Thanks for watching! Love to hear your thoughts on S24 Ultra so drop me a comment 📲

Just switched from iPhone 15 pro to S24 Ultra. Super pleased. The camera is insane.

Went from iPhone 12 to S24U and, to be honest, I love this phone so far. The screen, battery, and cameras are the factors that made me decide to switch.

my mom has the s23 ultra and I have the s24. the screens are different, the camera output is much better than the older one. but one thing I like is when I go outside and I live in a tropical country and the screen of the s24u is soo bright I can see it! it's amazing when you live in a very sunny place and you're outside. I hope they come out with camera update soon for the s24u.

I use Samsung wallet mainly because my passwords are stored there too along with auto fill and biometrics. Samsung quick share is highly underrated.

Why do people continue to doubt Samsung phones? They are light years ahead of anything else.

I'm watching this on my s24 ultra, and I love this thing.

I love the anti reflective screen especially when using it under direct sun, and the circle to search feature is really convenient for daily use

[Peter_Cetera]

You are absolutely right. The screen is a banger! A USP. Alone for the screen I love the S24 Ultra!

CNET never thinks everything right about Samsung the first time.

I've been using it for months now. I like how the black titanium body is not easily scratched. The AI features make a lot of things easier—so easy to copy any text/number from anything even picture by using the circle to search. The built-in photo editor is very handy and practical...far ahead compared to that of the iPhone (I own an iPhone 15 Pro Max). The bigger, bright, squarish display is brilliant. I always avoid using my iPhone to watch Netflix and such because the curved display makes the experience less enjoyable, unlike the S24 Ultra's. Just my personal experience with it.

I came from the s22 Ultra too! Love this phone!

[Richard_GIS]

Circle to Search translation is my most used feature so far - translation was never easier - no more bixby vision, foto taking and then analysing - just pretend on making a foto and circle

Summer is starting in the northern hemisphere . Nice😊
Sent from the southern hemisphere. 😢

Sticking with my S23 Ultra because of the 10x zoom. I make quite a lot of use of it.

[joshuajaimescruz]

She said " Samsung s24 ultra is better than I first thought" but when you watch the whole video. She left no room for any appreciation 90% of the video is criticizing the s24 ultra lol.

[SkyDomeVIZE]

Good review, you pointed out good things I don't think of. Is true I used Samsung pay a lot at one point because of the MFT. Unfortunately they got rid of the MFT along with SD card. Still good phone over all.

[videobiker]

I’d have to say that I would agree with you about the optical zoom versus the digital zoom. I have a pocket camera that’s capable digital Zoom but then I also have a digital SLR. I am much happier with results when I use the digital SLR, even though the zoom isn’t as far. Great presentation

I upgraded from an S22 and the biggest improvement for me was the cameras. I attend a couple of live events every year and with the S22 the performers were just a light blob against a dark background. This phone does a much better job! And yes, the screen to me is amazing! Not to mention the speed of everything. I am very pleased. And I actually got a better deal from Samsung on this phone than I would have gotten on an S23 ultra because they gave me an extra $200 for my old S22 AND gave me a free upgrade to 512 gigs.
