КУПИЛ СЕРЫЙ Samsung S24 Ultra - ЭТО ДВА ШАГА НАЗАД!

Summary

An unboxing and initial review of the new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone purchased from the gray market. Key points discussed include the controversial flat display instead of curved edges, nearly identical design to the S23 making old cases incompatible, disappointing downgrade to 5x optical zoom camera versus 10x on S23 Ultra, and artificial intelligence features that may become paid subscription after a year. Overall a respectable but not exciting incrementally improved successor yet costing significantly more than the discounted S23 Ultra.
