It's surprising that Samsung didn't choose a 64 megapixel 115mm camera. A missed opportunity in my opinion.

Great review. Most other websites only mentioned how great the display is because of the new anti-glare glass, but nearly none mentioned how terrible the panel quality is compared to the samsung's own last years models and other phones. I was so disappointed when compared my s24u with my old s22u that had no grainy display issue or washed-out colors and terrible brightness management.

Vivo X100 Pro has less than 100Hz according to notebookcheck review.

Phone is "so exciting" that they did not even bother to post other video samples. Only one.
4K@120 that is not even real 120, just playback out of 30.
Even this site seems to be getting tyred of samsung not doing anything new and useful.
It has been while that it is known samples from 115mm that are 230mm equivalent are worse than 230mm from S23u. It is equivalent of using 6mm2 sensor. That is even smaller than 1/4" (8mm2) .
Keep the iphonization. S7 Edge alone sold more than entire s23 series, despite having pathetic mono speaker (when stereo should have been added since s5).

I certainly like my S24 Ultra better than my S23+ was. I'm just glad they went with a flat screen this year. Otherwise, I would have never purchased the S24 Ultra.

walkman8, 13 Feb 2024The curse of the "even" Galaxies continues: s20u,... moreThe S21 Ultra wasn't bad when it came to its twin telephotos, but you're otherwise right. The odd-numbered phones really aren't that compelling compared to their predecessors, though you can't deny that the main camera at least was a large upgrade.
You're still right, though. S20->S22->S24 is a good combo compared to S21->S23.

The 24 megapixel photos definitely have more detail.

[deleted post]This. While I was excited to read this review because of the new 50MP 5× telephoto and the realistic image processing, I'm still massively disappointed by how long the Oppo Find X7 Ultra's and the ZTE nubia Z60 Ultra's reviews have taken. So many phones have been reviewed before these despite these two being announced for review almost right at the start of the year.

It would be interesting to see a 240mm or 360mm camera comparison with the Pixel 7 Pro, Vivo X100 Pro, Oppo Find X7 Ultra and Honor Magic6 Pro.

The curse of the "even" Galaxies continues: s20u,s22u,s24u.
Several reviewers mentioned that s-pen might slip up from the slot while in pocket, which was unthinkable for previous Note/S Ultras.

Now that are some really poor Pro-s for recommending this phone.
Dex, like all other Samsung
Charging speed is fayer than pixels and iphones
The S pen :))))
One Ui like all other Samsungs?

"but it might be the opposite and might have false details."
Yes, that's indeed the case. Just look at the last sample image from the 9x comparison. Look at the name "EDILMA" in the center of the image. The 9x machine learning version makes it more artificial.
It's also possible that Samsung uses pixel binning at 10x in certain cases even in good light conditions (my Pixel 7 Pro only uses pixel binning at 10x, if the light conditions are not good, otherwise it will always avoid pixel binning at 10x). In that case, the 10x mode doesn't capture more information than the 9x mode, so it's easier for machine learning to pretend that 9x is better than 10x. For example, the 10x image of the mountains looks a little bit as if pixel binning was used, but of course I don't know whether that was really the case.

4.6 score with the whole myriad of display issues? This is hardly 4.3% this year. Samsung is clearly trying to save money on demura process. and all units are affected. If you dont see graininess on yours it does not mean it's not there.

Still, it is weird and if it turns out to actually be a hardware problem, then that's a rather small-big faul
