The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra adds a bunch of new features compared to its predecessor Samsung S23 Ultra. We had to wait about 11 months after the release of the old Galaxy S23 series. Though the design is almost the same as the Galaxy S23 Ultra, there is a new processor inside it, and a slight upgrade in the camera module section, specifically the zoom camera changed up a bit and ended up with the 4 cameras on the back. A key highlight of the Galaxy S24 Ultra is its integration with Galaxy AI.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Design and Colors

The Samsung S24 Ultra uses a Titanium frame, following in the footsteps of Apple’s pro phone. But the weight of the phone is almost the same as its predecessor. This time, Samsung moved toward the flat screen to replace the curved Edge design. The titanium material exhibits a perfect grain, providing a secure and grippy feel, while the frame seamlessly rounds out to a beautiful flat area. Even yet, it would be daring to wear one of these stones nude.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is available in 7 colors: Titanium Yellow, Titanium Violet, Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, and with having a few exclusive Titanium Orange, Titanium Green, and Titanium Blue.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Display

Samsung S24 Galaxy Ultra featured a 6.8-inch, Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen with a resolution of 1440×3120 pixels. With a peak brightness of 2600 nits, it offers an enhanced viewing experience for HDR content and usability under bright sunlight. The display is QHD+ resolution that will provide a super quality image. The display panel is LTPO with a variation between 1 Hz and 120Hz. 

 Samsung uses an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner that is fast and secure compared to the optical sensor.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Camera

Samsung is always providing its best in the camera hardware section. The scenario is the same this time. Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 Ultra with a complete camera package that can capture stunning photos and incredible zoom capability. In the back, we have a 200MP main camera that is wide-angle & capable of 2x optical quality zoom, a 12MP Ultra-Wide camera, a 50MP one with a 5x optical zoom, and a 10MP one with 3x optical Zoom. You will notice that Samsung opted for a 5x optical zoom instead of the 10x lens used in the previous year. But this time, with a high-res 50MP sensor and AI tricks, Samsung achieved the same or almost better result with it.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra offers excellent performance in both bright and dim lighting. Additionally, the ultra-wide camera is adjusted to match the main camera’s quality, but because the lens is difficult to use, the photographs have a little inferior quality. With zoom cameras, the closer we get, the more the software adjusts the exposure and color balance of the images. Thanks to the 50MP sensor, the zoom appears just as excellent as it did before. It offers a respectable selfie with lots of details and a higher dynamic range in the selfie portion. All things considered, the Samsung s24 Ultra is one of the greatest phones for taking amazing pictures.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra offers a range of frame rates and formats in the video segments, including a 1080p slow-motion option at 960 frames per second. When used with compatible displays and apps, this device’s 10-bit HDR film videos (HDR10+ mode) enable HDR rendering.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Performance

The Galaxy s24 Ultra uses the new Qualcomm snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor that is slightly overclocked for the Samsung flagship. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is an extremely powerful processor that helps the Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra to provide great AI features such as live translations. The benchmark score is high and performance is top-notch for daily uses as well as gaming.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Battery

The capacity of the Galaxy S24 Ultra battery remains at 5,000 mAh. It is roughly equal to the Galaxy S23 Ultra in terms of durability. You can last a day and then some if you spend a lot of time using the AI features. Alternatively, for casual users, the phone can last up to a second day.

The Galaxy s24 Ultra is capable of charging with wired charging at 45 W, and wireless charging at 15w but no support for the QI2.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra launches with One UI 6.1 based on Android 14. The One UI 6.1 is pretty smooth and has tons of AI features. The most promising AI features with one UI 6.1 are:

  •   Live translation during a phone call
  •   Circle to search
  •   Chat Assist with the capability of paraphrasing
  •   Summarizing the notes, voice recording from the recorder
  •   Summarizing websites and articles

In addition to these AI features, the One UI 6.1 has split-screen capabilities and the ability to use the S Pen as a mouse cursor when hovering, writing, and drawing on the phone using air gestures.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Conclusion

The Samsung s24 Ultra best in every aspect. If you are currently using the s23 Ultra or another flagship phone of the last year, then it is not needed to jump to this. You will only miss the Galaxy AI features. But if you are currently using a flagship phone of 2-3 years old, then definitely it will be better to jump out towards the Samsung S24 Ultra.
