I'm not a gamer and device is almost exactly the same comparing to my old S22U. Pros: Better camera, faster face recognition. Cons: I paid a lot. What for? For ability to rename a device? For ABSOLUTELY useless AI? I didn't buy S23U because I expected that Samsung can improve at least something. Nothing! It is a shame. Reaction of my wife who had S22U as well: "I couldn't find any difference" It looks like it is time to buy Chinese models.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Yevgeniy, Thank you for finding the available time out of your lively day to share your sentiments with us about your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. For your convenience, I have linked the comparison/contrast between the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Galaxy S22 Ultra for your review. The Galaxy S24 Ultra has better scratch resistance with Corning Gorilla Armor which helps protect your screen looking beautiful along with a new sturdy armor shield of titanium built right into your frame! Of course, your Galaxy S24 Ultra is still water and dust resistant based on an IP68 rating which tests for submersion in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes. The Galaxy S24 Ultra’s camera is the first Galaxy smartphone to come equipped with the Quad Tele system. With the Quad Tele system, users can take clearer, crisper photos in the optical zoom range they typically use. Even when shooting in digital zoom ranges, users can get more detailed photos and videos than before thanks to AI Zoom solution, based on the new ProVisual engine. In addition to zoom, the powerful ProVisual engine upgrades high resolution, Nightography and Super HDR photos. An upgraded processor drives the Galaxy S24 Ultra with NPU performance improved by 41%, GPU by 30% and CPU by 20% compared to Galaxy S23 Ultra. Its Vapor Chamber is 92% larger than its predecessor for improved heat dissipation. At 2600 nits, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has the brightest adaptive display on a Galaxy yet. Plus, with Corning Gorilla Armor, the screen is less reflective than the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Finally, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 200MP Wide-angle Camera with ProVisual engine for AI enhancement, which is the first application on a Galaxy smartphone. Those are just a few improvements that we've made since you've upgraded last! Feel free to reach out to Samsung Support if you have any questions for us or if you would like any further assistance. We're always happy to help! Thank you for being a treasured Samsung customer. - Debra
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Obtained phone on launch day and I've yet to regret my decision. S-pen continues to be my favorite piece of the device as it comes in handy for my group pictures and videos for my social media platforms and family gatherings. The speed of the phone is leaps beyond that of my s22 ultra (that I used to it's full abilities as well).

HORRIBLE! Over half the Apps are not compatable!

HORRIBLE. COULD NOT BE WORSE. Over half the Apps are not compatable. upon install they lock up the phone. Battery life is worse than my 3 year old note 10. Even with hahalf the Apps installed the memory is almost maxed out. TONS of bloatware, adds attached to every screen. NOT HAPPY!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Camera: S24 Ultra 200MP (Wide) produces the best quality even if you zoom the picture it keeps gives you better picture quality.50MP (Telephoto 5x) They gives the best Optical Zoom Quality which is very impressive. 12MP Front-Wide it gives better details and natural colour of an object. 200MP Can handles light objects very well.Video qualityis good , Stabilisation is good ,Me as a Mobile Photo and Videographer I really enjoy. To be fixed: The Low Light areas really needs to be optimised again so that it gives better details in dark areas.
AI Features: Live translate it gives better understandings while chating with someone from a difficult language.Circle to Search feature you can easily search any image, video or text on your screen so that you can easily search whatever anything you want. There's more Chat assistant, Photo Assistant and Transcript Assistant and I'm really enjoying all of them.
Battery: S24 Ultra 5000mAh battery lasts for about 9 to 10 hours strictly using with the WiFi On, 5G network on, Using Cameras and Highest brightness.
Screen: Flat Screen, Anti-reflective coating screen, which requires you to use Anti-Glare Screen Protector, this screen type does not reflect in any place whether you are in light areas they can't reflect like you can't even use it as a mirror. It's also a 2600Nits peak brightness which is the better brightness provider really exciting.

This phone is the absolute biggest piece of junk I've ever owned. It's slow, anytime I need to open a link through my email (when it opens my email, which is rare) it tells me ts not available, it snaps pictures at random, it shuts down at random, and I could keep going and going. DONT BUY THIS PHONE!!!
