Hello everyone, I am Tiger who loves to tell the truth. This year’s new Samsung products focus on AI functions. Is this year’s weak hardware updates masked by software or is it really strong? New models are on the market. Old models are about to see price cuts. Samsung S24 Ultra and Should I buy a new one or an old one compared to the Samsung S23 Ultra ? Let’s take a look at this year’s Samsung S24 Ultra with Tiger. How is the experience compared to the Samsung S23 Ultra? Is the upgrade worth the price difference? Let’s not look at the function first . Let’s take a look at the hardware of the Samsung S24 Ultra. Personally, I feel that the biggest change is that the appearance has not improved at all. The front is finally back to a direct screen this time. This also marks that Samsung will be in the market nearly ten years after the release of the Galaxy Note Edge in 2014. Replacing the curved screen with a straight screen on the ultra-large cup has brought many benefits to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. First of all, users with curved screens in the past generally could only choose hydrogel film or light-curing film. Compared with The feel of the tempered film is not that good, and its durability is relatively average, which greatly reduces the flagship experience. Of course, Samsung has not completely made the screen straight. It still retains a little curvature at the edge to make the sliding feel on the edge of the phone better. After replacing the straight screen, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra did not maintain the previous screen frame but further narrowed it. What is presented to everyone is this high-quality screen with ultra-narrow borders and almost equal width on all four sides. Samsung’s screen quality is definitely Without going into too much detail, it has always been the top level in the industry. The parameters of this screen have basically not changed much compared to the previous generation. The 3120x1440 resolution supports 120Hz and the refresh rate supports 16 million colors. The brightness of the screen has changed from the previous generation. The peak brightness of 1750nit has been increased to 2600nit. Although it seems mediocre in the numerical competition of many Android flagships 3000-4000 , Samsung can indeed measure such a high peak brightness in a large enough area. The viewing effect is quite shocking. And this time In order to ensure users’ viewing experience outdoors, Samsung has added an AR anti-reflective coating to this screen. According to Samsung officials, this anti-reflective coating can reduce 75% of screen reflections and increase visual effects. Let’s compare under light. It can be clearly seen from the two machines with and without coating that the Samsung S24 Ultra on the left displays less reflection under the same light exposure and angle. Naturally, it can obtain a better viewing effect outdoors. Let’s come back after viewing the screen . Look at the second big change this time . Samsung followed in the footsteps of Apple and Xiaomi and used titanium alloy for the middle frame . It looks gray with a little yellow and is more rounded than the previous generation's middle frame. This time, it is more right-angled to make the front of the phone look tougher. Samsung's treatment of the middle frame is different from Apple. Apple chose a brushing process. Samsung directly used a matte process to make the middle frame feel less astringent. It uses titanium. The benefits of the alloy not only bring stronger hardness , but also reduce the weight of the phone and make it feel better to hold. In terms of imaging , the main camera is still a 200-megapixel lens f/1.7 and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens f/2.2. A 3x telephoto lens with an aperture of 10 million pixels and an aperture of f/2.4. At this time, some friends are asking: Isn’t this parameter the same as the previous generation ? You are wrong. The biggest change in the S24 Ultra this time is the 50 million pixel lens. Will the telephoto lens of the previous generation be changed from a 10-megapixel ten-fold lens to a 50-megapixel five-fold lens? Will there be a big difference in actual image quality? Next, let’s take a look at the telephoto lens used on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The IMX854 has a sensor size of 1/2.52 inches. Compared with the previous generation, the sensor size of the IMX754 is 1/3.52 inches, which is greatly improved . It also has the advantage of high pixels and can produce four-in-one pixels for the final film. The effect is richer in detail, and the picture is naturally less noisy. I originally thought that the telephoto lens of the S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra would be better in daytime comparison, but the result showed the opposite result. With the blessing of the algorithm, the S24 Ultra The film is better than the previous generation. This new telephoto lens has more obvious advantages in dark light scenes at night. The exposure orientation of the picture will be darker. The picture looks purer at first glance and the details will be clearer when zoomed in. After the comparison, the conclusion is that this lens The image quality of the 50- megapixel five-time telephoto lens is better than that of the 10-megapixel ten-time telephoto lens after zooming in to ten times. Of course, we must also take a look at the image quality and color performance of other lenses in daily shooting . After turning on the 200-megapixel mode, the exposure of the main camera will be relatively lower than the 12-megapixel output. When you zoom in, the details of the entire photo are quite rich . For example, you can clearly see the numbers and letters of the license plate in the distance. This is still quite good. It’s scary , and I personally feel that the imaging speed of this generation of 200 million pixels has improved. Overall, the experience is good. The color strategy of Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in this generation is more elegant and does not have overly high saturation like before. After watching it for a long time It’s easy to get tired of aesthetics , but in recent years, Samsung has not followed the trend in the tone of Android phones . Instead, it adjusts the film style according to its own exposure and color orientation. I don’t know if you like it. In terms of video, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra This new five-time telephoto lens supports 8K30fps video recording specifications and also supports up to 10 times magnification. The recording effect will be even better than that of the S23 Ultra. It is perfect for recording videos of your favorite singers. The performance of this year's Samsung The hardware advancement is also equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship mobile platform. The performance improvement of this platform is still quite huge, especially in terms of peak performance and energy consumption , and this year there is also the addition of a larger VC vapor chamber. It makes daily use cooler and lower energy consumption also brings longer battery life to Samsung S24 Ultra . After talking about hardware, let’s take a look at the AI function Samsung is promoting this time. If you find this band in the system APP The small star icon means that when you click on it, there is a new Galaxy AI function. Galaxy AI. First, let’s take a look at the translation function. It is called simultaneous interpretation in the system. It can switch the two conversation interfaces into face-to-face mode to communicate face-to-face with foreign friends. The translation can be easily completed when the user is on the phone . The response speed is quite fast , and this function can be turned on during a call. The experience is naturally quite good. This function is very practical for friends who want to go abroad. The other is the Bixby smart phone that is connected to the AI large model. The assistant not only brings stronger semantic understanding than before , but also the response speed has become very fast. Now you ask it all kinds of questions and it can answer fluently. It is really much smarter than before . One of the recording functions is The transcription assistant can directly convert speech into text without uploading it to the cloud. The actual text conversion efficiency is very high and the accuracy is pretty good. The transcribed text will be directly imported into the Samsung Notes APP, where you can directly use AI to summarize and format the content. In the photo album, we can also see the star icon when you click on it. After that, you can discover the image processing functions that are quite popular recently. You can eliminate redundant objects in the image and change the position and size after selecting the object. Compared with other solutions , Samsung's solution is faster and you can complete the selection and picking with just one tap. The accuracy of the image is still good, and the experience is very good. The first impression I had on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was very good because of its tough titanium alloy middle frame and ultra-narrow bezels of equal width on all four sides. The front appearance is very good. It feels like Zeng Jin’s Galaxy Note series is back . More surprises in terms of hardware come from this 50-megapixel five-time telephoto lens. A larger sensor and higher pixels may bring excellent image quality. It has become a new concert artifact. In terms of AI functions, it brings AI assistant, intelligent translation and easy-to-use intelligent elimination algorithm. Samsung can surpass Apple in this regard to bring a revolutionary experience to users. This year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra may It is the most worth buying Samsung ultra-large mobile phone in recent years. I don’t know what you think. Anyway, I am already very excited about the price . Finally, for friends who are confused about whether to buy S24 Ultra or S23 Ultra, another important factor is the price. Currently, the official website of Samsung for S23 Ultra The starting price of the S24 Ultra is US$1,199. The starting price of the S24 Ultra is US$1,299. If you look at this price, it is obvious that the S24 Ultra is more worth buying. However, based on Samsung’s price cuts in previous years and e-commerce platform promotions, I will buy the S23 Ultra in the near future. It is possible to get it at a discount equivalent to the price of the S24 Ultra, which means that the maximum difference between the two models is $500. Based on the above analysis, do you think the improvement of the S24 Ultra is consistent with the $500 price difference? Will you choose the new one or the old one?
