The Galaxy S24 Ultra represents an iterative but significant upgrade, focusing on refining the core Ultra experience and introducing AI features. The switch to a flat display with Corning Gorilla Armor greatly reduces reflections and improves S Pen usability. The titanium frame enhances durability and feel. Performance is stellar thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, handling all tasks and games effortlessly. The 5,000mAh battery offers exceptional longevity. The quad-camera system is highly capable, with the new 5x optical zoom camera providing excellent results. The S Pen remains a key differentiator for productivity. While charging speeds are not class-leading, the overall package is a premium, feature-rich device that earns its ‘Ultra’ designation. However, its large size and high price remain factors for consideration.
