@@techwithbenefitsthat's with every mainstream brand phone out there. You can say the same with the iPhones. The ones blatantly hating them are fanboys of the other brands (mostly Indians).
Without a doubt, the S24U is a beast but, not everyone needs that, myself included. As a NOTE user since the Note 3 all the way up to the Note 10+ the price has just become too extreme and I myself just don't need all that a lesser 'S' flagship series phone will accomplish at a MUCH lesser price as I rarely ever used the S-Pen and really have no need for it. The 1Tb storage option has just insane price point and would NEVER consider this as I'll never utilize it to begin with! I offload stuff CONSTANTLY using my NAS or a fast USB thumb drive you can get really CHEAP on Amazon or other sources vs. the 1Tb option or even the 512Gb option. There are COUNTLESS reviews that say the S24U is THE best phone Android out there but, not everyone needs all that.
I don't envy it. As an S23U user, I love the stability of OneUI, the fluidity of my phone, how it takes solid photos and videos, and how handy the SPen is sometimes, BUT I don't think I'm getting a Samsung Galaxy Ultra phone after my S23U dies. It's too unwieldy, the Spen I can live without if it means they increase the battery capacity, and that shutter lag is so annoying because I take photos and videos of my pets a lot. Its lowlight performance is really good but if the subject moves in lowlight, then it's a blurry mess. And no Gcamming it is not the ultimate solution because there are also a lot of limitations using Gcam vs the stock camera app. OneUI while highly customizable and stable, feels very stuttery and slow a lot of the time. It feels like it's a polished OS, but a mobile OS from 2018. Samsung still refuses to implement non-linear transitions/animations and they only started to roll out A/B updates in 2024. The AI features I've tried on several phones from other brands and they work just as well. I've decided on getting the latest Vivo X Ultra phone when I upgrade in 2-3 years because I believe it'll serve me better and it will have none of the issues I've had that Samsung refuses to fix for years now, and for half the price. I'm lucky none of the cons of getting a Chinese model affect me at all (don't use Android Auto, Vivo's version of QuickShare works just as well, Vivo phones have basic Google framework and services built-in, and Chinese bands actually cover ALL the bands the Philippines uses and even more bands compared to the local models here). Despite all this, I still think Samsung's Ultra phone is the best Android for most people (assuming everyone has $1400 to spare 😬). I love the Samsung ecosystem though and who knows, if they fix enough of these issues, I'm fine with giving them another shot.
Those who "hate" the s24 ultra are those that expect the phone to do "everything" but are willing to learn "nothing" about how to achieve it. This phone is not for you if you're not willing to change habits to incorporate AI, s-pen, advanced camera modes, use the editing tools to improve/crop/resize/style the pictures, or learn about many other advanced features this phone offers.
I completely agree 💯!! I don't even have the s24 ultra and I love it for everything it has and for everything it does. I love the screen and how even the brightest of days can't stop you from seeing what's on your screen. The capabilities are endless ❤
Yeah try achieving fast charging using A.i Oh you can't Try fixing the sharp edges of the phone using advanced crop BS Oh you can't Try fixing the terrible ergonomy of the phone using S-pen Oh you can't Try lowering the FPS drops during long gaming sessions U can't
It's a beast for sure! BUT, not everyone needs all that an S24+ or even an S24 will satisfy MOST people at a MUCH lesser price-point! Being a Note user since the Note 3 I have NO use for the S-Pen and will NEVER PAY these prices ever again that an S24+ or S24 will offer. Even the S24FE being no SLOUCH as proven in countless videos is a much cheaper option over the Ultra model at $1399 BASE price with 256Gb of storage!
Hi I'm a former iPhone user who switched to S24 Ultra and its just been an awesome experience. I never really have to worry about battery as it does get you through the day easily, at least for me. What id love to see is 3rd party apps like instagram be better optimised and others instead of prioritising apple!
The camera is a huge upgrade. Noticeable only to those who've had an S series phone. Typical samsung over sharpening has been drastically reduced. Agressive noise reduction has given way to some digital noise letting come through which makes details come through without the need for oversharpening.
Honestly Samsung came a long way with their cameras this year! I previously own the s22U and s23U but had to go back to the pixels due to their cameras, but this year I'm pleased with the camera performance, but as he said, I personally don't use the 10x zoom since it tends to over process the images
I love it! it has everything you need. it's not just a phone with a great camera, it's the whole experience. dex, spen, camera, anti reflective coating, 4k120 etc. so much more!!
That's exactly what I thought. Personally I never had a Samsung phone. Had several different brands and I'm now on my third OnePlus, but I've got nothing against Samsung. I think it's great what they do with folding phones and stuff like that. I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of owning a Samsung phone in the future. But I will never own an iPhone because I hate the arrogance of Apple and personally I think they are shitty and unnecessarily complicated and restricted devices.
People expect that mobile phones will be 10 times better every year when they come out, it's impossible, the vast majority of people don't change their mobile phones every year because it doesn't make sense. Change it every two or three years, and you'll see the difference!
I would have said its the opposite, it tempted a lot of people to switch from the same iPhone every year to something newer, and still holds its own to the latest new phones.
I'm still using the s23, been hesitant to get the s24 because it's so good. The last time I had a phone this good was the LG G2 in 2013. LG couldn't back it up with the g3 and it just got worse and worse until I finally swapped to samsung. Both the g2 and the s23 had incredible battery life's.
Those who hates S24 Ultra are xiomi, oppoplus, and vivo fans who says S24 Ultra is nothing new when it actually has anti-reflexting display, AI and the first phone that scratches at level 7. But ironically, they are praising xiomi 15, oppoplus 13, and vivo x200 which are the exact same things as the last models.
how much screen on time you get from 100 percent? if you done know exactly then around how much hours... because I just bought samsung s 24 ultra and it gives just 6 hours screen on time .... IDK why,😢
My biggest gripe is the protrusion of the cameras - when phone is on flats it rocks and finding the sweetspot for wireless charging is not as easy as earlier models...
Just upgraded from the S20 Ultra and will take my time learning about the 24's uses because there is so much. I am not sure if i should have waited for the s25 ultra but i was getting a 25% discount on the 512gb version. I am now hoping that the difference between the 24 and 25 will not be huge although i have heard about the advances of the new chip. Anyway coming from the S20 Ultra i am really appreciating the jump up and so far i love the S24U, especially the S pen Great video Bye the way i love the boxy design and the sharp corners 😊
The Ultra price doesn't come with an ultra camera. I like rather the Honor magic 6 pro. So if s25 ultra camera will adapt the S24u camera, goodbye samsung.
99% of people put expensive phones in a case so there's that. As far as design, how many things can they do with a flat rectangle 😮 😂 And lastly my s10 has more features than an S25 Ultra so how many more ways can they screw there customers 😢
Things I'd like to be improved: More comfortable to hold, thinner and lighter with rounded corners. NFC placement at the top of the phone Less colour shift between lenses and faster shutter speed.
Excellent video on this great phone. Is it Christmas already down under? (tree/decorations in living room).... or do you put decorations up really early?
I still use my Samsung Note 5 and Note 8, those have stylus built-in too! Nothing new, glad Samsung brought it back. I used the stylus less than I thought I would but still a great feature when you need it.
When you are the best or have something that is the best, people will hate you because they are jealous. That is just human nature. Of course, famous tech guys aid a lot in that hate because they will always prefer Apple more because of Apple popularity, and that gives them more money.
@Penguino19 you may not have the same algorithm I do, because whilst the S23 Ultra was universally praised, the S24 Ultra gets panned for everything I outlined in the video, plus also compared to other Ultra phones from other manufacturers and then gets hated on afterwards. Did you watch the whole video?
@@techwithbenefits I did watch the whole video and im NOT criticizing it since it's very informative, im just criticizing the title because it can lead to misinformation right off the bet, that's all I've said
I’ve been hearing a lot about the S24 series, but I’m seeing a lot of people complaint about the screen showing green and pink lines. Is this a widespread issue?"
It is important to note that the statement "everyone hates S24" is subjective and not a fact. In my experience, the S24 Ultra has been well-received and has received positive feedback from users. I use the 24 Ultra for my daily and love it.
I think 'The Hate' is because the S23 Ultra was so good in so many ways. It was, and still is, such a popular device; but because of this a lot of people wanted to dislike the S24 Ultra even before it hit the shelves. By logical evolution though, the S24 Ultra is a superior device in almost every way, outside of, arguably, camera performance. Here, the S24 Ultra still does not feel finished off software-wise, and so many users are still praying for this miracle Big Promised Software Update to correct the cameras issues. The camera system on the S23U feels well rounded and well finished off in comparison. At the end of the day though, S24 Ultra owners know what a great device they have. They need to ignore the haters, as so many of these have not even so much as touched an S24U.
I just got this device, because I had to replace my Pixel 7 Pro in a pinch. Seems like a good phone so far. Just some things I have to get used to, such as flipped buttons for Back and App switcher. It's practically the same size as P7 Pro. Haven't tested the cameras much yet, but they seem pretty good.
I love mine , but should it need to be that bright for face unlock to work? And phantom touches are non existent, but so is screen touch sensitivity near the edge, I really shouldn't have to punch the screen that hard for it to register. I'de rather they would do away with the 'do everything' software, and just have what most people actually use and have it work properly. Have a suite of apps for all the other tosh that you can download as when and if you need it, by all means. But until then my 3 year old Mi11 ultra is still streets ahead for my use case.
Weight is my main gripe. It is heavy on its own, but slap a mag safe case on it, and it wants pull my shorts down. This can also be painful for men depending on the shorts and activity. That pocket can let the phone swing around and pop you in a sensitive place. I still love the square corners which sets it apart from most anything on the market. The one wish I'll never get is a curved back. I can deal with rocking because the majority of the time my phone isn't flat (how uncomfortable to look straight down on the table for extended periods of time). Also, the amount of time I hold the phone, the middle of the palm of my hand, will ache or cramp. For the younger crowd that's never known what it's like to have a curved back phone, you don't know what you're missing. More comfortable, easier to hold, and much better grip. I have an acient Motorola Droid Turbo. I picked it up the other day and was shocked at how good it felt in hand. I get it, new phones look sleek and awesome, but as far as ergonomics, they are completely form over function. Why else would they think glass on the back of the phone would be a great idea? The back of the phone has 2 functions - look pretty and break. Lastly, does anyone remember user replaceable batteries? You know, the phones where you could replace the battery if it started to degrade, or better yet, quickly replace when one battery ran down, you pop in a freshly charged one. That is still faster than any "quick charge" phone on the market.
Your title should have read "WHY does everyone LOVE the S24 Ultra?" Regarding the rounded sides and squared corners. I prefer them to the direction the S25 is headed. The rounded sides are more comfortable and the squared corners help prevent it from slipping out of your hand so easily. Having said that though, I always have my phone in a case for protection.
If we consider a telephone to be any device capable of transmitting voice over a long distance, the history of the telephone is much older. The first telephones were purely mechanical devices. Telephone (Greek: tele = distant and phoné = voice)
I understand what a ultrawide camera is, but when I use it to photograph groups of people, the distortion it gives to the heads that are in the left or right is extremely ugly, no matter how much I try to chose the right angle to take it. I wish either a change in the lenses or some AI magic should correct it (lens distortion correction that is offered when editing is not capable enough). About some aggressive post processing, I wish there was a simple button to turn it completely off and then allow us to activate it in editing and adjust its strength.
10x zoom has s22 ultra, s23 ultra and also s24 ultra so nothing special about it like all the other options you said! I used the s24 ultra this summer at the sea and the screen after taking some photos and videos was very dark and the phone was hot! Samsung deliberately reduced the photo quality on the s23 ultra, especially the zoom to make the s24 ultra look like it has better cameras! Samsung will do the same thing with the s24 ultra when the s25 ultra comes out!
something that can definitely be improve is camera processing. It oversharpens photos way too much and lacks details. I use Gcam for photos and they are A LOT better in terms of detailes and natural feeling. Also, I used to think the battery was great... but it sucks xD
no one ever 😂 those comments that make you think that everyone hates mobile phones are from people who don't use that device and hate it because they can't buy it
Hi I love this phone and special cameras thing is I use a case with magsafe and I whant to use zoom more than 4.9-5 with magsafe case image become blurry until remove the case. Without case zoom is working just fine, try it!
I love my S24U, people are nitpicking with those complaints, non issues. And the more I learn and look for more, the better it gets, for example One Hand Operation+ in Good Lock.
Great way to draw us in, with such a sensational headline, but the shortcomings you referred to were hardly significant. I have been researching a new phone for my upcoming Black Friday purchase and this is way out in front and so far ahead of the competition that it’s hardly worth comparing it with others in its class.
I have no qualms at all with my phone. Just one glitch that I don't like at all is the jerk and the time it takes to focus in portrait shots and videos. This was never there with S23U
I personally don't think the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra needs to change or tweak anything. Its the perfect phone. The only thing I wish they'd bring back is the 10mp 3x optical telephoto camera that I have on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Samsung has definitely been slacking in camera upgrades, battery upgrades, charging speed upgrades, storage upgrades like a 2TB option, memory upgrades with 16-24GB options, Bluetooth codec support (AptX variants & LDHC), and most people find the S Pen useless and would rather Samsung better utilised the interior chassis space.
Honestly, I don't think anyone will notice unless they're a shill and try out every phone that comes out. I switched from s20 ultra, and it's definitely an upgrade to me.
Brighter AOD! Like it was before,with colors. I am missing a lot off my messages, quicker charging speed. Better cameras, no rounded corners. Better sofware like camera software and less gimmicks
It's a powerful device with two flaws. The screen coating although cuts down on reflectivity, it also dims the image just enough that you can see it when watching hi def videos. The second is the camera sucks at taking night sky pictures unless you put it on a stand because the new post processing software it uses makes it streaky.
As a S23U user, the S24U is still a very good phone albeit only marginally better. But those "hating" it, are mostly voicing that better (in aspects that matter the most for 99% of people) cheaper options are out there, it's just that sadly Western countries have less options (or people from there refuse to acknowledge the other options). With that said, I still think some of those haters are just echo chambers of haters of Samsung, or they're fanboys of the competing brands.
Cons: - Severe color banding compared to the S23 Ultra - Severe mura display imperfections compared to the S23 ultra (aka 'grain') - Severe overheating issues compared to the S23 ultra - Less bright than the S23 ultra 90% of the time due to overheating and forced brightness decrease in outdoor areas. Manual brightness indoors is actually darker than the S23 ultra based on my testing. - Degraded battery life compared to launch S23 ultra. I think you covered this in one of your videos - They got rid of the 10X zoom (Why?) Pros(?) - Flat display (personal preference is curved but most ppl seem to like flat better for screen protectors / s pen) - Anti glare display - personally don't like it (Decreases the vibrancy of the display significantly. This is NOT a software decision by samsung. The glass physically decreases the display vibrancy. Not worth the trade off IMHO, others may prefer it.) - 5x zoom for portraits - Better processor, particularly for gaming. Not noticeable on day to day use however, what is noticeable is the battery decrease due to higher power consumption. The color banding and mura is noticeable even if you aren't looking for it. It looks sooo bad on anything grayscale. Color banding is not a software issue. If it was samsung would have fixed it by now. I got an S24 ultra on a crazy deal for $780 about 2 months ago and returned it, couldn't force myself to look past the issues with the display. It's insane how much samsung messed up with this year's production cycle. Display scientists have found modern solutions for mura at least a decade past and a company literally known for their displays fumbled the ball this badly. Can't believe some people spend $1K+ on these defective disasters. S23U currently has the best display on a samsung, but finding it new is close to impossible unless you're willing to gamble on ebay.
Nobody hates the S24 Ultra except those who have been drinking too much Apple juice. Or those who spent $1300 upgrading from an S23 Ultra thinking it would be a big upgrade.
Excellent review. Totally agree. The camera, battery, and design are my pet peeves. Square bottom corner hurts my palm after a while. I love the S Ultra series and change it every year. Wife get the previous one, and I trade hers in for a discount on the new one.
There is not enough daylight between any of the top phones to waste time discussing. It is apparent that Samsung has whipped up their influencers to push the hell out of the S24 Ultra, however.
Well, I think the "hate" is because of the S24U's price that NOT everyone needs/want's myself included. Being a Samsung Note user since the Note 3 they've just become too expensive and really have no use for the S-Pen and have now settled with lesser 'S' series phones at the lesser price tag. For me (my opinion only) I refuse to PAY for all the S24U's features that I'll just never use or need but, that's my choice whereas others WANT that performance and features that may never ever utilize just so they can "say" they have the best of the best. It's a pretty oversaturated market these days with IMO too many choices/options at differing price ranges.

not a significant update to S23 Ultra. All the things that you have mentioned are already in S23 Ultra except the anti-reflecting coating
Most phones aren't a big step up from their predecessor why is Samsung the one that needs to reinvent the wheel? Ie. Vivo x200 and pixel 9 pro

Excellent video on this great phone. Is it Christmas already down under? (tree/decorations in living room).... or do you put decorations up really early?
We go away over Christmas! So we get the decorations up early for the kids to enjoy them while we're here
Can somebody tell me on this thread? How to get my keyboard to pop up when I swipe up on the home screen to search the entire phone?
Did you take any action photos with the s4 ultra??
I keep every phone in dark mode and data off , gps off , bluetooth off and turn them on only when i neeed it
Clickbait headline
Just another clickbait, don't do this man grow up a little
I still use my Samsung Note 5 and Note 8, those have stylus built-in too! Nothing new, glad Samsung brought it back. I used the stylus less than I thought I would but still a great feature when you need it.
When you are the best or have something that is the best, people will hate you because they are jealous. That is just human nature. Of course, famous tech guys aid a lot in that hate because they will always prefer Apple more because of Apple popularity, and that gives them more money.
Couldve put another title but chose misinformation
You obviously don't scroll Twitter/X often then lol
@@techwithbenefitsunfortunately for you I do
@Penguino19 you may not have the same algorithm I do, because whilst the S23 Ultra was universally praised, the S24 Ultra gets panned for everything I outlined in the video, plus also compared to other Ultra phones from other manufacturers and then gets hated on afterwards.
Did you watch the whole video?
@@techwithbenefits I did watch the whole video and im NOT criticizing it since it's very informative, im just criticizing the title because it can lead to misinformation right off the bet, that's all I've said
@Penguino19 fair enough. Entitled to that, thought I'd add some context where the title has come from. Cheers mate
I’ve been hearing a lot about the S24 series, but I’m seeing a lot of people complaint about the screen showing green and pink lines. Is this a widespread issue?"
S25 Ultra still uses 12 MP front camera? I want new one the current one has yellowing. I use S22 Ultra with 48 MP but the UFS 3.1 is too sloW
It is important to note that the statement "everyone hates S24" is subjective and not a fact. In my experience, the S24 Ultra has been well-received and has received positive feedback from users. I use the 24 Ultra for my daily and love it.
I don't hate it, I just like iPhone more.
Along with the S23 Ultra that I have, simply no one other device can impress me.
I have the s23 ultra also and jts a bloody beast. I feel like I want a new phone because I have a serious tech problem, but I just don't need one.
I think 'The Hate' is because the S23 Ultra was so good in so many ways. It was, and still is, such a popular device; but because of this a lot of people wanted to dislike the S24 Ultra even before it hit the shelves. By logical evolution though, the S24 Ultra is a superior device in almost every way, outside of, arguably, camera performance. Here, the S24 Ultra still does not feel finished off software-wise, and so many users are still praying for this miracle Big Promised Software Update to correct the cameras issues. The camera system on the S23U feels well rounded and well finished off in comparison.
At the end of the day though, S24 Ultra owners know what a great device they have. They need to ignore the haters, as so many of these have not even so much as touched an S24U.
What's wrong with the camera to me it's perfect
I just got this device, because I had to replace my Pixel 7 Pro in a pinch. Seems like a good phone so far. Just some things I have to get used to, such as flipped buttons for Back and App switcher. It's practically the same size as P7 Pro. Haven't tested the cameras much yet, but they seem pretty good.
I love mine , but should it need to be that bright for face unlock to work? And phantom touches are non existent, but so is screen touch sensitivity near the edge, I really shouldn't have to punch the screen that hard for it to register.
I'de rather they would do away with the 'do everything' software, and just have what most people actually use and have it work properly. Have a suite of apps for all the other tosh that you can download as when and if you need it, by all means. But until then my 3 year old Mi11 ultra is still streets ahead for my use case.
The alert on phone pick up to detect missed calls/texts doesn't work, yes it's enabled. No big deal just hate to know that.
Not really..... It's just that negativity gets clicks...
The best phone I have owned. And I have owned a hell of a lot of different phones over the past 20 years.
Weight is my main gripe. It is heavy on its own, but slap a mag safe case on it, and it wants pull my shorts down. This can also be painful for men depending on the shorts and activity. That pocket can let the phone swing around and pop you in a sensitive place. I still love the square corners which sets it apart from most anything on the market.
The one wish I'll never get is a curved back. I can deal with rocking because the majority of the time my phone isn't flat (how uncomfortable to look straight down on the table for extended periods of time). Also, the amount of time I hold the phone, the middle of the palm of my hand, will ache or cramp. For the younger crowd that's never known what it's like to have a curved back phone, you don't know what you're missing. More comfortable, easier to hold, and much better grip. I have an acient Motorola Droid Turbo. I picked it up the other day and was shocked at how good it felt in hand. I get it, new phones look sleek and awesome, but as far as ergonomics, they are completely form over function. Why else would they think glass on the back of the phone would be a great idea? The back of the phone has 2 functions - look pretty and break. Lastly, does anyone remember user replaceable batteries? You know, the phones where you could replace the battery if it started to degrade, or better yet, quickly replace when one battery ran down, you pop in a freshly charged one. That is still faster than any "quick charge" phone on the market.
Your title should have read "WHY does everyone LOVE the S24 Ultra?" Regarding the rounded sides and squared corners. I prefer them to the direction the S25 is headed. The rounded sides are more comfortable and the squared corners help prevent it from slipping out of your hand so easily. Having said that though, I always have my phone in a case for protection.
Any comments about the supposedly grainy/jeans pattern screen?
If we consider a telephone to be any device capable of transmitting voice over a long distance, the history of the telephone is much older. The first telephones were purely mechanical devices. Telephone (Greek: tele = distant and phoné = voice)
I understand what a ultrawide camera is, but when I use it to photograph groups of people, the distortion it gives to the heads that are in the left or right is extremely ugly, no matter how much I try to chose the right angle to take it. I wish either a change in the lenses or some AI magic should correct it (lens distortion correction that is offered when editing is not capable enough). About some aggressive post processing, I wish there was a simple button to turn it completely off and then allow us to activate it in editing and adjust its strength.
S24 ultra is just the best there is.. remember when you are on top, that's when the hate comes. Samsung is just 💪🏾
10x zoom has s22 ultra, s23 ultra and also s24 ultra so nothing special about it like all the other options you said!
I used the s24 ultra this summer at the sea and the screen after taking some photos and videos was very dark and the phone was hot!
Samsung deliberately reduced the photo quality on the s23 ultra, especially the zoom to make the s24 ultra look like it has better cameras!
Samsung will do the same thing with the s24 ultra when the s25 ultra comes out!
S24u has 5x optical zoom not 10x!
The only things we actually want are good cameras, IR blasters, and as SD card slots along with the powerful processor.
Who hate it? I had an iphone 14,and i switched to S24 Ultra,I LOVE IT!!!!!
Who told u that everyone hates it? You are crazy
something that can definitely be improve is camera processing. It oversharpens photos way too much and lacks details. I use Gcam for photos and they are A LOT better in terms of detailes and natural feeling.
Also, I used to think the battery was great... but it sucks xD
Great content. So which do you think is better the s23 ultra or the s24 🤔 ultra
no one ever 😂
those comments that make you think that everyone hates mobile phones are from people who don't use that device and hate it because they can't buy it
Hi I love this phone and special cameras thing is I use a case with magsafe and I whant to use zoom more than 4.9-5 with magsafe case image become blurry until remove the case. Without case zoom is working just fine, try it!
Interesting! I will have to see if I could replicate it
I love my S24U, people are nitpicking with those complaints, non issues.
And the more I learn and look for more, the better it gets, for example One Hand Operation+ in Good Lock.
Great way to draw us in, with such a sensational headline, but the shortcomings you referred to were hardly significant. I have been researching a new phone for my upcoming Black Friday purchase and this is way out in front and so far ahead of the competition that it’s hardly worth comparing it with others in its class.
I have no qualms at all with my phone. Just one glitch that I don't like at all is the jerk and the time it takes to focus in portrait shots and videos. This was never there with S23U
I personally don't think the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra needs to change or tweak anything. Its the perfect phone. The only thing I wish they'd bring back is the 10mp 3x optical telephoto camera that I have on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The S24 Ultra does have that though 😅
@techwithbenefits sorry I meant 10mp 10x optica telephoto camera!🤣🤣
Samsung has definitely been slacking in camera upgrades, battery upgrades, charging speed upgrades, storage upgrades like a 2TB option, memory upgrades with 16-24GB options, Bluetooth codec support (AptX variants & LDHC), and most people find the S Pen useless and would rather Samsung better utilised the interior chassis space.
Honestly, I don't think anyone will notice unless they're a shill and try out every phone that comes out. I switched from s20 ultra, and it's definitely an upgrade to me.
I have 1 and i love it only (bad) thing is that its a lil bit heavy but other then that i love everthing about it
Brighter AOD! Like it was before,with colors. I am missing a lot off my messages, quicker charging speed. Better cameras, no rounded corners. Better sofware like camera software and less gimmicks
What about the screen grain isn't that bothering you
I haven't experienced it
It's a powerful device with two flaws. The screen coating although cuts down on reflectivity, it also dims the image just enough that you can see it when watching hi def videos. The second is the camera sucks at taking night sky pictures unless you put it on a stand because the new post processing software it uses makes it streaky.
I didn't know they hated it until you said something.
Best phone i have ever had so don't know why your wrapping all over it
As a S23U user, the S24U is still a very good phone albeit only marginally better.
But those "hating" it, are mostly voicing that better (in aspects that matter the most for 99% of people) cheaper options are out there, it's just that sadly Western countries have less options (or people from there refuse to acknowledge the other options).
With that said, I still think some of those haters are just echo chambers of haters of Samsung, or they're fanboys of the competing brands.
Unless you got your views from iPhone fanatics, nobody hates S24 Ultra. We all love it
Cons:
- Severe color banding compared to the S23 Ultra
- Severe mura display imperfections compared to the S23 ultra (aka 'grain')
- Severe overheating issues compared to the S23 ultra
- Less bright than the S23 ultra 90% of the time due to overheating and forced brightness decrease in outdoor areas. Manual brightness indoors is actually darker than the S23 ultra based on my testing.
- Degraded battery life compared to launch S23 ultra. I think you covered this in one of your videos
- They got rid of the 10X zoom (Why?)
Pros(?)
- Flat display (personal preference is curved but most ppl seem to like flat better for screen protectors / s pen)
- Anti glare display - personally don't like it (Decreases the vibrancy of the display significantly. This is NOT a software decision by samsung. The glass physically decreases the display vibrancy. Not worth the trade off IMHO, others may prefer it.)
- 5x zoom for portraits
- Better processor, particularly for gaming. Not noticeable on day to day use however, what is noticeable is the battery decrease due to higher power consumption.
The color banding and mura is noticeable even if you aren't looking for it. It looks sooo bad on anything grayscale. Color banding is not a software issue. If it was samsung would have fixed it by now.
I got an S24 ultra on a crazy deal for $780 about 2 months ago and returned it, couldn't force myself to look past the issues with the display. It's insane how much samsung messed up with this year's production cycle.
Display scientists have found modern solutions for mura at least a decade past and a company literally known for their displays fumbled the ball this badly. Can't believe some people spend $1K+ on these defective disasters. S23U currently has the best display on a samsung, but finding it new is close to impossible unless you're willing to gamble on ebay.
Nobody hates the S24 Ultra except those who have been drinking too much Apple juice.
Or those who spent $1300 upgrading from an S23 Ultra thinking it would be a big upgrade.
Excellent review. Totally agree. The camera, battery, and design are my pet peeves. Square bottom corner hurts my palm after a while. I love the S Ultra series and change it every year. Wife get the previous one, and I trade hers in for a discount on the new one.
I don't hate it ,I love my S24 Altra
nice click bait
There is not enough daylight between any of the top phones to waste time discussing. It is apparent that Samsung has whipped up their influencers to push the hell out of the S24 Ultra, however.
This phone-it's one of the best phones I've ever had. This phone is the truth; it does everything for me.
Well, I think the "hate" is because of the S24U's price that NOT everyone needs/want's myself included. Being a Samsung Note user since the Note 3 they've just become too expensive and really have no use for the S-Pen and have now settled with lesser 'S' series phones at the lesser price tag. For me (my opinion only) I refuse to PAY for all the S24U's features that I'll just never use or need but, that's my choice whereas others WANT that performance and features that may never ever utilize just so they can "say" they have the best of the best. It's a pretty oversaturated market these days with IMO too many choices/options at differing price ranges.
Who tf hates this phone? Click bait 😂
This is the first time ive heard anyone hate. Ive only heard everybody love s24 ultra
I love my 24 ultra. I come from the DSLR world. I am now shooting 4k stock video and stock photos with expert raw.
I have it as update of my 5 year old phone and I´m fine with that. Only issue is, that samsung process some photos more, then I like.
It’s awesome!!!! Had S23U and are both complete!!!!7 years updates!!!
Never heard of anyone who hates the s24 ultra
