Titanium Strength

Now available in a premium Titanium frame, colours of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra are Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, Titanium Violet and Titanium Yellow

Popularly used in the military, aerospace, automobile, marine and aircraft industries – Titanium is bulletproof, twice as strong as aluminium used in previous model S23 Ultra and is resistant to corrosion and heat all while being lightweight

Despite the additional features, larger battery and new components under the hood, weight is marginally lighter at (233g compared to its predecessor at 234g)

IP68 dust and water resistance is a standard on a flagship device such as these – so no need to avoid water and dust like the purge – this flagship is the perfect companion to embrace adventure this year!

Beauty and Beast

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a new Corning Gorilla Armour screen panel, together with 42% slimmer bezels. Here you’ve got a brighter display at 2600 nits, 120Hz refresh rate on a stunning 6.8 inch OLED Screen! Everything you see – including your images taken on the devices itself will benefit from a brighter, clearer display.

Oftentimes we have clients who are a bit confused about which model to choose as they often reference monstrous Megapixels from a cheaper smartphone manufacturer – however there is more to picture quality than Megapixels which we will touch on later, the bigger question is what is the screen display quality of the device with the 500-gazillion MP camera – and what use is it if you’re viewing it on a Sony TV-110-VZ Black and white display from the 70’s? 750 nits just wont cut it my dear, don’t get duped…

Curves Out, Slick In!

The overall shape has graduated from a curvier to a boxier design as Samsung moves away from the curved edge screens to a flatter, more contemporary screen – making those clicks at the edge of the screen much more seamless and responsive compared to its predecessor where your thumb dangles over the edge as you try to “catch” the target with a series of ninja-like finger manoeuvres.

Don’t get me wrong, the curved edges were a beauty – for design, but practically missed the mark – it muffled content on the sides and required razor focus and multiple attempts at times to highlight or select icons on a website! Personally I believe its a design element that should have been scrapped a short while after its appearance on the Note 3 in 2013! On the S24 Ultra, this issue is a thing of the past!

Under the Hood

Powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Chip and 12GB RAM, this is without a doubt the pinnacle of power and speed from all of Samsung’s offering and with power like that – you need to keep it cool so Samsung has added a Vapor chamber twice the size of the S23 Ultra; keeping the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra ‘s temperature down and averting any opportunity for overheating hiccups that powerhouse smartphones are sometimes prone to.

The other life-saving benefit of a larger vapour chamber managing your S24 Ultra’s thermals, is that you get to opt for the larger charging adapters such as the 45W or 65W Super Fast Chargers which will load you up and send you on your way in a Snap!

It Keeps Going!

Now with the largest battery ever on a Samsung device; the S24 Ultra packs an eye-watering 5000 mAh battery so you can watch videos up to 30 hours and listen to music up to 95 hours.

Click Click, take a pic

The Camera set up is as follows: a healthy 200MP Main lens, 12 MP Ultra-Wide, 50MP Telephoto. 5x optical zoom is available; which uses pixel-binning with the help of AI to achieve “10x optical quality” zoom that aids in producing sharper quality zoom alongside the beastly 100x Space Zoom. So now you can bird-watch a majestic raptor from a safe distance or spy out the UFOs lingering at night – when you’re in their destination of choice – America of course…

AI – Legit Intelligence!

Zoom is not the only benefactor of AI, but the entire Samsung Galaxy S24 series champions the full support of machine learning features with tasks like editing photos and creating slow-mode video footage with AI

The addition of the stylus or S-pen, which comes standard with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra; makes tapping into AI editing by selecting and editing or moving objects magic all in few simple clicks! Revolutionary really.

Recompose, Move, Generate Elements

Beyond simply moving objects in your pictures, you can resize, delete, edit, recompose and if your picture is lacking in detail you can even tap the ‘Generate’ icon which allows AI to fill in missing elements

The Galaxy S24 Ultra can detect reflections and shadows which means no more bloomers-gone-rogue conspicuously venturing into your perfect shots. No need for complex fixes – all you do is click info, an array of suggested edits are displayed and viola – what was a bog-standard photograph is now transformed into a masterpiece fit for a professional or the walls of a very judgemental social media audience. Photoshop who!?

Slo-Mo Edit: Life in full bloom

A Slow-Mo edit of ANY video footage, shot by your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra or not – can now be transformed into slow-motion by a simple 3-step process: Play video, touch and hold which prompts the device to scan the footage, multiplies the frames per second by 4 and AI creates additional frames in real time on your device for easy access!

Multilingualism: Saving The Embarrassment

Learning a new language is listed as a personal goal of countless earth-dwellers, and yet; how many of us actually get down to it?

Well, what if I told you that you’d have the superpower of multilingualism the moment you unboxed your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra – no pesky classes necessary? Sounds crazy, but hear me out…

Powered by AI, the new Live-translation feature allows you to activate translation during calls at the touch of a button to recognise your speech and translate it to the language of the person you’re speaking to and in return it translates your responses to the caller on the other side in their own language! Language barriers and Google translate are now a thing of the past! Business and overseas travel arrangements are now a breeze! Just like that, You’re international, papi!

Proofreading, Summarisation & Tone-Correction: AyayAI it’s good!

Written speech can also be kicked up a notch with AI via In-text Translation where AI can now proofread, summarise and even tone-correct your text. Your S24 AI buddy is a truly dependable

With Summarisation you can now direct the device to a website, file or note and it will condense the content into a fundamental bullet points

Tone-correction aids with typos and rephrasing of sentences to translate them into a more graceful, positive tone so you’re never misunderstood. ‘Think before you ink’ is now a team-effort with you and your handy AI buddy! The 24 Ultra is now a filter for those who have #nofilter

Circle-to-search

You’ve head about Google Image search but for 2024 that just won’t do, S24 AI now brings you ‘Circle-to-search’ – which with the help of Google it now allows you to search by highlighting images AND text which allows Google Lens and traditional keyword search to join forces – drastically decreasing your look up/ research time by narrowing down your intended results

Increased lifespan – 7 years of regular OS & security updates

The biggest commitment ever from a leading Smartphone manufacturer, previous models offered up to 5 years of security and 4 years of OS updates. This is great news for users, as not only will this benefit allow you to keep your S24 Ultra for longer without any deterioration in speed and security but will also retain the value and demand for an S24 resale when you decide to part ways

PORSCHE & HUAWEI COLLABORATION

It was 1987 and Huawei had just been founded; focusing its engineering mastery on manufacturing phone switches of all things it later entered the smartphone market in full bloom. The brand was met with skepticism as Samsung and Apple’s long time rivalry was at its peak _ and to our amazement we witnessed Huawei grow in leaps in bounds in less than half a decade and eventually claim Apple’s coveted number 2 spot as the world’s second largest smartphone manufacturer this year! Way to go, Huawei!

Now there are many reasons Huawei has taken the smartphone orb by storm but we reckon their collaborations with the likes of Leica and other awesome brands has had hand in carrying them to the top!

Meet the new SUPER powerful Note

Posted on September 12, 2018September 26, 2018 by Kerry Rodricques

12 Sep

The terms ‘powerful‘, ‘cutting edge‘ and ‘versatility‘ have been used so excessively in the world of technology that they no longer portray their true essence.

Because of this we find ourselves eye rolling our way through advertisements and marketing pitches but let me tell you, these adjectives we believe are befitting of the Note 9 which was officially released on 22 August 2018.

Its so awesome that we’ve taken our time to put together a more comprehensive look into how powerful the latest flagship from Samsung truly is. Forget about those lengthy spec articles that make technology seem so detached from your reality, here is a practical account of the power that’s packed into this handheld beast!

You would’ve experienced the ad on TV by now if you’re living on planet earth – and we call it an experience because that tune in the background unleashes endorphins in your body like no other. You can’t help but sing along – I reckon Samsung made a stand-out ad that is as iconic as the Eiffel Tower, now that’s advertising!

Kudos to them!

Alright let’s get into it!

PERFORMANCE

Performance, Performance, Performance… what is a device if not its performance!

The Galaxy Note 9 is the epitome of performance with its cutting edge Octa-core processor thats pushes boundaries and water carbon cooling that ensures that performance doesn’t come at a price – I’m talking gaming and media performance that doesn’t have to turn your phone into an over-heating buzzkill. And let’s talk battery – this device packs the biggest battery in the Smartphone world than any other. It’s marketed as an All-day battery for a reason. At 4000 mAh Samsung has been all the wiser with its 8 point safety check to put consumers at ease with no possibility of the…ahem… Note 7 repeat. I know – we don’t wanna taco about it too!

BLUETOOTH S-PEN

Now we can’t talk about a Note without mention of that fun-filled S-pen!

I must say, the colour contrast of that bright yellow S-pen with that rich ocean blue exterior on the device itself is reminiscent of a ready-for-action sports car. But, thankfully – its not just a pretty face.

The S-pen now comes standard with Bluetooth technology that allows you to use it in the office to command presentations which means no more speed walking to get to your PC for the next slide and makes you look effortlessly cool too haha.

Additionally Note 9 has something called Dex which with a simple cable transforms your device into a PC – taking productivity to a whole new level.

This bluetooth technology in the S-pen also enables users to take pictures remotely with just the click of the S-pen – no more tripping over things to get into the shot in 5 seconds!

SPEAKING OF PICTURES…

With 2 lenses that adapt like the human eye the Note 9 will have you sitting pretty with its powerful AI that recognises scenes to adjust background lighting and detects flaws like closed eyes and lense smudges to name a few. A dual 12 megapixel camera is more than enough we reckon to capture the beauty of your picturesque vacay or satisfy your selfie urges.

STORAGE CAPACITY

In addition to awesome pictures, the Note 9 comes in 2 sizes – 128 GB and 512 GB with expandable storage making the Samsung the first device to introduce a 1 terabyte ready handset. This device was designed to be the smartphone that never runs out of space – so if you’re constantly having to find space and get rid of those precious memories in your Galaxy and ‘could-be useful’ documents then this will solve all your storage capacity problems.

ON TO AUDIO…

Note 9 sports an added speaker at the top for better bass performance, less distortion at higher volumes and access to Dolby Atmos tech – you know the company that’s responsible for taking our cinema experiences to a whole new level – yeah that one! It improves sound to make the listener feel like its coming from all around the room. Way to recreate the experiences we capture in our home videos!

DISPLAY

And how can we not mention that Super AMOLED display that is technically the best in the world on a smartphone and Bixby, your virtual assistant who you can boss around all day long – taking hands-free usage and your ego to a whole new level!

So that’s the Note 9 in a nutshell – versatility at its best. It’s for the businessmen/women, the creative kid, the mature gamer, the sophisticated grandma on-the-go, the impulse shopper, or simply the flashy teen – because if this ain’t flashy; we don’t know what is! This is Note 9 for YOU…

We will be sure to drop more awesome infoposts to keep you in the loop with all things crazy in the Smartphone orb. And we couldn’t resist not sharing that feel-good music with you before we sign off… You’re welcome 🙂
