It really baffles me that in a highly competitive consumer tech industry today, a major smartphone maker like Samsung is taking more than 7 months to make their 'FLAGSHIP' phone the Galaxy S24 Ultra to make it reach it's full potential. 

The much hyped 'BIG' camera update isn't here yet which fixes all the camera issues. It's been 7 months. 

The One UI 6.1.1 which adds some more much needed AI features to the S24 Ultra isn't out yet. It's been 7 months. 

And yet I hear reports that the Samsung team is working on ONE UI 6.1.1, 7 and 7.1 simultaneously. Are you serious?? 

S24 Ultra is a 1300 dollar flagship which is unable to compete with some of the best in the competition because of a lackluster camera in most scenarios. It feels like I bought a 'wannabe' flagship phone and not an actual flagship. 

The S24U is a great device with terrific hardware but is prevented (by Samsung) from reaching it's full potential because of it's software. It's funny that there are already conversations happening in the tech community about the S25 series when the S24 series itself isn't sorted yet.

One more major consideration is costliest flagships device with consumer's health risk.
No risk free pwm dimming for eye safety.

Brother, you have provided a detailed and well-structured explanation. It is undeniable that Samsung cannot refute these facts. Unfortunately, the service provided by Samsung S24 Ultra has been deteriorating with each passing day.

Have just switched from A72 to S24 Ultra and I'm utterly disappointed with the camera. The forced optimization makes the images look horrible. The images from the 50MP and the 200MP sensors are so badly optimised that I've gone back to taking pics with my A72.

The white balance is horrendous after the forced optimization. Even expert RAW is not of much help.

There are some phones quarter the price of S24U which click similar quality pictures. Very disappointing.
