Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra maintains the design language of the S22 Ultra, elevating materials and finishing to make the premium flagship device even more sophisticated and commanding in appearance. Going beyond that, the new AI-integrated software tackles most tasks that users frequently engage in, such as converting voice recordings into text and summarizing key points automatically, translating phone calls directly into Vietnamese or various other languages, suggesting appropriate fonts for messaging in different contexts, and more. With the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in particular, and the Galaxy S24 Series in general, Artificial Intelligence has never been so intimately connected to us.Titanium material, squared and more premium
In reality, distinguishing between the S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra with the naked eye is quite challenging. Samsung continues to apply what they have done exceptionally well with the recent S Ultra generations to the new version, which, in my opinion, is entirely reasonable. Perhaps, it's not the time for a complete design overhaul as everything is 'on point.' Samsung also wants to cater to last year's customers because the S23 Ultra, or even the S22 Ultra, remains fashionable. My initial impression when holding the Galaxy S24 Ultra is that it doesn't differ much from the S23 Ultra I had the opportunity to use in the first half of last year.
If you look closely at the details, such as the speaker at the bottom edge of the device, the design also has some differences. The buttons on the device are still meticulously crafted and feel secure when pressed. A new point this year is that components like these buttons and some other details inside the device are made from recycled materials or are more environmentally friendly. This is the common direction of most current technology companies, aiming to 'green' the device production process and also make the device more environmentally friendly.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra still comes with the stylus located at the bottom left corner. This compact pen will continue to be a handy tool for those working in the creative content field, allowing for quick sketches of ideas or simply jotting down notes, manipulating small items on the screen much more accurately.The dominance of AI takes center stage
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, upon its market release, will run on the One UI 6.1 interface. The new software brings a plethora of new features, specifically revolving around AI-driven functionalities and artificial intelligence. Integrating AI into smartphones is not something entirely novel. It has always been there to optimize performance when switching to gaming mode, process and deliver the most beautiful photos immediately after capture. Now, AI delves deeper into our daily tasks, those repetitive actions that consume time without us realizing. AI is here to address that.
Next, imagine you're in a meeting or quickly brainstorming ideas for a shoot or a presentation. You use voice recording software to capture the session, and AI can then transcribe it into a complete text. Furthermore, AI will summarize it into key points, categorizing them into different sections, making it easy for you to grasp the essentials after the meeting or from the initial idea. Translating that text into different languages can be done instantly with just a press of a button, without the need for any third-party apps.
When messaging your crush, aiming for sweetness and charm is key. Instead of a plain 'I like you,' use the power of AI to craft a message that ranges from adorable to sophisticated. Now, asking for time off is a breeze. Let AI guide you on composing polite and well-crafted messages. Another AI feature I appreciate is its ability to summarize articles while browsing. Long articles condensed into key points in just seconds, concise and easy to grasp.
Display Brilliance: Peak brightness reaching 2,600 nits
Samsung has gone all out with the S24 Ultra, equipping it with their finest. The Dynamic AMOLED 2X, a 6.8-inch display with a swift 120Hz refresh rate, steals the spotlight. Unlike last year's curved edges, the S24 Ultra boasts a flatter screen, giving it a seamless, cohesive look. Samsung's AMOLED display prowess remains undisputed, delivering sharpness and vibrant colors. The front camera sits within a small punch hole, unobtrusive and leaving the screen content untouched.
The display enhancements on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra are truly remarkable. The screen now boasts a peak brightness of 2600 nits when showcasing HDR content, providing a significantly improved viewing experience. This makes watching HDR content more vibrant, and using the device outdoors allows for easy visibility. The large screen size not only facilitates easy content reading but also serves entertainment needs, such as gaming or watching movies, exceptionally well.Camera: Continual Upgrades for Perfection
Last year, I was incredibly impressed with the real-world photography capabilities of the S23 Ultra after some of my team's camera enthusiasts had the chance to capture images with it. Now, on the new generation, Samsung continues to refine the camera system for even better image quality, especially in low-light conditions. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with a 200MP resolution sensor, featuring pixel binding technology that combines pixels together. It incorporates both optical and electronic image stabilization with powerful algorithms, ensuring higher photo capture performance.
Enhancing the sensor resolution alongside improving the intrinsic image quality, Samsung focuses on delivering even better results when printing photos captured with their latest phone. The device boasts a wide-angle 200 MP camera, complemented by a super-wide 12 MP camera. The telephoto lens offers optical zoom capabilities of 3x (10MP), 5x (50MP), and standard 2x, 10x optical zoom. Samsung highlights the zooming capability in low-light conditions, a feature they call the Night Shadow Eye. Looking forward to Mytour experiencing the camera's performance with these upgrades.Configuration: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 12GB RAM
For a new phone, a new processor is a must. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a crucial factor ensuring swift and seamless execution of AI tasks or camera functions. Manufactured using TSMC's 4nm N4P process, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 promises improved CPU performance by 30% compared to its predecessor while conserving 20% more energy. This processor has previously appeared in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and some other SoCs. However, the key takeaway is the significant boost in CPU performance and energy efficiency.
Compared to its predecessor Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the new NPU on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 not only improves performance but also delivers up to 40% energy efficiency. Qualcomm designed Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to harness the power of on-device AI processing, similar to what Google Tensor G3 is doing. The device is equipped with a whopping 12GB of RAM, ensuring swift and efficient multitasking. Additionally, Samsung has enhanced the device's cooling system to maintain optimal performance even under high workloads generated by the SoC.
The upgraded features of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra mentioned above truly make it an incredibly enticing flagship in the coming time, offering a plethora of conveniences to meet diverse user needs. I am eagerly anticipating getting my hands on the device soon to quickly share my experiences with fellow enthusiasts.
