I love this phone. I wish I had bought it sooner. I waited because I thought I had to pay the total price upfront. However I was able to make monthly payments. A lot cheaper and less time than a regular carrier would charge.
Upgrading to the s24 ultra from s22 ultra i didn't see a drastic difference in much aspect of the device some software tweaks but nothing substantial if my s22 ultra hadn't broke if still be using it that's to say that Samsung flagship phones are well worth it especially if your not looking to updated frequently
It's fast. Looks good. Having had a chance to really play with the camera yet, but I'm sure it will be as impressive as all the reviews say it is. Two disappointments/surprises though compared to my S10. The analog clock on the Always on Display is gone! I didn't realize how important that is until now when I don't have it. Before I could glance at my phone from any angle and any distance at anytime and know the time. That is no longer true. In addition, changing what is displayed on the Always On Display is a treasure hunt and the built-in Help doesn't help. The S10 measured pulse and O2 level. Those features are gone in the S24.

The S24 Ultra is truly a wonderful, powerful phone. I enjoy the build quality, which is robust. The screen is nicely responsive, and the new non-glare coating is a nice touch. The AI features are for the most part very useful, especially for translating conversations live with people I am around whose "English is not so good-looking..." It also helps me improve the fluency of the languages I am trying to learn as well, so that my replies sound like me, only in that language. I like the speedyness of OneUI on the S24 Ultra: I have been using Samsung smartphones starting with the Moment, (and the TouchWiz UI), and it is like night and day. I look forward to using the improved cameras as well as I do a lot of photography. This brings me to the one thing I wish that Samsung brought from earlier phones: expandable memory. The S24 Ultra was the replacement for my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, which had SD card support. It came in handy for all the music, videos, photos, and documents that would have filled the storage up in a hurry. I know cloud storage is a thing, but having that media available on device thanks to SD cards when cellular or wifi is not available is super useful. Thankfully, Samsung did allow twice the storage (512 GB) for the same price as the 256 GB when I bought my S24 Ultra. To summarize: the S24 Ultra is a worthy upgrade for prior devices such as the Note 20/Ultra. I look forward to putting it through it's paces with all my use cases as a power user, especially with the Ultra's killer feature from the Note line- the S-Pen (the joys of which I forgot to mention earlier!).
Firstly, i got the 512gb and what you see online before purchasing is what comes in the box. The functionality of the phone is amazing, smooth operating system etc. I do not use my phone for gaming so far the battery life is pretty good. Weight is good feels very light. I highly recommend purchasing a phone case in advance or same time with your own. Overall 5 star phone and worth the price.
