@@Everyday_Legends It honestly pains me to see someone put this much effort into putting out slick content like this without being rewarded for it. Hope your channel explodes!
😭I actually did the opposite. I'm a lifelong Samsung user, and even had the Fold5 recently. I'm in the process of selling my S24U for the 15 pro max I just bought. The S24U is a solid if not the best android phone currently out, but I have gotten tired of the android system. The 15PM for me feels like a breath of fresh air while I get used to doing new things. I heard Apple is releasing an update that will bring android features to iPhone later this year. I'm sure I will probably go back to Samsung for the fold series in the future, but for right now I'm enjoying the new experience.
@@jermainemouzon4909same, but i have the S10+ right now and had some Samsungs and everyone started to lag so i try the 15PM and Android 6 and 7(there are some rumors) are Not my type and iOS 18 i find pretty nice
@Everyday_Legends omg you are so rite I' love everything about my s24 ultra hopefully s25 ultra will have bigger battery if it does ill try it if not I'll stick with my s24 ultra
It's the Swiss Army Knife of phones. It can do everything relatively well, and I can customize it to do basically whatever I want. I'm actually really starting to appreciate it more after I was obsessed with buying a Fold 6, but I smartly stopped myself. The S24U is what it means to be a flagship phone.
Same and i just upgraded to s24 ultra. Dont do it, phone is great but camera is not that impressive. It is soo similar to s20fe, the main one which we all mostly use
I just sold my s24u. Using s24 plus. Lost the spen and the 5x zoom but phone is lighter and just as fast and bright. But I agree the s24u is the best overall android experience.
The S24U is probably the overall best android device, but the S24 Plus is an awesome value. Glad you found a phone that works for you! Subscribe for more 😎
I started my smartphone journey in 2011 with android HTC Explorer. After a bunch of different Chinese androids I switched to iPhone in 2018. And after a couple of iphones I'm back to android with the s24u. My plan is to use it for a year or two and switch to a foldable when the tech matures.
The new Pixel Fold 9 looks great! I am very interested to see what the Z Fold 7 and the new OnePlus fold will look like. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
Watching on my S4 Ultra.... definitely an amazing phone. This is the first time I'm using an Ultra though, I usually get the base model or the plus. I always thought it would have been too large of a device but only when I got it I realised it's very manageable. Definitely was worth purchasing.
@@yuzzarayAs someone who was experienced SD card corruption issues, I hope and pray that they never bring that abomination back. Respect to you and your opinion though.
Meanwhile me with iPhone 12 Pro Max not really feeling that is a 4 years old phone. Seriously questioning the justification for upgrading to a new phone these days, i'm not in favor for android nor ios, just stating facts.
I completely agree with you! I am an android fanboy, but this is why Apple is considered to be the best. I can't deny that I see more iPhone 11s for example, than Pixel 4's in the wild 😂 Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
I switched from 15 Pro to S24U... definitely no problem in performance whatsoever... the only thing i dislike is the size with back cover on... this is massive and heavy...(but this is quiet subjective)... photos are great but still miss the videos are still better in iphone 15 pro.... that's it my opinion...
Not this week, but the next, I will be doing a review on the iPhone 15PM. As an Android fanboy, the 15PM is incredible. I agree, the cameras are better on the 15PM in most scenarios. Samsung is supposed to be pushing out an update for the cameras specifically but it's still not here. And YES, the size is insane. I much prefer the form of my Google Pixel 8 Pro. All-in-all though, the S24U is just a beast of a phone! Thank you for watching and please subscribe for more 😎
I have this phone and it is perfect with just one flaw --- The sharp cormers drive me crazy sometimes, I'm waiting for the S25U which is gonna have a little rounded corners and absolutely gorgeous design with thinnest bezels ever on a smartphone. Waiting for that!!
Can't wait for the S25U! I have a comparison to the Google Pixel 8 Pro dropping next Friday and I cover this. The S24U is a little too sharp and boxy for my liking. If you're not subbed already, subscribe for more 😎
The Fold 6 is such a nice looking phone! I hope you are enjoying it. I think the s25 ultra is going to be amazing, but we will have to see in January/ February time frame. Please subscribe for more 😎
Anyone told you you look like young Woody Allen? So about the screen protectors, I think they are super overrated and not needed on these new phones if you have a good case. The screens barely get scratched after years of use ! Nice concise content, subscribed
🤣 no, but I have been told I look like Damian Lewis from Band of Brothers. I don't worry about scratches, but I have to admit that screen protectors have without a doubt saved me from cracking a screen many times. If you don't drop your phone a lot, you should be good to enjoy that antireflective screen with zero issues 😎 Thank you for subscribing!
I have an s23 ultra 8 gigs of RAM 256 gigs of storage it worked great in the beginning and then it started to get really hot the battery wasn't working too well but I got it repaired I got a new screen and a new battery and it's working great now
It's much deeper than this, but where it all starts, in my opinion, is "all my friends and family have iPhone" - blue bubbles, all apps friends use, social media, general app optimization, FaceTime, etc. It's a walled garden. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
@@Everyday_Legendsyep. I got an iphone when I was a teenager because that's what my family had. We still share photos, still have old group chats, I have a plethora of notes I've written years ago. I'm in too deep my brother.
Finally upgraded my Note 9. Just ordered a 512gb S24 Ultra for only $757 from the Samsung store! Couldn't resist $600 off for a flagship that is only 8 months old. I don't care about phone tech, it's just that last month my Note 9 got a bad chip on the screen and the s-pen broke so it was time for a new phone. Excited to get it in 2 days!
Got s24u for about more than a month, im satisfied. I gotta say tho the cons are the grainy screen and the mediocre camera software but the pros of this phone are many more for my use case and they dont exist in any other phone out there so it worth the compromise for me. After all nothing is perfect in our world.
Many people talked about the grainy screen issue. I noticed minor grain, but it was never a concern of mine. Overall, I think the screen is just beautiful. Hopefully on the S25U, it will have better quality control. Thanks for watching, subscribe for more! 😎
@@wheelyflac yeah, unfortunately, the grain issue does seem to be hardware related. They can help hide it with software, but at that point it's better just to send in for a replacement. If it really concerns you, wait until January timeframe for when they release the S25U 😎
@Everyday_Legends replacement doesn't fix. They all got it sadly , all my friends have it. It is what it is. I dont remember If u talked about it in this video but make sure to talk about it if u do another Review on s24u so more people get to know they issue so Samsung gets concerned about the compains and finally fix the issue at least on next S series.
@@wheelyflac I can make sure to mention it. I didn't in this video because to be completely honest, it never took away from my experience. Sill the best looking screen out there to my eyes. Good point though, simply for awareness so Samsung can fix it on the S25U 👍
I've had mine since launch, and I came from the S23 Ultra. The S23 Ultra was great, but the S24 Ultra is perfect. Some simple things, like the non-reflective screen, are such underrated features. Oh and im definitely prefering the flat screen
I wish it had an IR blaster! And move the FP reader to the side (power switch) like the Flip/Fold uses. That is the best FP reader and if you use a screen protector you don't have to worry about it messing up! IF Samsung goes back to curved screen for the S25 Ultra as rumored, it's game over. I won't get a curved screen again. Exception is the OnePlus 12. For $800 you get the same chipset as the S24 Ultra, 512GB UFS 4.0 storage, 16GB RAM and it even has an IR blaster. It has to be the best "cheap" flagship phone in 2024.
IR blaster? Are you Flossy!? 🤣 That would be cool if Samsung brought this back! I prefer they keep the under-display fingerprint sensor so they can keep improving it. The side fingerprint is still great though - loved it on my folds. I like the look of the curved screen, but it is worse in every way. So, I also hope they keep the flat display. My channel is not monetized yet (soon!), but I plan on purchasing OnePlus devices because you and many others have mentioned the OnePlus 12. I got to try it! Thanks for watching and subscribe for more! 😎
This can be true, depending on how you use the device. Samsung does offer a matte screen protector, but it is not glass. Hopefully they can offer even more scratch protection with the S25U. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more! 😎
I’m not saying that can’t be true but I’ve been using mine for 6 months with no screen protector and I have zero scratches on the screen. My iPhone 15 Pro Max on the other hand, does have micro scratches. Both are handled the same way. I’m careful, but I wouldn’t say I baby either device.
The anti reflective screen has to be one of the most awesome things I've seen in a device. I can comfortably use it at like 40% - 50% brightness and rely on the display to hide reflections. Awesome feature. Hope to keep using this thing for the next 6 or 7 years until all the updates are done for it.
I love the phone, but I've never reached 7 hours at least SOT. It's around 5.5 to 6 only with very minimal usage, no gaming, no 5G, using the light performance option, and most apps are in deep sleep. Any advice?
Do you have the snapdragon model? I am responding to this after working all day - listening to RU-vid, music, taking phone calls, responding to messages. I charged to 100% at 4am this morning. I am currently at 53% taking a break from my workout 😂 you may have downloaded a third party app that drains your battery? Too many possibilities, but if you can't find a solution, try resetting to factory. One thing that personally have never done is charge my phone wirelessly. Other than that, this thing is my heavy hitter. I use it for everything.
I get 11 hrs of SOT with the S24 Ultra and I am an extremely heavy user, binged watched YOU (netflix) for 11 hrs yesterday. There's definitely something wrong with your unit. Do a factory reset.
The S24 Ultra is the world's most powerful and flexible and versatile mobile device for sure, but I wish it's camera system had better software. The shutter speed issue indoors is just not good enough on a flagship, and it's video can have over sharpness and over exposure issues. Things could be a lot better.
If you are really concerned with scratches and drops, 100% yes. BUT, you will lose the anti-reflective benefit. It's an expensive phone...if it were my only phone, I would put a screen protector on it. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
Mine will be delivered tomorrow (supposedly). I’m trading in an iPhone 15Pro. I’ve gone back and forth a couple times, but have been mostly android (and mostly Samsung, within that market). I’m really excited! I started my photography stuff with the S21 (base model), and can’t wait to get ahold of the 24 Ultra!
@@Everyday_Legends I got the amber yellow. In some pictures and videos it looks more of a cream, but in others a muted gold. It reminds me of the soft gold glow of light in a Victorian home’s parlor for some reason, and I just can’t get it out of my head! 🤣 If I end up not caring for it, there’s always a case to cover it up!
@@Just_Call_Me_Tim you are going to love it. I have seen it in person and it's beautiful! I am releasing a S24U vs Pixel 8 Pro video Friday, so stay tuned for that 😎
Using iphone 15 pm, upgraded from s 21 ultra and i have to say apart from video department s 21 ultra was hands down best to use, with apple you always feel you are restricted by the ios, no multitasking at all, bad truecaller experience, simple free app are always paid on ios, typing is a nightmare on 15pm, selfie camera is worst, makes me appear 10 years older. If you are looking for an all round performance from a phone which can do anything samsung flagship are always better than apple
I have used S21 Ultra,22,23,and Now own S24 Ultra, The Phone is a beast with features but Its a downgrade in terms of image quality, The camera's performance is worst that S23 Ultra, Its so inconsistent with image quality, video quality is pathetic. I remember clicking sunset shots with S22. S23 ultra.. They used to be magnificent! and now they are washed out with no contrast, blended colors overall very unhappy. All people praising S24 are paid to do so.
Samsung is supposed to be sending out a camera software update soon, but it's still not here. I am hoping it gets here before the S25U does! haha. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more! 😎
I sold my S23U and gave up on Samsung after 7 years of using their flagships only. Mainly because of terrible camera experience (not that there aren't many other problems present, weak and soft vibration for example). Could not deal with shutter lag and blurry and unusable pictures of anything with even slight movement. Also, camera on Samsung phones is just unpredictable/unreliable. Take 3 shots of same subject, one after another, you might end up with 3 totally different results. I waited 10 months for software updates to "fix" things but they did not.
Yeah that's fair. This is targeted toward the average consumer who wants the best phone possible. There are cheaper options. Matter of fact, with the release of the Pixel 9, the Pixel 8 Pro can be found under $500 in great condition on used websites. I highly recommend it as a much cheaper alternative to the S24U. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
But the cost of an average phone from the top three (Apple, Google, Samsung) in 2024 are at least $1000.00 now. I admit they are all expensive, but most do not pay full price with trade ins, and mostly pay for the service.
This was blown way out of proportion at launch (I have had mine since launch). I suggest going to any store that has it on display and do all the grain tests. I still 100% recommend this phone. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
I had a Fold 4 and absolutely loved it. I never had an issue with the screen, but I missed the flagship cameras. The Fold 5 is a great device! Thank you for watching and subscribe for more 😎
What Icon pack are you using? I've never seen the icons in a round formation like you have displayed on your screen. For instance when you pull the spen out.
If you are talking about the S-Pen Air command icon options - go to goodlock and download Pentastic. You will find the option for the Circle Air Command there. If you are talking the general icons - these are the stock samsung icons, but I forced them to round using Nova Launcher. Thanks for watching and I see you are subscribed, so thank you for that! 😎
Ahhhh yes I know your pain haha. I switch between my S24U and the Pixel 8 Pro. Download Nova Launcher! It takes care of that and adds a lot more functionality to the device. Subscribe for more! 😎
Glad you liked it! I will put this down on my list 👍 Only issue with channel growth, is the list keeps growing 🤣 Thanks for watching and subscribe for when that drops 😎
The only thing the Pixel is missing is a Dex equivalent and a stylus pen then I'm sold. The 9 looks so good but it had none of these features that I liked with the Ultra.
Dex is one of those features that I don't use much, but I have to admit that it can legitimately be a PC replacement for many people. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
I have the s24 ultra and i love it. I've only ever had 2 Iphones and would NEVER go back to apple! Apple use the same boring design and rubbish software every year. With Samsung we get better updates, better features and we can customise our phones to the max!
A year ago, i wanted to buy a phone since my used iphone X that my parents gave me was really glitchy and none usable. I researched and stuff and really liked the S23U.. boxy design, better display, larger phone, good battery, brtter cameras, more powerful, etc... but my parents pressured me to buy a 14 pro max, and i did, i got a good case, screen protector, camera protector, and had it a little over a month. But i quickly lost interest, its not the phone i want and not the phone i like, its not meant for me. so i sold it with my parents, bought an S23 ultra. And never regretted it, they said id lose interest in it and stuff, and they said "dont come to us telling me thst this phone is nothing" ive had it since july, and im still learning new features, runs smoothly. Never dissapoints.
you say it's the best display but what about all the issues with grainy screen in low light?.. is this all true as I am undecided if I should buy one??..
Sicne 2015 was in iOS continously, after long years i have decided to switch to s24U and believe me 0 regrets.. ill never go back to iOS. I have a greay feel and User experience.
I just switched to Iphone 15 pro max, previously had 23 ultra unfortunately lost it, got new s24 ultra, had a issue the pictures taken seemed grainy when I zoomed in, dun know if it was a manufacturing defect but was highly disappointed I loved my S23 ultra😢. I had an issue with S24 ultra camera , I tried all the settings on it rest everything was great. Has anyone faced the same issue?
Yeah, take a look at reddit, you aren't alone. We are supposed to be getting a camera update that is rumored to be major.... nothing yet on my phone though. I prefer my S24U for video and Pixel for photos. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
I have never used the Sony, so I really couldn't say. I can say that the screen plus the anti-reflective coating is better than any phone I have ever used.
I was one click away from getting it but i had to go with the Fold 6. Believe me i debated it for days but i like being the only one within my vicinity to have one!
I think that the cameras on the 15PM are going to be better in most scenarios. Samsung is supposed to be sending out a camera software update soon, but it's still not here. If camera is your #1 focus, stick with the iPhone 15PM for now. We are close enough to the end of the year that you might as well wait and see how the iPhone 16PM and S25U look when they come out. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more! 😎
Good day, @Everyday_Legends. I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, which, in my professional opinion, represents the pinnacle of mobile technology available in the market today.
Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎 I would hold off and really think about if you need it. I've had two foldables and they were fun, but I never opened them enough to justify it. I think the S24U, or even the new Pixel 9 Pro XL, are better buys for the majority of people.
Yeah, I guess it's how you handle it. Without a case, especially comparing it to my Pixel 8 Pro/iPhone 15PM, I definitely feel it. A case helps though. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
I think this is a great option but I use screen protectors more for drop protection than anything. So if I can't have tempered glass and the anti-reflective coating, it doesn't do much for me. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
Pro tip because I too have had this issue. It sounds gross, but before registering your fingerprints, LICK your finger first. The sensor needs your finger to be moist and this is especially difficult when you put a barrier, like a screen protector, between your finger and the sensor. Let me know if this helps, it works for me. Thank you and subscribe for more! 😎
I like protecting the longevity of the battery, so I will always use 25w. If you really need a quick charge, 45w is great though. Depends on what your priority is. Subscribe for more 😎
I heard something about a washed out looking screen on the s24ultra?. This had me on the fence weather to get this or get the s23 ultra. What do you think cause that oled screen has got to be popping colorrrs!!!
Some people experienced that early on. Complaints were made on display graininess and Samsung had taken away vivid mode in the software. They have since added it back and it's just as poppy and vibrant as the previous generations! Definitely don't let that stop you from picking it up. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
@@Everyday_Legends okay thanks man, cause literally every device with a screen I own is an oled. So anything that's subpar wouldn't be nice......subbed !
The video quality (viewing content) is an easy 10/10. The video quality (camera video) is better than Pixel and iPhone in my opinion. I use my S24U to record all my videos because it gives me the most reliable, consistent, and clearest image. If your priority is video, S24U does not disappoint Thanks for watching and subscribe for more! 😎
@@Everyday_Legends 23U screen easily scratching, reflective and sides curved ,s24u def. much better for satnav. 10x camera is only 10mpixel, s24 5x better for portrait and city photography. paid $550 for s23U maybe next year will upgrade
Yo $550!? Awesome find. I will be picking up the S25U when it comes out. At this point, I have no idea how Samsung will improve that much - the S24U is just so good. We will see! 😎
With this camera software (they didn't even care to remove shutter lag, and it has been on every Samsung device for years now, with a lot of the other camera problems) S24U can't be "nightmare" to Iphone or any other Android flagship at this point. Blurry pictures of anything with even slight movement and "we'll fix it with updates" lies from Samsung should not be acceptable in this price point.
Completely understand your point. Shutter lag is an issue. I have in my content plan to do a comparison between this and the pixel 8/9 pro (depending on when I get to it). I will be specifically addressing the shutter lag. Thank you for watching and subscribe for more 😎
@@Everyday_Legends shutter lag is an issue and has been for many years, but most of the reviewers don't address it and don't even mention it. Some test shutter lag counting how many times you can press shutter button a minute with device pointed at wall or table (conclusion is always the same - "it's better then last year"). And that's completely useless. It should be tested just as we, customers use our devices. Take a picture of moving subject (especially indoors, even with great light). Repeat that same process with Pixel or Iphone (or any of competitor devices). You can make scenario the same by telling friend to walk towards you and pressing the camera button at the same exact spot. I know a lot of people who gave up on Samsung (myself included) just because of blurry unusable pictures of their kids, pets... PS no, Camera assistant does not help (used S23U for 10 months and tried literally every combination). And no, one should not use Pro mode in order to get decent picture. Whole point of cameras on mobile devices is simple and reliable point and shoot experience, at least how I see it.
@@Everyday_Legends I would appreciate that, "it's better then last year" (and it isn't) isn't enough. If everyone called out Samsung for what should be corrected (basic things), we would have better cameras years ago.
All the hype in the world won't get me to buy another Shamsung phone.. every time I fallen for the hype and bought one I was totally disappointed. I don't care what any fanboy says, all Samsungs lag! The s21 ultra was the final one I will ever buy and I hate it. Freezes up all the time. Battery life is horrible. I just will never buy another one
Hey there, thank you for watching! So I would agree with you on older Samsung phones, being that I've owned a few myself, but with the s24 Ultra. I'm being entirely honest with you that I do not experience any of these issues. I highly recommend it, but if you don't want to buy one that's your prerogative. Please subscribe for more 😎
I was 10 years apple user and I dont want go back, I just switch to s24 ultra and I can set eversthing the same like my last iphone with so many bonuses thats crazy
My main problem with iPhones besides what that company did to me to make me leave is that fack that's they get so hot like why a phone should not feel like it could cook food
I will buy this around November so when price drops. I always buy flagships 8 or 9 months after its release. Coming from a Note 10 plus for 4 plus years now. S25 Ultra will be expensive so this is my choice and i am going full ecosystem: 24 Ultra buds 2 pro and watch 6 classic
That's a great time to buy! The buds 2 Pro and the Watch 6 Classic are great accessories for your S24U too. Note 10 Plus is such a beautiful device! Thank you for watching and subscribe for more 😎

#6 "a bloody charger in the box" hit my soul 😂 I hate that companies copied that from apple - saving the environment...💰💰💰. Terrific points!

The S24 Ultra is the best well-rounded phone of 2024. One UI has the most amount of features and the S-Pen is very useful. My only disappointment with this phone is the camera, particularly the photo quality. Samsung fans are not going to like what I say, but the photo quality is a massive letdown. Samsung reliance on AI processing and lack of optimization makes it fall short of the competition. The video quality on the other hand is really good. Even though Samsung needs to improve the low light performance, I appreciate that it doesn't have the annoying lens flaring that you see on the iPhone and Pixel. Of course, I use an actual camera if I need to take pictures.
Best display...except for the 24+, which is identical and if you don't need the beefy cameras, you save yourself at least $300. True, the anti-glare screen 'could' be nice if you spend a lot of your time in the sun, but I've lived without the anti-glare glass that I don't think it's worth another $300 given that the screen is already as good on the 24+ in every other metric.
This is a fantastic point. You gain a few perks with the ultra, like the ones you mentioned, as well as things like the S Pen. You are getting 99% of the ultra with the 24+. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more 😎
For me, as I’m from Germany, the s24 plus has the Exynos chip and that’s a huge bummer. I want the phone so bad but I just don’t want to buy it if it has the exynos.
@@Catalanskrr If you know someone in North America, you could purchase one with the Snapdragon and have them send it along to you; they are all world phones now, so I don't think you have anything to worry about as far as compatibility with a carrier.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but if you mean my folder style, I use Nova Launcher for the most part. There are a couple of clips with the stock samsung launcher.
Okay, let's get this titanium thing out of the way once and for all. There's like 4 or $5 worth of titanium in the phone. It's only grade 2. Its more cosmetic than anything
Can you debunk some of the cons that most youtubers are saying it has. I think that video will be very unique. Just make a video on cons people think it 24u has and confirm whether it has it or not. I want to buy it but the cons are stopping me.
