Galaxy S24 Ultra Display

Boasting a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with QHD+ resolution, this phone has now ditched the curved panel of its predecessor.

The 120Hz refresh rate and Vision Booster technology enhance the display's responsiveness and clarity.

Galaxy S24 Ultra Cameras

Photography enthusiasts will be thrilled with the Galaxy S24 Ultra's camera system. It features a 200MP primary camera with a larger pixel size. It is now 1.4 μm, which is 60% bigger compared to the previous model.

A new 50MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom replaces the previous 10x unit, but the 10MP 3x camera is retained. The 12MP ultrawide and 12MP selfie cameras are retained as well.

Galaxy S24 Ultra Processor

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, the Galaxy S24 Ultra promises exceptional performance. It is worth noting that the other two S24 models come with an Exynos 2400 SoC.

The S24 Ultra comes with an optimal thermal control system with a 1.9x larger vapour chamber, improving device surface temperature while also maximising sustained performance power. Ray tracing enables life-like visuals with superior shadow and reflection effects.

Galaxy S24 Ultra Battery

Its 5,000mAh battery supports 45W fast wired and wireless charging, which is the same as before.

Wireless and reverse wireless charging are also supported.

The phone runs on Android 14 and One UI 6.1, with a whopping 7 years of promised Android OS updates!

The Galaxy S24 Ultra supports 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.3, ensuring seamless connectivity.

Its IP68 rating guarantees water and dust resistance, while Samsung Knox provides robust security to safeguard your data.

Galaxy AI

This year, the S24 series emphasises AI, with all three models showcasing notable AI-driven features.

For example, the 'Live Call Translate' offers real-time translations, both audio and text, during calls using Samsung's phone app, reminiscent of Pixel's Live Caption but more fluid. The 'Chat Assist' provides AI text translation within Samsung’s keyboard.

Additionally, the 'Circle to Search' feature, utilising Google's AI, allows users to circle objects or images to receive instant information, enhancing the Google Lens experience.

Notably, the S24 Ultra enables this feature with the S Pen, appealing to stylus users.

Other AI functionalities include sophisticated photo editing and enhanced nighttime zoom capabilities.
