Well, these smartphones have been revealed with a lot of upgrades, and the major upgrade among them is the AI. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series is more about AI this time than ever before. Samsung has infused the Galaxy AI in its latest Galaxy S24 series. To accomplish this, the South Korean brand has collaborated with Google.
I am comparing the all-new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Let’s go!
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: Design
From the looks of it, the new Galaxy S24 Ultra looks exactly the same. However, there are some big changes in the design as well. First of all, we get a flat design this time. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra featured a curved display. However, the Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with a flat display and back. The mid-frame has also been changed to Titanium from last year’s Aluminium. Samsung has also made the Ultra model a little thinner than last year. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra now measures 8.6mm, whereas the Galaxy S23 Ultra is 8.9mm.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: Performance
Before we get into hardware, let’s talk about the software first. The biggest upgrade in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the AI, be it a software upgrade or a general upgrade. Samsung has infused the Galaxy AI into its new Samsung Galaxy S series. The Galaxy AI is based on Google’s Gemini AI larger models. It can help users in so many ways such as communication, editing, searching, and more. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the first Samsung smartphone that is packed with AI at its core. About comparison, the Galaxy S23 Ultra didn’t have Galaxy AI, so the case is closed!
Talking about their hardware, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy SoC. It is paired with up to 12GB RAM and 1TB storage. It runs on OneUI 6.1 skin that is based on the latest Android 14. Interestingly, with this smartphone, Samsung will offer up to 7 years of software updates.
On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, coupled with up to 12GB RAM and 1TB storage. It runs on last year’s Android 13-based OneUI 5.1 skin but is upgradable to Android 14.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: Camera
Samsung changed the 10-megapixel Periscope Telephoto sensor from the Galaxy S23 Ultra to the 50-megapixel Telephoto sensor in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Now, the twist here is that the 10-megapixel Periscope Telephoto sensor had up to 10x optical zoom, whereas the new 50-megapixel Telephoto sensor can only zoom up to 5x without pixelating the image. However, it’s a 50-megapixel sensor, so I don’t think it will make much of a difference.
Apart from that, the camera configuration is the same in both smartphones. They are equipped with a 200-megapixel OIS primary camera, a 10-megapixel Telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, and a 12-megapixel Ultrawide lens. On the front as well, there is a 12-megapixel selfie shooter in both smartphones.

Is Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra better than Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra?
