The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was also launched alongside the Samsung Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ earlier this morning. The most significant difference on the S24 Ultra is the titanium body design and the use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chip instead of the Exynos 2400 on the other two models in this series.
The device is equipped with a 6.8″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X QHD+ screen of the LTPO type that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. This year the screen has been improved with peak brightness reaching 2600 nits which is higher than 1750 nits on last year's model. With the new Vision Booster, Samsung promises better screen clarity under sunlight. The bezel on the screen is also thinner. S Pen support is maintained, however, no improvements have been made to the specifications of the stylus that uses Wacom technology.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip for Galaxy is matched with a memory of 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, storage up to 1TB UFS 4.0 and a 5000 mAh battery. Charging remains at a maximum level of 45W wired and 15W wirelessly supporting the Qi format.
The main camera consists of a 200MP wide-angle lens, 12MP ultra-wide-angle, 5X 50MP telephoto and 3x 10MP telephoto. Only the ultra-wide-angle lens is not equipped with an OIS system. Meanwhile, on the front, a 12MP sensor is used for selfies. The change this year is a 50MP sensor replacing the 10MP sensor.
This year's focus is entirely on software. First of all, all Samsung Galaxy S24 series devices will be given support for seven Android version updates and seven years of security patches comparable to that offered on the Google Pixel 8 series.
The ability of intelligence has become a bestseller under the umbrella of Galaxy AI. Features such as Call Assist, Chat Assist, and Note Assist use AI built into the device allowing it to function without internet or data being processed in the cloud. Call Assist can translate phone calls in real time while Chat Assist can translate text and change the writing style.

Image editing with the help of AI is also provided which facilitates the process of deleting objects, shadows and reflections on mirrors. The Circle Search with Google feature allows image searches to be performed directly on any screen without taking a screenshot first. These two features require an internet connection to work.
In terms of hardware there are not many improvements but from the software point of view the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra can be said to be the Google Pixel by Samsung since there are many similar AI features.
