We have hands-on the S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra. Ask us anything. We’ve been invited by Samsung to attend Unpacked in San Jose.

    Is there a noticeable difference between the Titanium on the Ultra and the aluminium on the other models? I’m guessing it’s the colours on the Ultra that stand out more.

    Is it full of bloatware? If I recall the last version had some people mad because samsung likes to install their os on top of android so it effectively doubles the used space

      One UI doesn’t use that much more space compared to other skins if you judge by the size of the super partition. Unfortunately, ArsTechnica jumped the gun on the topic without doing proper research.

      I’ll edit this comment later with a list of pre-installed apps on the US unlocked model later.

    For the S24 Ultra -Can you hide the punch hole camera on the home screen? -Can you vertically scroll in the app switcher? -Are the quick tiles as bloated and useless as the Pixel phones? -Does multitasking work with animation scale disabled? -How curved are the screen edges and image/colour distortion compared to the S23 Ultra?

      We’ll be taking a bunch of photos later today, and I have my S23U with me to compare with. I took a quick shot with 10x on both devices, and at a glance the S24U is sharper.
