Transcripts
so you've already got last year's Galaxy
s23 Ultra stashed in your pants or bag
or wherever you shove the thing but
because your proper flush you're
seriously considering an upgrade to this
year's s24 Ultra but is the fresh
Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra actually worth
the
1,249 pund Askin price will you actually
notice any real difference in the camera
Tech the gaming experience all those
bits that really matter well I've had
the Galaxy s24 Ultra for a good few days
now so here's what I think of it so far
and how it Stacks up against last year's
Almighty Flagship and for more on the
latest and greatest Tech please do poke
subscribe and ding that notifications
Bell cheers now first up if you slap the
Galaxy s23 Ultra side by side with the
fresh new s24 Ultra I'd imagine most
people would really struggle to tell the
difference between them CU Sami lat
blore more or less identical dimensions
and only a few little subtle design
tweaks one of the most obvious
differences is now the display on the S
24 Ultra is completely flat whereas
there was a never saw slight curvature
here on the s23 ultra those edges did
slop a we we bit and the main difference
I've noticed is that in apps like diesa
where there's a scrolly baring on the
right hand side nice and easy to use now
on the s24 ultra whereas it was always a
bit of a bck on the s23 ultra sometimes
took multiple attempts to actually grab
the thing but thankfully no added girth
here on the s24 ultra as a result still
got gently sloped edges which are quite
comfortable to clutch but unfortunately
the Sim sharp Corners proper Palm pokers
they are really jut into your hand when
you are using them with just the one M
s24 Ultra has slightly skinnier bezels
down below as well but it's it's pretty
subtle and Samsung has also changed up
the frame for the ultra model so no
longer do you have the shiny glossy
aluminium frame of last year's s23 Ultra
the s24 ultra now supports a matte
titanium frame this doesn't get as
smudgy and greasy as the older model
thankfully resists those fingerprints
and other Grime and titanium is also
supposed to be more durable than the old
armor aluminium although to be fair that
s23 Ultra is frame still looking in
pretty good niit considering I've been
banging it about for the best part of a
year and the newer phone also
technically a wee bit lighter thanks to
that titanium frame although it's still
a bit of a heer at 230 G so in a blind
test where I pick them both up and I try
and work out which is which based on
just the weight I'm honestly guessing
every time as for the ass end well apart
from the fresh new color options there's
bugger all difference between the s23
ultra and s24 Ultra you got the exact
same slightly juton camera lenses which
means that when these phones are sat on
a desk or table they do rattle about the
place as for the general hardiness well
they're both ip68 water and dust
resistant so you can drop them in a sink
or a bath or whatever they'll be
absolutely fine just give them a quick
towel and off and that front display has
been up upgraded as well from Gorilla
Glass victus 2 here on the s23 ultra to
the fresh new gorilla glass armor here
on the s24 ultra apparently this is less
susceptible to scratching than the old
victus 2 which is good news because the
s23 ultra is coed in tiny we Nick could
be a lot worse again cuz I've absolutely
punished this thing the last few months
but still but the major difference I've
noticed so far between the two is that
gorilla glass armor is a lot less
reflective as you can see there despite
having the same mass mive Spotlight
beamed right onto it you can barely even
see it here on the s24 ultra so between
that and the fact that it's a brighter
display it's much much easier to see
what is going on on the s24 ultra if
you're using the outdoors and the sun
shining so here in the UK that will come
in handy in about 6 months time and
hidden away beneath each of these
Almighty screens is the same ultrasonic
fingerprint sensor just as responsive
and reliable as always and that's also
backed up by a good bit of face and lock
action as far as the soft software goes
well it's the fresh new oneui 6.1
launcher here on the s24 ultra of course
that should be getting beamed to the s23
ultra imminently if you haven't had that
already so why the software experience
should be identical on these pricey
blows including the usual plethora of
Samsung's apps and services personally I
find it kind of irritating that you got
two web browsers two calendars two
wallets two sodn assistants of course
because oh yes Bigsby is back Bigsby and
yes the s24 ultra is packed to the tits
with various AI features which you may
have heard Samsung bang on about a bit
but don't think you'll be missing out
with the s23 ultra because those
features are coming across to the older
phone in an upgrade and yeah you got the
exact same S Pen related shenanigans on
the s24 ultra and the s23 ultra the
stylus itself hasn't changed up at all
same dimensions weight Etc I'll have the
exact same features and functionality
once they're both on the same version of
one UI however one major difference
between this pricey pair is the level of
software support that Samsung has
offered cuz they've committed to seven
full years of oos updates and security
patching here for the fresh new Galaxy
s24 Ultra whereas with the older s23
Ultra it's just four more years of
security and OS updates of course the
way that everything's going right now I
wouldn't be surprised if by 2030 we're
all living in underground caves licking
the walls for sustenance but maybe
that's just me oh and it's the same
storage situation on the s23 and s24
Ultra 256 gigs of storage space as base
you can boost that to 512 gigs or An
Almighty terabyte if you've got a bit
more cash to stuff inside of Samsung's
metaphorical g string so let's have a
bit of a shuy at the display Tech and
we're talking yet another massive 6.8 in
AMOLED panel slapped here on the s204
ultra same as last year it's once again
a 1440p screen so we're talking ping
sharp eye candy despite the fact it is a
spacious display and Dolby Vision
support once again missing in action but
you do have full hdr10 streaming support
instead and on the default display
settings you can certainly expect Vivid
vibrant visuals but you can calm down
those colors a bit if you'd prefer and
according to Samsung the Galaxy s24
ultra's display is even brighter now
although to be fair the s23 ultra was
already brighter than the bloody Sun I
can't really see any actual improvement
with my admittedly wrecked eyeballs but
the s24 ultra's anti-reflective Finish
does certainly improve that visibility
and of course we're talking ltp Tech
here with a refresh rate skill and all
the way up from 1 to 120 HZ depending on
what you're up to and no change either
for the dinky selfie cam sphincter it
barely intrudes at all when you go full
screen even though it is centrally
positioned and naturally yes the s24
ultra once again has a big beefy stereo
speaker setup same as the s23 ultra
let's just test them side by side so you
can see the results so first the s23
Ultra 24hour review with his absolute
monolith and I'll slap my Sim in there
for an in-depth review next week and now
the s24 ultra apologies about the
temporary Studio setup by the way I'm
actually still in San Jose it's only
about an hour since unpacked finished
LED it right here from the conference
center bloody knacked I am so yeah as
before prop bloody loud but the clarity
is still decent on that top volume I
honestly can't notice the difference
between the two when I pump them all the
way up and if you jump on into those
audio settings you'll see there's buger
all difference you've once again got
that Dolby Atmos support including Dolby
Atmos for gaming and you do have an
equalizer if you want to Tinker around
with the audio output yourself now on
the performance side of things pretty
straightforward upgrade for the s24
ultra which is powered by qu Cobb's
latest freshest beefiest Snapdragon 8
gen 3 compared with the older 8 Gen 2
which is stuffed inside of the s23 ultra
and if you're a fan of the benchmarks
well as you can see there 8 gen 3 big
step up in terms of the multicore
processing so should theoretically be
better for those more complex tasks or
simply running lots of apps at the same
time I got to say though the overall
experience on the older s23 Ultra is
still perfectly fluid so no real
noticeable difference in the everyday
experience between the s23 and the s24
and certainly so far on the few days
gaming with the Galaxy s24 Ultra I
haven't noticed any real step up there
either the likes of genjin impact for
instance can still run on the highest
graphic settings with generally a stable
frame rate although there is the
occasional Wii juder here and there
which I was not expecting it's probably
not helped Along by the fact that the
s24 ultra does get rather toasty under a
lot of pressure so when you've been
gaming even for just 15 to 20 minutes it
does get quite warm to the touch and
that is despite Samsung saying they
bunged an even larger Vapor chamber in
the s24 ultra and if you have a squint
in the lab section of game booster
settings there is an alternate game
Performance Management option in here
which I've tried turning on and it
doesn't really seem to make any
difference but you know I've still
really enjoyed genjin impacting here on
the s24 ultra despite these minor blips
in the frame rate and you know could
just be early Jitters cuz I've only been
testing out the s24 ultra for just under
a week now I will continue to test the
gamean ahead of my index review
hopefully give you an update for that
yeah and as for the actual gaming mode
as well well that hasn't really improved
at all unfortunately for the latest
version of oneui still pretty basic
stuff compared with a lot of Rivals and
of course one of the absolute highlights
of the old s23 Ultra was the astounding
battery life the thing was like Michael
pissing Meers it just would not die and
good news is s24 ultra does not
disappoint on that front you got the
same capacity battery 5,000 mahs and
even with extensive play on these things
you won't kill them dead in a single day
unless you really really try very bloody
hard I'm talking hours and hours of
screen on time even with plenty of
camera action good bit of game and all
that good stuff I did a proper side by
side battery test as well just streaming
video nonstop on these things from a
100% charge the Galaxy s23 Ultra did die
slightly earlier than the s24 ultra but
both survived for over 16 hours so good
news if you go on a lot of long whole
flights sadly however Samsung hasn't
bothered to improve the charging speeds
at all so they both top off at 45 W wide
charging or 15 wat wireless charging if
you're charging them wirelessly you'll
definitely want to do that overnight cuz
it takes bloody hours now last year's
s23 Ultra introduced a fresh new 200 Meg
adaptive pixel hp2 camera and Samsung
has decided to stick with that 200 Meg
sensor on this year's model Now by
default both the s23 ultra and the s24 4
ultra Ed 16 in1 pixel bidding capturing
12 megapixel images though you can boost
this resolution to 50 meg or the full
200 Meg if you so desire likewise you've
got Samsung's scene Optimizer slapped on
both of these smartphones although I
prefer to leave this knocked off cuz it
does tend to artificially boost colors
and make things look a bit less natural
than they actually do in real life I've
certainly found that the s24 ultra is
more capable overall compared with the
s23 ultra less saturation in those test
shots when the almighty blowers are
confronted with strong contrast you get
sharper results in those lighter areas
though the tradeoff is that the darker
areas lose some of the finer detail you
will see in the s23 ultra picks but
certainly more natural looking images
with the s24 ultra and there's a clear
Improvement in the evenings at least
quite a lot of the time the s24 ultra
once again captures more realistic
images with sharper detail compared with
the older Flagship you've got less noise
to contend with making things murkier
when the lighting is CAC and tones and
textures are more accurately captured
although in some of my sample shots the
differences aren't quite as obvious and
the s23 ultra performs almost as
strongly you do still get some noise and
softer results when you're shooting in
ambient indoor lighting but the s24
ultra is on the whole a Dependable
shooter and seems to be a gentle Step Up
in most areas for everyday shots and as
for the portrait mode as you can see
you've now got more zoom options here on
the s24 Ultra one times two times three
times or five times if you want to get
nice and close to your subject whereas
you're stuck with one times or three
times here on the older s23 Ultra and
for some reason the food mode seems to
sh its pans every time here on the
Galaxy s24 Ultra so you get much better
results with the older Flagship
hopefully that's just some weird early
bug not really sure what's going on
there now with the old Galaxy s23 Ultra
you got a pair of telephoto Shooters
both 10 megapixels one one working at
three times optical zoom one offering 10
times optical zoom the s24 ultra swaps
out that 10 times zoom lens for a 50
megap shooter this time with a reduced
five times optical zoom and this does
offer a clear Improvement in image
Clarity when you're zooming between the
five and 10 times levels compared with
the older Ultra while the focus can now
cope with closer subjects if you want to
pick up those finer details at the 10
times zoom level and Beyond the old s23
Ultra does often come out on top
offering slightly stronger Clarity
although in most of my test shots
there's really not a huge amount in it
and both of these phones can zoom right
into the 100 times zoom level which
frankly is more than you should ever
need and things do unsurprisingly start
to get a bit fuzzy when you are hitting
those kinds of levels and again the
telephoto results are a step up on the
Galaxy s24 Ultra in lower light
conditions you've generally got less
noise the details are a wee bit sharper
and colors are closer to what you'll see
with the naked eye results with the 12
megapixel Ultra wide angle Shooters
slapped on both the s23 ultra and s24
Ultra absolutely fine not quite as
capable in Darker conditions however
especially if there's any kind of motion
and if you're happen to catch my s24
ultra unboxing video you'll know that
there's lots of really clever ass AI
photo editing tools to P about with
spruce up your pcks make them look even
more gorgeous the good news is those are
all CED to the s23 ultra as well so
you're not missing out and if you want
to shoot some home movies well the good
news is you can capture footage all the
way up to 8K resolution once again at 30
frames per second otherwise if you bump
it down to Ultra HD you got a choice of
30 or 60 frames per second and we once
again talking cracking picture quality
here on the s24 ultra that stabilization
is again tastly smooth even when you're
wandering about all over the place
panning the camera like the previous
generation you could smoothly zoom in
and out while filming without a jarn
transition between the lenses though as
usual that Ultra wide angle shooter
isn't as capable for video capture he
got a little bit less noise at night
when you're zooming in with those
telephoto Shooters although it's not
usually much of a difference both of
these Samsung blowers do a solid job in
the evenings and on the audio side of
things the s24 ultra is once again a
start just like that s23 ultra wind
interference is dampened down so you can
clearly pick up vocals when you're
shooting Outdoors so even a blust Boat
Trip in San Francisco was handled deafly
by this Mighty Flagship and last of both
of these Samsung Ultras serve up the
same 12 megapixel selfie camera so no
real difference between the two you got
the same craggy faed miserable git with
both and there you have it my lovelies
that in a TT wi nutshell is how the
fresh new Galaxy s24 Ultra Stacks up
against the older but still pretty
bloody expensive s23 Ultra I'm
definitely loving the s24 ultra so far
five days in I'm going to be using it as
my full-time phone for at least another
week or so before I deliver my in-depth
review however cuz I feel like the
gaming performance isn't quite there
just yet hopefully it'll settle down and
that will improve over time but so far
everything else is excellent the cameras
certainly an improvement over the
previous year battery life is once again
excellent the media chops are topnotch
loving the anti-reflective display as
well but if you've already got the older
s23 Ultra I would certainly say an
upgrade to the s24 ultra not exactly
essential especially given the kind of
money that we're talking here as
obviously you wipe your ass with 50
notes in which case yeah go for it I
mean I've never actually even seen A50
not anyhow that's what I reckon but what
do you guys think of the s24 ultra and
if you've got the s23 ultra are you
tempted to upgrade maybe you've already
got your pre-order in be great to your
thoughts down in the comments below
please do plug subscribe ding that
notifications bell all the usual YouTube
Guff and have yourselves a bloody
wonderful rest of the week cheers
everyone love
[Music]
