It's sort of become a meme to joke that all smartphones are the same now. Every year new models are released and every year they are improved by about 1%. Savvy buyers are buying the old flagship and holding on to it longer than before.<\/p>\n
It's true, the smartphone industry has stagnated: in the early 2010s, each new model represented a huge step forward in one form or another. QHD displays became a thing, then not a thing. Samsung's S Pen was terrible, but then became great. LG introduced a module system for its smartphones, then abandoned it a year later. Screens grew in size, stereo speakers were added, then removed, then added again. All that until we get to today's formula: a chocobar phone, an all-screen front, a punch-hole selfie camera<\/a>, stereo speakers through an earpiece, and a bottom driver.<\/p>\n And then it started. And then it happened at the office. And now I use it. Why is it SO<\/span> GOOD?<\/p>\n OK, so yes, it looks like before. And I'm not very convinced by the AI \u200b\u200bfeatures so far, although I'm trying to incorporate them into my routine and see what comes of it.<\/p>\n So, I wanted to do an experiment. I asked the PhoneArena team:<\/p>\n It's absolutely fantastic \u2013 and you've probably seen critics and YouTubers praising it on every media outlet. There is a good reason for this. You see, Galaxy AMOLED panels are already very bright, punchy and colorful. There's not much more Samsung can do on the back end of the hardware. The new Corning Gorilla Armor anti-glare is excellent, as it significantly reduces screen glare. This allows the vibrant AMOLED to appear more clearly than before and it really looks stunning, even under direct sunlight.<\/p>\n Does that make it the one phone to rule them all? No…no, that's not the case. But it truly offers a premium experience to the user who paid a premium price for this phone. It is A<\/span> That's part of what makes the S24 Ultra a good upgrade. And we appreciate it.<\/p>\n Another year, another small camera improvement. Where is it?<\/p>\n But then there was another ace up the sleeve: a bit of tuning, which we didn't expect, but certainly appreciated. THE Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span>Camera post-processing has been disabled…?<\/p>\n This means colors<\/a> are no longer bright and saturated, sharpness is sort of reigned in (but let's be real, over-sharpening is the current meta in the smartphone world) and dynamics are just so good. In fact, the Galaxy S24 Ultra<\/span> currently holds the highest score in our all-new, carefully designed camera benchmark, which puts all smartphone cameras through a series<\/a> of controlled tests, to measure their distinct capabilities.<\/p>\n Well done, Samsung. Another stone in the basket of improvements!<\/p>\n OK, many people welcome the return of the flat screen. To be honest, I'm neither here nor there on this particular point – I personally liked the Samsung Edge screens (spoken by someone who used the original Galaxy Note Edge for a good 3 years). But hey, at least putting a screen protector on it would be easier (spoiler: I didn't put one, because I'm afraid it would add the glare that Gorilla Armor so skillfully removes).<\/p>\nThe Galaxy S24 Ultra is a real upgrade<\/h2>\n
