Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, AI Android Smartphone, 12GB RAM, 256GB Storage, 200MP Camera, S Pen, Long Battery Life, Titanium Black, 3 Year Manufacturer Extended Warranty (UK Version)
From the brand
I’ve been looking into buying a new phone for a while as I was so fed up with the unreliability of my Huawei P30 so decided to buy the Samsung S24..I am so pleased I did
Moved up fron S22+ to this beauty. The S24 is a great phone slim powerful and the migration took just 15 minutes for all apps and files from my old phone. Performance is super fast. The price deal is really good also
Upgraded from Galaxy S21 256GB, and I’m loving it. I don’t like the S24 Ultra’s box design with sharp corners and I don’t fancy the S-Pen – not something I really need. Same applies to the extra set of cameras, all I needed were the normal, ultrawide and telephoto zoom lenses. Thought about the normal sized Galaxy S24, but I needed a bigger battery (4000 mah vs 4900 mah). Glad Samsung will be providing 7 years of software support for all S24 models, and that’s great. Got this using a huge gift card, huge cashback and good trade-in, so overall it was an awesome deal. No complaints so far.
A great product, easy update and an obvious upgrade choice from an S21 to gain the better camera.
Other than the mobile phone industries inability to design a protected, resiliant, product for environment and use case intended, without everyone buying “accessories” I’ve no disappointments here, so far.
(UPDATE!) 2 months in and dust from the case has damaged the titanium shell scratched all down the sides really bad because of a bit of dust , titanium frame is supposed to be more scratch resistant but I can assure you the frame quality is awful, so just a heads up , it’s not even safe in a case , never had this issue with any other phones even 100 ones!
I have used Samsung phones for well over a decade and they are always loaded with the latest features.
The S24 Ultra is no exception and is filled to the brim with next gen mobile features, primarily down to the newest inclusion, AI (although these are included on all S24 models).
Probably the nicest addition for me, is that of an inbuilt S-Pen. Previously these had to be purchased separately and then a further case, that held the S-Pen was required. Now it conveniently slots into the base, much like the Note models.
The cameras are top notch, with a 200x zoom on the ultra.
It is noticeably heavier than it’s predecessors, but for me this is a good thing, making it feel sturdy and expensive (which it is!!)
The screen is bright and works very well in sunlight, with minimal to no glare.
So far I’ve had no issues. The entire contents of my S21 transferred over flawlessly in about 15 minutes using the wireless in built app. The S24 walks you through the process step by step making it a breeze. This allows you to pick up exactly where you left off with your old handset!
I would highly recommend this product.
Firstly unlike others, I did get the upgrade to 512GB without issue. I also got the 100 off directly at purchase. I also got the free 1 year of Disney and I have confirmation that I will get the watch within 45 days. However, I had to do a fair bit of research to find out how to claim the Disney and Watch. That was hard going.
The phone itself is well amazing. The processing power is just a massive jump from my Motorola G100. I sheer quantity of toys is mind-blowing.
The basics:
The phone call quality and reliability is great, both on Bluetooth in the car and on the phone itself. I use data for maps, radio etc. all the time and this works very well (not flawlessly though).
There are some fantastic automated features and smart home connectivity which I have looked at and must try.
Wifi is working very well and the full phone transfer from my old phone was reasonably easy but the passwords did not come across. I spent 2 days setting everything back up. I did not realise how much I had on my phone.
I use dual sim for Work and Personal use. My only grip is that you cannot totally separate these from each other. So you have to be careful when making calls and texting. I am getting to grips with it though.
There is so much functionality I could probably write a book and still not cover everything.
I am now learning what you can do with the S Pen, which again seems to be lots. I do like being able to simply write a quick note when you need to without having to search for a paper and pen.
Battery life is amazing. I find the phone can comfortably last 2 or more days, but I am not a gamer and I do not use my phone to watch movies, nor do I sit watching tictoc or youtube on my phone.
I use my phone for smart home management, email, photography, listening to music (MP3’s and radio), navigation using google maps and Android Auto, etc.
The bottom line is if you can afford this phone, then I think you would be hard-pushed to be disappointed.
So would I recommend this phone, well simply yes. There are no issues for me other than the jumping through hoops to get the freebies, but that is not a reflection on the phone.
Oh and I would recommend a case, just be careful of the Magsafe ones, I got one and it affected the S Pen functionality. I had to return it and get a non magsaf case.
As good set of features for this phone and Samsung have said it will get 7 years of security update support. I have the Amber Yellow but the yellow is very faint and better than I thought.
Managed to get the double storage 256GB -> 512GB plus 100 voucher off for 899. Also successfully claimed Galaxy Watch 6 as a pre-order special which should arrive in the next month and free years subscription to Disney+ saving almost 100 for the year. The free screen protector and case wasn’t very clear on how to claim but realised what I needed to do and ordered it separately and Amazon gave me a credit to my account plus there was a voucher for money off so end up paying 6 in the end rather 20.
All in compared to the full price and including Disney+ I have saved almost 600 🙂
i have seen some people complain about the pre-order offers but that’s because they needed to read the instructions on what to do!
