  • Reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra after some long-term personal testing, including camera improvements, AI shenanigans and gaming performance. There's lots to love with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, from the battery life and Genshin Impact skills to that improved camera zoom. But is it the best 2024 smartphone vs Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Nubia Z60 Ultra etc?
    This near 7-inch titan is certainly one of the biggest phones around, boasting a crisp QHD AMOLED screen and beefy stereo speakers. Gamers will enjoy the smooth performance on intensive titles like Genshin, while Samsung's S Pen is once again stashed inside the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
    Upgrades vs the S23 Ultra and S24 Plus include that Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 brain (a definite boost in the UK), as well as the powerful camera setup. The Samsung S24 Ultra boasts an excellent zoom arrangement, especially when shooting portrait pics or video with family or pets. However, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra still beats this Galaxy smartphone for contrast shots and pro video tools.
    If you've been using the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra as your full-time smartphone, let us know your own long term review down in the comments below!

    The Universal response to all phones:
    1. Craving, waiting and lusting.
    2. First date.
    3. Love at first sight.
    4. Boredom sets in.
    5. Eyes roves to other younger phones.
    6. Amicable separation.

    I upgraded my Exynos S22 Ultra to the S24 Ultra and I'm loving it so far. The most noticeable difference is the battery life, such a game changer for me! However, one issues that still persists from the previous phone is that a lot of the times the notifications come in late, specifically when I unlock my phone. All of a sudden, all notifications just start coming in. I've seen that a lot of people have had this issue for years with Samsung phones, and some are saying that this is a typical issue with Android phones in general. Mr. Spurt, have you noticed such problems with delayed notifications?

      You can toggle the apps you want to receive notifications from to not be affected by this battery saving behaviour, just hold an app icon, go to information about the app, go to battery and select unlimited. Now this app should be able to work in the background even if the phone is locked/in deep sleep, so that you get all your notifications.

    I have used the Galaxy Note 10 Lite for four years and had the Galaxy Note 4 for a few years before that, and the S-pen is absolutely essential for me. So, I just ordered the S24 Ultra, but I don't have giant hands and really wish I could get a slightly smaller model with the S-pen. I tried it out in a shop and almost changed my mind about buying it because it's considerably less comfortable to hold than the Note 10 Lite. I hope I'll get used to it.

    I put it in case so sharp corners don't bother me. I put a glass screen protector on, so I miss out on the glare free screen. I take handwritten notes every day and wish I had other flagship options with an SPen. I'm a 2 handed user and find the size in a slim phone case is perfect for pocket storage and usability. I wasn't going to upgrade from my s23 ultra, but got drawn in by the 7 year updates and the flat screen. The only thing that will cause me to upgrade for a few years is if they come out with a user swappable battery model with an irblaster.

      Don’t do it, you’ll regret it… I’ve switched twice now in my life, from iPhone to Android (samsung) and was initially impressed with some of the customization features and options but those get old real fast and after a week or two you don’t even bother with them anymore. The experience, while much better on the s24U compared to previous years Android experience, pales in comparison to just how smooth and seamless the iPhone is… it’s just more refined in every way and you’ll see that pretty quick if you decide to switch.
      If you do decide to switch I’d recommend NOT getting rid of your iPhone just yet as you’ll definitely be back to it within a few months if not weeks…. Android just isn’t there yet and they try to make up for that with gimmicky features … simple minds are easily entertained with these …. for awhile….

      Thinking of doing the same. The aspect ratios on the Fold5 are just annoying - and this is coming from someone thats been exclusively rocking Folds since the Fold2 release. The actual screen space taken up by apps/games/movies when at the right aspect ratio ends up being essentially the same as just having the Ultra. Multi-tasking is nice but not used enough to be missed.

      Sensor is good. If you plan on using a screen protector get the Torras screen protector. A bit pricey (25 USD) but it comes with an installation kit and the sensor acts as if there's no screen protector applied at all.

      It works quite well for me and much better than my old Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus. It also works with a cheaper screen protector, but I am now using it without one to avoid losing the anti-reflection feature. However, to avoid the risk of cracking the display, I am using a very protective case.

    I find the samsung keyboard perfectly good.
    I still rock the entry level 2019 Samsung Note 10+ with its 256gb and 12gb ram which works faster now than when i boughtbit due to updates etc. Camera is still great though wont be to todays level of detail obviously, but still capable of great pics. Battery life stll very good.
    Plus i have an ssd card slot for my 1gb movie and tv collection.
    Without an sd card slot i feel 512gb is minimum required esp if theres a goos 50mb or 100mb camera as those files willbe crazy large, and we use our phones for SO much more nowadays than 5 yrs ago.
    My brother in law just upgrade his note 10+ to the 24u and loves it so im sure it great.
    I realise the game has moved on so Im looking toward the Fold 5 or upcoming 6, or Oneplus open instead.

    Got it at launch as an upgrade from the S23 Ultra. Very happy with it so far. Battery has improved, it is snappier and the flat screen (plus anti-reflection) is great. Also, I prefer the camera and think it is more versatile. The only downside is long zoom as that seemed slightly better on the S23 Ultra. I rarely use that anyway so not a big loss. Overall very happy, although the AI features currently seem a bit gimmicky. Hopefully they will grow on me as time goes on...
