Linus tries the S24 Ultra and honestly is pretty dang impressed- definitely a HUGE step up from his Note 9 (lol), even if it doesn't have the same performance as other Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phones we've measured...

    The fact that dbrand keep renewing the domain speaks volume about the relationship between LTT and DBrand 😂
  • @pixGu
    That watermark eraser trick was damm impressive.

    “Scratches at level 7, with deeper grooves at level 8” Legendary phone

    Dear Note 9 we have been together for almost five years & you been good to me. We traveled around the world multiple times. We close many deals together and because of you I was able to stay in contact with many new friends and family from around the world. Did many video calls and got closer to people emotionally because of you. You were definitely there when I needed you the most. Time to upgrade to S24 Ultra and i see you will arrive today. Will miss you note 9. ♥🙏♥🙏
  • I would say the screen was probably the biggest improvement overall. Jerryrig did a video and there were barely any markings at level 6, but he wasn't even too sure if it was scratch marks or the glass coating.

    11:30 shadow removal works more for when you take a picture of something on your desk and the phone shadow is visible

    8:48 - For anyone wondering, you can get the on-screen buttons back by going to Settings -> Display -> Navigation Bar and setting it to"Buttons" instead of "Swipe Gestures"

    This was 12 hours ago and i already got the update that fixed the vivid/natural colors, this phone is amazing! the picture quality is mind blowing.
  • The S24 Ultra is Snapdragon everywhere, only the S24 and S24+ have Exynos in certain regions
  • @psionx1
    note they'll give whole pen yet not a headphone jack.
  • @JohnGorny
    Dont forget, the original note was the IYKYK phone - the real powerhouse in the samsung line. Back when I worked at VZW, we sold the galaxy S to customers, and we had the notes in our pockets. Havent bought an S pen type device until the 24 ultra now from my note8, and theres a lot of value here.
  • @zenklar
    This is the first Ultra that brings me back to the good old Note 9 days. Getting mine in a few days! Finally back to a real OG note!
  • @hananas2
    That display is probably the most interesting thing I've seen in any new smartphone in the last 3 years at least! Combined with the scratch resistance Zach showed at least.
  • @EggplantHarmesan
    Theres a huge problem with the 50 and 200MP cameras right now. In software even with optimization off those two cameras will still optimize your photos in the gallery. This includes RAW format photos. The AI optimization of images is subtier in bed room brightness light.
  • One thing about phones in the annual update cycle is there is only so much room for annual progress and you will really only be wowed when upgrading if you wait 4 or 5 years and even that is rarer and rarer.
  • @Eli-zb2yj
    Galaxy s24 from titanium is finally something that linus can drop, and it will break the floor
  • @SendFoodz
    6:57 Samsung's own site & specs sheet says S24 Ultra charges at 45W max (9V5A), so did the Labs Team mess up saying you charged it from 0~100% charging at 65W?
  • @FrostByte352
    I literally did the same upgrade from note 9 to s24 ultra. My old phone had a blown bottom speaker and the fingerprint sensor top film flaked off. Very happy with the upgrade so far. Refresh rate & visual clarity are awesome & the sound is huge!
  • @illuminati229
    The couple challege thing with the glowsticks linus was talking about in the beginning could possibly have been "The Adventure Challenge" for anyone wondering.
