bro and the event will take place in July
Does it allow you to add a black bar at the top, so that you can't see the notch. My S10+ allowed me too.
I traded my 14pro max and preordered the s24ultra in Titanium Orange (free silicone case and Galaxy Watch 6 40mm), will be delivered probably around Feb19. Cant wait, but Im anxious, I hope I did made the right decision to switch from ios to Android. Its been 7years since I had an android phone.
Why the wait delivery? Mine says by the 31st
Where did you get your pre-order from to get a free case and watch?
I just received my one,I upgraded from s21 ultra both phones are amazing.
Great video and information! I want one…….thanks !
I got mine too but i have problem i think. Did you notice in dark mode grainy/noise/gritty/sandyish (i am not sure howi can explain i think black crush) on the screen. Espacially it seems with low brigthness and in gray/Green/ dark blue background screens. It is more obvios when you are indoors and dark rooms-no lights. Set your brightness %20-40 and look at the screen closely in dark room Is it because of the new panel or just my screen is defect?
So i have a zfold 4, which takes horrible low light photos. Also, the bending mechanism is already going into a v shape when fully unfolded. Would this be worth upgrading to. i used to own an s21 ultra, but it didn't have an spen at the time. the spen versatility with the cameras is what's drawing me to this phone would it be worth upgrading.
I preordered S24 ultra in titanium grey (256GB) it just came today.... I am so excited
just ordered the 512gb titanium gray. can't wait for this bad boy
Woa! How did you get rid of the spoon in the bowl? What editor/app did you use? 😂 that was my favorite part of this video 😂
i actually ordered the s24 then the 24 plus but i finally came to my senses an ordered the ultra i wanted the orange , it sold out so i picked the green one im excited
Just checked the site and 5 of 8 colors are dated out to march. I am interested in the sidings on the green. Good choice
xcited for what? It does all the same shit as all your previous phones. Call, Text, Web, Camera. Is it gonna dance around around for you?
@@alfredooliva5175😢
Ordered the orange but won't be here until March 7...which is ok
@@alfredooliva5175 disappointment iPhone user huh .....stop hating
I'm getting this next week in 1TB Titanium Violet. Can't wait.
Me too! Can't wait. Titanium gray 1T.
Did you get a tracking number?

@alfredooliva5175 why did you come to this video? Lol
Amazing review thank you for sharing👌.
Thank you for this video, just bought 2 ultras for me and my wife and now have no regrets.
I pre-ordered a titanium green 24 Ultra and I got an email at midnight telling me my phone was on its way and should be here by Friday 🎉
I know it's ip68 but can you use screen while it's raining? My s22 ultra won't let me zoom and i know the new one plus 12 has rain touch.
Got mine last Friday. Beautiful phone. Coming from an S23 there is really not that much of a difference.
It's crazy how AI generates the cloud behind the post. The way it knows what to add behind the post it's mindblowing.
So watched unboxing and now time to order it somehow. 😊
What Bluetooth codecs are shown under developer options?
just pre ordered mine. no freebie, no trade in but 38% off thanks to a hommie employee discount! so stoked!
The AI feature is great. But what about the audio sound? Is there any difference between s23 ultra and s24 ultra?
So how do you get the screen colors to "normal" on the S24U?
Is it trouble to send videos or images in messages like u need to trim it can’t send it or a link when u wanna send something
I pre-ordered the S24 Ultra in BLACK 512GB and coming on 26 januari and i got it €920,- via Samsung Members "Early Bird" without trade in my current samsung note 9, but via note4 😁 Crazy deal and can't wait!
Is it true that AI features will come with a subscription after 2025? and what will be the price of them
Why they keep on separating the travel adapter and the earphones?
I'm not sure which colour to get the grey is really nice but the yellow which looks more gold than yellow is stunning.
I’m digging the purple myself
@@drestrick3899oh I bet both oglf you dirty individuals do prefer those boujee feminine colors.
Do they have Esim? Or is it a physical sim card??
I just ordered the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in Titanium Violet and I'm so excited to pair it to my galaxy watch 6 44mm smart watch ❤❤ I'm also looking for the best phone case for it .
1 TB storage of space is very good for big files. Amazing, smartphone.
1TB for the win
Bit overkill for smartphone
Absolutely love it! I want one of those 🤔
Watching from my s24 ultra ❤
Have a feeling these shipments will be delayed, my account says deliver by Jan 31 but when looking at order page most of the 1TB models now say shipping in March some of the 512 also shipping in March now
Can't wait for the case review. Thank you for your review
i enjoy this so much my brother is amazed thanks for ur video :)
You do not have to hold the bar, just hold and release.
got mine today. When I compare side by side with my previous Galaxy, the S24 ultra's screen looks like colors are faded, feels like blacks are less black is there a way to adjust that? (not the display vivid/temperature)
This is due to the coating to make it anti glare. It's still vivid according to all these reviews. Anyways, how'd you get it already?
I've ordered a s24 256GB (and it comes with a galaxy watch 6 40mm for free!!!), I can't wait to get my hands on it, my actual phone it's a Xiaomi Mi9T
What i hated was when i would draw in penup with S23 ultra, the S pen couldn't get the right colors being it had a lil edge
Still waiting for my violet S24 Ultra. Hope it does not get delayed due to the number of preorders.
I just checked the site and a lot of colors are showing ship dates of March already
@ShaneSymonds I have a March ship date :( changed within an hour of putting in cart
Can the S-Pen work with the S24 PLUS ?? Or are other pens / stylus compatable ?
No S Pen compatibility on S24 / Plus, you could just use a random touchscreen stylus you have lying around but definitely not the same as S Pen
@@ShaneSymonds Why is this? And can another stylus have Bluetooth functionality for take photos with S24+ ?
Hay shane,I am planning to buy the s24 altra mobile 512gb variant, what is the price
I had a Galaxy S23 that I was planning on keeping until next year but I ended up switching providers as I'm getting a better deal with another provider than I was getting with my previous provider and I ended up getting this phone with the new provider. I am loving this phone even more than my S23. This is my first Galaxy Ultra and it's an amazing phone. Battery life is awesome on it and the performance is great. I'm still getting used to the huge ass screen compared to the S23 though. Lol.
Is it possible to multitask OSRS and other applications?
Definitely
Preordered today
When is your eta?
@@frank2011ab valentines day
Awww, I'm gunna miss the curved edge... I still have an s10 plus and it's one of my favorite features of the phone...
Returning my new iPhone and getting this today. Can’t wait
Got the z fold 4 love it!!!!
if you want to go to gestures just go to your display settings and scroll down to navigation bar
I wonder why they did that with the Navigation gestures.. I always use it with no back buttons or anything. wow
Sdynamic super almond better than retina xdr ++??
New to the phone but early feeling is very positive...after just 2 hours of use!
I pre ordered my galaxy s24 ultra in titanium blue, Jan 31st can't arrive soon enough!!
Just unboxing mine, titanium grey
Can we still use the case of s23 ultra into the new s24 ultra?
i can't believe not a single reviewer on youtube tested the 4K 120 fps recording video!!!
I heard about it as I was working on the video (this is first impressions, after all) I am very interested in testing it out
I think battery on those 2 first days sounds too soon, phone will learn on how you use the battery in the couple weeks, I did pre-ordered mine and I feel it's coming soon since I got a notification "label created" from Samsung 😁
OldSchool Runescape. A man of culture I see
I received mine on the 26th, and I have the option for the home button. I didn't have the navigation bar.
Being shorter, the s24 ultra is wider than the s23 ultra because the screen being flat. For years we've been losing a lot of screen real state with the useless edges.
Hi, i am not sure if you have used or not but any suggestions which phone to select between Samsung S24 Ultra and IPhone Pro or Pro max? I am planning to buy one of them, have watched bunch of reviews only to get confused more. Please help.
Whichever OS you prefer since those two phones are their high end phones.
@@Azu10157S24U offers 7 years of OS and security support. The S23U is very good but you might as well get the newer model. Unless that guy is already using an S23U.
@@Azu10157 Thank you so much for replying ✌🏻
@@Gurenn83 Thank you so much for replying ✌🏻
Im giving my 15 pro max to my mum and getting the s24 ultra , a much better phone get it
I just got my S24 ultra and yeah I really hate that I can't get rid of that annoying bar at the bottom of the phone. I hope there will be a next update to fix this just like the one in my S22 ultra
thank you for a good review! might switch from iphone to this
Mines will arrive tomorrow yay!!!
I currently have the S22 Ultra. Would it be worth upgrading from my current model?
I was in the same boat as you. I have s22u as well and i went to best buy to check out 24u and after playing with it for a bit i pulled a trigger on s24u 1tb..i love my s22u but this phone feels amazing
Beautiful phone samsung really turn to batman mode to upgrade the whole phone to ai the new design of this phone is amazing to see the titanium finish really made the phone more premium im saving money to buy one from my old budget samsung phone can't wait to get it ❤
Honestly I am being sceptic if I want to replace my s23u with s24u. I like edge display more than flat one, for me personally edge looks more modern and was something that outstands lower grade s models. I guess I will wait for s25u but probably gonna be the same looking device just with boosted features. Also removing gestures on a new UI is taking the pleasure for many users, I like the full screen without any gesture buttons showing at the bottom...
Which is your wrist watch model ??
Im upgrading from a note20ultra that constantly overheats. That curved edge display gets annoying after a while, i actually look forward to a flatter screen again
Imagine upgrading from Galaxy A50 to this Galaxy S24 series, this is mindblowing!
Since i have the s23U, even though the new colours and ai features intrigued me, I'll wait for the s25 or s26. There's just still too much similarities especially the design. But man that orange one looks good
Excited for mine in yellow (512gb) :D upgrading from s22u
Great video, im going to get one & sell my s23 ultra, but not sure what colour to get yet, might be the blue or grey.
5 of 8 colors are already pushed back to March in US
