I wonder whether you can take 50 megapixel photos at 46mm? This should be one of the main reasons for a 200 megapixel sensor.

    NeonHD, 25 Feb 2024Well you are weird if you prefer waiting 1h5m for your phon... moreWhy does one need to wait? When I get home my S24 Ultra goes on a wireless charging cradle. And it doesn't leave from there until I leave the house again. At home I am using my Samsung Tab S9 and S9+ tablets. I rarely ever touch my cell phone when at home. And I wirelessly charge my cell phone over 99% of the time.

    And, worst case, my phone only charges while I am asleep. Either way, I am never waiting for my cell phone to charge.

        But I also agree, the market should release more higher quality IPS displays, like the one on the LG G7.

          And soon, we will see solid state batteries replace Li-ion en masse.

              Anonymous, 27 Feb 2024Nope. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.It's an observation, not an opinion. Weird as in irrational. Like in the same way you are weird for taking a bus route that takes 1h to get to work vs. taking a bus that takes only 25 minutes.

                  I have my Samsung S24 Ultra for a month now and was very disappointed in the camera.
                  Before I had an Iphone 13 pro max and a Huawei P30 pro and they made way better photos.
                  Outside or shooting landscapes are no problem but indoor an shooting people are really bad pictures ...
                  Tried every setting even after the update but nothing worked. Especially the pictures in 200 and 50MB. After you press the shutterbutton they seem okay but then the overprocessing happens and they turn out like crap.
                  one UI 6,1 is excellent for the rest, mat screen is top quality ... but just those pictures.
                  I will probably return my Samsung ...
                  Like many others I want a Camera that can make phone calls not a Smartphone that takes pictures :-)

                    larryinokc, 21 Feb 2024In my humble opinion, the S23U is far superior to the S24U.... moreHi there! I've a question here. You mention 6 hours screen on time for the S23 Ultra. Is that normal? I too have an S23 Ultra with screen time around 7 hours on average (I keep my phone limited to 85%). Also, would you consider the Oneplus 12 an upgrade compared with the S23 Ultra?

                      I noticed that you don't provide audio playback anymore.
                      Q. Does the S24 ultra support WMA? I don't want to waste my money like I did on the S22 Ultra.

                        I personally think that the batt tech is far behind other tech.

                              1h30m is still a normal charging for a phone and this will make phone long lasting better than faster-charging in this present tech.

                                  In Night shots, GSM Arena think it's strange that 3x camera of S24 Ultra is better than S24+

                                  Well, the sensor size is bigger 1/3.52" instead of 1/3.92" so there is a difference. Focal length is 7.9mm on Ultra and 7.0mm on S24+

                                  Also the ultrawide lens on the Ultras is sharper. My S23 Ultra takes way better UW photos than my old S22 vanilla. And it's not just about auto focus vs. fix focus

                                  Stop staring at numbers, instead stare at the photos :)

                                  S23 Ultra main camera has a crappy sensor just like S24 Ultra. The colour are horrible. Try a Sony sensor next time ;)
