This wasn't much of an upgrade for me coming from an S23U. The display was less vibrant and consequently, camera pictures appeared less vivid than on my S23U as well. This phone was brand new and the battery would barely last a full day of average use. Certain apps like Snapchat kept crashing / screen kept going blank while in use. At this pricepoint, I think these issues are unacceptable and definitely a bit worrisome. I've gone back to my s23u and the experience is the same as the s24u minus the issues I mentioned.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Hilarie. The Galaxy S24 Ultra shows significant advancements over its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, with improvements in both hardware and software. It features a durable titanium frame that adds to its premium feel. A standout enhancement is the Quad Tele camera system, which allows for clearer, higher-resolution zoomed-in photographs. The 50MP camera includes a 5x optical zoom capability, enabling users to capture vibrant images even in low-light conditions, thanks to the Nightography feature. Additionally, the new ProVisual engine elevates the photography experience with high resolution, Super HDR, AI Zoom, Nightography, and Generative Edit functionalities.
