Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 12 GB / 1 TB / International / SM-S9280L technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra suits anyone looking for a large, complete phone for photography, gaming, advanced connectivity and long software support. Its main trade-off is weight: at 233 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time.
The 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display combines 505 ppi, 2,600 nits and an 88.5% usable surface. These figures are among the best or better than most phones launched around the same time. Its 120 Hz refresh rate is typical. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 12 GB of RAM and UFS 4.0 storage put the hardware better than most, while this version has 256 GB and no expandable storage.
The main camera pairs 200 MP with a 1/1.3-inch sensor, an f/1.7 aperture and optical image stabilization. The telephoto camera adds 3x optical zoom; those resolution and zoom figures are among the best of its time or better than most. Video recording reaches 8K, with slow motion at 240 fps. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, 5G, eSIM, USB 3.2 and Samsung DeX. The 5,000 mAh battery is typical, but 15 W wireless charging is among the best. The phone is sold from 12 GB / 256 GB to 12 GB / 1 TB. It is expensive for what it is, yet its 8.6 NeoScore places it among the best phones of its time.
