Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 5G AI Smartphone with Galaxy AI (Titanium Black, 12GB, 512GB Storage), Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 200 MP Camera with ProVisual Engine and 5000mAh Battery

Booked my 12+512gb version as soon as it was launched. And after using it for more than a month, here's my review.Pros1) exceptional camera quality. The 12MP ultra-wide does it's job and I would say going for 5x optical zoom with 50MP sensor instead for 10x 10MP sensor is a better choice as upto 30x I would say the pictures are more crisp than S23 ultra.2) Build quality is premium. It feels like a high budget smartphone. Not sure if titanium armor is enough to withstand high drop possibilities, but it does make it lighter.3) Screen is a big improvement. The anti reflective Corning Gorilla glass armor does it's job and reflects most of the glare so you can sit easily and watch without worrying if the person sitting next to you is watching coz they can't. 😁3) S-pen has improved a bit. A lot of people are saying that they don't use it much after first time, but that's not the case with me. If you will get the hang of it, you will use it quite often.4) AI interface is quite excellent. Although in initial phase, it does it's job in notes and summarising big pages so that you can easily get the gist.5) 7 years OS and security update is a big big up from my side.6) The box like built rather than a curve display is a better choice. It's easier to find a screen protector.7) sanpdragan 8 gen3 is fast. You can play high end games at maximum capacity. Android 14 with one UI 6 is smooth as you can hope it would be. I haven't recorded any lags or heating issues as for now.Cons1) Anti refective display works until you put the above mention screen protector. After that it won't work with that precision. Although it still does it's job.2) Selfie camera is still not that great if you're using iPhone 14 or 15 pro.3) generative AI is not that great in calls and photo editing. Also, to pay for these services after 2025 is a big drawback from Samsung.4) Samsung is still not implementing faster charging protocols on their high and mid range smartphones. In a time when OnePlus is offering 100W charging speeds and xiomi offering 50-80W wireless charging, Samsung is still stuck with 45W and 15W wireless charging. Big drawback. However, battery do last for a full day.5) speaking of charging, no charger included is a serious letdown when you're spending more than a lac on a high end smartphone. Samsung, it doesn't feels good. 😔Overall, a good smartphone if you're thinking to go for a big one for a long time.

The media could not be loaded. A big ass phone with a stylus is just what I needed.Make sure you have big hands , cause it's definitely not a one handed phone, if you can use it , well good for you!Pictures are amazing the camera is the best feature, the smoothness of the UI, the processor is fast as flash! 45w charging is pretty fast tbh in a real day usage. Battery is really good so far. Coming to display, just a wow. Speakers are also good, connectivity is good, almost all areas I get good 5g airtel or jio network. Stylus is just a cherry on top. If you are someone like me who takes quick notes on the phone, use the stylus, makes it more stylishly stylush, ifykwim.All in all a value for money smartphone if you are really into high end phones! Worth the name Ultra! Rest is your choice. For accessories like covers or screen guards look for esr or spigen or others as well. No charger on the box so get your own, 25w is also good enough, but I recommend a Gan charger for optimised charging: ambrane is good.But one thing, fingerprint with a screenguard on, will not work as expected. I will say 6/10 times it will work, for me not a deal breaker if it is for you, then explore something else. Without a screenguard, you are risking the beautiful display but you will be able to see how good the display is actually currently the best in the market. Fingerprints read all the time and ultra fast without screenguard, as samsung fingerprint reads are different to that of say, oneplus!

Excellent product. Know upgraded with UI7.0. Just live it.

Here are few things to know for the people who are planning to buy.1. Holding it without any guard it feels and looks awesome but safety wise better use. As I dropped It in multiple occasions while travelling in train. And nothing happened.2. SCREEN GUARD: DO NOT use liquid screen guard. As it can burn the spen if not used with proper precautions. I had covered it but still my SPen was fried.3. Camera is brilliant.4. Battery is good. I can use 1 full day.5. Device heats was noticed only when the device was restarted / first time setup.

In a simple word,Display - 9.5/10 (If you want to exploit the latest anti reflection coating you must not apply Tempered glass)Battery - 8/10 (Overall Good)Processor - 9/10 (fast enough)UI - 10/10 (Too many customization)Fast Charging - 8/10Fingerprint Sensor -9/10 if no tempered glass (used for a very little span of time as attached tempered glass after a day)6/10 if tempered glass attached (most people use tempered glass)Haptics - 7/10 (Not too good, expected more)Loud Speaker - 8/10 (Quite Loud, crystal clear, good separation of frequencies)Earphone Output - 9/10 (Undoubtedly one of the best in the segment)SPen - 8/10 (Not too useful in daily life for a normal user)Galaxy AI - 7/10 (Used circle to search, Photo Edit features etc mostly)Build Quality - 8.5/10 (A perfectly weight balanced phone, premium material, matte glass back beautiful)=====Camera =====(Both photo and video)Main Lens - 8.5/10Ultra Wide Lens - 8.5/103X Zoom Lens - 7/10 (Poor Low Light performance)5X Zoom Lens - 9.5/10Flash Intentity - 7/10 (Expected more from a flagship phone)Stabilazation - 9/10SlowMo - 8.5/10Fast moving object shoot - 7/10Front Camera - 9.5/10Cons:1. At darkeness minimum brightness is too high.2. Phone gets pretty warm (38 - 42 deg Cel) while using 5G, Camera continuously.3. Camera app Unnecessarily boosts the images sometime, mostly low light photos, thus ruins the natural color and tone.4. No pro mode after 10x zoom.5. Expert RAW app is not very user friendly.6. Most annoying is the fingerprint scanner after applying the tempered glass.Overall Rating - 8.5/10
