Galaxy S24 Ultra After 3 Months: A Long Term Review 

NOT the phone of the year by any stretch.

To be honest with you we have got to the tipping point, we need more than incremental processor update and camera refinement.

You can call it the phone of the year, maybe in the restricted US market, but the 2024 Pixel and iPhone have yet to be released. But globally, there are some exceptional phones that are as good, IMHO.

@andyH_England to be honest it's kinda obvious iPhones aren't ever the phone of the year due to the lack in software which makes th class industry hardware unless n just a market gimmick and pixel when it comes to software reliability isn't as good, like pixel 7 series didn't get any galaxy AI and the s21 series got circle to search, I understand snapdragon is more optimized but if the s21 series can handle circle to search there is no reason why the pixel 5a 6 series n 7 series and fold couldn't have received it, also what's weird it they are reviving the XL model and making its smaller, 6.5" phone in 2024 or even in 2020 was considered the medium sized phones and maxed out phones are usually 6.7" or 6.8" and lol the naming I don't like they are calling it the pixel 9 fold XL they should just call it pixel fold 2, such a complicated same for a phone. Google pixel is the sweet spot if you want simplicity because it used to be boring like iPhones but they fine tuned the software and made it simple but at the sametime productive while iPhones are too basic, which makes it unproductive and boring to use and is very time consuming for basic tasks

phone of the year with a grainy display issue ?

Give a bit till the 24U bugs up after a month you will regret it

​@larry-of9kh had it for a month and my battery actually got better but little bugs

@@larry-of9kh What bugs?

@Delicate141 screen lags, battery draining fast the camera quality sucks, grainy screen color's

Agree!

I went from the note 9 to the s24 ultra and its an amazing upgrade you wount be disappointed I promise but if you want to wait for the next ultra go for it.

​@@feeji418 that is a very confusing statement brother 😂 Either should i go with s24 ultra or not ? Other wise every year there is going to be a new ultra and i will be like waiting forever 😂

@ijazzzali Id get one u wont be disappointed 😂

@@ijazzzalibro just buy it as this loop wont stop😂😂😂

worth the upgrade hope u enjoy it if u do

Samsung talks a lot with its marketing spiel, but the reality is Apple bought to market Titanium last year and uses a more expensive variety. Samsung cheaped out again!

@andyH_England I am curious to know how having less titanium is related to cheaping out on its product thats like implying that Apple is being cheap by not manufacturing their own screens because it costs more so instead they rely on Samsung...

​@andyH_England it's 6$ worth of it they both cheap lol

What was the reason?🤔

@@PhoneArena - I saw the Google Pixel 8 Pro and had to go back as my smartphone before the Ultra was the Pixel 7 Pro.

Then why you get 24ultra​@@DeadofWinter321

@@DeadofWinter321 Yes, I upgraded my S23U to the S24U as the deal Samsung offered meant I only paid £30. But it isn't much of an upgrade, and I doubt I would do it again. I also have the Pixel 8 Pro as my second Android, and I now use that 90% of the time. It is only subjective, but I prefer how the Pixel works for me.

Nothing Samsung has ever made has ever been or will ever be better than one apple makes, apple destroys Samsung and any android in the phone department

Wish mine had 😢

Wow, watching videos on my ultra looks great

I also ended up with the grainy screen unfortunately returned it for a replacement and still same issue so just returned it again and ended the contract as they likely had the early bad batch which supposedly have this issue sadly.

@@tytownsend8219 There does appear to be a widespread grainy issue with Samsung devices. I am unsure if it is poor QC as Samsung makes cuts due to massive profit losses due to Qualcomm sacking them. Mine also has it, though I usually use a matte screen protector, so I am used to that grainy look.

Long Live iPhone
