The Samsung S24 Ultra: A Powerhouse of Performance and Versatility

When it comes to smartphones, there are many factors to consider before making a purchase. One factor that stands out with the Samsung S24 Ultra is its exceptional performance. Specifically, it wins in two categories of performance for me: update cycle and power. Firstly, Samsung has promised to deliver seven years of updates to the ultra, which is a promising promise and puts it on par with industry standards. This means that even after 18 months or so, this phone will still receive software updates, making it a more reliable choice in the long run. In the past, Samsung was not as reliable with its update cycle, but it seems they are getting better.

Another area where the S24 Ultra shines is in terms of power. This reason to buy merges with another reason: versatility. The phone's incredible performance means I can use it as a computer with ease. Unlike other phones that may struggle with multitasking or slow down after a while, the S24 Ultra handles even the most demanding tasks without breaking a sweat. Whether I'm browsing multiple tabs at once or running multiple programs simultaneously, this phone never hesitates to keep up. In fact, I've found myself using it as a computer more often than my MacBook Air, especially when I need to be disciplined with my program usage.

The versatility of the S24 Ultra is truly remarkable. It's like having three devices in one – a personal phone, a tablet, and a laptop. The phone can easily transition from being a personal device to a tablet or laptop without any issues. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for those who need a power device that can adapt to their needs on the go. And when used as a laptop, the S24 Ultra offers longer usable life compared to most Windows computers out there.

If I were to put my "Enterprise hat" on for a moment, I would say that Samsung could take it to the next level by refining the deck experience and making it more akin to a laptop. But for now, the camera capabilities of the S24 Ultra are certainly worth mentioning. While they may look goofy at first glance, the cameras offer fine-tuned control over photos and videos, as well as excellent natural-looking colors both indoors and outdoors. As a YouTuber who uses various equipment, I can attest to the quality of these cameras.

In conclusion, the Samsung S24 Ultra is arguably one of the best personal tech devices ever made. It brings unparalleled power and versatility to the table, making it an ideal choice for those who need a reliable device that can keep up with their demands. While there may be other factors to consider before making a purchase, these reasons should give you a good starting point in evaluating whether or not this phone is right for you.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enokay real talk I told myself I wasn't going to make this video because I've I've personally been moving away from recommending top end Tech out there because things are expensive and inflation is only making it worse however obviously I decided to Cave here specifically because I've spent the past 3 months staring at this phone all that might be a weird way to start a YouTube video but them's the brakes welcome to my YouTube channel the Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra is amazing and if you are in the market for a Powerhouse in your pocket you should buy this phone now I do want to point out that nobody is paying me to say this I don't even have another sponsor for this video nobody loaned or gave me this phone I have no relationship with Samsung I'm not even going to put an affiliate link for you to buy this in the description nothing there's besides the video there's no incentive for me to talk to you like this I've just personally been impressed here and I'd really I just want to share that with you today we're going to skip straight past the reading specs part of any standard Tech video you want to see those I'll leave link below to my whole s24 Ultra video that includes basically an hour of me gushing about this phone and its specs you want to see that specs you'll see so many specs in that video this phone device tablet thing here it's also not perfect Perfection is fleeting and certainly doesn't exist in any purchasable way so okay good you also got a bit of philosophy in today but I really I want to hyperfocus on why you should buy this if if if if you are in the market for a new megaphone the first reason is what we we let off with and what I've said many other times in many other videos this phone is the single best aesthetically built thing that I've ever experienced and I'm really trying I'm really trying to keep the hyperbole out of this script but it's really something to experience and seriously when I first when I saw the release about this I thought hey great another slab of glass hooray Samsung how like what could you really improve on and count me among the converted because everything about how this phone is put together is elegant the way the Frosted back folds into the metallic sides the way the phone is both blocky but just curvy enough the way the phone feels small in the hand but the screen feels gigantic when you look at it all of those things combine into an experience that at least for somebody that normally skews Apple it's pretty unique part of buying and using tech for me is feeling like I got my money's worth and part of that is a certain amount of aesthetic or build quality niceness that I look to get and the s24 ultra doesn't only check those boxes it blows those boxes up in place the next reason that I would look into buying this is while the price is high there's no way around that there are easy ways to take that price from an outrageous amount of money to Simply a very high amount of money first it's currently $200 off on Amazon so if you don't want the hassle that we're going to explain here and you just want something cheaper right off the bat well there you go there's $200 you saved right there this is why side tangent it never pays to buy new tech the second it comes out within a couple of months you can always find it cheaper and what did those first few weeks of ownership really get you other than bragging rights if you're willing to click a couple more buttons and mail a few things you can also get even more off the phone up to $700 for an iPhone or $750 for a high-end Samsung phone you will In fairness you do lose a bit of value on what you could get if you sold your previous phone individually but it's not that big of a difference for the headaches saved IMO I love the push for trade-ins that both Samsung and Apple have been doing it makes it easier to continue along the line and it's almost like the old sign up for 2 years for heavily subsidized phones thing that happened many moons ago ask your parents about that the next reason to buy the s24 ultra is the display we've already talked about the physical construction of the phone but holy crap the display is well that's good perfectly molds into the titanium sides it also has some of the best anti glare technology on the market and that is a weird thing to mention in a video when Tech videos are normally all about Woo new specs and the bar charts are going up H look at the faster refresh rate but simple usability actions like being able to see the screen in direct sunlight that's where real useful advancements are made and all of that those things are even before you turn the screen on but after you turn it on it's a gorgeous display that refreshes fast it looks stunning and because of its unique aspect ratio it's perfect for using in a variety of ways even even when vertical normally you need to give up something or have a foldable to get this kind of side to side functionality when not in landscape mode but while it doesn't feel and in fact it isn't that much wider than my iPhone 15 Pro Max it feels huge in all orientations I don't exactly know why that is I did say it earlier in the video but there's some kind of screen magic going on here it also has enough room to legitimately type up documents I really look team I really wish I could describe this better or at least describe how they achieve this because it's confusingly awesome the next reason to buy the s24 ultra is the performance this phone specifically wins in two categories of performance for me first and most importantly Samsung has promised to deliver 7even years of updates to the ultra that's pretty good and it's up there with the seemingly evolving out of nowhere industry standard the longer that is the better all the power in the world doesn't matter if the phone is obsolete in a year and a half and Samsung used to be pretty bad about this but they're getting better the second win for the power merges this reason to buy with another reason to buy the versatility of function in the s24 ultra we saw or you can see in my accessory video that you can go from literally just this phone to plugging it into a home computer setup and using it as a home computer the reason power is part of the conversation here when I don't normally talk about it in phones is this phone is so powerful I don't hesitate to use it as a computer and that's different than what I can say about my MacBook airs those are amazing computers in their own right but if you buy the lower end versions you have to Baby the active memory to avoid slowdowns I've said it in my videos there if you can be very disciplined with your program your tabs all that stuff the computer works great you don't have to baby anything with the s24 it just goes and goes and goes no matter how many browser tabs no matter how many active programs this thing never breaks a sweat Apples to Apples it is way it is more expensive than the MacBook a which is crazy in its own right but the fact that a cell phone that fits in my pocket can work better as a computer than a computer yes that's notable and I thought that was worth mentioning in a video I could and have gone on much longer about this I'm not going to dwell too long on this particular point but what I'm trying to say is consider your
