Samsung S24 Ultra battery lasts way longer than my previous S22. The S22 was a great phone as well, but this one is a little better in my opinion. I like the AI features as well. Not sure yet if it was worth upgrading, but the reason I did was for the storage, I upgraded to the 1TB version.
Picture post processing is the worst thing Samsung has ever done. IT RUINS EVERY PICTURE. S23 ultra had better results taking pictures without that forced post processing. Set it to Minimum is still too much, there should be an option to turn it off COMPLETELY. Pictures are a form of art. They should not be changed by force in an unreversible way, they should just reflect what the photographer is aiming at unless, the photographer wants the AI collaboration. Moon pictures taken with the S23 ultra a year ago were astonishing. Use that as a time reference for your algorithms for a time when it was really good and update S24 software to mimic that before the post processing forced intrusion to alter every single high definition picture colors and textures.
