Galaxy S24 Ultra

I managed to purge myself of Apple as of a couple of years back by getting an s24 ultra. Main things that stand out over apple: - Much higher resolution camera w/ pretty incredible zoom. Though overall picture quality is a far closer comparison. [...] I use my phone as my laptop daily, I've also used it as a dumb terminal for remote gaming while travelling which works exceptionally well - Access to alternative browsers, ad blocking, alternate stores, side loading apps etc While Google is no angel Apple actively works against open systems and control of your own devices, I'm glad to be out of that ecosystem.

I have never purchased a new flagship phone in my life except for the s24 ultra. What sold me was Jerry rig everything's video showing it scratching at a level 7, with deeper grooves at a level 8; and I can attest I've been rocking this phone with no screen protector for a year and don't have a single scratch on it. [...]

One reason I got the Samsung S24 Ultra a couple of years ago is to run a full Linux desktop environment (via Termux), something you really can do. [...] Mostly because I banked on Nexdock, but it's trackpad is impossible. [...]

I often use a Bluetooth keyboard with Termux. But as a mechanical keyboard affectionate with a veritable museum of ergonomic and mechanical keyboards, the Samsung S-Pen is good enough for terminal work. [...] If I'm at a desk I still use a Bluetooth keyboard, but if I'm out then the S-Pen is a fine enough substitute. Right now I'm on an S24 Ultra, before that a Note 10 Lite, and before that another Note 10 Lite.

Phones are wireless, which is too slow to test anything. [...] I got a new shiny Wifi 7 router(TPlink BE550) and my Samsung S24 Ultra can sustain 2.2Gbps over wifi, both to and from the router. [...]

I own a Samsung S24 Ultra, by choice. [...] I got my first smartphone years and years ago, and it was an android. [...]

I also write code using my phone when I'm on a bus or the subway. [...] My environment consists of: - Galaxy S24 Ultra - Termius: I think it is the best terminal emulator and SSH client on Android. The sad thing is that the paid version is a bit too expensive. [...] - Vim: Allows me to navigate the code freely without using arrow keys, which is really useful on the touch keyboard. [...] Edit: The biggest pain point for me was the limited width of the smartphone screen. [...] Keeping landscape mode is not an option because the code area is completely hidden when the touch keyboard is displayed. That's why foldable phones are great for coding, as they have a wider screen. [...]

[...] I bought a Samsung S24 a week ago off Facebook Marketplace. [...] The camera is nowhere near the S24 and does not have the features. It heats up after charging and does not keep charge. It runs slower than a 10 year Android once you are signed it. when you run diagnostics, it shows all the specs of an S24 Ultra. [...] I went and got another S24 Ultra from the store and they are worlds apart. [...]

I still love my Titanium Black S24 Ultra (512 GB) and I will keep this forever due to iconic Samsung boxy design, more premium looking than S25 Ultra, the bluetooth S-Pen (camera shutter was amazing), the amazing camera lens and more. Probably the best 2024 smartphone that Samsung had ever made, not perfect but beautiful crafted phone. The real and last ULTRA Samsung phone, was also peaked ULTRA phone.

Just bought my brandnew spanking December 2025 production date S24 Ultra and the best decision I've ever made, 7yrs of OS update, boxy note design, Bluetooth S-Pen and how beautiful it is. S25 Ultra looks cheap,no comparison, came from S23 Ultra, never looked back

I just got a new Samsung S24 Ultra and can say unequivocally that it is the best phone in the world. Having 2 speakers and listening to music from YouTube, the stereo playback and recording are mindboggling. You hear clear separation of left and right and get a surround sound effect. I can even hear bass. They gave me $1,000 trade in value on my 7 year old Samsung Note 8 phone that had a cracked glass and case, so the phone only cost $299 instead of $1,299 ; of course you pay taxes and I paid a set up fee where it took an hour to transfer all my data from my old phone to the new. I also paid $65 for a case that is rubbery like so if I drop my phone, which I do a lot, it won't break. [...] The volume is easy to work with an up volume button and a down volume button. The camera looks awesome with so many features. [...]

when i first got it i was surprised by the build quality, it felt premium, a really well made product. its been weeks now and everytime i look at the s24 ultra, i notice the equally thin bezels, the beautiful display with the rectangular shape and how solid it feels. this is my first high end phone so im truly amazed at the build quality, thoroughly impressed by it. really glad i got this on a good deal too, performance has been great, handles gaming and stuff really well. [...]

I own the s24 Ultra and the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Both have great screens. But the one thing I haven't heard mentioned by any reviewer is that, while the Pixel's screen is stunning at or just below max brightness, the quality goes way down from there, getting a bit flat and lifeless under about 80% brightness imo. The Ultra doesn't have this issue - I can use it at 50% brightness or even lower and the colors still pop and content looks gorgeous. This matters to me from both an eye comfort and battery perspective, and is one of the main reasons I find myself coming back to the Galaxy more often than not.

Battery life has gone down. When you consider that the battery capacity has gone up, you realise how much more power-hungry the S24 Ultra is. I bought a Samsung S7 tablet, and first thing I did (as I always do on all my Androids) is to enable USB Debugging and adb install NoRootFirewall.apk. There were so many apps that wanted to 'phone home', and the battery would drain after 24-36h with almost no use. After I uninstalled or disabled 'a lot' of its apps/bloatware, the battery is performing significantly better. When idling (lid closed, in my bookcase) the battery lasts for weeks. When reading, the battery lasts for days (I'm reading indoors so I use ReadEra and I keep the Brightness at 20-30%). So I don't blame the battery, I blame the bloatware.

Upgraded my phone after several years - felt it was justified given I use it 90% for work/content creation. Picked up a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and was convinced I would never use the "S Pen" (a glorified stylus). [...]

Me too. Watching from my S24 Ultra 512GB Phantom black. Just upgraded last year from S23 Plus.

Almost 2 years with my S24 too 💪🏻 Believe it or not this thing is shockingly durable

Watching on my s 24 ultra it,s been amazing since the day i bought it( last summer)

Been using it for some months now. All I can say is "It feels like jwellery"

[...] I have an S24 ultra and I had an even bigger Sony xperia a while back. [...]

User error? I also have 2nd gen Airpod Pros and they work fine with my S24 Ultra. The only thing that doesn't work is automatic connecting, which is actually a feature I'd like to turn off.

Yeah I had it for 2 months now and I haven't had a single day finished with less than 50%. My S24 Ultra I usually had to charge around 3-4pm or it would be going into power saving mode by 8-9pm

Seems like =2026 will be the year I'll start buying stuff again that has been replaced by mobile phones during all the years (Camera, Mp3Player, etc.) With this coming, buying a flagship mobile phone simply doesn't worth for me anymore. Currently i own a S24Ultra, my next mobile phone will probably be the cheapest Chinese crap I can get, just for the mobile things i "have" to use it.

[...] There are several models you can run fully offline on your phone (phi-3, Gemma-3n-E2b-it, Qwen2.5-1.5b-instruct all run quite well on my Samsung S24 ultra). [...]

My Samsung s24 ultra chugs at like 10fps or lower when scrolling on this site. Needless to say I won't be taking recommendations from the author, if I can't use their website smoothly on one of the most Powerful phones on the market.

I use an S24 Ultra. Best camera I have ever had and also 7 years of software updates.

I love 6600 as much as the next guy, but have you seen the zoom on the s24 ultra camera?

[...] I have the latest S24 Ultra. I have VPN and self hosted services (and signal etc) but the rest is just... [...]

[...] The S23/S24 ultra are phones which are as good as the iPhone. [...]

I don't know what your setup is, but it did work for me, creating an app that shows as its own icon on the homescreen, without FF chrome, with a separate app-switcher entry. Using a S24 Ultra with whatever the current OneUI is.

It's 100% for pushing the Samsung phones, the whole galaxy unpacked event theme was "Galaxy AI." Everyone I know has gone from upgrading every 1 or 2 years to 4+ years, including myself. Phones are much more expensive and iterations are fairly minimal, but over a 4+ year span it's pretty significant. I'm going from an S20 Ultra to S24 Ultra this year and excited for the better display, cooling, cameras, and having a stylus I can use for small pixel arty stuff without lugging my massive ipad around.

Got a couple photos despite the light pollution. Literally just from my phone and my front porch 😅 Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, night mode, 45-70% zoom. I own nothing fancy 🤣 lunareclipse moon photography

I have a Dwarf 3 and a Seestar S50. Both smart telescopes. Sometimes it's just my phone (Galaxy S24 Ultra) and rarely I'll drag out the big Orion 120mm refractor The Dwarf 3 is the easiest for moon shots and fairly good detail I usually note what I used to take the picture in the alt txt

I got a new phone. [...] Going from a Galaxy S10 to a Galaxy S24 Ultra.

I think we need to post our wins because shit is bleak. I finally got a new phone that I've wanted for nearly two years (Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra) for less than half of retail because I bought it refurbished and it has minor wear on the edges. This might sound like a silly win but I'm stoked.

I just got the s24 ultra yesterday. And it's a marvelous phone to use

Been using a renewed Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for about a week now. [...] Now I know for half the price ✨

I love my S24 Ultra! I will be keeping my S24 Ultra for 7 years unless Samsung manages to come up with a design that is more aesthetically pleasing than this. [...]

I have the S24 Ultra in titanium gray 1TB, and I love it. I probably won't upgrade my phone until the S27 Ultra or S28 Ultra.

I just picked one up 2 weeks ago and I love it. Got the orange one.

Mine is currently in the back burner while I'm trying an iphone 17. But the S24 Ultra is the best phone I've ever had.

So cant samsung build a bigger battery for when us tge s24 users want to upgrade their battery? I think samsung should have kept this design for the ultra series they messed up big time on that

Picked up my daughter to take her to work, and I had to get out of the van to appreciate the beauty! Taken with my phone. Galaxy S24 Ultra witchsky pagansky occultsky witchmadness photosky photography spring

My Samsung Galaxy S24-Ultra has an amazing camera. I use it a lot on hikes. [...]

I can't edit my camera photos until I get to my laptop, but my phone didn't do too bad a job with this scene. Lapland photography S24Ultra

I use the the s-pen for signing documents and filling applications. So helpful.

S23 Ultra 512 GB ROM in the house. I intend to use this phone until the S27 Ultra comes out. I still have my 4 year old Note 10 Plus.

I have an S23 Ultra, and it's the first phone I've had in a while that I just love. It can do so much, and it's incredibly good at everything it does, that just sums the whole thing up.

Here in the USA everyone values iphones so much. I recently got my s24+ for $600. The s24 ultra was like at $750.

I can only speak from my perspective. The S24U is by far the best smart phone I have ever owned. It is a keeper for the nexy two to three years for sure.
