Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review after 3 months: The S24 Ultra is the best phoen so far of 2024 and I think it's the best alternative to the iPhone, especially the iPhonet 15 Pro Max.

I flip Flop between iPhone and Android they both are great it’s up to your taste
Unless you see how the Google Pixel 8 Pro was performing on social media (Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok) in compare to Samsung Galaxy S24-series and iPhone 15-series...
Man, me too. I love the S24U but everything else in the Android world is shit compared to Apple.
Great content. I will never switch to an iPhone. I'd rather use two cans and a string. I'll keep my s23 ultra. You forgot one thing, that's Dex. There is no need for a computer or tablet. Just a monitor. And if you have a smart TV, you can use dex on that, wire, or wireless.
Yes and smart view , I use it to play mario 3d world from my s23 ultra to my Samsung TV and use the phone w backbone controller wireless
Yes , I hame tried other phones and I'm past I have been a Samsung person. Recently I left to try other phones but I came back. Everything you said about this phone is 100 percent true. I love this phone and this the extended support. I plan on keeping this for a long time.
Then you for your review.
S24 ultra owner here ... Any suggestions on receiving videos and pictures from iPhones ? Videos are super small
Agreed ! Great phone
My niece and nephews are always drawing on my phone! It's a great way to keep them entertained for a bit without having to unlock my phone for them or having a big crayon/marker mess. And I love it for games like Royal Match. I'll say it again literally the only thing I miss from Samsung S22 Ultra is the burgundy color especially since I'm finding the 24 a little too muted and thinking about getting a colored case instead of my clear one.
So instead of teaching them how to use paper and color you're giving them a phone so they "don't make a mess".. sounds lazy to me
@@dyllangames3592 they learned that a long time ago before I ever got the 22 ultra or this phone rhe 24 ultra. Also we live in different cities so it's not all the time.
Have to agree. I got it at launch and despite having access to several models, it has been my main. I use a 15 ProMax for work and the S24U blows it away.
This was an awesome review 😭🤧❤ Right on point 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you. I even added in pretty footage to look at.
Agree 💯 love mine!
Im so glad i got this phone i upgraded from the s20 ultra and its so much better and glad they choose to use a flat screen
I just ordered the S24 U today, they brought back the free memory upgrade. Got the 512gb for just over $1,000. I’m really excited for it.
@TechOdyssey are the screen grain issues sorted now?
Agreed even as the owner of a s23 ultra that dark non reflective glass is phenomenal. Adam could you import and review the vivo x fold 3 pro ?
Do you use Samsung s24 ultra to record video
Good morning to you, hope your headache has cleared. I just received the May Security update on my S24U. Any chance you can make a video on what changes Samsung has made. Thank you
You sir are 100% right I love my S24 Ultra no doubt about it I'm not a folding man I'm a candy bar man so let's go S24 Ultra let's make a club The s24s Ultraman😅
How's the battery life on it has it improved with the new updates and how's the screen heard it's more darker then the s23U because of the new armor shield or whatever it's called lmao
I have the exact same device, with the exact same colour (Titanium Violet). The only difference is that I'm using it with Samsung Smart-View Wallet Case (again in Violet colour).
Sticking with my S23 Ultra. May upgrade to the 25 Ultra or wait for 2026. My main right now is the OnePlus 12. Nice content though.
As a pixel user(have P7), I really don't know what to do... wait for the pixel 9 or buy the s24u now
Same boat, wait for pixel 10 since that's when they'll upgrade the chip from horrible tensor. P7 is a decent phone, just overheating and battery issues which can be lived with
Wonderful video!! 🤗 I agree with everything you said ☺️
What is the battery life like. Alex Gear & Tech reckons the battery life is pants and the cameras suck. Can this really be true. I have been on the fence re purchasing one of these not sure weather to wait for the S25 Ultra. What do you think ?
Thank you TechOdyssey!
Definitely a stellar device, I fricken love it. I also preordered the oneplus 12 and I have to say at least for me it is a very, very close second
Updates have come a long way in the last year or so. I know it was ridiculous when I had my Note 20. So much so that I ended up downloading the firmware and the update utility and manually updating my phone.

I agree with u. Watching this on my Samsung A34 phone. I love Samsung
I had the S22 Ultra for the past 12 months and was so tempted to jump ship and got for the iPhone 15 pro max until i saw the S24 Ultra with it's Snapdragon 8 gen 3 and my mind was made up instantly Due to my brother getting the new phone before me. The very next week after pondering getting it, I then got the S24 Ultra for myself & being able to call it mine is an awesome feeling. Ive not even scratched the surface with it's features. I'm still bitter when it comes down to the missing micro SD card feature, but i'm sure i will get over it.
Looks good and knows it is the top of the line, but i dont need an S-pen, and the extra cost so i went down and bought the 24 plus. Love the phone and its pictures.
Im having trouble picking my next upgrade coming from Flip 4. Tmobile is offering $800 credit towards both S24 ultra and Pixel 8 pro. Is S24 U worth the extra hundreds or is it a good time to give P8P a try? I've owned S21 ultra,S10,S7 edge in the past
I thought the S24 had horrible camera 📷 quality 🤔 😕 😐 battery is A$$ i heard too. Been skeptical about buying an s24. I'm rocking my s22+ Rite Now
I’m generally an iPhone user but I have an S24 I’m using right now too. I would say the camera is solid, probably sharper looking photos than my 13pro max takes but that’s a 2+ year old phone so it’s not really a fair comparison. I will say though the battery kind of sucks on the S24, I think my 13 pro max drains at a slower rate with the same usage. Of course you can charge phones pretty quickly now but it’s still a pain in the ass.
@@mattmatt7998 I've heard the opposite. S24+ is getting up to two days of battery life. It's a standout feature.
@HustleHabit If I leave it off or do very little with it, it might last two days. If I'm using it the battery drains pretty quickly.
@@CygnusRoc you are literally the only person I've ever heard say that. Are you living in the USA? Snapdragon 8 v3 is known for good battery life
@@CygnusRoc
If your battery is draining quick from regular use, then you might have gotten a lemon.
It happens. The battery life should be getting you, at a minimum, through the day with juice to spare.
Check the battery usage to make sure no apps are taking more power than they should.
Look and see under "Device Care" and check which apps are consuming the most power. Also make sure to check which apps are doing "wake locks" as this can eat through battery if too many apps are performing wake locks in the background.
I don't even know why this is a thing because no app that you're not actively using should be wake locking your phone.
I recently discovered this as I have the Starfield Collector's edition Chronomark with the companion app and it wake locks my Note 20 Ultra for hours at a time in the background.
I should probably uninstall the app because I haven't worn it in a while since I like it more as a collector's piece than a daily watch to wear.
In fact, I just checked. It shows the app has wake locked for 4 hrs 25 min, and total use and "background" was 10 hrs and 21 min.
No wonder my battery life seems to be going down so quick. No other app shows being active for this long. I should uninstall before any more wear and tear goes on the battery because I've had it installed since September last year for the game's release.
Cool watch and app, but my phone's battery needs to be saved. Lol
This phone with Dex paired with XReal Air 2 is a match made in Heaven. If you haven't tried it yet, it's a game changer.
My only wish, please round off the corners! The S22 Ultra has felt the best in the hand so far, really hoping that they round it off a bit more but not mirror the iPhone.
Are your eyes okay? I ask because I noticed a possibly unusual blinking pattern.
I have an S24 Ultra and I am very happy about it and its performance
have you seen the new xperia leaks? hope it also gets gorilla glass armor
Over the last several years i've flipped flopped between the Pixel 5, S22 Ultra, Pixel 7 Pro, S23 Ultra, Pixel 8 Pro, and now finally the s24 Ultra. I wanted to love the Pixel, but the constant warmness of the phones (except Pixel 5) we nothing short of a pain. S24 Ultra is amazing, and the immediate responses from Google Assistant is outstanding. I'm not flip flopping again and don't see a reason to upgrade for a several years, as opposed to be changing "just because." I will say, speed notwithstanding, the Pixel 5 was the perfect phone. Would LOVE to see a S-series Ultra in that size.
What are your thoughts when comparing to the last year's model? 🙂
Both are excellent. No need to upgrade the S23 Ultra
@@TechOdyssey that's the impression I got. The 8 Gen 2 is more than good enough 🙂
S23 Ultra was way way better! Much more reliable! and way better camera!
@TechOdyssey I got a question: which phone is your daily driver? Android or iPhone? Most tech-youtuber presenting and praising android phones and then using an iPhone as their daily driver! That’s a bit annoying! So I’m curious to know what your main phone is! (And sorry if my English is bad, I’m from Germany)
I have the s24+ and OnePlus 12 two of the best android phones in my opinion
Both are fantastic phones.
Can the S24 Ultra be considered better than other competitors like the Honor 6 Pro and the Vivo X100 Pro and the Find x7 ultra? ...
The S24 Ultra is one of the best phones of 2024. However, the photo quality did not live up to my expectations. Samsung needs to give us better hardware and rely less on AI for photo processing.
Totally Agree!
Have you ever do a phone review on Huawei phones?
I’m coming to the Samsung side in August I’m so ready
Indeed, it may be the best but, at that price tag Samsung can keep it. Hypothetically, if I were interested in purchasing a new Samsung device I would buy the s24 plus. If you don't need an s pen or a gimmicky titanium frame it's a much better option.
Or better zoom camera and bigger screen and battery
If they didn't remove Wifi 7 from the Plus. It would be better in literally every way
@@devilkazumi578 Still, who really cares? Those features are amazing but, it's not worth paying $1,300-$1,600 to get them. Frankly, I'm at an age and place in my career that I can afford whatever phone that I want. Yet, I will not pay that. Truthfully, the s24 ultra is for people with more money than IQ points.
@@segunthepikachufan1470 actually, it is not supported on the versions that have the exynos processor. However, the versions that offer the Snapdragon 8 generation 3 are another story.
@@dr.fitprofessor1970cuz I wanted WiFi 7 but not a Note device and the one thing the Ultra lacks is 16 gigs of RAM
I have it, but can't seem to get away from my OnePlus Open
The OnePlus open is an excellent phone
Upgraded my s23 ultra to the s24 ultra and it feels better, flat screen and more power makes sense. Cannot wait to properly get my hands into it
Love mine... Absolutely amazing... ❤
Do you have grainy screen issue with your s24 ultra please ?
@@manelbireche1684 well in extreme low brightness only in gray portions... Otherwise the display is pretty good...
As an android user that just got an iPhone 14 Pro Max from someone ,I don’t think that I will ever go back to android again till I use a top android phone before I decide ,the smooothness and fluidity of iOS is just top notch ,I just love how it feels when scrolling and browsing ,I still have one plus 8t as my secondary phone but if I.m to choose between Samsung s24 ultra and iPhone 15pro max even though I prefer android gestures navigation to iOS navigation ,
I wouldn't have an Apple phone for free now. I have the s24 ultra and my partner has the iphone 15 pro max and it's so laggy compared to my s24 ultra. Apple miles behind and I used to love them.
Samsung software support has come a long way, but if it's so great, why am I still waiting for OneUI 6.1 on my Z Fold 4?
So how do I switch to a Samsung when I use a 15 Pro Max, Apple Watch Ultra, an Ipad for work, and a Macbook? I'm loving that s24 Ultra. I only use air drop occasionally. Any suggestions would be great.
S24U, galaxy watch 6 or 5 pro, and the tab s9 or s9 ultra. Or can even do the s9 FE. Keep the MacBook imo. The galaxy books are good, but not MacBook level unless you have an old one.
I really appreciate your analysis and genuine knowledge in your videos! This channel is a good go-to source for tech information!
I appreciate that! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching
@@TechOdysseyis the screen grain issue sort now?
Did you find this purple 🟣 color more nicer than titanium gray? Honestly, my heart also tends to lean towards this color variant. It is more beautiful than titanium color. Isn't it?
It's a great android phone, no doubt but I think I like my OPPO Find X7U better.
I had a Samsung Fold4, and it didn't last 3 year's my phone screen just went blank 😳 on the opening and the closing. Now I am HAPPY, owner of an S24 ULTRA. I'm still researching what all it does, but so far, I am extremely happy 😊 with my Titanium Yellow-Gold candy bar 🍫 😂😂😂❤ 📱
Samsung must be rewarded for having such a full featured phone. 📱 I feel like my iPhone 15 Pro Max is like a child’s phone. I’m so painfully bored 🥱 with Apple no multitask and Siri sucks Samsung is the KING 👑
Wow, you truly do just follow around these videos and regurgitate the same old comment over and over and over don't you?!?!?!
It's a great phone, but it has one hugely annoying 'feature', and that is Samsung's dogged insistence on not enabling Snapdragon Sound from the latest Qualcomm chipset that powers the Ultra worldwide. Apt-x adaptive and lossless are not available and that means many Bluetooth headphones and true wireless earbuds do not work at their best with this phone. Equipment from brands like Sennheiser, Focal, Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, Bose, Dali and others have high end offerings in the Bluetooth market that do not use LDAC, but instead use Aptx-Adaptive. Sort it out, Samsung.
but you havent try the Xiaomi 14 ultra yet? ;)
Having this issue with mine ... when I wake up I can't make calls or texts unless I switch on and off airplane mode then it works fine. All settings have been checked and rechecked by Xfinity and Samsung tech support ... no answers, My iPhone 15 plus works fine, no issues. SO annoying. Many complaints about this issue on Reddit , no answers.
Mine had to be sent back to Samsung for repair. Try to ask samsung for authorizion to take your phone to ibreakufix. I had two boards fry on my S24 Ultra.
Got s24 ultra great phone
Do you have grainy screen issue with your s24 ultra ?
@@manelbireche1684 no I don't
@@manelbireche1684 no
If this series of phones had a micro sd card it would be perfection
The only problem it's that's expensive but it's justifiable
Watching on s22 ultra 💪
This phone is definitely worth buying love this phone and not looking back
i am about to buy a s24 ultra but worried about the display issues
Is it worth the upgrade from the Samsung galaxy S23? Thanks
Wait till S27 when you no longer get updates. You'll see more of a difference
Last year, I bought the S23 Ultra and sold it because I couldn't get used to its sharp corners. This year, I decided to try the S24 Ultra, but I still can't get used to the sharp corners. So, right now, I only use it at home to watch UA-cam, Netflix, and search the web. It's basically my mini tablet. I wish Samsung would round the corners for the next S25 Ultra. Meanwhile, my S24 is my primary phone. I will use my S24 Ultra more for vacations and to watch things while I'm eating or cooking.
I have both s23 ultra yes but s24 ultra no I don't know what you're talking about
One thing...put phone in a case or Folio case...I did...keeps it great and ain't no sharp edges...my 23U is still great
You could have bought the S24 plus instead. It has round edges and the screen is also 1440p.
@DrMoorehen I bought the Caseology Athlex case, and it feels much better.
@nikkosr888 I could have, but I purchased the S24 Ultra, intending to use it more on vacations, at home, and on special occasions to take pictures. It was going to be my secondary phone anyway, but I must say, rounder corners would be more comfortable.
Samsung needs the one inch type sensor. My oppo x7 ultra destroys my ultra especially in portraits
It cost me $2399 Australian dollars for a 512GB.. $1299 sounds cheap when you mention it.😅
Terrific device... Still haven't fixed the Always On Display issues. Some probably won't care... BUT I use it on every phone I've had whenever possible. Shame.
I bought the samsung 24 ultra and I already had the I pad mini and the Mac book and my I phone mini but can't integrate the samsung into the apple eco system ,,, notes, photos, presentations on keynotes and pages...... I'm so frustrated. is there a way I can go about having it on my samsung through apple ???
I didn't invest in the Apple ecosystem. I use the S24 and Tab S9. So much better than iOS and far more customizable. I also use the iPad Mini 6 and have had problems with overheating in hot/humid conditi/ons and am frustrated by the poor keyboard and general usability. Great form factor and performance though.-
Love the screen
Love the brightness
Love the performance
Love the cameras
Love the battery life!
This is the best phone that I have owned. Samsung for life!!
The best phone in the history of phones !
Serious question here, what about all the tons of people in the Reddit community and Samsung forums who are talking about the bad camera quality on this device? There HAS to be something to this!? Not ALL these people are just making up stories.
My S23 Ultra had a much better camera! Look up wifi issues on the S24 Ultra before you buy.
S23 ultra is good enough. They need to stop making phones every year
I agree with you.....but I think they do it not to upgrade every year but for those who haven't upgraded in a while....so it's really a choice if you WANT to upgrade every year. Otherwise you can stick with what you have for 3, 4, 5 years.....I went from the S22U to the S24U but will keep this for 4-5 years....
@markcossman200 the reason they make them every year is to milk as much money as they can out of people. They don't care if you have the latest technology. They want the revenue
But, the s24U is better and that I'd an inescapable fact.
Its not that much better maybe 5 procent noticable difrence
@Just.WaTch1ng for the AI features, battery life and 7 years of support & updates
Nice video
I wish Samsung had a true competitor to the Apple Watch Ultra besides that Samsung has the most features and they don’t treat you like a child they give you the most features in a phone and that is so important ⚡️🤙❤️
They don't allow you to unlock the bootloader so yea unfortunately they do still treat you like a child just not as much as Apple does
Only thing I don’t like is the weight. Too heavy for me. I still have it as my backup phone
Sony Xperia 1 VI is coming and going to trump all other Android and Apple phones out of the park
I escaped Apple ten years ago. Best decision ever.
How is an iPhone killer when the social media apps don’t work that well as compared to the iPhone?
I have s24 ultra. I think the oneplus UI is better. But I'm just coming from 1 + 10 pro. I had it for the past two years
I love this phone I had the s22 ultra but just wish the speakers 🔊 sound better
Very nice. Glad you're enjoying it.
Best Camera between Iphone 15 vs S24?
Great phone but sub par cameras sadly. Certainly not an iPhone killer though. Samsung still struggle to sell it. iPhone remains gold standard in tech sadly for purchases
Totally Agree! I liked my S23 Ultra better.I think I upgraded when I bought a iphone 15 pro max. I just dont like the S24 Ultra and with all the wifi issues on Reddit... This is the phone model to skip.
Iphone 15pm is simply better at all things, the s24 series is most definitely NOT an iPhone killer, in fact no android is.
Love my S24 ultra the phone is a beast. Goodbye pixel and the haters gonna hate!!
Even better than the 24 plus? In your opinion.?
I'd say so
Yes
OK, OK I do agree The s24 ultra is one heck of a phone but we must address the elephant in the room. The sound on the phone is trash when you are using the speakerphone it doesn’t sound like $1000 phone should sound in my opinion, and yes, I’ve tampered with all the settings and the adaptive sound and the yada yada yada but if you ever notice listening to Apple Music or Samsung music, you have to turn it all the way up to Feel Something and even then it doesn’t sound good
Overheating problems?
💪💪💪💪💪💪
I have older android and playing games ( fortnite ) I'm running 120 fps ( if you buy Gforce )
Mad respect for the S24 series but I couldn't deal with the shutter lag and lack of fluidity on One UI.
Settled on the OP12 despite losing Dex & couldnt be happier, especially with the charging speeds and fluidity.
The OP12 is an excellent phone.
Please highlight the issue that oneui 6.1 has major issue in the notification center. It doesn't group notifications per app.
Is this a Samsung ad? Im not encouraging you to buy one, but here’s the link. 😂
I tried ,here I am back using the 15pm
Whys that?
@@TechOdyssey the reason literally came down to handling of the two phones . I prefer the rounded corners of the iPhone . I constantly using a phone all day to take pictures of completed jobs . The cameras are quicker within the app I use for work than android (CompanyCam) . Media consumption hands down s24 ultra . Still use it at home but at work it’s the iPhone for me (15pm) for pictures and video and app usage
iPhone’s curved display to me is just so Unnatural , I had my iPhone 15 pro for one day could not get used to watching UA-cam , next stop s24 ultra
The iPhone doesn't have a curved display
@@TechOdyssey we must be talking about two different phones , because my phone definitely had curved edges
Civic>vette
lol
I have s24U and this is the best phone for shure, but my wife had huawei p60 pro so when its come to indor picture whit lower light s24u is a big trash! 😢
The best... Until Z Fold 6
S series is Samsung most Ultra phone over fold.. Fold 6 Ultra is not global marketing
Not necessarily.
I wish someone would give me a good price for my iPhone 📱 so I can come to the Samsung SIDE 🤙🙏🏻⚡️❤️
Low heat? Massive heat s23 ultra is cooler
I've experienced zero heat issues
