The Galaxy S24 Ultra is the Swiss army knife of phones. It is a monolithic slab of premium titanium and glass that can pretty much do everything. Between the powerful software, the stylus, the top chip, long battery life, tremendous screen and the super adaptable camera that out zooms the...

Pros: fantastic screen, the most capable camera with 3x, 5x and 10x optical zoom, new AI tools, good software with seven years support, S Pen stylus, top performance, very long battery life, contains recycled materials.

Cons: massive, heavy, extremely expensive, S Pen may be superfluous feature for many, AI features not a reason to buy.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a phone that seems to do it all, with a high-end display, versatile cameras, excellent battery life and unique GenAI capabilities – but all that tech comes with a very high asking price.

Genuinely useful AI features, Versatile camera setup, All-day battery life and then some, Seven years of OS upgrades

Very expensive, Average ultrawide camera

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is a brilliant all-rounder, but it lacks some subtlety in the picture and sound departments, holding it back from true stardom Bright and punchy screen Genuinely useful AI features Solid and high-quality build Pricier than a certain competitor Lacks subtlety in picture and sound...

This is the best smartphone Samsung has ever made.

Best battery life I've seen in a few years, Incredibly bright, and anti-reflective display, Corning's Gorilla Armor is impressive, 7 years(!) of software updates, Great camera, but a slight step back from S23 Ultra

Charging speeds are still a bit on the slow side, Expensive, now with a $100 price bump, Cameras struggle with movement

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is packed with top-tier hardware, but its highly touted AI features are hit-or-miss — and the price is higher than ever.

Screen is bright and anti-glare keeps it easy to use outdoors, Circle to Search and call translation are really handy, Camera quality is excellent, Seven years of OS and security updates

Expensive, Heavy, AI features are a mixed bag

“The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is one of the most complete, most capable, and most creatively versatile smartphones we've ever used.”

High performance processor, Improved telephoto cameras, Flatter screen aids S Pen use, Battery will last two days, Long software support, Durable build and materials, Circle to Search by Google

Unfortunate price increase, Speakers easily covered up, Chat Assist is almost unusable, Charging speeds are only average

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is arguably the best Android phone you can get right now.

Great build, Excellent camera, Top-tier performance, Stunning display, AI features are cool

Expensive

The Galaxy S24 Ultra's new AI tricks show promise, but you don't need to splurge on Samsung's top-of-the-line phone to get them.

The AI phone is secretly just a really good smartphone
