Trying the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra....

Since I manage to break the backscreen of my iPhone 13 Pro, I was grateful for the chance to use the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for a couple of weeks.. while I got the other mobile device off to be repaired/ replaced….. this smart phone is definitely an impressive device to handle but with a Titanium frame, it doesn’t quite strain my hand especially since I use my phone for work a lot

I like that, the phone design is not slippery, and it does not leave too many fingerprints around like some of the glass phones…. 

The S-Pen, speaker grille, Type-C port and SIM tray are placed together at the bottom. The right side has power and volume keys. The weight distribution is pretty well balanced at the weight of 239 grams…

This screen of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra seems brighter than before and well, being a flagship phone, the performance of this phone is of course nothing short of impressive…. 

The Dynamic AMOLED panel produces vivid, accurate colours in both standard and Vivid modes. It also gets incredibly bright, hitting a peak of 2,600 nits in direct sunlig

It  makes it easy to view the screen even on a sunny day outdoors. And when you turn down the level of brightness, it maintains great colour and visibility so you can use it discreetly in very dim light.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with several innovative AI-powered features that aim to enhance the phone’s capabilities and user experience.  This includes Live Translation for real-time translation during calls, Interpreter mode for face-to-face text transcription between two languages, Circle to Search to easily initiate searches by circling objects, Chat Assist to refine the tone of written messages, Generative Edit to seamlessly remove objects from photos, and Note Assist to generate summaries and translations of notes and more. 

With this robust set of AI tools spanning across areas like visuals, language, communication and productivity, the S24 Ultra clearly establishes itself as one of the most advanced AI-driven smartphones yet.

I like that Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra phone switches easily between open programs, or even when I am scrolling web pages and my social media feeds, and that would be because sometimes I like to be playing my Monopoly Go or Pokemon Go to relieve stress while doing my blogging or photo editing etc

The Galaxy S24 series comes with One UI 6.1 based on Android 14 out of the box, promising seven years of software and OS support from Samsung

As a content creator, depending on my smartphone , I need a smartphone with a good camera… naturally, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra does not disappear and comes with a quad camera system, headlined by a high-resolution 200MP wide sensor for capturing intricate details and bright, vivid images. 

It includes a 12MP ultra-wide lens with a 120-degree field of view suited landscapes and buildings or design photography. 

The phone also comes with a 5x optical zoom telephoto camera with a 50MP sensor, replacing the S23 Ultra’s 10x periscope lens. This 5x telephoto range proves more versatile for everyday shooting scenarios. Rounding out the rear setup is a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

When in use, the S24 Ultra seriously impresses me with its optical zoom capabilities up to 10x magnification, beyond which digital zoom leads to some pixellation. It’s low light photo capability is pretty impressive too as it can actually minimize noise in nightscapes and preserve highlights. 

I used it when I was with my dear friend Mary Jane at the Petroleum Club and manage to take some impressive photos

And I am pretty much excited by the Samsung S24 Ultra’s AI-enhanced editing such as object removal and background changes if need be….

For selfie fans, the Galaxy S24 Ultra sports the same 12MP selfie camera carried over from the S23 Ultra. It does captures good details and accurate skin tones in bright outdoor lighting. At night too, the camera shines as the selfies captured maintain the detailing and the crisp essence

And oh…my favorite part of the phone… this baby packs a 5,000mAh battery and the battery can get me through a full day of heavy use!!!!! But if you are a more conservative user, I am pretty sure the S24 Ultra can even last up to 1.5-2 days on a single charge….

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is pretty impressive and I love it and wish I can keep it… but well, I am not quite able to afford this yet but one more thing i have to say is that I am also happy  the phone doesn’t  heat up like the previous Galaxy models I owned before… thanks to a larger vapor chamber that Samsung has equipped internally… 

For those who want a smart looking working phone with amazing AI features and camera, should give this a shot…..
