The Ultra will boast 4 rear camera lenses including a groundbreaking 200-megapixel main camera. This powerhouse captures stunning detail and clarity, even in low-light conditions. It also features a 12MP ultrawide lens, a 50MP telephoto lens, with 5x optical zoom, plus a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.

Performance

The S24 series comes armed with the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which promises substantial performance and efficiency improvements. It boasts a more powerful CPU, GPU, and NPU, all with jaw-dropping efficiency compared to the previous chip. Immerse yourself in smoother gameplay, and witness unprecedented lighting and shadows thanks to improved ray tracing.

Battery
  • Galaxy S24: 4000 mAh
  • Galaxy S24 Plus: 4900 mAh
  • Galaxy S24 Ultra: 5000 mAh

Both phones pack larger batteries this year, with the S24 jumping to 4,000 mAh (+100 mAh) and the S24 Plus reaching 4,900 mAh (+200 mAh). That means more juice for everyday adventures!

Is it worth getting the S24?

If you’re upgrading from the S23 to the S24, it might not be worth it unless you’re searching to have a faster SnapDragon 8 Gen 3 chip for things such as Google AI, faster gaming processes, and better battery life.

However, if you’re upgrading from an older Samsung Galaxy model, consider getting the S24! You’ll experience a major boost in performance, camera quality, display vibrancy, and overall features.
