Volltreffer: Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Review (Deutsch) | SwagTab

Summary

The video reviews the new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone. It has a titanium frame, flatter display, and new zoom camera, but most changes are small improvements. The highlight is Samsung's 'Galaxy AI' for live translating, text summarizing, and editing photos/videos. Some AI functions work impressively well and are very useful, but others still need improvement. Overall the S24 Ultra has an excellent total package with top-notch performance and great cameras, but the AI functions likely won't be key buying criteria for most people, at least not for a few years until the technology matures more.
