Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra - perfection again?

A flagship smartphone from a well-known manufacturer is not just a means of making calls or a beautiful accessory. It contains all the advanced technologies that modern mobile electronics can demonstrate, as well as the work of recognized designers. And the hero of today’s review perfectly shows the full potential of the eminent developer.

The appearance of the new product is quite conservative, there are few differences from its predecessor. But it’s hard to call such a fact a disadvantage. The display frames have become slightly smaller, the design of the four photo modules is the same. A variety of colors for the back panels made of tempered glass, a side edging that pleasantly cools the palm, and an ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint scanner make the exterior strict and stylish. The case can also accommodate a high-quality stylus, which is included in the kit. The 6.8-inch AMOLED panel simply has no disadvantages. The highest resolution of 3088x1440 pixels, an impressive 120 Hz picture refresh rate, impeccable color reproduction, an effective oleophobic layer - you can only find fault with the AMOLED screen in one aspect, namely the value of the PWM effect. People who are sensitive to it will still experience discomfort when using the phablet for a long time.

Today you cannot find more productive technical characteristics than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU, 12GB of RAM and the Adreno 750 video core. The Android 14 interface has never been so smooth and responsive, it is difficult to see any ping when launching applications. Of course, scoring more than two million points in the AnTuTu benchmark is also great in games. Maximum graphics settings and a frame rate of more than 55-60 frames per second will be relevant even for the resource-intensive Genshin Impact. Throttling is low, and the good energy efficiency of the chipset allows you to get about 7-8 hours of active screen time from a 5000 mAh battery. Wireless charging is present (15W), but the power of the wired analogue has been saved again (only 45W).

But the photo capabilities of the gadget are some of the best on the market. The technologically advanced 200-megapixel main sensor and a pair of telephoto lenses (50MP and 5x Zoom, 10MP and 3x zoom) have a sophisticated hybrid stabilization system, and the 12-megapixel wide-angle camera does not disappoint. In virtually any shooting scenario, it is not difficult to obtain a detailed shot with extremely realistic color rendition. The volume of stereo sound exceeds 90dB, while the frequency response is quite flat. Add IP68 water resistance, NFC contactless payments and a competitive price to all of the above and you get an all-round superior device.
