I spent 9 months with the Galaxy S24 Ultra — here's what Samsung could learn for the S25 Ultra

Galaxy S24 Ultra long term review.

I’ve always been a fan of Samsung’s flagship phones and usually make them one of my daily drivers, but something strange happened with this year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra. It just didn’t quite make as deep of an impression on me, and while I’ve continued to use it on and off for roughly the last 9 months, I’ve opted to use other Android phones as my daily driver.

Samsung didn’t help itself by ditching the 10x optical zoom camera in last year’s Galaxy S23 Ultra for a shorter 5x optical one with the S24 Ultra. These kinds of changes made everyone second guess the company, but luckily this controversial decision for me was put to rest once I took over 200 photos between the S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra to see how their cameras compared to each other.
