When looking for a smartphone, we often seek the perfect blend of innovation, durability, and functionality. Enter the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, a device that promises to redefine our smartphone experience. Today, we’ll take a close look at the features, performance, and overall user experience of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Display
Let’s kick off with what immediately grabs attention, the display. While curved edges dominate the market, the S24 Ultra stands out with its flat display, providing a distinctive aesthetic charm. With a generous 6.8″ Dynamic LTPO AMOLED screen, this device treats users to breathtaking visuals that retain their crispness and vibrancy over extended use. The bezel-less design elevates immersion, while the inclusion of an anti-glare coating guarantees excellent visibility, even in glaring environments.
But what about durability? We’ve all experienced that sinking feeling when a device slips from our grasp. Fear not, as the S24 Ultra is equipped with Corning Gorilla Armor, safeguarding its display against the perils of accidental drops. With five drops under its belt in two months, the display remains unscathed, a testament to its robust build.
Design & Build
Speaking of resilience, the S24 Ultra doesn’t compromise on durability elsewhere. Encased in a glass back with Corning Gorilla Armor and a grade 2 titanium frame, this device is built to withstand the rigors of daily use. While its design may not be the most eye-catching, its ability to shrug off daily drops is a trade-off many would gladly accept.
Given its exceptional durability, the S24 Ultra carries a weight of 233g, which lends it a substantial feel when held, thereby placing it on the heavier side of the spectrum.
