They said this phone was boring. I disagree! - Samsung S24 Ultra

inside

this

box is my new

phone

which is cool because as you can see I desperately need one the S2 very fun you guys the look of the s23 Ultra I know you didn't change much

this

time but I personally think it's a new type of Glass. on the front of a

phone

, yes, that's enough to justify a new revision number. Also, it's not the only thing

they

changed,

they

upgraded to the Snapdragon 8 gen 3 processor, the base model comes with 12 gigs of RAM instead of just 8. gigs and Ai No, I'm sure there must be something else, oh yeah, the second telephoto lens, the zoom lens is 5X with a 50 megapixel camera and a faster lens and has a titanium frame.

I like the Titani titanium, get a Galaxy Titanium, that's all. Eh, but there's still a lot to experience starting with the screen. Samsung claims that this new display will reach peak brightnesses of 2600 nits and what's even more incredible is the fact that we achieved even higher results in our independent HDR tests and We'll get to this in a second, but first we can talk about this gorilla armor I mean, usually here on the short circuit set. Reflections are a big problem on devices, but for both my eyes and the camera, look at these guys. a completely washed out studio light look on a simple mortal phone is incredibly impressive or what here I am trying to capture that light look that's crazy, we should open the video with this without mentioning the difference in color performance.

Do we really open this with ah? It's kind of like the s23 S because that screen I don't think I've ever seen anything like it on a phone and that anti-glare coating, not to mention it's not just anti-glare, it almost almost looks like a matte screen, but when you touch it it's still shiny. I really like it. There are many things I like here. Let's do a quick physical tour at the bottom. We have our Sim slot. USBC charging port. One of our speaker ports. and I love it once you get used to the S Pen, man, it's funny because I don't use it every day, but when I do use it, I'm so glad I have it.

Okay, look at this. the other night and my wife and I have these little cards that tell us okay this is what you're going to do on date night you just scratch it off and that's what you do so our card from earlier this week is go to a dollar store, buy glow sticks and duct tape and become glow stick people, so we were like, "Well, this is really cool and it would be cool to take a picture of ourselves dressed like this, but we don't want to." ". Ask someone else to take it, so I set my phone to a log, grab my S Pen remote shutter, come on, oh I guess she asked me not to share them with the internet.

Point is, I like the S Pen on the top mic, I guess. we have an amplified earpiece speaker right there and then on the side, we have our volume control as well as our lock button and oh, 5G cut, very nice, pick up that millimeter wave, we're looking at a very similar one. camera set until last time, we have a 200 megapixel main shooter, a 12 megapixel

ultra

wide angle, instead of the 10 and 10 telephoto lenses, we have a 10 telephoto lens and then the 50 megapixel one that I already told you about and then on the front, you're looking at a 12 megapixel selfie camera, as usual from Samsung, you can double click to open your camera app, double click again, boom, I'm taking a selfie, oh that looks very sharp, damn, looks very good, initial reaction, subsequent reaction, wow.

That minimum brightness, though honestly, as a night phone user, is somehow more important to me than how bright it can be because phones are already bright enough to be usable in basic landing conditions. Look at that, that's not even close, that's amazing. I can't even see it and that's a good thing, it's obviously a very old phone to compare to the G, but that's something I think our little joke about the s23 Ultra s didn't really capture. Most people aren't upgrading their phone from the very latest generation, they're upgrading from something older. This is so obscure I can't find the slider.

Here we go, we fix it and there are a lot of things I like here. I have always liked the curved screen. I know, I know. I'm sorry they went for a flat screen this time, it doesn't bother me in any way, so if that's something you like then it's great and the performance, although we found it actually wasn't as good as some of the other Snapdragons . 8. The third generation devices we have tested recently are certainly better than the last generation. I wonder why this is, given how much Samsung has talked about its incredible cooling solution for this file.

I mean, it's certainly not a size limitation. beefy guys though if I had to guess something I'd say maybe they don't want the difference to the exos to be too much that's all a conspiracy I put my tinfoil hat on for that one I mean I have the hair I am not saying they are aliens but aliens one thing that is not different from region to region is the titanium frame. MMM I dont know. I think it's great. I guess it's cool. I think most people probably are. I'm going to put a case on it talking about cases, our sponsor dbrand, their line of grippy cases is now available for the s24 series, they are good, I mean self explanatory, they have good grip, they feel great in the hands , the buttons are very easy to click, which I still don't fully understand how they did it using a similar rubber case to add an extra click to the button.

I don't know, it doesn't matter, the point is that it is compatible with Magsafe and is now available on Short less.com, not just Did you buy the domain? They continue to renew it, returning to performance in games. The s24

ultra

was also behind other Snapdragon 8 gen 3 devices, particularly when it came to frame time consistency, so the 1% lows we saw in the Dolphin and Genin were shocking. They were a little on the lower side, meaning you'll still get a pretty good gaming experience. Play games in this incredible another area where it falls behind other similarly equipped phones, although battery life is to be clear.

We're not disputing Samsung's claims about all-day battery life, in fact we found we got over 24 hours of YouTube playback at 480p brightness and 200 nits, that's great, it's just not 30 hours Samsung claims our stress test saw us land timidly. of 3 hours which is pretty solid and our charging time was very reasonable at one hour at 65 WTS, but although it should be noted that it wasn't with a charger included, does it have Wi-Fi 7? Yeah, hey, that's not on the list. -Fi 7 is incredibly awesome and if you don't love it yet you should know what's up with Bluetooth 5.4 not 5.3 5.4 are some major improvements in terms of latency as long as you have a compatible device anyway it's fine still Wi -Fi 7 is great. the screen is 6.8 in 100 20 HZ, so it obviously feels super smooth and we've managed to get this far in this video without talking about any of the Glorious AI.

I haven't personally experienced any of this, so the one and only Jake Bellance, our short circuit producer, is going to tell me two that are the best I should experience right now. He does all kinds of interesting things. His Notes app will now locally transcribe your conversations and meetings. Apparently, he can even handle multiple people. There is an interpreter. Features in Android will auto summarize incoming messages and suggest relevant replies, that's cool. o The Galaxy AI editing tools are fine, so in your photos some of this stuff is running locally, so if you want to remove a shadow or a reflection or something like that, it's actually running on the beefed up AI processor that's built into the phone, but some of these things depend on the cloud, like if you want to move a person or delete an object, okay, bellance, what are we doing?

Circle to search with Google Circle. Google it, okay, okay, okay, okay, so I'm going to take a photo and I have no idea how this works. I wasn't at the impact, so I'm going to take a photo of myself. I'm taking a photo of myself photo I'm going to take a photo of myself then I'm going to then I'm going to hold down the home button what's home oh my goodness Bixby where's home where the hell is the home button how do I find the home button? I don't have buttons on the screen. It's broken. I broke it.

I have your SP pencil. I got it. Just relax. You just held the bar. What is that stupid? OK. Start button. OK. I'm going to look for this. boy, yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying to try now, no way, I didn't stage that, I didn't stage that, uh, okay, we can search for anything, so I don't know, I could do this any time. Great, why are all the Reddit results so far? They're just adding Reddit to every search. Okay, what is this? Well, what is that? I swear to God if this is Reddit again. No way, no way, no way.

Real link to buy. Okay, this feature is exclusive to. the s24 series at the moment, I actually think it's all coming to the s23 as well, all the AI ​​stuff, but there's no way this won't come to basically something that does because Google desperately wants all this delicious data, they want it in any moment. I'm going to buy Google like it's there. Oh who waits, waits, waits, oh man I could play with this feature all day. I think I can find it. Oh no way, LTG store.com, honey, it's so fast because it runs locally. Thank God.

We're in this whole cloud thing, you know why it happened because Google and Microsoft and all these guys are looking at the cost of their data center, how is this sustainable? What is that thing we used to do and where did we put the processing? power on the user's actual device, let's do that, I love it, swiping up will give us some quick fixes, we could add some background blur, you know, that's actually not bad, more blur, less blur, that's cool, especially since you only have one camera, not bad. although it's not bad, especially if you do this processing in the device object eraser, this is it, this is stupid, let's get rid of it, it's very useful, yes, you know what I am, I like it, it's definitely an improvement , let's get a A photo of me with shadows on my face makes my nose look even bigger, which is impressive.

Oh, here we go, here we go, here we go, well, oh, no, well, um, yeah, how about this, oh, um, oh boy, okay, that's not what I intended. I, I don't want to get rid of the dynamism in my lighting, I just want to get rid of this weird shadow on my face and instead we become this weird nonsense, uh, now that's nightmare fuel of yours. an aid that is great to help you stay in the lines, at least it seems that way. Wow, dude, that's pretty cool, okay, give me one more AI editing tool. AI editing tools, okay, let's take a photo, sure, okay, how do we do it? do this uh oh this maybe advanced intelligence oo really okay reimagine your images move remove and resize people and objects and use advanced intelligence to fill in the background okay so it was like the bad local version we were using before, this is great, I want. this computer moves yeah okay I'm going to put it there so this is free until 2025 and then realistically after that you can pay damn that's actually not bad how did this get completed ?

Did you just guess or are you using images? from the Northern Lights desktop platform like you're going to find out what this thing is and what's supposed to be there, that's pretty impressive, save your copy, a visible watermark will be superimposed on the output image to indicate that it is generated by AI, so this is interesting, especially in light of the recent controversy with the AI ​​generated images of Taylor Swift, Samsung is marking both in the metadata and in the image itself that the image has been yes, there is manipulated AI there, it's right there, that would be very difficult to crop and then republish without metadata somewhere, this solves the problem, verbal irony, hilarious solution solved, subscribe to Short Circuit, oh wait, we're not talking about prices, the S24 series is priced from $40 with 1TB capacity up to $100 more than the S23 series. and while the s23 series was priced really high, this upgrade doesn't seem that unreasonable given that at that base level where at least $100 Adder gets you additional RAM, how do you feel about Apple should someone put RAM in their devices? or it will make you look bad anyway that's all for today subscribe to Short Circuit see you guys later
