GoanGeek's S24 Ultra - FAQ's, Review and General Stuff

[GoanGeek]

Hi Lovely People

I will be updating here my thoughts, issues and solutions I find so keep checking now and then.

UPDATE: MY FAVOURITES FROM THE S24 ULTRA

1. AI Writing Styles

2. 4k video on all lenses

3. ND filter on Expert Raw app ( yet to test it)

4. Anto reflective screen.

5. 5x lens

First Impressions:

Coming from an S21 ultra ( rounded corners and bezels) It's a bit of struggle getting used to the boxy design.

Don't like the speaker placement on bottom left as it gets covered if you are gaming and the sound seems less loud compared to the S21 ultra

The screen does have a smooth curve so it's not as bad as I imagined it would be.

The phone with the free vegan case feels soft but a bit slippery for now. Might invest in a new case let's see.

The screen and gallery photos kinda give me a pixel style vibe compared to my S21 ultra in the sense they are less pinkish and more on the greenish side. ( I will keep checking about this)

Still setting my phone up so check back later.

TO USE A SCREEN PROTECTOR OR NOT?

As you can see from the video below the free screen protectors provided during the preorder stage actually Lessen the anti glare properties of the screen.

So your decision really

I used it to buy Wreckfest (car game)

Weird how my son's A34 and my S23u had November playstore version...S24 has July!

[GoanGeek]

My s21 ultra was on November then reverted to July after the one ui6 update and now is on Jan 24.

Probably it will be updated soon.
