Overview
Daniel reviews the newly announced Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, criticizing its incremental hardware updates, uninspiring AI features, and high cost before deciding against purchasing or recommending it.
The S24 Ultra features hardware changes such as a titanium build, a Snapdragon 3 processor, a brighter screen, tougher Gorilla Glass, a boxier design with angular corners, and a 5x optical zoom camera replacing the previous 10x lens, requiring digital cropping for 10x photography.
Galaxy AI capabilities encompass video speed adjustments such as creating slow-motion clips or speeding them up, background object and person erasure, background removal, and live speech translation.
With the phone priced around $1,300 or £1,000, which Daniel considers excessively high and comparable to gaming laptop pricing, interest shifts toward alternatives such as the ROG Phone 8.
