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

Have they fixed the camera so that reds don't turn out as orange? It has been a Samsung camera issue for years.

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!

ah interesting! I Was going to ask if everyone used switch or set up from scratch

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. :D

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)!

Well, so far low light photos are not impressive.
The telephoto in particular is quite poor.
Will wait for this camera update before I give proper opinions but for now it's leaving a little to be desired.

Not everyone is buying an ultra and I personally like to hear experiences with all the devices in a series.

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!!

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.
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.
