Despite the new AI features, the main reasons to consider the Ultra over the S24 plus and regular S24 are the larger screen, the extra camera, and the S Pen. The S24 Ultra starts at $1,300, making it a significant investment. The reviewer suggests that Samsung missed an opportunity by not including more exclusive Galaxy AI features on the S24 Ultra.
Key takeaways:
- The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the first phone to launch with Galaxy AI, a set of features powered by generative AI, which creates content in response to prompts based on training data.
- Despite its high cost, the Galaxy S24 Ultra does not offer exclusive AI features, as these are available across all of Samsung's Galaxy S24 phones, making it hard to justify the price.
- The S24 Ultra runs on Qualcomm's new Snapdragon eight Gen three processor, has a brighter screen, and a new 50 megapixel telephoto camera that offers crisper shots at a five x Zoom.
- While the Galaxy S24 Ultra has impressive features, it is recommended only for those who value the large screen, extra camera, and the spen, and are willing to pay top dollar for them.
