Summary
There are no options missing from the premium version of the Android operating system. Existe una plethora of buques insignia que are of a high quality, possessing an excellent performance, pantallas that are brilliant and visually appealing, designs that are glamorous, and cameras that captivate you and make you believe that they are just as good as DSLR cameras. The Galaxy S series is capable of meeting the majority of these requirements, and the new Galaxy S24 Ultra does not deviate from the expectations that were set by its predecessors.
Galaxy S24 Ultra vs. S23 Ultra
In light of the fact that the Internet of Things (IA) is the most important phrase at the Samsung Unpacked event that took place this year, the S24 Ultra is achieving significant improvements in the ways in which we may connect with our mobile phones. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is going to be one of the most appealing and feature-packed Android smartphones in the year 2024, according to many different perspectives. However, is it sufficient to attempt to convince the owners of the Galaxy S23 Ultra to update their device?
In the event that you are interested in learning about the enhancements that the Galaxy S24 Ultra brings in comparison to the S23 Ultra from the previous year, you will find all the information that you want below.
The design of the Galaxy S24 Ultra against the S23 Ultra
As each year progresses, Samsung has persisted in adhering to the same ideology as Apple, introducing new logos with few modifications to the design. The Galaxy S23 Ultra received only minor modifications in comparison to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which, in turn, adopted the same design as the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra when Samsung made the decision to merge the two series.
El nuevo Galaxy S24 Ultra, on the other hand, does not differ much from the Galaxy S23 Ultra and only has minor modifications to its interface design. One of the most significant changes that the Galaxy S24 Ultra has undergone is the creation of a new chassis made of titanium, which replaces the aluminum alloy that was used in the previous model. Once again, it seems that this decision was influenced by Apple’s decision to modify the design in order to accommodate the chassis of the iPhone 15 Pro.
Although Samsung claims that the titanio would help the device last longer, there are no statements that can be considered certain on improvements that are measurable. At first glance, the updated version of the fingerprint may seem to have a more textured appearance than the brilliant fingerprint of the Galaxy S23 Ultra with a cromado fingerprint.
An further noteworthy change with regard to the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the installation of a new flat-screen display on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The pantalla is not completely flat; nevertheless, the curvature of the edges has been much reduced, and the portion of the pantalla’s curva that is now superimposed is mostly focused on the biseles that run down the length of the pantalla. According to Samsung, the new screen improves both legibility and productivity, despite the fact that people are irreconcilably divided on the subject of curved television screens. In order to enhance its durability, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has been upgraded to the most recent generation of Gorilla Glass from Corning. What this means is that it now has Gorilla Glass Armor, which offers a resistance that is four times greater to arañazos and has the ability to reduce reflections by as much as seventy-five percent.
The transition from curved borders to more flat borders on the screen does not have any impact on the area of the screen that is designed for visualisation (at least, it does not have a significant impact).
On the other hand, there are some minor adjustments that have been made to the overall dimensions of the telephone, which are now higher and somewhat shorter than they were the previous year. El Galaxy S24 Ultra, on the other hand, is a little bit more cumbersome than its predecessor, but it weighs exactly the same as the previous year, despite the fact that it has been upgraded to a titanium body, which is often seen as being lighter than aluminum.
Alongside the introduction of the new brand, Samsung has also introduced new colors, such as the amarillo (maybe another inspiration for the iPhone?), the gray, and the violet shade, which are intended to complement the already existing black hue. Furthermore, there are other colors that are exclusive to the Samsung website to choose from.
In addition to the display and the screen, the design of the Galaxy S24 Ultra is almost identical to the design of the product from the previous year.
Anillos circulares inconexos for various cameras that are mounted on the back of the camera, as well as a módulo of automátic láser enfoque, are among the attributes that have been passed down from the previous year. Additionally, there is a marco that has been aplanado to facilitate the agarre and ranura for the S Pen. Despite the fact that the location of the botones has not changed, Samsung has just announced that they would be using ten percent recycled thermoplastics in the manufacturing process. In and of itself, the cameras have undergone a little transformation, along with a few other internal components that will be discussed in the subsequent sections later on.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Galaxy S23 Ultra: the display
As was said before, the Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with a whole new display screen. Furthermore, in addition to the physical modifications made to the screen, the display of the Galaxy S24 Ultra is much more brilliant than its predecessor, boasting a maximum brightness of 2.600 nits (a unit of measurement for the intensity of light) in contrast to the maximum brightness of 1.750 nits that the Galaxy S23 Ultra has. During the time when HDR is being shown, it is important to note that the “brillo máximo” only represents the highest brillo of the individual pixels that make up the illumination.
Mientras tanto, otros valores, como el brillo típico y el mode de alto brillo (HBM), representan el brillo máximo del panel in su conjunto; Este último indica que el brillo se activa manualmente o bajo una iluminación ambiental intensa, como bajo el sun. Although Samsung does not disclose the brightness values in other ways, we should be able to learn more about this topic in the coming days when we review the Galaxy S24 Ultra and compare it more closely to its predecessor.
Aside from the shine and the design, there is not much that differentiates it from the one that was used the year before. Simply put, this is due to the fact that you do not need to correct anything that is functioning well. Samsung has distinguished itself as a pioneer in the field of pantallas. It has a long history of providing pantallas for other mobile phones, such as the iPhone and OnePlus, and its impressive capabilities are also shown here.
The term “Dynamic AMOLED 2X” refers to the official marketing term used to describe the LTPO display. This display allows for a variable frequency of update that ranges from 1 to 120 Hz, and it is synchronized with the speed of the photograms of the display’s content in order to prevent any errors or malfunctions.
The display will now have a resolution of Quad HD+, and it will be compatible with all of the colors that are available in the DCI-P3 color space. As was the case with the previous generations, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is compatible with the HDR10+ codec; however, it does not have compatibility with the Dolby Vision codec. Due to the fact that the panel is more brilliant, our concerns over the inability of the most recent generation to compete with more affordable panels that support Dolby Vision might be alleviated to a certain extent.
Galaxy S24 Ultra against S23 Ultra: performance comparison
It is possible that the hardware that is the most significant change that the Galaxy S24 Ultra brings about in comparison to the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the one that inspires it. As a result of the fact that the Galaxy S24Ultra is powered by a processor called Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which was released in October of 2023, it transformed into the first smartphone to be launched on a global scale using this particular chip.
During the development of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm made significant adjustments to the orientation of the central processing unit (CPU) núcleos. The company placed a strong emphasis on performance, which resulted in a 30% increase in performance compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. In addition, Qualcomm asserts that there has been a 25% improvement in the graphic performance, which should mostly translate into an enhanced gaming experience. Additionally, Samsung is collaborating with a few game development studios in order to facilitate the implementation of a ray-tracing feature in Android games, which is expected to become more widespread. “Diablo Immortal,” “Racing Master,” “Arena Breakout,” and “Night Crows” are among of the titles that are included in the first list of games that are compatible with the ray controller.
Additionally, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has certain enhancements that contribute to an enhanced performance. One of these enhancements is a camera that captures vapor that is ninety percent larger than the one found on the S23 Ultra. This allows for a more effective dissipation of heat during tasks that need high performance. In addition, 12 gigabytes of random-access memory (RAM) are now available in all storage capacities ranging from 256 gigabytes to one terabyte.
Furthermore, in addition to having a higher computational capacity, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 offers an astounding increase in 98% in the neural processing speed. At the very least, this is the hypothesis that Qualcomm presents, which states that artificial intelligence tasks may now be carried out on the device without the need for data centers that are based on the internet. Con la iA generativa y los grandes modelos de lenguaje como ChatGPT and Bard de Google, Samsung is now delving into the carro and introducing functions of IA generativa in the Galaxy S24 series. These products are among the most sought-after technological products of the previous year. These are the functions of artificial intelligence that the Galaxy S24 series provides:
Live Translate makes it possible to translate in real time throughout your calls while also providing transcription in real time. According to Samsung, all of the processing is carried out on the phone itself, and the company does not need the services of any third parties. In spite of this, it is recommended that you use the Samsung Dialer application rather than the Google Phone application.
Using Chat Assist, you will be able to generate text for applications that are used for sending messages to third parties, such as WhatsApp or Google Messages. It will have the ability to change the tone in order to adapt to the conversation and provide translation in real time for the messages that are sent via text. In order to make use of this service, you will need to make use of the Samsung Teclado as an application for a predetermined graphical user interface.
Note Assist, which is included in the Samsung Notes application, will make use of IA in order to retrieve notes and draw significant conclusions.
Both the voice notes and the recordings will be automatically transcribed by the assistant who is responsible for transcription.
The Circle to Search feature will enable users to easily navigate any piece of content shown on the screen and search for that particular portion on Google, rather than searching through the whole of the content displayed on the screen.
In the future, Android Auto will be able to respond to incoming messages and notifications while the driver is driving; however, this functionality will only be available when an update has been implemented.
As a result of the fact that these artificial intelligence functions in the Galaxy S24 are based on the model of automatic learning that Google has developed for the Gemini Nano, it is possible that we will also be able to see them in other Android devices. In this regard, Samsung has confirmed that certain artificial intelligence functions would be included to the Galaxy S23 Ultra at a later date.
Comparing the Galaxy S24 Ultra to the S23 Ultra in terms of battery life and capacity
El Galaxy S24 Ultra continues to be equipped with a battery capacity of 5.000 mAh, which is same to that of the S23 Ultra. If you are concerned about the environment, you will be relieved to learn that fifty percent of the copper that Samsung is in the process of using for the battery of the Galaxy S24 Ultra is being recycled. It is possible that there are no improvements in the actual life of the battery of the telecommunications device, in addition to the influence that this change is supposed to have on the environment.
En términos de carga, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is capable of offering speeds of up to 45 vatios when connected over a cable connection. At the same time, it is possible to use a certified inductive charger or one manufactured by Samsung in order to charge a phone with a power output of 15 watts or any other accessory that has a power output of 5 watts for Qi certification. Además de estos medios para la carga de entrada, el Galaxy S24 Ultra also allows for the carga of accessories such as Galaxy Buds or Galaxy Watch via the use of the inverso method of energy transfer, which has a limit of 3W.
Samsung has not disclosed if the internal components that have been updated, or any algorithm that utilizes artificial intelligence, have improved the battery life of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, we will also assess the effect that it will have in the days to come.
Comparison between the Galaxy S24 Ultra with the S23 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra was, without a doubt, one of the best smartphones with a camera that was released in the previous year. This year, the Galaxy S24 Ultra seems to be well-prepared to achieve that title, all thanks to a sensor that has been improved by 200 megapixels in comparison to the previous year.
Samsung has said that the new sensor is sixty percent larger than the ISOCELL HP2 that is included in the Galaxy S23 Ultra, despite the fact that the details are not immediately apparent in the presentation that Samsung has given. As a result, this should make it possible to get a much higher amount of light, particularly in dark environments, and it should also make it possible to achieve a better nighttime photography. Furthermore, Samsung claims that it has improved the optical image stabilization (OIS) in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, therefore reducing the nerviosism and the retrasos that are caused by sacudidas or movements.
Another significant change that has been made to the camera system is the addition of a new teleobjective periscópic sensor with a 5x magnification. Regarding the paper, it seems that there is a reduction in the 10x periscopio that is available in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. However, Samsung is certain that they are making significant enhancements to the image quality in order to enhance the quality of the enlarged images and enable a flawless transition from 2x to 10x. Instead of zooming in on the picture, the Galaxy S24 Ultra captures a section of the image that is taken in its whole. This provides a quality of image that is comparable to that of an optical zoom. The periscopio has the capability to disappear with a magnification of up to one hundred times, and Samsung has said that these images would be “nítidas,” most likely by the use of artificial intelligence (AI) generation to reconstruct damaged parts, similar to how it is done with the illumination of the moon.
Other two sensors, the ultra-gran angular sensor with 12 megapixels and the teleobjective sensor with 10 megapixels and a magnification of three times, have not been altered. Nevertheless, Samsung has placed a significant amount of faith in the initialization capabilities of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in order to enhance the performance of the camera.
In order to enhance the quality of the images that are captured inside the realm of “ProVisual Engine,” the Galaxy S24 series makes use of the capabilities of artificial intelligence-based processing that are available in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 device. The functions of IA are beneficial in a variety of ways, ranging from the reduction of the retraso of the obturador to the nitidez of the images. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be of great assistance in enhancing the quality of images by suggesting edits and enabling individuals to create or replace parts of their photographs via the use of “Edición generativa,” which is similar to the Google Pixel 8 series.
Samsung cameras are often blamed for their inability to capture photos with a high dynamic range (HDR) even when there is very little light. A response has been made, and that is the introduction of Super HDR, which enables the user to see a preview of the images that have been captured with HDR on the screen, just as they would appear once the processing has been completed. If the HDR turns out to be too aggressive, this might make it possible for you to disable it. Additionally, Samsung mentions that third-party applications, such as Instagram, will now be able to capture images and record videos with high dynamic range (HDR capabilities). On the other hand, in contrast to the Pixel 8, the HDR metadata will not be captured with the image. This means that the content will not be shown differently on screens that support or do not support HDR resolution.
As a result of the fact that the majority of these enhancements to the camera are associated with an improvement in hardware, whether it be in the sensor or at the level of the processor, it is possible that we will not be able to incorporate them into older mobile devices, particularly the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Comparing the Galaxy S24 Ultra to the S23 Ultra with regard to software and updates
The Samsung company has already begun the process of implementing its most recent update, One UI 6, which is based on Android 14. This update brings about significant changes in the design of a large number of devices belonging to the Galaxy S and Galaxy A series. It is one of the most notable visual updates that Samsung has made to its individualized Android interface. It contributes to improvements in the panel of configuration that is quick, a better theme that is based on the background of the screen, a new source, and a great deal more.
The latest version of One UI, version 6, has already been included on the Galaxy S23 series, including the Ultra model. To put it another way, there is no reason for the Galaxy S24 Ultra to run an earlier version of the OS. In point of fact, Samsung will be introducing more functions as part of the One UI 6.1 update, which will be implemented in a manner that has been predetermined in the Galaxy S24 Ultra and other S24 devices.
Eventualmente, la mayoría de las funciones también deberían estar disponibles en dispositivos más antiguos, como la serie Galaxy S23. Despite the fact that Samsung does not mention any personalization features that are comparable to the screen backgrounds generated by the artificial intelligence of the Pixel 8, it is possible that we may see them in the future when the functionality becomes more widespread throughout the Android ecosystem.
With Google announcing that it would be updating the firmware for the Pixel 8 series for a period of seven years, Samsung is making similar statements and promising that it will update the security and Android version for the Galaxy S24 series for a period of seven years. It is worth noting that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will have a lifespan that is many years longer than that of the S23 Ultra, despite the fact that it is just one generation away from the S23 Ultra. This is due to the fact that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will only get three more updates from the currently available version of Android when Android 14 is released.
Price and availability of the Galaxy S24 Ultra against the Galaxy S23 Ultra;
It is anticipated that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be available for purchase in the United States at an initial price of 1.300 dollars, which represents an increase of 100 dollars in comparison to the initial price of the S23 Ultra. As of the 31st of January in the year 2024, it will be available for purchase, with orders being accepted beginning on the 17th of January. If you make a reservation for the Galaxy S24 Ultra before the 30th of January, you will be able to take advantage of a free storage update and get the variation of 512 GB for the price of 256 GB (or 1 TB for the price of 512 GB). This will result in the recipient receiving an additional one hundred dollars in Samsung credits, which can be used to purchase more items on the brand’s website.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra is now available for purchase at an initial price of $1,200; however, it is possible to find more appealing deals from third-party retailers such as Amazon and. As the time of reservation comes to an end, it is possible that we will be able to provide testimonies of price reductions for the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra against the S23 Ultra: who is superior?
In comparison to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a clear improvement, with improved performance, a more improved display, and cameras that are of a higher quality. However, the one thing that makes the selection of the Galaxy S24 Ultra a no-brainer in comparison to the S23 Ultra is the extended software support that Samsung provides in the first place. With seven years of Android development and security updates, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will get support for software that is up to date, up to Android 21. However, it is possible that the hardware, particularly the processor, may not be able to keep up with the most recent generational advancements.
El único aspecto en el que el Galaxy S23 Ultra sigue teniendo más sentido que el Galaxy S24 Ultra es si Samsung consigue reducir significativamente el precio y hacer que tenga una mejor relación calidad-precio, o si consigues una oferta lucrativa del pequeño vendedor con el que te hiciste amigo principalmente por esa razón. El contrario, el acceso instantáneo a las nuevas funciones de IA. Additionally, the promise of a more improved use in the coming years will be lost.
Having said that, if you already own a Galaxy S23 Ultra, it is almost certain that you do not need an upgrade to the S24 Ultra. It is undeniable that the S24 Ultra is superior in terms of its technical capabilities; nonetheless, the S23 Ultra continues to be an exceptional Android phone, and it will acquire the majority of the Galaxy AI functions that are available on the S24 Ultra.
