I bought the S24 Ultra on the day of release (or very close). I used to own a very good mid-range phone, so this is a big jump for me. I would class myself as a techie user, so not a gamer or average user.
Firstly unlike others, I did get the upgrade to 512GB without issue. I also got the £100 off directly at purchase. I also got the free 1 year of Disney and I have confirmation that I will get the watch within 45 days. However, I had to do a fair bit of research to find out how to claim the Disney and Watch. That was hard going.
The phone itself is well amazing. The processing power is just a massive jump from my Motorola G100. I sheer quantity of toys is mind-blowing.
The basics:
The phone call quality and reliability is great, both on Bluetooth in the car and on the phone itself. I use data for maps, radio etc. all the time and this works very well (not flawlessly though).
There are some fantastic automated features and smart home connectivity which I have looked at and must try.
Wifi is working very well and the full phone transfer from my old phone was reasonably easy but the passwords did not come across. I spent 2 days setting everything back up. I did not realise how much I had on my phone.
I use dual sim for Work and Personal use. My only grip is that you cannot totally separate these from each other. So you have to be careful when making calls and texting. I am getting to grips with it though.
There is so much functionality I could probably write a book and still not cover everything.
I am now learning what you can do with the S Pen, which again seems to be lots. I do like being able to simply write a quick note when you need to without having to search for a paper and pen.
Battery life is amazing. I find the phone can comfortably last 2 or more days, but I am not a gamer and I do not use my phone to watch movies, nor do I sit watching tictoc or youtube on my phone.
I use my phone for smart home management, email, photography, listening to music (MP3's and radio), navigation using google maps and Android Auto, etc.
The bottom line is if you can afford this phone, then I think you would be hard-pushed to be disappointed.
So would I recommend this phone, well simply yes. There are no issues for me other than the jumping through hoops to get the freebies, but that is not a reflection on the phone.
Oh and I would recommend a case, just be careful of the Magsafe ones, I got one and it affected the S Pen functionality. I had to return it and get a non magsaf case.

(UPDATE!) 2 months in and dust from the case has damaged the titanium shell scratched all down the sides really bad because of a bit of dust , titanium frame is supposed to be more scratch resistant but I can assure you the frame quality is awful, so just a heads up , it's not even safe in a case , never had this issue with any other phones even £100 ones!

(UPDATE AT BOTTOM) THIS IS A BEAUTY OF A PHONE!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2024
(UPDATE AT BOTTOM) Okay so this is my 2nd time with the s24 ultra... the first one that I pre ordered from samsung had to be returned as the battery only lasted half a day (NO that's not normal for the first few weeks) this must have been a battery fault. so i went to the phone shops to look at some phones (mainly the iphone 15 pro max) but i wanted something diffrent and couldnt justify paying the same price as the s24 ultra for an iphone that looks the same as my iphone 12 pro max and is older than the s24 ultra , so I thought I had to try this phone 1 more time, after all it's such a beautiful looking phone and I couldn't get it out of my mind , so when I saw they had a £100 off and free buds 2 pro as a promotion I jumped on it , and this time round I must say... I'm happy now. the battery is fine & the phone runs smoothly and it is fast and it's just all round a beauty of a device!. So if your looking for a new phone and can't be bothered with the boring look of an iPhone 15 or you just want a phone you can do so much more with customizable wise then I would 100% buy this phone , it's not cheap but a phone is something you use every single day... just treat yourself lol !!!!Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2024
