In a comprehensive retrospective, G Style Magazine’s Jason Million reflects on his year-long experience with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, highlighting its enduring performance and design.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra features a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness exceeding 2600 nits. Its Corning Gorilla Armor provides anti-scratch and anti-glare properties, allowing Million to forgo a screen protector without encountering scratches, even after multiple drops.
Equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, Adreno 750 GPU, 12GB RAM, and 256GB storage, the S24 Ultra delivers robust performance. Million reports consistent battery life from its 5,000mAh capacity, with no overheating or slowdowns, even during gaming sessions. The stereo speakers, tuned by AKG, provide stellar sound quality.
Running on OneUI 6, the device offers Galaxy AI capabilities, enhancing functionalities like photo editing and multitasking. Users can erase shadows or reflections in photos and manage multiple overlapping windows efficiently. Samsung plans to update the device to OneUI 7, promising further enhancements.
The S24 Ultra’s camera setup includes a 200MP wide lens, 50MP periscope telephoto lens, 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens. The front-facing 12MP camera supports 4K video recording, while the rear cameras can capture up to 8K. With optical zoom capabilities of 3x and 5x, and digital zoom up to 100x, Million found the camera versatile for various scenarios, including low-light conditions and concert recordings.
Even with the release of its successor, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the S24 Ultra remains a reliable and high-performing device, showcasing Samsung’s commitment to quality and innovation.
