Additional review notes:
It’s been three weeks since Samsung launched their flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra and in the first three weeks, the phone got a lot of hype, being called the best phone on the market by many. But now that it’s been a few weeks and I have been using it everyday since launch, it is time to set the spec sheets aside and talk about what it is really like to use this phone. I found some incredible features that were not mentioned as well as some drawbacks I did not expect. So in this video, I want to delve into the nuances of using this phone and determine whether or not it really is the best phone you can buy right now.
Pro/Con layout
Features I love
Flat display allows me a ton of tempered glass screen protector options for cheap. This one has a privacy screen
The anti reflective coating is unparalleled + 2600 nit display makes it easy to see outside
Downside: The anti reflection on the screen is so good, with a screen protecor, you get some of that glare back. The screen is incredibly strong so you may not even need one.
The privacy is nice though
Positive: I use the s pen all the time and the flat display helps with that
Downside: digitizer can get a little wonky on the outer tenth of an inch. Still a massive improvement
It also triggers the back gesture too much
Positive: Buttons are larger than last year thanks to the flat display
Positive: Even with QHD on, this is nearly a two day battery for me. I am getting 1d21h between charges
I charge this while I work out, when it can’t be in my pocket anyway
I used the Pixel fold before, so this is BIG for me
I highly recommend a magsafe case
Negative: This sounds dumb, but it doesn’t fold, so I need to have a tripod or stand to watch videos, I can’t do side by side multitasking, I can’t use the rear lenses for self videos or photos without guessing the angle
Positive: Ai Features are sweet
AI generated wallpapers
Circle to search - I use this in youtube videos all the time when I want to know what someone is wearing, or what something in the background is but I don’t want tons of screenshots
Ai assistant in calls is superior to Pixel’s ai call screening
Tons of deep features
Positive: Unlike Pixel and many others, squared off corners make media viewing so nice
Positive: Durability is great - titanium edges, stronger glass, and 7 years of updates
Downside: Display gets grainy at ultra low brightness, and it almost looks paper-like. Maybe this is a positive actually
Positive: Quickshare works for any android phone now which is fast and reliable, but sometimes takes a beat to find other phones
CAMERA
Very natural photos, slightly warmer and almost iphone like
Low light in urban environments is A+
Low light, handheld in ultra dark spaces is bad. Samsung tries to make it look like daylight
ProVideo mode 4k120 is so cool, but I don’t really use it much
I also never use the ai slow mo
Ultrawide has red vignette
In low light, avoid ultrawide and 3x when possible
Macro and product shots are phenomenal
Portrait mode captured less detail than I expected but has great cutout
Social media camera test
CONCLUSION:
OneUI has changed a lot over the past two years and I really like it now
This phone is currently my favorite phone on the market

  • Regarding your problem about the navigation gestures on the edge of the display with spen, actually, you can turn off that option. Namely, you can go to navigation bar settings, and under more options, there is a setting to turn off swiping from the edges with the spen to go back. This is super useful since I was struggling with taking notes with the pen close to the edges of the screen.

    • It's always there, but it's more noticeable when looking at a dark color/deep grey. I'm honestly very disappointed, this was supposed to have a top display, and my s22u has a better rendition of colors and no grainy pixels. The creepy thing is that samsung is sweeping everything under the rug, saw their responses in many chats with many people concerned about the issue, but they don't want to aknowledge the problem.

    • I read some posts on reddit and saw that the problem is an “software problem” not hardware. An user took an screenshot and send it to an laptop and an iPhone, and on that devices appeared grainy too…so probably will fix this. I wait to switch from an iPhone 13(non pro) too…so i search for every thing that i can see before i buy this phone…because this iPhone was a totally dissapointment for me unfortunately, and i want a really flagship phone to keep it some years.

  • I think the grainy screen while used in very low brightness settings is due to some of the pixels that turn off in order to achieve such low screen brightness.

  • I had a few drawbacks myself. I feel like the vivid appearance doesn't really pop like the previous devices. It still looks good, but it's kind of hazy looking. And I'd say the AI features are few and far between. They're good when they're working, but not ALL the time. Battery life is still very good. From 9am to about 8 pm I'm left with 20%. Other cool things are the fact it's a little lighter barely noticeable and it's shorter due to the chin being removed. It honestly doesn't need a case because of the frame and how the appearance pops. Overall, I love it!

    • I agree it's hazy looking. I just received mine yesterday and compared to my S22 ultra the s24 just looks like it's a regular but very good LCD screen. The S22 ultra screen is so damn vibrant. I read they sent out a tweet there is a fix coming. Vibrant AMOLED screens is a major thing of what set them apart from the competition . As of Now they probably have the most muted out of all new flagships .

  • I got a Samsung-brand screen protector for the S24 Ultra. It's made of plastic (bendable) and says it's anti-reflective. For screen protection and reflection, I think it's between a naked S24 Ultra and one with a standard glass protector. That's a trade-off I am willing to make. I was afraid that a plastic film would be less clear than glass, but that isn't a problem or it's not noticeable to me.

I do not think its only a symptom of going ultra dim on brightness, as when compared to my s23 ultra its night and day. The grain is, imo, an indication of a defective display unit. My dad's s24 ultra does not have this issue either. I could also see the grain on my s24 ultra even when not ultra dim, like normal brightness levels. That could just be my unit was worse than Mike's, or yours, but it is visible not just when ultra dim.

  • 2:31 you can block navigation gestures for SPen. I use SPen a lot and I've had no problem with curved displays because i don't write like cops do on their ticklers. I always find it easier to write on landscape with note and s series. I feel like those people who keep on complaining about the curved displays when writing with s pen are the youtubers who don't really use s pen on a day to day basis. Your writing will almost always be straight when writing on landscape instead of mimicking a cop. And do normal people really write notes up to the very edge of the notes app? do you write at the very edge of all your notebooks? - from when you were little until now? I don't know if it's just me but I naturally maintain margins on both sides of all my notes, electronic or paper. if you want to really write to the very edge of the notes app, wouldn't it be much easier to just resize the note page instead of trying hard to doodle at the very edge of the phone then complain about the pen falling off??? maybe it's just me but it sounds so unnatural to me.

They also told me to send an error report via the members app so the developers know about it and I think theyre supposed to get back to me. Idk. it really sucks cause this phone is perfect otherwise. And they're not acknowledging it. But I think I'll just have to send my phone back and order a new one and hope the next one is good cause it seems like some (or hopefully most) people don't have the issue. Oh and from everything I've read on it and it's quite a lot, it's a hardware issue and not a software issue.

    • I really like it. I upgraded from an S22 Ultra and didn't expect a significant upgrade. In fact, I anticipated a downgrade in some aspects due to the flat screen instead of the curved one, and the smaller camera sensor. However, I do agree with you that the flat screen is better for screen protectors and the wider buttons. The screen film also makes a notable difference against reflections. I haven't tested my camera yet, so I can't say anything about that, but the new Snapdragon SoC definitely has a lot more power than the old Exynos one from my S22 Ultra. I haven't used the AI that much since not everything is greatly supported in my language, but the new search feature is great.@@MikeOBrienMedia

  • All I can say is that 7 years of support isn't going to help, because no one uses it for the same time period. But mine this as my first premium phone, and I'm not buying another premium phone. It's pretty useful these days, especially with the UI, smooth, and premium. I can't easily switch between other premium phones; I've been using them for 5 or 6 years after their age. I don't think about expensive ones 😅

    • @elavelkumaran4636 if you become a samsung member you can get the best deals when you pre-order, for instance during this pre-order you could've traded your s23U and got 750$ and the are other ways to get more off as well. The point is you could have got the newest just with that trade in alone 20$a month for the phone an s24Ultra 512gb itself a month if unlocked carrier of course is what I always get. 20$ for 36months and you pay %0 interest on it the whole time it's a great deal if you ask me. For mine I got the 24month 0%interest and pay under 20$a month for me to have purchased this phone not bad if you ask me.
