Samsung's latest Galaxy S24 line is the first to feature AI, and the S24 Ultra, the most premium of the three, impressed us the most. The new Galaxy AI model built into the device brings a host of generative features, including real-time phone call translation, the ability to circle an object on the screen to perform an image-based Google search, AI-assisted photo editing and transcriptions, and even a Chat Assist feature to understand how to phrase a message in different tones.
Like its predecessor, the S23 Ultra, the S24 Ultra features a large 6.8-inch AMOLED display and a reliable 5,000 mAh battery. Although the price has increased to $1,299 ($100 more than the S23 Ultra), the phone's improvements are worth it: the S24 Ultra is made of a lightweight but durable titanium frame, compared to last year's aluminum, and features Corning's new Gorilla. Armor.

The difference in screen protection means the S24 Ultra is more anti-glare than ever, which ZDNET reviewer Jason Hiner suggested “makes its screen nicer to use than the iPhone 15 Pro Max and d 'other flagship phones'. Reddit users appear to agree with Hiner, including one who said he believes that “anti-reflective glass Really It makes a difference.”
Under the hood, the S24 Ultra features an upgraded Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset for improved graphics and AI features, 12GB of RAM (an increase from last year's 8GB), and 2,600 nits of brightness – a big improvement from last year’s 1,750. As for the new camera system, the big upgrade comes in the form of a 50 MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. The results, as Hiner discovered, were sharper and less noisy images, as well as an overall camera system capable of absorbing more light than ever before.
