Hands-on With Samsung’s New S24 Ultra: First Impressions

A Premium Design That Stands Out

The S24 Ultra lives up to its ‘premium’ branding with a sleek glass and metal design. It looks and feels like a high-end device that justifies the price tag. The massive 6.9-inch display is stunning, with vibrant colours and sharp detail. The almost bezel-less Infinity-O display and punch-hole front camera are futuristic. This is a smartphone that will turn heads.

Blazing Fast Performance

Under the hood, the S24 Ultra packs some serious power with its Snapdragon 888 chipset and 12GB of RAM. Everything from launching apps to multitasking felt instantaneous. The enhanced gaming capabilities made graphics-intensive games run smoothly with no lag. If you want a powerhouse device that can handle anything, the S24 Ultra fits the bill.

An Impressive Camera Setup

The S24 Ultra features an impressive quad camera array, including a 108MP wide-angle lens, 12MP telephoto, and dual 10MP and 5MP lenses for super-wide and macro shots respectively. Zooming in on subjects was effortless with the 5x optical and up to 100x digital Space Zoom. Night mode produced bright, detailed low-light photos. For selfies, the 40MP front camera captured natural-looking shots. Overall, the S24 Ultra could rival a professional camera.

With premium design, top-notch performance, an amazing display and camera setup, the S24 Ultra makes a compelling case for being the best smartphone currently available. The next big thing in tech is here, and it was worth the wait.
