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.

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

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

Watching this on the S23 Ultra 😊

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

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

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.

Phone of the year!

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

CNET never thinks everything right about Samsung the first time.

Sold my 15 pro and apple watch ultra 2 and bought me a s24 ultra no regrets wutsoever no more apple ❤

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

Them removing MFT and the SD card were the worse things they could've done imo. The MFT alone was a game changer.

Phone is very powerful and a multitasking monster. I still use my iPhone 15 Pro, but not as much as the S24 Ultra. The screen was great; I didn't even adjust it after the update. I use the pitaka mag ez some protection keeps it slim

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

Very helpful review. Thanks

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.

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

The usefulness of Samsung MST probably depends on which country you're in. I haven't swiped a payment card with a magnetic strip in over 15 years. The last time I swiped a card was with a loyalty/store card but now these have also moved to digital QR/barcodes or NFC based cards. Although Samsung MST is relatively newer tech, the magstripe/swipe card readers that it communicates with at payment terminals/checkouts is very old tech (introduced in 1970s). Hence it has been replaced with newer tech like chip & pin and NFC in many countries. This year in Europe some payment card companies will begin removing the magnetic strip from their cards. MST might have had a longer life if Samsung made the technology non-proprietary and allowed other phone manufacturers to use it.

Watching from s24. I love my phone!

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.

Super excellent explained and all❤

5:04 agree 100%

I agree. I love my Samsung s24 Ultra of 1 tb.

Best review is right on. The biggest deal about this Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra is entirely the flat screen and the anti-reflective screen coating! What a game changer! Unfortunately, there aren't any screen protectors that match that same type of anti-glare. Even the Samsung branded one isn't as good as the coating that is built into the screen.

Hello dear...i have an s23 and i like it, even though i dont use near as much as it can do. Cuz im older. But im glad to see you as a Samsung fan not i phone like most young people

Watching this on my S24 Ultra

This is the best phone ever, i have all the phones, nothing compares, makes the iPhone 15 pro max look like it's about 3 years behind

S24 plus here. Great phone.

i absolutely agree with you about MST! Im not totally over their removal of this feature

Getting mine next week I can’t wait

I strongly disagree about ditching the 3x optical zoomlens for a 5x. The main camera is always a wide angle lens these days, and it just warps proportions. When taking pictures of an object I generally use the 3x, because that is more true to what the real life object really looks like. So instead, I hope that Samsung will give us a better (say 50 Megapixel) 3x optical zoomlens instead of messing with the zoom levels. I get the remark about the camera not being an interesting talking point anymore, but I noticed a huge jump in picture quality this year compared to the S23 Ultra last year. Much less oversharpening, much more true to life and yet more impressive colors, I don't know why it's so much better but it really is. As for AI features, "Circle to search" is absolutely brilliant and has helped me out on a number of occasions. Amazed how well it works. What I use the most though, is the summarising feature for websites. Saves me loads of time on long articles! Oh, and about the screen: everything you say about it is true. The anti-reflecting properties are fantastic, the fact that it isn't curved anymore is great, but also: all the bezels are the same, there's no more "chin". It's really much better to look at and much more easthetically pleasing, haha.

1 Week with my S24U and absolutely love it! I've always been a loyal Note user and have missed the practicality + S pen after 3 years with my S21 Ultra (which in its own right was a great phone)

Excellent video! One of your best 👍

Lack of the 10x optical zoom will likely have me hold off to see if next year's model has it as I use it regularly.

Love your handwriting ❤

Glade to see a review from you it's been a while but how come I haven't seen a foldable review

Miss Samsung NFC in in the middle of the device not like iPhone that's on the top back. Place it well if you wanna use it.

This phone beats the year

The best entertainment smartphone available on Planet. Enjoying my monster Galaxy S24 Ultra. Always Samsung and Snapdragon.

Wow, didn't realize how good that anti-reflective coating is, thx!!

I have the S23 Ultra and love using the AI photo edit features as I like to find out what it would do, yes it doesn't get it right first time but with more AI learning it will get better. Only thing I wouldn't really use is live translate as I don't travel out of the UK but handy to know it's there

Do a Screen Record then play your video then press to do the SloMo... Then you can edit the screen record if wanted

One big difference I noticed accidentally - despite having read Samsung's claim S24 improves upon S23 night photography - didn't know how big a difference it is until I tried. Especially on long end (Tele zoom) and auth virtually very little light/at dark night, I was able to get pretty clean, sharp, stable images that I couldn't at all get it off S23. If you got S24 Ultra, definitely give it a try. Handheld, tele zoom, night time Louboutin was AMAZINGLY BRUT AND SHARP.

The 10x optical zoom only works well in good light.

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.

From my own experience with both phone it seems like the 15 PM has better battery life than the S24 Ultra.

0:49. I know why Samsung waited so long to bring this gorilla armor screen, but what I don't know is why they didn't bring it on the S24 Ultra sibling

I'm very happy with my 512g S24 Ultra. I put the Tan Leather Kickstand WTCase on mine & what a beautiful look. The display isn't as bright as my S22 Ultra was. I guess it's the dark, basically Privacy Display that came with the 24 Ultra. I can still see it here on a sunny day in SE Texas & it's a power house. Don't like the keypad, takes getting used too. It's a bit higher than on other Samsung's in the past. Don't use AI.

I went years without a screen protector on my S10 and didn't get any scratches. Made it a month with S24U before it scratched.

I'm Monte! Dog has quite a cool name i must say

Will the anti-glare work even if i use a screen protector?

😍 Waiting ❤️ for 🔥 25 ultra 😍❤️🔥😱✨💖😻🤩

My problems Display color banding Display grain if you really look closely Avg camera (S23 ultra was better) Heats lil more than s23 ultra Really missout rounded display for immersive feel Higher price

Wish i could have the newest Samsung. I had to downgrade to a pixel 7a since I'm on a budget 😕 i do however like my pixel 7a currently

5:04 did anyone noticed the zoom effect when she goes from 0.6 to 5x zoom?

Facts 10x optical zoom is better than 3x zoom ❤

Hi..Any links for both Cases you showed ?.TIA

Yep

finally someone said it the zoom downgrage wasmt necessary

The screen details were announced months ago when the phone came out. Maybe they’re just emphasizing it more now?

Samsung should have put a 50Mpix 3x zoom to cover the 5x range, and then also put a 50Mpix 10x to also cover the 20x range. While they're at it, put a 50Mpix on the 0.6x, and put them all horizontal across the top of the phone like a pixel so the phone sits evenly and doesn't rock on a table. That's what they need for the S25!

the shadow eraser and object eraser are pretty old I have it on my 5 year old note 10 running android 12

My text translate wont work. It says unsupported language when i try to convert English to Spanish

the ultra is awesome

Link to purchase the case?

How much SR

I use the AI for photos all the time, I do love it, now I don't have to go to another app. I miss the camera onthe 23 ultra. I am a little disappointed with the 24 camera. I am a basic photographer. I'm going to compare some some photos soon. I don't have the 23 anymore. But took stunning sunset photos in Carmel. Even sold some.

Still love my s23u. I can't see me going to a s24u just for a little less glare...

I bought the S24 Ultra and had to return it after 2 weeks because I hated the design. Instead, I swap it with the S24 Plus since they have the same display & refresh rate

I upgraded from the S22 to the S24, no regrets. I also switched to Google Wallet because Samsung dropped MST (which I also loved).

Can someone comment about how long Samsung supports its phones? I had an S2 and it was essentially obsolete a month after getting it as they wouldn’t keep the OS updated and android apps wouldn’t support the previous generation of OS. So just wondering if things have gotten better. I have an old iOS phone and it gets updates and apps for years.

You came from the s22 ultra to the s24 ultra? I hope to hear from you if you get the s25 ultra? I have the s22 ultra plan on getting the s25 ultra in 2025.

The jumping effect when you change camara was key to NOT buy it

S7 still works for me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have an s23 ultra and my camera is terrible. I really hope they done a better job on s24 ultra..

Circle to search is quite useful, Pixel 6 Pro over here.

Lot of issues like ( Screen quality - Green line, camera quality & heat issues ) .. do you have any such issues

S24U is really useful, but the camera is not that great.

There is a very annoying bug in this pho ne rn. if you use gesture for navigation, swipe up to exit the app and then quickly swipe up and hold to open task manager, it glitches. It is very annoying. Other than that i got no problems with this phone.

Watching on s22 ultra I upgrading to s25 ultra next year you are beautiful though

I use the AI photo editing suite all the time.

Couldn't just compare the battery to your old s22 ultra?

Omg, Samsung won't stop paying I see ...

The best thing about this review is her accent.

WTF? they got rid of mst? I still have a s20 fe and was hoping to upgrade, but not without mst. Why? Does that mean I have to shop at places that have a samsung wallet terminal? I've never seen places that I shop at with samsung anything.

I use a screen protector and it completely takes away the benefit of the non reflective screen. I'm not risking scratches tho

S24 Ultra Sunlight Display Issue is there, Have you faced it ??? Check your phone How much time the display is Visible in Sunlight ???

I wish they kept MST 😬

As an s24u I am bit appaled but the overall development cycle of the phone. Like the camera software is really half baked and this will continue till eoy and we will just move on

👍

No microSD card again makes it a skip for me. Sticking with my S20 for another year

You can count on CNET to make the most negative positive video about a Samusng device. She couldn't even bring herself to call the S24's screen the best screen on any of the current flagship devices. I guess that's just a bridge too far for CNET 🙅🏿‍♂️

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Watching this on S24U 😂

Dex,s pen, display, titanium frame, up to 1tb storage! Nuf said! 🫡 And watching this video on my S24 Ultra in titanium violet 1tb storage ❗

100% agree on Samsung Pay 😭
