User Experience Summary
Galaxy S24 Ultra
Strengths
- Camera system remains one of the most versatile on any Android phone
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy still feels fast after more than two years
- Bluetooth-enabled S Pen offers genuine utility Samsung has since removed from newer models
Compromises
- Persistent shutter lag causes missed candid photo moments
- Slow shutter speed in low light blurs moving subjects
- Titanium frame scratches more easily than its marketing suggested
