Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra First Impression: Familiar but different

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra First Impression: South Korean tech major Samsung has unveiled its latest Galaxy S24 Series comprising three smartphones - Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24. The latest Series is loaded with Galaxy AI that promises a whole new level of experience to users. While these smartphones are yet to be made available in the market, here is the first impression of Galaxy S24 Ultra - which looks familiar in design but is different from its predecessor in several ways.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra First Impression: Design

Nothing has changed in terms of design. This is what I thought but I was proved wrong the moment I held the device in my hand. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is not just slimmer but also feels lighter and offers better grip while holding in the hand. Also, it is slightly larger and wider than its predecessor. Everything else looks familiar.

Also, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the first device to come with a titanium frame and this means that the device is going to be more durable this time. The matte finish at the back makes it resistant to fingerprints and smudges.  

Dimensions and Weight

Galaxy S24 Ultra - 79 X 162.3 X 8.6mm, 233g

G3alaxy S23 Ultra - 78.1 X 163.4 X 8.9mm, 234g

Also, this time the device comes in some vibrant colours like Titanium Violet and Titanium Yellow along with Titanium Gray, and Titanium Black.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra First Impression: Display

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with a flat display this time and there are very thin and symmetrical bezels across all sides. Also, the display is protected by Corning Gorilla Armor. This makes the display more durable against damage caused by everyday scratches. It offers an adaptive refresh rate of 1 to 120Hz.

The display is very responsive and feels smooth while switching between different apps.

S Pen remains the same and there is no upgrade. However, this now comes in the same colour as the device - Titanium Gray in my case.
