Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (starting at $1,299.99) keeps the legacy of the Galaxy Note alive as the only phone in Samsung’s lineup featuring the S Pen stylus. It’s a powerhouse, offering a unique blend of cutting-edge processor, stunning display, advanced camera system, AI features, and integrated stylus that you won’t find together in any other device. If you can do without the S Pen or extra zoom, the more compact and budget-friendly Galaxy S24+ (starting at $999.99) might be more your speed. However, the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s uncompromising performance makes it our top pick for premium Android smartphones.
- Design: Bold, Large , and Titanium
- Priced at $1,299, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the biggest and priciest model in the S24 lineup, which also features the $799 Galaxy S24 and the $999 Galaxy S24+. What sets the Ultra apart is its boxier design, integrated S Pen stylus, and more advanced long-range camera system, offering features beyond its more affordable counterparts.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is undeniably large, with dimensions of 6.40 by 3.11 by 0.34 inches and a weight of 8.22 ounces. Although it’s only 0.03 ounces lighter than the S23 Ultra, the updated design gives it a slightly lighter feel. That said, it’s still a hefty device, not ideal for those who prefer using their phone one-handed. For a more compact option, the Galaxy S24 (5.79 by 2.78 by 0.30 inches, 5.93 ounces) and S24+ (6.2 by 3.0 by 0.30 inches, 6.95 ounces) are smaller, lighter, and have a more rounded design.
The S24 Ultra features Corning Gorilla Armor to safeguard its display, which Corning claims is the most durable smartphone glass they produce. Additionally, Gorilla Armor is designed to be less reflective, potentially reducing glare by up to 75% depending on the lighting. In testing, the Ultra noticeably minimizes reflections compared to other phones, giving the screen a nearly paper-like appearance.
The front glass of the S24 Ultra is fully flat, a shift from the curved screens of previous models. According to Samsung, this design change was driven by user feedback. The flat display enhances S Pen functionality by reducing the likelihood of the curved edges misinterpreting palm contact as input. Additionally, writing on a flat surface significantly improves the overall drawing experience compared to curved glass.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is available in Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, Titanium Violet, and Titanium Yellow. The gray and violet models feature a gray titanium frame, while the black and yellow variants come with color-matched frames. For additional color options, Samsung’s website offers exclusive Titanium Blue, Titanium Green, and Titanium Orange versions, with the blue and green featuring a dark gray frame, and the orange sporting a lighter gray one. Unlike the Ultra, which uses titanium, the S24 and S24+ models use Samsung’s Armor Aluminum. The included S Pen matches the titanium frame, except for the yellow model, which comes with a dark gray stylus.
