1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,520
inside this box is my new phone which is great because as you can see I

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:14,320
desperately need one the S2 very funny you guys s23 Ultra s look

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:19,320
I know they didn't change much this time around but I personally think that a new

4
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,320
kind of Glass on the front of a phone yeah that's totally enough to justify a

5
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:27,279
new revision number also that isn't the only thing they changed they've upgraded

6
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:33,320
to the Snapdragon 8 gen 3 processor the base model comes with 12 gigs of RAM

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:35,559
instead of just 8 gigs and

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:42,200
Ai No I'm sure there must be something else oh yes the second telephoto lens

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:44,680
the zoom one is 5X with a 50 megapixel

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:54,440
camera and a faster lens and it's got a titanium frame nice I like titanium

11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:56,640
titani get a Galaxy titanium that's it

12
00:00:54,440 --> 00:01:01,840
huh but there's still a lot for us to experience starting with the display

13
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:07,520
Samsung claims that this new display will reach peak brightnesses of

14
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:12,880
2600 nits and what's even more unbelievable than that is the fact that

15
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,159
we reached even higher results in our

16
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:19,680
independent testing HDR and we're going to look at this in a

17
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:25,119
second but first can we talk about this gorilla armor I mean normally here on

18
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:31,640
the ShortCircuit set Reflections are a huge problem on devices but both to my

19
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:35,920
eye and even in the camera look at this

20
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:38,680
guys that's a studio light look at that

21
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:43,079
completely washed out on a mere mortal phone is that freaking impressive or

22
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:47,320
what here I'm try to catch that light look at that that's crazy we should just

23
00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:51,799
open the video with this not to mention the difference in color performance did

24
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:56,600
we really open this with ah it's kind of an s23 S because that screen I don't

25
00:01:55,159 --> 00:02:01,200
think I've seen anything quite like it on a phone and that anti-glare coating

26
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:06,360
not to mention it's not just anti- glare it almost it almost looks like a matte

27
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:10,920
display but but to touch it it's still glossy I really like this there's a lot

28
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:15,640
to like here here let's do a quick physical tour at the bottom we've got

29
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:22,680
our Sim slot USBC charging port one of our speaker ports and got to love

30
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:24,720
it once you get used to the S Pen man

31
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:28,840
it's a funny thing because I don't use it every day but when I use it I'm like

32
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,239
I'm really glad I have this okay check this out it was dat night the other

33
00:02:30,519 --> 00:02:35,640
night and my wife and I have these little cards that tell us okay here's

34
00:02:34,519 --> 00:02:41,000
what you're going to do on date night you just scratch it and and that's what you do so our card earlier this week is

35
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:45,000
all go to a dollar store buy glow sticks and tape and turn yourself into glow

36
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,800
stick stick people so we were like oh well this is you know really cool and

37
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,800
it'd be great to get a picture of ourselves dressed up like this but we

38
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:58,599
don't want to ask anyone else to take it so I set up my phone on a log grab my S

39
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:03,799
Pen remote shutter let's go oh I guess she asked me not to share this with the

40
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:06,319
internet the point is I like the S Pen

41
00:03:03,799 --> 00:03:10,360
on the top microphone I guess we've got an amplified earpiece speaker just right

42
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:15,480
in there and then over on the side we've got our volume rocker as well as our

43
00:03:11,959 --> 00:03:17,879
lock button and oh 5G cutout very nice

44
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:22,040
get that millim wave we're looking at a very similar camera ARR to last time

45
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:27,319
we've got a 200 megap Main shooter a 12 megap Ultra wide instead of the 10 and

46
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:30,319
10 telephotos we have a 10 and then the 50 megapixel telephoto that I already

47
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:34,640
told you guys about and then at the front we're looking at a 12 megapixel

48
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:38,239
selfie camera as usual with Samsung you can double click to open up your camera

49
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:44,120
app double click again boom I'm taking a selfie oh that looks really sharp damn

50
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:48,720
that looks really good the initial

51
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:53,439
reaction the later reaction wow that that minimum

52
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,640
brightness though honestly as a nighttime phone user in some ways that's

53
00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:00,720
more important to me than how bright it can go cuz phones are already bright

54
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:06,120
enough I can use them under basic Landing conditions look at that that is

55
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:11,319
not even close that's awesome I can't even see that and that's

56
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:14,799
a good thing obviously it's a very old phone to be comparing it to GES but

57
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:20,239
that's something that I think our little joke about s23 Ultra s didn't really

58
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,680
captures most people are not upgrading their phone from the very last

59
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:30,039
generation they're upgrading from something older this is so dim I can't find the

60
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:32,199
slider there we go got it fixed and

61
00:04:30,039 --> 00:04:36,479
there's a lot to like here I've always kind of liked the curved display I know

62
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:39,520
I know I'm sorry they've gone with a flat display this time doesn't really

63
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:46,840
bother me either way so if that's something you're into then that's great and performance while we found that it

64
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,120
wasn't actually as good as some of the

65
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:53,280
other Snapdragon 8 gen 3 devices that we've checked out recently it's

66
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,759
certainly better than the last gen I do have to wonder why this is given how

67
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,360
much Samsung has talked about their amazing cooling solution for this film I

68
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:06,600
mean it's certainly not size constraint she's chunky boys though

69
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:11,639
if I had to guess at something I would say maybe they don't want the difference

70
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:13,479
to the exos one to be too much that's

71
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:17,160
that's all conspiracy the I got my tin foil hat on for that one I mean I've got

72
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:21,520
the hair do for it I'm not saying it's aliens but aliens one thing that's not

73
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:29,199
different from one region to the next is the titanium frame I um I don't

74
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:31,039
know like cool I guess right like that's

75
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:35,520
neat I think most people are probably going to put a case on it speaking of

76
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:40,280
cases our sponsor dbrand their grip line of cases is now available for the s24

77
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:44,440
series they are well I mean it's self-explanatory they're grippy they

78
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:49,880
feel great in the hands the buttons are super clicky which I still do not fully

79
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:53,240
understand how they've done using a like rubberized case to add extra click to

80
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:59,800
the button I don't know it doesn't matter the point is it supports mag safe

81
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:01,919
and it's available now at Short lin.com

82
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:06,120
not only did they buy the domain they keep renewing

83
00:06:03,479 --> 00:06:11,479
it coming back to Performance in games the s24 ultra was also behind other

84
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:16,560
Snapdragon 8 gen 3 devices particularly when it comes to frame time consistency

85
00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:21,440
so the 1% lows that we observed in Dolphin as well as genin impact were a

86
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:25,520
little bit on the lower side which is to say you're still going to be getting a

87
00:06:22,919 --> 00:06:30,319
pretty darn good gaming experience play wi games on this thing incredible

88
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,800
another area where it falls behind other similarly equipped phones though is

89
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:38,680
battery longevity to be clear we are not disputing Samsung's claims of all day

90
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:47,240
battery life in fact we found that we got over 24 hours of YouTube playback at

91
00:06:42,919 --> 00:06:49,080
480p 200 nits brightness that's great it

92
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:54,080
just isn't the 30 hours that Samsung claims our stress test saw us land just

93
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:59,639
shy of 3 hours which is pretty darn solid and our charge time was very

94
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:02,759
reasonable an hour at 65 WTS though

95
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:04,919
should be noted that um that was not

96
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:10,639
with an included charger does it have Wi-Fi 7 yes hey

97
00:07:08,599 --> 00:07:14,360
that's not in the list Wi-Fi 7 is freaking awesome and if you don't

98
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:21,720
already love it you should what about Bluetooth 5.4 no 5.3 5.4 is some big

99
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:27,479
improvements in terms of latency as long as you have a compatible

100
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:30,319
device anyway okay still y57 very cool

101
00:07:27,479 --> 00:07:35,120
the display is 6.8 in it's 12 20 HZ so obviously it feels super smooth and

102
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:40,360
we've managed to get this far into this video without talking about any of the

103
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:44,120
Glorious AI now I haven't personally experienced any of this stuff so the one

104
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:48,280
and only Jake bellance our producer on ShortCircuit is going to tell me two

105
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:52,720
that are the best that I should experience right now does all kinds of

106
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,960
cool stuff their Notes app now locally will handle transcribing your

107
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:00,680
conversations and meetings apparently it can even handle multiple people there's

108
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:05,599
interpreter functions Android auto it'll summarize incoming messages and suggest

109
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,879
relevant replies that's super cool ooh

110
00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:12,240
Galaxy AI editing tools okay so in your photos some of these things run locally

111
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:16,720
so if you want to remove a shadow or reflection or something like that

112
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:20,199
that'll actually run on the beefed up AI processor that's built right into the

113
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:23,919
phone but then some of these things do rely on the cloud like if you want to

114
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:28,360
move a person around or remove an object okay bellance what are we doing Circle

115
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,919
to search with Google Circle to search with Google all right okay okay okay

116
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,080
okay okay so I'm going to take a picture and I have no idea how this stuff works

117
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:38,159
I wasn't at impact so I'm going to take a picture of myself I'm taking a picture

118
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,599
of myself picture I'm going to take a picture of myself then I'm going to then

119
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:47,080
I'm going to hold the home button which one's the home oh my God Bix where's the

120
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:50,120
home where the hell's the home button how do I find the home button I don't

121
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,399
have on screen buttons it's broken I broke

122
00:08:52,680 --> 00:09:00,160
it got your S Pen yeah I've got it just chill you just hold on the bar what

123
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:06,880
that's stupid okay hold home button okay I'm going to search this guy

124
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:11,480
yeah I'm try I'm trying to try it now there no

125
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:21,760
way I did not stage that I did not stage

126
00:09:18,839 --> 00:09:27,760
that uh okay we can search for anything so I

127
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:31,360
don't know I could just do this like anytime this is so

128
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:42,240
cool why are all the results from Reddit so far are they just appending Reddit to

129
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:45,959
every search okay what's this

130
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:48,440
thing okay what is that I swear to God

131
00:09:45,959 --> 00:09:55,040
if this is Reddit again no way no way no way actual link to buy okay this feature

132
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:59,040
exclusive to the s24 series right now actually I think it's all coming to the

133
00:09:56,079 --> 00:10:03,640
s23 too all the AI stuff but there is no way this doesn't come to basically

134
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:08,880
anything that'll do it because Google desperately wants all this delicious

135
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:15,160
data they want it anytime you're going to buy Google's like I'm there oh who

136
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:20,000
wait wait wait oh man I could play with this feature all day I

137
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:25,200
think okay can't find it oh no way I'll D

138
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:30,320
store.com baby it's so fast cuz it runs locally

139
00:10:28,519 --> 00:10:34,079
thank God we're all over this whole Cloud thing you know why it happened

140
00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:41,279
because Google and Microsoft and all these guys are looking at their Data Center cost going like holy how is this

141
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:45,440
sustainable what what is it that thing we used to do where we put like

142
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:51,079
processing power in the user's actual device let's do that love it swiping up

143
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:55,279
is going to give us some quick fixes we could add some background

144
00:10:52,760 --> 00:11:00,320
blur you know what that's actually not bad more blur less blur

145
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:06,920
pretty cool especially for only having you know

146
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:13,120
one camera not bad though not bad especially if it's doing this processing

147
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:15,600
on device object eraser this is all this

148
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:19,680
is stupid let's get rid of it that's very usable yeah that's you know what

149
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,720
I'm I'm kind of into it that is definitely an improvement let's get a

150
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:27,000
picture of me with shadows on my face then makes my nose look even bigger

151
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:38,519
which is impressive oh here we go here we go here we go okay well well oh no

152
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:38,519
what um yeah how about just this the oh

153
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:50,800
um oh boy okay not what I intended uh I

154
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:52,880
I I don't want to get rid of any of the

155
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:58,079
dynamism in my lighting I just I just want to remove this like weird Shadow on

156
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:03,750
my face and instead we just get like this weird nonsense

157
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:12,519
uh now that that is some nightmare fuel it has

158
00:12:09,839 --> 00:12:17,720
like an assist which is kind of cool to help you stay on the lines at least it

159
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:21,160
feels like it I that

160
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:23,720
wow buddy that's pretty

161
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:30,279
good okay give me one more AI editing tools AI editing tools

162
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:35,880
all right let's take a picture okay so how do we do this uh oh this

163
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:37,600
maybe advanced intelligence

164
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:42,120
oo really okay reimagine your images move

165
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:45,160
remove and resize the people and objects and use advanced intelligence to fill in

166
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:49,839
the background okay so that was like the crappy local version we were using

167
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:53,079
before this is super cool I want this

168
00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:56,480
computer to

169
00:12:53,079 --> 00:12:59,440
move yeah

170
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:04,040
okay I'm going to put it there so what this is free until 2025 and then

171
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:11,920
realistically after that you get to pay dang that's actually not bad how did

172
00:13:09,199 --> 00:13:15,560
it fill this in did it just guess or is it using imagery of the Northern Lights

173
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:20,600
desk pad like did it go find out what this thing is and what's supposed to be

174
00:13:17,079 --> 00:13:23,160
there that's pretty impressive save his

175
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:27,240
copy a visible Watermark will be overlaid on the output image in order to

176
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:30,760
indicate that it is AI generated so this is interesting especially in light of

177
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:35,199
the recent controversy with AI generated images of Taylor Swift Samsung is

178
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:39,959
marking both in the metadata and actually on the image

179
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:45,920
itself that the image has been yeah there it is AI doctored there it is

180
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:51,720
right there that would be so hard to crop out and then repost with no

181
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:56,279
metadata somewhere this solves the problem verbal irony

182
00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:14,360
hilarious solution solved subscribe to ShortCircuit oh

183
00:14:11,959 --> 00:14:20,240
wait we didn't talk pricing the s24 series is priced anywhere from 40 at the

184
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,880
1 TB capacity to $100 more than the s23

185
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:27,600
series and while the s23 series was priced really high this uplift doesn't

186
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:31,480
seem that unreasonable given that at that base tier where it's 100 Adder at

187
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,480
least you're getting additional RAM how do you feel about that Apple should

188
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,880
should anyone put any RAM on their devices or will it make you look bad at

189
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:41,920
any rate that's it for today subscribe to ShortCircuit see you later guys
