I recently switched back to Android by way of the S24 Ultra after ~12 years with the iPhone. It's been a fun experience so far. My last Android phone was the Note 2. Thanks for the review!
Yep I switched over to the s24 ultra from iPhone (which was the only type of phone I've ever had) and I don't think I'll ever go back. This truly is an amazing phone!
The anti-reflective display is one of the best features that Samsung didn't say a word about you interact with the screen everyday all day long it's a huge improvement
Finally someone who has a good understanding of displays. I been waiting for ages for manufacturers to improve the AR coating on their phones. Thanks for taking an in depth look at this important but often overlooked aspect of display quality!
I had my iphonexr for 5 years,and I just switched to Samsung s24 ultra this past few days.And im so glad I did.I bought mine in hk with lots of freebies.The battery is insane.I still have 31% and it has been 24hrs and 3 hrs since the last I charged.Amazing
@svenjo8098 Once you start using video at 8k or even 4k you will burn through 256 in no time at all, not to mention games, pics, movies, music, etc. Anything less than 1tb is a joke. But keep on kissing the boot of the corporations , they appreciate your money 💰
@@udaysingh9_11 Nah. Guys like you just try too hard to be different. I switched to an iPhone 13 Pro Max from a S20 Ultra and it's like night and day. I'm never going back. There's a reason why people who can afford it buy an iPhone.
I paused the video literally just to express how BRILLIANT you are actually. I have seen endless of reviews in different languages and styles and I would like to say that this review is the best! The video is simple and eye relaxing and your voice is just calm and clear. I completely happy that I managed to find this video by coincidence and definitely I will be buying the phone. Greetings from 🇪🇬
I wish more phones came with a stylus and hope more phones continue to do so! Not just the pricey phones. I always want my backup phone to have a stylus for signing documents etc. Because I’m always needing to do so dealing with physical / mental health issues and not being able to get out much if at all. I hope I can catch the stylus phones on a sale the next time I need a backup or main phone ❤ great review !
I've been watching your videos for a while and only now realized how UNDERRATED you are. Your videos are crazy high quality, please continue to do your thing♡
I tend to use the generative AI photo edit tool pretty often and I do feel that it's really good. Also summoning Gemini AI instead of Google assistant is another factor that makes the experience better. It's great to know that android had it first before iPhones
Thanks for the unbiased review. Was stuck between upgrading s24 u from s22 u or keeping the s22 u. There is a promotion of trading in with 40% rebate and a free Watch 6. But the difference is so minimal and even the s22 u is an overkill device for me. I will just wait out 2-3 more years before considering an upgrade
I've had the 22 Ultra, 23 Ultra, and 24 Ultra. Biggest difference in 22 and 24 in your case is the battery mainly and the screen. The battery on my 22 was awful. If you're happy with it's battery, there's definitely no point in upgrading
Hold on to your s22. You may not like s24, since it oversharpens and over saturates your oicture too much. And is automatic, you cant change that. S22 have softer natural looks. Dont change. My friends regretted. But if u prefer fake over sharpen images, then s24 is super perfect
@@brendanfogel4573 You're probably right, but I tend to keep dozens of heavy games that I play during breaks at work and I love taking random photos max quality and record a bunch of videos, too.
Nice, I did the same. What’s incredible is that if I use the Samsung Note 10+ again, I always think, “Oh, it’s also very nice.” The s24 ultra is, of course, better, but you can only see that if you compare them side by side.
Love the more in depth information about stuff, first time watching one of your videos and your first 3-4 minutes made me wanna watch some other videos of yours
I never expect ella to pull such a great review without a need to call it "long-term review". This review is simple yet contains enough detail even for hardcore users and you can deliver it with reasonable duration. Your review feel so real without any bluff yet you can deliver it in a reasonable way that still respect everyone who watch your review. Great job for you! Apart from AI slo-mo and AI features you use daily I felt dissappointed with Galaxy AI. But i guess samsung will improve it sooner or later.
I kept hold of my S23 Ultra and didn’t bother with this upgrade, gonna check out the S25 Ultra in 2025 and see if it offers a complete redesign and worthy upgrades, great video as always Ella, greets from the UK 💜
1:50 nits aren't logarithmic, it's just candelas per square meter. The perception of brightness with your eyes is approximately logarithmic, but luminance in itself isn't.
A correction about the anti-reflective coating on the S24 Ultra: it's not a coating like the oleophobic coating on the display that can be rubbed off and reapplied; it's a property of the glass itself. Samsung recently clarified this as they went into a deeper dive into the technology inside the display. It's not a coating; it's the glass itself that is anti-reflective, so it's a permanent fixture of the display.
Good points there! Congrats. I’m in India and I am torn between the ultra and plus models. What’s your take? Since I don’t use stylus if I am pick the ultra I would do so only for the more efficient SOC. Is that right to do? Or the plus is good enough for 3 year usage. FYI iPhone 13 Pro is my current phone.
I was on Android from 2012 but switched to iPhone 3 years ago. I liked it, but I moved back to Android because of the s24 Ultra from iPhone 14 Pro Max. I regretted it and found a cheap iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I am waiting for the iPhone 16 now.

Love this phone, if I could have one wish for this phone it would be for them to round the corners of the phone off more so that they weren't so sharp. That's really my one and only gripe, those corners are rough on the hand.
My s 24 ultra was in glove department for around three hours .in car. It was hot but not extremely hot. It was previously chilled because of ac .Phone is ok but i am woried about overheating. I will avoid leaving it in car.

How much do you love it??
Does your phone get hot when you try multitasking and specially on video calls theres fps drop ?
Not really
Really nice intro. I never really look at the screens compared next to other phones. Might have to reconsider my S24+ to S24U !!!
I really like how you compared the screens. That anti-reflective coating is really nice! I like the boxy design and flat screen.

When you crop the 50MP and match with iphones 2x 3x upto 5x. The cropped 50MP photo is better.

Out of all AI features the Web Page Summary is the one I use the most often. The second best feature is note summary
