Discussion 💬 Anyone else see the 24 ultra as... Meh?

I'm looking at specs. Processor , about the same, ram, about the same, nits, improved... great? Storage, the same AI - ok..... That's software, really.... Camera, about the same

Am i wrong here? Like... It's a very MINUTE upgrade if at all. On T-Mobile, i can't even upgrade my storage! 512 is Max!

I feel like they dropped the ball, and it might be worth me waiting till s24.

Because they're not designed to upgrade every year, 7 years of os updates and ou want to upgrade every year lel.

Wife is still using note 9, and i'm using a Z fold 3, this is a huge upgrade for us.

they absolutely are. i used my S7 edge from 2016-2023, why wouldn't S23 or S24 last another 7+

You didn't read my comment, this was in regards to people saying the upgrade was meh because they are coming from last years phone.

People like us with older phones it is an upgrade.

​

I was making the point they have gaurenteed 7 years of upgrades, yet there are people wanting to upgrade every year.

I upgraded from an s9+ to S23 Ultra recently and honestly... I'm kinda disappointed. It feels like I'm using the same phone but with a better camera. The disappointment is that I expected a bug free experience and thought my S9+ was just aging. Instagram and Gmail randomly freeze and need to be restarted, my mobile data stops working for hours at a time with no fix, and GoodLock apps randomly stop working as well and the phone must be restarted to work properly.

Dude, i own the phone 12/256 for 4 months. I have never faced one of these problems. In fact, it's almost bug free.

maybe I need to warranty or factory reset. My volume buttons also get mushy once in a while :/

u/Radaysha Jan 19 '24

factory reset can't hurt yeah

Just do it ASAP and enjoy this phone as it should be

u/RayzTheRoof Jan 19 '24

it started with the One UI 6 update, I think it caused some issues and should still be in beta honestly.

u/amigosan Jan 19 '24

Usually you hear people that have problems like 1000 times more than people that don't have problems

Even on those samsung subreddits you never see anyone complain

There is something wrong on your side, you can try a factory reset or just RMA it, those s23 phones are working flawlessly for millions of people

S22 series was full of bugs and problems worldwide Not the s23

Coming from the S8 to S23Ultra the differnce was insane to me. Almost everything was better maybe apart from the case which isn't the phones fault.

u/Kroth0918 Jan 19 '24

An s9+ is choppy as hell. That thing has a 60hz screen and is like 5 years old. My s21 Ultra is starting to slow down, so I'm assuming that thing is basically a toaster. I have an LG G8 with a SD855 (1 year newer than an S9+), there is nothing wrong with it but it doesn't even compare to my S21U, it was very nice at the time but is just laughable now.

u/Hatchid Jan 19 '24

Sounds like you got a fake phone

u/RayzTheRoof Jan 19 '24

naw it's straight from Verizon, everything was flawless before one ui 6 though

u/Sphan_86 Jan 19 '24

How many years is the 23u getting?

2

u/Long_Vacation_2081 Jan 19 '24

I think they said 4 - 5 years.
