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
  • @Bardregan
    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"
  • 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

    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. ♥🙏♥🙏

    note they'll give whole pen yet not a headphone jack.
  • @iHaadi
    Use me as a nobody said that button!
  • The S24 Ultra is Snapdragon everywhere, only the S24 and S24+ have Exynos in certain regions

    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.

    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.
  • @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!
  • @Micah-Woods
    I noticed, when testing the circle to search feature with the navigation features, changing the haptic response speed in accessibility settings improved the feature!
  • @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!
  • 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.
  • @vaxick
    Circle to search is a thing on the Pixel line. Depending on the content, you can either long press to trigger it or hit the power button to bring it up and specify what on the screen you'd like to search for.
  • @OhPhuckYou
    9:52 Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro also received circle to search on January 31st. Im already in love with the feature. Google did a great job at this AI.

    Galaxy s24 from titanium is finally something that linus can drop, and it will break the floor
