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.

              Anonymous, 15 Feb 2024Person who obsesses over charging speeds: just sadWell you are weird if you prefer waiting 1h5m for your phone to charge as opposed to 25 minutes.

                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 ;)

                          in my humble opinion , current display technology especially Super Amoled look more worse than previous good lcd especially the X Bravia Engine triluminious from SONY. The color look washed out and over exposed . Some more become yellowish and greyish for white background app.Thats look ugly to my eyes.

                            Please update the best category best phones

                                    Anonymous, 16 Feb 2024GsMArena, why is your review score of Samsung Galaxy S24 Ul... moreIn my humble opinion, the S23U is far superior to the S24U. I ordered one (1TB) and it was on it's way back to Samsung within a week. Horrible battery performance, in fact, when I was on the phone w/Samsung tech support via Smart Tutor, we both watched the battery level drop 13% in a 30 minute call. He was freaking out, I was beyond PO'd. Screen wise, the display looks like a straight led panel, no color depth whatsoever, and switching between vivid and natural makes zero difference. I went into developer options and changed the contrast from normal to high. It made some difference, but nothing to write home about. Samsung's claim to fame, among other things, is their vibrant display. They dropped the ball there. Can't comment on the camera, I'm not a camera bug. Regardless of the brand, they all produce decent photos. I'm sticking with my S23U. It gets a solid 6 hours of screen on time, and never drops below 40%. As far as flat display vs curved, I couldn't care less

                                      Wow good battery life.

                                        SteveUk, 21 Feb 2024...why on earth do you need 2160p on a 6 inch screen?! The ... moreThe difference is noticable for myopic people, but that doesn't change the fact that it's practically useless.

                                        But at the same time, it's completely natural for people to have many expectations on an expensive phone.
