Samsung has once again pushed the boundaries of innovation with the introduction of its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Aesthetically reminiscent of its predecessor, the S23 Ultra, this cutting-edge device boasts a frame crafted from titanium alloy, a material known for its durability and scratch resistance. Strikingly, the Galaxy S24 Ultra manages to be a gram lighter than its predecessor, thanks to the use of titanium, while also being 0.3mm thinner and 1.1mm shorter, facilitated by slimmer bezels. The front and back are shielded by the robust Gorilla Glass Armor, offering a fourfold increase in strength and a 75% reduction in light reflection.
Display Evolution
The display of the Galaxy S24 Ultra has undergone a transformative upgrade, now featuring a completely flat 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel. With QHD+ resolution (3088×1440 pixels, 501 PPI), a variable refresh rate ranging from 1 to 120Hz, and a peak brightness of 2600 nits, the visual experience is nothing short of stunning.
Powerhouse Performance
Under the hood, the S24 Ultra houses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, tailored specifically for Galaxy devices. Notably, an enlarged evaporation chamber enhances heat dissipation, ensuring optimal performance across various tasks. This new processor lays the foundation for an array of artificial intelligence features, setting the Galaxy S24 Ultra apart.
AI-Powered Features
The artificial intelligence integration extends into translation services, with Live Translate, Interpreter, and Chat Assist facilitating seamless communication in 13 languages. The device leverages AI in Android Auto for message summarization and response suggestions, as well as in Samsung Notes, where Note Assist optimizes notes using predefined formats.
Revolutionary Camera System
The camera system is a focal point of innovation, featuring a 200-megapixel main module, a periscopic telephoto module with 5x optical zoom, a 10-megapixel telephoto module with 3x optical zoom, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle module. The ProVisual Engine, coupled with a dedicated ISP Block for noise reduction, introduces generative editing capabilities, allowing users to remove objects and fill empty spaces seamlessly.
Enhanced Nightography and HDR
The Nightography function is enhanced with improved optical image stabilization and hand shake compensation. The ProVision Engine facilitates Instant Slow-mo, generating extra frames for smooth video slowdowns. Super HDR provides a preview in the camera app viewfinder and showcases HDR photos and videos in the Gallery.
Impressive Specifications
With 12GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB, the Galaxy S24 Ultra offers ample power and storage. The 5000 mAh battery supports 45W fast wired charging and 15W fast wireless charging. The device is available in Titanium Gray, Titanium Black, Titanium Violet, and Titanium Yellow colors, running on Android 14 with the proprietary One UI 6.1 shell.
