Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 512GB/256GB
S24 Ultra remains the king…

I have been using the S24 Ultra for almost a full month now, after a full year of using the S23 Ultra, and another full year using the S22 Ultra before that. Although the improvements between every generation might seem incremental, the Ultra remains the absolutely best Android phone every year in a row.
Hightlights of my S24 Ultra:
- The display not only offers an excellent quality, but this year it also increases the brightness to an excellent level that helps a lot outdoors.
- The performance from the new Snapdragon is top as expected, everything is fast and smooth
- The battery lasts me a full day with heavy work and personal use (several work communication and secutity apps installed, plus lots of surfing, chatting and photo taking). Of course by night the battery close to empty and overnight charging is needed but that's fine -- I've never seen any phone last me a second day.
- The cameras remain a huge attraction of the phone, offering almost excellent quality as well as massive flexibility not found on any other phone (0.6x, 1x, 3x, 5x zooms).
- The new 5x zoom produces very high quality photos and is much more usuable field of view versus the previous 10x lens. When a 10x focal length is needed, the cropping from the high-resolution sensor does a great job, so in a way this year we got both a 5x and a 10x zoom lens in one :)
- Finally, the new AI features are really interesting and can prove very useful in specific situations (e.g. the live call translation, or the call/conversation transcript, and of course the AI image editing capabilities that work impressively).
Honestly, it's an unbeatable device that can do anything! If I had to find only one slight concern with the phone, it would be its size and weight, but that is nowadays kind of standard for flagship devices. My ideal compromise would be a device will all the performance and camers of the S24 Ultra without the pen (which works perfectly fine, but I just don't need/use that much) in the slightly smaller/lighter body of the S24 Plus :)
