[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the phone. It helps me get the work done as well as do the extra things with the pen that would have been a lot more difficult to do with a traditional non pen related device.
I had the same issue as everyone, and after buying samsung every year I realize this phone they messed up. Hopefully it's a software update, since I can't return my phone anymore.

Save your money, just get the S23 instead!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung seems to have run out of innovation with this model. Virtually everything is the same as the previous model. I can't name a single feature worth the upgrade from the S23. The only noticeable improvement is the battery (marginally). Overall, I would recommend holding on to your previous model and wait another 2 years before upgrading to another Samsung device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ultra has awesome features like the S Pen. Unfortunately the display is really lacking. Compared to my Flip 4, the screen is very washed out and grainy. Indoor pictures with the camera can also be blurry. Outdoor pictures are great though.

I bought my S24 Ultra less than 1 week ago. I am always super super careful with my phone so as to not get scratches. I had my last phone my S10+ for 4 years. I did not have a screen protector on as it's supposed to be fairly scratch resistant. However I've been extremely careful with my new S24 Ultra while waiting for my screen protector to arrive and it already has several small scratches!! Extremely irritated and frustrated!! The S24 Ultra is "supposed" to be super scratch resistant and yet I already have micro scratches that absolutely should not be there as I've been so careful with it!! My last S10+ didn't scratch like this in the entire 4 years I had it! So disappointed that the S24 Ultra scratches so incredibly easily! Wishing I still had my S10+ now! This new one is definitely NOT scratch resistant as it claims! I'm tempted to pay to get the screen replaced but I'm not about to spend extra money on something that is supposed to be good quality just to have a new one scratch so stupidly easily again!

Complicated and not compatible with older apps. It seems to control things at a level I don't like. My older phone, I could close apps even delete many. The notifications will drive you nuts on the new one, good luck turning some of them off, it is not offered as an option. There is a lot running in the background all the time that you have to work hard to find and shut down or else your battery won't last the day.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great device, good camera, memory, ship set. I would prefer if it was a bit smaller and thet this device had the finger scan behind the phone, as it was on the S9+.
