The focus of Samsung's new products this year is focused on AI functions, is this year's hardware update weak, covered by software, or is it really strong, with a cross-era use experience? Then follow our experience to see how the Samsung S24 Ultra experience is this year.
Let's not look at the function first,Let's take a look at the hardware,Samsung S24 Ultra The biggest change in personal feeling is this appearance,The improvement in appearance is not a little bit,The front finally used back the straight screen this time,This also marks that Samsung will abandon the use of curved screens on the jumbo cup nearly ten years after the release of the Galaxy Note Edge in 2014。
Replacing the straight screen to Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra brings quite a lot of benefits,First of all, the film,The previous curved screen,Users can generally only choose hydrogel film or light fixing film to paste,One is not so good compared to the feel of the tempered film,The durability of the two is also relatively average,So that its flagship experience is greatly reduced。 Of course, Samsung did not completely make the screen a straight screen, and still retained a little curvature at the edge, making the sliding feel of the edge of the phone more excellent.
After replacing the straight screen, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra did not maintain the previous screen bezels, but further narrowed them, and what you see is a high-quality screen with ultra-narrow bezels and almost equal width on all four sides. Samsung's screen quality certainly doesn't need to be said too much, and it has always been the top level in the industry at present.
The parameters of this screen have not changed much compared to the previous generation, with a resolution of 3120x1440, support for a 120Hz refresh rate, and support for 16 million colors of color display. The brightness of the screen has been increased from the previous generation1750nit to 2600nit,Although this peak brightness is mediocre in the face of the domestic flagship3000-4000 numerical competition,But Samsung can indeed measure such a high peak brightness in a large enough area,The viewing effect is still quite shocking。
And this time, Samsung, in order to ensure the user's experience of watching the screen outdoors, has added an AR anti-reflective coating on this screen, according to Samsung's official statement, this anti-reflective coating can reduce 75% of the screen reflection, increase the visual effect, under the light, we compare the two machines with and without coating, it can be clearly seen, the Samsung S24 Ultra on the left is under the same light illumination and angle, the display is less reflective, and it is natural to get a better viewing effect outdoors.
After looking at the screen, let's take a look at the second big change this time, which is the middle frame. Samsung followed in the footsteps of Apple and Xiaomi, using titanium alloy material in the middle frame, which looks gray with a little yellow, and compared with the rounded middle frame of the previous generation, this time it is more biased towards right angles, making the front of the phone look more tough.
Samsung's treatment of the middle frame is not the same as Apple's, Apple chose the wire drawing process, and Samsung directly used the frosting process, so that the feel of the middle frame is not so astringent. The advantage of using titanium alloy is that in addition to bringing stronger hardness, it can also reduce the weight of the mobile phone and make it feel better to hold.
What we received this time is the titanium twilight purple color, although it is purple as the main color, but this purple is quite dark, it still looks relatively low-key, with a light gold middle frame, it really has a bit of Galaxy S21 "Laker color" feeling.
In terms of imaging, the main camera is still a 200-million-pixel lens with an f/1.7 aperture and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, an f/2.2 aperture with a 10-megapixel 3x telephoto lens with an f/2.4 aperture. At this time, a friend wants to ask, isn't this parameter no different from the previous generation? This is wrong, this time the S24 Ultra The biggest change is in this 50 million pixel telephoto lens, the previous generation of 10 million pixel ten times lens has become 50 million pixel five times lens, will there be a big difference in actual image quality? We also did a key test this time.
The telephoto lens of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra uses IMX854, which has a 1/2.52-inch sensor size, which is a great improvement compared to the previous generation in the 1/3.52-inch size of the IMX754 sensor, and it also has the advantage of high pixels, which can do pixel four-in-one, and the final film effect is more detailed, and the noise in the picture is naturally less. I thought that the S24 Ultra's telephoto lens and the S23 Ultra's telephoto lens should be better in the daytime comparison, but the results showed the opposite, and the S24 Ultra produced better than the previous generation with the blessing of the algorithm.
The advantages of this new telephoto lens are even more obvious in low-light scenes at night, the exposure orientation of the picture will be darker, the picture will look purer at a glance, and the details will be clearer when zoomed in. After the comparison, the conclusion is that this 50-million-pixel five-time telephoto lens is better than the 10-million-pixel tenx telephoto lens after being magnified to 10x.
Of course, we also have to take a look at the daily shooting, how is the image quality and color performance of other lenses?After turning on the 200 million pixel mode, the exposure of the main camera will be relatively lower than the 12 million pixel output, and the details of the whole photo are quite rich when you zoom in, such as the number letters of the license plate in the distance can be seen clearly, this is still quite terrifying, and the imaging speed of this generation of 200 million pixels is still improved, and the experience is good.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra In this generation, the color strategy is more elegant,It will not have too high saturation as before,It's easy to get aesthetically tired after watching it for a long time,But in recent years, the domestic machine has not followed in the matter of the shadow tone of the volume,Or adjust it according to its own exposure and color orientation,I don't know if you like the style of the film?
On the video side, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra makes the new 5x telephoto lens support 8K30fps video recording specifications, and also supports up to 10x magnification, which will also be better than the S23 Ultra, which is perfect for recording videos of your favorite artists.
Samsung's hardware progress this year, and the third-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship mobile platform, the performance improvement of this platform is still quite huge, especially in terms of peak performance and energy consumption, and this year there is also a larger area of VC vapor chamber added, making daily use cooler, and lower energy consumption also brings longer battery life to Samsung S24 Ultra.
After talking about the hardware, let's take a look at the AI function that Samsung focuses on this time, if you find this small icon with a star in the system APP, it means that there is a new Galaxy AI function when you click on it.
First of all, let's take a look at the translation function, which is called simultaneous interpretation in the system, which can switch the two dialogue interfaces to face-to-face mode, and it is very convenient to complete the translation when communicating face-to-face with foreign friends, and the response speed is quite fast, and you can also open this function in the call, the experience is naturally quite good, and this function is quite practical for friends who want to go abroad.
The other is the Bixby intelligent assistant that is connected to the AI large model, which not only brings stronger semantic understanding capabilities than before, but also has a fairly fast response speed.
There is also a function in the recording,That is, the transcription assistant,You can directly convert the voice into text without uploading it to the cloud,The efficiency of the measured text conversion is very high,The accuracy is not bad,The transcribed text will be directly imported into the Samsung Note APP,You can directly use AI to summarize the content、Typesetting and other operations。
In the album,We can also see the icon of the star,After clicking on it, you can find the image processing function that has become quite popular recently,You can eliminate excess objects in the image,You can also change the position and size after selecting the object,Compared with other solutions,Samsung's solution will be faster,You can complete the selection with a tap,And the accuracy of the key is still good,The experience is very good。
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra gave me a very good first impression this time, because of its tough titanium alloy middle frame, coupled with the ultra-narrow bezel of equal width on all four sides, the front value is very high, giving people the feeling that the Galaxy Note series of the past is back. The hardware surprise comes more from the 50-megapixel five-fold telephoto lens, which has a larger sensor and higher pixels for excellent image quality performance, which may become the new concert artifact.
In terms of AI's functions, bringing AI assistants, intelligent translations, and easy-to-use intelligent elimination algorithms, Samsung can surpass Apple in this regard, bringing users a revolutionary experience. This year's Galaxy S24 Ultra is probably the best Samsung mega phone to buy in recent years, and I don't know what you guys think, but I'm already really impressed anyway.
