What is special about the S24 Ultra's screen?

It features the new Corning Gorilla Armor glass, which reduces reflections by up to 75%, making the screen much more readable in direct sunlight than any other smartphone.

Are Galaxy AI features paid?

As of 2026, most core features (Circle to Search, Live Translate) remain free, but Samsung has hinted at potential premium features in the future.

How does the titanium frame affect durability?

Titanium (Grade 2) offers better resistance to scratches and impacts compared to aluminum, while maintaining the structural integrity of the device.

Is the 5x optical zoom worse than the old 10x zoom?

No, the new 50MP sensor with 5x zoom allows for higher quality images even at 10x magnification compared to the old 10MP sensor, thanks to the higher resolution.

How long does the S24 Ultra battery last in real-world use?

Thanks to the efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the battery easily lasts 1.5 to 2 days with average use.

Is the S-Pen included with the device?

Yes, the S-Pen is integrated into the phone's body and charges automatically when in its slot.
