Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (2025)

Yes, the S24 Ultra comes with an integrated S Pen that slides directly into a dedicated slot on the bottom of the device. The S Pen allows you to take handwritten notes, sketch, and navigate the phone's interface with extreme precision. Samsung has also integrated software features like Air Actions, allowing you to control the camera or media using gestures with the stylus.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is powered globally by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, specially tuned by Qualcomm. Unlike previous years where Samsung used their in-house Exynos chips in certain international regions, all S24 Ultra models exclusively use this powerful Snapdragon chip. This ensures maximum graphical performance for gaming and efficient processing for the new Galaxy AI tasks.

Galaxy AI is Samsung's suite of artificial intelligence features powered by Google's Gemini Nano model and cloud processing. It includes real-time two-way voice translation during phone calls via Live Translate, generative photo editing, and advanced search using Circle to Search. Many of these AI features are currently provided for free, though Samsung has hinted some may require a subscription after 2025.

The S24 Ultra features a premium titanium frame for enhanced durability and a significantly lighter feel compared to previous aluminum models. The front is protected by Gorilla Armor, which drastically reduces screen glare and fingerprint smudges in bright sunlight. Samsung also incorporated several internal and external components made from recycled materials to emphasize sustainability.
