Transcripts
I have been using Samsung S24 series for a few days
Today let’s focus on the Ultra
We’ll dive into its design, screen, imaging, and AI in four parts
First up, the design
This year's Ultra series comes in four colors
Titanium Black, Titanium Gray
Titanium Yellow, and Titanium Violet
Black remains the classic choice
The only one with a dark frame in the series
It’s my third pick
Next, the Titanium Yellow
Reminds me a bit of a starlight color
Similar to a color from a previous Samsung foldable
I highly recommend the fourth one as your go-to choice
I am really into the violet one
Especially its dark back cover
Paired with the light-colored frame and camera
The contrast just pops
It looks fantastic
The last one
is the gray one we’ve already seen
Compared to the iPhone
It's a bit more golden
For the S24 series, gray and violet are my top picks
If you're having trouble deciding
My advice: go violet for style
gray for business
The S24+ features an exclusive Marble Gray
At the Galaxy Unpacked event, it was compared to the Amber Yellow model
Between these two
gray wins my favor
Among the S24+ lineup, violet is still my top recommendation
So next
Let's talk about
The subtle design tweaks in the S24 Ultra, which are quite a few
First up, the titanium metal frame
Since the previous series already adopted a lightweight aluminum frame
S24 Ultra isn’t distinctly lighter
But definitely lighter
Also, the phone’s frame
Seems to have a sandblasted-like finish
Making it more fingerprint-resistant than the iPhone
But it doesn’t stop all fingerprints
The second change
Is saying goodbye to curved screens
Really, not even a hint of a curved screen anymore (except for a slight 2.5D glass on the edges)
The shadow effect on the edges caused by the curved screens
is gone too
With the switch to a flat screen
Comes a better horizontal grip
Improved display of content
And better mistouch prevention
All these are back
After a whole decade
Samsung's last non-curved screen flagship
Was the Galaxy S5 back in 2014
Without curved edges
Even though it's technically thinner
In terms of feel
It's pretty similar to the S23 Ultra
The third change
An ultra-narrow bottom bezel
Compared to its predecessor's bottom bezel
The S24 Ultra totally wins
In comparison with the iPhone
Both have almost the same width at the bottom
Probably among the narrowest bezels in the market now
In terms of hand feel
Since it weighs over 230 grams
Combined with the right-angle frame
When held with a hand
It does put some pressure on the hand
In this regard, the S24+ is much better
Weighing 196 grams
It's comparable to the iPhone 15 Plus in weight
When hand feel and screen enter the equation
the S24+ is a better choice
As for the S24, it's even better for single-handed use
The feel is similar to that of the iPhone 15
From my personal experience
The S24 Ultra
Feels more like a mini-tablet
While S24 and S24+
Offer a more comfortable grip as phones
For the second part of today's video
Let's move on to the screen
As for the screen
It could be captured by two words at the launch event
Not mentioned
Firstly, the anti-reflective coating (Corning Gorilla Armor)
Is truly amazing
Let’s compare it with its predecessor under light when the screen is black
Can you see this reflection?
Let’s focus on S24 Ultra again
See it?
This comparison
Guys
In the same setting
Now, from the S23 Ultra's screen
You can see my reflection
Right?
But with the S24 Ultra
Let me show you its reflection for comparison
The S24 Ultra doesn't eliminate reflections altogether
But the black becomes much purer
When the screen is on
Watching the same movie on both
You really need to experience it for yourself
If you go to a Samsung store
Just
Compare it with the S24+
Because the anti-reflective feature brought by the Corning Gorilla Armor is exclusive to the Ultra
The improvement in effect isn't something you can grasp through specs alone
Actually, adding an anti-reflective coating to phone screens
Is nothing new
Many foldable screens have coatings
But those in foldables
Often bring a bluish visual effect
Now, with the S24 Ultra
What do you think about
this screen's coating (Corning Gorilla Armor)
The coating not only brings a purer black
But also a cleaner white
In most scenarios
With the S23 Ultra, I can clearly tell
That I'm watching a glass screen
But with the S24 Ultra, it’s like I'm looking at a piece of paper
Because of this, the S24 Ultra
has become my recent favorite
for watching videos and reading e-books
The second upgrade of this screen is that
It now supports an always-on display
Let me test the brightness
The brightness is almost the same as that of the iPhone 15 Pro
But the black still appears purer
The screen doesn’t turn grayish when reflecting light
Let’s test out its power consumption
With always-on display off, it lost 4% battery
Within 9 hours standby
With always-on display on, it lost 10% battery
Within 9 hours standby
That means an extra 0.6% per hour
However, currently on Samsung models
There aren’t many applications
for the always-on display
For example, if I send a text message now
You may take a look
See?
The phone lights up to show there's a message
When the screen locks
Look
But once it goes into lock screen mode
There’s a small notification icon instead
I think Samsung could optimize this feature
in this aspect
Speaking of battery consumption
Let me also talk about this phone's
gaming performance and battery life
For playing Genshin Impact
The phone lives up to the standard for a flagship
For Honor of Kings, the phone can’t play 120fps
So no test there
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's power consumption control
Really brings a boost in battery life
When playing 1080p online videos under the same setting
The S24 Ultra used 46% in 9 hours
While the S23 Ultra used 52% in the same time
The third upgrade of the screen
Is the addition of a color temperature sensor
Meaning it supports true-color display
The screen looks cooler under a cool light
And looks warmer under a warm light
Both the always-on and true-color display features
Are available
On S24 and S24+
The S24+ has finally upgraded
Its screen resolution to
The long-awaited 2K level
Moving on to the third part of the video
Let’s talk about
The telephoto lens, a major concern for many
On this year’s models, it's changed from 10x to 5x
Many people are worried
Wondering if this means a halving in image quality
First, I’ll say it once more
More zoom doesn't always mean better
For most users
1-3x is the most commonly used range
The zoom beyond 5x
is a niche need
And above 10x, even more so
Like for concerts
or fan meetups
Let's look at photography
This time, Samsung's 5x lens
Comes with a larger aperture
Allowing more light in
And thereby improving image quality
Let’s start with samples at 10x taken in daylight
Under 10x zoom
The S23 Ultra's optical lens performs better
This is with ample lighting
Where optics can beat any algorithm
But between 5x and 10x
The S24 surpasses the S23 Ultra by a large margin
At 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, and 9x
Each focal length makes clearer pictures
So, think about
Which one do you use more in daylight: the 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9x
Or over 10x
If it's the former, go for the S24
If the latter, the S23 Ultra
And if you've never used a telephoto lens
And aren't sure how to choose
My advice would be
Either go for the S24 Ultra
Or the S24+, which will suffice
When the telephoto lenses of the iPhone and vivo are put together
They all perform similarly
vivo's algorithm leaves more traces
Resulting in fewer noise issues
Samsung and Apple have a similar approach
Not too heavy on algorithms
Accepting noise where it appears
Now, the second part
Night photography performance
Once the light dims
The S24 Ultra's large aperture and bigger sensor shine
Their advantages become clear
The 5-9x zoom is noticeably better than the previous generation
And at the much-discussed 10x zoom
The S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra perform almost the same
So, you can say
In indoor or low light conditions
The S24 Ultra from 5x to 10x
Outperforms its predecessor
Let’s compare it with iPhone's 5x telephoto
Note that on both phones
The night mode is off
My observation during testing was
Samsung's imaging is very fast
And it goes the extra mile to avoid the night mode
It’s a bit like Goku fighting Cell
In Dragon Ball
Goku could have bulked up
for more power
But he chose agility
So he stayed in his Super Saiyan form, as he always did
Faster low-light photography
Means capturing a moment quicker
That's the essence of a large aperture
For low-light video shooting
The S24 Ultra clearly outperforms the S23 Ultra in image quality
both at 5x and 10x
The quality is better
For the third part
Let's dive into AI
Which is a key focus
Of the S24 series
Regarding AI
Many of you
might be curious
About which AI capabilities are from Samsung
Right?
There's a high expectation
for Samsung's AI power
So I’ll walk you through it
Samsung’s first AI feature: Live Translate Call
If the person calling you
Is a foreigner
And you're not familiar with their language
Well
Here's what happens
Say I receive a call from a foreigner
Apart from accepting or rejecting the call
You may choose to enable
the call assistant option in the middle
Let's tap it for real-time translation
"Hello, I'd like to book a table for three
At 7 PM tonight"
"Good morning
how can I quickly get to your restaurant?"
Samsung’s second AI feature: Simultaneous Translation
Wow
AI has taken over the service that used to cost hundreds of dollars in an hour
Imagine using this when traveling abroad
For asking directions
or ordering food
You may activate this feature
By pressing the voice button
and starting to speak
You can choose face-to-face communication
Or side-by-side interaction
The face-to-face communication option
feels almost romantic in a way
"Hello, what coffees do you have?"
"We have Americano and Latte"
Samsung’s third AI feature: Auto-translation in the keyboard
For this
You need to use the Samsung keyboard
Your text can be translated into another language
while you’re typing
This is handy
For messaging or emailing foreign colleagues
Making communication more convenient
Samsung’s fourth AI feature: Voice Recorder
I'll play a video here
The challenge is
It features two different women
Let's see
if the algorithm can distinguish their voices
In the video
there are 5 or 4 people
With different accents
American and British
Including a young lady
speaking English with a Korean accent
Alright, the video has finished playing
Now, notice
There are 5 people in total
But the last person who speaks
is actually the first speaker
Click on this recording
There's a transcription option
Let's transcribe
and see its speed
Okay, transcription is done
You can see
Speaker 1
Speaker 2
Speaker 3
It successfully
distinguished the two women's voices
Then, Speaker 4
Check this out
at Speaker 1 again
is the fifth speaker
The phone identified
The fifth and the first speakers as the same person
Based on their voice and tone
And here
We can choose to translate it
All of these are Samsung's built-in local AI algorithms
Another feature is Summary
As for this
Samsung has partnered with Baidu’s Wenxin Yiyuan in China
Let's select Summary
It can quickly organize
your recent meeting recordings
or speeches
Just like this
There is a title and three paragraphs
This is a summary of the text
we just discussed
Samsung’s fifth AI feature: Photo Processing
After taking a photo
When you swipe up the photo
You'll notice
The phone automatically analyzes the photo's characteristics
And provides AI suggestions correspondingly
By my count
There are about a dozen different AI features so far
This is fun
For example, for this photo I took by the airplane window
With the sky
The feature suggests a 24-hour time-lapse capture
If you tap it, it will generate
a 12-second video with changing sunlight from a single photo
For example, in this photo
you see reflections on the window
In light of this
It suggests removing the reflections
In this photo, there is a shadow I captured
So the phone suggests removing the shadows
This shadow
In fact has not been fully erased
But it does lighten up a lot than before
I’ll show you the comparison
This is the original picture
And this is the processed one
If the focus of a photo is a person or an animal
The phone will suggest creating a blurred background
All of these are realized by algorithms developed by Samsung
During the real tests of these features
They didn’t always give a perfect result
For example, for some pictures
The AI effect works
works well on them
But sometimes it can screw things up
So I suggest everyone to try it out for themselves
And also Samsung’s Galaxy AI
Will keep learning
To improve its capability
Another part of Samsung’s AI abilities
That I find really interesting is that
You shoot a video
Just as you normally do
But when replaying it
All you need to do is to press and hold the screen
And the video
Would instantly become a slow-motion video
You can apply up to 8 times slow motion (in editing mode)
Let’s try an 8-time slow motion
And change the starting point a bit
From here
The very beginning of the video
Then let’s look at the preview
Go
What do you think
All these AI features I mentioned
Are developed by Samsung
So what are those features
That are developed together with some Chinese brands
In terms of image processing
There are mainly three
The first one is to eliminate an object by matting and then regenerate it
Like this man here
I can select him
And move it forward
Let me show you the final result (I deleted the generating process because it’s a bit slow)
Pay attention to the area where he was at
It has been replaced by image just generated
Also pay attention to the man’s new position
And see if he fits well into it (not really good for now)
The second feature
Is, by adjusting the angle of the picture
To AI produce its surroundings
The third feature is to generate pictures with AI
These three features are realized in cooperation with Meitu
You can use the first two features
without downloading Meitu
Besides
Samsung launched a new feature called “circle to search”
Which is developed by Samsung and a few Chinese companies
Including Baidu and JD
At first I thought this is just the same
as Bixby Vision
But I find something different after trying it out
The biggest difference is that
Through circling
It helps to locate the object with higher accuracy
At the same time
The image recognition ability has been enhanced
And it shows relevant information provided by Baidu Baike
I should say that
This is the purest and most ads-free
Baidu search engine I’ve ever used
Who knows that the purest Baidu
Will be provided by Samsung one day
That’s I all want to share about the real experience of S24 Ultra
The most impressive part of this phone
Is still this giant screen
A square, amazing
And pure mega screen
No matter it is watching movies
Scrolling short videos
Surfing social media
Or reading e-books
It has brought your experience to a new level
In terms of camera
All brands are now intensely competing
To offer the best picture quality on smartphones
What they are going to do next is to
optimize the continuous focal lengths
And AI is undoubtedly
A main theme of this year’s smartphone market
The S24 series is the first to really
Integrate the whole AI concept on phones
And marks the competition in this aspect in 2024
Let’s wait and see
The AI showdown in the smartphone market in 2024
Alright
That’s all for this video
I’m Vincent Zhong
I’ll see you in the next video
