Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.7/10
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra`s AI features take centre stage, and some of them are quite useful as well. Leave those out, and you`re left with a premium smartphone that comes across as an incremental upgrade but delivers in all aspects — performance, battery life, cameras & more. The S Pen & other productivity features make it a powerhouse that should be apt for professionals, creative folks, & power users in general. As long as they can digest the pricing.
Pros
- AI & productivity features
- Strong performance & battery life
- Good display & cameras
- Useful S Pen
Cons
- Big and heavy
- Pricey
- AI features won`t appeal to everyone
AI features

Covered under the umbrella term of Galaxy AI are a bunch of AI features, sprinkled across various tasks and functions. Here's an overview:

Design and display
+
When it comes to the Galaxy S24 ultra design, Samsung hasn't really broken the mould and largely stuck to the same design language as the predecessor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra (review). However, the S24 Ultra does get a new titanium frame (read: it's stronger and lighter), along with a flat screen which I think is a welcome change… makes the phone easier to grip, reduces false touches, makes the S Pen easier to use and if you prefer additional screen protection as I do — makes screen protectors easier to apply. Otherwise, the S24 Ultra isn't drastically different from its predecessor, and you might not be able to tell the two apart from a distance. You might even be able to use an existing S23 Ultra case with the S24 Ultra — one out of the two S23 Ultra cases I had worked just fine (well, almost). The placement of the ports and controls is typical, and the S Pen silo is located at its usual place on bottom left. The IP68 rating is there too, as expected.

Camera
+
The shooting apparatus on the Galaxy S24 Ultra is largely the same as its predecessor, and includes a 200MP primary camera, a 10MP 3x telephoto, and a 12MP ultrawide. The 10MP 10x telephoto from last year has been replaced by a 50MP 5x snapper — so you get higher resolution at the cost of zoom levels here. There isn't much difference in image quality from what I can make out, and 5x shots do turn out better for the most part. Overall, the Galaxy S24 Ultra produces great results across a variety of different shooting conditions — with signature Samsung vividness, sharpness and clarity. The S24 Ultra absolutely shines in long-range zoom shots. Okay, 100x shots can still show a water painting effect, but overall, still beat similar shots captured by rival phones that boast hyper zoom. Worth mentioning that apps like Instagram and Snapchat support the S24 Ultra's cameras natively, thereby allowing you to utilise the features when you post on these social networks.

Software and S Pen
+
Android 14 with One UI 6.1 form the software side of things, with a bunch of apps preloaded… from Google, Microsoft, and of course, Samsung itself. Call it bloatware if you will, and there's redundancy in terms of a few apps (like gallery and browser) as well, but some of the ones you don't need can be uninstalled. Samsung's ecosystem of apps and services is there in all its glory and I think that's one of the key benefits only a Samsung flagship can boast — everything from Samsung Notes to Cloud, the capabilities tied to the Samsung account (online backup and restore, Find your phone, etc), Secure Folder, Samsung Pass, Samsung Wallet, and quite a few others — they're all quite useful to have. Not to mention DeX, the feature that allows you to connect your phone to a large screen wirelessly or over HDMI, and get a desktop-like environment most apt for serious work.

Performance and battery
+
With Qualcomm's latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 at its helm, how can performance be an issue? The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra handles tasks, light or heavy, with utmost ease. The user experience is extremely smooth and there are no lags or jitters whatsoever. Of course, it can handle games quite well too, though I doubt anyone would consider the S24 Ultra purely from a gaming perspective. The smartphone score high on most benchmarks, and while there's some throttling seen in the CPU Throttle test, that doesn't show up in regular use and the phone keeps its cool when it's driven hard and subjected to heavy usage.
