four months with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, aka the best-selling Android phone in the world. Yes, that's an absolute fact. With that being said, a lot has happened in these past four months. Samsung was clever to release their S24 Series right at the beginning of the year before I got to use all the other Android flagships we have on the market, which I have used in these 4 months' time. And then the other biggest change, which was actually very unexpected, which is giving the biggest marketing feature of the S24 series to older Samsung films, which is the Galaxy Ai. And lastly, we're also going to consider some early S25 Ultra news. So, is the Galaxy S24 Ultra still worth it? Let's find out, brought to you by Best Buy. So, right off the bat, I would give Samsung a major credit on making what ended up being possibly the best-designed Ultra phone on the market. If you look at the smartphone market, there are so many phones, each having their own look, but this has to be possibly the best in my

opinion. And I'm especially saying this from the ultra perspective because of its boxy look. It's big, it's not like square-ish, definitely not as comfortable as the most rounded phones on the market, but I love this, and that's exactly what separates this phone from the rest. I will also mention that Samsung's durability has definitely gone up with the S24 Ultra. I'm actually surprised how good durability has been on this phone compared to last generation, this despite me using it without a case, dropping it from my bed a few times. Either I'm surprisingly lucky, or Samsung has truly stepped up the game. And I got the same kind of durability result when I was using the purple S24 Ultra. Now my father is using my original S24 Ultra in purple, he really loves it. But in order to give him a full Galaxy ecosystem experience, I got him the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro as Father's Day is near. Best Buy is back with the best deal of the year. You can

moving on to the display, I'm going to just say this right off the bat: this is the best display on a phone, period. And that's coming from someone who have used some competitor Android flex phones, which offer quite a lot brighter screen than the S24 Ultra. But still, S24 Ultra's display is my favorite, and the reason behind this is simple. This is a special display that can minimize 75% of the reflection, which ends up making such a good difference long term. This is such an underrated feature that even Apple wants this on their upcoming iPhone, but for some reason they weren't able to get their deal through with Corning. So, this means S24 Ultra might be the only exclusive flagship phone to have this kind of display this year. I also found that I have less eye strain when using the S24 Ultra's display compared to previous Galaxy flagships, and that's because Samsung doubled the PWM rate on the S24 Ultra to about 49 Hertz. It's still far from the best we have seen on the market from flagships like Honor Magic 6.

Pro, but it's still an improvement that I was able to spot, especially for someone who has sensitive eyes. Now, the other thing that I still find pretty top TI on this phone is battery live. I'm on the latest software update, and I'm still getting through the day with no major issues, although some people have seen a decline in battery performance with their S24 Ultra, especially on the latest update. Luckily, my unit is doing fine. Hopefully, Samsung can improve this with a future software update. My buddy Ben from Love Tech recently performed some battery drain tests on the S24 Ultra while using mobile data, and it's still ending up with a pretty good result. Now, where things have changed quite a lot is regarding software experience. First up, the software itself on the S24 Ultra is amazing. One UI genuinely is the most standing out factor when comparing the S24 Ultra to other Android flagships. And I'm not just talking about the UI and the look; I'm also talking about AI features, which I think Samsung has done the best compared

to all of these Android manufacturers some of these Galaxy AI features are genuinely useful which I still use pretty much every single day. Like chat assist removing reflections or objects from my images, write better notes, and now that I'm traveling, I'm using the translate interpreter feature on the S24 Ultra quite a bit. Because in the Normandy region of France, not a lot of people speak English. So this has definitely been a clutch feature. With that being said, Galaxy AI is now present on older Samsung flagships as well with the latest one UI 6.1 update. Samsung's biggest marketing feature for the S24 series is now present on older models. Which means you can actually save quite a bit of money by going for something like S23 Ultra and get all the latest Galaxy AI features. The hardware on the S23 Ultra is still very capable. Plus, let's not forget it has the same main camera as the S24 Ultra and a 10x proper optical zoom. Suddenly, S23 Ultra has now become a pretty good option after having

this full access to Galaxy AI features. If you're already on the S23 series, I think it's pretty obvious to skip the S24 lineup. In case you are planning to upgrade, you should definitely wait for the S25 series next year. And if you're someone who's using an older model like the S21 series and you're looking to upgrade to the S24 Ultra, just keep in mind that these Galaxy AI features are present on the S23 Ultra, and you can save money. As far as the performance is concerned, still top tier. The best thing that Samsung has done by far in the last 2 years is signing this exclusive deal with Qualcomm, making sure that we get the best chip on our Ultra model. And especially with the new software update, Samsung has really polished this phone to make the experience even smoother and more consistent than ever. Like I said, One UI is the reason why this phone stands out so much compared to the other Android manufacturers, despite them having better hardware, especially in the camera department. Samsung still holds up strong. Now, speaking of the camera, most of

these major software updates were camera-related where Samsung has consistently tried to improve the image performance, and they really have improved the camera experience for the better since the launch. Noticeable improvements to the image performance, HDR, and colors. The images just come out cooked and ready even in the most dull scenes. The images have life in them. I still don't use the 3x lens that much 'cause 5x is better, and as shown before, you get the best and most accurate portrait when using that 5x lens. As for video performance regarding how it manages colors and exposure, things have improved, and they feel more consistent than ever before. Also, I still love the fact that I can shoot a 4K 60fps video using the front camera to the back camera without stopping the video, as well as switch all the lenses, which is amazing. I can literally go from 10x, go to the front camera. Not many phones can do this, so big up Samsung shooting 4K 60fps video on this phone while switching from all the lenses is

just too powerful and too smooth to use. Like, genuinely, Samsung implemented this so well that I'm honestly surprised how well they have done. The only thing that needs improvement is when you're shooting video in absolute low-light scenarios. It still isn't quite on the level of the iPhone when it comes to handling the noise. We've got more grains when shooting in dark night scenarios. The question is, can Samsung fix this? Well, they might be able to do this because there's still rumored to keep the same camera sensor on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. So, there is hope that Samsung should be able to give more optimization to this sensor, which will of course make the experience better for the S24 Ultra users. I honestly would love to see Samsung implementing a special night video mode in order to combat this issue. And lastly, I cannot end this video without mentioning the fact that Samsung is providing 7 years of major OS updates, a promise that we haven't seen from other Android manufacturers. So, if you are looking for a solid long-term Android flagship investment, then this

could be it, but if you think you'll upgrade in a year or two, or if you're on a tight budget, then I honestly recommend you to look at the Galaxy S23 Ultra. In some of the markets, Samsung has actually relaunched the S23 Ultra and marketing it with Galaxy AI to get more sales, which means it's still a pretty good option to go for that will still give you great performance. Galaxy AI features same main camera as the S24 Ultra, as well as the 10x optical zoom, and the last flagship to have a curved display. With that being said, that's it for this video. Galaxy S24 Ultra is still going on strong. The biggest competition is right around the corner with iOS 18 plus iPhone 16 series coming with AI features as well. It's definitely going to be a big AI war. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below. Subscribe if you're new here. With that being said, I'll see you guys later. Peace out.
