The S24 Ultra is a good phone all around. Cameras are good, s-pen is nice for jotting notes, and the flat screen is a nice welcome. Although, I have 2 complaints. 1 is that the screen seems washed out when on the lock or home screens. All apps appear to be fine. Number 2 is the new gestures. I thoroughly enjoyed the hidden gestures on the S23 Ultra and S10. With the S24 Ultra, I often find the back and multi app view gestures to interfere with daily use. Specifically, when trying to write a note, the back gesture keeps getting triggered no matter the sensitivity. It would be nice to go back to the hidden, standard layout of previous generation of Samsung phones.
Everyone keeps talking about the camera and the AI functions but no one has mentioned the sound. It is INCREDIBLE!! I keep handing people my phone while playing music and everyone is blown away at how great it sounds.
A great upgrade from my S22 and the flatter screen is better than expected. Faster processes, sturdy body, expanded camera features, and "AI" is a game changer.
It's a refined device but there's still lot of improvement needed. It's still gives issues transferring data from previous version of this phone. It's Sad!

So far I really enjoy the S24 Ultra. I upgraded from the S22 Ultra mainly for battery life. The battery life has been outstanding so far. I really like the new flat display. I enjoyed the curved display but after using the S24 Ultra for about a week I like the flat display more. Love all the new features. Especially the new AI features. From my own personal perspective I think this is a perfect phone. It does everything I want it to and so much more.
