Flat, bright display
The Galaxy S23 Ultra lost a bit of its display curvature, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will get rid of its altogether. That's either a huge win or a grave disappointment to you, depending on your position on the flat vs curved screen debate. In either case it means that regular glass screen protectors will finally be an option on the Ultra (no adhesive required).
The display will light up to a brighter 2,600 nits but is otherwise the same 6.8-inch 1440x3088px 1-120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X QHD+ panel we've had since the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Camera
There was a lot of speculation around the Galaxy S24 Ultra's camera setup. It seems clear now that Samsung will add a new 5x camera module and it will most likely be a periscope unit with a 50MP sensor. That's around 120mm in optical terms and we expect it to perform double duty as a 10x and 100x shooter as well, by leveraging its superior sensor and optics to the ongoing 10x camera.
We should also see the 200MP main sensor from the Galaxy S23 Ultra, a 10MP 3x zoom that's likely the same as the outgoing one, and a 12MP ultrawide with autofocus, and a 12MP selfie upfront.
A word on video - the main camera will be able to capture 8K at up to 30fps and 4K up to 120fps.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with AI AI AI
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will universally use the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 across the world. It comes paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.
Samsung has reportedly nearly doubled the vapor chamber from the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which would lead to better thermal performance.
Thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be Samsung's 'smartest AI phone ever'. The phone will have on-demand Live Translate - you can speak foreign languages straight in the Phone app and have it translated in real-time. Other AI features will be a Dynamic Lock Screen and Smart Keyboard as part of One UI 6.1.
Battery and charging
The Galaxy S24 Ultra will have the same 5,000mAh battery as its predecessors with the same 45W wired and 15W wireless charging, and the same 0-65% in 30 minutes charging speed.
