Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra debuts with a premium 6.8-inch display and top-tier cameras
The Galaxy S24 Ultra was unveiled during Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event, introducing the newest flagship model in the Galaxy line. The device centers on a large flat-edge AMOLED panel that measures 6.8 inches, delivering a resolution of 1440 by 3088 pixels and a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. It supports HDR ten plus content and reaches bright peaks, making outdoor viewing crisp and vibrant. At the top, a small circular cutout houses the 12 MP front camera, enabling 4K video capture.
Powering the phone is the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor, capable of push frequencies up to 3.3 GHz, paired with the Adreno 750 GPU running around 1 GHz. Base RAM is 12 GB, with storage options ranging from 256 GB to 1 TB. This combination targets demanding apps, multitasking, and high-end gaming, while maintaining efficiency for everyday use.
The camera system is a standout feature, led by a 200 MP main sensor. Complementing it are a 20 MP periscope telephoto with fivefold zoom, a 10 MP telephoto with threefold zoom, and a 12 MP ultra-wide lens. Together, they offer a versatile setup for architectural shots, portraits with depth, and expansive landscapes.
Battery and charging are solid with a 5000 mAh capacity. The device supports 45 W wired charging, 15 W wireless charging, and 4.5 W reverse charging, keeping the phone ready for heavy use during long days away from a power source.
Durability is addressed with IP68 water and dust resistance, while the chassis uses titanium for a stronger, lighter frame that helps the phone handle daily wear. This marks the first time Samsung has incorporated titanium into a Galaxy handset, signaling a shift toward more premium materials in the lineup.
Pricing details indicate a premium entry point, with pre-orders opening at a starting price around $1,449. This figure places the S24 Ultra in the high-end segment and reflects the advanced hardware and materials used in its construction.
