Additional review notes:
This is the brand new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and even though it looks like one of the best phones from 2023, there are some major upgrades, and actually a couple downgrades. There are 4 things you need to know about this phone

1 - Flat Display
Still 120Hz, QHD+ dynamic amoled 2x display
Still 6.8”
Nearly identical in size and weight to last year

Four Colors + online exclusives

2- CAMERAS
12MP front facing like last year
12MP ultrawide like last year
200MP wide camera like last year
10MP 3x optical like last year
BUT the 10x optical was replaced with a 5x
This was 10x 10MP and is now 5x 50M = 12.5MP at 10x

3 - Samsung baked AI features into the phone, with 4 main ones that stood out to me
There is an AI button throughout the UI now

i) Circle to search
ii) Chat enhancement (translate, change tone, check spelling/grammar)
ii) Translation in calls, text, voice recordings, etc. For example, Voice recorder transcribes, separates by speaker, and adds to notes - easily translated to other languages
iii) AI summarizer, (also auto format, spell checker, and translation in Notes)

Specs -
Snapgradgon 8 Gen 3
Now all models have 12GB RAM and 256-1TB storage
Battery is still 5000mAh
Same 45W charging speed, same wireless charging 2.0, and reverse wireless charging
Now has WiFi 7 compared to last year’s 6E
Still Bluetooth 5.3
Still IP68 water resistant

4 - 7 years of security updates and 7 generations of OS updates

    Just pre-ordered the S24 Ultra in yellow. I can't wait to see it in person when it arrives
  • The Ultra Version with Black & Purple Colour is Certainly My Cup of Tea!!! Absolutely Super Upgrade than the Previous Generations!!! Magnificent 😃👍🏻
  • @CerdurTV
    512gb starting point is pretty cool, I have a s20+ holding onto it because of the sd card. slightly easier for me to finally justify going for a 512gb model if it's the starting point. I wanna see the online exclusive orange color in real life
  • @allexayare5459
    I think it is a worthy upgrade from S22 Ultra, can't wait to pre order mine
  • @ricky1000
    Interested in how the exynos chip performs compared to snapdragon
  • They've not changed much. They've settled, but it's a good thing with Samsung knowing the sweet spot. NOT much you CAN change with an already near perfect phone.
  • @Blueblur599
    I managed to pre order the Samsung Ultra 24 1 tb in blue during the unpacked event! :) I did mess up the billing address but the bank called and I confirmed the transaction so it's all good! :)
  • Coming from the S23 ultra i dont see the upgrade. S23 ultra is perfect. All the AI and software will come very soon to the S23 ultra. If you have S22 ultra or older then it is an upgrade. Good persentation mike
  • @delta_cosmic
    It took them 10 years to stop using edge displays on their phones. 2014 was when the Note edge came out.
  • @Manasyavani
    Pre ordered mine at a samsung store after the keynote they have in display played with it....getting mine in titaniumgrey...not a big upgrade from s23u....but a great powerful phone atleast here in canada comes with sdgen3 so taht 7 years of software promise is more reliable compared to pixels with tensor g3...the only down side for s24 ultra is its box design and not rounded corners they dig into your palm and hampers comfort...i felt it in 5 mins of use...a silicon case would solve that...
  • @mikec1554
    Upgrading my s22 ultra to this. I really like the flat screen finally
  • @aubinbaldonado
    8:50 For now, will have to purchase the magsafe cases that will be released when the phone is released.
  • @MancTraveller
    Currently have the Pixel 7 non pro, really debating getting this but ive used Pixel for a number of years now, really debating getting yhis Ultra while dpinle memory and free Pixel watch. But also worried that Pixels AI come the Pixel 9 being released will be way ahead. No idea what to do 🤣
  • @S01DATT
    What I wanted but not getting was a hidden selfie camera...My S22U breathes a sigh of relief
  • @morm2173
    I'm more excited for the z fold 6 ultra this summer
  • @eriktheblue3496
    This is a huge upgrade from my Note 20 5G Ultra, and seven (7) years of OTS support is the main reason I'm sold on it.
