       The S24 Ultra is about a year old now, and I’ve been daily driving it for eight and a half months. In that time, I’ve updated the software to One UI 7.0 beta, broken the S Pen, dropped the device, used it in the rain, and put it through long hours of use. So, what’s good—and what’s not? Storage and Performance This phone comes with 512 GB of storage, which is a significant upgrade over my previous device. Months later, it’s only about two-thirds full—roughly 312 GB in total. I’m not a prolific photographer, but there’s still plenty of room for 8K clips, slow-motion footage, notes, databases, and tech articles. Most of the storage is filled with podcast clips ripped from YouTube, which I then download and edit on the device. This is when the phone’s processing power and 9 GB of RAM really come into play. My editors of choice—LumaFusion (a $20 purchase) and Motion Ninja (for $60)—work well and are relatively fast, as long as they’re open. If I switch to another ...

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a review of the Galaxy S24 Ultra.     When I first received this phone, I was amazed. The build quality is great, though I would have liked the curved edges that I have seen on the S23 Ultra. The screen has stayed free from micro-scratches, and the Victus 2 glass is mostly scratch-free.     The titanium frame is also strong, and there are no scratches on my device. The handset also feels very light in the hand. The S-Pen is also very sturdy to use, though my cap got broken off (someone stepped on it). Overall, the build quality is very good.     The screen is also great in most lighting conditions. It is a 6.8-inch adaptive 120 Hz QHD display. It claims to get up to 2600 nits of brightness, and it has an anti-reflective coating applied. The screen gets bright enough, though in the bright Houston sun, sometimes black text or maps (dark mode) get washed out and it can be hard to read. The screen seems to perform better in light ...

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a first impression of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The S24 Ultra is amazing! The screen is great, and I was able to get the hang of the S Pen gestures. The camera system looks decent, but I need to do some more testing. I got the 512 GB version of the phone with 12 GB of RAM. The phone also has the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 3 for Galaxy chip. The AI features and capabilities are amazing. Yes, they came to my S22 Plus, but they are much faster on the Ultra. The transcription is more accurate and faster in my limited testing. Apps open faster (could be a launcher issue, but I tested that as well), and Layla AI was actually usable. It gave me a response in seconds, completely offline! This is a game changer. The software seems more fluid and works faster. The only weak point seems to be the S Pen writing in the text box accuracy. The speakers seem great, and even with my battery case on (review coming soon), it feels light. Speaking of battery, it appears that the batt...

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article. Yes I know I know!!!  I went to the Samsung store and went hands-on with lots of Samsung tech including the S24 Ultra here are my impressions.       The phones in the store feel really fast. Even the budget ones. Maybe it is because they are new and in retail mode, but even the A54 felt a tad slower than my S22 Plus. The S24 Ultra was actually fast. I simulated my workflow by opening applications in pop-up mode, editing and recording videos, and switching applications. The video editor never left the spot (great RAM management) and the camera was snappy and good. The camera application was also a lot more fluid and responsive. However, the SPen did not feel really good. The Ai image editor was decent but it seems like it cannot edit human faces. Thankfully, you can crop the stupid AI watermark.       I also compared budget phones and noticed that the A15 and the A25 have different features. Wh...
