The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a top-of-the-line Android smartphone that leverages advanced AI capabilities, particularly powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. It offers a wide range of features aimed at enhancing productivity, and communication, and simplifying tasks that once required specialized knowledge.

However, whether it's the best Android smartphone available depends on individual needs and preferences. Its generative AI features promise innovative functionalities, but their effectiveness may vary based on usage. To determine if it's the right choice, let's delve into its performance and user experience.
➥ Galaxy S24 Ultra: Design
The new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is similar to last year's S23 Ultra but has some changes. It has a flat-screen instead of a curved one, making it look different. The screen is big at 6.82 inches and has thinner borders and a smaller front camera hole compared to the S23 Ultra.
The screen is protected by strong Gorilla Armor glass that reduces reflections a lot. The phone also has a titanium frame like Apple's top phones, making it feel fancy and easy to hold. Despite the titanium, it's not heavier.

The back of the phone is frosted, but we don't know what glass it is. The S24 Ultra is dust-resistant and can handle being in water for 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters.

The S24 series comes with One UI 6.1, which is Samsung's version of Android 14. It's not a big update, and some things about Samsung's software still bother me, like unnecessary notifications and apps, and clickbait links in the weather app.

You can remove a lot of Samsung's stuff and use One UI peacefully. The good news is that Samsung promises seven years of updates, which is great for getting the most out of your phone.
Now, let's talk about the main feature: Galaxy AI. The S24 Ultra has many AI features, but they feel more like separate tools rather than a cohesive set. For example, live translation is cool for short talks, but it can be funny and not very accurate sometimes.
The automatic note and voice transcript summaries are handy. They're not perfect, but they give you a starting point, especially when you don't have anything else.
There's also "Circle to Search," a Google feature on the S24 Ultra. It lets you search for things by circling them on your screen. It's simple and helpful, especially with Google's improvements to searching.

There are more AI features, like adding emojis to messages or summarizing web pages, but they're not as useful to me. And, of course, there's AI in the S24 Ultra's camera, but that's a whole other story.

The battery is big too, with fast charging, but you'll need to buy a special charger separately to make it charge really fast.
It runs on a new version of Android called One UI 6.1, which has lots of cool features and will get updates for a long time.
There are some small changes in the design and features compared to older models, but overall it's still a great phone with some extra features like an S Pen for drawing and editing pictures.
➥ Galaxy S24 Ultra: Performance
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has a really nice screen, it's big and clear, which makes it easy to see everything, especially in bright sunlight. It's also tough, so it won't easily break if you accidentally drop it.
Inside, it's got a super-fast processor made by Qualcomm, which means everything runs smoothly, like apps opening quickly and games playing without any lag. Plus, it stays cool even when you're doing intense stuff like gaming or editing videos.
The battery lasts a long time, even with heavy use, and you can charge it up pretty quickly with a special charger. You can even make the battery last longer by adjusting some settings on the phone.

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a great phone for everyday use, with a great screen, fast performance, and long battery life.
➥ Galaxy S24 Ultra: Camera
The cameras on the S24 Ultra are like the ones on the S23 Ultra, except for one big change — they replaced the 10x lens with a 5x lens and a better sensor. Some people are upset about losing the 10x lens because it was cool to take pictures of faraway things like planes. Now, the S24 Ultra uses crop zoom to make it seem like it has a 10x zoom, but some images might look a bit fuzzy compared to the S23 Ultra's.
Overall, there aren't many big changes from last year. Samsung still makes colors look very vivid, and the portrait mode is still great. The S24 Ultra now supports Ultra HDR, which makes photos look more vibrant, and you can even upload these photos to Instagram.
Samsung added some AI editing features that let you do cool stuff like moving objects in photos or making slow-motion videos. These features work pretty well but might not be perfect, especially with complicated edits or backgrounds.

The S24 Ultra costs $100 more than last year's model, but it doesn't seem like you're getting $100 more value, especially since most of the new features are also available on the cheaper S24 and S24 Plus.
