3 Months Later, Galaxy S24 Ultra Surprised Me (Not With AI)

Three months after its launch, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has proven to be more impressive than initially anticipated, not due to its AI features but because of its superior display qualities. The phone's antiglare screen offers significant advantages in visibility, especially outdoors, outperforming competitors like the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Pixel 8 Pro. Additionally, the screen's durable Gorilla Armor coating has shown excellent resistance to scratches, enhancing its longevity.

Despite the emphasis on AI tools during its launch, the S24 Ultra's AI features, such as Circle to Search, have not been uniquely groundbreaking, as similar functionalities are available on other devices. The camera, although versatile with its zoom capabilities, hasn't been as revolutionary compared to previous models or competing smartphones. However, improvements like the Quick Share feature for easy file transfer have been highly beneficial, indicating that while some features underwhelm, others significantly enhance user experience.
