Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra presents itself as the emblem of power and innovation in the panorama of flagship smartphones of 2024, embodying an almost perfect synthesis between top-level hardware, advanced features based on artificial intelligence and a design that, while following the guidelines of its predecessors, it introduces significant innovations and tangible improvements. At the heart of this review is the user experience that the Galaxy S24 Ultra offers: a device that never fails to amaze with its ability to respond fluidly to every user need, be it related to work, entertainment or creativity. The presence of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 guarantees top-of-the-range performance, supported by 12GB of RAM and internal memory variants ranging from 256GB up to 1TB, depending on the user's space needs.
The design of the device stands out for the choice of a completely flat display, a decision which, in addition to representing a change of direction compared to the trend of curved screens, significantly improves daily usability, reducing accidental touch errors. The titanium finish, available in different colors, contributes to a refined yet robust aesthetic, with improved scratch resistance thanks to the new Gorilla Glass Armor. The quality of the display is indisputable, with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits which makes the screen readable even in direct sunlight, an increasingly indispensable feature in daily use. Samsung's decision to focus on reducing screen reflectivity by up to 75% translates into significantly increased visual comfort, confirming the company as the undisputed leader in the smartphone display sector.
From a photographic point of view, the Galaxy S24 Ultra does not disappoint, offering a setup consisting of a 200 megapixel main camera, two telephoto lenses (one 10MP 3x and one 50MP 5x), a 12 megapixel ultrawide and a 12 megapixel front camera . The replacement of the 10x lens with a more versatile 5x, although it may displease lovers of the previous extreme zoom, turns out to be a choice justified by the more frequent and practical use of this focal length. The artificial intelligence, moreover, does its best when it comes to rendering images taken in low light or from far away: the automatic postproduction is truly impressive. Image quality is excellent, with vibrant color rendition and sharp detail even at advanced zoom conditions.
AI-based features, while presented as the core of the user experience, manifest themselves as a collection of useful but not always cohesive tools. Features such as real-time translation during calls, automatic generation of summaries for voice recordings and the ability to turn any video into slow motion demonstrate the potential of AI, but do not always reach a level of integration that revolutionizes the daily use of the device. The Circles and Search function in collaboration with Google is very useful, which allows you to search for any element except people on Google, simply by pressing on the screen at any time and circling what interests you. For this purpose it is also possible to use the included S Pen, which activates a whole series of extra functions well known to Galaxy Ultra fans.
Despite the general high quality and the innovations made, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is not free from defects: mainly its high price (starts at 1,499 euros but with 1TB of ROM reaches 1,859), in addition to the lack of a real leap in quality compared to the previous model and to some aspects of the design that may not meet the approval of all users. In particular, the move to a flat screen, while improving usability, introduces sharper corners that can be uncomfortable during prolonged holding. Having now reached the pinnacle of its evolution, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra confirms itself as a flagship device in the smartphone sector, capable of offering a high-level user experience thanks to its exceptional performance, the quality of the display and the advanced photography.
