Design

When comparing the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to its predecessor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, one notices a shift in design. The new model features a more squared look with a front and rear straight design, moving away from the curved outline of the previous generation. Its dimensions remain similar (79 x 162.3 x 8.6mm), and it retains the S Pen stylus, weighing in at 232 grams. Additionally, it includes a titanium frame and comes in four colors: titanium gray, black, twilight purple, and feather yellow. The Galaxy S24 and S24+ follow the design cues of their predecessors, sporting an aluminum alloy frame and straight screen design in four colors: ink black, elegant rock gray, secret mineral purple, and light amber yellow. Samsung Mall is reportedly offering exclusive colors for these three models.

Screen

The Galaxy S24 series also sees improvements in its screen features. The Galaxy S24 Ultra continues with a 6.8-inch hole-punch screen and a narrower quad bezel design. The screen sizes of the S24 and S24+ have increased to 6.2 and 6.7 inches, respectively. While the S24 maintains an FHD+ resolution, the S24+ and S24 Ultra both offer QHD+ resolutions and support 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rates. All three models use second-generation dynamic AMOLED screens, with peak brightness boosted from 1,750nit to 2,600nit. They are also covered in Corning’s latest Gorilla Glass Armor, which, according to officials, cuts down reflection by 75% and quadruples scratch resistance.

The two telephoto lenses have shifted from 10x to 5x optical zoom and now feature 50-megapixel sensors, while the 3x zoom lens keeps its 10-megapixel specifications.
