Our Take
Samsung's flagship phablet for 2024, aimed at power users, S Pen loyalists and anyone wanting the most feature-packed Android money can buy. The titanium-framed S24 Ultra sits at the very top of Samsung's range, competing directly with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and this 256GB black model is the sensible entry point into the range.
Key Features
6.8-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED display with adaptive 120Hz refresh rate
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor with 12GB RAM
200MP main camera plus ultrawide, 10x periscope zoom and 3x telephoto lenses
Built-in S Pen stylus stored in the chassis, no separate charging needed
Titanium frame with Gorilla Glass Armor front and back, IP68 rated
5000mAh battery with 45W wired charging (charger sold separately)
Our Verdict
Buy this if you want the most complete Android experience going, especially if you'll actually use the S Pen or the zoom camera. If you don't need the stylus or flagship cameras, a Galaxy S24 or S24+ - or a mid-ranger - will save considerable money without much everyday compromise.
