This year has started with a great flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. This is Samsung’s latest and most powerful smartphone so far. If you want to buy a new phone and you have made a list of new phones, then now you can include another new phone in that list. However, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a premium and flagship-category phone, which may be a little out of the budget of most people.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is faster and better than last year’s S23 Ultra, which this time has an even better camera and a powerful chipset. Samsung’s UI has also become smoother and faster this time. If you use the phone only for work purposes, then this phone will be the best because it has features that are not available even in iPhones worth Rs 2 lakh. Besides, Samsung’s AI also helps in working and helps in doing the work faster. Many settings are provided in Samsung’s device case so that the consumer can comfortably use them as per his convenience or change them as per his choice.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Price and Value

Samsung has launched its new Galaxy 24 Ultra in the market by increasing its price, which is slightly more expensive than last year’s Galaxy S23 Ultra. It is worth noting that last year’s Galaxy S23 Ultra has all the features that this year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra has. However, Samsung has promised that it will keep providing updates on its phones for 7 years. Due to this, the features of the new phones will also become available on other Samsung phones in some time.

It doesn’t make sense to upgrade from last year’s S23 Ultra to this year’s S24 Ultra. There doesn’t seem to be any good reason to buy a new phone with an increased price tag.
Samsung has launched the new S24 Ultra at a price of Rs 128,999 in the Indian market and $1,1299.99 in the US market. Which is giving tough competition to Apple’s phones.

Due to Samsung’s promise of providing all the security and latest updates for Android, it may reduce the price of its phones in the future. If we look at Apple, Apple provides updates to its phones only for 5 years, which Samsung surpasses and promises to provide updates for 7 years. It has been seen with Samsung that Samsung has not been able to live up to its promises; for this, we have to wait for 7 years to see whether it provides updates or not. Because this is not a problem with Apple, Apple updates as per its promise.

Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra is the fastest and most powerful phone ever. The S24 came out on top in the benchmark tests, beating the most powerful phone to date, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and winning. In this test, graphics rendering, battery rundown, and many other tests were conducted, in which Samsung won. But if we talk about the S23 Ultra, it was left behind by last year’s iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is a variant of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, so it is not clear whether the S24 Ultra is unchanged or has fewer new features. Many major changes have been made to the S24 Ultra, which is much better than last year’s S23 Ultra. Samsung has not done any work on its new look and design, which is quite disappointing. Because Samsung keeps the design of its new phones excellent and gives them a premium look. But it looks just like the old phone.
