Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra - 2 weeks later - the TRUTH!

What's better - the S24 Ultra or the iPhone 15 Pro Max? Go!

I switched from iphone 15 pro max to s23 ultra Never looked back

11:28 the spen is one of the reasons why I love samsung. I'm an digital artist and the spen has become absolutely necessary in my daily life.

Traded iPhone 15 pro max for s24 ultra and it makes iPhone look like a 6 year old phone

About that s-pen, I'm a steel draftsman, and a pen helps me a lot. I don't need to print big drawings and write on it. I can measure some steel constructions on-site and mark all the good and correct all the bad dimensions. Also, I can make small sketches if I need. So, it depends on what you will use that phone for :)

I've been using a s24 ultra for about 3 days now I upgraded from a a51 so I'm very pleased with what this phone offers

as someone who draws and likes to draw and love Ibis paint over other PC program, that pen is chef kiss

Just for the fanbois, Apple didn't do the titanium frame first - the Essential Phone PH-1 had that in 2017, Vertu did one back in 2007, and Ericsson even made one in 2000 (although that was a limited edition of only 50).

i have ordered the s24 ultra. don't have it yet. bit the S pen is NOT gimmicky if u know what to use it for. i personally usae it for work, having installed business software on the phone that i can use on the run and in front of customers. the s pen makes it so easy to navigate the software and get things done. it alone pays the price of tje phone!!

About the pen I think its subjective because as a Civil engineer who goes on sites regularly, whenever I see something I need to remember, I just take out the pen, Notes pops up automatically, I take the note, save it and thats it. Its been really helpful and now my company is thinking to buy Galaxy tabs for all crew to use on site and my manager is testing it.

Thanks for the video. I had the iPhone 15pro and I switched to the s24Ultra. It's a great phone and the screen is a little better than the IPhone 15pro. The build quality is excellent and everything that this camera is able to do, from A.I, to having a s-pen etc.. is remarkable. The iPhone is great let now kid ourselves. But I am realistic and recognize that there are other phone makers that have great products. I was a little anxious/unsure about taking a phone out of my apple ecosystem, but I soon recognized that it is so silly to think that the world is going to collapse if we do so. People will still get there test messages, video calls etc...its really liberating and eye opening to see how Apple has whether directly or indirectly, made us think that we cannot function, be productive, exiist, or get things done outside of there ecosystem. I recommend people break free and see that the grass is green (no pun intended) on the other side.

Does the iPhone Max have anything similar to the S24 Ultra vapor chamber? It sounds to me that the Samsung substantially increasing the size of this heat dissipation device from the S23 vapor chamber allows it to stay room temperature no matter what hiccup is thrown at it like some signal issue or an app winding up the internals. Whereas the iPhone doesn't seem to have this trick up its sleeve which ending up reducing battery and processing performance. Like for example when they had the ios glitch causing their first run iPhone with the titanium to overheat.

I've just swapped from the 15 pro max to the s24 ultra, I'm like you and will normally swap back....but not this year. The phone is so much better than the iPhone, that said its very iphone-ish with the new ui. Also put my Apple watch ultra in the drawer and gone for the watch6 classic, which like the phone is a game changer. Good vid Mark, think you need to get out of the walled garden more 🤣

The ecosystem on samsung is really good to so if you get a laptop, tablet, watch, and buds it is the same thing.

I have been using s24 ultra for a few days and must admit that it suprised me a lot. I was an iPhone user since iPhone 3GS and have from time to time switched to android but went back pretty soon afterwards. With s24 ultra it seems that I will not switch any time soon - it is trully a great phone for so many reasons, mainly because of the screen. I can completely understand your choice Mr. Ellis to stick with Apple EcoSystem, there is (unfortunately) nothing on android side that even comes close to Apple. Thank You very much for an honest opinion.

Do you prefer the Samsung or the Honor magic v2? I currently have iPhone 13 and definitely looking into one of these two phones but I'm really not sure which one to go for

Hi, love your commentary's, very informative but 1 thing I haven't heard anyone talking about is , when trying to record an 8k or 4k video in auto or pro the view is upside down??? I'm sure this will be fixed in an update or am I and a few friends with S24 Ultra's just not using it properly???😮

That's a nice screen protector but I always like to get the otter box defender, for double protection. It's a love and hate relationship, mostly love whenever my phone falls!

Hi Mark how did you find cell signal strength? Other reviews say it struggles for call reception. Something that is important for me as coverage is marginal where I live. Thank you

Hi, I haven't been using iPhone since 5s, switched to Samsung, but I'm curious regarding low light photos which you mentioned, more specifically, in clubs and festivals. I didn't have issue with S21 Ultra but S23 Ultra completely lightened and "burned" my photos every time lightshow or LED screen visuals light would fall on someone's / my face. As you mentioned the club, did you maybe try 15PM and S24 inside the club? I love 15PM looks, colors, and rounded courners feel better while holding the phone. I only tried it in the mobile phone stores, and you can't even get the real perception of weight due to that thingie attached which prevents stealth but still felt lighter than S23 or S24 Ultra.
