Is the Galaxy S24 Ultra worth it over the S23 Ultra?

If you already own an S23 Ultra, the gains are mostly the flatter, brighter screen and the titanium frame. The camera and battery are close, so the upgrade matters less than for buyers coming from an older phone.

How does it compare with the Galaxy S25 Ultra?

The S24 Ultra keeps the S Pen silo and a 5x optical zoom, while the S25 Ultra is lighter and adds a 50MP ultrawide camera. Both share the same 6.8-inch size class and long update commitment.

Does it have a headphone jack or microSD slot?

No. There is no headphone jack and no microSD slot, so storage is fixed at purchase. The 512GB version gives ample room for photos and video.

How long does the battery last?

The 5,000mAh battery typically lasts a full day of mixed use, and heavier users often reach evening with charge to spare. Charging is wired or wireless, but slower than some rivals.

Samsung ships the phone with a USB-C cable and a SIM tool; there is no charger or case included. You will need your own USB-C power adapter.

Does the S Pen come with it?

Yes. The S Pen is included and slides into a slot in the phone's body, so it is always with you.

Our take on the Samsung SM-S928B Galaxy S24 Ultra - 512GB - Orange

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is Samsung's top-tier flagship phone, built around a 6.8-inch flat AMOLED display, a titanium frame, and an S Pen that stores inside the body. It stands out for its 200MP main camera with 5x optical zoom, a bright anti-reflective screen, and seven years of promised Android and security updates. It suits people who want the most capable Android phone for photos, notes and multitasking, though it is large and heavy next to slimmer rivals. Reviewers consistently praise the camera versatility and battery life while calling out the size and the modest year-over-year gains.
