The S24 Ultra is an amazing phone
It's build quality is second to none, I had my doubts about ditching the curved screen of the previous model but as soon as I took it out of the packaging those worries were gone.
It's absolutely a positive change, making the S-Pen significantly easier to use close to the edges of the screen.
The screen itself is an absolut knockout and they weren't messing around with the anti-glare coating. When outdoors in any sunlight, reflections are a fraction of what my previous phone was. The build quality is solid, with the titanium frame finally ditching the easily scratched glossy finish of previous models.
When it comes to performance, there's nothing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 can't hande.
While day to day performance is fantastic, with the new OneUI clearly having much smoother animations, it's the demanding tasks that really show off what this can do
Gaming was no proble, maxing out even the most demanding titles, without it ever feeling overly hot.
Plug the S24 Ultra into a monitor and you have yourself a workhorse.
Emails, Excel, Word, Outlook Citrix, Web browsing, all at the same time without a single stutter. Note that this can also happen wirelessely if you have a supported Samsung TV/monitor.
Now the camera, Initialy, overexposure was an issue but I'm happy to report that after the latest software update, that's now mostly resolved.
Personally the change to a 5X lens from the 10x suits my needs a lot better due to the stunning portraits it enables you to take and the 10x quality is still excellent.
I cannot stress though how much better portraits now look with the 5x
Weakness though, is still moving subjects, while it has improved, it still lags behind some competitors
The editing tools are absolutely amazing, had a picture of my son I wanted to send to the family but the messy house was in the shot. Load up the editor, select what I wanted to erase, wait a few seconds and gone.
The AI features have been fun to play with, the circle to search has come in much more handy than I first thought. Using it when watching shows or youtube to look something I see up
The battery is an absolut champ, I cannot, try as I might kill this in a day of normal usage (not gaming). I thought last year's was good but this is even better.
All in all, in my opinion the S24 Ultra is the most versatile Android device ou can get today, especially for power users.
