  • FYI: The S Pen is a great tool for taking photos. I love having a remote to take photos. I use it a lot when taking photos from a moving vehicle, where I can keep a steady hand and not move the camera by pushing the shutter button on the phone to take a photo. It's also great when taking a selfie. You can hold the phone at arms length and use the S Pen to take the photo instead of trying to hit the shutter button with the same hand holding the phone. Try it, you may really like it!

    • I also use it for that purpose on my Note 10+ quite often - you can also zoom with a gesture using the s-pen, at lease on my note. I guess it is there on the S24 ultra as well. And apart from photography it has a lot of nice uses (not counting my young daughter painting with it...). I wonder why Samsung does not mention any of ti nowadays.

  • What I found with the S23U is that you don't need Night mode for taking night shots, and that you in fact get better photos from just shooting standard, main lens, photo mode. It gives you a longer exposure anyways, and stabilizes it just the same as the night mode.

  • S Pen stylus is super handy just the truly handy thing go under the radar usually. My favourite and most used feature is the translate feature when you hover over anything on screen (even works with youtube videos or photos) and it is translated. Also there is an spen mmagnifier, also very handy in apps where you cant zoom into something, you hover over the part you want to magnify in a popup. Quick note is also i use a lot, that without unlocking the device you just pop out the pen and you can jot down things...

  • Looking at this video and also the one from Pixel 8 Pro and the DSLR to iphone comparison I see that you finally did what I have been missing for years: honest reviews of smartphone cameras from a photographer (and videographers) perspective, looking at aspects that are relevant for photography with a solid background on "real" cameras. This is what to date no review, be it on websites, dead trees or youtube did. I also liked that you took the effort to really shoot interesting scenes and subjects that actually show each mode and focal length for what it is useful for - and not like 99% or reviewers: point camera out the window and shoot the front yard and then begin to pixel peep the ugly results. So many thanks for your really helpful reviews, I gave them a thumbs up and subscribed your channel and look forward to more interesting stuff. I actually ordered the S24 Ultra now - have the feeling that the iPhone 15 Pro max is substantially better camera wise, but since I am locked in the Android Ecosystem I took the second best choice (for me). And I actually do love the S-Pen and Dex!

  • The Samsung gallery app is a big winner along with the SPen. I recently switched to a Motorola phone and I really miss the Samsung Gallery app - the image eraser function which is kinda buried within the editing functions is unbelievably good. The video editing functions to trim and crop the aspect ratio is also underated vs overall ease of use. The only thing Samsung has goofed on, is removing the ability to use any image as a sticker - made putting people's faces into memes easy as pie. Smart select to create gifs is easier with the SPen to frame what you are looking to capture and because the SPen is essentially a mouse, you can press play in KZhead and then "click" record with the SPen on the screen

  • I use the S23 Ultra and iPhone and view them as basically a replacement for a point-and-shoot, and nothing more. You can't defy physics, and large sensors and lenses just produce different results. All of the vids proclaiming "bettar than full frame!" "I shot a feature film on iPhone!" are just clickbait and paid marketing posts. My favorite was the Sony claim that their new amazing Xperia phone sensor is similar in low-light performance to a full-frame A7... it's impressive what these marketing folks can say with a straight face.

  • Which encoder would you recommend for filming, aiming for the best image quality in 4K videos at 30 FPS for KZhead, such as for a travel video? I know that the H.265 encoder is claimed to offer the same quality as H.264 but with half the required data. However, I prefer H.264 encoding because the decoding of H.265 data significantly extends the editing time in my editing software. Personally, I don't mind that it consumes more data, as editing time and compatibility are more important to me. Currently, I am confident that I would exclusively use the H.264 standard (bitrate around 48,000 kbits). However, there is an additional parameter in the advanced video settings for HEVC (H.265) called "High Bitrate Videos." Enabling this option provides a bitrate of around 80,000 - 90,000 kbits when recording with H.265, almost twice as high as H.264 or H.265 (without selecting higher bitrate). How can this be, and is the image quality significantly better? Unfortunately, I cannot perceive any difference in image quality myself. If the image quality were truly much better, I would even consider switching from H.264 to H.265 (High Bitrate) and accept the poorer compatibility and convenience in the editing software for it.

The rumours are Sony IMX8xxx series but it would be good to know the sensor size. The iPhone 15PMax 5X tele can produce some decent images but you can tel its just a small 12MP sensor. I was hoping for something more from Samsung in the S24U but it does appear to be a modest, incremental upgrade. Still buying one though to upgrade from my S22U!

But I miss the IR port that I have in Note4 and use it a lot for TV/projectors, air conditioning remote, camera remote etc. Also audio Jack is basic thing that should be in any phone. And other thing is user replaceable battery. So the Galaxy Note 4 was the last one having all these features... and I still use it.

  • Overall a pretty great video. Only thing is it says it is for photographers but then they do a lot of talking about all the other features and basically down playing them in my opinion. No one saying the phone is perfect and yes some of the new features will eventually come to other Androids and even Apple at some point mainly speaking of the Google features as Google is pretty much on any and every phone. But isn't that all phones. Pretty much any feature on a new upcoming phone will eventually be coming to other new and upcoming phones and even trickle down to some of the older models. The thing is it is new for this phone now so it is the first to have the feature which is the case with most new features okay so therefore the S-Pen is a nice feature that only it has and most other phones will probably never have

Internal marketing teams overpromise, bigwigs love the timeline and sign off, then the tech teams have to scramble to meet the press date of release. It's been this way forever, against consumer and developer sentiment, unlikely to ever change. This was my number one gripe working in big tech companies. "Scrambling" caused health and family issues. People create these devices, and they sacrifice a lot to get them in the hands of consumers.

  • Just wanted to check: when the video description says its using the internal audio, that means you're recording with the phone's built in mic even though the host is also wearing an external mic (i assume as a backup), right?

  • Great video. So it still suffers from variable frame rate? That has caused me serious frustration. If you see any of my exploring videos filmed with my s22 Ultra it is ao obvious when mixed with other cameras. Also thought audio sounded worst than on my 22 ultra... Hope im wrong. Just pre ordered 😂

  • Question: will it better to just stick with 200MP on the mode and let the phone decide on the max MP to use when you use different lenses instead of just stick 12MP mode for all lenses?

  • I use the S-pen a lot and was looking forward to upgrading from the S23U, but I really like my 10x lens for architecture and taking reference photos for my sketching. I'm a bit disappointed that they downgraded that. Makes me not excited about this phone.

    • Dude, I have a Note 9 and still see no reason to upgrade. They only removed hardware features und added cheap software updates, that they don't hand down to older devices. Only reason would be the 7y of updates. But since my priority is to be able to root I don't care about these useless blings. All reviewers seem to be housewifes nowadays not even telling people about the missing features and the fact the manufacturers don't give you the admin password for the hardware you just bought leaving you with a brick the day they abandon the device. Just sucks.

    • I agree on the 10X. You can sell that cropping story to the masses but not photographers who know the difference that optical quality has. The thing is while yes, the 10X was not my most used camera, it was so nice to have it when I did need it. Iboften found myself using 30 and 100X for work related reasons I never even dreamed I'd need it for. My leadt used camera if anything was the 3X. This makes me wonder why not give the 50mp sensor to the 3X so it could cover the spread to 10X better with cropping. That way you wouldn't loose your main differentiating feature to cater to reviewers comparing this to the IPhone. If your users wanted an IPhone they'd buy one. But they don't! Lastly, the main thing stopping me from trying a foldable was the lack of better cameras. Now that the Ultra lost that wdge I think I may try a fold next, just to see what it's like.

    • Agree on the 10x. Have a S22 Ultra now and expected that the S24 Ultra would be my next phone. Might go for an S23 Ultra if still available when the time comes or maybe one of the non-Ultra S24.

  • Ha, I was wondering what happened to you guys? Well, I have the S24 Ultra on pre-order, delivery date 02/02/24. Excited to upgrade from my S20 Ultra. Sad about no memory expansion, however, I'm using about 209 GBs out of my 384 GBs after 4 years. I think I should be ok with 512 GBs over the next 3-5 years. I wanted 1 TB of storage, but it's not available for pre-order in my region, just 256 and 512. Now, from what I understand, this is not a big leap from Samsung S23 Ultra in performance in features (A.I coming to the S23). Coming from a Note, S10-21, the upgrade will be noticeable.

  • Having used phones with glass and aluminum backs, I far prefer polymer backs for devices. They offer superior grip without a case and are not as prone to sliding out of one's hand or pocket at inopportune times without adding the bulk and weight of a textured case.

  • I for the first time had the Ultra in my hand here in Barcelona. It is absolutely huge. Way to big to easy put in a pocket, especially in summer. The sharp edges are not nice either. Even the iphone 15 ProMax is easier to carry and handle in use. The screen also has an annoying blue tinge if not viewed straight on. I like the Google AI but others will get this too

  • 21:26 While it might be the best Android phone you've tested for video, arguably the Sony Xperia 1 V and 5 V are better actual video cameras, not least of which because they shoot at actual frame rate and of a high bitrate akin to their mirrorless cameras. I'm not sure they do 10-bit LOG, but S-LOG 2 abd S-Cinetone is also on them. Oh, and the built-in video monitoring app. Those are truly meant for camera enthusiasts, these aren't as much as they claim to.
