Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Review | Two Months Later...

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.

I got the S24 Ultra and it is my first flagship as the cost is too high IMO. Only reason I got this one is that mobile company gave me a half-price deal on the 512GB model. Loving it so far.

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.

After 10 years of using iphones switch to samsung s24 ultra and Im so proactive and discovering new features and abilities. Iphone was simple and nothing to choose from

[martinscown]

Got my s24 Ultra at launch, and it is brilliant, and I agree the connectivity is awesome, definitely much better than my previous s21 Ultra Exynos!

Just upgraded to the ultra from an s10. First new phone in 5 years ive had to relearn the new systems and gestures. The s10 was and still is a great phone. It was hard to give up

I agree that the Samsung keyboard is very poor. Gboard is definitely an improvement, but I think the best I've used so far is the Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard. The autocorrect is next level and the word prediction is excellent.

I just got my S24 Ultra on Monday, and so far, I am absolutely loving it. Everything from the animations to the display is amazing.

[MarkTolmanMA]

I got the Galaxy S24 Plus. It is nearly perfect, especially the battery life. I'm glad I got the smaller one.

Chris, there is NOBODY on YouTube who's reviews and YT page I enjoy more than your. Ilove this channel and you are freaking awesome Sir

[Rika-sensei]

Honestly I really like the sharp corners. That's one reason I picked the phone. The whole blocky rectangle design is how I like it

[otepdotnet]

I had zfold5 and traded for s24u no regrets and i really love every bit of it! The boxy from factor is a different user experience, media consumption is much more enjoyable

Watching this amazing review from S24 Ultra 👏🏼

[BigJeffroeX]

I have the S24 Plus and I love it. Everything has been Awesome I've ever made it my daily driver and my Google Pixel 8 pro my side piece 😊 thanks for the video keep up the amazing work uncle Spurt

Ordered this phone for myself and my partner we got them half off through Google Fi and while I'm not sure 1k is worth it 600+ certainly is I'm sure after watching this! Very excited and also never had a phone in my fav color, purple.

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?

Phone reviews are more/less the same on all channels but you sir deserved my subscription with you sense of humor :D
Keep up the good work!

I got the 24 ultra for 1 month now. Aside from the camera quality inconsistency, it's the perfect phone for me. Customised everything to my liking and lifestyle. From the home screen to smart thing, modes and routines . For me it's the second time in my life I feel this is the perfect phone for me (the other time was with a note 8😅). Great review and a big thumbs up.

[nordlyselsker]

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.

[keqling]

honestly these phones are getting EXPENSIVE! the performance and cameras are more than enough for anyone i wish companies focused more on the cost now
as always nice vid uncle spurt keep those jokes running lol i live your vids

[judyheinz]

S24 plus for me. Love it: the size and rounded corners are nice. I rarely used my S pen when I had the S22 ultra.
