5/5 - STAR RATING FOR THIS SMARTPHONE! ( GALAXY S24 ULTRA 512GB ) ITS ONE OF THE BESTEST PHONES I EVER OWN AND IT PACKS A LOTTA POWER WHEN IT COMES TO PRODUCTIVITY, DOESN'T MATTER IT CAN BE PERSONAL USE OR BUSINESS USE! 2024 IS THE YEAR OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY BEING BORN... LETS GOOO!
I love my experience with this phone , the camera quality is pretty awesome and the AI features are really cool I recommend this phone to all my friends and family
I had the S22 Ultra. This is a slight upgrade. They changed too much customization especially on notifications. It took me a week to get the new phone somewhat dialed in. I would say performance is about 20% better than the S22 Ultra. I don't really use the AI extras, it seems the upgrade is heavily focused on that. Battery life is about 10% better than 2 year old battery in my S22. I could have easily waited for the S25 Ultra, but the trade in deal was too good to pass up.
It's a nice phone. Samsung Customer Care is absolutely terrible. Also, zoom features are WAY BETTER with s23 Ultra. I should have gotten that or waited for the s25. Theyre putting way too much faith into "galaxy AI." Images are blurry at 30x and 100x. 5x and 10x photos are better. I use this for concerts and im not close to the middle. I want better quality ZOOM.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is an upgrade from a Galaxy A-53, which in turn was an upgrade from a Pixel 6 Pro. I thought that the Pixel would be an upgrade from a Galaxy Note-9, but I was dead wrong. Besides not having a stylus, the "native" Android experience was not even close to what I was hoping it would be. I'm not excusing Samsung's bloatware or the app store hijacking apps that were installed by Google's Play Store (Zoom, Vudu/Fandango, etc.). However, the overall experience puts even the A53 above the Pixel. (I got the A53 because it was all I could afford at the time after I decided I had suffered the Pixel long enough.) The only thing I miss about the Pixel is the camera array: it's better than the A53, and the the phone doesn't wiggle when sitting on a flat surface. To be fair, though, my S24 Ultra doesn't wiggle either, but only because it's safely enclosed in an OtterBox. (Honestly, I do not understand why most phone manufacturers put their cameras in the corners and have the lenses protrude so much: it's like they're begging for the cameras to be the first things to break. I would really like to see a larger battery, which would mean longer uses between charges, as well as a built-in means of reducing the size of the camera bumps.) Let's be clear, the Ultra is a heavy-weight brick. It's not for small or even medium hands, nor is it for long sessions of games or doom-scrolling -- I'm talking the weight. It's heavy. The battery holds up extremely well. In summary, the S24 Ultra is exactly what I was expecting from a new top-model Samsung phone. I may dabble with other brands in the future, but I'm definitely going to study up on them first. (And the Pixel will never again be an option. Not the phone, watch, ear-buds, or anything else bearing that name.)
On a side-note: I also have a Galaxy watch. It pairs with both the A53 and S24 very well, and I've been quite happy with it... but that's a different review.
