Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 5G

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra features a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and an impressive 3088 x 1440 resolution (~505 ppi). It delivers up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness, making it one of the brightest smartphone screens available and fully readable under direct sunlight. Corning Gorilla Glass Armor protects the front, offering enhanced scratch resistance and reduced glare.

Colors are vivid and accurate with Samsung's AMOLED technology, and the high pixel density ensures text and photos appear razor-sharp. Whether you're watching HDR10+ content, editing photos, or using the S Pen for detailed illustrations, this display is a genuine showcase piece.

The S24 Ultra's camera system is anchored by a 200MP main sensor capable of capturing staggering amounts of detail. It's complemented by a 12MP ultrawide, a 10MP 3x optical zoom telephoto, and a 50MP 5x periscope telephoto that enables up to 100x Space Zoom. This four-lens array means you're covered from wide-angle landscapes to distant subjects without sacrificing quality.

On the front, a 12MP selfie camera handles video calls and portraits with aplomb. Samsung's Galaxy AI processing brings Generative Edit, which can intelligently remove objects or reframe shots, and ProVisual Engine enhances low-light performance across all lenses. Video recording goes up to 8K at 30fps on the main sensor.

The S24 Ultra is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery that comfortably delivers a full day of heavy use. Under typical mixed usage — streaming, social media, camera, and calls — most users report all-day endurance with battery to spare at bedtime.

Charging is handled by 45W wired fast charging (cable not included) that can top up the battery significantly in under an hour. Wireless charging at 15W provides a convenient cable-free option, and reverse wireless charging lets you top up Galaxy Buds or a Galaxy Watch directly from the phone.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra runs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy — a specially tuned version of Qualcomm's flagship chip — across all markets. Paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, it handles demanding tasks including 4K video editing, AI-powered photo processing, and graphics-intensive gaming at maximum settings without any throttling or hesitation.

The chip also powers Samsung Galaxy AI features like real-time translation, on-device Generative Edit, and Circle to Search. Benchmark scores place it among the fastest Android processors available, and it's built on a 4nm process for efficient power management.

The 128GB base configuration provides substantial room for apps, photos, and media, though heavy camera users shooting in full 200MP resolution will want to be mindful of storage usage. There is no microSD slot, so the 128GB on this model is what you have. Samsung offsets this with seamless integration with Samsung Cloud and Google One for photo and backup storage.

The S24 Ultra features a tuned stereo speaker system co-developed with AKG. Sound is loud, clear, and surprisingly full-bodied for a smartphone, with well-separated stereo imaging when watching videos in landscape orientation. Dolby Atmos support further enhances the listening experience across music, movies, and games.

Samsung equipped the S24 Ultra with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor — the same reliable technology found in previous Ultra models. This sensor works quickly and accurately, even with wet fingers, and is more secure than optical alternatives. Face unlock is also available as a secondary biometric option for quick glance-to-unlock convenience.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra carries an IP68 rating, the highest standard rating available on consumer smartphones. It can withstand submersion in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to 30 minutes. This rating covers accidental drops in the pool, rain, or splashes without any concern. Samsung also designed the built-in S Pen with the same IP68 rating.
