I’m not 💯 sure on the titanium colour yet as under my kitchen lights it looks a bit too gold for me but it’ll be in a case anyway so not a deal breaker
Got a tip for us?

The Samsung Galaxy S24 / Ultra

I will say the iPhone’s natural Titanium does also have that muted gold color at certain angles and light.
Orange s24 Ultra delivered and all set up.
Samsung Switch seems to be 100% better then previous. Also loving how you no longer have to reset the Samsung watch to transfer it to a new phone.
So far, very happy!

Where are all the phone reviews? Everyone seems to be getting theirs and none of the main websites/youtube channels have published their reviews :/
Have they fixed the camera so that reds don't turn out as orange? It has been a Samsung camera issue for years.
ah interesting! I Was going to ask if everyone used switch or set up from scratch
Nice!
I use Switch for local backups to external storage as well. Works great for that too
So (surprisingly), I ended up ordering a regular S24...
It arrived today. I was in the office and expected it to just be rescheduled for tomorrow but as I got home from work, 5 mins later the delivery arrived.
I figured, I have a return window.
The last Samsung non flip / fold phone I tried was the S10? So it’s been a while. What intrigued me was the design and the fact that there’s a telephoto camera in here. I’d normally always choose the smaller device where possible, but these days it’s impossible when the smaller device is gimped. Well, not here, seemingly. Sure, the Plus is a little better on paper with the better screen and battery etc, but I thought I’d see how far (if at all) Samsung has come since I last dipped my toe in.
I’m currently still in set up phase. The device is nice and light and I like the sqaured off edges. It does feel a bit sharp at the front, so it’s not hugely comfortable vs an iPhone but it‘s not a deal breaker. It’s also really light which isn’t a bad thing, but being used to heavier devices it’s a little jarring. I really love the design.
I already don‘t think I can look past Samsung‘s UI. I just don’t think it looks very nice. I’m not going to keep stock though, and see if I get used to it. Looking forward to seeing how the camera stacks up and also having Dolby Atmos on an Android device but will see if I end up keeping it. I’d be v surprised if so, but I wanted to at least have an informed opinion and as I say, I do favour a smaller device and this is a really nice size.
Will post my thoughts after a bit more use. Also keen to do some camera samples Vs the Pixel / iPhone, but conscious it may not be worth it as most of you here are all in on the Ultra (understandably)!

First two pics
5x and 10x
can you remove the shot on galaxy watermark ? i saw the same with review units
It's off by default you have to turn it on in settings.
I am, can always switch back to 16PM in few month time haha
I’m seriously considering upgrading from my 14PM to the S24. Pretty sure I want the smaller screen this time, the bigger phone is just a bit too unwieldy
That sounds like me hahaha, come September if i'm not happy with my S24 Ultra I'll jump back to iPhone especially since I stuck with the 14 Pro Max 😂
What color is that, with the black borders dark frame on the rear?
Fold be nearby
Very nice order mine today probably won't get it for a few weeks
Got the orange 24 Ultra in 512GB directly from Samsung unlocked. They have shipped it early and delivery showing for Friday here in the USA.
Not everyone is buying an ultra and I personally like to hear experiences with all the devices in a series.So (surprisingly), I ended up ordering a regular S24...

In fact, I think the best judge of a product is how good the least expensive model is not the most expensive. With a higher budget it is easier to make a good device than with a lower budget.
I am really curious about the plus this year. The regular s24 doesn't appeal to me simply because I like big screens but I still think it is an awesome phone for the cost. The plus now has the extra ram and extra resolution at quad hd from full HD last year.
I also like the regular s24/+ colors better than the Ultra. But we will see. Please post your review/experience with the s24!!
Awesome news!
It looks like a pretty cool color. It would be great to see a couple real life photos of it if you get a chance! Also let us know how the delivery goes.
