Samsung’s latest Galaxy S24 series is the first to be fully equipped with AI, and the S24 Ultra, the highest-end of the three series, is the best Android phone available today. The new Galaxy AI model embedded in the device offers many creative possibilities, including real-time phone call translation, the ability to circle an object on the screen to perform an image-based Google search, AI-powered photo editing and transcription, and there’s even a Chat Assistant feature to figure out how to express messages using different tones.
Like its predecessor the S23 Ultra, the S24 Ultra is equipped with a large 6.8-inch AMOLED display and a reliable 5,000mAh battery. Even though the price has gone up to $1,299 ($100 more than the S23 Ultra), the phone’s upgrades make it worth it: The S24 Ultra is made with a lightweight yet durable titanium frame, compared to last year’s aluminum and there’s Corning Armor’s newest Gorilla.
