Galaxy S24 Ultra

I just upgraded from a Galaxy S22 Ultra to the S24 Ultra and I am quite disappointed....the colors are dull and faded compared to my Galaxy S22 Ultra even on Vivid QHD. Plus I can't use my AOD at all when I'm in low light conditions, it's virtually unreadable!!!! There is no way to fix the problem or brighten the screen to be able to even see the AOD!!! Why do I have to download third party apps to fix the issues on all a brand new very expensive phone that should be an improvement on previous model phones. If I knew it was going to be a downgraded phone I would never have upgraded!!!

Samsung is the worst phone I tried to switch from mi to samsung starting with my dad's phone that went all good in the second attempt I bought a samsung A15 from their store and within 4days it's not working at all when I took the phone back to the store they refused to replace it saying it's a software issue which can not be replaced according to their company policy. So I have taken a wow to never ever use samsung because they sell refurbished phones with seals it's the worst 👎phone ever in my 17 year phone usages. I wish there was a minus rating please don't switch from any brand to samsung

I was super psyched about this coming out specifically for the camera as I am a photographer and thought whoa. That'd be awesome. Well after months using it I would literally return it if I could. AND would if it were an actual camera. The AI interference on simple areas of focus when using zoom completely ruin images. I'm truly baffled

Bought it back in january and cannot see anything being better than my s20. battery doesnt last long, pictures arent any better and when you touch the internet icon it collapses. really really disappointing. not worth money not better than my s20

Moisture detection fault constantly annoys me, wish I didn't get this phone will get rid of it soon ! Bad move bad design by Samsung !

The 1/5 star rating is because the phone only lasted 14 months before I had a major issue. The phone had no external damage, and was not dropped or anything. The phone went completely black one day (wasn't overheating, had a ~62% charge), and would not turn back on or charge. The Samsung Experience store reviewed and said the battery was probably dead. No store had a battery in stock to quickly fix it (called 5 different one's in my area), so now I'm waiting for at least a week for them to try to replace the battery and see if that resolves the issue. Compare that to my S10, which worked fine for 4-5 years. Quality just isn't the same, I guess.

I bought this 1 terabyte phone 10 months ago and still great

I have been so pleased with my S21 Ultra that I was really excited to upgrade to this phone and get a decent trade in for the old phone. Upon receipt, the phone looks beautiful, especially in titanium blue. They definitely spent the most time on the aesthetics of the build. Unfortunately, once I turned my phone on, I started to have a bad experience. If you have been following what users are experiencing, you are probably already aware of these issues. First - the colors of the new display are drastically different compared to the older phones. I understand that Samsung is trying to make their displays more color accurate and less saturated, but there was always the option to choose natural or vivid. I don't understand why they would change how the vivid mode works because the people who use that mode are looking for the punchy, saturated colors. The folks doing photo/video editing or online shopping for color specific things could always switch to natural mode for that specific task. They did push out an update recently that adds "Advanced settings" for the Vivid mode that includes a white balance adjuster as well as a "Vividness" slider. That helps somewhat and I'm sure they'll refine that over time as more and more people complain. Second - the images produced by this phone have a distinct "grainy" texture. It is caused by something called the "mura" effect where the oled pixels don't uniformly lower in brightness. This results in a low-contrast, irregular pattern or region that causes uneven screen uniformity. This is especially noticeable in white and gray content and makes the display look really bad. If you use dark mode, it's going to be even more noticeable with regular use. Samsung's official response to people who have reached out to complain was that this setup allows the phone to display very dark areas at the cost of the grainy look it creates. They recommend that you use the phone in light mode to minimize the effect... I don't know about most of you, but I almost exclusively use dark mode for all my devices, including my work computer. It saves battery and is easier on the eyes. Third - I guess tangentially related to the first item, they have changed the way they are displaying colors on the phone and have switched to displaying both SDR and HDR content with the sRGB color space. While this creates better color accuracy and is great for HDR content, it results in a banding effect on anything with a gradient in SDR content. I believe they were previously using DCI-P3 but are now using sRGB which has 26% less color space, resulting in that banding you see. More than 95% of the content we consume nowadays is SDR, so it doesn't make sense for them to force the sRGB protocol if it's going to reduce image quality and create noticeable banding in most of of the things we watch/look at. I still have my S21 Ultra that I was going to trade in for this phone but I wanted to test the two side by side for a few days. Doing so left me disappointed as I feel like I am getting a worse quality display than my 3 year old phone. I've been a loyal Samsung user since the S4 and never had any issues with any of the displays on previous phones. This is unacceptable for a flagship phone that is as expensive as this one. TLDR; I like the look of the phone and the flat screen. The Titanium Blue color with the darker frame looks really good in person. The phone feels quick and snappy and there are notable improvements in One UI if you still use that. The images taken from the cameras do look better on this phone compared to my S21U. The AI features are fun for like 5 minutes, haven't really used them since. If you try to remove a larger part of your image, the AI will fill it in with another random object that it thinks would look good there, producing some strange results. Circle to search is nice but that's not exclusive to this phone. There are lots of display issues with this phone and I don't think all of them can be fixed with software updates. Some people are reporting on these problems while others have not noticed. I don't know if that's because of different users' sensitivities to image quality or if there are bad batches of phones being sent out. Either way, I can't recommend this phone until they have addressed those issues. If you have a more recent ultra series phone (20,21,22,23), I would hold onto it as it's just not worth it. Once you notice the issues, you will start to hate your phone. I would wait until they sort these issues out with updates or recalls.

Voice to text iconic change is terrible. The icon used to be located in the row just above the keyboard. But now it moved to the lower left hand corner of the phone. Which is way more inconvenient. And it also does not work effectively. You have to press it exactly right. If you do it too long some weird new search option appears on the screen. If you do it too short the microphone doesn't work. Also when you finish doing a voice to text and send the text the microphone often pops right back up again and starts recording without you even realizing it. Never ever had this problem before with any previous version of Samsung Galaxy.

This phone has nothing special to offer. You can't even get your phone to put your pictures in any kind of order. I have owned samsung phones for I don't even know how many years and their product is starting to go downhill and this phone stinks. I had a Samsung Galaxy 23 and Samsung couldn't fix it. I'd only had it for 6 months. I got the 24 and it is terrible also.

After using and testing the phone for three days I can report that my prejudices stay intact, I will try to be as impartial as I can be and only talk about my own experience, in terms of pros and cons. Pros: 1. the phone is snappier than before, not by much, but still. 2. The speakers are louder, albeit with distortion. 3. The 10x zoom on camera is better, if anything, not worse than before, even though it's no longer optical but hybrid. Cons: 1: the fingerprint sensor is the same one they used in s21 ultra, it's terrible and still doesn't work most of the time. 2: the phone is just as heavy as before, even with a titanium frame. 3: battery life is worse. 4: the screen doesn't seem to be any brighter than it was in s23 ultra. 5: the 3-button gesture navigation is gone and has been replaced with either buttons or Google's terrible "swipe from any side to go back" with no option to go back to the old system. 6: charging times are as slow as they were before. 7: no QI2 support, s-pen and touchscreen don't function well when connected to a magnetic charging source. 8: NONE of the AI features work, at all, screen search is unavailable, "circle to search" doesn't work and is unavailable. 9: s-pen protrudes from the body of the phone and, without a case, comes out by itself. 10: the new screen attracts dust like a magnet, not sure why. 11: Space Zoom is now completely unusable, Super Slow Motion feature is just GONE... I used it to detect flutter in industrial fans and its... Gone. 12: none of the old cases fit because the form factor is different.

if you already have s23 ultra don't buy this product s24 ultra, this is nothing but old wine in new bottle.

This phone was not amazingly good from the beginning, but it was doing good enough. Good cameras etc. However, bear in mind that if you drop it from knee length, while it's in a protective case and has a tempered glass screen protector, it might still cause a dent in the screen and dead pixels. Which is what happened to me. In the first 3 months of use. Samsung told me that this costs £224 (or €265 or $287) to fix. Because it's not in the warranty. So, although Samsung boasts for the unscratchable, unbreakable screen, and although you can have it fully protected, it still will malfunction very easily by dropping it from knee length in the frist months of use. And you will have to pay extra to fix it, although it's an already overpriced product. If you own it already, sell it as fast as possible

This phone is a TRASH. IMO. I went from an A21, and there's barely a difference. The camera is better, but is inconvenient when setting it down on a surface. It's inner systems are TRASH. I work from my phone and the just general way the phone functions is absolutely ridiculous. This phone is what you'd expect from 10 years ago, not 2024. It's SO buggy. Texting, emailing, etc, is a nightmare. Auto correct is trash, as well as general functions related to this. If I wouldn't have gotten it for free, I'd 10000% be returning it. ALSO - SAMSUNG wouldn't let me post this review until jumping through hoops. Lol.

I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra almost a year ago when it was first released. Overall, I’ve enjoyed using the phone, but I recently encountered an issue with the S Pen. When I pressed to eject the S Pen to use it as usual, the lower part of the pen came out separately, detached from the rest of the pen, which seems to indicate it’s broken. This was unexpected, as I’ve always handled the phone and the pen carefully.

I'm using Samsung devices from note 9, but now when I'm S24 ultra, I can't even update my device (because it was bought in another country P.S. no one mentioned that there would be any difficulties P.S. on early models there weren't such issues) also different assistances only make life more difficult, than it is with such "unique" device. For example, I can't find my Samsung tag in "smartthings" after update, when I'm needed it the most. Also stupid Samsung keyboard is opening instead of my Gboard from time to time, so I have to open settings and change it from there 👍🏻. But the last drop was what I've mentioned above about software update issues. This phone just making my life harder rather than easier. If not the S-pen I wouldn't be even looking forward buying this phone. Worst experience ever with phones in my entire life. Even fake phones better that this.

I bought S24 Ultra a week ago and I have moisture alert problem from nowhere. It doesn't go away for 24 hours now. I've done everything possible to stop it. There is no moisture on the phone and in the port and it's never been in the water. I am highly disappointed with due point technology and this failure moister alerts coming from nowhere. I didn't expect this from samsung. Also, for a new phone it heats up too much. I am afraid it will go on fire. I have all generations of Galaxy Notes. I also have S21 ultra and S 22 which never let me down and are very strong and reliable mobile phones. They've been in sand and rain but never anything happened like this before. s24 Ultra costs a lot of money but you get very awful quality and no reliability. I give it 1 start for this moister alert failure, but 5 stars for the design and camera. Samsung must get rid of this technology.

I am a master student and this phone really changed my life to more productively and faster learning. It summarize all the websites that have alots of texts for faster reading and just circle any information on paper or board or anywhere no need to rewrite and search just take Pic and circle you will get results. As a student it helped me so much basically changed my life for better

I got Samsung s24 ultra 1TB in one word DISASTER!! This was the reson I didn't upgrade from Note 20 ultra The best Samsung galaxy phone ever! As a CON: My Samsung galaxy s24 ultra is sluggish, smaller than Note 20 Ultra, No memory card SD which I still miss , Camera disaster colour wash out, zooming still can be seen between the cameras, camera downgrade compared with s23u etc, I will come back with full details when I will get more time PRO The battery in S24U not too bad I still want more but its acceptable. Flat screen 👍 7 out of 10 for S24 Ultra And 9 out of 10 to Note 20 Ultra

Such a big disappointment with the S24 ultra- heating issues, camera zoom at 100 is awful, a real downgrade from the S23 ultra., AI features are not upto par, not a lighter phone even with the titanium frame.

I bought this phone 2 months ago. I like the feel and processing speed. However, i feel there is need to improve the resolution especially under vivid mode. I was using Samsung S22 Ultra and the screen display is awesome. There is need for an update to address this.

I am obsessed with playing games..performance, imaging and system are very good for me...but there are small drawbacks for the company but big problems for the user. For example, firstly, the phone is very heavy, especially if the phone is held from the bottom. You want 5 minutes of massage for your hand. Second: The phone has a very sharp angle, which is painful and annoying in everything, for example, playing, reading, and writing. Don't forget that it is heavy too. Third - I noticed that the phone is slow in charging the battery and I use 65 watts. It takes a full hour to complete. I had a 33w device that only lasted 45 minutes fully charged. Fourth - When I bought the Note 9 phone, I looked for the stylus, which was very precise in its disappearance. It was part of the framework. s24u. the phone. The pen appears outside the frame. It can prevent my nails from moving. The phone is kind of thick... ((I wish these problems didn't exist in the new phone *Don't lose confidence in you, Samsung)). That's it

After spending $2000+ it's doesn't support function to write NTFS format ssd.. ( transfer data from phone to ssd NTFS format).. But a $200 ZTE phone do all function without any 3rd party app.. Please support NTFS format write( data transfer) on future updates

Nice camera but so disappointed with samsung customer service, who insulted and offended me when asking for help to report faults and fraud. They choice to ingnore reduly and phone notifications still dosnt work. Worse phone issues iv ever had.

After almost 1 year I can honestly say that this phone is the worst phone I've ever owned. I got my first cell phone in 1991 and it was better than this phone. Don't waste your money. The best is can do is maybe mediocre at best.

I have had my Samsung S24 Ultra for almost a month. I upgraded from Samsung S21 Ultra. I am very disappointed in the following: - Larger and heavier causing hand issues. I have had trouble holding the phone. My hands are on the smaller side. I keep it in my back pocket and the size increase has made it not fit the back pocket of some Blue jeans. - Seems slower. - Picture quality terrible. Half the time it is not even in focus. Pictures are dull and not as sharp or bright. I take alot of pictures and I have been hesitant to even use it. I never know if the picture will come out. My S21 Ultra was sooo much better. The whole reason I bought this phone was for the camera. If you are upgrading think twice about it.
